Volkerball posted:Playing as a count in Scandinavia isn't that difficult. The only way you are screwed is if you roll a character with a really low martial. So long as it's decent, you park your marshal on your county to raise levies, take the become king ambition, and then you have a subjugation CB on everyone in your entire de jure kingdom. Since you will be a count, when you subjugate another count, you gain control of their county rather than vassalizing it, so you can become a force pretty quickly. And yeah, viking merchant republics are OP as hell, especially if you culture convert to Hungarian or Altaic to gain access to tribal invasion. I think having a good Steward is more important than Martial as a Scandanavian count. Everybody sets their steward on Build Legend, and if it fires for your neighbor before it fires for you, they are going to be able to field a much larger army than you are capable of defending against and it's game over. Once you can start raiding you can build your prestige up and have access to the raise tribal army decision, so it's no longer as much of a threat, but those first 25 years or so before you can raid are almost a complete toss-up whether you will survive or not. As a side note, I would really like to see died from severe stress go away. It would make way more sense if a stressed character was more likely to die clutching at their chest or something.

Technically yes, as the hidden fertility trait can have a base value below the threshold that you won't ever get offspring, but it's also plausible the fertility is just low. If you're that worried pick up seduction and have some bastards.

My liege didn't call it, I was fighting him to take over the ducal title. It was the King that called for Realm Peace. What does he care? I guess I was killing soldiers that could be used in foreign wars? Bah.

Because AI kings don't like burgeoning superdukes-in-the-making any more than player kings do. Alternatively your liege might have obtained and called in a favor to get Realm Peace before losing his poo poo to you. Darth Windu posted:Can you even get a favor with your leiges' liege? Sure, you can outright buy a favor from anyone if they're amenable to it and you have the cash. Favors from kings are expensive as hell though.

Who nominated the successor of a Prince-Bishopric? Less than a year left until realm peace goes away (I think). I've managed to secure a tentative heir, my first wife finally produced a daughter just before dying of unrelated sickness. My second wife is pregnant barely a year into the marriage, so hopefully this one'll be a son. Meanwhile I suffered horrible sickness myself and recruited a one eyed hunchback with 26 learning. He cured me, but only at the cost of my hand. I'd flirted with it before on one of my Oppland games, but playing on Ironman is much more fun, I gotta admit. If this wasn't ironman I might've weakly reloaded after that whole realm peace thing, but honestly its neater to just roll with the punch. [edit] I dont' get it, the king called for Realm Peace but during that a civil war over elective monarchy kept going, not surprising I guess? But after it ended and the King lost, another civil war over elective monarchy broke out again. What did the king do? Just immediately change the succession law back? Also I guess this kind of war isn't effected by realm peace? [edit] Curses another daughter! Galaga Galaxian fucked around with this message at 02:49 on Nov 22, 2016 |

Also I guess this kind of war isn't effected by realm peace? Wars against the liege won't be stopped by Realm Peace, because they aren't actually part of the realm during the war - they're part of their own separate temporary rebellion kingdom. Plus it wouldn't really make a lot of sense if the king could stop people revolting against him by saying "no you guys, stop it, I'm serious". Also if he lost the war then he couldn't have changed the law back (it counts as your "once per lifetime" succession law change). So he probably white peaced out and then another faction just formed up right away. Either that or he has more than one kingdom title, and so the second revolt is against his other title.

   Something tells me taking this fatass dutchy was the easy part, the hard part will be holding it. Especially since my former Liege still controls 3 counties. Any advice for dealing with him? He's my prisoner, I could just throw him in the oubliette, which'd leave it all to his 9 y/o brother who has cancer. The only concern however is the person in line of succession after that is the "King Tassilo the Impaler" of Bavaria next door. I'd really rather not give away 3 counties to a mostly hostile neighbor.  [edit] Just noticed I can form my own Kingdom If... I amass about 700-800 gold* (to create 2 ducal titles and the king title), gain another 500 prestige, and win Independence from Francia (wait for an implosion I guess?) * And I still owe 350 to the Jewery for mercenaries in the original claimaint war.

So, somewhat predictably, some of my counts made a council powerplay. There was a war, I crushed them thanks to mercenaries. Now I've got 4 rebel counts in my dungeon. Three of them have two titles each, the fourth just one. Not sure what I should do with them.I guess I could strip a title from each one and give them to loyal flunkies. Or I guess I could just leave them in the dungeons where they can't do much to me. I dunno. Not used to this bold new world of Conclave driven rebellious vassals. Any Advice? I want to make this worth it, that war cost me over 200 gold, over three year's income. Probably gonna strip the county from the guy with only one, but as tempting as it is to strip one each from the other three, that'll still leave them with one each and royally pissed off at me.

You can revoke their title and leave them in jail forever. Their heir won't hate you as much, and it lets you hand the land out to someone you like. Or if they have lots of money, revoke a title and then let them ransom themselves. They'll be much weaker after losing half their land, and you'll have extra cash to replenish your reserves.

Ah, I thought revocation freed them. I still feel kinda doomed. My character still has no male heirs, just three daughters, the youngest of which is probably a secret bastard (though 25 gold worth of Private Investigators turned up nothing). I think its time to switch back to seduction and invite a few young ladies to court.

You can also release them for a general opinion boost if your ruler is young enough to make it worth it. Release one or two of them and you should have no more faction fuckery for the rest of his life.

Wait, is that +6 to all my vassals? Right now I'm leaning towards stripping their better county from each of them and then either throwing them in the oubliette to die, leaving them in the dungeon or house arrest where they can't faction/plot against me, or ransoming each of them for 70 gold to refill my coffers (still have the vague hopes of forming a kingdom when Francia disintegrates). However if its +6 to all my vassals (For how long?) that might change things. I'm worried if I don't reduce their individual power though, they'll just start this council power faction stuff again. Then again they'd probably do it anyways, huh? Also my dude is early 40s, so I dunno about how long he's got left.

In that case, these guys are getting a county stripped and paying 70 gold each for release. Also in two of the three counties I own I also directly own an additional Barony/castle. Should I award these to some dudes to free up demense space to retain two of the counties I'm about to strip? Barons are basically powerless compared to vassal counts. Though maybe I should keep the extra castle in my capital county.

I've only raised a few kids under the new system but so far it seems much duller and less event filled than the old system. I admit the old one could be pretty heavily gamed.

If the old system could be heavily gamed that might actually make it less of a upgrade; I like it because I hate RNG and enjoy control and convenience. The new system makes it easy to get a steady succession of heirs with amazing martial and good-enough stewardship (or whatever, but that's the combination I needed most of the time for my Zoroastrian game) without having to fiddle around finding good teachers which was almost always possible but took a lot of time and effort.

I'm inclined to agree that the new education system is more reliable, as well as also much more dull, but there are two things I hate about it. One is that I'd rather the second stage were done for me, because 19 times out of 20 I'm going to pick the best thing for the child's traits - but at least there is information on screen to help with doing that. The other is constantly having to switch to the wiki to look up educator intervention traits, which as far as I know aren't explained anywhere in game.
