Fellblade posted:It would be infinitely better if it went away when you clicked something else like the right-click menu, as it is it generally pops up in an awkward part of the screen and doesn't close when you expect it to. The thing is: its quite a big popup, it gets in the way of the things you have to see. For example: while searching for people to invite, it will open right above the person stats, which you probably wanna be seeing. And then it wont close unless you click on someone else, just to close it. Its annoying. Make it a regular window, draggable and with a little close "x" on the corner, it will be a lot better.

I do feel silly to be gossiping about random Paradox forumers, but I really want the drat thing to come out, if only so I can mod in a non-gimped Arab Conquest event chain.

Still, why not put a little "x" on the corner? And why not make it draggable, if you want to see something on the screen before making the decision of giving the person a title/invitation/proposal whatever? Often it is necessary. Because still the only way to know if someone will accept you invitation is to open the diplomacy menu and click invite. So instead of right-click, open, invite, close, right click the next etc I will just right click the next on the list, and the popup will be above his stats.

The only "heirs" that can even come close is the Franks under Charlemagne for the West and the Ottomans in the East. That's only when you squint your eyes a lot and shift goal posts. Neither had the influence that Rome did. The first time the East settled down enough to consider conquests again they loving crushed the Goths. Had the Persians not invaded while Belasarius was in Italy it's higly likely Italy would have been incorporated fully once again rather than the patchwork poo poo they got.

It tends to get overshadowed by Graves' Claudius books.

I could use a few pointers. I've turned my Irish chiefdom into a republic, but now I'm stuck with a couple of tribal vassals who don't like me much, and even if they did, they wouldn't give me more than a couple dozen troops. I have the opportunity to form the de jure kingdom of Ireland, but what'd be the point? Unless, would it make sense to start paying for my vassals' market villages to help them become grand mayors, too? I don't know what to do.

You can wait for them to upgrade the holdings themselves, but it'll likely take awhile. Better to do it yourself and be rid of the -30 wrong government type relations penalty.

Man, playing After The End and forming the empire of Columbia with WoL has opened the game to all sorts of unintended possibilities. I've been playing the voodoo emperess of texas and I've been keeping my client-kings happy by zombifying them (via kidnap plots--the more ambitions lite mod works with ATE) and/or seducing them. Right now we're waging a huge war against the Holy Columbian Confederacy (that at this point stretches from philly to Alabama) to get a voodoo claimant on the throne.

Ofaloaf posted:Say which mod works in conjunction with AtE? We haven't really bothered with keeping inter-mod compatibility in mind, but if something works now it'd be cool if we could keep it clear and working. Additional Objectives Lite*, Stop The Orgy Please! (My quick game as King Solomon was fun, but after getting ~30 lovers in less than a decade I figured that it needs a nerf) and personal castles are the only submods that I am running with AtE. No conflicts with them! Heck, the personal castles mod is practically a must-have mod and it doesn't conflict with anything insofar as I know. *The 00_plots.txt 'conflicts' with AtE's 00_plots.txt, but I checked the two files and they differ because of a few spaces here and there. Effectively it's compatible. E:Oh, and all that this mod does is add in two plots from addition objectives (kidnap and wrongfully convict of treason). Those two plots pretty much make the character-to-character interactions amazing. Each generation I usually see a lord/lady called 'the spider' or 'the whisperer' or 'the shadow' and they have ridiculous intrigue scores and single-handedly kidnap and ranson/execute half the realm. It's great. MLKQUOTEMACHINE fucked around with this message at 23:36 on Dec 19, 2014 |

In my experience that usually happens because the betrothed person is from a realm that is outside of your diplomatic range.

Wish that would happen to that drat Abbs or Umms in the CM start. That thing is borderline unplayable because the drat suckers just don't seem to fall, ever and have the bad tendency to ally all the time. Also, I have literally never seen a single one of them hit by a liberation revolt despite them never founding the kingdoms under their control. Not that they need to with their massive vassal limits and massive realms full of tiny dukes that never seem to unite properly.

I think Charlemagne might be the teensiest bit overpriced - it adds a lot, but I'm not sure how much I like it all - but on the other hand, Way of Life feels cheap for me. It only adds a few small things but those few small things are amazingly fun. So on the whole it balances out. Spend the .

I've noticed that the major muslim dynasties no longer sit at 0% decadence for ever and ever, and in my Burgundy game both the Abbasids and Umayyads (to a lesser degree) exploded. If you peer past the jpeg compression you can see that the Abbasids have been reduced to a tiny emirate in Jerusalem, and the Sulayman Empire is almost completely sieged. The Mastan you see in Africa/Tunis is actually a catholic berber's duchy, who according to the history files was peacefully granted his title. He managed to expand all the way to the dejure borders of the Kingdom of Africa, but I've played much further and his sons have been absolutely wiped off the map by 900. That is definitely one of the weirdest things I've seen in ck2. This is completely anecdotal, sadly enough, because In my recent Abyssinia game the Abbasids, Umayyads, and the Sultan of Africa/Mauretania are all under 15% decadence and stable as all hell.

I have a republic-related question. My kinsman has the highest respect of all the Patricians, thanks in no small part to a hefty donation to his campaign fund. However, his main competitor is apparently going to inherit the Republic once my main character dies, at least according to the tool-tip, and I can't figure out why. I don't have that "You're going to lose some titles!" warning at the top of the screen, and the Laws info page shows my kinsman as my rightful heir... Is the tool-tip lying? Edit: I just had him executed, to be safe  Edit 2: Well, now some other Patrician has the "Heir to the Most Serene Republic of Éire" tool-tip
