How do you change your main title to the Fylkrite or w/e. My game I've been him since twenty years after the 769 start and I'm still Svibold

Not what he did, but if you get it while still a duke you can also switch it to your primary title then use the "Create new Kingdom" (and then later Empire) decisions

You could also just rename the title of your choice to Awesomeland or whatever you want, with the customizer.

What's on your mind, Axa?

The Cheshire Cat posted:

Yeah the issue with the "holy order forms in (year) by taking an empty holding in (county)" is that with the earlier start dates, the odds of there being an empty holding to take are extremely slim. You will probably never see the Assassins form if you start from the Old Gods or Charlemange start dates unless you personally control Dailam and keep a slot open, because while their form date was reasonable for the original start date, with the earlier starts 200-300 years will pass in game before you reach it. It's fairly unlikely there are going to be empty holdings ANYWHERE by that point.

The Jomsvikings one is really random too - it doesn't go by "at least one of these three counties needs to be controlled by a Germanic character and have an open holding", it goes by "one of these three counties will be picked at random, and if it is held by a Germanic character and has an open holding in 950, then the Jomsvikings will form. Assuming the owner of the county doesn't refuse their request to move in."

It just happened to me in my Charlemagne start Cornwall game. They formed in Poland, because against all odds Poland had grabbed one of the spawn points but still had a Germanic vassal sitting there.

Groogy, can a minor feature be added? Right now the only way to add culture-based localisation for titles is to add each culture and new name individually. Could it also be set to use a culture group?

By titles do you mean the king, emperor etc.? If so, the answer is yes. Sultan, Emir etc. are for the Arabic culture group rather than specific cultures like Bedouin.

You can do the same for that as well, but I haven't done it myself so don't take my word on that.

You can also have names for landed titles or rank titles based on religion too, but not a mix of culture and religion.

I've recently come into quite a bit of land due to a successful crusade but the option to ask one of my council to distribute it isn't appearing. I've used the console to switch to them to see what is up, and the option to offer appears but can't be selected. It says someone else has already offered to assist me in handing my titles out. Letting the game run for a bit doesn't have any sort of pop up happen. What is the Event ID to type in to get one of my councilors to do this for me? I can only find the IDs for this from the councilor's perspective.

ROME DID NOT HAVE ROBOTS, FUCKWIT
Odd. Normally I have a decent grasp on how the scripting works, but I can't seem to figure out why I can't create a faction to install myself as Byzantine emperor, as the ruler of a vassal republic. The empire is under feudal elective and I also have a weak claim - I can make factions for other people, but not for myself.

There's nothing in the qualifying code that really leaps out at me as likely.
code:
	new_character = {
		NOT = { has_landed_title = PREV }
		
		NOT = { is_vassal_or_below = FROM }
		
		OR = {
			same_realm = FROM
			FROM = {
				liege = { independent = yes }
			}
		}
		
		OR = {
			is_female = no
			AND = {
				NOT = { religion_group = muslim } 
				NOT = { ROOT = { succ_law_title = { has_law = agnatic_succession } } }
			}
		}
		
		OR = {
			ROOT = { has_law = succ_feudal_elective }
			has_claim = ROOT
		}
		
		ROOT = {
			holder_scope = {
				NOT = {
					defending_against_claimant = {
						character = PREVPREV
						title = ROOT
					}
				}
			}
		}
	}
Any ideas? I also can't vote for myself, but I believe that's normal.

When fabricating claims, re-assign them to the same location every time you can, there's a decision that fires at every interval, and one of the outcomes is your chancellor taking a bribe to sit there and do nothing. Re-assigning resets this.

I don't think that's true. It's blocked by a simple character modifier, NOT = { has_character_modifier = bribed_by_noble_timer }, which only seems to be removed by timing out after a year. Indeed, it appears that the bribe prevents fabrication even if you move your chancellor elsewhere.

Also, I would like to know if it's often/ever worthwhile to press a claim for somebody else? I don't really see a valid reason at the moment.

Oh, and if I press a claim for one of my minor vassals will the the land he gets be added to my realm or does he become a vassal of the guy who is the liege of the current vassal?

The micromanagement involved with vice-royalties is making me depressed. And is there a reason why the idiot dames of my dynasty keep accepting non-matrilineal marriages or to non-kinsmen? I didn't loving land all of you idiots just so you could lose them 3 generations later because you are to dumb to either marry matri or in the family!

Also, it's very strange I, as liege lord, can't fiddle with the inheritance laws of my subjects. Maybe tie it into higher crown authority (Hey! A reason to bring it above Medium!) but my problem could have been solved if I'd have been able to switch the inheritance into agnatic. Or if Viceroyalities didn't just default to gavelkind after death...

Also there not being a single option to increase your vassal limit as the Byzantine is really, really tedious. Have it increase with legalism or something? I realize that it's a lategame problem and having it stack with prestige wasn't great but something other than diplomacy adding a tiny number to it would be better.

Edit: also yea, tech in general is incredibly dull; about the only thing that really has an actual strong impact is Milorg for 4 against pagans and retinues, Legalism for laws and centralization and for trade republics Trade tech. Everything else is just boring marginal upgrades. Whoop, 3.2% faster sieges yay! My light infantry now do .211 or something more damage, which I don't care about because I can barely pick my troop composition except with retinues and they're way too expensive to do anything but spam the 2 or 3 cheapest!

If you're playing as the Byzantines you pretty much have to hand out kingdom-level viceroyalties or just stop expanding and ride out the next 400-600 years with static borders. This isn't nearly as bad as it sounds; you lose the ability to revoke them whenever like you can with duchy-level viceroyalties, but you gain the ability to be able to go more than five seconds without a loving strategos dying. You also get some (all?) of their tech points when they croak, which means you'll be maxing out the tech tree hundreds of years before the end of the game. Maybe duchy-level ones do this too, but it's more pronounced at the kingdom level.

The non-matrilineal marriage thing is a pain, but there's no practical way around it as far as I can tell. It's annoying giving a county to a dynasty member and then coming back a few decades later to discover he had a female heir who decided to marry out of the dynasty.

Even with vassal kings, there's some pretty annoying restrictions on who you can transfer vassals to and if you create a bunch of merchant republics like I do, you don't want to lose access to that sweet, sweet filthy lucre. Apparently just being adjacent ain't enough. Also for some damnable reason the fucken pope refuses to create crusades, even though I specifically got catholicism into top-dog position again on top of Lollardism but eh; whaevs.

Gonna try and go for another steppe-muslim; just wish the Bolgars weren't so bloody annoying and that you could get at least some cash; But at least I'll be able to have my vassals actually be of some drat use in war. Disabling being able to raise individual vassals is so loving tedious and dumb, ugghhh.

I think the thing about CK2 tech is it's really meant to represent more incremental changes to technology rather than significant new discoveries being made as in Vicky 2. It's less stuff like "You just invented machine guns!" and more "you just found a new way to forge steel that makes your swords slightly more durable!"

Also if you think about it, it kind of makes sense that the tech is so hands off. You're a noble - you don't care what your craftsmen are doing to improve their process. All you care about is whether or not it makes your knights better at killing heathens.

Although it might be cool to have events keyed to certain technology levels. Build "God's Own Catapult" during a war, armies led by your leader now have large siege bonus. Or is that something already tied to the Crusades?
