Chewbot posted:what's the goal of this game? I'm not super excited about taking over every territory, so is it otherwise kind of a "putz around until you get bored" kind of thing?

Did lords really just go around non-stop fabricating claims on land and raising armies on a whim? Yes, when not stopped by bigger lords. I mean, why wouldn't they? What else did they have to do?

Pretty much all the mechanics in it are long obsolete, but this, this is what you can do with CK2. (P.S. If you think things like fabricating claims are unrealistic for the time period, boy howdy are you in for a surprise when you see the stuff that's been added to the game by the last year or two's worth of patches and DLCs)

Finding claims and going to war is why (apocryphally depending who you ask) the pope decided if all these idiot lords want to fight poo poo they might as well kill the muslims congregating around the Holy Land.

Considering the level of intermarriage with medieval nobles during the time vanilla CK2 happens, it would be strange if you couldn't find at least some smidgen of a claim for any one speck or another. especially if you go far enough, where folks were claiming ancestry with all kinds of semi-mythical figures EDIT: Wait whoaaah, are custom dynasties you add to the game with the customization DLC added to the list?

Saw a weird thing in my current game that I'm not sure how it happened. I'm Crete from the 867 start and I noticed at one point while raiding around that Amalfi became a Greek Orthodox nomads. They didn't last very long, they got invaded soon after, but I'm still not sure how it happened in the first place.

Foolish me, I read onwards from that post.quote:I don't quite agree with either of these posts. To begin, I don't feel like racism really needs to be in the mod, as by the time of After the End it's pretty much irrelevant (not to mention that it would probably be hard to mod in). However, I don't believe that only positive stereotypes should be included; sure, most of them should, and I don't just want a grimdark game with everything bad in it, but I would like some relatively minor negative stereotypes to be implemented. For example, incest. [...]

Everyone else gets something, even the Occultists, even if it's bad (British invasion) or minor (the differing cults), Revelationists are like an inferior Baltic pagan at this point, with the only good point being that they're probably the easiest to reform. Or just give them the "piety to defenders" poo poo that vanilla defensive pagans get I suppose, that would work. Making them into defensive pagans would be the other easy solution?

In this context that means adding incest to promote stereotypes of modern groups, ie, incest for Southerners and Appalachians because they're so gosh darn backwards and inbred.

Write a poem about how they strode ahead of their armies and demanded a duel on the hill in the center of the field and how they fought for three days straight before they both collapsed out of exhaustion against each other and suffered simultaneous heart attacks and the troops saw it as an example of brotherhood and returned home to love their families once again.

The upside is that my new King is so young that I might plausibly fabricate enough claims and gather 8000 prestige to create a custom empire out of Burgundy (which de jure includes Franconia), Frisia, and Bohemia. Bordergoria.

I haven't looked at the code base in more than a year, but last time I checked it was all commented out. It's a decision+events to send your kids (or yourself if young enough) to college to pick up some stat boosts. So unless it's been uncommented it will never fire.

Probably the difference between your opinion of them and their opinion of you. Is this AtE or CK2? I don't believe I've heard of prisoner recruitment.

It's a relatively new feature - I think added in the Reaper's Due patch or maybe even the first post-release patch after it. It basically invites them to your court, only a lot of the usual restrictions don't apply (but they have to like you a certain amount to accept, which is hard when they hate you for being imprisoned).
