Jamsque posted:That's definitely the event I'm remembering, I guess it just didn't fire at all during my recent game. I wondered if one of the patches or expansions that hit since my last CKII binge had changed it. Not sure why, though. The event is 50005 in imprisoned_events.txt, and looks like it would still be functional.

Maybe I've been lucky with bugs, but I honestly can't think of a time where a bug hosed things up beyond repair, or even made things really difficult. I dunno how much my 750 hours is ironman but I been using it since it came out and I've never had a game ending bug.

Tsyni posted:Sure, that isn't game over though. For one, if the mongols take over France in an invasion, you'd still be kicking, just as a vassal of the mongols. I guess I was annoyed that all my plotting had become irrelevant because an apocalyptic legion spawned two countries away. I didn't continue the game after I saw the Mongols marching through Germany.

surely you could mod it with some changes to the setup for the period. As an overhaul mod?

Alright sorry if this is a dumb question but I'm playing as the queen of Ireland and one of my vassals has the negative mood modifier "Wrong government type" I think that's because he became a merchant republic at some point but I'm not sure how to fix this.

Just smooth it over with some cash and honorary titles.

He'll give you a giant pile of cash (make a couple vassal merchant republics if you can), and will provide lovely troops so putting them at minimum doesn't matter. Merchant Republics will end up providing you with thousands of gold as the game goes on, so just ignore the relations penalty and rake in the ducats.

I tried to google 'antipope' because the history you guys were talking about sounded interested, and I discovered a bunch of sites claiming Francis is an antipope. Also this. I am not enlightened.

SurreptitiousMuffin posted:I tried to google 'antipope' because the history you guys were talking about sounded interested, and I discovered a bunch of sites claiming Francis is an antipope. An antipope refers to an individual claiming to be Pope that others believe to be illegitimately elected. These individuals have usually come out of disputed Papal Conclaves and resulted in the Church splitting down factional lines, with each side claiming that their Pope is legitimate and the other an imposter. The most famous instance of this occurred during the Western Schism, during which there were three rival Popes that had excommunicated each other and competed for support to destroy the others. The term has been co-opted by Sedevacantists and Conclavists, ultra-conservative Catholics, to refer to any Pope elected after the reforms of Vatican II. In-game, antipopes can be created from any bishop by the player. Creating an antipope gives you income from any bishop that prefers your candidate to the one occupying the Papacy at the cost of moral authority. You can also push your antipope's claim on the Papacy, which will give your candidate a major relations boost and install him on the papal throne.

And by "major relations boost" we mean "he will give you all the money and claims you want basically forever." Installing a vassal pope is the closest thing CKII has to a "you beat the game" state, probably.

Speaking of merchant vassals, is it ok/"safe" to give them the kingdom title to the (small, 2 duchy) kingdom they're in if I already have absolute crown authority in the empire? Will it cause them to freak out or do anything crazy?

Well, this is just bizarre. eventid 50006, the event received by a captor when an imprisoned character requests better accomodations, will not fire. I can manually trigger it, but it it doesn't happen when the option to make the request is chosen - and when I change the code to trigger a different event instead, it's passed along properly. I don't see anything wrong with the event that would prevent it from firing, though. code:

Think it has something to do with their ability to embargo, and conquer cities and trade posts. And yeah it's safe. It's best to have one really strong republic rather than a couple weak ones or one weak one. Just make it a point to remember that if one single vassal has a positive opinion of you, it's the doge.

Something slightly strange happened. I'm the Ivaring king of Wales and Brittany and soon to be emperor of Brittania if the emperor would stop surviving assassination attempts. The Byzantine emperor was married to a distant relative of mine and somehow their second oldest son ended up in my court. After I conquered Brittany I gave the kid a couple of counties there to avoid going over the limit. Some time later he converts one of the counties to Orthodox so I forced him to convert to Catholicism to prevent that sort of thing in the future. Not long after that he's suddenly emperor. Apparently his older brother died in some battle a year or so before their father died. So not only does the Byzantine empire have lands in Brittany now but they're run by a Catholic. There if of course a massive rebellion not long after he takes power but he rather effortlessly crushes it and now almost all his vassals are blind and/or castrated and the rest have converted. A few years later he dies from some disease and his daughter takes over. The empire itself is mostly Catholic now but I don´t think she stands much of a chance in the long run. Other fun stuff: -The Hungarians have formed Carpathia but somewhere along the way they became Catholic Russians. -A very sinful pope, that I had assassinated because he was tanking the moral authority of the church, was dug up and put on trial after he died. -I'm seeing if I can make "8====W===D*" a common name by naming the less important children it. Still no results. FreudianSlippers fucked around with this message at 03:25 on Jan 9, 2015 |

FreudianSlippers posted:-A very sinful pope, that I had assassinated because he was tanking the moral authority of the church, was dug up and put on trial after he died. Oh wow, that's great. That's a reference to a weird-but-true historical event, the Cadaver Synod. It's one of those historical facts you can bust out at dinner parties to seem like a loving smarty, along with the Defenestration of Prague and the Dancing Plague of 1518. Also sets people up nicely for when you want to bullshit them about the Great Urine Flood of Vienna or other amusing lies.

Groogy posted:You missed the entire point of that it would require a completely different game with a completely different focus of gameplay on purpose right? I dunno, seems like the main thing needed is hashing out a better system than what the Magyars in Old Gods have for migrations, so a titular d_ title can move around, simultaneously gaining and losing provs. By your account, there's at least some designs drawn up somewhere for a pre-Schism Christianity, and viceroys and tribal governments should be able to cover a lot of ground between the (sub-)Roman world and the migrating peoples from the west. CKII's probably more character-focused than what's needed for a game in that era, but it's already got a lot of the mechanics it needs to give it a solid go.

Off topic, but if you're a lunatic with hunting focus and you get a dog, when the dog dies you can build it a pyramid which gives you -5 revolt risk in your capital permanently. Love this game.
