The only thing I can really think of doing RE saints would be a posthumous trait getting added to the person plus a bunch of prestige and maybe some piety for the head of the dynasty.

I'm drawing a blank because it is early and I'm tired but I don't remember any people that were canonized while still alive.

It'd be great if there was a way to record which court chaplain converted a heathen group to Christianity. It'd also be good if you could record the ruler that chose to convert, or the spouse/concubine that lead them to convert. There you have three kinds of people to-be-made saints on death - but I have no idea how easy or viable any of this is. Probably not very.

Would also make sense if sainthood is granted to those with an incredibly high amount of piety upon death.

Certain states could have patron saints - some (for states already christian) would be set from the start. Others would be set as those conversion saints (or others) as the game progresses. Would be nice if the player has choice.

Again, I have no idea how viable any of this is. My guess is it's all fairly impossible.

Weren't Saints in CK1? Or was that something that DVIP added?

DVIP added an event where you petitioned the pope to saint a particularly pious ancestor. It wasn't a full mechanic or anything though, just a runestone-esque event that benefited your current character and honored your ancestor.

Question about Horse Lords and the Old Gods start: Do the Magyars still settle by event once they take Hungary or has that been removed in favor of the new system? I ask because I usually like mucking around in that region starting as Dyre the Stranger and I'd rather not have to fight their deathstacks again. Pre-HL I'd usually just avoid bordering them until their event troops got worn down.

So I want to declare a subjugation war on Khazaria here (this is vassal mapmode) but I'm not sure what'll happen if I win. I'm assuming I don't vassalize the clans that are there, but do I get their land? There are no holdings here. The tooltip only mentions getting titles from the Khan of Khazaria.

e: Oh god my heir became Zikri and then I died. None of my lands are Tengri. I've only got a Sunni holding and a Buddhist holding. How do I convert back without a Tengri province?

e2: Figured it out. One of my clans was still Tengri and right clicking on them in the Clans tab let me become Tengri.

That's why I love landing my dynasty. Sure, you sometimes end up with a lovely ruler and an entire realm of pretenders allied against him in a revolt, but watching them dump all that energy against others is wonderfully satisfying.

Saintly suggestions, if possible: there should be a trade off for who holds the top level holding on a saintly province. You can hold it yourself as a feudal holding with a bishopric beneath it, and make a shitload of money from local faithfuls paying tribute to the saint. However, in doing so, you are then subject to a lot of events from the locals who are petitioning you for blessings, good crop seasons, an influx of migrant believers creating population and religious unrest issues, defeat fantistical beings, remove curses, etc. Some will offer benefits to you, such as increased taxes, however, since you are not a saint and do not really have the power to make a good crop season, or cure somebodies blindness, you might also receive penalties.

Default decisions would have 2 possibilities: you do not spend piety to try and make this petition happen, and have a high chance of failure, or you spend some piety and the chance miraculously goes up a bit. Make them also take into account stats and traits, so if you are a particularly apt steward, you might be able to pull a few favours and somehow pull out a great crop season by shrewd farming policy, and get the positive result as well as a boost to piety. Another example is that a blind man comes over to receive absolution for his sins, and to be cured of his cursed blindness. If you take the no piety option and just say "yep, sure, you are cured", you will have a minor chance of success as the saint grants it, a major chance of nothing happening but a slight local unrest as people feel they have fallen out of favour with the saint who is now ignoring their pleas, and then another minor chance of going blind yourself. Taking the piety spending option will give a greater chance to cure him, and no chance of going blind yourself. Successful curing on both sides would give you a bonus to locals paying tribute, boosting taxes. A high learning stat, or a Scholarship focus, might give you an opportunity to use some experimental method of curing the local, at the cost of piety, but an extremely high chance of success comes with it, and a minor chance of catastrophic failure which kills the one petitioning you. Failure there would add a whole bunch of unrest to the province. Make the benefits of holding it yourself very nice, but potentially disasterous. Also, make the clergy hate you for holding it, and some disastrous results might lower moral authority of the faith, risking heresy.

There should be a base unrest to holding the province yourself, as that land should belong to the church as a holy site. Instead, if you give it to a theocratic ruler, making the bishopric the top level holding, you would receive different benefits and opportunities. Taxes would decrease, as they would go to the Pope, but you would receive a huge monthly piety bonus. Alongside that, you can now petition towards them to receive benefits yourself. You could pay them tribute, through piety or money, and receive a chance of a boon, such as a character modifier which gives troop morale, or huge benefits to church opinion, etc. The benefits of not holding it yourself would be smaller, but there would be much lesser risks, such as not being struck blind.

Also, add events for holding it as a lunatic, and events for granting it to a wicked priest. Infact, if you give it away, give some events a minor chance of the priest who holds it a chance of developing that trait. Perhaps if you hold it yourself, make a few different versions of similar petitioning events, where the individual comes seeking absolution for a different type of sin. Different severities would come with greater failure chance, but with even greater reward. That would make it feel less repetitious, as I imagine your 4th or 5th blind man seeking absolution for the same sin might get dull.

Also, for the blind man thing, add one rare variant. A man comes faking blindness, seeking false absolution to disprove the local saint or perhaps bribed to do so to stage a saintly healing, like in Gregory of Tours. There might be light clues in the description that the man is not really blind to tip the player off.

At first I was really surprised there was a special Cuman portrait pack since I thought they were basically just Turks. But then I did a bit of research and found out that I was being racist against Cumans since they apparently were very distinct from most of the other Turkic peoples and most of them had blonde hair. But from what I've seen the portrait pack doesn't really seem to reflect that.

Play as Haesteinn of Nantes in 867, use your huge event troops and stack of money and Norse CBs to take over as much of Ethiopia as you like,, then you can take a Jewish concubine to make yourself Jewish and switch your capital to an Ethiopian province to become Ethiopian.

EDIT: or you can use Tulunid Egypt to accomplish the same thing, except change religion using your capital instead of a concubine.

The idea of dynastic legacies affecting new characters would be cool though. Like if my first 10 rulers were all badass pious warriors, maybe random dynasty members should strive to do that more often, instead of just picking whatever random focus and doing things related to that forever.

I've always thought they should do more with dynasties. Mostly in terms of cadet branches and some sort of "legitimacy" mechanic tied to how long your dudes have been holding a title, but LP's dynastic character idea sounds rad as gently caress so let's do that too. Maybe overhaul dynastic prestige, too? In a lot of ways it seems like a better scoring mechanism for how the game wants to to play than the actual scoring mechanism. Nuance it up a bit and it could go a long way.

Sounds like enough meat to build a DLC around, to me. What do you think, Groogs? "Crusader Kings II: In The Blood"?

And then after that we can get an expansion fleshing out all the religions that haven't been fleshed out yet. :getin:

I don't think there's any reason why you couldn't have an event pop which would check if your father/grandfather had any lifestyle or acheivement traits(poet, berzerker, impaler etc) and then have some effect based on that.

This quote is getting taken out of context really fast so think I should make it straight. I agree on Doomdark's opinion of eventually adding China to CK2 and I was referring to what people were complaining on the forum for which were not actual arguments but just the same statements over and over again (performance, never interacted with, which are both non-issues as I continue to work on this). It is also not my job to agree with whatever Doomdark decides, a lot of the design for Horse Lords and expansions before it has been changed because of me or another team member disagreeing with him. Doomdark has the last word and the decision making power, but it does not make him the only creative person on the team.

:eyepop:

that said I'm pretty apprehensive about the possibility; even aside from performance and whatever, China kind of calls for several expansions worth of content, and I feel like there isn't the demand for them to do that.

I guess mods could fill that void at least

Use the little province looking button that pops up at the top of the menu when you select a province to check regions, which apparently is what the decision checks now. Alternatively, you might be missing a barony somewhere, which is a common stumbling block for "control all of X" requirements.
