ThomasPaine posted: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. Worth adding that to do this, you have to have your chancellor working in the capital of the duchy (I think).

Torrannor posted:I browsed through the CK2 wiki and found out that there is a "Reincarnation" trait. I find India rather boring so I never played there, has anybody experience with the trait? When do you get it and what does it do? I've never had it happen to me but it appears to be some event (chain?) that triggers on birth for some Hindus, where they are believed to be the reincarnation of one of their ancestors. No idea what bonuses it gives. I'd hazard a guess that it's something related to approval.

Bold Robot posted:Worth adding that to do this, you have to have your chancellor working in the capital of the duchy (I think). Good stuff folks thanks. That was real convenient and about 6 decades worth of conquering at once. Now I don't know whether to create this kingdom of England or not. It seems like kind of a bad idea and the sort of thing that hosed my last Ireland game cause that second kingdom isn't inherited by the same guy as the first one. So when my guy died my land was screwed cause the Kingdom of Scotland went to my son but the new Irish king was elected. But if I don't create it I don't think that happens. I miss out on the free claims but I preserve my big territory. Also kind of dumb question, how the hell do I scroll to the side on the realm tree things? There's no slider thing to do so!

I don't care how many precious tee-taws got bruised or which frangus got zelped by gunpowder Aztecs, I loved that DLC and now I want my Faust mini-expansion so I can do the Satan cuck thing whenever I want, along with any number of other spooky things. Hunters get pooches? Cool, I want to get a homunculus or something. Lemme trade health for coin (or vice versa) or cure the clap by sacrificing my heir. Sometimes it's okay to be silly in my straightlaced historical sim, especially since I can toggle it all with a click or two at startup. Also, retinue talk: say I want a retinue that I'd like to use not as a standalone noscope headshot crew, but rather as some force that gets integrated into my levied doomstack. Would that be an overall poor use of my time and money, or can they make a significant contribution with the right composition?

Uh so, has anybody done the 'built an observatory' event that comes from the learning focus and taken it right until the end? I certainly wasn't expecting that. The player character tries to summon Cthulhu and is torn apart by mystic energies.

Kawalimus posted:I thought so but it never worked. But RIGHT CLICK did. Weird! It really sucks to try and do it on a laptop. Also congrats. I've played this game for hundreds of hours, and my chancellor has never fabricated a claim on a duchy before. Synnr posted: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. Genius really isn't worth it. You're better off creating a ruler who can educate all your sons into great characters, rather than one who has a 15 or whatever percent chance of passing on genius. There's a few traits that lower your age by a few years, but only lower a skill by one point. Deceitful and cynical are two of these iirc. So it drops your diplomacy or w/e by one point, but lowers your age 4 or 5 years, meaning you can add 4-5 more skill points to make up for it. I usually take both of those. Also look through the purple traits like ugly. I always take ugly, but I think there's one or two more I really like that will lower your age like 15 years with little punishment. Once you've done that, you can give yourself a 4 star education trait, and dump like 20 points into your skill points and still be 18 years old. Also aggressive leader is a must. Fake edit: Did a little build just now as an example.  And once I clicked "remove all traits"  As the years go on, you can pick up things like ambitious, brave, and diligent, so by the time your ruler is 35, it gets pretty ridiculous.

Always pick Wounded. If you don't pick any other negative Health traits you are practically guaranteed to recover (getting Scarred and its prestige bonus) and it lowers your age by 11 (iirc? a substantial amount).

Annath posted:If I wanted to recreate the Classic Roman Empire, aside from creating a dude in the ruler creator to be Hellenic etc etc, what else would I need to do to make this work? It is possible without ruler designer or mods, by having the Sons of Abraham DLC and inheriting as a demon spawn King, then the first war you have will bring in a witch with hellenic religion. To ensure the religion's survival you need to immediately give her land and educate your heirs in her court. So to make this work, you need to have Cognatic succession law first, which means you may need to become a Cathar heretic before the demonspawn event fires.

It's really not worth bothering with the standard character creator, I'd recommend just lowering all the costs to 0 in defines.lua so you don't have to do gimmicky poo poo like starting your character as wounded.Raserys posted:I know Paradox said they wouldn't let the reception of Sunset Invasion on the forums affect silly DLCs in the future, but there hasn't been one since, and it's kind of disappointing.

In 30 years he creates the nation of Sweden, reforms Paganism, turns Sweden into a well-developed feudal society. Then one day, he puts on a wizard hat, walks into the sea chanting and his head explodes. Hell of a way to go. May you be shitfaced in Valhalla for all your days, you beautiful crazy motherfucker.

You can choose between heliocentrism and Necronomicon by choosing either I wonder how the stars move or there's something out there. I think the latter only gives cultural tech points, but you get a lot of them, while the former can give you points for other tech trees.

Stop inviting such flakey people! I'm really tempted to buy the last 2 expansions and give this a go tonight. I havent been able to play since I married my HRE to the heir of the Byzantine empire, had a kid and found that the bastards switched to elective just before I murdered a path to the crown for him. I could have probably scraped together an invasion but it just burnt me out of that game after I was so sure I had pretty much peacefully created the biggest empire since Rome. To do the while reuniting Rome thing I want to either start as the HRE or Byzantines and sweep either down through Spain, along Africa and across to the levant or the opposite way, eventually winning whichever one of the two I'm not, don't i? I also need to get Rome early. My last game showed me how valuable a vassalised pope is. The money it generates is insane. The pope himself never gathered enough coin for me to be able to ask him for some cash. It all went straight to me.

I'm starting to get a little annoyed with how Paradox is randomly deciding that places have local language names now. DANMARK. NORGE. MUMU. It's like, I'm playing this game in English, I'd appreciate the English place names. At least I'd like a toggle, like EU4 has, so if I want I can just default to the English place names.

Yeah, I much prefer my names being consistent instead of trying to figure out what the hell some localized titles and locations mean, the rest of the UI is in English and "Konung of Sverige" or whatever just looks really stupid in my opinion. At least Vanilla CK2 isn't as bad as some mods that go really over the top with that stuff ( BASILEIA RHÕMAIÕN  ).
