Strudel Man posted:Because it means that restoring the imperial borders is less imperial-y. Why would it be? You'd still have Imperial administration, and the viceroys you appoint very probably would be able to use it. Hell, it would actually be MORE like the Roman Empire if you gave out kingdom titles, since the original Roman provinces that Governors were given are roughly the size of CK2 kingdoms.

I meant in the sense that the "imperial administration" crown law no longer meaningfully functions when most of your domain is under vassal kings, given that it's only operative with revoking duchies. But probably that's different with the charlemagne expansion anyway. I haven't felt like dropping the money on it, for what it offers.

Post Charlemagne the Byzantine's Imperial Administration is just represented by having all of the duchies be viceroyalties to start with and getting a +25 vassal limit law.

The CK2 wiki doesn't really seem to to be up to date on Charlemagne. Centralization and Imperial Laws have a decent enough explanation, but usually you get a little better info out of that site. Is there a good source for more in depth explanations of the changes brought in that expansion anywhere? The internet seems to be the Wild West right now when it comes to info on that DLC.

I keep getting a warning about titles that may pass out of my realm when the vassal (my second son) dies. Is this because my grandson will inherit the county in my realm and also a duchy outside? When this happens will the county leave my realm? I'm really enjoying this game but there's a lot to learn!

Question: I know that universities and schools increase technology spread. Is that technology spread to the province from its neighbors, technology spread from the province to its neighbors, or both? I want to know whether to focus on building them in high tech provinces to spread tech from them, or in low tech provinces to catch them up, or what.

If you highest titles are two duchies, they'll be split among the sons, and since they are equal titles, they'll both be indepedent. But if you have a king title, the son who gets that will be the liege of the others.

Basically in elective gavelkind you just conquer your brothers and kill them on the battlefield. Gorelab fucked around with this message at 07:52 on Dec 21, 2014 |

If you've got Way of Life (and you should!!) you could probably just set the Intrigue focus and spy on your unworthy children. At some point you'll get some kind of event that gives you a reason to imprison them, the ability to assassinate them in an event, or simply outright kidnap them.

Oh man, sucker punch. I had gobbled up all of Norway, Sweden and Denmark, made myself king of Denmark and started handing out a few duchies to keep the vassal count down. Now CK2+ introduces a prestige cost to increasing tribal organization so I was 1200 prestige short of absolute and going feudal when my king caught pneumonia and died. Then his three sons split the thrones between them, even CREATING the kingdoms of Norway and Sweden. I hadn't seen that coming.

Yes, Paradox decided that gavelkind wasn't punishing enough, it will create kingdom titles that you have enough land to form and hand them out to your children to split up your lands this way.

Does that mean you want to make sure you don't have 50% of a kingdom's de jure counties so new independent kingdoms are created on your death? Besides your capital kingdom obviously.

To be honest, I find the creating new kingdoms easier to deal with because you get claims and can take them back fairly quickly.

Or save and reload as your son and start a Me For King faction. If necessary, you could even swap back and forth to accept the demands. Weird thing happened to me the other day. I was playing Haesteinn (and managed to stay in and hold Brittany - becoming Breton seems to work). I'd just taken most of Ireland and my demesne was too large, so I retired my two oldest concubines to temples in the hope that it would prevent 1100 years of wrangling about women bishops. I then replaced them with a couple of promising Irish women in my dungeon for a bit of social integration. Two months later, my wife had me executed. Before you ask: it was not "killed on the orders of", it literally said "was executed by Queen Vigdis". I wasn't imprisoned first, either; I was leading troops in Connacht when the popup came up. There was no accompanying event, and my wife had no title beyond "Woman Married To The King". What happened, and why?

If I wanted to restore the roman empire from londinium, and wanted to get english longbowmen at some point from the old gods start, how do you trigger that culture flip? I'm not sure I understand the wiki page correctly. Do I just force myself into a norsemen down there, then conquer, say, brittony? Is there a timeframe you have to be in for that to happen? Do you have to be catholic at some point for it to culture flip? e; And I recall a discussion about the character creator and traits to pick. Anyone know what page that was on? I usually just dump genius onto my guy and call it it day if I bother at all, but I was thinking perhaps wounded/lustful/cruel and I dunno what else.

If my Half-Brother gets elected king (hooray gavelkind) is it game over? He's got the most support, and I'm desperately trying to raid Scottish churches to get pagan moral authority up so I can go feudal before my character dies.

Because if no, then you should be worried. 2. Is he your primary heir? Because if no, you should be worrying about your primary heir. 3. If not, is your primary heir still inheriting something? Because if yes, you'll still be playing.

Oh thank god. He's the same: blue pig on a white field. House af Munso. I managed to create The Kingdom of Sweden, so everybody will have to be his vassal. Should be okay. Okay, still gonna try to gun for feudalism. I have the stone fort set up, I have three Germanic Pagan holy sites, I have High Tribal Authority. Is raiding poorly defended Irish/Scottish monasteries the way to go? It gets a lot less money, but it's safer than hitting France or England.

If the word "Heir" is red on your character page, you will lose when that person inherits. Otherwise you are fine. There's also a pop up warning at the top of the screen. Don't worry - the game makes it pretty easy to tell when you are at risk of losing.

Weird thing happened but a good thing and I don't understand why. I pressed a claim that I had fabricated and not only did I take the county, I took this guy's entire realm of Mercia in england. How come it let me do that? I did press it on his capital but I didn't think that made a difference.

If your chancellor is good and/or you get very lucky, you can sometimes fabricate a claim on an entire duke-level title, not just a county. Petty kingdoms are this rank, so that seems like tbe most likely thing. It's not always immediately obvious as you have to read the success letter carefully to see whether it's a ducal claim or a county one, and as they often share names it's quite possible to end up warring for one or the other without noticing.
