It seems like, at some point, the soft cap at 10 living children was removed. Not sure if that's a good thing or not.

So I'm doing the Starter Scenario, and it tells me to send my chanellor to Canarias to fabricate a claim. So I go to the Council, click on Fabricate a Claim and a bunch of poo poo turns up green. I click on Canarias, which lights up -- and that's it. I waited four months, nothing happening. What did I do wrong?

There's a monthly percentage-based chance to get a claim, so it can be anything from a few days to several decades. The chance of success is directly affected by your Chancellor's diplomacy stat, so try to get a competent guy. What's the skill of yours?

For those of you who don't know, Juvenalian.Satyr is currently arranging a massive multiplayer match of CK2 set in the HRE. We've already got over 20 people! Most of the big and medium positions have been taken, but there are still quite a few independent counts and patricians left. The merchant republics of Pisa and Genoa will start out vassalized to the Emperor, and while the position of Doge has been taken for both, there's lots of unclaimed patricians. I've played as a patrician in MP before, and it's a lot of fun!

Oh he's probably working on it, it's just that forging documents and finding tenous connections is hard and time consuming without the internet. Also 11 is kinda rubbish for a councillor. There's also the slight chance that he's been bought off by the local lord, and is just pretending to be working on it, but he's probably just not that great at his job.

Well, this is the tutorial, so that may be expected. Once I get more of a hang of things, I'll play 'for realsies'

Also 11 is kinda rubbish for a councillor. So if I click on one of the green territories for doing it, I see him on my map, working away. If I click on the Canarias, I don't. So obviously, either the tutorial is telling me wrong, or I'm doing something wrong.

If you mouse over the command you're giving your councillor, it'll give you the % chance of success in a year. Just tested and 11 diplo gives you a 6% chance per year. So it's, um, not very likely; should happen on average every 16.67 years at that rate...

Volkerball posted:And you can't reform the faith until you have 100% moral authority. Holy sites provide no MA boost, but you need to control all 5. I think an earlier version of CK2+ had the reform requirements at - All holy sites - %75 MA It was pretty annoying. I can understand doing that for, like, Norse, because they're super broken. But c'mon, Slavic is barely better than %N_GENERIC_PAGANISM, why you gotta make me work so hard.

My problem is that when I tell him to go somewhere highlighted, he goes there -- whether or not he succeeds here doesn't matter. If I click on the Canarias like the tutorial tells me to, it doesn't show him there at all and the Canarias islands aren't highlighted.

The max number of trading posts you can have is based partly on how many unlanded male dynasty members are hanging around your mansion.

Gough Suppressant posted:Yes, that's why you build a trading post to make more money than he costs you. More trading posts also means a bigger trade zone. If you can create and dominate a massive zone with a lot of cities in it you make insane amounts of money. You get bonuses not only for how many pieces of the sea it covers but also for every city in a province covered by the zone. You need more posts to cover more cities.

If one of your vassals starts a plot that's really useful, is there a way to back them without having to wait for them to ask you to join in first?

It's frustrating. My spymaster keeps giving me all these plots in my kingdom, and I think "gently caress yeah. I hate that guy. Lemme in on that poo poo", but nooooooo.

What's a good way to stave off vassals of vassals rebelling? I'm running an HRE/Byzantine combined empire, and I couldn't switch the HRE title off of Gavelkind in time because uppity dukes kept rebelling against their kings. I just barely managed to keep the two empires from shattering through liberal application of excommunication and plot stabbings (vassal pope is wonderful for shutting down independence factions).

quick multiplayer question, 2 of my friends have an ongoing game, will I be able to hop in and take control of someone? Additionally, my computer often crashes, will they be able to keep playing after I've crashed ?

They have to rehost. Also, if they've been playing everyone needs to completely quit the game and rehost, or the checksums will be different

I finally get the demon child event but she's a bastard not of my dynasty. gently caress. My stupid husband hadn't knocked me up by age 38, so I sleep with some random courtier, immediately get pregnant, it's the spawn of satan, and my idiot lover legitimises her. I gave her father a county so that she can murder him and inherit it, so I can switch to playing as her, but it's been a few years now and she hasn't done anything. Tempted to just console kill the guy since I can't get a decent plot going against him.

So what decides your personal levy? My King had a 10k levy amount and when his son took over it was 8k now it is 6.5k. Also when I had my 10k levy my vassal levy was only 5k when it was 8k before I reached the 10k. It really hosed me up as I can now no longer defend against england even with all of Eire partial Alba and a few counties in Brittany.

I got this game a while ago but only just now had my first real, long, playthrough. Started out as Skåne on the Old Gods start. Sweden ended up dominating most of Scandinavia and had a lot of other stuff as well. Managed to struggle along myself and eventually formed the Kingdom of Denmark, and I also had some stuff outside that. Had just decided to convert to the Catholic faith when Sweden decided to declare war on me and I just... had no loving chance whatsoever. Got completely steamrolled. They took it all over and stuck me in the northern rear end end of Sweden with a single county. drat, got bitch-slapped pretty hard. Was a ton of fun though. Is there a like an opportune time to convert to Catholicism from being Pagan? Should I even do it? How to go about it in the best way?

I can't get the Legendary Wisdom modifier in Ironman because giving my guy a leadership focus is the equivalent of assassinating him. Which, by the way, is actually a great way of knocking off your guy if he's old and you want the next person to inherit. They die of stress about 90% of the time.

verbal enema posted:So what decides your personal levy? Your personal levy will be influenced by your Martial score, so if the son had lower martial he'll have a smaller levy. Your vassals' levy sizes are affected by how much they like you, so you'll almost always get less vassal troops if you've just inherited than on an old king who's reigned for a long time, unless you have some weird circumstance where your old king has all the bad traits and your new one is a saintly genius.
