Weird that something as glaring as that hasn't become a running gag here. First time I've heard of it, at least. An unrelated question: As a feudal king, I cannot grant king-level titles to republics, right? Is there a way to change this in the defines-file?

It's been an issue in Paradox games all the way back to Europa Universalis 1, their projections consistently put the Caspian too far south, messing up the Caucasus and Middle East pretty bad. Admittedly it is less bad with Rajas.

At some point there will be a generation of Paradox Devs who got their geographic knowledge from previous Paradox titles and the mistakes will be baked in. Jean Baudrillard will smile from beyond the grave.

A common problem faced by cartographers is accounting for the curb of the Earth. Most map makers find ways to fudge it a bit while keeping everything as accurate as possible. Paradox just says gently caress it and takes a sledgehammer to buff it out.

That Caspian Sea thing has largely been fixed, although I can't recall which big DLC/patch marks when that came through. Rajas of India, probably. What gets me is that some of the Balkans is still wonky, just in terms of geography-- the County of Pest, for example, marks the location of old Budapest, as its capital is Pest and basically yeah it's Budapest. Now, geography quiz question for you all: What river does Budapest sit on? The Danube! What river does Pest sit on in CK2? Not the Danube! I've been tooling around with Late Roman stuff a bit more recently, and trying to match up names with places in CK2, and then comparing where the old Roman city was on a map with where its medieval counterpart is in CK2, really throws me for a loop sometimes.

When you have a bunch of units in the same province, how do you bring up the screen that displays them all and has the merge option? I've had it come up a few times but I don't know how. I've been playing for dozens of hours and I'm still attaching all the units together manually.

Hold down the left mouse key and drag a box over all of them.

Oh really? It must either be an invisible box or I turned it off in the menu. Or I'm just an idiot who never thought to do the most obvious thing. Anyway thanks.

Just as a heads up because everyone plays this game forever before realizing it, you can do the same thing and select just boats by holding alt.

So I'm playing CK2 for the first time and started an early campaign as the pagan High Chief of Satakunta with the goal of creating the Kingdom of Finland, but I have no idea how the hell I'm going to amass the required amount of wealth for that stuff. There is no trade income and all my counties and neighbours are poor as poo poo, so conquering or raiding for loot or extra taxes doesn't really help that much. Also looks like giving my Chief the "lustful" trait and taking three concubines and a lover or two was a really bad idea.

I'm shuffling through the Challenge Generator over at http://www.scenariogenerator.net/ at the moment. I wonder how possible this is: Starting Duchy Krete Restrictions Whenever your spouse cheats, seduce their lover's spouse Goals Acquire the Necronomicon Befriend your liege, and then assassinate him Become a Administrator Seduce a bishop Have 30 martial

Was playing a greek / jewish doge of venice because I wanted to reclaim the holy land and wanted cataphracts. Suddenly around 100 years in everyone on the map went hostile. All armies were showing up as red. I wasn't at war with anyone. Also my own retinue counted as raiding Venice so my income was nuked. I have no idea how any of this happened.

It's a known bug, saving and reloading should fix it.

The best way to make money as a tribal is to take up the business focus assuming you have way of life, but you have to reform the faith before you can convert. Pagan tribal trying to turn feudal is the hardest start in the game not taking neighbors into account. And yeah, gavelkind. Don't do that.

Has child education been changed in a patch? I have no wards, but for some reason I can't select my duke as his grandson's mentor.

There are lots of already existing map projections that don't distort stuff as badly as the Paradox one. Why don't they just pick the one that distorts the playable area the least, and use that? Not that this is something that bothers me at all, it's just weird.

Councillors who gets assigned to do whatever in some county can't become tutors but they can be tutors, so just resign from the council, choose the duke as the kid's educator, then hope your liege lets you back into the board meeting.

Why don't they just pick the one that distorts the playable area the least, and use that? The map Pdox use is probably one for gameplay purposes, and has some valid reason for existing, such as to make provinces good enough sizes to click on or something like that. For example, Eu is awful to try and click on, especially if you have an army plopped on there. Imagine if that was the case across the map. That is just one valid excuse I can find for map distortion. Just to make the game function more smoothly. However, thing just outright being wrong, such as Pest being on the wrong river, is dumb.

As the duke of 1066 Tuscany, I've managed to create the kingdom of sicily (though the Byzantines grabbed a few bits too). I can't war my northern neighbors due to crown law. How do you expand inside the hre, lots of marriages and stabbings? I assumed it be like eu4 where I could just jump my neighbors when I get claims.

Succession is a lot more interesting until you manage to either get an empire built or change crown laws over. Considering your guy should inherit the choice bits it should be as simple as asking your brothers for vassalization or immediately go around pressing claims to reunite your stuff.

I installed my anti pope as the one true pope and the empire of Francia has their own anti pope. Except that the anti pope is vassal of a duke and not the emperor. How can I get rid of them? They are tanking my moral authority.

Anyone do a decent amount of modding? I've been trying to make a decision to help me set up custom scenarios for EU4 but everytime I trigger it via console it doesn't show a button to click on. I've had it with text on the area that usually describes the event but I removed it to see if it would cause the button to pop up. I've tried a lot of things and consulted a few guides but I haven't found it yet.

Or hope he doesn't. Being on your liege's council is a nuisance that doesn't gain you anything but a negligible amount of prestige. But if you've got the highest of any one stat in the realm then your liege is going to relentlessly spam you with council requests until you give in.
