Can someone explain to me how my council members can join factions even when the council is content? It happened after I bought some favors to get the council authority down. Going feudalism as pagan is stress now because it empowers the council. Like a couple of years later (my ruler was the same, no succession had happened) Two of my king vassals joined a faction to increase the council power again, even though they were chancellor and advisor on my content council. What is happening here?

Oh dear me posted:An option to stay paused after a popup. You can actually keep the game paused after closing a popup if you hit space while the popup is open - closing a popup resets the game speed to its current setting, and space toggles the current setting to paused. Family tree filters would be nice but honestly the dynasty tree layout gets pretty unreadable after a few generations no matter what, just because it's so stretched out. One nice option would be some kind of "relation to me" or "relation to X" filter, where you select two characters and it only displays the path (or paths) of relatives that connects them ("relation to me" would be the same idea but it just traces the path from one selected character to the current player character).

Mister Adequate posted: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. Yeah, this Thinking about of it, I really dont know what the commander as a minor title added to the game other than a bunch of slots to micromanage. It doenst makes it any more challenging, it dont really changes anything, it just adds more work Also, often for reasons the guys I assigned as commanders wont show up in the army selecting screen for unknown reasons, so I have to go there again and replace then

This is likely just because top speed has been really loving fast since Reaper's Due, but lately the marriage/betrothal proposals and calls to arms have been disappearing way faster than I can click them or pause the game. Having them stick around for a few seconds longer would be nice. Also I sorta miss the education pop-ups.

Darkrenown posted:What other UI tweaks would help you play? This, so much. Just have an option in the menu to toggle between "leave game paused when closing popup" and "resume game at current speed when closing popup" Also, autoassigning of commanders. During a war (especially in provinces with disease in them) you may end up manually replacing as many as 8 commanders in just a two month span, just let them get autoassigned with a toggle, it's not a hugely important position and there's no real penalty for removing a commander and replacing him with a different one if you want to, so there's no reason to have to manually micromanage such a fiddly element that adds nothing significant to gameplay. Having to manually give people the commander title just adds annoyance, not enjoyment, nor is there much benefit to micromanaging it constantly - most people in your realm with a high martial stat will already have one or more martial traits and/or education, so even if you want to choose based on traits, just autoassigning it to the highest available martial skill guys won't really change things in 99% of cases. Also removing them from the minor titles screen would mean less scrolling up and down through that window - as it is, the most frequently replaced minor titles are the designated regent/court physician, and your commanders, and they're on opposite ends of the list from each other, so it's a LOT of tedious scrolling back and forth every time you open that screen.

I never enable sunset invasion and the antichrist child event chain makes me kinda cringe (it's fun though so in the end it's ok) I love the strange little unexplainable things like the rose bush child, Jesus giving military advice to joan of arc or the gate to hell though, they fit the folklore perfectly and could well be coming from a sort of wild imagination / superstition.

Update on playing The Fifty-One: Wow, this is an intense start. After a few false starts and aborted attempts last night, I'm currently doing pretty well. Allied with Sierra Madre, then called them in when Comancheria declared de jure war for Hobbs. Only had one fight, in which the Sierra Madre leader died during the battle (of wasting illness, not getting killed; I assume that's meant to be radiation sickness from being blessed by the Atom), ending my alliance, but fortunately we already had the enemy routed then. I got only .22% war score due to his death resetting the battle, but I happened to catch the Comancheria king so that ended things anyway, netting me a nice amount of gold and prestige. Then Amarillo declared holy war against me for New Mexico (i.e. three-quarters of my land), but almost all of the local Atomicists came to my aid, then the Comancherian vassal in charge of Estacado also declared on me, another de jure war for Hobbs, and then Pueblo up north attempted to subjugate me. Fortunately, my Atomicist allies didn't discriminate in who we fought, so I wound up dragging them around and purposefully not enforcing demands against Amarillo so I could finish off Pueblo with the extra troops. End result, I'm sitting on a sizable pile of gold, prestige, and piety; meanwhile my wife from the Sierra Madre gave me a daughter (who she blessed with the Atom), and later a son (whose blessing went poorly and killed him) before dying on pneumonia. Which leaves me with a single child, so I can just go Absolute Cognatic when I reach a ten year reign and still only have one heir despite Gavelkind. I'm torn on how to proceed now; everything's looking good, but I'm not sure if I want to start going on the offensive now, likely using my accumulated prestige to raise a tribal army (and possibly mercs with the gold) since my personal forces are still kind of poo poo and my alliance with the Sierra Madre is gone, or to stockpile some more prestige and do a prepared invasion of Comancheria. Also not sure who to subjugate; there's a few possible targets available to me. Man, though. If you survive the initial onslaught here you wind up in a decent position by virtue of all the reparations you get for the wars you win. Just gotta, you know, not die. And not get immediately declared on by Comancheria because then they'll be on you before your alliance is formed and can probably hit 100% warscore before your backup arrives; sometimes they wait a few weeks before declaring on you, which is fine, and sometimes they actually target someone else, but sometimes they'll hit you the moment you unpause and then you're hosed. Edit: Also not sure how to handle going feudal. Just keep upping Tribal Organization as I can, regardless of all other factors since my religion (not being pagan) means my vassals won't get the opinion penalty, I guess?

Deceitful Penguin posted:Huh, that's odd, the committee should be stopping vassals from joining factions I have no idea. Thats why I was surprised. If pagans councillors can join factions no matter if the council is content and war declaration commitee is active then it makes them very hard to play if you have expanded a lot when tribal. Edit: Oh. Thanks Darkrenown. You answered while I was typing this. But this happened after I was feudal if that matters. Maybe because those kings were still tribal.

I love the Aztec DLC and will always play with it, even more now that we can set it to random so they can come up to gently caress your game at any time instead of by the end of the game when you are already a megablob and tired of the game anyway But one problem of it is that, if it comes too early, it might be way too powerful. Perhaps it could scale by date? I mean, its ok that it has 160K army by end game, its hard but not impossible. If it comes in 820, however, 160K is probably more than the whole world combined

This was my brother, who was 19 when he went in at the start of my reign and 64 when he finally died. The process was not shortened by my Physician treating him when he fell ill - a dubious interaction that I think needs to be looked at. I got an event I hadn't seen before. My first wife died, and there was a heartfelt scene of woe where I visited her grave alone and found a keepsake that gave me 0.5 health. It would have been terribly romantic, had she not died when the syphilis she contracted from her lover developed into a sudden outbreak of elephants contracted from her husband.

Deceitful Penguin posted:Don't forget that the Neo-Gnostics are a relatively easy non-Christian target for you; you can reach upwards towards Boulder and whatnot there and they're mostly too weak to fight off a real assault I definitely need non-Christian targets; only get the one subjugation, so after that it's holy wars, and targeting Christians with those will bring the Comanche in to stomp on my face. Tangentially, this has me thinking my subjugation might be best used on a fellow Atomicist, as, despite their keeping the stuff I subjugate instead of me taking it, I can't holy war them, and I need a certain amount of vassals anyway. Does that make sense, or is there still some other person I should subjugate? Kind of tempted to save it anyway, since the tribes sometimes subjugate each other and wind up doubling in size, which could then all be taken with a single subjugation itself, but since they only get one subjugation they can only get so big unless they themselves are taken over, etc. I dunno. It's hard to decide.

I made a buncha Christians into tributes as the Airmen and it was grand. More money, which you need as a tribe and more troops to die for me. As for subjugations, you gotta use your judgement. Do you want to steal all the duchy level titles or wait until someone is about to form the kingdom of Arixo? Do you really want to be that close to the Californians? My recommended direction would be up, through the Neo-Gnostics then heading for the Mormons/Gaians or even the hordes, if any are left. That way, you get enough troops to play with the big boys down below. I forget, to Atomicists get prepared invasions? Those are great when you're an Americanist.
