Does the pope need to be independent for Crusades to fire, or do I need to be Catholic to get the notification that they are active? It's early 12th century, Islam has Jerusalem and no Crusades. I'm Jewish Ethiopia and I want to have my crack at the Fatmids.

I'm certain I read somewhere that you could choose the flag etc and I was expecting you could choose colour as well, but it's literally just an upgrade of your primary duchy that resets all of your inheritance laws. Sorry son, now that I have a gold circle floating around my head I HAVE to split everything between your 12 brothers now. But hey. Look on the brightside, I have one more demesne slot.

This reply is to you as well as others that are commenting about Gavelkind being terrible. It is. You can game it. Dont like the way the game is divvying out your counties? Then give your non-heirs land before you die. If you are going to lose almost everything anyway, at least give away want you least mind losing. I have kept 1 kingdom 2 duchies and 7 counties for my primary heir by giving each other son 3 counties and a duchy by choice. I made sure to tutor them myself or had them tutored to be Stewardship-trained so I could make sure they had enough stewardship to own 3 counties without needing to give one away. This worked for me for 200 years playing a game as Lithuania. I kept son counts somewhat low by marrying older women with good stats and then grabbing concubines if I wasnt having any kids before the wife got too old. I had to conquer new land to give away, of course, but if you are a huge blob that is not hard. It is also not hard if you are marrying people with claims.

Gavelkind has been very odd for me since Charlemagne was released. Like I had 3 sons, all perfectly eligible for inheriting everything with my firstborn as heir. When I died, the Empire and a Kingdom went to my second son and the third son received the rest and my first son received nothing.

Is it just me or is it too easy to bribe other leaders to get them out of honoring an alliance with an opponent when you go to war? Maybe there should be some kind of mechanism where you can only find out foreign alliances and opinions of other leaders if you set up a spy network in the target county. As it stands now, if I want to conquer a county I can click on the leaderhead, see who his allies are, and just give them some money, which in most cases is enough to keep them from fighting against me.

So, my Scandinavia game just gets better and better. I've finally managed to achieve most of my goals - become Scandinavia, conquer Britannia, become Emperor of that, reform my religion, get out of Gavelkind in almost all of my titles. Now, I'm searching around for stuff to do, when the Pope calls a crusade on me for England. I fight it off, but not before I lose well over half my retinue and a shitton of my vassals forces. Mostly, I suspect, through ill-advised attacks, but still. I've won, its okay, I've got plenty of time to rebuild. Thats when 100,000 Aztecs show up. As it turns out, I'd forgotten to deactivate that little piece of DLC. So now 100,000 screaming bloodthirsty Aztecs have shown up off the coast of Ireland seeking to conquer it. I raise all the vassal forces I can, all the Mercenaries I can recruit, and my remaining half of my retinue to Britain to fight them off. It looks like they've all split off into 10,000 man stacks to siege, so I figured I'd be okay. Nope, as soon as the two 25,000 man armies of mine show up the Aztecs bunch up and slaughter them all. I now have no retinues left. The only thing stopping an outright rebellion is the fact that my vassals have practically nothing left to. I knuckle under and hand over Ireland to the Aztecs, and go back to desperately trying to rebuild my shattered forces. At least I've got money (vast sums of it) so I can get my retinue back to full easy, but I don't think I've got much in the way of mercenaries or vassal levies left. Now the Aztecs have declared war on me again for Scotland, which is where I saved. I'm thinking its not even worth trying to fight them off - just grant the Empire of Britannia title to somebody in England and leave it to their own devices? Then I can go back when the Aztecs have expended thier insane doomstack and fallen to rebels and take back Britain all over again. Is that a reasonable thing to do? Goddamn, I love this game.

I haven't had any issues with gavelkind, I have no idea why everyone else seems to get these bizarre happenings. Maybe your electors changed their votes to one of your other sons without you noticing at some point before your death? They tend to change their minds constantly and if you're occupied with wars and whatever I can totally imagine missing the popups.

So I talked earlier about matri-marrying my second son to the Queen of England, and everyone told me what a bad idea that was. I tried to benefit from it by regular-marrying a later descendent to her only daughter, but that didn't work out well either. I lost some land in Egypt due to succession, and it was gonna take some serious finagling/plotting to get the second-generation queen's son on the Empire of Sicilia throne. So I went back to the last save before the matri-marriage, and offered a regular betrothal myself with my as-yet unlanded second son, Uberto II. As soon as Uberto II turned 16, Constance sent her marriage request and I paused, made him a very powerful duke with a bunch of land, and unpaused. The request disappeared, but a month or so later, they got married on their own. Now Uberto III is the heir to England, Africa, Sicily, Italy, Jerusalem, and the Empire of Sicilia. Definitely a good thing I rewound. I also just won a Holy War for Carinthia versus the thankfully-Fraticelli HRE. I had to hire three Holy Orders and the Great and St. George Companies, but it was well worth the cash. Chipping away at those assholes every ten years, and hopefully my vassal Pope calls a crusade against them at some point.  As you can see, that terrifying Tartaria blob is finally having internal issues. At some point I'll have to deal with the Ilkhanate I guess, but hopefully by then I'll have a lot more of Europe and I'll definitely have England and Anatolia when Uberto III takes the throne.

I know it's a real place, but drat if doesn't sound like an involuntary throat noise. Haha, yeah it's a silly name. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gurk,_Carinthia I took that screenshot before I parceled out the land. I'm using Carinthia as my Designated Heir Duchy. Gives him power and prestige for votes, a vote in the Kingdom of Italy (historically my toughest election to win), and it can just keep passing down to the next heir. So in the Empire of Sicilia, Duke of Carinthia is equivalent to Prince of Wales. He'll also be Duke of Tripolitana and Calabria (with just a county in each to preserve my demesne consolidation) to give him votes in the other two kingdoms. Not sure how I'll play it when Uberto III inherits England.

Is that the 2.2.0.2 patch on Steam? Is it possible to disable the "has accepted your call to arms"-popup? As a tribal king it gets very annoying and spammy. I can't find it in message settings (though there is a setting for "declined your call to arms"). It's weird that they didn't put in the same search-thingy for message settings that's in Victoria 2, it would have been very useful.

I just remembered that during the live twitch stream for charlemagne I asked (begged) for a map mode where a vassal can see his own vassals (the current vassal mode only shows the vassals of independent realms, so you have no way of seeing your own vassals if you are a vassal yourself), which is something really lacking and makes playing a vassal of a big empire very annoying when you get big and have to deal with your own internal politics. One of the guys in the stream read my comment and said it could be introduced on the next patch or something, I wonder if it was? Nobody mentioned it yet.
