The Cheshire Cat posted:I kind of wish they'd go back and take another crack at the childhood focuses just to balance them out a bit more (especially the fact that indolent/haughty are purely negative for education - I think having negative childhood traits is fine, but having Pride/Etiquette lead to them directly makes those choices a lot less desirable), but I imagine it's not a priority. Educator intervention traits help a bit: haughty can lead to ambitious and indolent to gregarious, which is nice. Only a 25% chance though, or 50% if you're educating yourself.

How do I convert my tribal government into a feudal one? I have Absolute Tribal Organization. EDIT: Nevermind, it's because I don't have a stone hillfort in the capital. snoremac fucked around with this message at 11:01 on Nov 27, 2016 |

snoremac posted:Picking childhood and education focuses in a large family is the worst thing. Every five seconds. I still prefer it to the old system if we're only talking about how annoying it is though. At least now when you die and you've got enough male courtiers for 100+ trade posts, you don't get a "48 children need a guardian" notification. Various Meat Products posted:Thrift has the best general purpose outcomes, Duty has a 50/50 chance to become Diligent which benefits all educations, and Struggle is the obvious choice for non-inheriting brothers and nephews who I can breed into commanders. Those are the only ones I ever pick, unless I'm trying to convert cultures/religions. I pick pride when the kid is born and when they are 6 since it generally will give the kid brooding, which adds a boost to thrift. Sometimes it comes with haughty, which is bad with thrift, but I stopped caring about micromanaging. I put every kid on that same pride-thrift pipeline, and I'm still pumping out characters with high martial and stewardship.

Has anyone had any success figuring out how to remove the nomad agitation modifier from a province? I've got two tribal counties that are seemingly exactly the same with only two differences. They both have a training grounds and a hospital as the only buildings built. Neither has a temple or any building other than the tribal holding. They are both under the control of vassal tribal counts. And they both still have Khazar culture. The only differences are that the one that doesn't have the nomad agitation modifier has tengri religion (I'm zunist), and it has 1 in improved keeps tech. The one that does has Sunni religion, and has 0 in all techs. When I console kill my character, I keep one and the other returns to nomads, and I have no idea why. Maybe the one county just never got the nomad agitation modifier to begin with? But why? I don't understand what I'm supposed to do. It says I'm supposed to build a city or a castle, but the nomadic counties don't have the tech to build level 4 stone hillforts or merchant cities, and I can only build a temple in a free slot. And why do I have one tribal county that is an exception to that rule for no reason if that is what I'm supposed to do?

Has anyone figured out how to balkanize Lombardy from the Charlemagne start? Love playing as Venice, but the only way for me to expand is to save up for the largest mercenary force and then wait until they go to war with someone else, and all sowing dissent seems to do is get rid of chancellors for me.

Deceitful Penguin posted:Huh. I know that if you convert either religion or culture the nomad agitation is removed. Does the vassal have the same culture as the province maybe? Nah, he's Ethiopian and reformed Zunist just like all my other tribal vassals up in nomad land. In fact, that same vassal has two counties to his name. Two of the three in a de jure duchy iirc. But when I console kill my character, that vassal actually loses one county while keeping the one that doesn't have nomad agitation. I did I test where I changed the religion of the province, but I still lost it on succession. Maybe culture conversion would work, but that seems unreliable as a tactic. Super frustrating. I didn't realize they changed things in Conclave. Before you were just allowed to hold a nomadic county indefinitely, as it didn't count on your demense limit since there was no holding in it. You could just build holdings at your leisure. I hadn't gameplanned around this, and now my game might be hosed after all this work.  Family trade zone map. I'm at 72 of my planned 160-some posts. That silver county up in the far north and westward are all in nomad territory, and I need to be able to hold control of all of them to build trade posts in them before I purge off all my family members to minimize my family dues.

I enjoy Concalve, the whole council thing adds a lot of flavor. Instead of just picking the best dude you sometimes have to pick the politically important one. Reapers Due is kind of neat with the whole physician thing, about all it does is highlight how loving horrible it was to live in those times. Got the flu? Great! Your "physician" knocks you out and now you've got the "Peg Leg" trait. Though it doesn't change how I've played that much. Again, some more spice to the game. No idea on Horse Lords.

So I've started a game as Adelaide, Countess of Vermandois to see if I could do a Carolingian reboot. All traveled smoothly for the first twenty years, I got my heirs back in line for inheritance, cancer took care of the husband and I married my brother off into the Duchy of Tuscany for the glory of the house. Then the Capetian heir converted to Islam and inherited a few years later. Now he is the French Sunni King and has four Queens including my daughter. Curious to know what people would do here - without a kingdom claim I can't really challenge him, and I assume he is going to get holy warred or even crusaded into the ground. He has converted a few of his court (including my son but he is a disinherited de Vermandois so he can do what he wants) and the county of Paris just switched to Islam.

They should be able to, but bear in mind that it's very hard to arrange marriages for female muslim rulers since even if YOUR laws allow for matri marriages, most other realms' laws won't. So either arrange a marriage before converting, or get ready to only marry people from your own court.

Started another new game, this time as Count of Lancaster, the one start I've ever managed to get all the way through to 1453 (back in Vanilla CK2 which was JESUS gently caress 4 YEARS AGO?!?), albeit that one was as a Duke. That time, I managed to manoeuvre myself at the 1066 start to support my liege to destroy both Harald and William AND make sure my liege stayed weak enough that I could subsequently win a fight for the crown. This time, I waited for my liege to get involved in a couple of scraps over who wore the biggest crown and then pressed for Independence. 52 years in, my starting dude is still not dead, having outlived all 5 of his sons. My current heir is a 24 Diplomacy grandson who's almost certain to drop dead any day now. I've got a good feeling about this run.

What can I do about Vassals that hate me when I am too weak to plot to kill them? I have a Mayor who has the rival trait and I can't change any laws because I have to have all of Vassals loving me. He is a total dick and constantly sends me rude messages, refuses to go to my feasts and keeps trying to have me overthrown. He spiked my drink at a party and laughed at me when I collapsed and now is a real thorn in my side. I have been trying to plot to kill him for something like 20 years but the only people on board are my son and a baby for some reason. Can I just revoke his title and chuck him in prison - he is a powerful vassal is that something to be worried about? I only have two provinces and I am worried I might get crushed by peasants if I act too tyrannical.

Switch to intrigue focus, spy on him until you can expose him for some crime against you, imprison him, Oubliette until dead (or bite the tyranny penalty and execute if he's young and healthy). Alternatively, if you're a badass, switch to War focus and challenge him to a duel (since you're rivals) and hope you get lucky.

I only have two provinces and I am worried I might get crushed by peasants if I act too tyrannical. If you attempt to revoke his title and he refuses he will declare war on you. If you select "Revoke Title" in the diplomacy options there will be a "Yes" below the Send button if he will relinquish it peacefully, a "No" if he won't. Peasants don't care how you treat vassals - it's other vassals' opinions you need to worry about. If you revoke a title without a legitimate reason (eg. the vassal has fabricated one of your claims or plotted to murder you or someone close to you) you'll get a -15 opinion penalty from all other vassals. Not the end of the world, but not something you want to do often. If this vassal is more powerful than you and hates you he's unlikely to let you revoke peacefully. Galaga's suggestions are worth trying, just remember that spying on someone sometimes leads nowhere because there's simply nothing juicy to dig up about them. snoremac fucked around with this message at 05:48 on Nov 28, 2016 |

If a mayor qualifies as a powerful vassal in your realm, you're probably too small to need to worry about the tyranny penalty. Just revoke his city and replace him with someone who likes you, then assign some honorary titles to your other vassals to smooth things over. edit: Baron-level vassals are not a threat to you. If you're feeling spicy, revoke all of their titles, kick everyone out of your court, then invite new courtiers. None of the new guys will know about what you did, and you can hand-pick new vassals who will be grateful to you. Various Meat Products fucked around with this message at 06:52 on Nov 28, 2016 |

So in my after the end game the Confederacy is getting fuckin huge and they basically got everything from the Mississippi to Florida to the Pentagon and we now share a border. They've always kinda been a pain in my rear end, but I'm still pretty new to this game. What are my options for knocking them down a peg? How do you tackle a big rear end empire like that? All I have is Gotham and some surrounding counties.

I tried playing as Charlemagne since I picked up the DLC and...drat. It's impossible for me to keep track of that many vassals, especially when they dump all those names on me from the start. Is there a round-up screen that shows all your vassals and their relative strength? The closest I've seen is when they're in a plot and you can see their percentage of levies compared to you.
