Almost reformed the Germanic faith last night but gently caress some small fries somewhere who kept losing prepared invasions (to the tune of -15% MA). I sacked Rome but didn't get the Pope (that slippery bastard) so now I guess my plan is to raid every single coastal church I can between Denmark and Gibraltar. It might be easier at this point just to take on the HRE to get the last two Holy Sites.

It would be lame if the AI had perfect reckoning but its so bad at deciding when to do holy wars. Its like you're a duke and they border a kingdom/a dozen same faith dukes, we all know how its going to end. The churn is nice and neat but it turns into like half or more of the authority modifiers for niche religions.

Is there any that more complicated to child raising I'm missing or is it basically assign a focus for a set stat then hope they get good pre traits for their next education?

Childhood traits can usually develop into one useful or one negative trait. But a good educator can interfere and give the child the choice of a third trait, which is usually the best outcome. But you would have to look it up on the wiki which educator trait matches which childhood trait.

I think you can still assign a tutor manually like the old system? I don't know, after you go on that first seducing spree and there's 5 million people in your dynasty assigning a focus is already too much. There should be a Master of the Bastards honorary title whose only job is to assign focuses to children automatically.

Norman Portraits are also a thing, and they look a bit odd. Might be work in progress. e: It's Norman/English/German Portraits (they all share the set). BravestOfTheLamps fucked around with this message at 21:52 on Dec 19, 2016 |

It is especially painful for republics where you want lots of family in your court. I'd like to be able to say "Let them learn stewardship!" and "Don't let that man anywhere near my children", and never have to worry again.

Can you control or influence who the electors vote for in Elective Gavelkind? I'd really prefer it if my slightly-younger Genius son took the throne over his older brother, who managed to inherit none of his parents' Genius, Attractive, or Strong traits.

So on my current game I have an interesting problem. The Pope controls two titles: The Papacy and the duchy level title Rome is in. Nothing else. The Fraticelli Pope resides in Rome and is independent. The King of Lombardy (strong, but losing some ground to the Byzantines) is Fraticelli. I have declared an antipope in the catholic faith, but I cannot war with the Pope to make my pope the head honcho. It also looks like I'm not able to declare on the Fraticelli Pope? Is there a solution to getting my vassal to be recognized?

There will never be a will system because the entire point of Gavelkind is that it's supposed to hurt and your first major goal is supposed to be to get the hell out of Gavelkind ASAP.

Regular Gavelkind isn't that bad, it's only the Elective one that sucks so much. With the regular one, so long as you only have a single top level title you'll be fine. Elective will create new top level titles purely to ensure your realm shatters on death.

Wow, holy orders are a magnitude of bullshit. Some little count in Wales who's flat broke, with 400 troops and 500 piety to his name gets to pull out 10,000 defenders out of his rear end. Can't wait him out, because it's only costing him 2 gold a month.

Managed to raid enough churches and got lucky on an old prepared invasion loss dropping off and I managed to reform the faith in the year 1000. Then my ruler promptly died and my son took over. He managed to die of an illness two years later. My original 10 demesne when I reformed is now down to two counties thanks to Gavelkind. Grandson almost died too (caught slow fever) but he survived and now I'm working on taking over Wales.

AAAAA! Real Muenster posted:Yeah the Holy Orders, especially the Christian ones, cause me to quit a fair number of my games because they are such bull poo poo. It's not a holy order, but defensive pagans now can raise troops similar to raising a tribal army, for some pitiful piety cost. I was real shocked when I tried to capture some pissant county, filled with nothing but polar bears and snowmen, and found they suddenly could field more heavy infantry than I had total troops in my personal levy.

Crow Jane posted:My immortal character, by the end, was a blind, one-handed, one-legged, insane werewolf eunuch with half a face. I got really sick of playing him after a while and actively tried to get him killed, but dude just kept on truckin'. I'm playing my first full game in earnest since shelving this over a year ago and my Sultan Daryuš the Scholar is now 166 years old, has a prosthetic leg, one hand, no balls, no face, one eye, and in spite of it all he just became a mujahid at age 150. He had over 20 children before losing his nads and I married all of them off, so I have to dig deep into the family tree to see if anyone will be worthy to succeed him, and it's hard to make sure each generation of his heirs are multiplying and not getting wiped out by disease. He isn't making any more of them after all. Also a 950-year old Breton named Arthur hunted me down and tried to Highlander me, but I argued him to death with my 29 learning skill. There can be only one, bitch!

I didn't want that much challenge. 769 Magyar is great because it only takes a few years before you are strong enough to subjugate your next door neighbor Byzantines, which means you can do it early enough to get the Varangians vassalized. The hard part is dropping the Magyar title later so you can reform the Roman Empire. Due to a bug, it's basically impossible to successfully revolt against your liege for the title. Step one for any nomad is to recruit as many of the cheap horses as you can before you unpause. You need to be just strong enough that you aren't priority 1 on the target list for your neighbors.

Thank you. This was the worst person I've ever played, I posted about him before:  Former Emperor. Blinded, disfigured, kinslayer, cannibal, lunatic, owner of the Necronomicon. Named one of his sons "Snack" (he ran away when his time came). Ate most every Duke in the Empire (each one revolted and was replaced at least twice) before being finally deposed. Also ate Joan of Arc. Thankfully died in the middle of an immortality quest. I don't know why he was called "Duchess".

Until a recent patch, all marriages between sufficiently highly-ranked characters automatically created an alliance and there were no alliances without marriage, so the two mechanics were intrinsically bound together.

Used to mostly show up for marriages but shows up more and more as the AI gets savvier in ways that are hard to communicate.
