James The 1st posted:What traits make good tutors? Positive traits. Stay away from Proud, Craven, Cruel, etc. The education outcome is determined when you assign the tutor so if you want to cheat you can give your babby to someone with good traits and a bad education then before they turn 16 give them to someone with a 4-pip education. I think a 4-pip tutor has a 50% chance of giving a 4-pip education and a 30% chance of giving a 3-pip education.

So... with regards to After the End- is there anywhere you guys recorded your lore? There's a bunch of little things that have obviously had some thought go into them. I'm particularly curious as to what the Americanists... are. Or what the deal with the Ursulines is. Also, Occultists in New England makes sense. Lovecraft and all. But what are they also doing in the Ohio River area? Anyway, having a blast. Migonids formed Massachusetts by quickly conquering the Nogads, but while I was doing that the Theurgy of the Green Mountains swept through New Hampshire and southern Maine, to accrue quite a good bit of power, and block any further advance. The independant states of Northern Maine quickly allied under the fairly powerful state of Aroostook, creating three power blocks in New England not five years into the game. I think I'll have to strike at Connecticut to make any further progress.

This is pretty aggravating because as far as I know there's no way to change your education trait from the console.

LordGugs posted:This mod rules! For the first, that's in the readme but really should've been mentioned in the post announcing the beta - you need the African Portraits DLC to avoid the invisibility problem. If you can't get that then just go to open the mod's "interface" folder and remove "portraits_african.gfx". The second one I'm almost inclined to call a feature. :V Eiba posted:So... with regards to After the End- is there anywhere you guys recorded your lore?

We haven't sat down and written all the lore out anywhere, no, though I might talk to Of about something like that. The Americanists are a bit like the Columbians from Bioshock Infinite stuck in a blender with Fox News, while the Ursulines, if I'm not mistaken, come from the actual religious institution.

There's a small chance for the education to just get completely thrown out the window and the kid gets a random education trait in vanilla already. Guess it represents the child rebelling against the tutor and doing what it wants.

I know there are events that boost your martial education, I've had 3-pip emperors get an event upgrading them to 4 pips saying experience has improved their martial education after a victory.

You can still play as some Texas counties along the coast/rio grande valley. King Sam Houston IV has finally united Texas (under the Rio Grande kingdom). Is there a Texas empire in yet? I kinda forgot how empires work, it has been awhile since I actually formed one in CK2. Also the Minnesota Vikings have conquered all the way down to the Colombian Confederacy, the entire midwest and Appalachia is Norse.

I'll be beating up on Manhattan, but honestly, I'm looking forward to loving up the Redcoats or dying in the attempt. Other observations: I beat the Green Mountain theocracy, and formed New England... but also formed the titular Kingdom of Vermont. What is this and why is that possible? Can I reform Occultism, or am I stuck with gavelkind forever? Raiding Manhattan alone can net you close to a thousand gold. It is immensely satisfying to send out wave after wave of Bostonian raiders to suck the life out of New York City.

You change education trait the same way you add/remove any trait. remove_trait naive_appeaser and add_trait brilliant_strategist etc. the only problem is that some of the traits have a different name in the files like martial_cleric. Remove_trait was admittedly only added in a relatively recent patch though. e; really beaten. But yeah, there are several traits that have a different name in the files like fair. It happens very often in mods. Kainser fucked around with this message at 04:34 on Aug 12, 2014 |

Brotato Broth posted:On a side note, how do you deal with decadence once you've gotten sufficiently large enough and there's no easy targets to holy war against? Don't ever let your dynasty get outside of your capital. I have a game as the Hashimids, I keep having kids until I have a couple of good ones. Set up the best one's marriages and land him. Don't let the other ones get married and don't land them. If your chosen heir dies, you've got backups. If one of them goes decadent, you can try to stop it or worst eat the tyrant malus to imprison him easily. I've never faced decadence above 5% and that was usually just because I wasn't paying attention. You'll end up with a bunch of well trained courtiers suitable for jobs and leading armies, they won't like you but if you're breeding geniuses with your three genius wives along with all the other positive traits then it shouldn't be a problem. Once you start landing your relatives then you're screwed. You can't play like Christians... keep your family close to hand and don't let them breed.

So my game continuing from the clusterfuck of succession spawned from Haldars loins has in fact not yet died, I even managed o keep the whole empire together with out a single revolt. Halders youngest son and heir, Gairr is a pathetic effeminate failure compared to his father, having only 11 children by age 53, one of which was born of his eldest son's wife without his knowledge, a pair of twins by the queen of England, and one by a pagan lady that turned out to be his Niece. If all goes according to plan his "Grandson" will be his heir. The first trait this boy picked up from Gairr during education was lustful.  In trying to arrange marriages for my daughters I discovered that the suggested marriages list is now entirely dynasty members top of the list being my Nephew the king of Ireland, bottom of the list being a 15 year old inbreed, clubfooted, hunched back, imbecile boy with a lisp. Odin save my Family.  Any none Dynasty marriages no longer grant me Alliances because my dynasty has already married into every pagan dynasty of note. I need to capture more Christian Women

Well, one bug for the Post-Apoc America mod, if you can call it that, I found occurred when I took a County that had an embarked army with the ships in port. The ships just went out into the adjacent sea area and sat there, with the army still embarked. Made taking West Michigan easy, though. Might be a core CK2 problem though.

Let me tell you of the Lion Upnorth. So I started as Arnsbjorg, High Chieftess of Upnorth, because hey, badass viking lady. Within a year of starting, she had became known as Arnsbjorg the Lion. Hell yes.  Both of her kids she had while out at war (not the same war, but still), which also seemed pretty .Decades and a kingdom formed by the sword later, she is still leading troops in her late 60s. However, I do not seem to be able to reform the Norse Faith despite my 3 holy sites and moral authority somewhere in the high 60s or so. Does the mod change the requirements for that? I wanted to form an Absolute Enatic Fylkirate and make an empire of lady vikings. Even if I cannot do that, I am going to see if I can form the Nordic Empire before she finally dies.

I wish there were alternate kingdoms/empires available for characters uneligible to make the HRE or Jerusalem. I gave myself both with the console because it seems dumb to declare myself king of everything I control except one little bullshit corner that means a lot to a bunch of monotheists I have spent the last few centuries murdering. And it seems extra dumb that I wouldn't take some kind of Emperor title after destroying the Holy Roman Empire to signify my victory and just to cover the area, particularly when I have declared myself Emperor of all kinds of other random poo poo. Would probably be simple to mod in, I might give it a shot later.

It's going to be glorious if it ever kicks off. Most of France is still Catholic and there's plenty of Karlings kicking around. My heir will inherit a claim to the one-province Kingdom of Italy somewhere in the Pyrenees so when the Caliphate implodes due to decadent idiots I will be ready.

So the Aztecs showed up. I hired 40k mercenaries and 35k Holy Orders, and combined with my retuine and personal levy I was able to get about 88k soldiers. For some reason almost the entire invasion force went to go gently caress with the muslim clown car in Morocco and lost about half their soldiers. I managed to bait the Scottish invasion into attacking a tiny army on mountainous terrain, then moved in my 80k doomstack and had my 25 martial ruler with two holy order grand masters beat the poo poo out of them. The AI is really bad at armies sometimes.
