Luigi Thirty posted:Nah, that's played out. The plains Indians should be like the Byzantines with higher technology, different titles for everything than the eastern countries, and tier 6 walls somewhere. It should be Cascadia that's the Byzantium analog. Large and powerful, with an organized religion centered around the water, mountains, and forests, with some grand old cities (Say, Victoria as the capital, Oak Harbor, and Bellingham) and with great fortifications along the Rockies and a few highly prestigious but constantly threatened colonies in Montana and Alberta for farming and herding bison and suchlike. Those provinces are under constant threat, so governors of places like Gallatin Valley have considerable resources in order to protect them. Success in defense carries prestige, and combined with their existing strength, you end up with a lot of dukes out there with their sights set on the crown and the means to press their claim.

Still, it seems like that would be very hard to implement fairly for the AI because humans release kingdoms for nicer borders, or because they don't want the hassle of dealing with a distant holding surrounded by enemies. Not sure how the AI would come to that decision.

The human would be given a list of relatives to pick from before they were allowed to unpause.

Okay, how in god's name do I stop the big purple blob? I've been playing as Duke of Pereyaslavl in the old gods start and it's now ~1150. Hungary just got crusaded into the ground by all of western Europe, and the Byzantines have been eating my land with holy wars on truce cooldown (I used to have all of Wallachia - but not anymore!). I'm right on the border between both flavors of Christianity and my reformed Tengri bretheren to the east, but it's absolutely impossible to stop the Byzantines militarily and stabbing them is both difficult and accomplishes little except resetting their truce timers. I think that I'm screwed unless I somehow figure out how to convert before getting holy warred into oblivion. Also, Spain has gone batshit insane with inheritance this game:

If it's anything like how I did it? Step one: Marry a close relative of the reigning king. Step two: Wait until you have at least two sons. Step three: Assassinate the reigning king if it'll lead to a regency. Step four: Press your wife's claim. Step five: Help her put down the inevitable revolts. Step six: Designate one of your sons your heir. Step seven: Die. Step eight: Make sure your mother dies somehow if she hasn't already. Step nine: Press your claim against your brother. Step ten: Put down the inevitable revolts. And you're done! For the AI to do it, though, probably pretty impressive luck that led to the same result minus assassinations.

Well, that was fun.  Rest of the world officially has No Chance in Hell. EDIT: Oh, right, feedback. As far as I can tell, the core you've got set up is pretty much rock solid. It crashed a few times and had some bugs happen, but they were all crashes and bugs I experience in vanilla, so that's not on the mod. Otherwise, I noticed no problems beyond one holding in one of the provinces I hold (can't remember) starting with a lower case letter, but at that point I'm really reaching. That, and putting one of the Americanist holy sites in St. Louis might not be one of the wisest ideas, considering it's across the map and holding it as an Americanist nation is pretty much not going to happen beyond a WC. Is there a reason it's a holy site? TheMcD fucked around with this message at 22:48 on Aug 22, 2014 |

Same thing happened in one of my recent games as well (with no interference from me). Italy was also briefly a Theocracy when a deposed king (who had since become Prince-Bishop of Agen) reclaimed the throne. Also, ERE has been blobbing up in my recent 867 starts. Seems to have gotten worse since the 2.1.6 patch.

In one of the new patches is there a huge malus to the opinion bonus you get from sending people gifts if you're in a regency? Old ruler died, leaving a 7 year old on the throne, and unless a character was greedy the most positive opinion I'd get from gifting was 5-6 points, going up to about 30 for greedy characters. Bug or working as intended?

Yeah, the child king had 11 in personal diplomacy, going up to about 20 something for state diplo, and I've had plenty of adult rulers who have worse diplomacy than that who get decent positive opinions from sending gifts? It's never happened to me before, but I haven't played the game in a few months.

So bonuses from bribes and how big your demesne can be during the regency are down to whoever you end up with and not you.

Also on this mod, are there any chances that a few Islamic dynasties can be added? I know that Islam is a tiny religion in America today (something like 1.2% of the population), but if I'm mistaken, there a few areas of the country where there's some very large communities ( I think around Detroit is one). Emirates would be cool to see post-apocalypse, just sayin'.

Dearborn is 40% Arab-American or thereabouts, but that includes Chaldeans and Syriacs and the like, so the Arab Muslim population is smaller. I'm also reluctant to add in Islam because single-province religions get steamrolled.

In After the End, how does one declare wars to settle personal claims set up by Chancellors? I've currently got a female ruler (if it matters) and I've got the claim, pissing off the current holder, but I can't declare war on him.
