There's no way we sent out the game with bugs, failfags :smuggo:.


That said nothing is funnier than the histrionic retards screaming about how it has destroyed the game forever when they can just play it in a week when it's fixed instead.

Here's a cool games post:

It just really hammered home a major flaw which is if your fabricate claims guy is bad you have no way to get a CB unless you just get lucky. At least in EUIV you can tank your stability and declare a no CB war or do other things. The more EUIV I play the less I like CK2.

most of the gamey starts like knights or byzantium are generally made a lot easier by a day 1 no cb war.

If you are bad at the game you shouldn't be talking about stuff you don't understand.

It's probably only useful if you are doing an insane start like Albania or something.

Yeah with Georgia and all that crap in the way preventing military access you just do the EU3 era galley spam strategy and bottle them up on the wrong side of the Aegean

That's how I did it but it's a lot quicker with a day 1 war to vassilize Serbia.

And I dunno Knuc just tell them why they're wrong instead.

Edit: Actually you probably don't need to do it as the Knights anymore since you can still form Jerusalem after the reformation now.

I hate the CK2 faggots who think there's no way to expand without Fabricate Claims. Try switching to a Catholic Heresy or raising an antipope or claims marrying or anything.

Some guy is telling me that the ultimate way to expand is to build holdings and then hand them out to invited claimants so they stay your vassal when you press their claims. Aaaaaahhhhhhhhh.

That's not the ultimate way but it works if you are desperate. That's how I usually steal neighboring kingdoms just after a dynasty change.

I wouldn't consider myself good at CK2, but how can you be so bad you don't even try anything else besides sitting around waiting for an event to fire?

Fabricate claims is the only way I know of to get a count herbert start going and it's so loving boring that I can't imagine that people just play the game like that.

That's funny because the ultimate pro move in that start is to marry your heir to the Duke of aquintane's daughter.

india is incredibly easy if you know how to go from hindu to expand since they got huge rear end subjugation and can HW muslims or w/e then become jain when factions start getting uppity...

Yeah maybe but I wanted to play Buddhist because ~*My immersion*~ and the two ways to epxand was through subjugation(which cost 500piety per duchy) and claims.

Anyway

i think last time i did that but then ended up being handed a duchy by the AI king and formed a faction to get elective... then killed the current and next king and they elected me

India might be cool if the setup was more interesting. And there was more flavor stuff. Something.

wait what the fuck??

Part of the problem with India is that while most people can conjure up some image of medieval life in Europe or the Middle East, however stereotyped, medieval India is just a blank and there isn't nearly enough flavor in events to make anyone care. That, and its a boring, blobbing hugbox, muslims can never expand into it, and Jains are retardedly good.

I don't think I understand vassal limit in Charlemagne. I was at 36/34 so I transferred two count vassals to two of my dukes, and afterwards I'm still at 36/34. Idgi
