If they're your own ships, use your vassal's ships since they're free. If you don't have vassals with ships try raising the ships by right clicking on each individual city/bishopric/castle and raising them there instead of the military tab. You should get smaller units, I haven't messed around with ships too much lately though.

Roland Jones posted:Hm. When I was trying Ireland out earlier, I could change my realm laws every five years, but playing in the east (where you start with absolute ruler/no council power) it's every ten years. Is getting to change your realm laws more often a perk of having an empowered council, or is this because of some other factor? Yep. Law changes are every 10 years with absolutism, 5 years otherwise.

Unrelated, it's kind of hilarious whenever a Zoroastrian family converts to Islam due to holy wars and their family crest becomes their map icon, because it's usually something like a Faravahar or another obviously-Zoroastrian thing for the now-Sunni realm.

Just wanna say I gave up on CK2 after Rajas killed performance years ago but after Reapers Due the game is running absolutely amazingly smooth, so for anyone on the fence I can say you should def buy it. I have everything running except for Sunset Invasion & Conclave (gently caress councils/losing education ability) and the game feels perfect.

But buy Reaper's anyway because Way-of-Life levels of chaos except now with dubious medical practices is even more hilarious.

Like they aren't that hard to deal with if your demense is pretty close together so you can quickly stack and then gently caress up the smaller ai stacks but like too often at the start of a new ruler its ugh, they're going to revolt or I'm going to sit around for 2 years waiting for the council members to not be discontent. If there were some way to make them not discontent with every new ruler if you make some kind of investment that would be worth a lot. In some ways the best thing to happen on death is some foreign religion trying to invade.

Conclave is good for roleplaying and emergent shenanigans (also making your life even more miserable), very bad for minmaxing and map painting. As such, the community is split. I like it for immersion and difficulty, but I hate that my council cockblocks me at every turn and my councilors are (mostly) no more 20-statted avatars of perfection but regular lovely guys .

A lot of it is purely cosmetic (new faces and unit models).

You're inevitably making your most powerful vassals into councilors since they seem to think that being a duke entitles them to join my inner circle. Having high legality should let me more easily get away with appointing nobodies with high stats to the council. Medieval England employed salaried people like Reeves to serve the King's interest but weren't powerful enough to start trouble themselves.

My solution to conclave is to keep as many of my vassal dukes as possible...children. As soon as they come of age, I murder them. Unless they are actually good at something then I might let them spawn some kids. Kids don't rebel. Either that or I just kidnap all of them and keep them in my dungeons forever.

You can easily get 100-200 hours from that which when on sale at a tenner is pretty decent entertainment to money value. The dlc is mostly good but its only worth your time if you enjoy the base game.

Okay, I am annoyed. I was doing pretty well, was managing to take over Khiva starting from Bukhara in 769 (turns out the Bajanids are much easier to start under than the Abbasids), got my independence, and was holy warring an independent splinter from the Bajanids that was Mazdaki, who had a single county from Samarkand, with me having two others, and a peasant revolt from the Bajanids having the last one. I managed to win the war easily, enforced my demands, and suddenly was defending against three wars with the enemy armies already on top of me. Somehow, I guess the holy wars that were targeting my victim transferred to me after I won or something, and since all three armies were clustered I lost the battle. Thankfully it only gave 15% war score to one of them, but it's still really annoying, especially since just surrendering to one would lose me three provinces, not one, since they're targeting the duchy of Samarkand, not the county I took. Is there any way to fix this? While any one of these losers wouldn't be so bad, three at once after dealing with a war, plus that bullshit first attack, is going to be a hassle, and this really shouldn't have happened; I never got war declarations against me or anything, I just suddenly had three wars against me.

Parallax Scroll posted:How do you turn it off? I updated to the latest version but don't see a way to do it. It's an option when you make a new game, yeah. You can have the Sunset Invasion come at a random time, at the 13th century or later, or not at all. Also, I "solved" my earlier problem. Taids holy warred me for Khiva (i.e. all my land that wasn't in Samarkand), so I wound up surrendering Samarkand to the peasants who already had a province there, beat up the Taids and happened to catch their leader, forced them to surrender, then beat up the two Taid vassals who had holy warred me (them capturing the stuff in one of my Samarkand provinces means their wars didn't end when I surrendered to the peasants as I wound up still holding the stuff they had captured, which turned out to be the entirety of that Samarkand province) until they both white peaced out. Then took the entirety of Samarkand back from the peasants. Now I need to decide what to do next, because while I want to bite back into the Taids and take Merv from them, the Abbasids are huge now and I'm worried they'll jump in. Though Zunbil's still independent, so they might go for that instead. They're seriously massive, though; they have all of Persia (the kingdom) except Khorasan and Azerbaijin, all of Baluchistan, and a bit of Dihistan, and are also eating far down into Abyssinia in the west, plus all their usual territory between those extremes. I hope the current caliph dies soon and they have a massive crisis or something, because otherwise they're going to eat everything.

In England, powerful dukes rebelling against the crown was a thing that could believably happen until, maybe, sometime in the reign of Eliz I? Maybe until Cromwell. By the civil war, the conflict has moved on and the question for the aristocracy is how to keep the entire hierarchy from falling apart.

Will in Elizabethan England how the crown kept the nobility in check was simply by going round to their houses and making them throw big parties and putting up the royal court.

Since when do holy orders cost nothing in maintenance if you vassal them? Is there any reason to ever disband my Jomsvikings? I suppose they wont go back to full strength if raised? Even if they won't fight same religion enemies (Is this even still true). Just the boost in troop count is enough to discourage most factions. And raiding is a lot more profitable. genericnick fucked around with this message at 13:07 on Sep 10, 2016 |

Don't they only fight religious enemies? I remember at one point seeing my stack of like 30k turning into 20k when engaging because the holy order decided they weren't going to fight other Christians but this was patches and patches ago.

Sorry, edited that in a moment after posting it. Still, totally free armies. Army costs on the whole seem wonky. Mercs seem to cost about two - three times the maintenance your own levies take. Vassal mercs take about halve and untaxable. Also the plague doesn't gently caress around. Had a genius heir ready and was about to set aside all concubines to not spoil it with a younger brother. One was pregnant. Twins. Now, I thought I could maybe throw a few dice, open the gates for a bit and hope the Black Death would take care of it for me. My ruler was immune because when he got it from the court physician in isolation said physician cut off his face and cured him. The good man died right afterwards. Little did I know that you can't go back in isolation immediately after opening the gates. All my immediate family died in short order.

Sulla posted:Seconding this, but I'd like to know everybody's opinions on the big non-fantasy mods also (which is better right now, CK+ or HIP?). I'm fairly new to mods but so far I use: Heir Traits - Adds a trait icon to a character indicating if they are the heir to a title, and the rank of that title. So when scrolling down a list of characters you can see which ones are for example the heir to a duchy. Invitation Traits - Adds a trait icon that's supposed to indicate if someone is likely to accept invitations to court. It's not especially accurate, but it can help a bit with skimming character lists. Better Looking Garbs - Portrait mod. Makes the characters look different and I'm still getting used to it. Patrum Scuta - Adds more and better looking coats of arms to the game. Looks great. None of these modify any of the actual gameplay, but those first two mods aren't Ironman compatible I guess since they add new character traits.
