Shimrra Jamaane posted:Oh FFS Paradox, are they really going to introduce a vassal cap/limit like people on their forums are saying? Wouldn't that make the gameplay mechanics for the ERE even more crazy ahistorical than usual? And hell, I can't even imagine how the HRE would work. The mechanic is related to crown law and HRE had very autonomous vassals. Presumably this mechanic would simply result in a more realistic HRE with low crown laws.

Actually a vassal cap sounds interesting to me. Might give people a reason to make vassal kings.

Not to get all Byzantine obsessive but you already need to suspend your disbelief a bit regarding how the gameplay mechanics work since the ERE didn't work as a feudal system like the rest of Europe. Forcing the player to consolidate things into fewer powerful kingdom vassals makes it even stranger.

Much of Europe didn't work like the feudal system of France, but we accept that as well to have a somewhat workable gameplay.

I would hope that the vassal limit just means no more "0 dukes" strategies in kingdoms and makes creating some of the smaller kingdoms in empires a good strategy. Britannia with the kingdom of wales as your sole king level vassal, and full dukes everywhere kind of thing.

Just a quick question. What would you consider a good alternative to the grand tournament decision that feudal lords get for the heads of republics?

Can I have some strategy/game advice? So, this happened (It's an older picture but not much has changed in like 100 years)  Every time I go and either press any de jure claims I have or fabricate a claim, England steamrolls me and I'm kind of stuck. Even if I hire mercenaries and call in my allies it's still not enough when England shows up with 30,000 levies and kicks my rear end. What the hell can I do to get England out of my backyard? I can't figure out a strategy that works.

Even though they might have solidified their position over the years, if you can just maneuver the right heir onto the throne by stabbing everybody else (looking at Dwarf females, Kinslayers, Lunatics, the works), you should be able to engineer enough rebellions to somehow wrest that crown out of the personal union.

cosmosisjones posted:Just a quick question. What would you consider a good alternative to the grand tournament decision that feudal lords get for the heads of republics? A football tournament? Medieval football matches had dozens of players on each side and sometimes used entire towns as their pitch. I know there are some cities in Italy which still keep the tradition and play an annual match in period costume. The actual patricians wouldn't be playing, but you could fire events for them like "the team from your family has won the competition" which grant a little prestige. You could tie in events where feuding families might lead to their games descending into mob violence, the clergy being angry that the church balcony was used as a goal, etc.

This. Forget about a 1-on-1 war with a united England, make them blow up in their own little rebellion first. Even if Andalusia is on the loyalist side, a good rebellion should tie up enough manpower that you can start chipping away at the English realm. Also, ally with France or Scotland or someone.

I have a lot of young siblings I have to marry off and I've been making a lot of alliances with Ireland. I'm not very good at the stabbing. Part yet - I have trouble finding "loopholes". But, I have a lot of sisters so I guess I can marry some off to some claimants and stab the rest!

What happens if I press a claim on a kingdom that's undergoing a rebellion? One of my vassals has a claim on the kingdom of Cumania (I'm an emperor), and about half its land area is "Cumania" while the other half is "Cumanian Revolt". Will I end up just getting the "Cumania" half, or will I inherit a civil war?

Then depending on what kind of civil war it is different thinks may happen. I think that if the war is a war against the tyranny of the liege the other half will get independent. If the war is for a claim to the crown then your vassal will inherit the war and if he wins he will gain the other half of Cumania. Not 100% sure though, weird things may happen.

Aight, I'll check what kind of war it is and the warscore this evening. It's a weak claim, and offhand I'm not sure why I'm able to press the weak claim in this case. Could it be because of the revolt?

Probably. Weak claims can be pressed if its a regency, female ruler or the title is being contested already, if I remember the tooltip correctly.

Once you declare war with a weak claim, you're good. Your war won't end if the revolt ends. Also, your claim will become inheritable (on case you have to white peace out).

Does a title have to be subject to an actual Dispute Succession CB for a weak claim to be pressable or is it just any civil war involving the title? I've never been totally clear on that.

Any war for the title. Disputed succession, adventurer war, invasions. I think even crusades/jihads let you press a weak claim.

Yeah a cool thing to do if you have a weak claimant married into your dynasty (so that they have children of your dynasty- like if you have a daughter matrilinearly married to some chump with some nice claims) is to press their claim, win a battle or a siege, then immediately white peace out. Then their claim will be inherited by their kid of your dynasty, and you can press the kid's claim and they will become your vassal.

You really want a nice, comfortable buffer of a few hundred points of respect. Remember, if the AI WAS spending money on the elections, then their respect would just be plain higher - no "We're lower but we still won!" dickery required.
