I need to have faith, they haven't released a bad DLC for this game yet, but what the gently caress could they be doing?

Mister Adequate posted:First make sure you've selected matrilineal. Second, often people won't be willing to marry a woman who can't have children, so if she's older than about 45 the list will be a lot shorter (though still shouldn't be nobody, as long as it is indeed matrilineal). Yeah she was over 50 at the time and I tried Matrilinear. I remember hearing that Distance was a factor now with diplomacy, could that have something to do with it? Because she was the queen of Iceland so the capital was pretty far away from anything else. Still, doesn't make sense. I was having a ton of issues getting marriages for my children too.

Is there any way to get my kids back from a foreign court? As Halfdan Hvitserk I married a woman who was apparently a temple holder in the middle of goddam Russia, and my heir (who is now of age) and other children are in her court. I assume assassinating her would work, but what about divorce? Nobody is accepting my invitations because they all like her more than me and "no reason to move."

My favorite update of CapnAndy's Ireland LP dealt with a situation like this. His heir inherited a county in Greece and moved there with her husband and Genius kid, and at some point pissed off the Byzantine Emperor enough for him to blind her and castrate her husband, and on top of that their kid flipped to Orthodox. She refused to have the kid tutored in Ireland due to some "hostage in a foreign court" bullshit, so he found someone with a claim to the county and just loving invaded the Byzantine Empire. "Won't let my grandson come to visit? Not a problem, I'll come there myself. Me and 50,000 of my closest friends."

The latest Lux Invicta mod expanded the map to cover most of Africa, western China, and Greenland. It doesnt run TOO badly. But more provinces is probably the last thing CK2 needs I love Lux Invicta. Its the most fun ive had playing an overhaul paradox mod since Kaiserreich. But I just found a new 'feature': you can force two slaves to have sex and whip them into compliance if they fail to do so, complete with events saying 'you can gently caress my dead corpse'

The most annoying thing in the world is when your heir enrols in the Varangian guard and produces children while he's there. Every time this has happened to me and the heir inherits while in the guard he'll come back to his kingdom/empire, but his children won't and you can't invite them back until they come of age. The leader of the guard will refuse to let you educate them, but he won't assign a tutor himself, so they'll turn into complete idiots while they're there. I've had several geniuses end up with no stat above 9 and the worst intrigue/church education.  Is there any way at all to solve that in an ironman game?

It's almost certainly not a map expansion, which is what makes it exciting. I'd love something big for the slavs, personally, but anything that fleshes out existing systems would be great as well.

Along with an entirely new continent, the upcoming update of Sonendar will also include some new flavor events, including a major event chain for the Pirate cultures where rulers will be able to look for a map and go on a quest for buried treasure!! Pictured: New event for maimed pirates. Maimed pirates can get rid of Maimed and gain either an eyepatch, a hook, or a peg leg. If you manage to get all three by getting maimed enough, plus a talking parrot, you can become nicknamed "The Pirate"!

Oh, yeah, if you're in Iceland that's going to cut down your prospective spouses considerably. The diplomatic range thing doesn't have such a dramatic effect most of the time, but I can see it being the case here. I would guess you just got an unlucky set of circumstances here that all worked together; a relatively small pool to begin with because of the diplo range limits, being a woman, and being over 50. You should still have been able to force unlanded courtiers to marry you though, so I'm not certain that's the case.

Hahaha yessss best nickname  Is there a reliable way to get yourself killed if you're not depressed, in Elder Kings? I'm a good ruler but my genius son is amazing, and he's married to his genius sister (Console command should be changed to allow_targs), but I'm living for loving ever here.

I once made the mistake of "divorcing" my husband as a ~40 year old empress of north/east/central Europe, and the game literally wouldn't allow me to marry anyone. Clicking on the rings in my profile produced a completely empty list. Clicking arrange marriage on my own realm allowed me to choose myself and all my unmarried courtiers as one of the two parts, but if the first part was me the other list would be empty and if I chose any other male first I wouldn't appear on the second list. I can't remember exactly how old I was, but I know I was younger than 45 and I think I may have been just slightly younger than 40. Resetting the game didn't help and the game would taunt me with the unmarried ruler icon the entire reign. The worst part was that my ruler and the former husband both had pretty bad stewardship stats, so I thought I could fix that by marrying someone smarter, but I ended up having to give away a couple of really great provinces instead. I wish I had better self control, so I wouldn't have to play with ironman.

It's unsavory, but sanitized enough. If you get down into the really fiddly micromanagement you can do some incredibly creepy stuff.

This has to be a bug wherein some chunk of code mistakenly thinks your character is still married. You should *always* be able to force an unmarried, unlanded person in your court to marry you.

To tide you over, here is a fix that doesn't have the major update with the new continent, but does have a lot of essential bug fixes and general "life improvements". Sonendar 1.06.2.5 Let's look at some interesting characters to play as. Pepin the Bastard and King Drogo   An illegitimate bastard son of the previous King Francois of Bregnac, Pepin took the name of his illegitimate mother. An ambitious lad despite his base bloodline, Pepin managed to win the favor of his father and became an indispensable member of Francois' court. In thanks, King Francois bequeathed to him the title of Marquis of Lascaux upon his deathbed. When his useless, fat, gadabout son Drogo took the throne, he found that the Bastard of Lascaux had already expanded to become the biggest Marquis in the realm. Now Drogo sits upon an uncomfortable throne, threatened by the Pirate Queen Janessa and the Corsairs to the West, and anxiously trying to mollify the ambitions of Pepin Betit. The Mad Emperor of "Sonendar"  Jonas Clockwater was the last in a long line of Clockwaters, who had ruled the small county of Kyte by Pelican Bay since as long as anyone could remember. Jonas had always been a studious and scholarly man, and took to the study of old books and tomes in his old age. At one point during his studies, or perhaps due the onset of age, he was seized by a madness and saw in a dream that the mythical "Elders of the Abyss" had granted him their blessing. Believing himself to be divinely destined to rule all of Sonendar, Jonas proclaimed himself Duke of Kyte on the very next day, then King of Kyte and the Surrounding Lands on the following day, and Emperor of Sonendar on the third. Mad as he was, Jonas retained all of his intelligence and cunning wit, and had very quickly won over his relatives and subjects to the new Cult of the Elders of the Abyss. But surely a single province of madmen worshiping some kind of squid god cannot possibly do any harm to anyone? The Jarl Who Would Be King  Cnut of Dutland is a descendant of the Nords who, long ago, came to Sonendar atop their dragon-headed longships and seized the bogs and marshes of the Nordmark when the Reichsmarch was busily engaged in one of its endless civil wars. Nobody ever really bothered to reconquer them. Over the ages, the Nords softened and took up the faith of the Sword and Plow, settling down to farm and trade among the many cultures of Sonendar. Yet their lands were never reunited into a Kingdom, and the Nordmark remains to this day a morass of little fiefdoms vying for power. Cnut, a born military leader, believes that he may be able to bring back the old warring traditions and reunite the tribes -- before the Marchlanders come a-calling! The Stranger - Emund of The Claws  A collection of little fjords and broken glaciers sitting at the very edge of Nordhalla, the Duchy of the Claws is a brutal, windswept speck amidst a continent of equally dismal and frozen bays and harbors. The harsh, impassable terrain has made it difficult for the many tribes and clans of Nords to assemble into anything resembling a state. Yet Emund's family, pushed out from Sonendar by some ancient feud, has managed to arrive on this brutal continent, having been armed with better tools and weapons, the Faith of the Sword and Plow, and the cultural mores of the Continental Nords. A stranger and an outsider in a foreign land, how will he manage to expand his power amongst the many tribes of this impoverished land?
