What would you call developers intentionally disabling access for new customers to the only form of tech support they have available? We all love CK2 and Paradox and I know they have some devs that post here but that doesn't mean they don't make the occasional boneheaded decision. again, i cant stress enough that it's a MUCH nicer form of DRM than something like uplay but it can STILL cause problems for people unfamiliar with a system like that or who aren't accustomed to that kind of customer support.

So has anyone else not had Ragnarr Lođbrók sire any of his more famous children like Ivar, Bjorn, or Sigrud? Because all I've seen so far in my current game is some depressingly average kids. I want real vikings damnit!

Ugh, but it's hard to get my totally legit non-pirated CD key and paste it into a field on a webpage. I mean, I have to make a Paradox account and then check my email, and then open up steam just to get the key. I don't have time for that kind of poo poo. Here's a 500 word essay about how time-consuming and difficult the process is:

To be fair the complaints aren't that they are difficult outside of existing. So nice try? Though even if you had issues (you didn't) I would still say this post but unironically.

It's bullshit to say anyone mentioning the forum registration is annoying has stolen the game when it's really easy to look at some ones steam profile and see what games they actually own. Also the game was literally $1 a month or two ago and im pretty sure you only need the base game cd-key for forum registration so more than likely anyone complaining about the registration probably was able to spare that $1 or had it given to them.

Because retinue whining is much preferable to DRM whining . . . 1) Guess what the backbone of my Venician Grand Principality of Carpathia was. 2) Guess which Orthodox empire to my east hasn't magically collapsed like the DLC-patch suggested might happen to large blobs. 3) Guess whether or not this game was an Ironman game I intended to play all the way through with. 4) Guess who was stupid enough to load up and play said game without rolling back to a pre-patch version. Seriously I think this one really did ruin the fun of merchant republics, retinues seem too expensive even for Venice. Epinephrine fucked around with this message at 03:19 on Oct 16, 2014 |

Someone post a fun/funny story to distract us or something. From the CK Challenge Megathread: Mr.Morgenstern posted:So I had a problem with the Serbia file. I just won the Crusade for Jerusalem, and I have a bunch of titles to hand out. My steward offers to help me hand them out. This is a new feature in Charlemagne, so I'm curious and I agree. My steward grabs a bunch of new titles for himself, takes away all my good titles and gives me useless town and church titles and sends my son off to some county where I can't educate him. gently caress. gently caress. loving gently caress gently caress. I deleted the file. That sounds like an awesome feature that I will always say yes to.

Playing as a vassal I used that option (there's a decision for it) for my liege, and all I was allowed to do was pick which of four useless jackasses to hand a city to. That was it. Sounds totally balanced!

Forgot to mention: your Spymaster can no longer aid your chances of succeeding/not getting caught, so it's pretty much useless except to get rid of adventurers or if you just don't give a poo poo about Dishonorable maluses.

By the time I get any good traction up North they've always turned into horrible huge as blobs and it's really annoying how they basically always stay in super high MA without console fuckery. Annoying. And they never seem to go decadent, assholes seem unwilling to try for independence, ughh.

Instead, the same Spymaster action boosts plot power (presumably against targets in a given province) - I'm not sure of the exact mechanic or whether it's a flat boost vs. a boost to gain from individual plotters or whatever, but I figure it was supposed to replace the boost to assassination chances so meh.

The plot power increase is insignificant. There is now very little reason I can think of to ever not have your Spymaster parked in Constantinople 24/7.

Bloodly posted:...I'm curious. Everyone's going feudal with tribes. Why is everyone going feudal? I understand you can go republic? What's the downside in this case? Well, several things happened when I tried. First, all of the still tribal holdings got massive maluses because they're now considered the "wrong type" of holding. Since all the major landowners in the kingdom got picked by the game to become patricians, they suffered the same thing. The kingdom went from being able to summon 6k+ stacks down to sub-1k, and income cratered for everything but that first city that I'd taken the "form republic" decision for. Also, every single holding had it's levy and garrison magically depleted as if it had been conquered, meaning every single neighbor decided it was time to crack some skulls and there was jack all anyone in the kingdom (sorry, grand republic) could do about it. When I died and another family won the election, the one capitol city of the republic didn't get passed on to the next patrician appropriately - which meant that they only had tribal holdings, so the whole thing somehow reverted to a tribal system and everything about the republic (trade posts, estates, etc) was magically deleted from the face of the planet. Oh, and the duke-level republican titles that existed got turned from republics into feudal duchies despite never being feudal at any previous time (the holdings are still all tribal). It, uh, doesn't really work right.

You still get the "wrong holding type" if you have tribal vassals as a feudal leader, if that makes a difference.

As I found out, winning wars as the Muslims will get rid of a huge amount of decadence, along with huge piety and prestige, basically no one want to revolt as they have nothing to hate about their all mighty ruler due to the positive modifiers, It makes old Fatimid seem chaotic starting from the 700's

So I turned Manaw into a Republic and the great houses don't fire. So I take the two other counties that may or may not be the de jure dutchy, depending on the phase of the moon I guess. That manages to populate my great houses so I'm a proper merchant republic. After I die, I get the game over because apparently I became a republic and can no longer play.  e: And I can't recreate it because now Pictland has decided that I need 5000 troops pushing my poo poo in instead, and I lose my last holding.

Sounds like the best strategy is to upgrade all (or most) of the tribes in your realm to the point where they can become cities instead of hitting the button as soon as you can. Just like with going feudal.
