Also in some wars even if you have 100% war score they won't accept peace if they control any of your holdings.

Apologies since this has probably been asked, but hey, 637 pages... Is there a way, or mod perhaps, to go back to the old map? I'm playing for the first time in 6 or 10 months and this current version is significantly slower than it was before. I assume the map and massive amount of extra characters is a large cause of that. I just want to pillage some brits, I don't need all this indian crap

Any suggestions for a good starting location/character for a succession game played with folks with a variety of skill levels? Looking to start in 867 and then export to EU4 in 1444.

game should let you pick what you siege imo, so you can go straight for the bishopric as a viking. Jack up the attrition from multiple hostile castles to compensate of course.

So, after several attempts at getting the 1066 Karlings in a nice mega-duke position (my father in law the duke of Aquitaine kept getting the Kingdom which I didn't want), can anyone who's done this before tell me how you went about it. My first instinct is to declare independence and then swear fealty to the HRE and use their elective succession to get the throne after culture switching to German...my other idea is to scratch that plan completely and take over France and Aquitaine, request an invasion of the HRE and do things the old fashioned way. The only problem with that idea is that the Emperor has a monopoly on cardinals.

Captain Oblivious posted:The Mongols are just the worst. It would be one thing if they had to actually, ya know, mind attrition. 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... After playing this game so long, I've grown tired of that bullshit. I managed to basically do the same as Kahzaria (except I left the Byzantium Empire alone mostly) and beat the Il Khanate, but I couldn't do it with the Mongols because they spawned at the rear end end of my Empire. I lost Turkestan the first time. After assassinating their leader, replacing him with a two year old and fermenting revolts for fifteen or so years, not one single one popped. Meanwhile, that area has been Jewish for over a century. If I was playing them, I'd get peasant revolts out the rear end. Like I did when I first conquered Tengri holdings. They never seemed to stop. Next, they were going for Cumania, the entirety of it (gotta love that kingdom CB). I couldn't get all my troops across the desert because attrition, meanwhile they're free to stack 70k+ on an area that has about 10k supply for six months and decimate my units. The defense of that they're a steppe people doesn't work when I'm loving one myself and I've got to deal with attrition. So gently caress it. I just de-spawn all of their cheating bullshit. I probably could just save and reload a few times, but it isn't worth it. I don't find the Mongols all that interesting and I've always hated the way hordes function to begin with.

I've done boat bombs and the like and beat them when I was playing as Byzantium and Russia and Egypt. They were never fun for me and always more of a bullshit thing I had to deal with if I was remotely in the area. Or in one case, when I was Scandinavia and they had conquered up to and beyond Germany. Since I don't find dealing with them fun in any aspect and I've beaten them (and been beaten by them) before, it is usually much more cathartic for me to eliminate them from the game altogether than spend time doing something I don't enjoy.

Use the tribal invasion CB on the pope in Rome and the Mongols won't ever spawn. Tribal Invasions destroy titles in the land you conquer, which means you can destroy the Pope. The scripting for the Mongols turning up needs to be attached to a character, and in normal play there's always a Pope, even unlanded, so the Pope is the go-to guy for these kinds of event. I think he's also used for the Jomsvikings. But since there's no Pope, the Mongols event can't fire, so they never arrive. Since the Timurids spawn from a Mongol holding, if there are no Mongols by the time he is supposed to appear, there won't be a secondary invasion either.

Edison was a dick posted:Use the tribal invasion CB on the pope in Rome and the Mongols won't ever spawn. Ah, I didn't know that. I'm going to try that. I usually just de-spawn them if I don't feel like dealing with them or if they threaten to take the entire map and eliminate interesting AI empires (like the Muslim Empire of Rus).

I was wondering if there is something I can do about save game loading issues. I dont know if its a newer thing (but I didnt notice it so much before recently). Im playing A Game of Thrones mod quite a bit, and it is starting to take forever to load saves and possibly freeze up. Ive heard this can be caused from resigning and reloading, which I dont really do. I was wondering if there is any other reason, ie the new patch that could cause this. Id hate to scrap my game because everything I get around 30 years past the start date my saves wont load. Edit: I think I just busted my save file somehow, but it was all after a certain point (and with any saves after) that they just wont load. I might just go back some years, or give up and start a new game just incase. If anyone has experienced this Id appreciate some info, I dont wanna be playing it if its common to that mod.

Holy hell is Lux Invicta fun. I started out as Murchad ua Bruain (funny old thing ) and thanks to being Druidic, I was able to holy war the gently caress out of all the Christian and Norse dukes. He's now Emperor Murchad 'The Implacable' of the Celtic Empire, spanning Ireland, Wales, Cornwall, Devon and Brittany.

I independently followed a similar path to you except I joined the HRE as mega duke of all of Aquitaine + some juicy french stuff (Champagne/Valois and some other poo poo), usurped Aquitaine and am sitting around as a mega king. I don't actually control any German lands so I can't get in on the election, but the game keeps freezing and I can't progress. What was the HRE like when you first became their vassal? They're already on high CA and I had a hard enough time loving with France and they never got passed medium.

They're already on high CA and I had a hard enough time loving with France and they never got passed medium. Mine was on High when I started loving with them in update 15. I had all of de jure France minus Normandy and about a third of Aquitaine, a good bit of which I gained while inside the HRE, since only Absolute can stop me from declaring war on outside targets. loving with the HRE isn't all that hard if you can land one decisive blow. The basic idea is as follows: - Banish the Bishop of Cluny for loadsamoney. - Hire mercs to bring you up to the level of the HRE. Who cares if you're bleeding money. - Revolt to lower CA. - Beat the gently caress out of the imperial levies. Make sure their big stacks are wiped the hell out. - This should give you plenty of warscore and at the same time make other factions feel good about their chances. - While you're winning your revolt, more revolts, mostly for claimants, should spring up. - Every time a claimant faction succeeds, CA gets lowered, the Emperor gets less levies, more people feel good about their chances, and the cycle continues until you hit Autonomous Vassals. You can potentially help along yourself if a new guy becomes Emperor and resets your truce.

Nonono you guys, this is how you do the Karling challenge: - Your wife will inherit a county as long as your father in law dies without sons. Pray that this happens. - Find a nice claimant on some Irish counties, and go incorporate them into France. - Break free just before the possessed king of France turns Muslim and gets his rear end crusaded. - By now, you should be holding northern France (known as "Ireland"), the middle being Jerusalem, held by a returning crusader somehow and the south being part of England. - Put three successive wives on the throne of Byzantium during gigantic Byzantine revolts. Watch two of them come home landless and sans eyes before it sticks. - Press your son's claim on Norway for shits and giggles. Have fun fighting the Mongols in one end of your realm and Norwegian separatists in the other, while juggling the different inheritance systems of two kingdoms and an empire.

It has something to do with the game speed. If I mash + like I normally do it crashes, but if I build up speed and sit on 4 for a bit it's fine. As for my attempt at the Karling challenge, I was looking at the insanely buff HRE and wondering how I could ever hope to dent it...then the old Kaiser dies and everything explodes with my guy laughing maniacally in the middle of is all.

Why can't I start a faction to institute elective monarchy? I basically combo'd the HRE from high to autonomous by outnumbering them 5:1, but there aren't any factions available now. Is it because I aren't a dejure vassal? I don't really mind because my heir is betrothed to a girl with an inheritable claim to the whole she-bang, but I still don't wanna wait 2 generations.
