Darkrenown posted:Doomdark made a DD this week: Suggestion: Make the "raise all levies" buttons more prominent. I watch first-time LPs of CK2 occasionally and a lot of folks get rolled in their first war because they see the list of vassal levies and assume those are the buttons they should press, so they just end up with their mayor and bishop levies. Also, if the hint system is on, clicking on notifications along the top that lead to multipurpose screens (marriage, ambition, etc. which all lead to your character panel) should point big gold arrows at the relevant button after the panel opens.

Man, it's way harder to forge claims now that I have Conclave. My lovely vassals are always demanding to be on my council so I end up with a councilor that has like a 5% chance of getting a claim. And that's with a semi-decent diplomacy of around 11 or so. I guess I could just put someone in who is actually good at the job but I'm not sure how sustainable of an idea that is.

Often times, it's better to keep your most powerful vassals in jail, or give your most powerful titles to your heir. Secondly, playing with absolute power is great, because you get to have a huge demesne. It only really makes sense to start empowering the council when you grow beyond two king titles

If they don't have the skills to be on the council they don't have the skills to be an important ruler so a civil war would probably be doing the realm a favor.

Does Reaper's Due make civil wars more likely? I slapped the expansion onto a game in progress and pretty soon England, the HRE, and Jerusalem all had large parts of their realms broken off into rebel territory. In other news, the Pope just declared a crusade to take Anatolia from the Seljuk Turks - just as the Mongols are starting to push into Anatolia from the east. Doesn't seem like the smartest time to try and grab it. Also the Turks and Mongols are both Sunni for what that's worth.

I've always wondered how you can really keep a realm going by being king over 5 dukes, all of whom are languishing in your jail, but I guess the peasants don't mind

Not specifically, but with the overall higher rate of mortality it's probably just the net effect of a lot of short reign penalties/discontent councils post-succession.

Yeah the thing about Feudalism is it's less a management system and more a large scale protection racket. The dukes own the land but they don't really run the land. That's all done by various other people all over the social strata. The liege lords mostly just sit back and collect taxes, when they aren't waging ill-conceived wars over some bullshit your average peasant doesn't care about nor understand.

This is why the only correct course of action is to become emperor, get Imperial Administration, and break the nobility's power (yours aside) as thoroughly as possible as you assign the higher-level titles to people actually qualified to run things, instead of whatever dick happens to inherit. Note that this being better assumes the person at the top (i.e. you) isn't completely awful too, but, you know.

I just discovered that my daughter's (who is my heir) first-born son got matrilineally married to some baron's daughter. The wife is of my dynasty so I guess it could be worse, but this is kind of annoying. I forgot that he wasn't in my court due to his father becoming a bishop and moving to his court instead. Luckily, my plot to kill him is going very well, so hopefully I won't have to worry about this much longer.

That doesn't work though because you can't have county level vice-royalties so you always have to deal with some little gobshite in a castle

Is there any intended scenario where a character cannot be assigned titles higher than baronies? I wanted to give a county that I had specially prepared for him to my immortal son (Don't ask!), and I can actually select 'County of Lübeck', but it will still only hand out the subordinate baronies. After I do this once, the county option doesn't show up again, and all that he qualifies for in the menu are various free baronies across the realm. Does this have to do with his immortality? He's also my court physician, if that matters at all...

Celibate, but I experimented with removing that trait through the magic of save file editing before I posted my problem. Didn't work either. I mean, I could probably just give out the desired titles via console, but that's not very ceremonial! Also, I'd like to understand this game that I've put hundreds of hours of my life into. Never had anything like this happen before.

Then you give the castle to someone less awful. Heck, I've seen counts just give up their titles without rebelling at times, because they're so puny they know they'll be crushed. They can be nuisances, but they're nuisances you can deal with.

Haha, I picked Historical mongol invasion for my ironman game because I thought it would be easier, but I think they buffed the poo poo out of Ghengis Khan. I spent two centuries chasing the Turks out of Persia , and he wrecked my whole empire in less than two years, and that's with my entire levy + retinues and mercenaries blocking off the mountains around Azerbaijan.

Sounds about right. Horse Archers are hilariously strong versus just about everything, even fully upgraded pikes. I think they even buffed the Aztecs, because they managed to conquer Western Europe and still had 100,000 dudes by the end of a game I played in India recently.

I have noticed that if my court somehow fills up with kids that are not of my dynasty I never get a popup that they need to set their education focus. Sometimes happen if I inherit a title from a vassal and his wife and daughters move to my court. I only get a message that I have failed them when they come of age. I know they do not matter as they are not my dynasty (wow ckII is bad for morals) but it still irks me. Is it intended?

I've completely forgotten how to raise troops from an individual county/holding. I can right-click a holding and a "raise levy" button appears, but it's always grayed out. I have to raise everything from the military tab and then dismiss the ones I don't want. How are you supposed to do it again?

If you're still taking obscure UI suggestions from scrubs too lazy to register Paradox accounts, a hotkeyed magnifier on cursor is the only real obstacle to me playing CK2 on a TV. And honestly would make things slightly less squintier on desktop. Interestingly Windows magnifier works in borderless full screen but it would take some getting used to without something native that could be hotkeyed to either toggle or show magnification while held.
