Crow Jane posted:Sadly I can't break things up under Gavelkind, and it'll be ages before I can get enough laws passed to switch to something else. I'd been planning to not actually form any countries (except for the original Eire) until I had enough prestige to almost immediately form an empire, but this unexpected acquisition of Pictland has kinda screwed that up. De jure drift is also starting to gently caress me over, and France and Germany have apparently taken over big chunks of England in the time I've spent slapping down rebellions and getting assassinated. I really hope I haven't run into a wall with this, this has been a pretty fun run so far. If you have Pictland, Eire and most of Wales why don't you try to form Britannia? It only requires 800 or so prestige and it sounds like you have most of the territory already.

You can't destroy titles under gavelkind can you? Might be easiest just to go feudal and switch to elective or seniority. E: left the reply open way too long

What causes the Varangian Guard to start (very slowly) gaining men over and above its 3150 default? It's currently sitting at 3276 and the captain is not landed. I've seen this behaviour before but I never could figure out what causes it.

First order of business once I get home will be dropping Tribalism, though I'll miss being able to go make dinner or something while my vassals do my work for me. Unrelatedly, my ruler called someone trying to forge a claim a "narrow-minded clubfoot" last night, and for some reason that's making me laugh for far longer than it should Crow Jane fucked around with this message at 18:55 on Feb 23, 2016 |

I remember talking about this when it came to playing games as a mercenary band, and I think the only factor in size growth is time since the creation of the mercenary group. It was definitely not something interactive.

yes and - Added a number of new insults and compliments to the dynamic insult/compliment system for traits. - Added special childish insults/compliments to many traits. Younger children will now use these instead of the adult ones. that's cute, I'd love some examples  also this is interesting: - Added new traits Brawny and Frail, which are similar to Strong and Weak but non-congenital. - Added the traits Shrewd and Dull, which are similar to Quick and Slow but non-congenital. - Events giving Quick or Genius now add Shrewd (except Devil spawn). It is possible to stack Shrewd with quick/genius (  eugenics)and the usual CK2patchnotes.txt material: - Event 64080 shall no longer cause men to impregnate themselves - If you manage to seduce your spouse it will no longer be considered a scandalous act of incest (unless you are married under by certain religious ceremonies) - Committing suicide now gives you a strong negative general opinion modifier.

It's Found a New Empire (at 8000 prestige) or nothing Creating Britannia won't show up under the intrigue menu, those decisions are only for the "custom" kindgoms/empires. If you can create it you will get a "title can be created" notification at the top of your screen. However, you need 80% of the land so you'd probably have to control a fair bit of England as well as Ireland and Scotland. If you want to check how close you are, you can look up the title in the title finder (bottom right, beside the person finder) and it will show the requirements (and what % of the land you control).

You can find your De Jure empire title easier by clicking a province, then clicking either the duchy or kingdom CoA in the lower left tab. Tick the "show de jure" tickbox in the title screen and the empire's CoA will show up slightly above the tickbox. Also for all I care seduction focus might as well become useless if only it'll stop the rampant cheating. I don't know if loving other people's wives was as rampant in medieval times as it is in CK2 but going through five wives in a lifetime as the loving pope-emperor of Scandinavia was infuriating as gently caress. I had no clue if there was any Yngling blood left in my family line. "Oh poo poo he sacrificed every previous wife along with the cheating vassal to Odin, maybe being unfaithful isn't such a good idea" -said apparently no one ever

The best patch note was something like "The AI will no longer declare war on you during the learning scenario" - seems like kind of an oversight that something like that made it this far along! Also, is the learning scenario worth doing for new players? I have a buddy that wants to get into the game but isnt particularly enthusiastic about watching youtube videos to learn the ins-and-outs.

I owned this game for a very long time without ever really playing it besides a couple of sessions of literally falling asleep trying to get through the tutorial. Then a friend of mine hosted a multiplayer game, invited me in, and talked me through the basics in about five minutes. I was able to learn more or less everything else on my own in short order once I understood enough to start playing.

Later on, when I can get home I'll take some screenshots to point out what to click. In the meantime,  you'll probably still need to collect some more land from England since it takes owning 80% of the dejure counties. So keep conquering!

I wasn't enthusiastic about it either until I started playing the game. Then I really wanted to get into it. I only watched an episode or two of Arumba's series, and that was enough to set me on my way.

I've seen this behaviour before but I never could figure out what causes it. Time. All of the default mercenary companies and holy orders have a base size value that is then multiplied by the game year (broadly speaking). So they will get larger as the game progresses, and will be larger at later start dates than at early ones.

DStecks posted:Because the Templars never have enough money to lend out; on account of whenever they do, an AI immediately snaps it up before the player could possibly know it was an option. Which will be the problem with seduction now: players will never be able to do it because as soon as a woman's "gently caress off seducers" timer expires, an AI will immediately pounce on her and trip it again. Yeah, I can't really imagine any way this won't be the case. Still, it's a ton better than every woman in the world being seduced over and over and over and over and over and over, which is what happens now.

Elias_Maluco posted:Make it so that the same moron cant try to seduce her again but others can That's definitely one way to do it, but it does have the problem of just how many Seducers there are in a game the size of CK2. If there are ten seducers in a court, it's likely that one of them will succeed with any given target. Failing against one person doesn't lock you out against others, so all ten can try with the next person and the next. The end result looks slightly better than how it was, but still not great. Another way to handle things is to add a human-only buffer zone to account for people's imperfect timing and attention. For example, if someone resists a seduction attempt, then nobody can try to seduce them for 12 months, and no AI can try to seduce them for 14 months. The slight extra delay won't really make a difference to the AI or from a simulation standpoint, but it gives the human time to do stuff. Similarly for Templars. If, for example, Borrow Money takes 100 gold from them, make it so that the AI can only borrow once they have 120 gold, while humans can borrow at 100. I have no idea if this is possible/reasonable to program so it's really just an idea.

Separate player and AI "No means no!" flags is probably a good idea so that it's still possible for the player to fail to seduce a target but doesn't limit the availability of other targets. I think most of the complaints about it are about the AI behaviour anyway even if it can be sort of overpowered for the player. If it ends up that you have a hard time finding desirable targets it'll just end up that nobody uses that focus because it doesn't really offer anything else.

Hey, sorry if this has been covered already, but seeing as the trait-improvement ambitions are no longer available, what happened to the event chains that were previously in those? Have they (or some, at least) been integrated into the various focus options, or have they been dropped out? Since I'm mainly thinking of the old flying machine/"cunning plan" (more cunning than a cunning fox's cunning teacher of cunning!) event chain that you could follow, after taking the 'improve learning' ambition - and I don't believe I've seen any hint of it in the scholarship focus (what with that being more about astronomy and the occult), so I'm not sure what's happened to it. No real reason as to why I've suddenly decided to ask about it really, other than it came up in a conversation I was having with a friend who also plays CK2.

Yeah, they've been moved to the various foci. Not sure if both foci in a given attribute can improve it, but for instance I know that scholarship has the old Learning improvement events. You still need <8 in that attribute to trigger them

(unless it doesn't factor that bonus in, and I'm just unlucky?) Thanks for the confirmation

It sounds like fixing seduction needs to be more about overhauling the system itself (or just making it a lot less likely for the AI to actually use it), rather than just bolting on a modifier. The whole thing reminds me of the old diplo-assassinations - as long as your intrigue was high enough and you weren't terribly concerned about relations, you could just spam them over and over until they worked, and the AI was clearly restricted from using them much or else kingdoms would have been ridiculous murderscapes.

Man, I really wish there were laws for stuff like who can control which holdings (so you could make like psuedo-iqta as others, especially as pagans because its dumb that pagans cant have temples) and make it so vassals would be called like allies. Btw, still incredibly annoying that you have to raise all vassals, then dismiss the ones you dont want. I know why they did it, but surely I gotta be missing something? Also just have the human ignore the no seduction flag. Problem preempted.

There's a button for raising local liege levies in the province screen. It's really useful, since you can do things like giving the king of Jerusalem some random county on the middle if your empire, then teleporting all his troops over there if you need them (instead of having them appear wherever his capital is).

The contextual minutia of this game is terrifying to me, but I still try. If my Character has been leading an army running around my County, and my neighbor in a siege, can I trust the providence of my wife's pregnancy?

why don't they just program the AI to only attempt risky seduction when they actually have something to benefit from it if they just want the traits from it then they could seduce courtiers. there's no reason for my vassals to attempt to seduce my wife unless they're plotting against me.

Is it possible to somehow convert a game from normal to Ironman? I started a new game last night, as a lowly count in the kingdom of sjaelland in 769. Conquered most of Norway by 810, had an utter steamroller of a ruler (genius, high teens in most stats and something in the thirties on martial with two genius sons). Only when I came to save and quit to go to bed its not an ironman.Am I stuck?
