I'm hoping to get the doctor, who can beat rear end cancer, this weekend when I give it a whirl...but knowing my luck it'll probably be a series of quacks mutilating me. Still, those are always the most hilarious ones in the end. Is it possible to become one-armed, one-legged AND one-eyed? Basically a halfway Black Knight from The Holy Grail?

I'm thinking about getting back into this again, after a while gone. Are there any good guides/overviews I can use to quickly catch up or good starter locations that aren't as boring as Ireland? Also, are horse archers (still) bad? I remember hearing that they got hit hard a year or two back and I don't know if that changed. More generally, what's important to know about army stuff if I want to do more than just have bigger numbers and not attack over rivers without getting into the extremely detailed stuff?

Any good achievements to go for coming back? I don't think I have any of the major ones since I've almost always played with mods that disable them.

Before the 2.6 patch rolled out, I had to add something like "zz_" to the front of localisation files meant to overwrite vanilla localisation entries. After 2.6 rolled out, they stopped working, and I ended up switching the "zz_" prefix to "00_" and then it all started working again. Did some internal load order thing in the game get changed around? I swear there was even an earlier time when I had to use 00_ to make sure an overwrite entry was read and used, but then it stopped working and I had to switch to zz_.

Yes, and you can even get an achievement for it. I haven't touched this game since April but I swear, between the new DLC features and the patch changes (by all reports the speedup in 2.6 is incredible) I'm actually hyped to get home from work and...work on the CK2+ compatibility patch.  Honky Dong Country posted:Anybody have any ideas how I can make this happen? I mean if I didn't have the empire, and made a custom empire out of Israel it'd be the Empire of Israel and have that blue, right? I've never done a custom empire. Yes, if you didn't have the empire then a custom empire you create will get the name and colours of the kingdom you make it from. But there isn't a console command to destroy titles ("give_title e_abyssinia 0" or "titleowner e_abyssinia 0" MIGHT work but I make no promises) so you'd probably be stuck with reloading an earlier save or using the Customization DLC if you have it. You could also edit the save file to remove your current empire title but that runs the risk of breaking a lot of things unless you're very painstaking with it and fix almost every single reference to e_abyssinia in the save to point to your new primary title.

I just asked this, in the meantime I've been watching youtubes by some guy named Arumba, but it's probably way too remedial for you.

After 2.6 rolled out, they stopped working, and I ended up switching the "zz_" prefix to "00_" and then it all started working again. Yes, I had exactly the same problem! Solved the same way. Edit: I imagine this patch note has something to do with it: - Fixed an issue for mods trying to remove localisation from the base game's localisation. zebez fucked around with this message at 21:12 on Aug 25, 2016 |

Honky Dong Country posted:Welp, I took all of Jerusalem, built the third temple, established Israel, and restored the high priesthood. Islam is now completely shattered, with moral authority below 30% and Judaism's at 81%. The only downside is Israel is a kingdom, not an empire, so I still see Abyssinian brown instead of that pretty bright Israeli blue. I wish I could destroy my empire title and form a custom one after setting Israel to my primary but you can't destroy your primary title and I can't switch away from my primary title because it's Empire-level. drat it I wanted that awesome blue all over the place. Give the empire title to some pissant vassal. Declare war for independence.

So someone earlier asked about my mod to increase the decisions window from 4 to 6 available slots. Here's the link: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=751790075 It shouldn't interfere with ironman or anything as it dosen't affect gameplay. zebez fucked around with this message at 21:31 on Aug 25, 2016 |

I figured out the empire destruction. Via console fuckery I gave the title to the Caliph, who already had the Arabian empire as his primary and then had him destroy it. Then gave my old king titles back to me and granted my guy independence. It's gamey and a pain in the rear end but I want my Israel primary drat it.

What the gently caress is up with the new EULA? Specifically, part 5. I read through the awfully formatted link it mentions and uhh, while the EULA makes it sounds like you're monitoring my game, the website makes it not sound like that?? Are you spying on me adding the "Eunuch" trait to every karling on the planet or not Paradox???

Deceitful Penguin posted:Oh yeah and reclaim land is in the uhhh "rip_prosperity_events" file, looks like you have to have it on crown focus, prosperity modifier 3 and it has a MTTH of 65 years, shortened by having high stewardship, learning, having a "smart" trait (shrewd, quick or genius), the lifestyle traits Admin, Architect, Scholar or Gardener, Diligent and a Master level education. fuuuck i'm not sure if you could really gameplan around that. why can't i just develop the land whenever i want for like 5,000 gold.

Some of the earliest evidence of human bone cancer was found in mummies in ancient Egypt and in ancient manuscripts dates about 1600 B.C."

I usually read it as "ge at choo" like his name is a threat or something but I'm diggin' the pokemans reading too. Mind you none of these names were put in by me. I always let the game name people on its own. E: I also once played a Venice run where I had all my kids education in Denmark by norse pagans and ended up with a Doge Giovanni Giovannisson once.

Welp. I'm now scrabbling around and trying to find out why the game thinks the user checksum or whatever has been modified, so I can do ironman. No mods, not since the ckean install I had to do to make it run after horse lords, and I'm validating files now. Man I just wanna see if I can do full 769 game
