This is an incredible mix of "Sure, I can see how that could happen" and "What the gently caress were they smoking?" Elias_Maluco posted:Also in the event when someone asks you to join a plot, there should be a link for the plot target Yeah, this. I'd also like to be able to auto-choose commanders. I do rarely dole them out to people other than whoever has the highest martial score, but only rarely. Honestly that title feels like a bit of a mis-step though, it adds an extra bit of busywork but doesn't really make a big difference to how things play out; I stuff all my best dudes into my one or two big stacks and go to town. I'd ask whether it couldn't be better done by reverting to letting anyone lead without needing the title, whilst giving an opinion bonus to any commander who was in a fight for you, or something.

Darth Windu posted:Auto commander just using the highest martial score is a problem becauseyou don't want council members as commanders and they often have high scores Yeah, there's also the issue of commanders who are fighting their own wars - they will often reassign themselves from your armies back to their own, leaving you with a flank without a commander and no warning.

I'd actually like a different warning notification for missing commanders than for missing other minor titles, because I always have the Designated Regent position unfilled, which makes me miss when a commander slot empties and suddenly I'm trying to take on a slightly-larger army with no commanders on my side.

Actually I often assign lovely, troublesome councilors as commanders just for the slight chance they'll get imprisoned and executed/bonked in the head and become incapable/straight up get killed. Anyways auto-assignment of commanders would be great, but I'd rather have an auto-fill button than an ongoing toggle like the "end known plots" checkbox so I can still assign manually without having to remove other guys if I need to.

I often make my sons into commanders to get them some extra prestige and gold, plus if I'm playing a Viking I can then go take them on raids to get the amazing Viking traits. An auto-assign button won't know that I want my craven 4 martial son to be a commander even if he never actually fights a single battle.

An auto-assign button won't know that I want my craven 4 martial son to be a commander even if he never actually fights a single battle. Which doesn't really matter since you can swap commanders more or less at will. Punch auto-assign once, then replace the worst of the autoassigned commanders with your idiot son. The only worry I would have about auto-assign would be missing really good commanders (like literally anybody with Siege Leader) because the more qualitative judgments are hard to make with just a decision. It works fine in a lot of mods like Elder Kings for non-military minor titles, though, since those are tied directly to education and stats, which are simpler metrics.

Omnicarus posted: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" Since the last patch I've noticed two-thirds of the people who get on the College of Cardinals are "the Holy". Seems like the likelihood of getting the Holy from having enough piety was ratcheted way upward. It's kind of annoying.

Edit: I did some Googling, didn't realise Ironman auto-saves to cloud... ...doesn't matter though, because my cloud save directory is empty! The abandoned Ironman game I was loading before was stored locally though  I guess the lesson learned here is "Don't play Ironman". Edit2: Just noticed that whole "create account" thing on the first screen, maybe that's why cloud save was empty? (Just created one.) But why in God's name would the game not warn you about not having an account/not being logged in when you start an Ironman game? And anyways, it already did save one Ironman game locally, just not the one I actually cared about... Paradox

Is there a way you can always click a portrait, regardless of what interface you're in (educate child, arrange marriage, etc) and bring up that character's sheet? Old versions of the game (around Old Gods I think) let you right-click and select to go to that character's page, but it's not part of the right-click menu anymore. And sometimes right-click performs an action like selecting the marriage partner.

One thing that would be useful is the ability to either search by being in line for inheritance (so I can exclude heirs as well as current title-holders when doling stuff out). Another nice thing would be a single button on the char search that applies "Non-landed dynasty member and can be given a title" without having to go and set specific options.

Okay, I'm finally back home (Spent yesterday and most of today away from my computer), and I've decided to take a break from the base game for a moment and try out After The End finally. I checked out some stuff on it (including multiple video LPs that frustrated me more than anything, for various reasons), and I find myself enamored with The Fifty-One, because that is a great name for an Atomicist tribe. Sadly from what I've seen in actual games they, much like The Mouse, tend to fare poorly, getting devoured by Comancheria fairly quickly. Anyone have any tips for surviving, both as a tribe in general (it's been ages since I played a non-feudal game) and specifically as The Fifty-One?

Of course I have a Hodor. What sort of peasant doesn't have a big burly simpleton to carry them around? That being said there was such as prosthetic legs in the medieval period. For example Grettir's Saga, which was written in the 13th century but takes place in the viking age and is probably loosely based on real people and events, partly revolves around Grettir's great-grandfather a man called Önundur "Tréfótur" or "Tree-leg". Önundur lost his leg in the battle of Hafrsfjord sometime around 870 fighting against Harald the Fairhair. He is described as being "the bravest and most agile one legged man in Iceland. which granted isn't saying a lot but it still indicates that prosthetic limbs were well known to medieval people, even in the desolate backwater that was medieval Iceland. Archaeologists have also found the remains of prosthetic dating back to Imperial Rome, Shang Dynasty China and Ancient Egypt. Of course the reason I know this is because I have 1+ learning.

Deceitful Penguin posted:Get an alliance with Sierra Madre if you can, the Professor if you can't, try and subjugate the Arixan tribes and start out by trying to destroy the Neo-Gnostics, then the Mormons Yeah, the Sierra Madre definitely seem like the best way to not die early on here. Out of curiosity, when it comes to subjugating and the Become King ambition, was it that you had to use your one free subjugation before or after taking the ambition? I can never remember. While it doesn't matter too much here, since there's only one other tribe on your starting kingdom so you'll get one extra subjugation anyway, it's still probably worth using right. Thanks for the game plan. I'll try that; while making The Lone Star seems like the obvious eventual goal, getting land away from Comancheria is probably the way to go.

Before also if you have Charlemagne just go for a titular kingdom/Empire, I usually do that when I'm on the other side of Comancheria playing as the Airmen Titular kingdom is important because it means you probably only have to get one other legit kingdom title, then form the one you stole land from as the third It's also usually a hell of a lot simpler than trying to go for the legit empires, as they are usually way, way WAY too loving big and it's kinda irritating

FreudianSlippers posted:Of course I have a Hodor. What sort of peasant doesn't have a big burly simpleton to carry them around? It would probably depend on how much leg you had left. If it's an amputation below the knee then you basically have one and a half legs, and a basic balancing prosthetic can be made from wood and leather. Above the knee can be a much trickier proposition. As I understand it, making a good fake knee joint is hard. A solid peg leg is possible with primitive materials, but it is going to be heavy, painful, and unwieldy. You wouldn't be able to crouch or kneel. And a big ol' peg leg that might be okay for walking will look ridiculous on horseback. I've never used a prosthetic, but I imagine one made of solid wood would be a lot like a full leg cast, and those are inconvenient as all get out. I can imagine a lot of people deciding to stop being active and instead turn to more sedentary pursuits. More than the sheer inconvenience though would be the trauma, assuming it happened as an adult. A man going through a crippling injury may well think things like "I am not a real man now" "what do I have to live for?" "What is my purpose in life?" "Why me?" and so on. The months of physical recovery will likely be accompanied by a lot of contemplation and philosophising. (Of course that would be equally true for other life-changing injuries, especially eunuch.)

I'm not a big fan of the supernatural stuff, but if it's ambiguous and it's done right it's fine. Like "possessed" is fine - they could just be insane/diseased or they can be literally possessed by the devil, and you leave it up to the player to decide. But now that the game explicitly spells out exactly what diseases someone has that doesn't work so well anymore. Stuff like werewolves and immortality? Fun once in a while but generally not what I'm looking for in this game. I guess that's what the option to turn off supernatural events is for. Also whoops my 7th son was all set to inherit all 3 of my kingdoms by election, then I did "found a new empire" with my 76 year old king and now I'm back to gavelkind and my lovely eldest, graying son as my primary heir. Gotta wait 10 years to change to elective, but the young son still gets all the kingdoms. lol a shiny rock fucked around with this message at 10:40 on Sep 19, 2016 |
