Tanks are kinda wasted on invading the USSR

I'm assuming 'full' equality is going to be locked behind Catharism and such anyway. But I'd really like it if they opened up women for republics and maybe even some branches of Islam?

It isn't locked, it is just supposed to be a lot of effort to achieve and something the AI will never do. Its just there as a "well you want to have that 30 martial daughter lead your armies? Better start changing poo poo then. "
Essentially just if you were part of the crowd that wanted Absolute Cognatic succession without switching to a religion or culture, here's an option.

Does it work for republics and such? I guess that's really tricky with matralineal marriage. I know I always enjoy republics and muslims less, knowing half my kids are basically useless and it's all dudes all the time.

Goblin babies did nothing wrong.


What's a good character and start to start learning Nomads with? My first attempts at Horse Lords ended with the Yabguids stomping over a bit of Khiva before my 26 year old Khan died with an infant son and the realm passing into an AI death spiral which is going to end in me getting annexed.

So yeah, any good/fun nomad starts?

Conclave looks cool as hell.

I'm a sucker for more internal realm action, so this expansion looks pretty drat sweet so far. That said, I'm a bit curious about the names of the 'Status of Women' laws.



Correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't "Significant" and "Notable" be switched around? I always got the impression that "significant" was a, for lack of a better word, stronger than "notable".

As an English major (:lol:) I'm inclined to agree. I'm not keen on "notable" at all honestly.

Edit: I might go for: marginal, moderate, significant

It's almost as if this game is developed by Swedes or something. This expansion looks fantastic by the way, I wasn't thrilled with the eastward crawl so internal mechanics is really enticing.

Going to assume it's meant in the French sense of the Assemblée des notables - meaning women can be part of your council, even if the land isn't under Absolute Cognatic succession (which would be Full status)

I would assume it was that not unknown for women to hold positions of significance in the court, but it was really noteworthy for some jobs - steward or chancellor, for example - to be held by a woman. So it would be:

Traditional - barefoot and pregnant in ye kitchen. Can't hold any position.
Marginal - can tutor children and that's about it.
Significant - can hold some positions of relevance (Spymaster etc) and honorary titles that don't completely lack power.
Notable - Odds wounds, the Count de Bourgeois allows mere women to govern his finances! Can hold any non-military title.
Full - women can hold any position including Marshal and Commander.

I love how much Paradox are still doing with this brilliant, brilliant game. With the possible nerf to map-painting, more internal mechanics are just what's needed. I very rarely buy expansions at full price but I have so many hours in CK2 it seems rude not to.

i, a paradox forum user, am personally deeply offended that paradox has chosen to depict women as anything more than babyfactories and concubines, and furthermore

Won't they come around when they remember their beloved Byzantines had no less than three reigning empresses during the CK time period, and god-knows how many empresses-regent?

(On that note, why is Irene of Athens' religion Catholic in the Charlemagne scenario? She opposed the Iconoclasts, but never showed any real sympathy for the Pope...)

lol this is the game where you can kidnap women from other countries and force them to be your sex slaves, but it's got an "SJW agenda" because some laws might allow women to hold some positions of power, sure.

Anyone who has played After the End, any idea why some of the Americanists in Florida can get concubines but some cannot? I cannot for the life of me find any differences. I thought maybe it was a cultural thing but nah, unless it is bugging out here and there.

Unless I'm missing some incredibly minor thing here (entirely possible, I haven't really done tribal anything), no that isn't it. I dunno whats up with it. Some of the mouseketeer guys have concubines, some don't have the space in their sheet. I chose the independent guy west of them and I don't have the option for concubines but one of my vassals does? It is all kinds of weird.

It might just be some weirdness with Americanism being in there with the pagan stuff and not showing up right. I was deeply confused when I realized the atom worshippers were in my religion group.

Who was that one lady who married a dude and basically she'd ride into battle with him as his queen? Was that Eleanor of Aquitaine?

A lot. Not so much for the map itself, but for filling it with titles and characters to hold them.

Isn't war score meant to tick up as long as you control the holding in question or does it only go down when you don't control it? I've been fighting a war against the Knights Hospitaller for 7 loving years over 1 barony which I have held the whole time, I've been beating them and their allies in battles and besieging their allies' holdings yet seems the only thing making the war score go up is to walk all across Europe besieging their baronies 1 by 1. That seems dumb. If I achieved my objective and they have had no success whatsoever dislodging me in 7 years then...shouldn't I win?

I've noticed that if it's a minor holding it doesn't tick up. Sucks big time when someone's main holdings are on the other side of the map.
