Man, Zunbil games are loving brutal now that you cant get ultimogeniture early on, I think I must have stabbed my way through at least 20 male members of my family so far. Even worse is that the Abbasids have completely boxed me into the eastern half of Afghanistan (they holy warred and took Zabulisatan, so I'm stuck in Kabul) so the only place I have to expand is into India...and the Indian holy order deathstacks.  Never ask for a hard game, you might just get one!

My court physician castrated me... to treat my case of measles.  I should just shave my head and be entirely Varys, because I've already got the highest intrigue score in the world. If my lieges (I've gone through like five of them now, only two of whom died by my hand) don't pick me as spymaster (perhaps due to a -80 opinion), the ones they do pick don't last long. It is entirely my dynasty's fault that Charlejust's Francia has broken into its constituent kingdoms, and my fault alone that Burgundy, Austrasia, and Germany are separate.

The Abassids have imploded early in every game I've played since Reaper came out. Which I guess is only three. My suggestion is to start over, if they convert those provinces you're pretty much boned long term.

I'm pretty sure I can still do it, I have taken enough land in India that I now have a 10k army, just need to wait for an opportune time to strike. This is literally the only game I have played in months where the Abbasids haven't imploded as well, it's made it quite a challenge.

Abbasids have been having a rough go of it since Conclave for me, it seems. Sooner or later they always get shattered by a decadence revolt. The only thing I can think of is with the way vassals are in Conclave maybe the decadent Abbasid dynasty members are more likely to tell the Caliph to gently caress off instead of shaping up.

I really wish they would implode, currently they span from Morocco, to Egypt, to Anatolia, to India and are actually expanding into the Ughyur Horse Lords which is loving horrifying.

Also: Socotra Hail Satan games are easier now. If you don't have the St Thomas cheev, maybe try coquering the Hindus for the glory of Lucifer? Be sure to invite those christian Turkish courtiers to culture change into Satanic Pirates.

I really wish you could still do that trick to make Socotra a merchant republic, but then again, at least you could try to get a Berber in to really make them go full piracy now.

The holy roman emperor stole one of my vassals. I think he created a duchy and granted it to said vassal count making him a duke like me and thus his direct vassal. I need that county to make the Kingdom, how do I get it back? I have the other county of the duchy but I think a claim would not suffice. Also how do I stop the emperor from being such a prick? I am kind and trusting so it's easy to scare me out of factions but I account for almost half the emperor's troops.

Having a ton of fun with the new DLC anyways, after Matilda lost her battle with cancer at 37 I passed on to her only son - who is a lunatic gay poet with great pox, and managed to burn through 2 wives before he was 21: first one died in childbirth of a seducer guy pregnancy from right before our marriage, well deserved you slut, second one shat her life out due to dysentery and a botched treatment by my drunkard court physician (who otherwise always got treatments right, even an experimental one), third one is still kicking and gave me 4 daughters and a son - lots of alliance fodder, thanks Yolanda. You deserved not getting killed via plot, but now that you're past childbearing age I think I'll divorce you and find a genius 16 year old to improve my stewardship and try to spice my dynasty's gene pool up. thank you CK2 for making me a heartless monster!

Oh man, my branch of the family in Brittany just got kicked the gently caress out. By the goddamn Aztecs. They couldn't hit the huge rear end loving Umms could they? They had to go for them and me in Ireland. UGH. And I was so close to getting them an extra duchy to form the kingdom.  Btw, Scurvy is stupid boring bullshit and so is not being able to invite people with promises of land. BLEGH. ThaumPenguin posted:Why are you a thief.

The emperor tried to take one of my counties once, half the realm rebelled under me when I refused and we kicked the poo poo out of him. It's been almost a century since then and with many emperors revoking many, many counties, they've never messed with the king of Armenia again.

What are the council laws like? Usually the HRE starts with a pretty powerful council - You could pretty effectively stonewall the emperor by getting on the council, setting yourself up as a malcontent, and then buying favours from the other councillors to support you. Since he's blocking you from factions anyway being on the council wouldn't really hurt your planning that much, and if he tries to do anything like declare war, hand out titles, revoke titles, etc. he'll incurr tyranny making the rest of the vassals hate him and freeing you up to form factions with them for a bit. This is all assuming you have Conclave. Your options for loving with your liege are greatly expanded with that DLC.

I just restarted playing CK2 recently due to the patch, starting in my favorite place: West Iceland! ... It's gotten noticeably harder!! I've tried two times to invade Pictland with no success -- the Christian clown car is just too huge -- and the nightmare that is the Scandinavian mainland continually tries to seize upon me to subjugate me!

You can also try it with Finland, but it's tougher now they can do that 200 piety for 2000 troops when in a defensive war thing, though if you do it early enough it still works. After that, just pick your favourite heir and dole out the counties to the rest; it will be simple enough. Just the invasion alone isn't enough; you need to add some more troops, whether from your demesne or tribal armies. Having a bunch of vassals in Ireland helped me take on Britannia well enough. Also turning Iceland into a 12 holding duchy is my current long term plan. It's pretty tough though, because I keep getting the urge to conquer and the MTTH of 65, with only a few 0.9 modifiers ain't too helpful.

Yeah I have it but emperors are being replaced like every couple years because they do tyrant stuff, HRE is a total clusterfuck in this game. I solved the situation with claims, but now my ruler kicked the bucket just as his first male son was born leaving me in deep poo poo. I had a nice grandson lined up... Oh well, let's hope he just murders me and takes over.

So, my insane immortal god doge became a cannibal. Apparently devouring people doesn't give the tyranny penalty/piety cost. Mildly balanced by the permanent -50 Crazy Cannibal modifier, still better than the -80 I went through when half my realm decided to go on a civil war for more council power. Heads rolled. Kind of weird they'd be mad at me for executing people for rebellion 'because I didn't have cause.' What do you have to do to deserve execution if flat out civil war isn't it? Edit: Also doesn't seem to give the 'You killed my parent/child/sibling!' modifier or whatever it is. DMW45 fucked around with this message at 22:17 on Aug 31, 2016 |

You had already punished the rebels by imprisonment, execution is considered excessive and has few valid reasons.
