Roland Jones posted:Personally I think Conclave is pretty fun. Not always being able to have the best council if you don't want to piss off your rear end in a top hat vassals can be annoying, but playing politics with it is neat and the new way laws are broken down seems better than the old one. And you can always tell your vassals who want council seats to suck it and/or get them to like you in other ways if you still want your council to be maximized stat-wise. I don't know if its really playing politics. For me it's figuring out how much getting a law passed will cost, since 90% of the time most of the council will be against it. Owing a favour as a king is the loving worst since it will undoubtedly be used to undo something that cost you a poo poo load of money to get passed in the first place. Is there any way to see what someone's type will be when they are on the council? I know malcontents have to hate you and loyalists have to love you, but the rest seems fairly random. What is a good way to get people to like you enough to be loyalists? You can't really throw enough gifts at them to get from 10-20 up to 80 or so, and 5 per honorary title doesn't really work either. E: does any one have a good guide to making good marriages? I had married a bunch of daughters off to various kings, and now the kings of England vigrously try to press their claim on my kingdom. Should I only marry sons off to other kings and marry my daughters off to powerful dukes that give me good troops for alliances, but I don't have to worry about trying to take a swing at me?

NihilCredo posted:After the new patch, is it now worth it to get Conclave or would I still be generally better off without it? You will either enjoy Conclave or hate it with the fury of 10,000 suns. Personally, Conclave has joined Sunset Invasion and Songs of Yuletide on my list of "DLC that should never be activated under any circumstances". This might be because Conclave and its accompanying patch changed so many of the game mechanics at once and I don't feel like learning how to play all over again. If you're new you might have less of an issue with it, but all it really does is make the game slightly more difficult and make education more predictable.

http://www.ckiiwiki.com/Council_vote I haven't had too much trouble getting loyalists on the council, personally. You just need to accept that sometimes the most competent candidate doesn't like you enough and sometimes "powerful" vassals are going to have to just suck it up and stay off the council. Also generally if my council isn't voting the way I want it to I just replace the troublemakers. But yeah don't owe your councilors favors, though you can game that by firing them immediately after your law change goes through. e: If you want to keep your current councilors (they're actually powerful vassals or something) you could use carousing focus to make them your friends, unless they're shy/temperate/depressed in which case they're probably going to keep declining your invitations (or if they have <-25 opinion, in which case you'll probably have to accept they're going to be malcontent if they're on the council). The party cooldown is only 90 days now, so you can just invite the same guy (and no one else) over and over until you're friends. Depending on traits you might have 75% chance each time, too. Just don't do this if they're crazy or an impaler or they might eat you. Staltran fucked around with this message at 17:39 on Sep 2, 2016 |

By far the most annoying part of Conclave is not dealing with your own council, it's your liege enforcing Realm Peace when you're at 90% warscore trying to take land from a fellow vassal.

Man I got the Life and Death event chain as the Umayyad Sultan but it ended up resulting in my guy dying and his spirit going into a newly born boy. That said, the kid has every positive trait I had and none of the negatives, so he's gonna be a really cool dude, but still. drat it I was so close to an immortal.

My immortality run was ended by wrestling with an antelope.  then my heir decided he didn't want to inherit, so it went to my second son who is way to young to be dealing with this poo poo. Doesn't look good, will be surprised if my game makes it another 10 years let alone the 30 needed to produce another heir.

widespread posted:e-excuse me WHAT Well, "custom" in that it's based off of your primary title. In essence, if you don't like the de jure titles available, you can make a higher tier title based off of your primary lower tier title. So if I have the Duchy of Franconia, I can make the Kingdom and eventually the Empire of Franconia if I have enough realm size (at least I think it's realm size). You can also use the Customizer DLC to then change the name of that empire.

The General posted:My immortality run was ended by wrestling with an antelope. Yeah I'm now stuck with an eight year old on the throne. Luckily my regent is a cool dude so as long as I can keep the council under control everything should work out. I really need to get my reincarnated old self in line for the throne but I know precisely dick about muslim open succession so we'll see how that goes. Interestingly enough the reincarnated kid is an island on the family tree and has no parents or direct relatives. He's just listed as a kinsman. This kid literally just materialized the moment my old ruler died. Honky Dong Country fucked around with this message at 20:15 on Sep 2, 2016 |

So, I was trying to do that whole 'aim to get achievements, in order to gradually learn the game' thing, and I guess achievements are disabled in the tutorial? Now I have a wife and two kids, and nothing on Steam to show for it.

Mein gott. The most important fix at all slipped under the radar - wars for county claims on baronies now accumulate warscore when you hold the appropriate barony. No longer do you have to roam all over creation if you want to take a castle from a holy order.

Not that long, certainly. It's been a persistent problem that I've noticed over most of the lifetime of the game. edit: Hm. Looks like using a favor to demand that a vassal institute gavelkind succession doesn't actually up the favor.

Hey so I have not played CKII since Charlemagne came out. Could anyone point me to where I could read up on the drastic changes that have happened, or explain them to me? I saw in the past few pages a bit about managing the Council now (and that they are not just deployables anymore). How about Tribal Mechanics and that kind of stuff? I bought the more recent DLC on sale and shelled out for Reaper's Due since it seems so cool. Any other new mechanics that I would need to worry about? Like how does the Silk Road work? Thanks!

Conclave was advertised as the You Can't Paint the Map Anymore DLC/patch and that's mostly what it is. The conclave council can be handled just fine... if you take your time and slowly build your demesne before going on conquering sprees. Once your personal power is enough to crush any and all rebellions, you can stock the council with loyalists and systematically (but slowly, it will take decades stretching over a few characters) strip the council of all power. In fact you welcome faction revolts because they enable you to regularly strip your most annoying vassals of their titles after you crush their revolts.* But it requires you to very patiently build your own power base and take care never to expand fast enough that most of your vassals taken together can be stronger than you.... and where's the fun in that?  * But be careful not to depend on the troop count your 22 Martial ruler musters when his heir has 6 Martial.

Sorry to ask this again but I kinda don't understand what is going on here:   Is something bugged here because I honestly don't understand why I can change my inheritance DESPITE vassals disliking me (count and up). Apologies if there is something really obvious but I kinda don't understand.

So, I'm about 400 some odd years into my immortal doges reign. I've conquered all of Britannia and pretty much conquered the kingdoms of West Francia and about half of Aquitaine, I pretty much bisected the French empire. But there's just... so much of it! It's pretty much just me and them in Western Europe at this point. Give or take some parts of Spain and about half of Italy belonging to the Byzantines. I'd heard about the Big Blue Blob, but man.

Shaman Ooglaboogla posted:Republics don't seem to work at all with women. Islamic countries do work, but you still can't marti-marry. This isn't strictly true - you can matri-marry, but your marriage target has to have gender laws allowing matri-marriage as well. Since the AI never raises gender-equality laws (at least, I've never seen them do it), this means that you can only matri-marry within your own court.
