I tried installing Sengoku but it wasn't working, so when Rajas patches up I'll give it another shot.

Sengoku doesn't work with Rajas at the moment.

I have a version running but it's buggy and the very useful designate heir function doesn't work for me.

Unless something's changed in the last patch or so, LC are one of the weakest troop types and any retinue built around them is right at the bottom of the pack.

Offensive light cavalry isn't terrible as LC is an all-out offence troop type, so it's basically improving the one thing they're good at. Defensive light cavalry is absolute shite though and the only thing worse is light infantry.

How good are camel warriors?

That'd be Olafolaf, who posted about it not too many pages ago. I think he's currently working on making it compatible with the latest patch.

Also, there's me! I'm making a fantasy total conversion mod that isn't based on any pre-existing franchise at all, but I'm currently waiting for the patch to come out of beta so I don't have to do all the work to make it beta-compatible and then have to make it patch-compatible too.

There is SO MUCH STUFF that needs to be updated

The only thing I've noticed is that making a merchant republic will sometimes screw around with inheritances and if you have elective succession sometimes you won't be able to nominate your children. You may also find older male relatives disappearing from your court because they've become the patrician. This should only apply to unlanded dynasty members though.

I've also seen straight stuff like the heir to Dogeship of Venice being married to the Queen of Hungary because they were of the same dynasty.

If you do make some distant cousin the first Doge of a Republic, though, they seem to do well because of the added prestige.

By the way, speaking of merchant republics, I thought the Doge always had to be male? I noticed in my last game that one of mine had a female Doge about three times in a row.

Thanks. I was worried that with Seniority succession the Republic title would ping all over my dynasty messing things up, making counts suddenly Doges etc. It sounds like this isn't a likely issue. I presume the heir nomination thing focuses on direct relations.

Last I tried(a week or so ago) giving baronies or counties to relatives didn't stop them from inheriting the republic.
Opposite is true though - Doge is removed from feudal succession.

Stats-wise, pretty good. Like heavy infantry that isn't crap in skirmish.

I am playing a game as Rome because why not and got the spawn of satan event chain for my new heir. I died shortly after that and he took over and thing went pretty great from there. A little while after taking over most of my vassals rebelled which was fine because they didn't have much chance against 20,000 cataphracts and a leader who listened to Jesus for military advice and had like 45 military skill. After crushing the rebellion and finding like 60 of my vassals now in jail I began getting oil up the rack events constantly. Since I am Satan spawn I can't decline and I wouldn't really want to. This is probably the best event chain ever. I have no idea how many people have died at my emperors hand.

The beta patch should be compatible with achievements. I got the one for holding the empires of Persia and Rajastan using the beta patch, although I did start that game before the patch.

It didn't for me, but it could be since I'm playing it on Linux. There's been issues with checksums being different on Linux before, and I commonly experienced the first digit of the checksum to change after starting the game and resigning.

At one point I was considering just setting modding aside for a while until Paradox announced that it would not be developing any more new patches for CK2. The pain of having to re-update a big mod like mine or yours every time a new patch comes out is just so tiresome and so annoying, and it really kind of takes the wind out of my sails for modding to have to go through it every time. I want to keep developing new stuff, not fiddle with old stuff.

The trick is to be at a point where events and decisions haven't been touched at all yet and it's just title and province histories being worked on, and you'll never have to worry about about updating anything aside from defines.lua :v:

Joke's on you, I've been ignoring modern administrative borders this whole time. Canada also has the positive of having actual coats of arms for all the cities and counties, as opposed to US municipalities which, if I'm lucky, have a little seal on a field of blue and the words 'PODUNK COUNTY 1856' as their flag.

Do revolts get armies out of no where or do they just regen troops at a way faster rate than I do? I go and kill like 5-6 10k or 15k stacks in quick sucession and they seemingly have more stacks hiding around every fog of war. Killing their entire armies time and time again doesn't seem to move war score that much but if you occupy 1 holding of mine they get like 5% warscore for each of them. They are just annoying to deal with and not a real difficulty and it is really unfun. Being a defender in a war seems really unbalanced towards the attacker who needs vastly less actually achieved to win. This happens even when the defender has completely outclassed the attacker. I can win every god drat battle and killed 10x the amount of their men that they killed of mine and the war score barely ticks.

You could try looking up the local Catholic diocese's coat of arms, they at least tend to look more legit. The downside to this is that it kinda forces you to make them Catholic, unless you just use them as a base to expand from.

There won't be a console command to end them specifically. You could fire the event that removes it... which, uh, appears to have disappeared :v:

... but that only cleared one province at a time. You'd be better off writing a custom event that just removed the modifier from every province in the world at once. Try this:

code:

character_event = {
	id = Goon.0001
	desc = EVTDESC_Goon_0001
	picture = GFX_evt_bishop
	border = GFX_event_normal_frame_religion
	major = yes
	
	is_triggered_only = yes
	
	option = {
		name = EVTOPTA_Goon_0001
		any_demesne_province = { remove_province_modifier = religious_unrest }
	}
}

I haven't done much event scripting for CK2, but I think this should fire for every character in the game, when you trigger it.

This is looking good and coming along at a decent enough pace. Soon you'll be done with the most densely populated areas also (until you hit California) and you can probably justify making larger and fewer provinces in the mid-west, pacific NW and the South west along the mexican border. Are you planning on doing anything with Mexico? Obviously not include it all though. I also see you got the tuskegeean portraits working

According to the event files it's any indian group religion, male only and no one in your immediate family can have been reincarnated. There's something based on whether your father is alive or not, but I don't understand it. Maybe that's why it's rare: your father has to die before you are born.
