I want some kind of max crown law mod that lets you just do whatever you want and execute anyone who says no / has too much land. The council mechanics may make for a much more interesting game, but they really make you sympathize with Henry VIII after awhile.

Well you can abolish council power after removing their powers every 10 years. Good luck getting council support to strip them of their own power and survive the constant wars for restore council power. Also good to know having your army beat in Jerusalem will result in them shattered retreating to Mali. Why'd they put in this broken EU4 mechanic?

I was slowly progressing setting them to "Ruler" and had just one or two left and then they all reset to Council. Was it because I surrendered in a war to lower (Tribal) Organization?

Infirm no longer seems to be the sooner-than-instant-death sentence it once was. I was mucking around with Offa of Mercia and he became Infirm at age 47. I was praying I'd last out long enough to not need a regency, especially as I'd just switched focus, but he went on to live to 74 before becoming Incapable and another two years after that. Something odd has come up in that game. I got a claim on Gloucester, but when I tried to press it I was told I had no valid CB. Things I have noticed: The reduced opinion swing from the Papal cocksucking mission has made it all but impossible to get a loan, claim or divorce from the Pope. Alliances seem strong. The King of Denmark came for me and my two Duchies with a prepared invasion force mustering three times my full levies, only to run into half again his own force in allies because I'd got an alliance with the Pictish king and had Sussex and most of Wales as tributaries. Then just to rub it in pretty much everyone in Britain who wasn't already on board volunteered to sign up and suddenly he was outnumbered three to one. This would be a little better if it weren't for the fact that the Pictish king had already dissolved an alliance with me twice in the space of five years - once for not turning up to his war (he called it just as I was wrapping up two wars of my own and my nobles were PO'd) and once for not taking the blame for a dickhead noble. There should really be a malus or outright block on making alliances with someone you think has broken the terms.

Serene Doge Dreadnought has lived a full life. For a few hundred years, after losing the title at the beginning of the game, House Participazio labored for every province and trading post with the scheming assholes of the other families at their neck every single day. But we were strong, oh yes we were. Always, we had the strongest armies, always the most prosperous trading network. Dreadnought started his reign in war, and his captains grew stronger, his bloodline thicker, his dynasty greater. He is a humble man, but he knows that every kingdom on this earth truly owes their crowns to him. He's easy to get along with, but every step you take is followed by a counterstep, every gaze with a calculation. He has courted kings and emperors, married numerous daughters and nieces away to the most powerful rulers in Europe and beyond. And now, at last, he is Doge. Shortly after the last Doge died in an unfortunate accident, he went insane. Who knows why? Perhaps it was the gallons of blood on his hands, both from bravery in combat and countless schemes. That never stopped ol' Dread though, and with a truly masterfully arranged trading agreement with a distant kingdom, he has secured enough funds to ensure that the throne of Venice will stay with the Participazios until the endtimes. Nothing but victory remains. The last thing we did before we lost the title in the 700s was to rename the grand city of Venezia to Dorktown. Perhaps the insanity started there.

The only thing that can be seared into one's mind as a tribal-turned-Merchant Republic in Ireland is an undying, eternal hatred of Vikings. GET OUT OF MY ISLAND!! I swear, I am going to fabricate a claim somewhere in Norway and scourge out every single Germanic Pagan on the continent just so I can have some damned peace and quiet!

It is good that the ai finally seems to notice when you don't turn up for their wars and get bitchy about it. I still don't care for how cranky the vassals have gotten. Like with the sons of abraham expansion I could still mostly ignore the pope but get involved in pope related stuff if I wanted at considerable expense but with conclave these fuckers have to be micromanaged. A lot.

CrazyTolradi posted:It was basically a wedding party for a noblewoman, the French court loved to have wild as gently caress parties and the whole "wildman" thing was considered to be an hilarious jape. It may also have been an attempt by Charles' brother to kill him, as some accounts claim that he threw the torch at a dancer, knowing Charles was in the group. Have to watch your back at those noble parties. Realm Peace. Can't really keep it on forever, though. Vassals consuming other vassals and becoming powerful enough to be dangerous to you is just a thing you have to deal with now.

I figured out that the secret of getting the council to do what you want is to shower them with money until they owe you favors and just cash those in.

I also wish that favors interacted with more systems in the game like forcing your vassals to stay out of factions, guaranteeing viceroyalty grants, and messing with the CoC and stuff like that.

quote:Froissart's chronicle of the event places blame directly on Charles' brother, Orléans. He wrote: "And thus the feast and marriage celebrations ended with such great sorrow ... [Charles] and [Isabeau] could do nothing to remedy it. We must accept that it was no fault of theirs but of the duke of Orléans." Orléans' reputation was severely damaged by the event, compounded by an episode a few years earlier in which he was accused of sorcery after hiring an apostate monk to imbue a ring, dagger and sword with demonic magic. The theologian Jean Petit would later testify that Orléans practiced sorcery, and that the fire at the dance represented a failed attempt at regicide made in retaliation for Charles' attack the previous summer. I hope the next DLC is just a massive pack of flavor events and other enhancements, including an event where you have your ring and dagger imbued with demonic magic  martial and/or intrigue at the cost of piety and/or reputation if exposed?

Louis, Duke of Orléans, was later assassinated by John the Fearless, Duke of Burgundy. Louis was so unpopular that John didn't even bother denying that he murdered the king's brother.

I'm running into an issue playing a republic. I landed my heir with some conquered territory and when my current leader died the entire country switched to Feudal government type. My son is only a count, so I don't know how his own titles could have effected his inheritance. Having played republics a few other times, I've never encountered this issue. Also: if I was to purposely lose the election he becomes a patrician instead and the entire country remains republican. Am I missing something or is this a bug?

I have no idea but paranoia about poo poo like this is why I never land my designated heir. When I do land dynasty members it's always some half retarded cousin.

So I just loaded my Ironman save where I went from Venice to HRE. I take one province and the entire planet forms a coalition against me. Is this working as intended? Because if so that's ridiculous. Is there any way to roll this poo poo back without compromising my save?

Just wait out the infamy for countries to start leaving the coalition. They're purely defensive so as long as you don't start any more you'll be fine.

I wish you could tie changes in dejure title structure to the timeline, so the Byzantines aren't invading Venice in 867 and so France doesn't inevitably split with Aquitaine in 1066 and whatnot.

This post confuses me, because you CAN do this in title history (this is why, for example, the Duchy of Aragon is de jure Aquitaine in 769 but de jure Aragon in 1066). Maybe Paradox hasn't bothered to fix Venice and Aquitaine?
