Do Muslims not get free imprisonment of male dynasty members anymore? Even on decadent dynasty members it's still saying that it's considered tyranny.

Yeah, and sometimes they just wont let you talk to them about it! It's not perfect. You are bound to get one or two guys you can't talk to. Which leaves you to swallow the bug and the dishonor/tyranny. Or swallow your pride and console them out of existence.

I got a notice that my own brother was gathering a host to attack me, so I immediately started a plot to have him killed. The plot sat at 150% power for the next two years without the event chain firing, and before long 30,000 hostile troops magically appeared right on top of my capitol. Like I already said, my personal levies, vassal levies, and retinues totaled around 5,000.

The Mighty Biscuit posted:Yeah, and sometimes they just wont let you talk to them about it! As far as I know, there's no bugs with decadence, it's just a design issue. If a guy goes decadent you can ask him to cut that poo poo out, and either he does it or you get to imprison him for free. That's all fine, but each character can only be asked to straighten up once, and there are two problem cases: 1) A guy goes decadent again - you've already asked him and can't do it again. You can try to avoid this by landing people that agree to fix their ways, since landed males are less likely to become decadent. 2) Someone else asks them to straighten up and they refuse. Any high ranked dynasty member can ask someone to straighten up, so a Duke could ask a Count to stop being so decadent and the Count could tell him to take a suck. Now the Duke has a free imprison, but the player King does not, and the Duke might not imprison the guy for a variety of reasons. You can try to avoid this by keeping your dynasty member all one level below you, or not having any other vassals between you and them. But they could still ask their kids to straighten up, or if you make them Dukes they may land their family as counts under them. I rather think anyone of your dynasty with the Decadent trait and the Asked to straighten up flag should be a free imprison for the topliege, but even without that do note that imprisoning a decadent character only gives a -10 tyranny penalty, not -40 like normal. Even if they are not of your dynasty.

Ofaloaf posted:That's the number of potential de jure baronies every county has in vanilla, regardless of the holding limit defined in each individual province file. I figured that there was a reason for that and going under 8 would disturb the dark gods of modding, cause a plague of locusts to descend o'er the land, etc. Extra potential baronies beyond the province limit are indeed just cosmetic naming differences. If a province can have just 2 holdings, it only needs 2 to function. If it had 8, then the newly-built second holding will randomly pick from the 7 available.

On something related to that, in my Zoroastrian game I just had my third holy war a vassal has declared on an enemy that I have a truce with. Are there ways to prevent them from doing this, and/or can I help them without just assassinating the enemy and declaring war on his heir? (Not that I don't want to do that, it's just that when all your enemy's vassals hate you for being an infidel it's hard to plot against them most of the time, and meanwhile hired assassinations are more expensive than I can usually afford and really unlikely to work.)

Absolute crown authority prevents your vassals from being able to declare war on their own.

Bwahaha, this was pretty glorious. My plans to unite Nubia were at complete standstill after I got the lone counties conquered, and then of course Abyssinia decided to take my duchy too. And instead of being smart and immediately hiring mercenaries I first got my own army killed and got myself into a situation where even the mercs were outmatched. And then the other big Nubian duchy and one county decides it's payback time for all those claims I pushed. And I have that one small mercenary army that I can afford to keep for months, which gives me a breather with the other Nubians but can do gently caress all about the twice as large Abyssinian army. Then the whole loving region explodes. There's a suddenly a huge Monophysite rebellion right at the border in Abyssinia, which annihilates the Abyssinian army conquering my counties there. So I manage to reconquer those and bring the warscore back to zero from something like -85. And just about to take out the other invading armies too before I ran out of money and had to get rid of the mercenaries. So I bring those warscores slightly to the plus side, but have no army to go anywhere fast from there. Then the last duchy decides to attack my enemies, takes out the rest of their guys, has a rebellion to install me as their leader, which happens pretty quick since all their guys died too and the rebels immediately win. Abyssinia eventually gets tired of the stalemate and declares white peace. I am the King of Nubia now. BioMe fucked around with this message at 22:34 on Apr 30, 2014 |

Just a quick question: is having the Hungarian culture enough for the tribal invasion CB or is that just a Tengri thing? I just started a Magyar game with the intention of converting to Judaism and using the event troops granted from creating Hungary to rush all the way to the Levant to recreate Israel and I'm just wondering whether I have to do this the hard way (i.e. using holy wars instead of tribal invasions).

Converting every single county in Britain to Cathar was fun. After a century of female empresses ruling, I thought it fit flavor-wise to do some very light modding and enable Enatic succession. The rebellion that followed was epic indeed, but ended up being solved mostly by my 85 year old empress dying and being replaced by her Attractive granddaughter. Also, I ended up creating a new Cathar realm by accident after converting a Finnish princess by marrying her to one of my sons, and she somehow took the Finnish throne. She managed to convert some of her dukes before being murdered, but she did have a son right before dying. For some reason, the Finns seemed to hate their new foreign, heretic, short reign king. Fortunately, he has me to put down the constant, constant rebellions.

For reference, the Mongols and the Aztecs are the only horde cultures. So if you hold off converting from Pagan long enough for the Mongols to turn up, you could convert your culture to Mongolian and convert your religion to Judaism and still keep the tribal invasion CB. The ridiculous thing is that you can go Jain and keep the tribal invasion CB, while still having a ridiculously stable realm.

So, out of curiosity, what are some good mods for this? The OP says that CK2+ isn't updating anymore but I swear I heard people talking about it more recently than that. Could be wrong though. Also, semi-related, how on earth does multiplayer work in this? Can anyone pause it or does it just chug along the same for everyone, or something else? It seems like it would be rather frustrating either way, though if you have voice chat or something you could at least warn about upcoming pauses and stuff.

The Historical Immersion Project seems to be updated? There's a bunch of bits and I don't know what is and isn't updated. Lux Invicta might be good? I haven't put much time into it. It has an updated version that still uses the old map, I got it from a link in its thread somewhere, but I'm pretty sure they intend to use the expanded map too, they just haven't got that all out yet.

Gotcha, thanks. Knew about the GoT mod and was thinking of trying it eventually, but the other things are good to know. Couple more questions. First, I remember Sorites making his daughter his heir in his Zoroastrian LP despite (I think) him having other sons. Is that an option in elective nibarcies even if your laws aren't absolute cognatic, or am I just misremembering the "other sons" bit? Also, for CK2+, how do Zoroastrians fare in it? The holy war changes seem like they might be a drawback, but on the other hand being able to start with 100 piety thanks to Xwedodah and then get more piety through warfare while your enemies can't declare an offensive war on you for a while and can only try to stop you from taking their stuff might actually buff their early game, which is presently "declare holy war immediately or pray you don't have it happen to you". (It will, Shah Nasr is an rear end in a top hat, take Khiva from him immediately because Khiva is a seven barony county and also gently caress that dude.)
