I think for my next run I am going to use a custom-modded version of CK2+ and aim for making an Empire-level Celtic Pagan republic.

I've had some weird bugs in my current game. 1. I conquered the county of Rome and gave it to a vassal, but it went back to the Pope. This happened again later when I conquered Spoleto under a ducal claim for a vassal, and it went back to the Holy Roman revolt for no apparent reason. 2. I had the option of moving a prisoner into house arrest or putting her in an oubliette. I chose the latter, but my ruler ended up getting the -20 Diplomacy and -2 health instead of her. 3. The same ruler ended up getting wounded in battle despite the fact that he wasn't leading any troops at the time. In fact, I didn't have any levies raised at all.

Uggghhh, why did Lombardy pass out of my kingdom when my vassal in Tripoli inherited it? He was even family! I thought that as an emperor, he would stay under me. UGH. Well, everyone else is hosed anyhow so we'll just focus on taking the Abbs apart to counter Shiite Mesapotamia and tag team the U-mads with Aquitane. Also: I realized it too late but you can delay or even shut down any attempts at reforming Tengri if you just take Crimea. Getting another Holy site is too hard without it in the middle. Hadaka Apron posted:I've had some weird bugs in my current game. 1. The pope asked your guy if he could have it back. If he's christian, he probs said yes. Maybe. 2. This is a known bug. 3. No idea. Are you sure you weren't leading troops under a liege lord?

How do you guys mitigate a gavelkind succession. I've been trying to play Leon, which is a lot fun right up until the king dies. Its really fun and exciting but when he kicks the bucket eventually I get a lot of factions fast and the inevitably an invasion. Thing is I can't get out of gavelkind because I have to take medium law to take high law to qualify for primogeniture so everything depressingly collapses inward fast. What do you guys do after you build an empire or a kingdom strong enough to support even a not so great heir? I made Britania at one point, took over the majority of France and the game just crawled to a halt because I couldn't generate casus at a decent speed. Also is there a way to blunt the Holy Roman empire. They start enormous when everyone is small and for as long as I've been playing they've just been this huge loving monolith I absolutely can't piss off and have zero interest in playing and they just expand. Also are the crazier character events dlc related. I only had one once when my guy got syphilis, went loving nuts and tried to make a horse chancellor (effect you fired him)

You can still go Ultimogeniture or Elective. Elective is dangerous in the early game if your dynasty is not well entrenched, but Ultimo is always better than Gavelkind despite its issues. I deal with the HRE by using the console to split it up before beginning to play. Short of that, no, there's nothing you can do about it. Sometimes it'll collapse from within after a few hundred years. More often it doesn't. Same is true of the Byzantines and especially the Muslim megablobs.

Lol I guess that could work if I don't do my usual thing of divorcing my wife if one with better stats come along and the youngest child is old enough to take over when the time comes. I'll give that a shot.

You can try gaming Gavelkind by taking Seduction focus, cranking out a bunch of bastards and then legitimizing the first one that looks good and only that one. Marry an old woman for the stats but make sure her Intrigue is low (she is going to hate your guts and will gleefully join all plots against you).

I've had a nice little castration game going on with a line of Byzantine empresses with paranoid, low-intrigue husbands.

I kind of gambled in the curent game taking a second wife after the first one produced only one son but the stats were off the hook good and the original son was kind of useless and now has great pox, that moron. At some point when things settle down I'm going to send the low diplomacy mooks I don't want to fabricate claims against the Byzantine empire or with small armies to help out allies if I can figure out how to get them in that way. On that note how do you attach a specific guy to lead an army? Goofballs fucked around with this message at 03:51 on Apr 29, 2015 |

Is there a vassal opinion penalty for having a female ruler? In my Byzantine game, I somewhat foolishly forgot to look at my wife's age before I married her because she was a genius and my guy was a genius so I figured I'd get a bunch of genius kids but I only got a genius daughter before the wife got too old to crank out a son. The daughter has really nice stats though. I divorced the wife and remarried but I'm kind of scared I'll get a useless son.

That said if when it happens most of your kingdom only dislikes you then just bribe them all out of their negative modifier and pick up the cash given out in taxes over the next year. Otherwise if they hate you a lot just try to make sure you still can get a loan for some mercenaries and instead of bribing everyone just wait for the inevitable revolt with vast cash reserves.

Now if you're a female ruler with the Attractive trait it's awesome. Until you turn 45.Goofballs posted:I kind of gambled in the curent game taking a second wife after the first one produced only one son but the stats were off the hook good and the original son was kind of useless and now has great pox, that moron.

Probably the most reliable way to get an unwanted son killed is make him court chaplain and send him off to try to convert some heathens. To change your army's leaders, click on the army and then on any of the names listed as the flank leaders. Note that if you're on minimum crown authority (or are an independent duke/count with no crown authority) you can't change leaders.

Cheers, it might work out next time. The very chaste couple produced a remarkable amount of kids so I went elective like you said because that would have been a lot of suicide missions and it looks like its going to pay off, just waiting for my guy to die off. He's 67 and I've been hanging out a bit so I don't start the spawn in some war. ha at the age of 69 hes getting hitched again to a nearby queen who's running Galacia. I was going to take it over ages ago but gavelkind kingdoms seemed like a loving headache I didn't need. I guess he died on the first night doing what he loved. Anad amazingly the vassals all love the new guy. Guess they feel like they dodged a bullet with pox prince Goofballs fucked around with this message at 05:47 on Apr 29, 2015 |

I can't think of a better place to ask this, so here goes: Saudi Arabia just had a change in succession laws. Previously they had leaned towards Agnatic Seniority, but now what would you call it? Appointment? Tanistric appointment? Selective ex-post facto Purpling?

Due to these choices having to be approved by an Allegiance Council (itself made up of senior members of the royal family) it sounds like its closest analogue would be tanistry. E: I really wanted to say they're like a merchant republic (well, monarchy) because that'd be perfect for a rentier state, but alas

Born in the purple is title-locked rather than by province, so as long as you're byzantium/roman empire, you have it. That being said, Constantinople is probably still a far better capital. Rome is nice to have in your demesne though!

Coming up with dynastic names for Visigothic Kings is tough. Looks like I'm going to have to stick with "af [insert location here]" and friends. Unless anyone else knows the dynastic names of Visigothic Kings after the Balti dynasty.

The opposite of fun. The HRE is a megablob that sits there, some games gobbling France and other games gobbling Poland and so on, but either way is ultrastable for centuries. Seeing strange new developments makes the game interesting for me.
