Excelzior posted:You need to be a neighbor of, or your capital needs to be situated in De Jure lands of, the lord whom you wish to swear fealty to. Found the answer on the wiki. Apparently Counts and Dukes can swear fealty to any neighbor, but Kings can only swear fealty to their de jure emperor. So, I think for my Sicily game I'll just swear fealty to the HRE on day one and then form Sicily from within the HRE.

Both _elizabeth and _elisabeth are used for linked names in the culture files. Is that intentional? Does that matter at all? Because now that I've noticed, it's driving me nuts.

Weavered posted:Off the top of my head both Shropshire and Cheshire switched hands a few times. (Admittedly it didn't make much difference as later on both were ruled by the English Monarch) It wasn't until the Tudor period that Cheshire permanently became part of England and not Wales. Yup. If you have an interest in mediaeval Shropshire you could do far worse than read the Brother Cadfael novels by Ellis Peters. Cadfael is a former Crusader who retired to the monastery at Shrewsbury late in life to work as an apothecary, and has a sideline in solving murders. Although they are primarily murder mysteries, there's a good deal of the politics of the time described - mostly the Anarchy as it related to the area - and they're very well researched.

I'm getting angry at this game now. My duke rebelled, it cost me all my gold to take him out, and I still cant banish him even though on the ck2 wikia page for banishment it says there will be no tyranny or piety penalty for banishing a duke that was the leader of the rebellion.

With the change in CM, you want to revoke his title before you banish him, so you can get his gold.

Banishment is an option, but it always has a penalty when its the leader of a rebellion. Edit: So I think you can't banish without a tyranny penalty for vassals who rebel due to you trying to righteously imprison them. LolitaSama fucked around with this message at 01:58 on Dec 15, 2014 |

Cause otherwise it's like impossible to break into northern Italy once you form Sicily (if you don't console over to the HRE and release some dudes like you did in your Sicilia game  ). It's fun to play within a blob. Bonus: it will keep the Byzantines off your nuts.

Y'know, I think I would have been able to pull it off eventually anyway, I would have just had to keep the Pope as a friend instead of a vassal until he called enough crusades for northern Italy. The HRE going Fraticelli was awesome and not my doing.

LolitaSama posted:Is there a penalty if I keep vassals in prison and let them rule their vassals from prison? Nope, though if they're imprisoned technically their lands will be ruled by a regent. Why would you do that, though? Even if they're out of money you can get a bonus with *all* vassals by releasing them.

I always try to keep one or two imprisoned for unexpected ruler death, or to keep the released vassal bonus going once it fades. The bonus relations don't stack once you've gotten it once. Is it better for releasing kings? The highest I've gotten it is +15 for dukes, though that was pre-Charlemagne. It's also pretty nice to have several vassals in prison and unable to form coalitions against you.

Do you just have to create the title the very same day you get over 51% of the counties, because it seems like otherwise you're just handing the emperor the kingdom of sicily on a silver platter.

Is there a way to customize the various realm colors on the map? The dozens of shades of yellow-green and purplish are irritating me and this fractured muslim empire has like 14 separate dudes split off of it. I figured out how to see their forces finally, but I just want to glance across the levant and make a quick estimate of whats happening in the east when I'm babysitting my stuff in the west (which is just weird shades of purple as well).kissekatt posted:I haven't been following CK2 much, so does anyone mind telling me what the thread title is referring to?

Mongols can raid, can't they? It must be hilarious to conquer some seagoing area, perhaps the Byzantine Empire, and be able to load up like 500,00 horse archers onto boats for a "raiding party".

Now that I think about it, if I'm already incurring an opinion penalty for having vassal levies raised when I use boats, I might as well use their soldiers too. 26k soldiers on 308 boats in the year 1027. I'll save that for tomorrow.

Man, expanding within the Byzantines is a bitch and a half with the new viceroyalty mechanics. Usually the Emperor isn't an rear end in a top hat and gives your theme to your heir, but if you manage to take another one he's sure to split them up when you die and unlike gavelkind, you only get a weak claim on the one you lost. To make things worse, all of my counties are gavelkind and I can't switch to primogeniture until the Empire itself has high crown authority. Which I don't want because then us vassals can't fight each other. On the other hand, the new Greek portraits are pretty slick, even if I like the old clothes/crowns better.

I haven't played shortly before CM so I don't know the specifics.

Anyone here play with the Historical Immersion Project mod? There's an option in the installer to go with vanilla crusades or some scripted stuff that HIP does, but it's never explained what the difference is. What changes exactly? Also, I notice that troop numbers tend to be lower across the board in HIP...does this hold true for the hordes and aztecs that show up later? If so, are they generally weaker or tougher than in vanilla?

Doctor Schnabel posted:Anyone here play with the Historical Immersion Project mod? I dunno about the vanilla crusades, I don't think I've even seen a vanilla crusade in-game since CK2 was first released. Troop numbers for the hordes and aztecs have been rebalanced, yeah. They're tougher than vanilla not because of troop strength, though, but because HIP in general makes it harder to blob up in preparation for the mongols/aztecs.

Is it usual for every crusade to faceslam into the Fatimid wall? I don't think I've seen a single muslim rebellion all game, and both the Fatimids and the Seljuks have blobbed up like crazy while Western Europe at least sometimes get serious revolts.
