Okay, I need some diplo-expert help here. Here is Britain:  Ireland is a Tanistry ruled by my dynasty. England (AI renamed it 'Sasana' for some reason) is a Gavelkind ruled by my dynasty. Wales is an Elective with the current leader matrilineally married into my dynasty but their leader is loving absolutely everybody except his wife and I have no dynasty members up for vote. The Duke of Ulster invaded Wales twice for I-honestly-have-no-idea and managed to take two counties. Screencap's from between those two wars. England has also snatched up all those errant Southern realms and is currently fighting Wales for the two counties in its De Jure kingdom. I picked up one Scottish county in a holy war, and I've got a bunch of Scottish nobles hanging around my court with claims I can press from county to kingdom level, but they're all already married and have a bunch of their own kids/heirs lined up. Everybody is Aquitaine-Cognatic. How do I get everything together to form the Empire of Brittania? Ideally as Ireland, since Dublin has ridiculous technology right now so I don't want to move capitals, and because I want to try and install an empire-wide tanistry succession.

Played the Birthright mod. I highly recommend it if you like D&D or fantasy. Chose one of the gnoll nations, raided the gently caress out of my neighbours. Captured a couple guys. Castrated them because I'm evil and they wanted to get married or were lustful and it seemed like the right choice at the time. Was such an awesome dude that several fights went with no casualties for me. The elves can suck it.

Goddamnit Karl, this is the worst I've seen him do yet All 3 of those revolts are middle Franciscan. I don't even know what the hell is going on with Bohemia, all I know is that Karl never touched the Saxons.

Does it have a Game of Thrones or Project Balance-style duel engine built-in? These days I can hardly imagine playing a mod without it.

Haha, I tried hunting to keep my Patrician alive long enough to turn the election around and are the hunting buddies supposed to spawn without education? Seems a tad, strange, to be honest.

Seems a tad, strange, to be honest. Yeah, it's weird. They're the only event characters in the game that spawns without an education trait, which leads me to believe it's an unintended bug. Then again, I've gotten hunting buddies with 20 martial before, so they could theoretically get pretty insane if they spawned with, say, brilliant strategist.

I was trying to play a dynasty game where I play as England and attempt to spew my seed all over the world but I have run into a bit of a snag. I defeated the HRE and became the HRE Emperor which is great since I can now place one of my kinsmen on the throne but I don't know how to do this and revert myself back to the independent king of England. Is my only choice to grant England independence? I'm playing on ironman so no console tricks.

You could give another family member the Kingdom titles under the HRE, grant him independence with near complete control of the De jure HRE, and he'd probably usurp your empire title. Alternatively, get a second imperial title, like Britannia, and you can then grant the HRE to someone else.

Yo, those ridiculous troop numbers in WTWSMS aren't strictly speaking a bug. They're a side effect of the migration mechanics. You spawn troops for every province you own, and they never go away. Messing around I was able to accumulate around 30 trillion dudes over the course of seven migrations from the deep steppe to Spain. It's so broken that even the AI is capable of abusing it in its own muddled way (then again, they also seem to leave those troops lying around on neighboring counties for decades at a time, so they sometimes never wind up actually using them to fight anyone.) I'm not even certain how anyone looked at that CB as it stands and thought "yeah this seems okay", even for a preliminary version. forkis fucked around with this message at 13:15 on Jan 24, 2015 |

Are there any unique events/modifiers you can get as possessed if you're not playing as a Christian? I know you can get the "voice of Jesus/Satan", but I think that might be Unique to Christians.

It would be far too easy to imprison anyone you don't like this way - grant them some backwater barony, make them "independent", instantly crush them with 10s of thousands of troops in a De Jure War.

This happens to the AI frequently enough that characters killed in duels will still go on living half-lives were they're as brain-dead as the AI was when the levy bug was around.

Another question about these Muslims. Now as this other guy my PIety seems to be falling for no reason that I can tell. I'm not sure what's doing it. It's over 1000 one minute then it's down to 797. What in the world is going on here?

As a Norse ruler, is there anything besides reformation that I need to do to change succession laws? I reformed but gavelkind is still the only option. Do I need to be have a certain level of CA, or be feudal? Primogeniture, elective, etc aren't even listed on the laws screen.

Does imprisoning people cost Piety? It doesn't say as far as I know but sometimes I have to imprison my decadent relatives. edit: Changing laws could have done it also but I only have done that once as this guy and I swear it's happened more than that.

Trying a start as a non-marrying Seductor. I currently have something like 48 children. At one point, both Karl and Karloman's wives were my lovers, except Karl's died in childbirth about a day before Karl croaked it. The problem with having so many children is that I accidentally married my daughter with my son (recognised by his mother's husband) and they had an Inbred child. But at least he's Attractive! I've legitimised a very impressive Son, but there's still some serious regression-to-the-mean going on. My biggest hope is that I can somehow get alliances with anyone even remotely threatening to my little corner of the world.

So I guess this may be a loaded question, but, all things being equal: which starting date do you guys find yourselves going back to? I myself am of the opinion that the original 1066 dates are the way to go. Things are a bit less blobby, there are decidedly less Karlings, and I feel like the good people at Paradox took the longest time balancing this (these) starting dates over all the others that have come subsequently. I suppose an argument could be made for the Old God's date, but I am not a Viking kind of player so I have never really given it much of a chance! I am super boring and like to play as Catholics, so living under the Karling Family Clowncar tends to get old after a while.
