Nitis posted:Maybe, but I will say that, as the Samrat of half of India, 10 of my last 12 rulers were lunatics. The rest died too soon to gain the trait, apparently. I founded the Sogdian Empire and my ruler died a week later. Since then nobody has taken the throne and reached 50. CK2 loves its little curses, I think.

My eunuch emperor was 704 years old in 1453, and not once did Satan offer him his balls back, I feel cheated. You'd think a lunatic who owns the Necronomicon and was known as ' the Accursed ' would be on good terms with the big guy

With 1000+ hours played I considered myself pretty much done with the game but this expansion has gotten me back in hardcore. I was playing a duke in Lombardy and I came down with smallpox. I picked the brave treatment option because why not... Physician knocked me out and cut my balls off. I already had a son so not a huge disaster and I got better but I jailed the doctor anyway. I sent out for a new physician and I got a Jewish mystic. Next time measles came around and I picked the mystic treatment because it can't be worse than castration right? Dude murdered my daughter as a sacrifice to the virgin Mary. And I can't complain too much because I got better again. Eventually I die and continue on as my son. I learned my lesson about epidemics so I make sure to go into seclusion as soon as they get anywhere near me. Unfortunately this new duke was a glutton so I immediately eat all of the food stores and make everyone hate me. And then a day later have another glutton event where I have no choice but to eat my granddaughter. Thankfully the cannibal opinion penalty is only -10. This is what CK2 is all about.

I have a story to tell, a story about my son.  He was the most perfect heir a king could ask for, and the most perfect heir I've ever seen. By the time he was 21, he'd become charitable, kind and humble, as well as leading Kembre's troops into our contributions in the Crusade against the mohammedans occupying lands that were rightfully Aquitainian. He produced fine children and was loved by all. I felt secure in the knowledge that my realm would be handed over to such a worthy successor. I just knew that he would be the one to finally break the backs of the damnable Picts and to bring the quarrelsome Irish into the Kembreian fold. He would be a man that could stand outside my shadow and make his own legacy, becoming the greatest king Kembre had ever know. But it was not meant to be. I was in my twilight years, 56 had come calling, and with it infirmity and illness. My physician did his best, but he was only able to slow the process. I had accepted my fate, not every man stays in good health for his entire life. Then, in the final days, when my mind was starting to go, disaster struck. My son, my wonderful, perfect son, died. The flu took him from me, and from the kingdom. The loss sent me into depression, yes the line was secure, but who could hope to live up to Baldoen? I could have placed all of my hopes on my grandson, but that would have unfairly burdened the boy. Instead I paid one last visit to my wife, then died of cancer. TL:DR My super heir died of flu right as I was finally kicking the bucket, and I saw an event that I'd never seen before where I was all sad over how such an excellent successor had died and it gave me the option to bang my wife or give the new heir craven with a tiny, tiny chance at brave. After visiting my wife, an event made her pregnant and made her stressed out of fear of disappointing me.

I'd like it if it was made more obvious when you're going to get the tyrant penalty. I got a -40 penalty on one of my dukes for that and I'm not entirely sure how. The only thing I've done recently that I can think of is enforcing realm peace in order to let me change my succession laws before I died. But I don't recall seeing anything saying I would get a penalty for doing that and it's only on one guy so I'm kind of confused. Other than that I'm having a lot of fun with the DLC and the beta patch. It seems I've been having more luck with surviving illnesses than most of you, but it has only been 100 years and I have a pretty upgraded hospital in my capital. Also was it added recently that female rulers could lead armies and get the crusader trait, or has that always been the case? I don't play as women all that frequently so I never noticed before.

I've been playing as a Breton with Tanistry and all went well until I created the Empire of Prydain. When I did that the empire and all my kingdoms changed to gavelkind, but I immediately changed them all to tanistry. But they keep changing back! Does inheritance by a non-king reset everything to gavelkind, or something? E: Or is it when someone with a non-Celtic culture inherits? It seems wrong to me that the law can change itself to suit my culture on day one of my reign, when I am not allowed to change the inheritance law until I've ruled for 10 years. Shouldn't I have a chance to adapt to it? Oh dear me fucked around with this message at 23:19 on Sep 25, 2016 |

Would also love it if somebody else knew what was up. CK2+ mostly uses vanilla tyranny lately (because since Conclave, there wasn't a convenient way to disable Council-defiance tyranny or translate it to the mod's system so we could use the mod's own tyranny system without doubling up - something that we might be able to revisit with some of the new modder toys since then). There are SOME additional things that will give you tyranny in the mod but we will usually tell you. That said I have no idea why someone would get a tyranny modifier on only one person so, um, if you or Dr. Feelgood are sure that's what's happening maybe file a bug report with the relevant people?

I am not sure why Top Hats Monthly is so concerned about their presence. The Tangut are the raddest motherfuckers who ever graced the time period, because the official name for their country was "The Great State of White and High" It sounds like it should be one of those metal albums with the ridiculous cover art.

On the vanilla tyranny front, I feel like a -30 malus for one action is excessive. I revoke a dude's title, fine. I defy the council, sure, to be expected. But don't hit me with tyranny both for asking to revoke and when the fucknut mails his title back to me.

I've had it without demanding peace, revoking titles or imprisoning anybody. So there must be something else still doing it without warning. Could it be any of those irritating pop-ups about people demanding spots on the council or a wife shouting at courtiers? Fairly sure it's not listed as an effect but I can't think of anything else. This is playing without conclave. As a side note is there any reasonably simple way to just disable those events? I get so fed up of just clicking the same option every time to make them go away while I'm trying to do something else.

I've done the new player thing of uniting Ireland playing as the Petty King of Mumu, and snagged Wales (minus one county) as well. -How best do I use my daughters for getting claims (particularly on Scotland)? -The one remaining county of Wales is an earl, vassal of a duke, vassal of the King of England. If I just fabricated a claim on it (game doesn't seem to want to let me de-jure claim it as the King of Wales), would I have to also fend off the duke/king? -Not sure whether it's worth it to move my capital to Dublin for the extra holding slot, tech in my capital is far more advanced. I play with my partner next to me offering input, who is a lot more keen on building (  , given how you can't really see any of it) and character stuff than painting the map, which I get. What are some good start points if we want to play a few fun shorter games of just faffing around? One idea I had was to use Ruler Designer to make a total trainwreck of a king or emperor and watch the wheels fall off. Are there any places that would be stable enough for us to let that run its course for a while without being masters of the game's mechanics? What would also be a good way to set up a very intrigue-y game? Thus far I've tried intrigue once, to off a landed half-brother who was a real thorn in my side, which took a while but did ultimately work. Captain Mediocre posted:As a side note is there any reasonably simple way to just disable those events?

The King of England owns that land, and you're not taking it without a fight. Focus on taking weaker independents until you're strong enough to fight England, perhaps with help from allies that you've secured through marriages. Or you can wait to press your claim until England is in the middle of a revolt or some other war (bonus points if you manage to instigate said war).

Daughters can make good title farms for titles one below your primary title, ie duke titles as a king. Pressing claims outside the kingdom only sets up vassalage if they are your dynasty and it's a title lower. So you can keep an eye out for claimants with an inheritable claim to a title you're interested in, matrilineal marriage them either straight up (unlikely because claims generally count against agreeing to it) or invite them to your court, where they can't refuse marriage. Stab them when they have kids to force the inheritance sooner than later. It can be a bit like winning the lottery finding an inheritable claim that is strong, or a weak one that you can press. But once you do it's ridiculously more repeatable to farm a duke claim compared to the lottery that is forging duke claims. If you have nothing better to do you might even press a claim to white peace to make it inheritable.

One of the buttons on the notification (I totally can't remember which, maybe it looks like an envelope?) will take you to the message rules for that sort of event. You can reduce that all the way down to never bothering you again if you want. Same for any notification. If you disable a message that you later want back, you can pull open the outliner (The panel on the right that tells you about your holdings and armies), get it to show you the message rules, and change it from there.

could something more be done to the education system? I think its lacking, but maybe education wasnt a big deal back in the days? I was thinking maybe a teacher (principle?) minor title that I can give to someone decent who will then assign good tutors to the children? Its boring to try and find decent educators for a court full of kids. I would also like to be able to send my kid to a college or whatever for some cash in return for a good education and maybe a chance of culture/religious conversion. Tie it in with some events and traits. Kid making friends/rivals etc.

I think there's some edge cases about best educator with heritage at the least. In my viking game I set a couple Finnish Suomenusko bastards up as heritage right at birth so I wouldn't forget. I don't know the exact chain of events but I noticed when they were older that they were being educated by their Finnish mother because one of them flipped from Germanic back to Suomenusko.

I ran into what I guess is a bug, where as the game went on my kids started receiving fewer childhood traits. About 4 hours into a game I noticed kids were starting to only have 2 childhood traits, and then after another hour or two they were getting just a single trait. Some of them were my direct children, some were nephews, etc. Has anyone else seen this happen?

It's something annoying to me that keeps coming up, for kid courtiers even if I don't have a lot of kids personally in the game. I hate that you're penalized if you don't pick it yourself.
