We're never getting China due to lag issues right? Truthfully I'd be fine with a reverse of the current map say going from India to the Pacific and loping over Europe for performance reasons. China alone would offer a ton of net mechanic potentials.

People with weird Indian crusades: Is your game picking India over Europe/Middle east or is it all Catholic? It's 1396 in the screenshot, so who know's what the world looks like.

It's picking India over the Middle East, in my game the Abbasid blob was huge and stable for the entire game. 3 Crusades for Jerusalem and 3 for Indian kingdoms despite Jerusalem, Anatolia, Egypt, Africa et.c. being under Sunni Abbasid rule during the Indian crusades.

I can't be the only one to want Paradox to not expand the already large map any more, can I? I just want more exciting poo poo to happen in the existing areas. More DLC like Way of Life, Conclave, SoA.

I wish there was more "event-lines" like the WoL observatory quest, especially the mystic side. There are choices to make and risks to take. It's my favorite :v:

A buddy of mine and myself have been playing an Ironman Save and trading off via email when a ruler dies. Is the game smart enough to realize that different computers are being used (and thus disabling achievements) or is it not aware of those kind of shinanagins? I don't care either way, I just like Ironman since otherwise I am weak and am tempted to use the console :/

- The Rise of the Shi'a Caliphate event should now be able to fire again.
- Characters with positive relations with their liege will not start overthrow factions
- Fixed an issue with granting a title to an unlanded courtier of a vassal
- Fixed an issue with some wars being invalidated when they shouldn't
- Can no longer form alliances with characters you're at war with

E: Haha beat the dev.

It's on my list of annoying stuff, no idea when there'll be time to change it though.

Beta patch updated today, most interesting changes are that granting a title to a vassal's courtier no longer makes them their vassal, and the inconclusive ends to many wars when anyone died should be gone.

Woo.

The notification spam when you dip under the 5% infamy level and coalitions dissolve is a little annoying too. Without checking in depth, my guess is that it's giving you a notification when the current coalition leader leaves it, saying that the coalition has dissolved, but in fact, it just puts another member in charge...which then gives you yet another notification when they leave, and so on and so forth.

You know what would be a really nice quality-of-life improvement? Being able to save character search variables and reload them with a click. I use the character finder constantly but it's pretty consistently for one of about four purposes, and having to jigger the separate variables every time I use it for a different thing gets so very tedious.

Am I the only one?

Failing that, just making the defaults more sensible would be nice. Maybe I'm weird but 95% of my searches are My Religion Group (default is Any Religion which I never use ever), 90% are for Child=No (default is Any) and 90% are for Ruler=No (default is Any). So. Much. Clicking.

I would be cool but what I really dream of is to be able to filter "would come to my court if invited?" (yes, no, if bribed).

Or at least an icon (green if yes, yellow if with bribe) on the list so we dont have to open the diplomacy menu to each one and hover the "yes" button to see if there's a chance

I only ever use the character finder to find "clean" courtiers to hand titles out to (male, adult, my religion, my culture, not a ruler, not of a great house, not in prison), or to look up who the world's greatest [diplomat/general/administrator/spymaster/theologian] is (all defaults). And even with only those two options it is pretty tedious.

Yeah, I can understand why with the current map size. I just wish someone would eventually do like a China Warring States to say the Mongol period game...well that or a mod. It just seems like a ripe period and unlike Sengoku isn't coming before the systems and mechanics are in place. But I'm biased as I did a history focus in college on the area.

In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

webmeister posted:

Okay, so where am I going wrong here? I'm slowly getting into this game as a complete newbie, and I'm following along with CapnAndy's tutorial Ireland LP. Obviously a lot of stuff has changed since he started, but I can generally get the gist of stuff. I started a new game in 1066 Ireland as the petty king of Munster, and declared war on Deasmhumhain (Desmond) to bring it within my duchy like CapnAndy did. I smashed his troops in a couple of battles, sieged out the first two holdings and with the warscore at 100% I claimed the victory.

Now the next step he took was booting out Earl Muiredach via a Plot to revoke the county of Desmond, but when I try and do that the option is greyed out (see screenshot below). I satisfy the requirements, but for some reason I'm not able to claim it. Any ideas?

I'm on the most recent version but I haven't bought any expansions after Republics.

If anyone's wondering (no), I eventually managed to figure this out. The problem was that because I'd declared war to push my de jure claim on the county, my victory meant that I had a 10-year truce with the count so I couldn't revoke his title. The part that was confusing me was that on the count's diplomacy screen, it didn't mention any truces (it only showed them on my diplomacy window. Once the 10 year truce elapsed (during which time I revoked my other vassal's county and beat him into the dust), I could revoke the original vassal's title and bring all 3 counties into my demense.

Next up on the chopping block: Leinster :getin:

Unifying the kingdoms requires you to hold all four king titles, not be the emperor of Britannia.

Volkerball: Oct 15, 2009; by FactsAreUseless

Looking through the event code, I'm confused by something. Do the Hashashin automatically start getting destroyed in 1200, or is it only if they have no holdings left? I'm not sure why they'd have the year in there if it's not an event triggered automatically by the date. This is the first one, that has a year 1200 in the code.

code:

# The Assassins scatter!
narrative_event = {
	id = 88002
	title = "EVTNAME88002"
	desc = "EVTDESC88002"
	major = yes
	
	picture = "GFX_evt_shadow"
	
	trigger = {
		has_landed_title = d_hashshashin
		has_global_flag = assassins_founded
		NOT = { year = 1200 }
		NOT = { demesne_size = 1 }
		NOT = {
			has_global_flag = assassins_destroyed
			has_global_flag = assassins_scatter
		}
	}

That's followed by an "Assassins are destroyed," and then later by an "Assassins resurfaced." They aren't going to just disappear on me are they?

That event requires BOTH that the year be after 1200 and that the Assassins have no holdings left (that's the demesne_size condition) so as long as you protect them they should be fine!

I can't even remember what life was like before I figured out that you could do that. My go-to empire management strategy these days is to have a Content Imbecile Vassal King and transfer the vassalage of anyone who annoys me under him as a punishment and I can't imagine that working if I actually had to scroll through every character in the country looking for that.

Right now about 5.5k. Eventually I'll have 22 level 1 silk road markets, of which 13 will have a level 2, of which 5 will have a level 3, and that's just from the plan I had before I started the playthrough. There's still infinite room to grow if I want to, and I came up with a few ideas tonight that I'm really interested in seeing. I've only built up about 8 posts right now, and I only have 47 posts total, so I'm just scratching the surface. I expect I'll clear 10k pretty quick. Personal best is around 6k with almost 70 posts iirc, so this run is going to get silly.

cock hero flux posted:

I have thousands upon thousands upon thousands of gold worth of poo poo that needs done. It's getting done really fast though. I dropped 1100 on a level 3 silk road city, then bought the last of my landlocked trade posts while I was saving up for an 1100 gold University 2 in my capital city, then bought that. That whole process only took a few minutes.

Finances as of now.

Since it's NOT = { year = 1200 }, it looks like it actually requires that it be before 1200.
