Darkrenown posted:Should not be. Did he do it in one step or did he have multiple events? I thought this only happened when you had multiple regents each taking you down one level. I've had it happen before too. The regent event that lets them do it for free can only happen once per regent, but that same regent can then still join someone else's "lower authority" faction and cause it to automatically succeed. That's two CA drops, and I don't think the automatic faction success thing is limited to once per regency. Though if you have a regency lasting that long, there'll often be a regent change anyway, opening both up again.

I also had Enatic Matriarchal steppe Amazons, Not-China, and Inuit tribes. That sounds cool, but a bitch to implement. I've always wanted to do more modding for CK2, but the most I can do is whip up some events (mostly by aping pdox-made events) and create special retinues/troops.

The last thing I was working on, though, was getting the horde invasion to work. I think I ended up abandoning the horde invasion idea and implemented a kind of "plague" that either kills you or converts you to the same culture and religion as other infected. Members of the "Infected" culture gain a CB that allows them to holy-war for territory and some event troop spawns.

As Poland, I was helping my ally the King of Norway beat down on the HRE in a holy war for ... Brunswick?? The HRE being mostly Lollard by now, including the rulers for a solid 100 years. Norway comes in with 15k soldiers and I have about the same. The HRE had two stacks of about 14k each, but they split them up to attack each of us instead of combining into one giant army. I slaughtered my stack with 17+ martial commanders and I guess the Norwegians did the same, so they had the whole HRE at their mercy. ... then I see the war ends inconclusively because the idiot Norwegian king converted to a Lollard, despite not owning a single Lollard county.  why. Should I even bother doing this myself and declare a holy war for Bohemia or something? The HRE is still a bit distracted with a war against Templar Italy (which they lost in a Catholic crusade  ) for Provence, but they seem likely to win that soon. Otherwise I can just continue eating up Lithuania, I guess.Do you need the Old Gods to form the Wendish Empire?

I'm confused about what is going on here. I am a Duke under the Queen of France. I have a daughter (oldest) and a son with the Queen of Brittany. I want to play as my son next and be the King of Brittany. Instead it looks like my son will inherit Brittany but the daughter will inherit my duchy in France and I will have to play as her. What is the deal here, why is my daughter inheriting anything when I already have a son? The succession laws in my duchy are agnatic-cognatic primogeniture so I thought my son should get all of my titles.

Does France have High Crown Authority? That will usually block French titles from being inherited outside the realm, and since your son is the heir to Brittany he might be blocked from inheriting your French duchy since it would mean those lands would leave the French crown (depending on who dies first and whether the Queen of Brittany is a Petty Queen (duke tier ingame) or a regular queen (king tier ingame) - long story short this poo poo is complicated but I think the list of heirs shown for each title takes this sort of thing into account.)

So I would need to lower crown authority to medium before my current character dies in order to get Brittany and my dukedom?

Somehow going independent might also work, I'm not quite sure how High CA functions with independent rulers that are in the de jure territory of that kingdom.

I really wish they'd hurry and add the ability to influence your religious head to call Crusades. In my Zoro game, which I have successfully wiped out every Muslim state except for Mali (And then granted them independence because playing a mega realm gets boring) I noticed something horrifying. The HRE ate the Byzantine empire. By the time I noticed they had already unified, and despite alot of gold in assassinations when the Byzantines broke free, they only got a handful of counties instead of their old dejure Empire. I want to harm the HRE as I would be tempted to take this game into EU4, but I only have 80 or so years before the game ends, and I don't think 8 Holy Wars would harm the HRE. Also at some point they destroyed the Byzantine title.

It's not even that it's not there, it's that it's there for Christians only (or the player can become Caliph/Fylkir and call crusades themselves, but that doesn't do anything for other pagans and Zoroastrians). At least that means it wouldn't be hugely troublesome for Paradox to add.

Can Holy Orders join in any war against a heretic/infidel or does it need to be a religious war? I'm playing as the Nestorian Republic of Socotra and I really want to punch in some Rassid teeth without antagonizing the Sunni Caliphate.

Is it WAD that foreign kids in my dungeon can still be considered out of diplomatic range if I want to place them in guardianship in my court? I think it's much more interesting when you're allowed to raise hostages to be your culture and religion.

I'm guessing if you gave that title to another religious head the game would poo poo itself with trying to flip between the two religions.

Assuming you're a religion that allows it: When you select a troop you'll see a small torch near the top of the merge/unit/comp/etc info pane. Click it. Happy pillaging.  Having boats in the waters next to the province will store the gold, which will be given to you when it docks home. E:

Some of the Norse rulers start at war. Those are most likely the free event troops you get to help achieve your glorious conquest against the silly christians. Make sure to Blot them all. You won't get event troops back after disbanding them, and can't declare war with them raised. E: Not really sure how well versed you are at the game, so don't mind me if you already know most of it

I've owned EUIV since it came out, but haven't played it since then because I'm determined to get a CKII game to 1444 first. So far I've managed to replace almost all of the established Catholic kingdoms in Europe with Norse ones by giving them to my second and third sons and granting them independance. I also just gave Jerusalem to the Jomsvikings along with most of Crimea. It's still only 1096.

Playing as the Saffarids, picked up most of the land east of the Abbasids' western border, but now it's just the two of us. The Caliph is mopping up a war for Azerbaijan, several months to the north where I'd be fighting. Our truce is about to come up; if I call up all of my troops and all of my vassals', plus hiring all four available merc bands, I'd outnumber his forces, roughly 21k to 19k (though I'd be lucky if I could pay for those troops for two years). If I declared a holy war for Birjand (I converted to Zoroastrianism), I might be able to take one of his most lucrative and populous duchies, and not be at quite as much of a disadvantage in ten years. His decadence is at 9% and rising at just over 1% per month, and he has a couple unhappy dukes; I could wait for a revolt, either decadence or faction (there's one duke at -50 who's part of a faction), and try to bite off a chunk without facing his whole army. But that also risks having to fight another defensive holy war, and that's far from an appealing scenario. Could also try to swear fealty once his war is over, if he doesn't see the risk in having a vassal of a different religion who could take any of his dukes easily, and I read somewhere that kings can only swear fealty to their de jure liege, and I'm not in the Arabian Empire at all.

Is having the Shia caliph like you enough to stop him from calling jihads? I plunked my chancellor on his capital while I mopped up a bunch of wars/started expanding with Imperial Subjugation, and now the caliph has a 90 opinion of me. He hasn't called one since his war for Anatolia, even though I've since holy warred him for both Damascus and whatever duchy contains Baghdad. Will this also make him more hesitant to join against me in holy wars? If I could mop up egypt without him getting involved it would be nice.

I'm playing Dire (well his son) right now and I suggest that once the Magyars move into Hungary, make it a priority to reach the Black Sea. Once you have that port, you can send your troops anywhere in the (very rich) Mediterranean to loot. The event troops don't reinforce so use them wisely. Once you get large enough to have a decent size retinue, you can use that to loot. Keep an eye out for rebels who you might be able to swoop in on and loot. Money from looting is essential to upgrade Kiev (konugardr). Once you have a ruler with some decades left in him and a decent power base, you can choose the Become King of Ruthenia ambition for very powerful subjugation CBs on everybody in the de jure Kingdom. Once you get that Kingdom title then you should be able to manage the gavelkind well enough without having all your brothers become Petty Kings. Also I recommend keeping good ties with Hungary. And utilize river transport as much as possible.

You also need a ship stationed adjacent to the county you're looting. The number of ships dictates how much loot you can hold. Return it to one of your ports to unload the gold. You'll see the looting icon light up on the ship when you are looting, and it will de-activate when you're not looting the province anymore (you can also look at the province page to see your looting progress)
