Elias_Maluco posted:Enabling, sure. "absolute crown authority" enables "imperial law", but it does not makes it automatically approved, you have to select and get it approved. This is the exception. If you adopt imperial administration, you will automatically enact duchy viceroyalties. The other thing is a bug. You should have given out the duchies as viceroyalties, and upon the death of their holders they should have returned to you. That should clear out the bug and enable you to grant them normally. Or you can try to destroy the titles and recreate them, though that's admittedly not a very pleasant workaround.

Is there one standout DLC or is it a matter of preference? I'm tempted by both Way of Life and The Old Gods.

Those two are the best IMO, but if you mean to play Christian rulers I'd also suggest Sons of Abraham which fleshes out a lot of stuff for Christians, and be sure to grab Legacy of Rome to have retinues (a standing army you buy and stays around until totally destroyed, and costs money to reinforce when they take losses). The rest depends on your preferences : wanna be Indian? Rajas of India. Wanna be a muslim? Sword of Islam. Wanna be filthy rich? The Republic.

I noticed that they were smaller than I remembered, but they're still a standing army that you can bring to the enemy doorstep and declare war right? In the early game as a smallish ruler, that's insanely powerful.

They are still good, but you can get a lot less men for your retinue points, meaning that you can't have retinues of the same size of your entire realm levies. And they cost a lot more upkeep, and even cost money to maintain if they are at full strength. They can still be very useful but they are simply no longer the overpowered "I-win" button that they were before. Does anybody remember the good times when each retinue regiment created would also create a lowborn commander with martial education? You never lacked for people without dynasty to land, and you always had competent military commanders, especially if you had a large retinue.

Didn't notice the cost at full strength, kind of a bummer but hey, you gotta be very rich to have a private army after all.

The steam workshop now lets you add required DLC for mods which is rather nice. However because of the sheer number of dlcs CK2 has it breaks the interface. It only has 10 spots and they are all randomly assigned and mixed with the gfx ones.marktheando posted:This is what the master race has been reduced to. Accusing people of being butthurt.

beefart posted:Looks like the guy who does VIET events found a new obsession: pissing. Just marvelous. I want to believe that he came up with powdered deer penis on his own, but apparently it's a minor reference to Oblivion. Given that there's already several references to Oblivion in VIET, it seems like a plausible explanation. Also, I find that that guy has an obsession with these stupid "a minor thing happened, lose 1 prestige/gain 2 piety/whatever" events. They're all over the god drat place, and they really irritated me back when I was still using VIET. I presume it's even worse now, with many more minor events to complement the massive cock events and the toothbrushing events and the omelette events and god knows what the gently caress else. The only thing that ever positively surprised me about the VIET events is the Ultima event chain. As a sidenote, Wikipedia has an article on deer penis. I never knew this, and I do now. I wish I didn't. Apparently, it's a thing in traditional Chinese medicine.

Otherwise use the console to give the antipope's bishopric to the pope, which will then end the anti-papacy, and then immediately grant it to the former antipope's top liege. (Likelier than not he will simply set up a new antipope, though.)

My plan for a turkish buddhist game just got a lot less exciting now that I know the difference between 'invasion' and 'horde' cultures. How's the Zunist content? I never really considered it as the Zunbils proper, but conquering my way down there as tengri turks then converting through a concubine sounds like a much better time, especially if I get to keep Tribal Invasion.

A pain in the rear end to reform because all you get are lovely single county conquests and you can't convert worth a drat. Other than that slight issue its actually pretty good I guess? Letting the Abassids repeatedly march their armies into your zunist provinces to die under glorious Lord Zuns fiery gaze before smashing whats left of them is pretty awesome. Good luck getting more zunist provinces though. That pagan penalty to conversion is pretty overkill.

And the Unbelievers are the Abassids and Indian subcontinent religions. Most of them tied up in a small handful of large powerful kingdoms. You can do a pretty good business with those, but you're gonna need *20* individual county conquests in a relatively short span of time. My current game as them has gone about as well as possible and at one point I had 47 MA, but that was with three failed holy wars against me and gobbling up Khiva and Baluchistan when they broke from the Abassids. You pretty much *have* to conquer Baghdad which takes awhile even under ideal circumstances. On the other hand you're allowed Ultimogeniture and have some wicked sick defensive bonuses so you're chances of eventually taking Baghdad if you don't gently caress up are pretty good. I'm hoping thate rear end in a top hat Ayudha dies soon. Four kindom titles with gavelkind and a boatload of kids. Nomnomnom. Schizotek fucked around with this message at 21:07 on Mar 20, 2015 |

So even after hours of playing this game I'm still a complete noob and have a question. I'm playing as the Duke of Upper Lorraine, vassal to the Kaiser. The Kaiser just instituted medium crown authority, which means I can't have fun warring on other HRE vassals anymore, so instead I fabricated a claim on a neighboring county over the border in France. Is there any way I can press this claim and get the Kaiser to help out, since it'll add to his land as well? And if the Kaiser decides to go to war with France for some other reason (he seems to like doing this), can I declare my own war on France as well while they're preoccupied, or is that not allowed? Is that even a good idea if I can do it?

Is that even a good idea if I can do it? Basically, the way it works is like this - these are the ways you're getting that land: 1) The Kaiser declares war on France over your claim. If he wins, you get the land. 2) You declare war on France yourself. If you win, you get the land. 1) is of course the optimal solution, as you don't need to do poo poo, but you can raise your levies to help out if you want to anyway. Alternatively, if the Kaiser goes to war with France for some other reason, you can declare your own separate war over the land in question and take it - if you can win the war. If the Kaiser smashes up France's levies, this is simple, and is in fact a very good idea. But if he assault-spams his way through the war and leaves most of the levies alive, tread carefully. Always remember to check the levies your opponent has.

Deceitful Penguin posted:Their inability to raid loving shatters them. It is, no joke, way loving easier to reform them as tribals just because you can raid, which is so rear end backwards that I don't even know. Except that your tribal vassals never drat well raid for some baffling reason so if you want to get them to do it you have to console over to them while the computer fucks around with your main country, giving counties to idiots and cutting of its own head. Since they're feudal that heavy infantry bonus is crazy good. I hold roughly three kingdoms worth of territory and can build a whopping three horse retinues. Whoopy dippy doo. But when I bring 10000 troops down on the Caliphs dick like a sledgehammer, that heavy infantry bonus is loving amazing.
