It hasn't been 100 years since the start of the game though.

I remember that game, by end of the game the Emperor(who was himself a eunuch) could have replaced his throne with a beanbag chair filled with the testicles of his enemies. We were so busy trying to cut each other's balls off that it took us a while to notice that we had lost Armenia to a mercenary company because the doux had forgotten to pay his bills.

 Meet the Banu Taghlib sultanate, the new and improved Abbasid clowncar! They started out as Sheikhs in Baghdad and carved out their own kingdom when the Abbasid empire imploded. They just managed to reconquer Byzantine Spain just as the Aztecs have landed. EDIT:  I spoke too soon!

I recently got back into this, started a game as the Kalbids in Sicily. I've done well for my family, defeating the Hautevilles and declaring myself Sultan of Sicily, and even seizing an opportunity at a moment of Byzantine weakness to successfully invade and conquer Greece (I installed a cousin as the head of a merchant republic based in Constantinople). My eventual goal, however, is to take Italy so that I can use it as a launching-point to strike at the heart of Europe and spread the light of Islam to the infidels. Well, I'm encountering major clowncar problems here. The Pope, a beggar on the streets of Rome (which I have conquered and converted its population to Shia Islam), keeps declaring crusades, and my terrible allies in the Middle East and North Africa can't figure out how to send their reinforcements across the Mediterranean to help me. This leaves poor ol' me with my levies of about 40K to deal with endless swarms of tens of thousands of Christian crusader knights. How do I smash Christianity enough to end the Crusade, as well as Catholicism, as a means of warfare?

This is why I very rarely toss the pope out on the streets. I prefer to force him into becoming a vassal instead. I've never had a vassal pope call a crusade on me.

Gavelkind succession still seems a bit buggy. I had settled my nomad as feudal, and while I was passing out my 400 titles my leader died. My new leader got basically zero "full" counties. I got every county in the capital dutchy, but all the cities and temples went to my siblings. Edit: and it appears ticking warscore doesn't apply to taking these back. So I have to march my army into Khiva for cities in Spain. Freakus fucked around with this message at 19:56 on Dec 25, 2015 |

I most often have vassal popes as Jewish khazaria. I find that subjugating the pope before I settle as feudal makes life as a new Jewish kingdom a lot easier. It also helps if you're settling in Jerusalem because you've already broken the back of the Sunni clowncar. E: to clarify, the last time I used a nomad subjugation against the pope it still took Rome from him but he kept his other county. I then gave him back Rome to smooth things over a bit and from then on kept my chancellor there. So in the end I was Israel with the pope as a vassal.

Honky Dong Country posted: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. This is true. In the game I was in, I wound up subjugating Hungary, then having everyone else come help when the pope declared a Crusade for Hungary. We were all expanding in our own directions, which also gave the Khagan the opportunity to expand without worrying about handing things out to the lesser khans because hey, we already had all this land on our own merits.

I just had every type of assassination event fire against me from my Reagent Uncle The last one was just him running in my room and trying to stab me to death screaming "WHY WON'T YOU DIE?!" I survived cleaning bird poo poo off the roof, being left in the woods, a carriage accident, a poorly timed archery competition, and a stabbing all in 2 months. Got like 140 prestige and 20 piety out of it and a new reagent

Does anyone have some suggestions for a easy(ish) second playthrough character? I last played this game a year or so ago and united Ireland as the Ua Chennesailligs. I've got all the DLC minus Charlemagne and Horselords, but I've never played a non catholic for more than like 20 minutes

Was going to pick up the latest xpac and some DLC since it is on sale, but the reviews are saying the seduction mechanic is broken, and some saying it is fixed. Should I skip the way of life xpac?

Should I skip the way of life xpac? No. The added functionality is worth your wife and daughter getting banged by five dudes as soon as you look away. They've toned it down in patches, so it's not nearly as egregious as it used to be, but you will still have problems with your wife sleeping with some random count in the rear end-end of nowhere.

Is the "Forbid to Lead Armies" button broken in CK2Plus? My guy seems to get called up for every stupid peasant rebellion and minor scuffle the realm gets involved in despite it being clicked. It's going to gently caress me over because after 5 years I haven't had a singular chance to stay home get an heir.

Unless ck2+ changes it, leading armies doesn't have an effect on you getting an heir. Your sperm can travel great distances back to your court no matter where you are in the world, so long as you aren't imprisoned. It does increase your chances of untimely death or becoming a vegetable though.
