Is there a quick way of checking for random baronies outside of your control or do you have to go through every county individually?

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.

According to that, everything in India is under my control.

I hovered over all the counties and didn't see any with multiples, and all the ones with a coat of arms over them that I did check were 100% mine.

Once they balance and shake out the bugs I think this might be the best expansion.

It's really cool that Paradox made conquest actually matter. Once catholic rulers have stability and consolidation they really have no reason to expand other than prestige, and expansion is really risky. Makes for really boring inertia after a while.

As a nomad you literally can't survive without wide-ranging conquest. Pagans and tribal had some of that, but most of them had decent land, or good places to raid.

If you stay on the steppes you will die to a rival, and that's exciting.

Edit: also my nation of choice in Mount and Blade was always Khergit so there is that.

I also took the 'Become King of Ireland' ambition, but I don't have the subjugation CB against anyone, just 'make tributary'. Are catholic tribals screwed up?

Subjugation is a Pagan thing.
You must have a Ducal level title to change crown laws; as a Count you also can't change centralisation, etc.

Eh, I'm doing a 769 Ireland as Dublin and it's not exceedingly hard. It's only 800 and I could reform to feudalism if I chose to, which I won't (yet) because then all of the tribals in Ireland will hate my guts and also because I still have plenty of raiding to do.

Seriously, I have more money than I can spend just by cracking open all of the churches around me like clockwork every few years. Who knows what it'll be like when I get enough ships to take on Rome. The Moral Authority hit made everything even better, two counts got taken over by heretics and I gobbled them up basically for free.

Getting a second county is extremely useful, because you need to give it to any claimants you find. Getting CBs is super hard to do in Catholic Tribal Ireland.

Is there some secret to getting more men in my court as a merchant republic? While reading up on them I keep seeing people post about having hundreds of trade posts very quickly, buy I've been playing for 200 years and only have about 30. I've been arranging marriages mostly with lustful women with fertile education traits with a few quick or genius women to try to breed better rulers.

It does cause a MA penalty, although it's the same as the penalty for getting churches raided by anyone else.

I think he means that priests/the Pope/whoever should get a negative opinion modifier of you for doing it or something. Some drawback to a Catholic raiding their own religion's churches beyond lowering MA.

Vassal games are kind of funny, because your ruler will do all kinds of poo poo to try and keep you happy. I picked the Duke of Holland under Karl, just intending to do my own thing, maybe try and become King of Frisia, and he wound up giving me two French vassals and, for a short while, designating me as his heir. I would have stabbed, but the temptation of weeding out the Karlings entirely was outweighed by my not actually wanting to be the blob.

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.



So I started a game as the High Chieftess of Kiev because tributaries make tribals really really fun to play now and I became both Lunatic and Possessed.

All hail High Chieftess Dobrava, slayer of Cthulhu and lover of horses.

They changed the way it works and you can upgrade your other holdings for free once reforming. Your vassals can too. And if they don't, just revoke it for zero tyranny hit because they're disgusting tribals.

You really have to hope they get bled a bit and spend a lot of prestige/gold rebuilding. Clan revolts or other khaganates fighting them are your best bet. Khan on Khan wars can be loving brutal because you really need to smash the other guys army up due to not much territory to hold.

Turns out there was one barony in the middle of nowhere I missed that was independent, and I'm now the emperor of all India. It's a shame nicknames can't change - history will forever remember the first emperor of India as the "Ill-Ruler" because of huge revolt 30 years earlier.

There should be a decision to remove/choose your nickname for a bunch of prestige.

Trying to get SPQR and it's pretty obnoxious that after taking over Mauritania I have to spend another 40 years or so weeding out the Bektashi Order one barony at a time and each war takes at least 3 years because all their actual troops are God knows where deep in Persia or something. Is there any reason I can't press multiple county claims against the same enemy at once?

There should just be an "Expel" casus belli against holy orders you don't control in your land, where you take all their holdings if they resist and lose against you.

Ok, so it does genuinely sound like something's wrong. I played as Khiva from 1066 because I wanted to have some time to learn/play with the Silk Road then see the Mongols pop up naturally. I was actually *hoping* to get conquered and the invasion went off like a wet fart. Very disappointing.
I wonder if this is a prestige issue. I don't have Horse Lords yet, so I don't know what (if anything) changed with cb's, but I ran an observer game just now and I noticed the Mongols were just chilling around after one war because they needed like 500 prestige to start the next one. Are you playing ironman? If not, could you try consoling over to whoever's leading your mongols and dumping a bunch of prestige in his lap? I'm genuinely curious to know how the piles of GH/Ilkhanate event troops interact with the new nomad dynamics
