So when I go to launch the game it tells me it failed to create a graphics device. Drivers are up to date, I've uninstalled and reinstalled the game, and I've verified the game cache and it still doesn't launch. Anything else I could try?

Freakus posted:Is it just me or are nomads insanely powerful? Abbasid declared a holy war on me 3 times, each time I repelled their 30k stack with just 10k troops. Eventually I was able to get my empire calm enough (so much pillaging) to invade Persia, which was a trivial matter. Use it and abuse it while you can, I suppose; the problem to my mind is that on one hand, all the non-horde unit types are utter poo poo now, but aside from OP cultural tactics I don't see how to really model just how much better the hordes were at this whole 'warfare' dealio until later. Edit: Groogy, having my nomad capital in Syr Darya gives me the "Capital at Tengri Holy Site" twice. Also why the rotten hell do my family members not take concubines? Even just one? I see you've fixed the Zorastrian incest problem (i.e., I'm inundated in requests for child bethrothals) but them not taking concubines leads to some uhhh, big problems down the line. Also lack of realism, blah blah blah.

CrazyLoon posted:It might be an option, if war was not imminent. But like how he described it? Way too unreliable I think, especially since the whole insta-murder for hundreds of gold option got removed. Even if you get 100-200% plot power on the Abbasid Caliph (very hard most likely), sometimes the RNG just makes it so that it doesn't trigger for 2 or 3 years. Even if a child takes over by then, I dunno...very dicey. There's a bug where a plot can fail to pop no matter how much power you have. I had one sitting at something like 700% for five years without a single attempt on the guy. I cancelled it and restarted, and he was dead within two months.

What would be cool is if clan allegiance and independence was a lot more fluid; since there aren't any government types in the game that play like this. Basically what I'm imagining is that most nomadic rulers would be independent king-level khans, but for X hundred prestige, they can declare themself a Khagan. Khagans could get CBs to vassalize khans, but in general khans would be much more willing to accept diplovassalization, which for them would be largely dependent upon relative prestige power levels; for nomads, religion and culture would not factor into willingness to diplovassal. Khans would also be able to unilaterally declare independence without needing to declare a war, and would inevitably do so upon khagan succession if they have more prestige than the new khagan. The idea would be to simulate both the young years of Genghis Khan rallying together the tribes of Mongolia under his banner, and the breakup of the Mongol empire into the various hordes. Another interesting idea could be to dial back how demanding the clans are of territorial equality, but make it so that if the khagan's clan holds a vast swath of territory to itself, upon succession the non-inheriting sons would start their own clans and get a chunk of the holdings.

So, uh, if you conquer a tribal/pagan county (as a Catholic) that consists only of tribal lands and a bishopric, is there ANY way to hand it out to someone such that they don't become a prince-bishop? Like even with the console I can't find a way to do it.

BravestOfTheLamps posted:Create a barony in the bishopric by clicking on the holding? A barony in the bishopric? Not sure I'm following. I did try creating a castle/barony in the county, setting the barony as the county capital, handing out both it and the bishopric to different people, and then giving the baron the county title. He automatically kicks out the bishop and becomes prince-bishop with the bishopric becoming the county capital. I don't get it.

Is it perhaps because a temple got built before a castle and so the game is hard coded to regard the thing that got built first as the natural county capital? Meaning when it comes under AI control the AI automatically sets it as county capital no matter what and kicks out the existing bishop if necessary.

OK, this is weird. I used the console to force-convert the religion of the county to Catholic, then upgraded the holding to feudal. Now there's a castle, a church and a city. I create vassals for the church and city. I then hand out the county to someone--he STILL becomes a Prince-Bishop even though he does not hold a church, he holds a castle. This is a bug, right?

If I press one of my direct vassals' claims on a county that I am not de jure liege of, will I become liege of it on account of already being the ruling vassal's liege?

In fact, that's actually one of the more common ways to expand your realm once you start blobbing. Getting a dynasty member with claims or waiting for your chancellor to get off his rear end and do something can be pretty slow.

This thread was immeasurably helpful. I can tell I still have a lot more to learn too.

Yea, this has been happening to me for a while; sometimes they just end up as lord-mayors or prince-bishops and it doesn't seem like there's anything you can do about it. Even revoking the church title doesn't always work, nor does making the caste the capital. Annoying, especially in ironman when you can't just use set_government >: [

current Letland ironmayne status: hell yeah holy war owns, just conquered Norway and Sweden through it  Just need to spread the faith to a few more places and save up dosh/prestige for an empire. If not a custom empire, I still need 13 more provinces for Scandinavia. Either way Suomi has to go, because those fuckers have been a pain in my rear end since day one.

King of Navarra in 1066 is a start I've always wanted to do. Turn Iberia into Basque culture  But probably hard as balls.

Maybe a little of both. From my point of view, forming the Empire of Britannia qualifies as hard, but I do not relish the idea of going through the process of fabricating claims, pressing claims, fabricating again, etc. etc. until I have Ireland and Scotland under my control. I guess I could just start as the King of England, that would probably give me a bit of a head start. The other thing is I now have a handful of DLC to try, so I'm no longer limited to Catholic play.
