Having the ruler designer DLC turned on (even if you didn't use it) also blocks achievements, IIRC. Just un-tick it in the launcher when starting the game.

Crosscontaminant posted:It doesn't; the one achievement I have was from a short ironman game where basically all I did was get married, where ruler designer was enabled but not used. This. What's funny though is if you go to start a game, use the ruler designer, decide against playing that character, return to the main menu, and try to start another game without using the ruler designer, ironman is still disabled. So once you've used the ruler designer at all, you have to reset the game before you can play ironman.

I can see that modding, savescumming and such would make achievements trivial, but the lengths the game goes to ensure you never get one unless the stars are properly aligned is kind of baffling. Especially considering achievements don't actually matter nor are in any way meaningful besides giving you an extra objective.

Technically, none of what we do in these games matter. I guess it really ruins some people's sense of immersion/achievement when their fake empires are ruled by fake people.

I recognize her father as the former richest character in the game. He lived to 72 as a male courtier in my republic capital just soaking up money since he was 16. Apparently she inherited every last penny, and one of her 3 bastard children will get it all when she dies. Then they will die unlanded and all the money will disappear.

^^Edit: Give them a city when you next conquer one. They can spend the money to improve it. Or give them a castle, they will form a new dynasty anyway, and can put that gold to good use.Volkerball posted:
It would be cool if charitable characters could actually give their money to poorer chars, or donate it to holy orders or the like. That said, merchant republic characters can get filthy rich. I'm losing so much money because I'm mostly designating young guys my heirs, because I've been really successful with my breeding program. My last 4 rulers have been geniuses, and my current ruler is also attractive, which isn't that useful honestly. Do you let your inheritance cycle through your old guys to collect their gold?

Or give them a castle, they will form a new dynasty anyway, and can put that gold to good use. Technology is the holdup for the most part, not money. Most of my vassals are already stupid rich anyways. But that's a shitload of money to just have fall into the abyss, so I'll keep an eye on her bastard child for now and maybe figure something out. quote:It would be cool if charitable characters could actually give their money to poorer chars, or donate it to holy orders or the like. I alternate depending on the situation. With a constant rotating stable of 60+ year olds, you can take the seduction focus, and usually pop out several sons before you die in just a few years. Then you can repeat the process. It gives you a huge boost in adult male courtier numbers if you want to focus on building more trade posts. The old guys usually have a shitload of cash as well, so if there's some old man with an absurd amount of money, that plays into your decision making when you're deciding your heir. An instant 7k gold is nothing to sneeze at. You can use the ledger to sort your dynasty members by the amount of gold they have for a quick look at who's gonna bring the most money to the table. Some of the richest are often in their 30's and 40's. On the other side, if you've got a 17 year old genius with double digits in every stat while your ruler is on his deathbed, you know your realm is totally set for the next 50ish years if you pick him. Transitions don't seem to be as bad when you just follow the seniority, but your ruler can seem to die just when your fears of revolt have passed, which is annoying if your top priority at the moment is aggressive expansion. But if you choose 17 year old perfect heir, you're going to have to pay out the rear end to get him elected, even with liberal assassination of his opponents. Inbred dipshits are always the ones who live to 77 for no reason, so you obviously want to avoid your heir being completely incompetent. Just check the wealth of everyone and don't use stats as your sole criteria for selecting an heir. Sure your 17 year old genius may be a perfect heir, but there might be a 50 year old strong guy with really solid stats and 5k in the bank that may be a better choice. Or he may not be. It's all relative. vyelkin posted:Spy on them, imprison them, and banish them, then build ten new cities across your realm. There's no way in hell this still works but I'm totally trying it anyways. Only people I've been able to get money from banishing since whatever patch has been adventurers, who usually have about 500 gold.

How's that Nadu game going

verbal enema posted:How's that Nadu game going I snapped up Afghanistan while the Jibrilid caliphate was facing a revolt in modern day Iraq, and I only had to kill about 5,000 men to do it, despite me being at about 90k men, and the Caliph being at 70. Couldn't have gone any better.  Then my goal was to build vertically, but my ruler was about to die. I had a not so great guy stats-wise as a potential heir with 4,500 gold. I really wanted the money, since I was 12k under my retinue cap, and I needed to expand my trade route. The drawback being that I tend to think the bigger your vassals are, and the farther you are from the vassal limit, the better. So India is divided into just 6 different multi-kingdom states.  I could easily throw all my African holdings under one king, and then I would have a demesne of over 1000 holdings with only 7 vassals. I was curious to see if I'd just gotten lucky with stability so far, or if my demesne was actually sustainable, so I went ahead and picked the guy with the money who would be less capable of preventing a revolt over the broke rear end genius kid. Upon inheritance, the faction strength never went above 95%, and within a year or two, it was sub-50%. So with confidence that the realm was as stable as could be, I went to work on my trade network. To start, I sent a fragment of my retinue to blockade the silk road route that bypasses India, forcing all trade to come through me.  I set up a fort there, and it appears no one can do poo poo about it. They've been there for a while now. Then I invested about 5k in my trade network.  A major silk road city bumped the income of Mahoyadapuram to floating around +/- 5 of 50 gold.In the screenshot, it's at 46, while the ocean based non-silk road ports are at 15ish. So it brings in triple the income. Before this playthrough, I thought 20 was about the best you could get a post to perform. Silk road trade posts are hugely overpowered. Unfortunately, you're only allowed to build them in counties that you personally hold, meaning you're restricted by your demesne limit. At least that's what I thought until I noticed that my number of trade posts had increased without me building a new one, and discovered this.  That trade post is in my families name. I did some testing around, because some vassals seemed to build posts that were considered their families posts, while others would build posts that would be considered mine. This didn't seem to be influenced by government type, level of title, whether they were a direct or indirect vassal, or anything like that. But what I did find out was that if you personally hold a county on the silk road as a merchant republic, and you build a trade post (letting the construction process complete), and then hand the title off to a vassal, the post will remain yours 100% of the time. I tested around with this, and as you can see on the family trade route map, my family now owns quite a bit of random poo poo on the inland parts of the silk road, despite personally holding none of those counties.  All of the inland posts that are directly connected to my trade zone get the trade zone and connected to capital bonuses, as well as all the silk road bonuses, and I can build upgrades on them as I wish. What that means is that with the right process, you can build an inland republic that runs basically the entirety of the silk road all as one solid trade zone, with basically every buff the game allows you to have, on every post, with a stacking effect. This was what I'd wanted to do since I heard the silk road was going to be in Horse Lords, but I thought it was impossible. So now I'm debating on closing the book on the Nadu game after I do a little more testing with it. The game plan would be for my republic to be based out of Oleshye, in the Magyar Khaganate.  From there, I could build a connected to capital route from my capital to the silk road exit there on the east. And from there,  From Oleshye in the northwest corner, I could gradually expand my network east to Mongolia, back southwest to the Mediterranean, and then south east to Basra. From Basra, I could build trade posts along the southern coast of Persia with 0 competition, eventually meeting up with the western-most Nadu trade post. It would fill a little over 60 trade posts to get to that point, with an absolute ton of room for expansion north and east into India. I've played probably 20 republic saves, and this India one showed me a whole other level. Republic income fluctuates a lot, but I've seen +60 a month income, which I've never seen before starting at 769 iirc, and it's not even the year 1000. In the Oleshye save, the potential is beyond stupid. I feel very confident in saying it's by far the most profitable republic that CK2 would allow you to make, which is something I've always kind of looked for as someone who almost exclusively plays republics. My India trade zone currently has a value of 4.2k, which is... a lot. I'd bet with Oleshye, I could get it to 10k like nothing, with nothing but clear skies ahead. So idk, we'll see. I might do an LP of it if I can perfect a method to do it. Volkerball fucked around with this message at 01:38 on Feb 1, 2016 |
