So my mother was a Scottish Queen. No big deal, nice to have an ally. Eventually she croaked and was replaced by some random dude (Elective Monarchy). I've always been a candidate for election to the Scottish throne, but was never that popular. Anyways, some years later, I'm fighting in Ireland for control of a county I have a claim on when the King of Scotland decides HE wants to press a claim HE has for that county, making us hostile to eachother due to conflicting claims. Our armies eventually meet and I crush him thanks to a numbers advantage. With his army destroyed, a faction in Scotland that wanted to put me on the throne now had enough military power compared to him to force the King to abdicate, making me the King of   Uh, thanks dude, I guess?  This is gonna be a mess if I want to try to keep it. Though I suddenly realize that with my son having a claim on the Dutchy of Mumu/Munster I suddenly have a real shot at forming an Empire if I can just hold onto Scotland long enough to form the Kingdom of Ireland... Doubt it though, my son isn't a favored candidate for the Scottish throne (I'm, perhaps unsurprisingly, not that popular in Alban) and my current ruler is getting old and is stressed. [edit] Nevermind I'd need to control 80% of the Isles to form the Empire of Britannia, not just 3 Kingdom titles. My greatest political coup to date was completely unintentional... [edit] Wait, Count of Ferrara?! Where the gently caress is Ferrara and why am I count of it? Galaga Galaxian fucked around with this message at 23:36 on Oct 11, 2015 |

Yeah, I figured that out after doing a search for the title. I don't remember setting that up intentionally.She's my third (I think?) wife, so I guess I don't have to worry about what the hell Wales would do with an Italian county under its control.

Not that it really matters - you could always just hand it off to some random Italian poo poo and grant him independence. Random inheritances that you don't really remember how you set them up are at least a bit of a divergence from random poo poo going wrong, and it could even give you an incentive to do something special with that random inheritance if you were getting bored with your current situation.

I'm playing as Jewish Khazaria, have restored the High Priesthood and Kohen Gadol, which according to the Wiki is good enough, but I still don't see any "Request Crusade" diplomatic option on either the Kohen Gadol or the various rulers I can call against. So far as I can tell there's nothing else preventing holy wars; I am currently at peace, willing to spend 500 piety, neither vassal of nor truce with the target, ETC. What am I doing wrong?

darthbob88 posted:949, and I have also seen both a Crusade and a Jihad against Aquitaine. Also, shortly after I asked, a Great Holy War was called against Egypt, so obviously they can occur, my concern is how I can request one. Especially since once I take over Egypt, there's only one other kingdom that a GHW might be called against, and honestly I'd rather give that to my friends in the Petty Kingdom of Semien. Ah, if I recall, only Norse and Zoroastrians can actually request Great Holy Wars. The AI will decide when to call for the other religions.

Do I have to destroy titles when revoking them from vassals as a nomadic clan? I subjugated Kiev and revoked the high chiefdom of Kiev and somehow lost my nomadic status. Every time I play as a nomad I always lose nomadic status some how and it's really pissing me off. Is there a detailed guide to horde mechanics anywhere so I can really familiarize myself with it?

I think it's actually only Norse, and that's because the player that reforms Norse becomes the religious head and can declare GHWs themselves like the Caliphs do Jihads. As far as I can tell only Christians bet the Request Crusade option to attempt to direct an AI religious head's choice of target - I've played enough Zoroastrian Persia games to see it if they got that option too.

Ok, now what happened, I was in charge of the Magyar Empire and my character died, I had an heir, and when he took charge he was dropped down to king and my rival tribe took over. I wasn't at war with them and my horde was 10x the size of theirs. edit: I loving hate this game sometimes.

Hey, is there a good modern tutorial somewhere for best practices when playing ck2? I watched arumba's tutorial series awhile back, but its out of date now probably. I did a ireland game and a norse game before Charlemagne, but dont know to do well anymore. also maybe some suggestions of some easy-medium starts. i'm playing around with a 1066 king of galicia start right now, but some more would be nice. edit: i just found that arumba did a spain game recently. i guess ill watch that ImPureAwesome fucked around with this message at 22:53 on Oct 12, 2015 |

A pretty easy start is Rostov in 1066. You only need a bit of piety to form the kingdom of Rus and there's like half a dozen other Rurikid states around you. Not only will those join your wars but you also start with claims on most of them and can easily get claims on the rest. You are a bit tribal but that just means a lot more troops to steamroll everyone with.

So for some reason, I am not getting the little jingling update at the top of the screen for when children in my family need an education. I tried resetting the message settings but that hasn't restored it either. Anyone know what's causing this and/or how to fix it? Kind of impossible to keep track of when all these kids come of age otherwise.

You think you hate him. Try doing it as Karloman... Edit: I'd forgotten how awful it was to be on the receiving end of a planned invasion. Thank you, dude invading from Rome, for rubbing my face in it by invading from my fav place too. 25K dudes attacking a W-Francia that can barely rub together 13 and that was with all my sweet levies. You couldn't have attacked the Muslim part of Aquitaine either could you? Dickbag. Next up will probs be another invasion from the Empire of Hispania. Just waiting on the crusades now I suppose.

Getting my tribal Magyar to the point where both forming the Carpathian Empire and converting to a merchant republic are possible got me thinking about gaming the system to protect the empire title from the doge election. The elected doge gets the top title(s) of the realm on election but what happens if a patrician manages to gain an emperor title in a kingdom level republic?

Ok, my situation is I'm playing the shattered worlds mod and I picked the guy at the bottom most county of the Munster duchy. I just took the second county needed to form the duchy and buy the title (not done so yet) and need to wait out a truce for the third one but I have a problem; the county I took has a claimant (originally it had two but one foolishly accepted an invitation to my court and... well...) who I can't seem to touch at all. He won't accept an invitation to my court of course, and my plot to kill him will only achieve around like 30% power. I've already borrowed money to raise an army to take the county and I have about 50 left. How do I get this guy? To summarize; dude has a claim on my county (a random fuckoff guy) and plot power is too low to actually do anything if I wanted to kill him and he won't join my court via invitation. I just thought of something, if I arrange a marriage to a female courtier in my court he comes to my court, right? I'm pretty darn inexperienced at this game here, I only know a few basic tips and things to do from the old tutorial LP. Blackray Jack fucked around with this message at 09:05 on Oct 13, 2015 |

Playing as the Carpathian Empire, I finally managed to get a conversion event for one of the interesting Catholic heresies (Catharism). It seems like an odd choice to make it so easy to fabricate a claim on Rome when the Pope isn't likely to have any political allies to help him defend his county. I might get holy warred to death later on, but for now I'm amused to place a 17-year-old girl as the head of the bishopric of Rome. Also to convert Rome to Catharism

You can grant them independence without un-reforming. If that's what you're asking about. However, if they are attacked and conquered by other religions then you'll need to be prepared to deal with the authority hit.

Galaga Galaxian posted:No more chasing down defeated armies and utterly annihilating them in a series of one-sided battles, perhaps? That would be nice. Even in Vicky 2 you could give a retreat order to a distant province and your troops would go the whole way there, uninterrupted, rather than just the next county over and getting immediately wiped. I'm hoping the "more character interactions" coupled with the "pacts" tab from the dev diary image means we'll finally be able to make political bargains of some kind. I know that they mentioned more ways of forming alliances besides just through marriages, but I'd love if you could make deals under elective monarchies to get people to vote for your chosen heir.
