CrazyLoon posted:

At a quick glance, right off I notice you're missing one "}" there at the end, so it's quite possible that the command for the building/retinue continues onwards without any ending and that's what's allowing everyone to build them.

Also, I'd advise putting NOT = { culture = varangian } after the FROM and alongside the OR options command. If I remember correctly, it's a lot safer that way to make sure Varangians aren't part of this, rather than it just being another OR option, but maybe that's just my preference and bad things might happen that way too.

No, I just didn't copy that bracket over when copying the code, I only wanted the bit that I changed. I'll try your way, thaks.

BabyFur Denny posted:

Why do you think you can exclude anything with an OR condition? OR is never exclusive, it is always inclusive.

BravestOfTheLamps posted:

Yeah, NOT = (culture = varangian) in OR means that everybody who fulfils that condition (isn't varangian culture) gets them. Just take it out of OR.

Ah, thanks. I'm not a scripter, I have very little idea what I'm doing and the only other vanilla building that has exclusions are the Arabic ones that exclude Andausian and Berber cultures, but that doesn't have an OR condition. Thanks for the help!

Are there any good LPs going on right now aside from GothLP and Rincewind's new Norman one (which hasn't updated in weeks)? They're both excellent, just so slow.

I finally Ironman restored Israel as Khazaria. I settled down in Jerusalem, and the Khazar horde has stayed pretty much in tact after I left it. It's really strong, as I burnt all of Persia down to make more room for horses. Its religion has shifted around a bunch. It was Jewish for a few generations, then Hindu, and now it's Miaphysite. It's become this weird Empire generator as different rulers keep settling down. The Magyars hosed up their invasion of Carpathia and ended up settling as "The Empire of Boleslav" in Poland, but they haven't really done poo poo. Every now and then, a Jewish Khazar will subjugate Bulgaria, but never revoke enough titles to rule them successfully, so Bulgaria is constantly a landed Orthodox majority ruled by a tiny Jewish minority. Arabia is pretty much covered in small Jewish kingdoms from various invaders. The actual "Arabian Empire" title is held by some Khazar in the northern steppes. For awhile, the Zealots ruled Egypt after the Great Holy War, but the Umayyads got them in a Jihad that I wasn't able to help out with. Now the Ummayads rule (pretty much) all of Hispania and all of north Africa, but they're the only real Muslim power left in the game.

I haven't played this game since around the India expansion. There is a raiding army sitting in my completely looted capital, not generating any loot (the associated fleet is full). The army is larger than my total levies. It's been there for a year showing no signs of moving.
How am I supposed to get rid of them?

Playing as Mali and I'm disappointed that Mansa Musa, who may have been one of the richest men of all time, is only sort of rich in the game when he should obviously start with at least 4000 gold. Managed to take over Mauritania but I need to get an entire other kingdom before I can become an empire which sort of sucks.

Still trying to decide whether I should take on the Castillians, which would allow me to grab large amounts of land in one go through holy wars, or play it safe and slowly pick away at the smaller North-African states.

Been having crash problems on saving, but between those I've got a neat Irish Nomad game going. Need to convert government type with the console (or a mod), but after the first few conquests, no one can stop you. Nearly got the entirety of Ireland razed down to prime grazing land, subjugated Pictland and am working on tearing their titles away, and made Northumbria a tributary. Which was sort of a mistake, as now I can only expand through Wales.

Also I'm in the MP LP Obliterati linked, which you probably noticed already, and was moderately influential just recently in loving up all the poo poo.

Goblin babies did nothing wrong.


What governs whether you can subjugate another kingdom as an Indian? I won a war against Pratihara, and then my char died, but the new one can't subjugate them again? Were both indo-aryan, I have the purity necessary, and I can subjugate other countries normally, but for some reason the subjugate CB doesn't come up for the Pratiharas.

Is there some kind of truce timer that only extends past character death for subjugations? The last war I fought against them wasnt a subjugation war. I'm jain and they're Hindu, if that helps.

It sucks because they're currently getting beat down by everyone else and this is the best time to seize half of India, but I can't do it for some reason.

How hard would it be to add a unique building for Mali, "Malian gold mine" or some such that gives ludicrous gold? Hmm. Lock it to that region or have him put them everywhere? Decisions, decisions...

Not just Gold mines, but Salt mines as well. Back then, salt was just as valuable and Mali had massive amounts of both.

It'd be better to add a trade route in Mali, going up to Marrakesh and Cairo. You would then make culture/province specific buildings that give a giant boost to trade income and could only be built at the start of the trade route.

I might have actually worked it out. I think you can't subjugate war someone who's already in a subjugation war, presumably to stop two people subjugating the same kingdom.

I hadn't played CK2 since like.. Sons of Abraham, but today got the urge to play it again. Picked up Way of Life and started out with Harald Fairhair. I love playing as Norse, but getting inheritance in order is a pain. After botching an invasion of Lothringia (gently caress Karlings), I managed to capture all three Scandinavian holy sites and form the kingdom of Norway. But the problem now is that apparently the Norse religious authority is literally zero. There's like -25% from lost religious wars. Is there an easy way to gain the ~50 authority I need to reform the faith? Do I just have to go around picking up lovely Suomenusko / Romuvan land? Capturing the two remaining Karling-held holy sites is not really an option...

Honestly, either do fifty county conquests, burn down some heathen temples, or wait for a civil war in the Karling realms. What's you inheritance looking like? You might need to deal with some kids.

Harald is 42 years old and has three decent sons, with the firstborn nominated as heir and also supported by the realm. Third son joined the Varangian Guard recently. Elective gavelkind is new to me, I assume the nomination just picks the family member I will play as, and my lands will be split beetween the three sons like normal Gavelkind.

The Karling blob seems quite stable, they stamp out rebellions very quickly. I'm not a very good CK2 player so I don't really know how I can tackle them. I guess I'm going to have to go conquer the Baltic and hope that the other Norse rulers get their poo poo together.

More specifically, a portion of the Sahara desert was turned into a dense, powerful region far stronger than the next most powerful one (Byzantine/Eastern Roman Empire) because of a bunch of historical aquifers and oasis that dried up a few generations later.

Adding detail to an often ignored area like Africa? Sure, cool, good. Making the central Sahara more densely populated and richer than the Roman Empire? Hmm, maybe too far.

I try to help by liberating occupied provinces if I can. Also I think if you arrive late to a battle then your liege should still get the warscore. Might be wrong on that last one. It's not ideal.
