CK2+ has kept up a fairly consistent update schedule since Charlemagne was announced (and in fact we released a new version yesterday that adds some new diplomatic interactions to the faction system, among other things).

If I wanted to mod the converter now, what would I need to do? The files used to be in the common folder, and it was easy to replicate that, but now it looks like it's in the DLC folder all zipped up? Where do I put the files? Edit: vv Yes, and lots of it. catlord fucked around with this message at 19:14 on Feb 4, 2015 |

I wonder if there's any official history leading up to the Lux Invicta starting point. And if anyone else has obtained these mods without the PI forums.

My firstborn son with the lovely stats just asked me to allow him to become a monk, paving the way for his genius younger brother to inherit everything (primogeniture). Something will go terribly wrong, won't it?

I got fed up of the constant infighting between France, Middle Francia, Germany, Aquitaine and Burgundy. Mostly over France land, and mostly involving me being called in by my one-sided allies. So I invaded France. The ruler was a woman, so I found some random bum in my court with a weak claim, gave him a county in Brittany and pressed his claim. Annoyingly, despite France being a complete pushover, the Queen was married to the King of Lombardy, who kept shipping troops in. Still, the humanitarian mission is now over. The Kingdom of France is now a vassal of the Empire of Prydain. Next is the Holy War the Umayyads called over some worthless counties one of my vassals owns, and then I can see about ending Middle Francia's ceaseless requests for aid. Permanently.

Something will go terribly wrong, won't it? In my current game, for two generations now my carefully-groomed first born has died early (ish, my rulers seem to live well into their late 60s, even 70s lately), but not before having an heir himself, leaving me scrambling to groom that one before I kick the bucket, as well as having to rethink how I'm going to re-org my rapidly expanding holdings (thanks to nearly all of my neighbors being heretics - yay holy war!). So now I make sure to keep a closer on a couple more layers of heirnitude, there. And speaking of genius, early on in this game while still a Count I had an imbecile courtier show up with straight up 0 in every stat. A few months later the Queen of Aquitaine comes knocking asking to marry the guy.

The AI should be more likely to accept surrender in a war. I'm the Roman Empire and the Aztecs invaded. I'm like cool, whatever, I'm huge and can beat them in a war, but at least they'll shake poo poo up around here. Then they invaded France, and I realized that this was a good opportunity since France had recently been conquered by my vassal king of Italy (who pushed his own claim, what a dick) so I could let the Aztecs take it and weaken my annoyingly powerful superking vassal, then conquer it back for someone who isn't the King of Italy. I fought a few battles to grind down their event stacks but didn't try super hard, and so they started slowly sieging down French provinces. Warscore got up to about 80% in their favour, and they still won't accept a surrender (aka. "Give you what you want") because "Thing are certainly going my way". Like yeah, no poo poo they are, I'm letting you take as much of Fritaly as you want before I smack you around and take it back for vassal management reasons. Still, warscore is slowly ticking up as they siege more holdings so it's all good. Then they get involved in a couple more wars in Spain and Aquitaine, I think a rebellion broke out too, and they sent all their armies over there to fight what's going on there. They actually have very few armies left (I killed almost all their event troops) so purposely losing fights to them isn't really an option to make warscore decline further, and they're no longer sieging any of France so warscore is no longer increasing. They still won't accept peace, even though it would hand over France to them and leave them free to focus on their other wars. Fuckers are wise to my tricks.

vyelkin posted:The AI should be more likely to accept surrender in a war. For Invasion-style CBs specifically, the AI is annoyingly unlikely to accept surrenders early because it's going for the bonus prize of "getting to replace as many vassals as it can post-war", like a player usually will. It should probably have noticed all the other wars it was involved in, though. I wonder if tweaking the peace acceptance weights on that CB will change its behaviour noticably? edit: beaten, but yeah, that's how they think. There's a section in the CB files that's called "ai_victory_weight" or something like that which somehow (it is not entirely clear) influences how the AI treats peace proposals for each CB.

I won the Holy War against Africa (who had the bizarre idea of fighting a war for Tunis by invading the British Isles) and then, while I was in the process of fighting the Umayyads, I managed to capture a surprise... My Antichrist Genius half-brother who'd previously been banished for leading an army against me. He's now locked in my dungeon while I decide what to do. Part of me wants to release him so he can go back to being a slightly incompetent villain. On the other hand, he did kill one of our brothers and I'm not sure I can let that stand.

Yeah, I'm sure this is it, but they should probably recognize how much damage I've already done to their army and how much more damage I could do with the army ten times their size if I really wanted to, and accept the peace so that they can focus on their other wars.

Is there a way to tell when the various moral-authority-increasing events will expire (without manually keeping track of everything on a piece of paper or whatever)? I've been trying to reform the Zun for decades, but whenever I get MA close to 50% a few county-conquest or temple bonuses expire and I'm back down in the mid-low 40s.

Grouchio posted:I wonder if there's any official history leading up to the Lux Invicta starting point. Per their wiki, its basically a set of alt-condition butterfly wings that lead to maximum diversity with a catalyst point of Constantine going MIA at Milvian Bridge: quote:-The worship of Sol Invictus became the official religion of the Roman Empire and remained so in the East - where Imperial authority remained strong initially. Christianity did not gain a lasting foothold in most Roman controlled Eastern Mediterranean. The Eastern Empire became very anti-Christian. Unfortunately though as of last week the latest Lux Invicta build crashes to desktop when you start a new game.

I've just been reading a Dwarf Fortress LP, and I'm wondering if anyone's done a CK2 succession LP. I would imagine it'd be kind of fun, but I've never seen a succession game for CK2 on these forums. I assume you'd set some minimum times for play length since changing every ruler might lead to extremely short turns for some of the players, but is there anything that makes it a bad idea?

Things seem to have been going fairly well, though there are the typical delays that come with being on a waiting list for ages and suddenly being told that your turn is up and you're not ready because you've got other poo poo to do.

After having their event troops smashed, the Aztecs married a bunch of Indian women, whose children then promptly went Jewish. Now they're slowly holy-warring the rest of Africa under the Aztec banner. I think they're heading for Jerusalem. I have no idea how any of that happened. I don't think it should even be possible in the game mechanics, but I wish them the best of luck. Godspeed you history-breaking weirdos. The Golden Horde and the Ilkhanate wasted all their time fighting each other, and lost all their event troops before they could do anything useful. It's just those two and the Seljuks having a great big slapfight out on the Steppes now, but nobody has the manpower required to actually get anything done. First time I've played a game and actually got around to the hordes arriving, and they kind of sucked. Here's hoping the Timurids can make more of an impression.

So this isn't exactly a CK2 question, but do you guys have any good books you'd like to recommend about this time period? I am getting into the whole Carolingian Renaissance deal, and I'd like to read more about it! Also any good books about medieval Europe / the church in general would be nice too! Thanks!

A World Lit Only By Fire is a good idea of where society is probably heading at the end of the game, and talks a lot about the power of the Church and the... proclivities of some of Europe's monarchs (it turns out they played the game about how most of us do) but its subject is very much the Renaissance as opposed to the Middle Ages. So I guess I'd appreciate any good recommendations on the period(s) the game covers too! American education has left more gaps than not.

The Fourth Crusade and the Sack of Constantinople by Jonathan Phillips is a pretty good read, although it deals more with the politics of the era rather than the church (which is fitting, since the Crusades themselves were nearly 100% politically motivated anyway)

I'm playing as the Rurikids in the Old Gods start, and I had a pretty awesome firstborn heir, attractive, quick, great stats and traits, 23 loving Martial score, who loving got his stupid rear end killed in battle literally three months after he assumed the throne, in a completely routine subjugation war against an unimportant minor independent county in Finland. His replacement is his lovely brother, titled 'the Lewd', who is attractive, lustful, gregarious, a master of seduction with a trail of bastard children and spurned lovers throughout Holmgardr...and dumb as a loving post, with no Martial, Stewardship, Intrigue, or Learning to speak of and just enough Diplomacy to get by. The worst part is that the awesome king's wife was, like, five months pregnant with a son, so King Useless Party Animal Manwhore takes the throne, and then a few months later, a Genius baby is born who would have been the heir, if his dad had lasted a bit longer.

Millennium: The End of the World and the Forging of Christendom is really good. It covers post-Carolingan Europe in a pretty general fashion, running up to around the Norman invasion of England. The sections talking about how fractious the French dukes and counts were under the Capets is especially relevant.
