I heard that the reason that merchant republics are agnatic-only is because they didn't know how to deal with a situation where two heads of houses got married.

Female republics (and matri-marry) is totally moddable and works fine. At least it did (even before Conclave too). I think it's just legacy flags that never were reset up after the Conclave law changes went through. There were some UI bugs, like the patrician election screen sometimes displaying the wrong person if you had a female set as heir, but the right person would end up inheriting correctly. The whole head of households marrying problem is hearsay afaik. lurksion fucked around with this message at 06:09 on Sep 3, 2016 |

Topic of gender stuff, it'd be nice if the highest gender laws in the realm applied to all vassals or a liege had a way to push their vassals towards raising the status of women or something. Passing sweeping gender reform only for it to not actually apply in most of your realm because your vassals don't care to change their laws too, even though, since you changed your laws, they don't mind female rulers and stuff anymore. I don't know, it's just odd, and kind of disappointing given how much work it is to get it to full. At the least it seems like maybe AI rulers whose liege has more status of women than they do should shift the laws up as they're able to when they hit the necessary Tolerance levels and stuff; the flavor text for Full status says that you've not only changed the laws but the general attitude of your populace, after all.

Yeah it would be nice if the AI would modify these laws under certain circumstances (ambitious female rulers I would think would want to raise them, and rulers where their liege have gender status set higher as you mentioned). Although I don't think the AI ever changes the gender preference laws for inheritance so I'm not sure how much effect it would really have on the general percentage of female rulers.

Well, you can make your vassals switch to Gavelkind, I think, right? Maybe a way to push your vassals to implement Absolute Cognatic inheritance if you have it or something the same way would work.

In my new game(haven't got the dlcs from horse lords onwards) I keep getting dudes immigrating from nowhere and instantly "vanish without a trace" the same instant they appear. Are they supposed to be plague carriers on the reaper's due?

Like if you seek out a court physician then decide not to hire the one you found, the game just erases them and their character page will show them as having vanished without a trace. So I guess it might be from vassal events or something, perhaps?

Part of that was reducing the late game character bloat.

Which is just as well, because most court physicians have at least one amazing stat. Rejecting them and keeping them in the court would be a good way to farm super-courtiers. One change that needs making to the Recruit a Court Physician intrigue is that you should be allowed to use it again if your Physician dies. It sucks to find a 70 year old candidate and either have to hire him with the probability that he'll die before you can recruit a replacement or not hire him and go years without a physician.

I'm now hold all of Ireland, Wales and Scotland and I still can't really risk taking on England in a direct war  On the plus side this has led me to starting dicking around with intrigue and inheritance. My heir stands to inherit Toledo from his mum and I have a guy with a weak claim on the English throne matrilinearly married to my daughter who is second in line to the throne. Is there any way to make this all converge on one character?

Rupert Buttermilk posted:I realize it's almost completely different, but has anyone played the CK game on mobile/android? Is it any fun? I heard it's kind of like a CYOA game. I think you mean Reigns. It boils down almost every choice you make to yes/no and has you balancing power in four areas (church/populace/military/economy) where if any one stat gets too high or too low, your character dies and you take control of the next king. It's kinda fun, but nowhere near as interesting as the stories you get from CK2.

Getting it also gets you some unique content for the PC game, with a song and two event chains. Edit: Oh wow, looking at the files for execution methods, there are a lot, with a variety of requirements. Some of which are... Interesting. Some require you be from a certain region and are more likely if you have the right traits (Gardeners are extra-likely to bury people alive, for example), and some are more likely when targeting certain people. Cruel and Wroth people are more likely to do nastier executions, while more merciful traits lead to hanging and beheadings most of the time.

Any recommendations for minimizing mouse movement? I love this game, but never get much more than 50 years into a dynasty before developing RSI and having to stop. A minor culprit is the Find character window which cannot be scrolled through with the keyboard as far as I can tell. (Would a mouse wheel work, if I had one? Ironically the reason I haven't one is that I have a trackball to reduce RSI.) But the major problem is definitely troop micromanagement. Pagans are a particular problem - having to go out raiding all the time and keep sending the fleets back and forth just to stay solvent is a killer. What campaign (or other tips) would people recommend for the least possible amount of clicking?

Mouse wheel works for scrolling, yes. And zooming. I don't have many problems with mouse movement, probably because I have a mouse set to medium-high sensitivity and that has a good scroll wheel, so movement is pretty minimal.

Any good Zunibil tips or tricks? I've managed to become king of Afghanistan but I'm fairly sure reformation is impossible except if the Abbasids explode and even then I'd be ice skating uphill like a motherfucker. India doesn't have many large states, at least in the north, and all the Muslims there are Shia meaning the Abbasids won't rush in to help. So I might try to forge my empire there and just ignore the Middle East. Might try to get as much of the silkroad as I can and sit back raking in the dough until I can afford to wage war on several fronts at once and then make an empire before inheritance fucks it all up.

Strudel Man posted:The main one is to constantly set your chancellor to butter up the Abbasid caliph, since they're the one who can crush you like a bug at any moment. If they like you decently enough, they won't attack you, and you can expand into your other neighbors without severe issues. If you have conclave and decent income you can go one further by buying favours from the Caliph and using them to arrange marriages/betrothals for a NAP/alliance. It's expensive as hell, though and he needs to like you somewhat to allow you to buy the favour in the first place.

A pretty decent chunk of the ones from the event don't have the doctor trait, just mystic and mediocre stats. As for outcomes I think there's a hell of a lot of randomness in there so its hard to tell who's genuinely more effective. Im my current game with a large empire and a lot of +20 learning people around they generally did ok though. Since most of them have gone to vassal kings and I've had to rely on event docs and 15-18 learning peeps things have gone less well. Not that getting a high learning event doctor is impossible it just tends to throw a lot of clowns at me.
