Broken Cog posted:Speaking of Crown laws, where do people like to keep them? I've been running with Medium Crown Authority as it seems you get most of the benefits from having that, and the vassal opinion penalty is manageable. Medium crown authority is the best long term crown law. High can sometimes be useful to switch to primogeniture or to prevent somebody inheriting a significant chunk of your realm though.

What if you own a barony but one of your vassals owns the county it's in? Does he take a cut of the taxes from it?

Allyn posted:You get all the money but he'll be annoyed at you for holding some of his de jure territory Yeah, holding baronies in foreign realms is a really fantastic way to guarantee a war at some point in the future, which is why Venice 1066 can be a bit of a kick in the pants (Venice starts with its patricians holding two cities in Croatia, a DoW will come within the first 5 years). My preferred strategies are to either A) immediately surrender to avoid your trade posts losing profitability from sieges, or B) start as one of said patricians, take a loan from the Jews, and hire enough mercs to dent Croatia's army so the Doge can finish the job. Bono Dandolo seems like a solid start if you can put up with a long-rear end wait to actually do anything. He's young enough at the start that with enough time, the fact that he's player controlled should guarantee him an election win, assuming he doesn't die unexpectedly. And, you're also part of the house that would produce Venice's most famous Doge, which is cool.

Playing the long game (aka pulling a Doran). I'm King of Ireland and I have my genius heir daughter matrilineally betrothed to the 4th in line for the French throne. Now to wait 12 years until they come of age and marry and then start offing everyone ahead of him. I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this, but if I were to move my plans ahead and murder people ahead of my heir's betrothed before they were married, once he's 3rd or above in the line of succession, come marriage time, it would be broken wouldn't it since he'd be "important" at that point, right?

You can't grant titles to castrated characters (or any trait which carries the line "cannot_inherit = yes"), and I guess I conflated that with celibate.

Is it ever possible for a Celibate character to renounce their celebacy? Unlike castration it is an ongoing voluntary decision. Kind of weird if no one ever slips up.

It's not as big a fertility hit as castration is, so I think there's still a (very slight) chance that a celibate character can have a kid, but I can't say for sure.

Parallax Scroll posted:What are the conditions for being able to declare a great holy war? I took the kingdom of Greece with one with my previous character, but haven't seen it as an option since. A major difference is that a holy war targets a duchy. A great holy war targets an entire kingdom. A Fylkir only gets one great holy war in his life. That's why you can't declare another. You'll be able to with your next Fylkir. Otherwise, I don't know if it's still this way, but in the past you couldn't holy war other pagan religions. I think they mean to change that.

I'm still not sure why I can't declare a GHW with my new character, but I'll play it out. How do you summon vassal levies in a specific county? I can see "raise levy" in the right-click menu for holdings, but usually it's grayed out.

You can summon vassal levies by using the provincial "raise levies" button, it's the one in the middle. You might have another cooldown or something on your great holy wars, I want to say you can only declare one on a character, so if you're trying to attack the byzantines for anatolia or something it won't work until the emperor dies (assuming it's the same one you nabbed greece from)

I think. And a question of my own, what kingdoms still have special creation requirements? I know Jerusalem still requires being christian but are there any others with a religion requirement? I'm playing as norse, nearing the requirements to create the roman empire and waiting to reform until after because I'd lose the Fylkirate by going orthodox. Going to create Jerusalem at the same time but wondering if there are other kingdoms out there that are going to screw up my plans.

There doesn't appear to be a penalty for having more than two like their is for duchies. Ha! That explains why the AI always tanks my empires. I like to turn on observe and go to sleep when I'm done for the night to see what the map looks like the next day and invariably my empire has turned into a hilarious mess of it's various kingdoms, usually all over the loving place. I guess the AI emperor creates every king level title he can for the prestige hit and then hands them out to every cousin who compliments their robe or whatever.

Interesting idea, but since half your wife's stats get added to yours, you'd be playing with a significant handicap. Edit: though you could just marry a really old person (+40), so that might actually work.

The game will try to gently caress you over by having that one son fall in love/run off as soon as he's grown up. Also the dude could die and then you're sorta hosed.

Playing with Gavelkind really is not that hard. I need to fall asleep but I can write a detailed run-down of how to manage gavelkind as an unreformed pagan tomorrow if people want to see one. The only requirement is that you are continuously expanding, and if you are continuously expanding you should be able to reform your religion eventually. I built this empire on Gavelkind (still running Gavelkind when this screenshot was taken).  My personal demesne, passed down to each primary heir, was the county of and a barony in Lithuania plus 5 other counties (the entire Duchy of Courland and entire Duchy of Samogitia). Eventually once my Legalism was higher I took the county of Sjaelland from Denmark to vomit even more cash into my treasury. edit: also lookit dat fukken Georgia.

Also I have no idea if this is a bug or not: When you mouseover a country, where does your popup info window appear? Mine just hovers over the minimap, unless I'm mousing over an army then it just jumps back under my cursor. Doesnt seem right and is quite annoying.

In vanilla it's one per religious head (or at least it currently is, I just checked the files). CK2+ has it on a very long timer (40-50 years IIRC, it's long enough that I actually reduced it to 30-35 on my own files).

So I was looking through the history tab of the kingdom of Rus admiring all the dumb ways my characters had died. I came on one with a red skull. When I clicked on the red skull I got a crash to desktop. I thought this was fixed at some point. If it helps i'm on version 2.1.6 not using any betas.

Never underestimate the game's desire to gently caress your best laid plans over: I had a 36 year old wife who I was convinced after 20 years of marriage was infertile, so I grabbed a bunch of concubines, set them aside once I had a son, and then my now 39 year old wife instantly became pregnant and had a second son.  My spinster sister of 41 years of age also had a bastard daughter.

While the AI won't marry women over 40 and pregnancy from events is also stopped at 40 as well, women aren't actually infertile until 45.
