Also I think it's sorta amusing how its almost easier to form the HRE rather than Italia when playing as the Lombards. Frigging Byzantines!!

I usually just wait for them to get inevitably embroiled in a prolonged conflict with the Abbasids to swipe a county from them it's all you need to form Sicily, and with it Italia (assuming you have another kingdom)

Of course, now you can start on taking over India or releasing it with family members mostly in charge.  The religious setup ATM. I'm not going for the empire title as kind of a self-imposed challenge, instead I'm going to try to get my dynasty on as many thrones as possible! Gujarat will also be gifted to a relative of mine as soon as it's predominantly Catholic.

Though going for one of the Hispanian kingdoms can be amusing, it's pretty annoying how they and Africa are almost always best bros, as you´re close enough to sometimes get Africa, but going for the Umms is more of a hassle. Anyone else always take that one duchy ruled by a Ibadi in Africa? Easy land, partially Catholic and lets you get up in Africas bidness when you go for that sweet, sweet Tunis. Vichan posted:
Sometimes I wonder if the Hindu clowncar only gets less hate because fewer people bother invading into India unless they're already quite powerful. Because it is a pain how they usually end up being all hindu before long. T___A posted:Groogy could you please change one of the Shiite heresies to this Also I wish they´d add something even vaguely interesting to mainstream Shiite or Ibadi, as right now they´re just inferior Sunni. At least Yazidi has excommunication, though I have literally never have it come up without player intervention in any of my games.

I started a game on Ironman and the game pauses for a few seconds exactly twice per game year, on January 4 and July 4. I play on Speed 4 and it's often enough to be annoying, especially with all the other events that pop up. I'm not sure why this is. I read that Ironman saves every month, but it can't be that because I don't get a pause every month, I don't save to cloud, and I have an SSD. My specs are otherwise pretty good. Does Ironman save twice a year, or every month now? Is it pausing to calculate variables for the next six months? Can I do something about it? edit: Oops im dumb. It saves every six months now and cloud save seems to be mandatory. Fat-Lip-Sum-41.mp3 fucked around with this message at 17:24 on Dec 22, 2015 |

TorakFade posted:Hey guys thanks for the suggestions but I disregarded them all. I really wanted to get back in a feudal christian situation and avoid messing with tribes/hordes, but not as a big world power, so I chose 1066 Tuscany; protection from the outside world via HRE, and internally it seems much more powerful than any neighbour. Matrilineally marry a daughter to some chump, grant lands to said chump. When chump dies, you have a grandchild in charge.

Doesn't currently have any daughters though? But 2 over demesne limit is isn't a terminal problem, it's -20 opinion and some relatively minor income/levy penalties, OP can probably ride it out with high state diplomacy (also IIRC Matilda has a pretty good martial score and favourable traits so she shouldn't have TOO many problems with her vassals.)

Spot on, I don't have daughters but at this rate I'll get one soon - two times pregnant in 2 years, that croatian guy has super-sperm or something! Anyways the -20 demesne limit is not a dealbreaker, Matilda is awesome, croatian guy Gavril has all skills between 14 and 19 so it's a great boost, and most vassals are no problem; increasing centralization already put me at 7/6 demesne, later on I'll be able to give out stuff to my hopefully expanded dynasty (that thing of matrilineally marry a daughter and grant land to the husband is awesome by the way, never thought of that) so now I just have to find a way to appease the Emperor because he loving hates me for being wrong culture / envious / zealous... if I don't do something he'll throw my rear end in jail, I just know that

Also I made the fylkirate a duke level theocracy to kinda make it like the papacy or patriarchate but the title was destroyed next time I checked, did the duke-godi just get unlucky or does the title not pass on like the papacy?

The Fylkirate is like the Caliphate and it passes to your heir, right? You might've hosed it up by granting it to someone else.

My previous game: I might have to explain. I started out as a high chief in Lappland, conquered a few neighboring counties and eventually discovered that I could invade Norway (I didn't know that was a thing ). Later, I expanded Norway quite a bit and usurped Denmark (which I later lost due to some succession rule I wasn't aware of). Along the way my house accidentally became the ruling house of the Byzantine Empire (I married a clan member to a princess who apparently inherited after her brother died) and one of the emperors inherited Denmark. So because of that and the fact that the realm was being threatened from everywhere, I decided on becoming a vassal of the emperor for some extra protection as well as for the giggles. Turns out that was a mistake, because as the old king died, my current guy got in a war and lost his kingship to some rear end in a top hat usurper who the emperor liked more than me  After that, I lost interest. My rear end in a top hat uncle, the emperor.

A year in I was able to finally kill the baron so I could have enough troops to holy war for the duchy of Valencia. During that a Crusade was called for Andalusia. All of Ireland came in once massive force with Mumu at the front. Most other christias kingdoms just followed that Irish blob around mopping up scraps. I got caught in the lower county of the duchy of Valencia and had the last 4k stack down to half before back up got there. We won the battle and the Pope just goes here ya go this Kingdom is yours now. Also he has no Sympathy to Islam perk and thats v dumb

verbal enema posted:well jeez guess my modding career begins now TBH, modding CK2 really demands the lowest barrier of entry one could ask for. Just a mind willing to learn and skill with Notepad and Excel. And you can pretty much mod most things due to the language being a pretty straightforward one, once you get the basics down, sans the interface and graphics ones obviously. So I'd say good choice in the end.

So I just got suggested to play a coop game with a republic, all players as a house. I never thought of the idea even though it's probably well known. SO, anyhoo, this got me thinking : any other good semi co-op/friendly backstab ribbing playthrough known? It got me thinking that hordes could be fun with every player a head of clan. Anything else?

Is the Plot to Revoke County intrigue bugged? Every time I've tried using it, it's never fired. Right now, I'm using it on my vassal earl who owns a county within my capital duchy. I've recruited literally all the listed potential plotters and I'm sitting at 200 plot power. I even have my spymaster building spy networks on the county for the boost. After a year or so, I cancelled the plot and restarted it since I heard that plots can bug out this way. I even manually invited all my plotters as opposed to auto-inviting, but still no event fired after ~two years.

Instead, once you get enough support for your plot, a decision pops up that allows you to send your demand. You should see the "Important decisions are available" alert at the top of your screen.

I always wanted to do this. I always assumed you could either go full internal strife or even switch up who's doge/khan every now and then via elections or submitting to a demand for a new khagan. I bet nomad would be more fun for the non-ruler players since individual clans tend to have more teeth than patrician houses.
