Right, figured i'd try playing a republic, but running into one weird snag after another. First i couldn't marry anyone at all, didn't give me any reason, just a greyed out "Send" button, eventually i found someone. Now i can't educate my own heir. What gives? I'm playing as one of the lower rank patricians in Venice if that matters.

I seem to remember it costs a buttload of money to marry if you're a patrician.

Edit: Patricians are considered lower than barons for marriage purposes, and frequently have a hard time getting noble brides without paying a dowry. This bride price increases according to the rank of the lady's relatives. Relatives of kings and emperors are more expensive. Also, ladies of a patrician dynasty cannot marry matrilineally.

It's kind of strange, but I notice if you arrange a betrothal (with a girl 15 or under) you don't need to pay the bride price. Not sure exactly how that works.

Conquering Republics based on Titular titles is buggy as gently caress. Even if you manage to take all their holding, they (and their trade posts) will continue to exist for a while, possibly as an independent state, possibly as unlanded vassals. Conquering them can randomly end your game if you press a claim on the Titular Duchy the Republic is based on.

Yeah, i didn't understand anything that was going on in that game. Not allowed to marry. Not allowed to educate. Not allowed to take Venice. Could build trade posts tho.

Also, my dynasty has been a string of total assholes, despite my greatest efforts to have ONE ruler who everyone doesn't hate by educating them with decent people. The crippled guy was decent, though a kinslayer (got the trait removed by bribing the Pope). But jeez, apparently nature beats nurture, the latest one got excommunicated a while back (bribed the Pope to get it away). If the pope didn't love money the Catholic world would have wiped out my dick dynasty a while back - there's been at least one major revolt with each.

The first one was possessed by Satan (what a great way to start a game!), so it might explain something though.








Pretty sure my line is cursed for real. Thanks to few prestigious marriages, the family's genes are responsible of Europe having to deal with not one, not two, but three rulers nicknamed "the Cruel", all cousins.

Now that I'm a quadruple Emperor, my game has started going super slow. Bumping up the process priority to High made it bearable but God knows for how long. Also Carpathia seems really easy for an Emperor title.

What determines if I suffer unlanded son penalties? Is it if the primary title is Primogeniture or if any Kingdoms are Primo?

I got a crusade called against me for Sicily, I won it by besieging 3 of the HREs provinces in Italy. A couple of days after the crusade was done I called my own Jihad for Italy.


The next Jihad was much more hard to win, it lasted only some 16 months but I lost around 100,000 of the 196,000 troops I raised in that short time.

How the hell do crusades work? I got 70% of the work done for the crusade for the kingdom of Burgundy and the pope gave it to some random woman and I didn't get any land at all! What a jerk. Fortunately I have a claimant so I'm just going to reconquer it, but it's the principle of the thing.

I'm playing a woman ruler. Maybe that has something to do with it? Sucks that women can't lead troops and only get 25 piety/prestige when your troops conquer crusade target counties. Should have started as a Basque...

I control the British Isles, as well as parts of western France. My current problem is that my heir is a dude who was forced out and hosed off to go live in India. He's too far away for me to interact with, which is pretty inconvenient, as I would like to have him killed.

Is there any way to get him within interaction range by strategically taking land, or must I resign myself to hoping he dies before me? I'm not sure I can manage to take the province he's actually in.

Not really. If somebody hold a title to the target they get it. Otherwise, whoever contributes the most to the war gets it. Pretty sure the Pope's opinion is irrelevant. However, it is possible to get forced to hand Jerusalem in particular over to the Knights Templar. That might have been what is happening but I think that can only happen if the Kingdom of Jerusalem is specifically crusaded and won.

So if someone who joins the crusader has a claim to the target they get the entire thing? Like say there's a crusade for Andalusia and a Karling joins the crusade and he has a claim to a county or a duchy within Andalusia, he get's the entire thing and not just the county/duchy or does he have to have a claim to the kingdom?

Is it possible to check if anyone involved has a claim so I don't have to bother crusading as a woman? Is it just the leaders that appear on the war screen you have to worry about?

They need a claim on the Kingdom title.

If you hover your mouse over the crusade banner to the left of the main map, you should get a tooltip saying who gets all the spoils. It might change occasionally, however. And even if there's a claimant, it's still worth it to crusade just for the Crusader trait and loads of free Piety.

Neither of which are available to women who aren't leading troops. In my experience, I get 25 prestige and piety for the first county conquered and none after that. The crusader trait is only available if you're leading troops in the target area (and maybe capture something?)

Good call on the banner thing though - I'll check that next time us good Catholics go to war.

Tevery Best posted:

Possibly not if you're a woman: in vanilla the event assigning the Crusader trait only fires for men even if you somehow have a woman commanding troops along for the ride.

You'll probably get a decent amount of piety (since it mostly comes from sieges and, I think, increased piety income while crusading and so on and so forth) but you won't get the trait. If there's no claimant there's nothing stopping a female ruler from getting the land, but for recapturing European kingdoms there will usually be a claimant and then, as you've seen, things get complicated. I'm pretty sure it distinguishes between claimants based on how much they contribute to the Crusade, but I don't know if it counts their contribution score personally as rulers or the score of whichever court they are hanging out at, or if it weighs different claims differently, or...yeah.

Is there a good way to reorder my vassals' land without stacking a million tyrant points? As Hispania I have vassal kings of Navarra, Castille, Andalusia, Portugal, and Aragon. Portugal lost a 4-county duchy to Aragon, Andalusia lost 2 or 3 counties to duchies in northern Africa (who are my vassals) and Aragon, Aragon lost that de jure island duchy to Portugal after Portugal had it for 100 years without me noticing, and Castille lost one of its 3 counties to Andulasia. It's a drat mess. Is there a way to redistribute poo poo so that everyone is within their de jure borders?

Kingdom claim. Rather than things like Andalusia or Jerusalem, it mostly comes into play for Catholic territory that was conquered by Muslims and restoring it to the dynasty that previously held it. For example, if the Kingdom of Burgundy is conquered by a Muslim ruler, there's a chance that the Pope may call a Crusade for Burgundy, and regardless of who contributes what to the crusade, the kingdom will be returned to the Catholic ex-King of Burgundy or their descendant.

I know that if you tumble someone then make them a concubine then they get the "Child of a Concubine" rather than the bastard trait. I'd presume that marriage would work the same way.

What version are you running. I downloaded the Dev version but it keeps crapping out on mye after about 1085 from the 1066 starting point. Real bummer.

Got a query for the modders here. I downloaded and have been playing the Game of Thrones mod, but recently have been encountering a very strange bug. Whenever my daughter is up for a marraige she was betrothed into, the event window for choosing a dowry pops up. However, the only choice is "TARG", and it randomly marries her to some random vassal's kid, usually someone far too young to be married. I'm looking in the game files for the wedding dowry event, but I can't make heads or tails of it, my modding days were all with CK1 and VR1


This is what the event I THINK might have something to do with it looks like.

quote:

#Family of Bride select dowry
character_event = { #Scope to groom
id = wedding.101

is_triggered_only = yes
hide_window = yes

immediate = {
any_spouse = {
if = {
limit = { has_character_flag = dowry_target }
