Is there a mod to decrease the frequency of AI raiding? Maybe changing the "can't raid you" malus Vikings receive if they get their rear end kicked from 5 to 10 or even 15 years? I want to rule Europe from Brugges, but the Vikings will not leave me alone even though I must have killed hundreds of thousands of them over the last 200 years. e: Also, is there a list of worthwhile mods anywhere? I'm done with Ironman so I'm done with achievements, so I might as well mod out the rear end. Vengarr fucked around with this message at 15:44 on Dec 14, 2016 |

AAAAA! Real Muenster posted:Yeah if you are doing well and your lands are flush with cash they raid the gently caress out of you and it is annoying as hell. When I was playing as a Berber country and raiding the med constantly I would either just pull my raiders back to crush the Viking raiders that sailed to Algeria, or raise my demense levies, but there are just so drat many of them that I have been trying to find ways to invade Scandanavia so I can kill all of them in their homes. I keep wanting to turn on the "everyone can raid" option, because everyone did, but my nightmares are haunted by visions of the post-apocalyptic hellscape that result. A plain of ash and char from sea to sea and the dozen survivors playing pass the parcel with the three coppers and half a mouldy apple that's all that remains of the world's wealth, on and on until the sun burns out.

On the topic of cultural retinues, since the post said to ignore the archer retinue. Is the longbow cultural retinue no longer completely broken? You used to just be able to roll around with a bunch of them and a culturally appropriate commander and just win every battle in the first skirmish phase. Plus you could use them to assault holdings down superfast.

MrBling posted:On the topic of cultural retinues, since the post said to ignore the archer retinue. Nerfed to the ground. Units now have siege strength. In the past, only the number of soldiers mattered to get faster sieges, now each archer is worth only a fraction of heavy infantry. And they were similarly nerfed in combat, each archer has much lower offensive power than before. Even the Massive Longbow Volley can't save this.

Thats too bad. It was hilariously broken. I remember doing a Hæsteinn game where I went Wales and culture shifted so I could be Norse religion with Longbow cultural retinue and also have tanistry succession.

Playing Vikings almost feels like cheating to me. The only slightly-tricky part is reforming Norse Paganism so you can get Primogeniture, and even that is just a matter of "wait till Europe is distracted, then put out a war call for free troops and SKOL"

I think I missed my chance to reform paganism in my Sweden start. France has two of my holy sites and I'm sitting at 30ish percent moral authority. Should I just restart? I hate gavelkind.

I hate gavelkind. As long as you have/can easily get 3 Holy Sites that is enough. You just need to get to 50% moral authority (if I remember correctly) and you should be able to get that somewhat easily by razing a bunch of churches. Sailing down to Rome and sacking it whenever you can will help up your moral authority fast. Plus there are some other counties in that area with churches as the main holding. Plus you have 2 in northern germany as well.

I hate gavelkind. If your start date is 769 Francia has a good chance of going into a lot of civil war/temporarily independent kingdoms. If for some reason they get super solid you're kind of hosed. The other early start date is a bit easier because the karlings are more manageable because they get into a lot of fights and you get your opportunities. Like the man said you can up your moral authority with raiding but having holy sites is no small thing either. The dangerous thing with moral authority is all the other people loving up holy wars and dragging moral authority down.

I hate gavelkind. You should be able to grab all three Scandinavian sites, and then bum around Ireland for a few years burning churches. I just did this with 2 groups of approximately 1000 troops each, and you can shoot your moral authority up pretty fast. Just keep circling them around Ireland sieging whatever gets repaired. Don't forget the inland sieges as well. You can't get raid money from them, but you can still burn them down and get hostages. If the Franks burned Irminsul, you'll also be at a penalty that may be expiring soon.

darthbob88 posted:You can raid as Catholic, provided you're either Norse/Altaic/Magyar/Berber culture or Nomadic/Tribal government. Note that's specifically Norse culture, not Danish/Norwegian/Swedish. Now that you say that, it does sound familiar, I just don't play raiders very often and forgot. Maybe I should convert to Orthodoxy and join the Byzantines. I would certainly feel safer not having to worry about the Byzantines deciding they wanted Crete back.

Tuxedo Catfish posted:Similarly, please give the Zoroastrians and/or appropriate Muslim dynasties the Shamshir-e Zomorrodnegār. What other legendary things are floating around? The Byzantine Emperor could potentially have Longinus or the Holy Lance, though they're only one of a couple people who claimed to have it during the middle ages. Charlemagne obviously has Joyeuse, and there's a couple of other famous swords floating around at this point, such as that of Boleslav III of Poland. Maybe the Iron Crown of Lombardy? Several of the major kingdoms have their own crown jewels or end up with them during the game's time period, so I imagine a lot of them will have generic crown jewels rather than unique ones.

Hey Darkrenown, if you're still looking at bug fixes, it's possible for your Court Physician to think you have the bubonic plague before the Black Death has emerged for the first time. Unless it's not a bug and he's the guy who started it

It's not exactly a bug, the Plague or similar had ravaged Europe before so educated people would know of it and could fear its return as it eventually does. Maybe from a player PoV you know he's wrong because the outbreak hasn't started yet though...but when the map is covered in Measles and he thinks you have the Flu you can also guess he's a bit off.

The name apparently refers to how it was made and not the drink El Cid preferred to buttchug. Also just thought of all the Greek and Roman stuff, like the Altar of Victory.
