Doesn't matter too much I've taken over the only merchant republics so I can form the roman empire so all the trade post have disappeared.

I've been enjoying the crap out of this game but one little thing that's kind of nagging; I started playing Venice and it feels like merchant republics are hideously powerful. That morale boost to pikemen makes them ludicrously difficult to break if they aren't hideously outnumbered. I'm just spamming pikemen retinues all over and eating everything. One successful crusade was all it took. Once I had Israel and 12 trading posts it was just "declare holy war, win holy war, repeat." I feel like it's almost an exploit. Just spam pikemen and shock retinues, conquer everything that isn't Catholic.

As someone from new Orleans thought I'd give you some advice if that's cool. There's a huge culture gap between the city proper and north Louisiana. I would def split it and make new Orleans a merchant republic. It would fit so well.

It's bizarre. The game crashes every five minutes, I do the cmd workaround and disable all non-core DLCs. Game crashes instantly on startup. Then I disable RoI and suddenly everything is right as rain. Why? Are the Indian Portraits really that space-consuming?

I decided to try actually playing as norse pagan for real and I've conquered all of Sweden and Norway plus Sjælland for the third holy site, now I just need the 750 piety and 50% moral authority to reform the faith. MA was actually doing well for a long time but now it has dipped to 30%. I've found out that sacking Rome and Venice is good business though since they're less well defended and they have a lot of money. Venice in particular since they can't really defend themselves once you've landed raiders. Also, was the AI patched recently to be more aggressive against raiders in general or just against human controlled raiders because I don't think I've ever seen it actually go an attack raiders before.

So my uncle rounded up a band of adventurers to replace me as petty king. Fought him tooth and nail but in the end I lost and he revoked all my titles. Then I became the man I hated. Literally?  So now my former character is running around Europe nursing a hate-on for me now AND I lost my chance to sieze all of brittany because these two idiots were in-fighting and weakening the entire kingdom.

Is there any way to stop constant peasant uprisings in a massive empire? Right now I control Ireland, Wales, Lithuania, all of Africa but Abyssinia and Mali, the Arabic empire, half of the Persian empire, a chunk of Italy, Croatia, and parts of India. I have an uprising somewhere every damned week and it's a complete crap shoot if my vassals can deal with it. Sometimes they can but other times I have to raise a pile of levies and then remember that I did it. Is there a way to stop it? I only have on martial and using him to suppress a territory never seems to accomplish much. Two of the territories in particular that have been non-stop revolts for a century are heretic strongholds and it just never goes away. It got so bad that I plopped 3,000-strong retinues in each of them permanently.

Pick a religion and try to convert everybody by getting correct rulers and using your council.

Dante posted:I'm guessing there's a million cultures and religions going on in your empire. Pick a religion and try to convert everybody by getting correct rulers and using your council. I haven't really looked at cultures much but 90% of the territory is currently Catholic. I certainly expected new conquests to have issues but really certain areas just revolt all the time no matter what. I have my chaplain running around proselytizing everywhere and heresy hasn't really been much of an issue. The Lollards crop up every now and again but I almost always have 25 learning priests that deal with that real nice. My vassals also seem to do a fine job converting everything to Catholic. Oddly enough the Muslim territories have been pretty placid. It's Miaphysite or Aztec ones that are the biggest pain in the rear end. Though I wonder if that's because there aren't any Muslim empires anymore, with the exception of the last scraps of Mali. Does that affect things? The Muslims seemed to calm down when I wrecked the Fatimid's poo poo. I'll have to check the cultures though, didn't think of that one.

I dont know if this is well known information but I was watching Arumba's Norse Rebirth campaign and he brought up that if you don't have army leaders assigned then you can't get siege events since they're tied to characters. That's one way to preserve your troops I suppose.

Bah! This revokation bug is really getting on my nerves! The check for whether you can revoke titles is tied to the target's crown law, rather than your own. This really caused problems for me trying to deal with a troublesome King; since I revoked his Kingdom, but he was a double duke, so I had to try to get rid of his second duchy too. Unfortunately he didn't accept the second revokation, so we had a civil war. As soon as it started, he formed the Kingdom I just revoked and destroyed. I don't think rebellions should be able to create new titles. So I finished the civil war, but now I can't revoke his titles, since they are under a Kingdom with autonomous vassals, so revokation is not allowed. Now I have to wait for him to raise his crown authority again before I can get rid of that king!

ROI has brought on some interesting bugs but this is ridiculous. A king who's the vassal of a duke? I can't declare war on him because he's not independent, but his liege only controls Nepal so I can't subjugate the area i'm interested in.

Are there any late Roman empire mods for CK2 yet? I'm thinking this could even be a good idea for a new DLC, now that we have unified revolters, invasion CBs, raiding and of course event-spawned hordes. Of course the proto-feudal structures wouldn't be 100% accurate but it's not like we have that now anyways. I think it'd be fun.

Most of the titles and characters were complete (using as many people from this as possible), but then I was away for over a month and I could never get the thing working with updates after that. Some fellow on 4chan's /vg/ made an effort to get it working again, some months back, and he kindly sent me a working copy of his update, but even that's a few patches behind now.

Any, except light infantry and light cav. Make sure to use culturally appropriate commanders. e: I moved CK2 to my SSD but the autosaves, even early in a game, still take like 5 seconds. Coupled with how quick a month goes by that's hella annoying.

This is the single most powerful AI blob I have ever seen, so I thought I'd share. At some point while I was playing around in India and not paying attention, the Sunni Caliphate passed from the Abbasid dynasty to the Zahirids, who proceeded to hulk out all over the place. They can call up almost 120,000 troops, four times more then the next largest state (the Francian empire, which resulted from all the surviving Karlings consolidating and then taking over England, Scotland, and Wales.) The Seljuks never really got rolling, so I'm looking forward to seeing how the ilkhanate fares when they show up soon. That grey blob in Iberia is the Teutonic Order, which was granted the whole kingdom of Andalusia after the first Catholic Crusade in the 960's. They then spent the next century taking the rest of southern Iberia in holy wars. At some point during all that, the King of Asturias successfully converted most of his vassals to Waldensianism. Which probably would have worked out better if their new neighbors weren't a militant Catholic holy order who then spent a few decades gobbling up northern Iberia. They are currently trying to fend off a Zahirid holy war with the help of Franica. Shortly after this screenshot was taken, the Byzantine Empire lost it's Georgian and Dalmatian holdings, and are now reduced to Rhodes, Crete, Venice, and southern Italy. They also converted to Sunni Islam at some point, so the King of Italy and like half his Dukes are racing to snap up the last of their Italian territory.

The Mattybee posted:So what retinues are/aren't worth using? I honestly don't think many cultural ones are bad. Basically gently caress Light Cav (can be fine if mixed with Horse Archers like some of the Altaic cultures get, because Horse Archer are crazy strong) and Light Inf. Greek Cataphracts and English/Welsh longbows are personal favourites (and for just about everyone, really). I've seen people swear by Pikemen but I've never tried them myself. Arabian Camel ones are terrible, worst in the game (although I haven't looked at them since Camels became their own unit type in RoI, but I can't imagine they tweaked the numbers that much when separating them out from Light Cav). But my personal thing, when not playing Greek/English/Welsh, is to just build up the skirmish retinue though. It's 600 points for 500 men, and building up a stack of 10k of them allows you to instantly assault anything for very few losses -- archers do an enormous amount of morale damage when assaulting a holding, so you'll take even the most built up castle inside a week, usually 3 ticks or so. They're absolute trash in combat but that's beside the point, being able to run in and smash some border provinces for cheap warscore (and prevent a ticking warscore) has enormous value. They're also really strong early game against pagans because you can assault and run out to minimise the attrition penalty. After that, if you're big enough, then just go hog wild with your cultural retinue, or do a mix of the knight retinue with the shock one for a super strong melee phase. (But once you get past 10k you're strong enough for it to not really matter, to be honest.) It's kinda hard to do badly with retinues full stop, really, most of them are workable.

If I press the claim of a vassal's vassal will I remain his liege (even if by proxy)? He will be a duke after the war and his current liege is a duke as well. I'm a (3 time) king. No one involved is in my dynasty. e: eh, I have a vassal I can imprison with a terrible % of success. I'll just get him to revolt, crush him, strip his titles and land the guy so I can press his claim. Oh feudalism. FatCow fucked around with this message at 02:33 on Apr 20, 2014 |
