Oh, dear. It would appear that the new barony wars don't accumulate warscore for controlling the target. This makes dealing with the scattered baronies of holy orders even worse than it was before. edit: God, once you get big enough, inheriting a clan is about the worst thing in the world.

 Took a while, and a significant chunk of Eurasia burnt to the ground, but I finally got a clan population of a million. Yearly income from nomad tax is somewhere around 2000; I haven't checked it in a while. Strudel Man fucked around with this message at 09:08 on Jul 22, 2015 |

Is there any way to check if there's a title I need for the Samrat Chakravartin decision that I don't have? I've looked up and down the entire Indian territory and can't see any crests indicating a barony controlled by someone outside my realm, but the decision is still blocked off saying I don't control all of "The India".

Isn't there a way to check available CBs in the ledger? Scan that for a de jure war with a baron.

Did you ever run into the bug where you inherit baronies (without getting a message that you did and no message about it in the log) and they are set as your capital automatically while still keeping the "capital" Yurt in your previous capital province and makes you unable to remove the holding as a capital even though there is empty holdings in the county? I've ran into the bug several times in my game, it started happening when I switched over to the beta patch even though it is supposed to fix that problem according to the patch notes. It really fucks you over as the bonuses from the buildings in your capital stop working so your max pop will plummet (went from 170k to 90k for me) making your armies unable to reinforce. Only positive thing is that it gives you unlimited invasion CBs that your vassal khans can complete for you. Despite that bug Nomads are really fun to play, although extremely overpowered, here's me subjugating the entire Abbasid blob a few decades after the start of the game:

I have two problems I can't figure out. When I take counties with more than one holding pillaging a holding doesn't seem to destroy the holdin and I just piss off the county. Is this a bug? When I get a county with just one holding usually pillaging will destroy the holding.. Unless the holding is building something. Also, my heir who just inherited was Sunni. So now my horde has all turned Sunni. How the hell to I switch back to tengrI? I was expecting a decision to just switch back but I guess that decision is just for heresies.

I was expecting a decision to just switch back but I guess that decision is just for heresies. There are fewer options for converting to an unreformed pagan religion than there are for converting to a non-pagan religion. Your best bet is moving your capital to a Tengri province. If you have 1000 piety and you're independent, you'll be able to convert to the local religion.

Hordes can switch to the religion of any of the other clan heads in the horde. If you've got any Tengri clan heads left, it should be an interaction option with them to switch back. Otherwise, make sure your heir is Tengri. If you've got a non-heir Tengri son, send him off to be a mercenary so he has the prestige to become heir. Otherwise, send your son off to be mentored by a Tengri somewhere.

Norse culture also has a great set of honorary titles (don't forget you have 4 hirdman titles) to award your vassals. But really, the biggest thing about keeping vassals happy is that they have their own desires. Hover over their opinion with you on their character sheet to see what this entails. Some vassals will be ambitious, which is -50 opinion of liege. I like to plot to kill these ones, or if they get too feisy I'll imprison and blot them. Some of your other vassals might desire jarldoms (duchies) that are under your control. I solve this by owning every county in a duchy that I have a title over. Other vassals might want control of one of your vassals, in this case it's best to just transfer vassalage to them. When you're back on your feet and you have a goodly amount of spare manpower, I'd revoke titles and setup your empire so that one duke has control of each duchy. This will probably solve a lot of your opinion issues, and help keep you under your vassal limit.

verbal enema posted:Just noticed the button to forbid yourself to lead armies. Which is nice, but if you have a liege and a high Martial score he will spam you like once a year with requests to lead an army. It's not a huge deal (you can just ignore them, there's no opinion malus for it or anything) but a "No rear end in a top hat, I am never leading any of your armies" button would be a nice quality of life enhancement.

The exception was earlier on, in which I subjugated the Abbasids; I had to gradually work through them, and there were a few independence revolts I had to fight off. Once you defeat one or two, though, your major feudal vassals are all imprisoned, and it again doesn't matter as much if they all hate you.

Is there currently a way to kill my sons? I remember there being an option to pay and see if an assassin could do it, but that doesn't seem to be present. On top of that, the "plot to kill" option doesn't seem to want to let me pick my own sons for this. I'm kind of at a loss, because I need to lose one of these little bastards before my giant viking empire crumbles.

Excommunicate -> Imprison -> Order to Take Vows is my go-to for dealing with less capable sons that stand before their awesome siblings.

Well, unfortunately and once again due to my lack of knowledge on playing as a pagan... I got an interesting event chain to let one of them try and be a Varanginian, which seemed pretty cool. I had no idea this would mean he would leave my court forever and join the Byzantine Empire... now I have him primed to inherit quite a bit of my land, but I'm assuming it would be under Byzantine control. It is clear to me that he is the son that needs to die, but I just don't know how to do it.
