I seized another kingdom as a tribe, and I'm OK with losing it to Gavelkind, but I want to lose a next door neighbor, not a doughnut that intersects the doughnut of my other kingdom.

So I was raiding Constantinople, as one does, and on the way back i noticed my dungeon was unusually full. Turns out I had picked up no less than 25 prisoners from the ecumenical patriarch. Investigating further, I discovered that he had, no kidding, 420 people in his court. What the hell is going on.

How is the rest of the ByzEmp doing? They could be refugees from the Muslims pushing into Anatolia and Greece. Or, if there are converts to the North that get re-conquered by the other pagans (a disturbingly likely thing to happen because the AI is terrible at converting from tribal to feudal) they could coming from there too.

On the other hand, I suspect that leaving the Karlings alone will create a web of claims and counterclaims so volatile that Europe will collapse into a generation long bloodbath.

Svithjod just conquered most of West Francia. West Francia is now mostly the Netherlands. East Francia is around, somewhere, but I can't seem to find the, I saw an East Francian revolt, maybe that took up the entire country? Middle Francia is doing something in roughly the middle of everything, but when the initial revolt that split all the Francias up happened they made the independent realm and culture maps extraordinarily ugly (because West Francia was French and Middle Francia was Frankish) so I hope they get conquered by somebody. The Buddhists are pushing out of Afghanistan and up into the steppes. Culture splitting in Iberia started, but there are almost no rulers of these melting pot cultures to help things out. Visigoths and Berbers everywhere. I'm doing pretty well in driving the Saxons from the British Isles. Things are looking good (except for France).

I just got the option to change my culture from Norse to Norwegian in my current game. Is that a good idea? I've already created the Scandivian Empire so all it seems to going to do is to make all my vassals hate me due to cultural difference.

The worst part of this game is getting incapacitated or dying when you don't have an adult heir. With a Regent in charge, you lose a ton of options, and the AI tends to do stupid things like supporting hostile factions. I just won a huge war against England to secure the last county of Wales, and then my Regent (who has a 100% opinion of my 15-year-old ruler) decided to support a movement to lower crown authority. I wish there were an option to control the Regent directly, rather than not being able to play the game the way you want.

Just make sure you pick the half of Ireland that's allied with eachother in the new start. It's really easy, especially when you can even inherit a county off the bat with a little help from , otherwise you can probably get wrecked.

the creator of VIET compares his cock events to Shakespeare quote:Although VIET isn't always quite as humorous as I make it out to be, the humor is, in my opinion, an important aspect in making the game historical and immersive for me. That is, I believe that not being stone-faced serious and epic humanizes things, and shows people the mundanity and silliness our ancestors dealt with on a day to day basis. Cock puns would probably be quite familiar to lots of people back then, and I dare say they'd probably laugh at how tame our media can be; I mean Shakespeare liberally stuffed so many penis and vagina puns and slang in his plays (that most people don't catch nowadays since we don't speak Elizabethan-era English, of course) it's just unbelievable - he certainly wouldn't have gotten away with it if he was a modern-day writer; when I learned this it really turned Shakespeare from some stuffy, intellectual stuff to the plain silliness and fun it must've been to audiences back then.

Why am I able to declare war on the Petty King of Austergautland or whatever when his son is betrothed to my daughter? When I mouse over the "Declare War" tooltip, it has "No betrothals to close relatives" as green, even though there obviously is one. Does it not count when both members of the betrothal are minors or something? It wouldn't bother me, except that means he can presumably declare war on me, and keeping him from doing that was the whole reason for the betrothal.

If I have a vassal pope and the Papacy has medium crown authority, I have to basically block foreign cardinals from the Papal seat to keep it, right? Also if I lose a Papal election would that make the Pope a foreign vassal or would the Pope just become independent again? I noticed that as long as I kill any foreign Preferatus the vassal inheritance warning goes away, so I'm assuming as long as I keep doing that and stacking the College I'll keep control of it, but I wanted to make sure I wasn't wasting a bunch of cash and effort on it.

Under Tanistry, who gets my demense when I die? It is the Tanist, or my blood heir? Trying to avoid another situation like my Spanish Elective where the capital kept ping-ponging around every time there was a succession.

You can mouse over your county title icons and it will tell you the order of succession. Wouldn't surprise me if the tanist only gets the duchy.

I kind of hope they make it to 1453.

I hosed something up and I need to console out, but I keep getting UNKNOWN COMMAND fired back at me. What's the correct syntax for taking a title? neither 'give_title count_of_devon 603614' nor 'give_title county_of_devon 603614' seem to be working.

Don't take my word as gospel but I'm pretty sure once you vassalize the Papacy it stays vassalized unless someone frees it from your grasp via warfare, regardless of the nationality of the next Pope.

I'm looking to get back into the game, can someone run down real quick what Charlemagne did to make seasons matter for warfare? I googled around and all I saw was that attrition gets boosted in winter; is that it or are there reasons not to attack during winter too?

It's just attrition, but be aware the attrition is extreme in Normal Winter, and gods help you if it's Severe Winter. It makes sieges a serious pain in the rear end. There's also a Winter Soldier trait that significantly lessens the effect and is pretty drat desirable if you're playing in Scandinavia.

I'll create the kingdom of whatever, and later on get bored and resign. It'll only show rulers back to the first king, and not any of the dukes/counts before him.

I started the game in 769 as the Strategos of Trebizond and 35 years later I get elected emperor by sheer luck and timing. The empire of Francia also got inherited by a member of my dynasty (no idea how that happened) and after I reconquered Jerusalem the Orthodox holy order popped up only to be vassalized by the French emperor before I get the chance to do anything...  Is there any way to steal the Holy Order away from him?
