Its a relatively small change but could we get some order to how horribly you execute someone. Like sometimes its expedient to kill someone and you behead them, fine but other times its some horrifying message about burying them alive in a wall or what have you and it just seems way out of proportion to how I felt about that collection of entries on a spreadsheet I know. So maybe gate the more horror intense deaths behind a bigger piety loss wall and maybe give some prestige back or something.
The executions are based on a widely branching dice roll influenced by your culture, religion, and traits so have no fear, you are always executing someone exactly as horrible as you should be.

My devil-worshipping dude is really scary looking. :ohdear:



He just kidnapped a 10-year-old dwarf and boiled him to death for Satan.

The Contarini family was also voted out of office in the last election, and the new Doge appointed my guy here as his spymaster due to his high intrigue. Bad idea on his part! He dead now.

Is there a reliable way to steal something out of someone else's treasury? Some rear end in a top hat in tribal Ireland somehow got Jesus's shirt from the Pope, and I kind of want it. Like, I'm thinking about putting my plans in central Europe on the back-burner to create Ireland, vassalize him, and mow through his line of succession until I inherit all his stuff, but I don't know if that last part works like that.

I know that different cultures have different executions, I don't know the exact breakdown for every culture but it seems like most of them have a range from relatively normal execution to brutal horror show intended to terrify. It seems like a relatively minor effort to give us standard state execution/Saw 10

And it's funny because she hates him and tries joining any plot she can against him, even if it's just taking away a trade post.

She won't give me any kids either. Does a negative opinion affect fertility? It's been ages since I've played this game.

Has anyone else noticed some... irregularities with the event that you get if you have the app game? The one where you fall in love with someone else at your wedding? Because it does not work great for the gay. In fact, I've had it fire for two gay rulers, and it paired each one with a lesbian instead of, say, a fellow gay man.

Even high stat guys can be frauds, it's a hidden tag on their character. Only 1/10 guys are legit.

All right, it's looking like my original plan is working. I got lucky, and someone else unseated the guy with the artifact, so I invited him to my court and landed him. I murdered him and his benighted heirs until I got one I could marry, and it's now sitting in my wife's treasury. Hopefully it doesn't get lost when she croaks so our son can do Jesus cosplay.

I swear the kaisers have some psychic ability to declare realm peace precisely when it's most obnoxious for me. I saw someone upthread say you can get favors from your liege by hopping on their council and being a Malcontent - is that the only way to prevent realm peace, or do I just have to suck it up and embrace the HRE?

Granted, being HRE is probably the only reason I didn't get eaten by France after starting as Upper Lorraine, but still.

Get stoned off hashish, this has variety of effects - seen it give stat bonuses, remove stressed, reveal plots or have a bad trip with stat malus.

I think some of the devil worshipping missions need to be less aimed at other members of the cult. Like why am I getting a mission to defile the temple of a fellow devil worshipper? And the event text lets you (if your intrigue is high) knock out and sacrifice them which is kind of counter productive since it weakens your cult (not to mention that the event text behaves as if they're a regular pious religious figure). Same with the missions to corrupt religious figures who are fellow members. While that's not as bad since it's usually just another sin added to their traits, it feels pointless since, well, they already worship the devil.

Also there's a lot of "he" in the even texts where female characters are involved (also Hel :v: ). Also when I'm already complaining and making more wishes, I wish recruiting family members gave you a different event text than recruiting strangers.

They really need to make it so you get a mark when you get a familiar (trading an eye for ravens like Wotan would be great) because it would set up a meta-game. Your catholic ruler gets sick but people don't get sick. It must be because of a witch. My commander is missing an eye, clearly an agent of satan. He must die so I can live.
