Strudel Man: May 19, 2003; ROME DID NOT HAVE ROBOTS, FUCKWIT

Coward posted:

I don't have WoL yet, so could it be some kind of interaction with WoL events chaining into pre-WoL events? I'm trying to remember it now. I think something got tangled somewhere where there was the standard event to fall in love with your wife, but then the cheating ones started firing afterwards, with my wife discovering my "affair." I've even managed to have my wife be simultaneously my lover and my rival, since the events appear to treat the same person as two different ones.

I'll keep an eye out for it and if it happens again I'll try and post the details.

Probably an old one not converted properly. Looks like they just set the new ones to fire if you own the dlc, and the old ones to fire otherwise. I'll skim lovers_events.txt.

edit: Jesus, there's supposed to be an event to refresh the trade route you can get with the business focus, the one that gives a tax bonus to your capital. An error(?) in the code was keeping it from firing.

Or, wait, no, I guess that...should be working? I've never seen that event, though. Hm. Something's wrong.

edit2: Works in testing. It's after 30 years - maybe I just never had a ruler set up a route and then live long enough. Or maybe 'years' is an invalid command to set a time for an event to occur in the future. Actually, I bet it's the latter. I'll change that to a days value.

Huh. I successfully put an EU4 mod on the steam workshop earlier, but I cannot for the life of me seem to figure out how to do so for CK2.

My efforts to figure out how have only led me to the steam subscriber agreement, which doesn't seem breathtakingly pertinent.

edit: Nevermind. Found it. In the game proper.

Grant viceroyalties to Content characters to get around the vassal limit and have happy kings. Good luck getting SPQR, though: mending the Schism and forming the Empire is pretty fun and challenging, but restoring Trajan's borders are really kind of a slog.

You will have to make Kings, Mega-Dukes tend to either get so large they become Kings, or they split up into dukes again.
King vassals no longer have an opinion malus, so there's less of a reason not to make them.
Viceroys would hypothetically help here, if it weren't for the fact that they revert to feudal titles during revolts.
At least as the Byzantines you start with Imperial Administration though, which gives you a vassal cap boost.

I generally select for Vassal opinion after becoming Empire sized, since if all your vassals are willing to pay harsh taxes, you get ridiculous money, which you can use on Retinues or mercenaries, while keeping your vassals happy for not using their troops.

Of course, my achievement run for getting SPQR started with the Mongols, heading to India, becoming Jain, then Tribal Invasioning the world until I got Khan of Khans before settling down in Constantinople and re-creating the Roman Empire.

Booted the game in observer mode from the Charlemagne start. It's 830 and the Kingdom of Italy is led by a paranoid lunatic and his possessed wife, both craven. I guess there's never a boring minute in their castle with the royal couple hiding under the beds at the sound of their own voices. And then the Jews come to ask for their 350 back.
... Oh, the prince, 46, is also craven. ... Now he's inherited and started by telling the Jews to get out. Calls his wife unfaithful harlot.

Meanwhile the king of Pictland claims to own a holy relic, but is also deceitful and humble. Hmm... And the only Catholic in Iberia is the independent count of Santiago, who is really stressed over it.

I actually know this one, since I fixed it for CK2+.

edit: never mind, you did get it in the end. I think your method should also do it, though I picked a different condition when I fixed it.

Awesome job. Do you mind if I compatch/incorporate this into Plus with credit? Looking at your changelog, there are a few that would be incompatible with ours if the two Workshop mods ran alongside, so let me know if I should fold it in or just give you a compatibility patch to upload somewhere.

This is going on my long list of reasons why this game is so loving amazing. Sorry, I just got this game during the Christmas sale and just been enamored with it. I tried playing HoI2, Vic and EU3; all without getting into any of these games. I gambled, got the CK2 and the DLC for that 7.50 sale and never regretted it. I know this games been out for years and lots of you all have been playing it for just as long, but man I just want to gush over how fun this game is; it's a refreshing gaming experience for me and I'm desperately trying to get my friend addicted to it as well.

Once you run out of easy India targets, I like to head up to the steppes. Subjugate the big one, then conquest the small ones. Hand them off to older sons, with the more competent getting more of them. Also helps that you can build temples there, but really, aside from the 3 holy sites and hoping you get hindu or buddhist holy warred (good luck winning a sunni holy war) thems about it.

And those free troops are their holy order. Learn to check to see if they're not being hired out by someone else before you declare war or just strike when they in the middle of other wars. Defending in the mountains can also help a bunch if you find yourself outnumbered. Hope you picked up good soldier traits!

He probably recently lost a bunch of his troop cap from either losing territory in a war or some other event/succession, but he still has a whole load of troops raised from the previous cap. Happens quite frequently if a ruler dies in the middle of a war and a bunch of their territory gets redistributed.

You're probably right, although I'm positive he was just sitting there for years and years with just 1 county and 2 vassals.

It is correct for yesterday's patch, yeah, and that patch didn't break compatibility. (I was literally playing the dev version this morning before I left for work.)

Which OS are you using? Are there any leftover cache files (particularly map or gfx caches) from vanilla in your Documents/Paradox/CK2 directory (or whatever weird place your OS puts such things - they'd be the other subfolders to the parent of your save game folder.) I assume you were installing new, not upgrading.

I don't know if anything like that would be the cause, but this crash is somehow unique to you so I am grasping at straws. If you have PMs, PM me if you want to continue this convo and I'll poke at it once I'm home from work and have access to an install. (alternatively I am Fall of Stars on the Paradox forums, but frankly you are more likely to get hold of me here - the rest of the team is more present on Steam Workshop comments and the Paradox forums.)
