The coast line is all wrong! California should have fallen into the sea by now! The great quake took it all! And created a nice religion around it.

JGBeagle posted:If anything, the little sliver of Vegas would probably be a county or something. But I think the majority of the West Coast should be wasteland; much of it (Nevada especially) isn't inhabited today. Of course I'm not saying California is a wasteland. Hell if anything that should be an Empire all of it's own. Have the counties form six kingdoms (to represent the whole Six Californias movement going on for some reason) that form into the Empire of California. My idea was roughly to split the state into two kingdoms, and have an "Empire of the West" encompassing the whole West Coast. As it is, I'm not sure if the size of the area on the map would really justify having six Kingdoms, unless they're going to be tiny 3-county kingdoms like Navarra, or there's going to be much smaller and denser provinces than the East coast.

Does the new patch do anything about pagans usurping Christian titles? I'd like to start a new Viking game but I'm really not interested in taking each individual plot of Scotland by hand.

Ofaloaf posted:Smaller de jure duchies and kingdoms tend to make for potentially more volatile situations, from what I've seen, especially as long as gavelkind is involved. Should California be a pit of violence and landgrabbing, or a region of peace and stability in an otherwise chaotic continent? The Northern part hates the Southern part so I doubt they'd stay friends. See our ongoing water problem.

Would you guys be interested in more point-by-point breakdowns of things like I did for combat? Because it seems like every Steam sale we get some completely new players coming in asking about stuff, and the game itself isn't documented very well in terms of the real gameplay flow. We've got the tutorial thread, but that's more LP stuff, I'm talking about more of an old-school Prima strategy guide kinda deal.

#327 on List of Things I Had to Learn the Hard Way: Taking a -50 opinion hit from the tyranny of imprisoning and executing an adventurer threat, then realizing that he was of your dynasty so you're a kinslayer, and also all of your top-level vassals are of your dynasty, really really sucks, but it's still better than the alternative of facing a doomstack 3x the size of anything I can field.

Soooo is there anything you can do about the Holy Roman Empire getting positively massive and just eating everything? I have an Ireland game I don't want to just abandon but I'm having some issues with them and the Aztec invasion that just got dumped on my border. The HRE spans from Spain to Hungary right now. It controls all of Italy (including the Pope, even though the Emporer is Lollard and the Pope is Catholic) and a few slivers of Africa goo. The Emperor, even though we were total bros for a hundred years, declares war on me and takes a duchy every time the truce runs out. I just can't muster enough allies and literally nobody comes even close to how powerful the Kaiser is. Byzantium and the one Muslim empire might have been able to deal with him if they weren't incessantly falling apart and reforming due to rebellions. Is this just a case of "hold out as long as possible for whatever points you can get?" It's been fun to be sure, I'm just running into some issues.

Take less of a relations hit that way.

The idea of revoking a random city didn't occur to me, since yeah, it would have definitely incurred less tyranny and also not kinslayer. Thankfully, buying an indulgence still erases kinslayer about half the time, which is seriously overpowered and turns kinslayer from a massive impediment into a joke, unless you can't scrounge the money together in time.

If you're old feel free to use your spymaster and take a risk unless it's like 5% chance 50% chance of being caught. Undoubtly there are a lot of people who hate him. Keep killing Emperors and the constant successions will begin to start fracturing the empire. The short reign penalty will cause havoc and with any luck the AI wont have been attentive to making sure every vassal is the same culture so perhaps some independence factions will form and fire off.

Thanks to having seniority inheritance forced on me early in the game my Irish-Italo dynasty is crumbling due to one sick old king after another taking the throne. Vassals keep creating "Replace King of Italy with____" factions and there isn't enough stabbing to stop them all. I think it's time to cast off Italy and hope for a nice quiet reign after which I can switch to an inheritance method that doesn't guarantee Rule of the Ancients.

Just keep in mind that every time the HRE gets a new ruler, the truce timer finishes, so he could technically war you right away. If you can stab him enough so there is a child on the throne then I'd go for that, since it should hopefully split things up on him more than a random adult taking the throne. Also, if you can pick off some land in the HRE during a revolt, you can make it your primary title, then join the HRE and expand from within.

Geokinesis posted:I'm trying! My tactic was to swear fealty immediately, just so I'm less likely to be declared on by the Muslims; then save up Military tech points for shipyards, gold for the purchase of said shipyards, and piety for the holy order. Once you have 10 boats, you can hire the holy order and take the southermost duchy of Arabia. With a bit of luck, you can keep expanding into Arabia with the holy order, while the King of Abyssinia builds up his Kingdom there, such that combined you become powerful enough to be able to repel the Abbassid Caliph, when he inevitably becomes your neighbour. I eventually gave up on my Scotora game, and instead played around as the Indians. By the time I had conquered the empire of Persia, the Kingdom of Mesopotamia and the Kingdom of Arabia, I was surprised to see that Scotora was still Nestorian, so I moved my capital and converted. A difficult reign ensued, since the technology in Scotora was awful, though I managed to convert all my vassals easily enough, since I had built up a war-chest to bribe them with. I was getting bored, but then the next generation had my Patriarch convert to Messalian, so I thought I'd give that a go. The conversion is still ongoing, and I miss free excommunication, since it makes imprisoning difficult dukes so easy; but my ultimate goal is to worm my way into the successions of the Holy Roman and Byzantine Empires, so I can re-form the Roman Empire and stack all the opinion bonuses from Noble customs (currently +14), Born in the Purple (+5 I think), Augustus (+15) and Divine marriage (+10); since I'd quite like, for once, to have a ruler who was universally loved.
