I'm in charge of inventing post apocalyptic Mexico and let me tell you, knowing nothing about Mexico or the Spanish language is an obstacle. Fun, though.

edit: /\/\/\/\ sounds like a good learning experience, though  . There will probably be lots of impassable terrain in the mountains, a lot of holdings near Mexico City, and lots of long obnoxious names for both people and provinces.DivineCoffeeBinge posted:Okay, getting your mod hyped by Paradox is pretty fuckin' awesome. It helps that After The End is a fantastic mod, even with only half of the map filled. Speaking of After The End, I forget if I have seen it asked, but have you AtE guys done the math (or an estimation) on how many counties the map will have when it is full up compared to how many provinces the base game now has with India?

I'm having a strange bug with the new version of After the End, large pockets of provinces that can't be selected because they have no characters, south and west of the Papacy and in the western parts of Texas. Anyone know what the problem might be?

Anyone know what the problem might be? I think it is built like that right now because making characters/families/ect is a very tedious process, and the game autogenerates characters for those spots if none are seeded in the files.

Your child tabbing logic is sound. If you kill all other children so she inherits you titles then your grandchildren can inherit your current titles + Sweden.

(maybe there was a pre-existing betrothal or a huge power/prestige differential between Sweden and Ireland in your game - I've seen both of those work to get matri-marriages that would ordinarily never fly). Your child murder question has already been answered, but yeah, assuming a) nobody kills either of the newlyweds before they reproduce, and b) Sweden's succession laws aren't Elective or something similarly changeable, your grandkids will get both.

Some pages ago I asked for an easy game as a Muslim ruler and people recommended an Iberian one, so I tried the Emir of Granada. Holy hell, is it hard. Does anyone have any tips for surviving the first few years in 1066 Iberia? The Christian kings are all of the Jimena dynasty and naturally join each other's wars. Within a few years at the start the Jimena wrecking ball starts demolishing Muslim Iberia one holy war at a time -- how do I stop it? I've tried joining the defender's war, but even our combined armies aren't enough to resist Leon + Castile + Galicia + Aragon.

That seems completely counter to my experiences. I've never seen the Jimenas win wars against the Andalusian Emirates until the rise of Holy Orders.

Gerald of Wales, The Description of Wales, Book II, Chapter 10 posted:There are three things which are causing the ruin of the Welsh people and preventing them, generation after generation, from ever enjoying their prosperity. The first is that all their sons, both legitimate and illegitimate, insist upon taking equal shares in their patrimony. One result of this, as I have said already, is that they not infrequently kill each other. The second is that they entrust the upbringing of their sons to important people of good family in the neighborhood. When the fathers die, each foster-parent does all in his power to ensure the succession of his protege, which leads to murder, arson, an wholesale destruction. Thirdly, through their natural pride and obstinacy, they will not order themselves as other nations do so successfully, but refuse to accept the rule and dominion of one single king. My 12th century history course is making me appreciate this game more and more.

Nah, I think Ireland is still the standard newbie starting point. Usually people start in 1066, but there's no real substantial difference other than the Byzantines are probably more likely to fall in 1081. Although if that happens, then the Pope is likely to call a crusade for Greece, so if you're bored of Ireland by then you can pick up shop, move to Constantinople, and get your Latin Empire on.

Alright...I just got back into this game after taking a long time off from playing it. I took a stab as Ireland because it would be a nice starter game and you have the chance to reunite a kingdom. I've done that, taking nine counties, but I've got a Gavelkind problem. The heir is a low-talent putz and his oldest brother is a putz, but the third son is 13+ in both military and stewardship. What good ways are there to get rid of the older two sons so he can have all of the land to himself instead of splitting it up three ways?

If you're still small and not concerned about tyranny you can imprison/execute the older heirs. You can't plot to murder them and assassinate is too expensive at the start so just eat the tyranny and roll with it. Of course, at this point you might as well just go all the way and do the same to anyone else in your realm you don't like. Then, if you want to die just dismiss your spymaster and take paid assassinations at high intrigue mayors across the world in hopes one of them counters.

Crazy Ted posted:I can try to assassinate each son for 350 gold - very costly. I did manage to smother Brian II's two-year-old brother to avoid a Gavelkind split before he became the current king though Unfortunately, you cannot plot to kill your children. (ck2txt) Use diplo assassinations, put them in command of an army and hope they die, give your middles son a church to disinherit him, or force him to take the vows... there are a few possibilities to deal with this problem.

I don't think you can appoint primary heirs as bishops. If its any consolation, playing a putz is a challenge, and if you manage to unfuck yourself, it's a greater victory for it. BravestOfTheLamps fucked around with this message at 22:35 on Oct 9, 2014 |

If third son is not already married, consider marrying him to a high-intrigue spouse with traits like Ambitious/Deceitful/Cynical/Cruel. YOU can't plot to murder your own kids, but their siblings and in-laws have no such limitations, and in my experience the spouses of secondary heirs are pretty prone to plotting to murder people ahead of their spouses in line.

Vassalized the Knights Hospitaler because they controlled Greece, and hey why not grab a bunch of prime land for 500 gold? Then I usurped the title King of Greece, because it seemed like a basically free source of prestige. Oh wait, the title is passed by Senority? Oops character dies, title starts wrecking my kingdom as it peels off more and more counties held by old members of my dynasty. Eventually I have to stab about a dozen members of my dynasty to get my next characters 30 year old hands on the title so I can destroy it. Now everyone in my dynasty HATES me. Lesson learned, look up the specifics of the title before usurping it.
