Regarding talk of no crusades. From a 1066 start it's 1106 now. The Levant is still in Muslim hands, pretty sure Byz hasn't gone down there at all.

My current game is on 1077 and no crusades yet too. Jerusalen currently belongs to the byzantines and Asturias have recovered half of Iberia, the rest of it is still muslim.

When a plot I've concocted is revealed I will often make a point of tracking down that person after it succeeds and assassinating them. I think it stands as a lesson to all those who would defy my power.

By plot? Isn't that a mobius strip of murder?

Looking at the wiki it seems like the trigger year should be around 1090. This is the second time it's happened to me while doing a King Poland start so i'm starting to think Piast is cursed

I just had someone very upset with my arbitrary nature. They noticed I give only a few months sentences to women, while men often get their hands chopped off. I would think the imprisoned woman would prefer I didn't chop off her hands, but no, she was displeased. :psyduck:

I really don't understand why you'd be upset you didn't have your hands chopped off!

I mean, maybe they're thinking, "Well if you're going to randomly favour me what if you randomly favour someone else over me next time?"

Looks like tomorrow at 7 PM CEST (that's 1 PM EST, 10 AM PST for us Yanks) they're doing a livestream of Charlemagne gameplay.

I'll be interested to see what they show off, they're making a big deal about it (by which I mean that their CK2 forum, all its sub-forums, and all threads have a giant banner at the top).

Help, help! I just got this game and it's crashing on the opening loading window, it gets to "Processing Flags" and then crashes to desktop. What can I do to fix this?

edit: I can't install the C++ runtime libraries that come with the game because I have a newer version installed.

Use steam to verify the game files if you have it on there, maybe something downloaded wrong.

I did, this got the Sunset DLC to work but not the game. Someone online suggested renaming the Flags folder, the game runs now but without national flags. Eh, close enough.

Not if they are infidels. Just revoke their titles, give then to someone from your faith.

Which religion do you have and what's your Moral Authority like? Low MA makes heresies pop up more often and makes it harder to proselytize.

Catholicism, and I made an Antipope because I was bored. I imagine that has my MA pretty low (I can't check at the moment)

Despair will never let you down.
Malice will never disappoint you.

I recall hearing that making count vassals in religious hotbed areas helps with conversion because each count sets his own court chaplain to work converting the province. Bonus points if you put characters with great Learning in bishoprics if you have them from Holy Wars so that the counts have great chaplains.

Yeah, anti-Popes lower MA a ton. It also hurts if your Catholic neighbors are losing Holy Wars and Crusades.

Incidentally this is why Zoroastrians are awesome. I'm the only one of my religion in the game, so I can Holy War anyone (boosting MA), and since I rarely lose my MA is at or near 100 all the time. Zoro holy sites are clumped closely together, and I don't have to worry about other Zoros losing Holy Wars.

Yeah The Maid usually ends up with 30+ martial, it's pretty sweet. Of course your nobles get pissy about a lowborn woman leading the army, but gently caress those guys.

Through "game mechanics". Which is to say bribe people to join your plot. They didn't remove assassinations for money, they just made them more expensive. :v:
