I'm having a bitch of a time with the vassal limit. I gave away some kingdoms but the vassal limit hasn't budged. Does it count total vassals or direct vassals? For example if I'm a king does it count only dukes and the counts of the dutchies I hold or does it also count the counts of my dukes?

I understood "vassal limit" to be a limit on the number of direct vassals you could have, thus putting a king over 4 dukes would mean 1 vassal instead of 4. I havent played the game with the expansion yet though so I cant be sure.

It's actually sort of refreshing to see the Abbasid Caliphate not be completely limp-dicked. Their new flag is pretty cool too.

Smoremaster posted:I was mostly referring to Trabisnikof, who was saying how hard it is to check his email. I still stand by my point that its a dumb system. Don't let it bother you so much that I think its dumb to make it difficult for your customers to find out support information all in the name of "anti-piracy". Other "indie" devs don't need DRM and don't have to hide support info. Anyway, someone did post about the issue I was having but the thread is closed with a "is a bug, not a tech support issue" comment. So I guess it doesn't really matter if I got access to the tech support forum or not.  Maybe I'll go play some EU....

monster on a stick posted:So apparently banishment no longer nets you the gold of the person being banished? Yep. I guess they didn't want anyone to upgrade tribes that way either. Ugh. How will I ever get Lithuania off the ground? Can't go feudal because there is nothing to raid in the east Baltic, and even if I had the money, I can't reform Romuva because two holy sites are literally not built, and no organized religions are anywhere near me. Although with the way Widukind is going, a Saxon Fylkirate wouldn't surprise me.

You may well be right, my knowledge of this era of history is pretty shaky, but either way, it's still a matter of the Picts becoming more Irish, so I don't know why the requirement is "not Celtic." That's really bizarre.

If you want to play as Ireland/Scotland it's probably best to use the 867 start date because there's no way to convert either of the kingdoms into feudalism by 867. Even if you do, the holdings will all be empty and bare-bones in terms of upgrades. e: Wow, just checked and even though Ireland is fully feudal by 867, de-jure Scotland is all still tribal, save for a duchy held by one of the Anglo-Saxon kings. I guess they gave them 1-2 hillfort upgrades in each county as some sort of consolation. Morzhovyye fucked around with this message at 06:11 on Oct 16, 2014 |

So I have an interesting situation. As the Welsh Fylkir of Iseldiroedd (King of Frisia and head of the Reformed Norse faith) I Great Holy Warred for the Kingdom of East Francia. However, despite owning every holding inside the Kingdom, I cannot usurp the title from its owner (the Emperor of the HRE). direct link: http://i.imgur.com/WPuMRvp.png As (I think) you can see from the screenshot, there are no little shields of someone owning a barony, and I have checked thoroughly for someone that is not me owning a barony, yet the tooltip stil lsays I cannot usurp the title. Anyone know why?

To answer my own question: The King of East Francia still held one of the duchies (I created a bunch, didnt realize I had to usurp the one the king was personally holding). In other news, anyone know if it is at all possible to de-jure drift a duchy from one Kingdom I own to another Kingdom I own? I dont think it is but I would love to drift Holstein from Denmark to Frisia and I own both. I am already drifting Brunswick, Koln, Luxembourg, Vermandois, and Normandy into Frisia because I want to have one very centralized Kingdom (I want my kingdom to have pretty borders). AAAAA!

Usually when that happens I look under my vassals page and find that there are a bunch of random counts who aren't under their de jure dukes and are reporting directly to me. Also remember that every county you hold means that all holdings under it that aren't yours are a direct vassal, which is very painful to your vassal limit. I like how tight the vassal limit is, but I cannot see any situation ever where I would be better served increasing centralization. +4 demense size is not an acceptable trade off for -20 vassal limit when vassal limits are way tighter, even if dynasty prestige does apparently give you vassal limit bonuses to help later on in the game.

Most of Scotland was never touched by Gaelic peoples only the highlands the actual language spoken by the Scotland of Macbeth was a Germanic language with a similar pedigree to English.

Maybe it was this: beedeebee posted:*stuff* Then suddenly there were 10k more rebels, but I still was able to beat them all. I also started a plot to kill the leader, and forgot about it. After the war, while he's imprisoned, I get the message that my plot is about to fire. I pause the game to check how much money he has, I see it's over 200 gold. So I quickly banish him to get that money, and 2 days letter I get a pop-up that he was assassinated. Good riddance! although I'd hardly call that an exploit.

It should be noted that baron tier characters don't count for the vassal limit. So you can still have a lot of counties and not worry about those adding up.

I just had an event pop up saying that Pope Romanus II, Pope for seventeen years, has been put in prison by "High Chief Glande of the Pruthenians". Is it a common thing for the Pope to be jailed by Romuva Pagans because  This was also after the Holy Roman Empire decided to just swallow up The Papacy and its holdings because the Anti-Pope apparently wasn't working well enough. Also, England no longer exists as a kingdom after it all flipped to Norway due to inheritance.

Stuff like that makes me wish ransom values scaled to the importance of the title. Capturing a priest wouldn't net you much, but the pope should have to give up some of his mountainous riches.
