Having barely finished modding in an event chain, can you at least reveal by now if it's going to feature major reworks of existing systems/events, like Conclave did, or not? I only ask because it's really hard to bring myself to keep modding, if half of me is going: "But what if next DLC is stuff you'll want to get again and it happens to overwrite/do poo poo better than you did the last few months?"

Just see if I invite you to the next raid-and-pillage spree, rear end in a top hat. If you're not on ironman, you could just put remove_trait kinslayer into the console. might not consider it cheating in this case.

Alternatively, if you are on ironman, you can open up the Crusader Kings 2/events folder, open oldgods_blot_events.txt file with notepad, find all lines with "add_trait = kinslayer" that offend you and remove them so that it never happens again. Congratulations. Now you're also a modder.

Nothing is lower than a kinslayer, it's used as a sign of the end of times in the Eddas because it's meant to indicate how depraved and despicable the the world has become. So, if anything, the punishment should be even more severe.

Yeah kinslaying goes way back as the ultimate taboo. Next up is love, because putting yourself above your kin and eloping with the girl that was promised to your brother basically made you an outlaw. Social contracts were serious poo poo. If you read a some old folklore a lot of the stories have those two as their core themes.

Deceitful Penguin posted:You're thinking too Abrahamic here. If you sacrificed a family member to them, they'd do a double take and than when you died, make double sure that you know that poo poo isn't cool before throwing you in the sea of blades, forever to be cut and never to die. In that case you probably shouldn't lose piety for refusing to hang your own mother.

My own mother just broke our alliance because she felt that I wasn't assisting her in her wars. I had contributed almost a quarter of the warscore in one war, had just about beaten another by myself for her and was working on the third which I hadn't been involved with yet, but at that point I was at the other end of her kingdom away from most of the fighting, so uhh, that may have been it? That I wasn't literally fighting all her wars at once? I realize what the intention behind the mechanic is, but it seems to need some serious fine tuning.

verbal enema posted:new child education is so much better than the old one by at least 78.23% What makes it better in your opinion? I'm pretty ambivalent about it myself because there are a few options (Duty and Thrift) which are just better than the others. It also seems to reduce the number of traits the child ends up with.

Hell, as (1066) Al-Andalus, I helped the Zirids go from a two-province kingdom to ruling all of de jure Africa plus half of Sicily. The result was them telling me to go gently caress myself when I actually needed their help, and then they got Holy Warred/Factioned out of existence when I couldn't win wars for them anymore

MikeC posted:A strategy and just general quality of life question in terms of how to go forward in a noobie Wessex game. This was from the last page but I just wanted to point out that with Conclave unfortunately due to the new rules you pretty much have to choose a retarded inbred bastard as the person to give the kingdom to because otherwise, even with a content council, they're gonna go "Less than 60 relation score? Lol! Rebellion time!" Within the year as the whole "can't join factions" thing is broken as gently caress. You'll still have a whole bunch of factions but at least no one will join them since they all hate each other. Also, never (edit: or rather only as a last resort) give land to your family. Contrary to all logic, it'll just encourage them to rebell in an insane attempt to take control. TheCIASentMe fucked around with this message at 20:41 on Apr 25, 2016 |

Turns out that you inherit their faction wars and warscore when they die. So when whatever content moron you left in charge gets his rear end handed to him for a decade and finally dies of stress, you get to spend a few years getting his warscore back up from -90 or getting blitzed and deposed/forced into elective from a war you couldn't possibly lose. And you can't just hand it off to the next viceroy, you've got to win before you can do that.

Unlike players, the AI mostly tries to roleplay their traits rather than just treating them as stat modifiers, so they sometimes make non-optimal or downright ridiculous decisions if it fits their traits.

My options were: [Well you suck mom!] (breaks alliance, -10 opinion) [I'm just gonna suck it up she hates me boohoo] (-10 opinion) It's bad. It's very bad. Especially because it's not like you can back out of the war afterwards, or as if it can't take years to reach the front. This is the same game, mind you, where people get pissed at you for like 3 years when you give someone a country without their permission. I mean, yeah, they're fiddling around with modifiers, but I'd think that having something similar to the vassal "Raised levvy" penalty, only it raises until you either fight a battle or finish a siege and no event to auto-end the drat alliance. Let that happen naturally if you piss them off by not taking part. Deceitful Penguin fucked around with this message at 23:27 on Apr 25, 2016 |

You'll still have a whole bunch of factions but at least no one will join them since they all hate each other. I do not have conclave but thank you for the additional advice. I am kind of semi-noob in this game in that i have logged a lot of hours but sporadically over the long life of this game and with the constant DLC and patch releases, I am never in a position to know a lot about the game aside from the basics which seem to have not changed much. But I totally agree that family members with their auto -20 relations due to Title claimant in addition to the -25 relations when they actively want your title makes them dangerous vassals. I almost wish I did have conclave since the game has become kind of boring now while I just wait out truces and steamroll the next Muslim duchy. I am only really sticking it out till the Jerusalem crusade gets called. I might release the Europmean holdings and just play as King of Jerusalem once this happens. Speaking of which, what is a good efficient way of transitioning your core holdings to another area. Basically, my 2 Duchies are 'the poo poo' in terms of troop production and income, but short of exceeding my demense limit for a long period of time, it seems difficult to move your main holdings somewhere else while keeping up a strong personal levy and income situation. If I don't continue this game, I do have Horse Lords, Byzantine and the Muslim DLC. Which is generally more interesting to play for my next play through.? The only major DLCs I lack are Charlemange, Rajas, and Conclave.

Man, there is something seriously unbalanced about Umayyad being able to form Hispania 100 percent of the time with very little resistance from what is supposed to be the all-powerful Karling dynasty. I mean for gently caress's sake, in my current Mercia game they own Brittany, while Europe is about as balkanised as I've ever seen it, and anything south of France or Byzzies is owned by either Hispania or the rock-solid Arabian Empire. Saxony conquered half of Scandinavia and Eastern Europe before converting to Christianity though, so that's nice.

In my Armenian game the HRE spans France Germany and Italy since Charlieboy decided to man up, and the Byzantines have collapsed. Also best part is that the Zunbils control all of Afghanistan and are a pretty major threat to the Abbasids who are in the middle of a huge Shia rebellion. This game owns

I don't see old gods on that list, but my favorite is the Norse Denmark area. Gotta reform that religion ASAP. Other than that, Muslim Spain (fighting against France in the long run) or Muslim Middle East (taking down the byzzies) are fun. Also, the easiest way to transfer to a different set of holdings is to give the new set to your heir and just keep building them up with your gold for them.

Schizotek posted:The flanders thing seems out of place as a major rule. I've never noticed it making much of a difference It's a really major thing in the 1066 start, because if Flanders is de jure HRE, then it means that France is dead because the HRE will declare war for every single county over and over again until France explodes, without fail. If Flanders is de jure Francia, that changes quite a bit.

And make it so theocracies can have two titles of the same rank? I want to make the Coptic Pope the Prince-Archbishop of Alexandria by granting him the Duchy of Alexandria, but I can't because the titular title of Coptic Pope is a Duke level title and theocracies can't have two titles of the same level so I am unable to grant him the duchy.
