I've been playing as India trying to get all the achievements, which basically requires a world conquest. In my downtime between holy wars I have been raiding a lot, much more than when I played a Norse actually. My question is What is in the goddamned chest? I've already gotten the chest from looting twice now, and both times it was just trinkets worth 10 gold. Googling lead me to believe there are other, possibly wacky outcomes, but I am not sure how I would get them. Does anyone with an understanding of the game know what else can happen, and what traits are needed to make the other things happen?

Hindus can, dunno about Buddhists (doubt it, the entire point of Hindus is they're the most war monger-y of the 3), just have to toggle the raid icon like you would Norse.

If it's the OG chest it either has 10 gold, 200 gold, nothing or quote:The key fits the lock, and you slowly open the chest. It contains nothing but dust! As you run your hand through it, strange lights begin to manifest in the room and you close your eyes when the first ghostly apparitions appear. You hear the screams of your guards, and when you finally open your eyes again, the spectres are gone... and your guards have been reduced to ash. (this is also nothing)

Could be trinkets (10 gold), gold (200 gold), parchments (nothing I think) or an Indiana Jones reference.

Knuc U Kinte posted:I have painted half of Europe with my trade empire and 2 original patricians have never built a post despite plenty of cheap real estate in my realm. Like I said, they need to get a reasonable income flow before they start setting up trade posts - the AI isn't usually too bright about prioritizing their palace to provide more taxes and if they're not the Doge and don't conquer territories for themselves or benefit from vassal taxes, they've only got a small drip of income to build trade posts with. If you really want to see them build a trade post, try giving them a few gifts for investment capital. That said, the guys who started behind in the race for trade posts are probably always going to be one step behind the guys who managed to carve our a trade realm early on, due to how trade zones work.

Unfortunately, the repository is rather large, so I won't be offering a public git clone url. lux-invicta-483f04153c52e77f7bf6203ff97236fc9fbf58ba.zip is the furthest I've tested, the commit immediately after that is broken, but there's 8 after that. lux-invicta-master.zip is the latest, and will continue to be so as I update the mirror. I may be the only one that cares, but lux-invicta-linux-port.tar.xz contains enough file path fixes to allow the mod to work on Linux. EDIT: All the links above are to versions which use the new map. The last version before the map change is lux-invicta-ed8db4f3f26958e1595500ae0d30ab076a13ba2f.zip if you have old games you want to finish. EDIT2: Sorry folks, my dinky server can't handle the size of the assets recently added to Lux Invicta, I'll have to sort something else out.

Man, being Jewish is hard. I finally consolidated a rather vast territory in the steppes and fought my way through the Muslim clowncar, and the Byzantine Empire, and took Jerusalem. I created Israel and restored the Kohen Gadol, and it's all pretty hunky-dory. However, because it was such a hard start, my progress was so slow that by the time I'd finished all this, the Mongols came a-knocking. They invaded me and took most of my original holdings in Khazaria. Then, seeing my weakened state, the Sunni Caliphate declared a Jihad for Jerusalem!!

But couple their ability to march around 50-60k unit doomstacks with how swole horse archers are, and the difficulty of matching them numerically due to supply limits... What a loving hassle.

Also, the Ilkhanate was favored by the RNG this time, and spawned with like 160K troops. At my peak, I was able to raise a maximum of about 50k levies, plus 16k of my retinues, and had about 7000 gold in the bank so I could add about 30k more mercenaries. Still not enough.  Now I wonder what my options are? Should I make some kind of crazed beeline for the islands of Greece? The Byzantines got their teeth kicked in by the Muslims, so they're fairly weak. I bet I could take a bunch of stuff from them if I was aggressive. But going too far West means I'd bump up against the clusterfuck that is Catholic Europe...

If you're in danger of losing your last holding, then yes take over an island. Otherwise, just hope they decide to go around you while there is a truce.

Well, as I said earlier, my realm consists primarily of the lands I took as I beelined for the Holy Land, and now I'm currently stuck between the Sunni Caliph, who's taken over Egypt, Anatolia, and a good deal of the Arabian peninsula, and the Mongols who've eaten up most of my realm in the Steppes. I am essentially a big fat vulnerable blob, with nowhere else to go. I guess I'll just reload from an autosave a year or two ago and flee to the Mediterranean! It'd be really sad to lose Jerusalem, though. The Jews are forced to wander again, it seems.

Alright, someone help me figure out how this happened. By 1070 the Pope was a vassal of the HRE. But in ~1140 the Kaiser decided having one vassal Pope wasn't enough, and he established an Anti-Pope. I dunno, it just seems wrong.

Ok, ed8db4f3f26958e1595500ae0d30ab076a13ba2f.zip is the last version before the map change. 483f04153c52e77f7bf6203ff97236fc9fbf58ba.zip is the latest I've tested, the commit immediately after it broke, but there's been 8 others. master.zip will always be the most recent version, I expect to update this daily. linux-port.zip includes my changes to make it work on Linux, though I may be the only one that cares about this branch.

I'm new to this game and having some problems, like all new players no doubt. I've fabricated a claim on someone and crushed their armies. Then I sieged their holdings and killed everyone. But I still don't seem to have won. I don't get the option to enforce demands, and I don't see how I can take the title. My army is just sitting in their territory passing the time. What am I missing?

Did you actually take the land? does it have the cross bars meaning you've taken it? and you should be able to see whether the person is willing to accept peace in the diplomacy screen with them.

OrthoTrot posted:I'm new to this game and having some problems, like all new players no doubt. Each province has multiple holdings (which are like cities within the province). You probably just took the first one from each province, that's why you havent won. Click on a province and bellow the info box you can see each other holding its there. Crossed bars means you have taken all the holdings, if you cant see it, it means there are still more holdings to siege.

Ah, that might be it - they keep calling in allies on other continents who don't actually come over so I can't fight them. My warscore is already 100 so I can't increase it by occupying the territory any further. But the only option I get for making peace is to surrender.

SynthOrange posted:"Guuuuuys do you really have to siege the castle first? There's towns and churches right over there!" Only a complete loving idiot leaves a manned fortification intact while he attacks softer targets. The real unrealism in CK2 is armies besieging cities and temples before taking all castles in the county.

The only situation I can think of where you can't enforce demands at 100% warscore is when you are fighting as an ally in someone else's war. Otherwise it must be a bug.

Check to see if the guy is at war with anyone else - if another combatant has taken any holdings in the disputed county you may not be able to enforce demands. e; this happened to me when I was waging a holy war against Muslims while a vassal duke was waging the same holy war for the same land - he had taken part of the territory so when I sued for peace I didn't get the counties he had taken.

If you beat all of their armies, they'll usually give up before it reaches 100%. I think it's based on relative army strength, so just occupying their territory isn't as effective if he still has an army running around.

Captain Oblivious posted:Hate to sound like a broken record but I gotta ask again: Is there some secret to getting the depose antipope CB to show up? The HRE has had one for like 300 years now and the game will not let me use that CB on him, it just isn't there no matter how often I check. There seems to be a bug with this CB. The HRE had an anti-pope for over 300 years before the CB appeared for me, right after the HRE had a succession so try looking for it right after the emperor dies.
