is it possible to mod in matrilineal marriages as a muslim?

Would one of the more mod-savvy people here be so kind as to help me figure out how to change the map colors in an existing game? Is this even possible?

A problem I'm running into is there was a successful crusade for Greece and Greece and Byzantium are right next to each other and on this crappy monitor, they're identical in color. I've gone into the landed_titles file and changed it, and I've made a mod that's got nothing BUT my modified landed_titles file, but when I boot the game with the mod running, they're still identical color.

It's possible to make them, like, a nice, contrasting blue, yeah? How do I go about doing this?

quote:

e_byzantium = {
color={ 163 10 145 }
color2={ 255 255 20 }

k_byzantium = {
color={ 165 11 111 }
color2={ 255 255 23 }

So this is something that's always bothered me, but I'm wondering if any of the changes since I played have let you tinker around with it, namely is it possible to mod in matrilineal marriages as a muslim? I could get the AI to do it before horse lords, but the UI made it impossible for players. Wondering if that was ever tinkered with?

I'd say yes to both, with the caveat that they're currently OP and due for rebalancing.

Yeah me and QA has been working together to try and improve the situation without completely wrecking them to obscurity so hopefully in 2.5 you'll see some improvements in the balance.

Do all new DLC patches tend to break saves or was that just Horse Lords? I'm a bit tired of my current save for now but I'm in a good place and plan to come back to it.

It has been a while since I played Horse Lords, but is it possible for the player to become a Raiding/Invading Adventurer or a Landless Clan?

Pretty much this. Besides, there is also the 10% limit, so if you make a huge kingdom merchant republic vassal, you wont be able to make even a regular republic after that.

IMHO the 10% limit is enough to prevent those kind of exploits, no need to spoil my fun of making Frisia a merchant republic.

So what's the most recent version of After the End available?

Bloodly posted:

The limit for Merchant Republics is on Feudal vassals. You can make as many Republics as you wish if you are one, same as you can make as many Feudal vassals as you like if you are one.

in landed_titles file, by default, you should have these two thingies:


Nearly identical colors, as you've said. So go over to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_colors#X11_color_names and find whatever you like. Just replace either title with the value of your favorite colors (yes, blue, you may pass the gorge of eternal peril). If you change the e_ title, then the Byzantine Empire becomes blue, if you change the k_ title then the kingdom of Greece should. You get the idea.

If you just do that, it should work easy - or at least it worked for me when I designed my Matriarchy pentarchy kingdom title in terms of color. If you're not certain if you've placed the mod file in the correct folder (this could be another reason why nothing's happening), first do a backup of the vanilla game landed_titles file and then just modify it like this and don't even bother with the /mod thing. This should show you a difference to be sure, or well...your monitor really has died. :P

Hope any of this rambling was of use.

So I am playing an ironman France game and I ran into a problem making the Empire of Francia:



I have 3 King titles, the gold needed as well as the provinces. I don't understand why it wont let me make the title.

So, how do I play this game? I just bought it and all the major DLCs but now I'm lost. What's a fun place to start?

So my desire to hop into the game in Scandinavia isn't to be followed? Ireland newbie island and then learn how to do other religions/government types?

Volkerball posted:

The tutorial is actually pretty good. There's a guy on youtube named Arumba who did the definitive tutorial a couple years ago, but it's a bit dated. Still likely a lot of good information there, but the interface will be a little different. And yeah, Ireland is newbie island at 1066 if I remember right and it's not tribal.

I find it kinda weird that in merchant republics, even though you're supposed to be under seniority succession, nobody minds when you just appoint whoever you want as heir. I mean, I get that republics are supposed to be less about succession politics, but it's weird that there's not even an opinion modifier on the guy who should inherit.

It's just another thing that never really got good depth, a bit like how the college of cardinals in CK2 is somehow less interactive than the one from Medieval Total War 2. Vote-buying is simplified into just pure insert money -> more votes instead of being more strategic. Ehhh.

Also, anyone able to get anybody excommunicated for a while? Aside from vassal pope shenanigans, I don't remember doing that for ages.

Alucard posted:

Just got this on Steam, will be giving it a shot soon - are there any must-have DLC expansions or is the base game solid enough to play? I was going to grab the GoT and Elder Kings mods after I start getting a feel for the base game.

Eric the Mauve posted:

You can still excommunicate people, but there's not much point since if the pope dislikes them and likes you then you can usually get a claim on their poo poo instead. Or just tap pope money at every opportunity, which is what the AI does, which is why the AI never bothers excommunicating anyone either. It's still technically in the game but it's basically a deprecated mechanic since SoA.

One thing that's still occasionally useful is if you can have a fucknut vassal excommunicated it gives you justification to throw his rear end in the dungeon.
