please give me anything to talk about besides the fact that democrats are allowing millions of americans to be evicted from their homes

ShootaBoy posted:

Well you're already halfway there since you reformed, but now you need to get Legalism built up and you need to go feudal. To go feudal you need to have a stone hillfort in your capital, so start building that up. Once you've got that you should be able to go feudal, but be warned, going feudal will make you weak for a while, since all your vassals will still be tribal and your own levies will be decimated by the switch.

Your levies should be fine as of either 2.5.2 or 2.6, I forget which, but if you are playing with the current version you should have full levies after switching.

Thanks, Jazerus, for the CK2+ infos. While I am looking for things to steal, I saw that "more decisions visible" UI mod a few pages back. It's a good idea. Anyone that feels like answering: What other UI tweaks would help you play? I have my own list which I am slowly trying to add in, but more to think about could not hurt.

Also please tell me how to get rid of the 4250 event spawned raiders who are constantly raiding Samarkand and burning down my Silk Road trade posts. For some reason they hit mine but completely ignore the one between them that is owned by another family.

Lacking a leg you sit about and talk/read more than able bodied dudes.

If you defeat the raiders they are blocked from raiding you for 5 years. Perhaps the other family already did?

I refuse to believe this actually existed as it does on the map. There is no way a loving peasant would be able to figure that shitshow out. They'd naturally have gravitated towards each other as power always consolidates.

There's a reason why every king ever tried to centralize power.

I'd love if the province window showed a detailed religion description like you get on the character screen.





The way it is now, it's really hard to get in-game info about religions not followed by holding owners.

e: Oh and it would be great if you could see the size of a defending garrison+levies before you actually started sieging. Right now garrisons and unraised holding levies are separate, so you have to do the math yourself.

I doubt it, because the raiders have half again my numbers split between LC and Horse Archers and the other family is my vassal.

In decreasing order of importance:

Keyboard methods of scrolling up and down in the Find character window. Up and down arrows, or Page up and down - preferably both. This would save me so much trouble!

Keyboard methods of scrolling up and down in the Ledger.

A keyboard-only method of selecting all my raised armies and/or fleets.

A 'go to this province and merge' command for armies. (Ability to set a rally point would be nice.)

A keyboard method of scrolling up and down in the message log. Maybe Ctrl-Up and Ctrl-down?

Implement the same "would agree if bribed" icon in the character finder that already exists for plots.

The "out of diplomatic range" icons in the character finder are a huge step in the right direction, but what I REALLY would dearly love is a checkbox to filter out everyone who isn't in diplomatic range so I don't see them at all.

Is there a good way to recover Ironman saves/is this a known bug?

I finally got a computer that can actually run CK2 OK, my partner and I sat down and played into the wee hours of last night.

We decided we'd have a go at an Ironman game (because we didn't really think we'd bother savescumming, just playing for fun) today, played for a couple of hours this evening and then the game crashed when I went to do "save and exit". Going back in, the earlier Ironman game we started before and abandoned is there, but not the one we were playing. Are we hosed?

As a nomad ruler, what should I do with holdings in provinces that I conquer? Pillage then distribute to Khans/keep for myself as needed?

Also, should I pretty much always keep my Horde on the map? Should I ever dismiss it like I do feudal levies after a war is over?

Sorry first time playing a nomad in a billion hours of CK2 and it's quite different.

I wonder if they changed something in the way AI prioritizes holy sites and reforming? Germanic reformed for me in my latest game, and I'm all the way down in eastern Anatolia still trying to get the descendants of the Parthians to their old dominance. So I didn't have any influence in the area.

Any counties with two holdings in it does not count against your land limit. Keep them! Do not keep the counts/dukes though (revoke their titles).

Keep your horde at all time. The only reason to dismiss is that you are toying with your Army composition or that you're going into heavy bankruptcy (even then, the answer is usually PILLAGE).

One last thing, some play differently, but I prefer having around 8 clans of weak power than 3 or 4 clans with stronger retinues. Eventually you then end up with about 20 owned land for 5 of their each.

Roland Jones posted:

I mean, if you gave the duchy viceroyalty out to someone, then they became vassal to a different king viceroy under you, does the duchy viceroyalty go to you still, despite them having a different direct liege?

I believe it does, yes.

Edit: That being said, when a vassal is a viceroyalty (duchy or kingdom) and they rebel. Their title immediately reverts to a non-viceroyalty title. So your viceroyal dukes who rebel under your viceroyal king will suddenly have a regular duchy title which the king can then revoke. Titles that change in this way do not turn back into viceroyal titles naturally at the end of the conflict, win or lose.

It does, and its even annyoning, cause 99% of the times you get the warning it is about commanders

Speaking about, how about a button to auto assign commanders based on martial skill? Its annoying to have to assign commanders every 5 minutes and almost always Im just going to choose whoever has the highest martial

Would there be any way to add tiers to nicknames so we could get some of the rarer ones that would replace more generic ones when we have the traits for them? Seems like most of my Emperors get The Great or The Wise at about 10x the rate as any others. Or could we get a decision or event to try and curtail uses of nicknames? Something like "The peasantry has started referring to you as King Henry "nickname"" and you could either embrace the nickname or make it a punishable offense to use it? Give like 80% of it going away, 10% chance of it sticking anyway, and 10% chance of getting a worse one the "King Henry the Thin Skinned"

There was a crusade for Andalusia. But only a few years before that there had been a decadence revolt and a few smaller rebellions at the same time so the totally unifyied Umayyad Iberia turned into a patchwork of different states. The Umayyads did managed to hold on to their tiny bit of Brittany at least.

I'm more impressed with the Byzantines having parts of Norway and Ireland and those places being fully Orthodox long before the Norse started converting to Catholicism.
