They're automatically flagged as raiders, and the button's disabled because they can't have the flag removed. Move them onto some enemy territory and they'll raid just like normal.

The troops you get from that are automatically classified as raiders, so you don't need to toggle the option like you would normally. If you move them into an appropriate county they should start raiding. As for the wife thing, try using the character finder instead of just the little ring icon. That will include a lot more women than would normally be listed as potential wives.

Does anyone know if a map has ever been done for CK2 that worked on a kind of cylindrical world map, like Civ2 style, representing an entire globe? If not, maybe support for that added in would be something that could be added to CK2, the ability to flag a map as connecting on the edges?

Luckily he'd had five kids already (Muslim) including an Attractive Strong son. Then the Black Death came in and the Attractive Strong son caught it. And survived.

Ok wtf. I have tried to start 4 games now with Ingria, a small county in Finland. Every time the ruler died within the first 3 years. Two times of rabies, one of dysentery and one of the flu. Last time had actually produced an heir, but then one of the former counts of a county I had taken over decided to become an adventurer and take his title back. With 3 times my troops of course. I think I give up on CKII, too hardcore for me now.

I'm playing as Amalfi and have taken over both counties in Crete, but to usurp the duchy while staying within the Byzantine Empire I need a claim on it. Can I still fabricate a claim on the duchy with a highly-skilled chancellor if I own the county he's fabricating in?

I think you have to be in a county owned by the dude who currently has the title to fabricate a claim on it.

I don't know if anyone has done that but I think it is theoretically possible - as far as I understand it province definitions in CK2 and other Clauswitz games have a list of connections to other provinces but they don't actually have to be physically adjacent on the map - it's just a big collection of nodes and distances and the pathfinding will figure it out. I don't know if you'd be able to scroll around the map the way you do in the Civ games or HoI/EU, but travel around the map edges should be possible.

I've been getting a lot more of rulers that go infirm but then slip out of it and become a lunatic afterwards, though this was before they tweaked the lunatic frequency. It's definitely hosed with my plans because I start being a tyrant as soon as I'm about to die, then it reverses and I end up playing myself like a chump.

This was very early, around The Old Gods, but people started noticing that West Africans kept on taking over Poland or whatever. Turned out somewhere along the way something got hosed with that and there was a portal to the Baltic in Mali because the province numbers got mixed up or something. evilmiera posted:Am I the last person to realize CK2 is The Sims in a global neighborhood with way more actions and consequences? My first introduction to Paradox games was a CK1 LP here that described it as The Sims meets Medieval strategy. That was a cool LP, it was one where the LPer was jumping around after completing goals, shame it died. I guess the Old Men Telling Stories LP is kinda a spiritual successor.

Got a situation here. I'm the king of Castille and own most of the Iberian peninsula, and a while back the HRE annoyingly nabbed the kingdom of Aragon before I could stop them. I might have an opportunity to gain Aragon through inheritance, and wanted to check on if that's possible and how to best go about it. Here's me and my realm  The king of Aragon is this kid Deiter. No kids of his own yet so his heir is some other dude named Heinrich. So if I managed to off Deiter quick enough, Heinrich would inherit Aragon.  Heinrich is married matrilinearly to my half-sister Elvira. She's currently my elected heir but I could change that if needed.  They have a son, Fernando, who's in my dynasty.  Is there any way I can manipulate this situation to add Aragon to my realm? Is there a way for Fernando to inherit both Aragon and Castille?

Pretty sure that if Deiter dies and Heinrich inherits Aragon, then Fernando will become the heir to Aragon. Since Castille is elective and Fernando is of your dynasty, you should be able to nominate him as your heir. If not, once Elvira gets elected SHE should be able to nominate Fernando. Then if she dies before him, he'll inherit Castille.

Aragon first, he stays a vassal. Castille first, he's independent. Either way, a unified Spain should easily be able to lead an independence revolt.

The idea was for a society on Mars that has regressed greatly over several hundred years after the destruction of life on Earth. But I'm not sure if it would make much sense to have a Mars map where you can't cross some arbitrary line.

Can't find a better natural barrier than that. Plus it's a really interesting terrain feature, and it's been pretty well mapped over the years.

But I'm not sure if it would make much sense to have a Mars map where you can't cross some arbitrary line. This is true but there is a way around it. You can apply a movement modifier to each end province so movement between them is much faster than normal. We did that for Geheimnisnacht with the Skaven Under-Empire, since it's a map inset it would take years to just walk from it to the corresponding surface province on the other side of the map, but adding speed modifiers lets you walk that distance in days/weeks/months.

Consumption absolutely destroyed my family because I was too busy warring for independence from the Byzantine Empire to pay attention and close the gates. By the time I won independence and looked around, I realized that the 'living members' counter had mislead me into thinking I was safe. I had fourteen family members, but only four males: the current Doge in his fifties, a twelve-year-old, an infant bastard, and a monk.  Luckily the Doge stuck around long enough for the kid to reach adulthood (and become an indulgent wastrel), and a thousand loving gold later he had become the heir. Now I just have to basically reboot the dynasty with a horde of legitimized bastards. If anyone coughs on this entire loving continent I'm locking down everything. E: oh god, the kid is chaste  E2: I just chose 'seek an ally among her friends' while seducing one of the eligible bachelorettes in my court and the friend turned out to be his wife

Parallax Scroll posted:How does that work? Is that a game mechanic when you're an emperor? If you control the entirety of a De Jure Kingdom, but switch it it Agnatic-Cognatic Elective, you control the entireity of the elective process because only Counts and Dukes within the Kingdom get a vote. Essentially, as long as you stay a Kingdom, you can select your own heir. When you switch to an Empire though, all the Dukes and Kings in your De Jure Empire get a vote, which makes this impossible unless you don't make Dukes and instead have a tonne of megacounts. This means you can't create the other Kingdoms you take over as well, so you only have the one Kingdom title. So basically, if you get a small Kingdom you can completely control (or only allow one other voter in, like a megacount) you control the selection of your heir at a small opinion malus to your vassals. It's a pretty gamey mechanic you can abuse if you want to go tall. It's also why I never form the Empire of Brittania (as an example). There are loads of small kingdoms like this, off the top of my head...Wales, Ireland, Scotland, Frisia, Brittany, Galicia, Leon, Castille, Navarre, Taurica, Afghanistan, Gujarat etc. A Tartan Tory fucked around with this message at 14:04 on Sep 28, 2016 |

OK, most of my kingdoms worked out that way on accident since I haven't created every duchy. In reality I think there's only 2 elections where I don't just get an automatic pick.

Anyway thanks to everyone who chimed in about possibly inheriting Aragon. I may not end up going that route if Fernando ends up having terrible traits or other opportunities arise, but I'd like to at least set that plan in motion while I can. I'll try to avoid getting vassalized by the HRE, but being a giant HRE vassal's not so bad.
