My physician just cured my Measles...by removing my face. Days afterwards I gained the nickname of "the Frog". I think maybe I should have just kept the Measles.

OK, turns out I was being a moron with what folder to have the mod in welp. But I gotta ask, if Ofaloaf or Steelyglint or someone from AtE is here, why the hell they haven't fixed the bishop issues with the High Church and Ursuline religions. Why the hell does it not work as it should? Is it because they're gender neutral or what?

I usually have all the important kings and such around me marked as special characters but I have to, uhh...block the Khan of Khazaria because he is an insane motherfucker who seems to brutally execute someone, usually a child on a monthly basis and frankly I am getting sick and tired of hearing the screams of six-year olds getting broken on the wheel and impaled on a spike and whatnot also I married a 16 year old shieldmaiden and promply got into a drunk fight with her expansion continues to be quite something EDIT: just in case you think I'm exaggerating:       he's just a horrible person who happens to be the greatest ruler of his era too. I guess he's wise in the "if I completely extinguish their bloodline there won't be any rival claimants left" way EDIT 2: gently caress this baby better watch his back     really just stay away from wheels and objects that resemble wheels in general, nothing too round DarkCrawler fucked around with this message at 20:52 on Sep 5, 2016 |

Fall Sick and Die posted:Is there any actual information about the Zun religion? I've never found anything casually searching apart from Wikipedia It's all pretty scattered. I'm an Iranian studies major, so I have access to some of the few things that mention them and my overlapping goonlove of CK2 made me specifically seek out what little there is. There's coins, the accounts of some Chinese explorers, and the early accounts of Islamic missionary-conquistadors. The coins are actually more useful than the other two. Numismatics continues to be equally one of the most boring, and most important form of archaeology. And I think there's a few chunks of a temple in Afghanistan. Not sure if it's received proper attention, but alot of stuff out there that we know of has only received the most surface level study and not much else. I'm not sure even Balkh has gotten a good modern study, but the Zunbil temple will probably be in better shape when we can finally get a better look. No one knows/cares about it, so they probably won't haul it off to sell to rich fucks as a conversation piece.

FreudianSlippers posted:I read somewhere that it was Hindu sun-cult dedicated to an aspect of Surya but that just being outsiders generalizing and being racist against sun deities and thinking they all look the same makes sense. That's explicitly what the Chinese thought. And according to them Vedic travelers treated their temples as such, which is probably true. But this is going off a few paragraphs in a larger work from a Chinese traveler from more than a millennia ago, so  That being said there's also some pretty major Hindu influences: توح البلدان Futuh Al-Buldan posted:In the year 650 Abdullah bin Amer came to Kerman. He sent Zabi bin Ziyad Haresi to Seistan who came to the Helmand valley and made peace with Pervez, the governor of Zaranj. Zabi ruled for two and half years and after him Abdul Rahman bin Samara became governor of Zaranj. He also empowered the environs of Rakhj and the Dawar lands and fortified the people of Dawar in Jabel Zoor (Zoon) and made peace with them. In these battles Ibn Samara lost half his men of an army of 8,000 fighters. He managed to take over the Zoor idol, which was adorned with gold and had eyes made of rubies. He broke the hands of the idol and plucked out the rubies and returned them to the keeper of the temple and told him: "My intention was to show an idol cannot help or harm anyone."

A lot of them come from specific events, especially related to Way of Life focuses. Also Emperors tend to end up with "The Great" a lot since I think it can be given to people with lots of prestige, and just being an emperor means you'll have a shitload of prestige no matter what you do.

Yeah the same thing happened to me with my first game in Reaper's Due - I was in India and the plague just totally bypassed the entire subcontinent. I've noticed that what can happen is if another disease is present at a choke point, it can sometimes block the plague from spreading into certain areas, because the extra disease resistance from a disease already being present is just enough to hold the plague off.

So I've been playing 769 Tabriz, and... So far it's actually not so bad? You start off as bigger than most other people in the Abbasid empire, so just target the nearby small ones one at a time (I took Esfahan early because I want it to be my eventual capital and sink points into it from early on, though due to weirdness I got beat to upgrading its trading post, which is disappointing) and slowly expand through forged claims and de jure claims and such. The tech requirement combined with the AI's love for moving its capital around keeps your liege from getting to Religious Revocation for a while, so you just need to make sure you always have more troops than your targets. Breaking free will probably be an issue eventually, but prior to that this actually seems pretty safe to me. Is there something I'm missing? So far this is a lot easier than my recent 867 Karen attempts, which have felt a lot harder than they used to be for some reason and have had trouble getting off the ground, and have featured fun moments such as me attacking an army two-thirds my size, in non-defensive terrain, when they already had morale damage from a different fight, and losing horribly, twice in the same game, which completely reversed all the progress I made that war. Edit: Oh, also, is it advisable to try to personally hold as much of the Silk Road as possible, or to still focus on holding multiple castles in my capital plus one or more holdings in the other counties in my capital duchy? I don't know how big a deal the Silk Road is in this game, and given what being Zoroastrian is like it seems like maximum troops is still a big deal.

Is there a current list of every county/duchy you need to restore the old roman borders? I've seen several different maps on the net so I assume its changed patch to patch or people weren't sure if they needed all the counties they had

Then there's a whole heap of individual duchies specified. For the record, regions are defined in the files in map/geographical_regions.txt. Also, um, wow, the new Black Death is not messing around, is it? Came down the Silk Road like a bat out of hell, overran my entire empire, killed all my siblings, tanked levies and income to basically zero for half a decade so far (and meanwhile some two-bit Indian Raj from his mysteriously plague-free subcontinent thinks he can have a go at me for a border duchy in this weakened state - have fun sieging 100-supply-limit plague-ridden provinces in the back end of Baluchistan while the Immortals burn your house down, fucko.)

Does anyone know if there's a mod that adds a way for religions with no heads to call Crusades. I just think its lame that no religious head usually translates to no fun, especially for the Catholic heresies like Lollard that can't do anything. At least regular Catholics have the possibility of the Pope giving them goodies.
