How do hospitals work? Should I be building one in each county I control? Does an in-upgraded hospital help at all? The upgrade costs are super steep and the benefits don't seem that great.

Hospital's main jobs are preventing the spread of epidemics and reducing the chance of losing prosperity during an epidemic. So you should build hospitals at: your capital geographic choke points a province where you are fishing for the event that adds a holding slot Blanketing isn't really cost effective but there's worse ways to waste gold.

IDK if it's specifically due to Reapers Due, but I've had a bad run of rulers dying of scurvy on ships on the way to attack a CB I just got. Extremely annoying with Italy, it takes so long to get CB's there. Leave the boss at home, guys.

I think scurvy got dialed up to discourage pleasure cruises during epidemics. Its the worst with whatever is happening that makes your leader a phantom general unless you outright ban your character from leading armies (and it still seems like you occasionally jump on a ship anyway). Scurvy needs something like the seclusion food bank because MTTH is completely wrong and frustrating way to handle it on a boat.

Chance of scurvy is increased if your capital is suffering from disease. Just leave your generals at home until your troops arrive then use the commander wormhole to send them to Italy.

Scurvy is also one of the most easily cured diseases, I don't think I've had a physician fail to cure it after identifying it yet.

Semi-newbie here. I really want to wipe my boot with the Italian king's face. Playing as a Corsican duke at the Old Gods start, I'd captured a few provinces to expand my realm a little bit, but had left Italy alone. All of a sudden, they declare war on me for no reason that I can determine. I manage to stave them off by a combination of an ill-timed revolt in ~50% of the Italian provinces, a few small allies joining the fight, and bankrupting myself with mercs. Short of plotting to kill him, what's the best way to lay waste to that worthless POS?

imo ask him to vassalize you (which shouldn't be an issue) then start factions to overthrow him from power (maybe even install yourself if you get enough backers). Only downfall of that is if you become his vassal and he immediately starts trying to revoke your poo poo but then you just refuse and are at war and it's basically the same situation you were already in anyway except now some of his vassals might revolt as well even if not directly in aid of you. I do that poo poo to empires as a king all the time lol, should work just as easy for a duke going into a kingdom.

Oh man, I found a new and wonderful way to get sayyid onto non-muslims; be a satanist and order one kidnapped (the Idrisids at Charlie are what I´ve been using but it will only get easier at later start-dates are more are sayyid) then force them into Satanism. Then you just have to rank up to the top, which shouldn't be terribly hard and then just order them to come then marry them to whatever and raise their kids with heritages. Because you inducted them they're then part of your sub-satanists and it's no big deal. Voila, instant matri-marriage candidates. And the best thing it sorta fits doesn't it? Like, it's not game-y as such, it's literal satanists going halfway around the world to grab someone for their bloodline. now, if only I could reliably get an Iceland merchant republic going again. Man, I really, really wish that you could still move a capital after becoming a merchant republic because I can't swear fealty from the Canaries anymore and you have to have a duchy title to reform but the Canaries aren't safe from the plague.  i just wanna grow that Arabian empire as I seed it with assassins, my dynasty and secret shiites.

In general, some sort of way to switch from feudal to MR wouldn't be the worst. Obviously not just a button to click, but a process would be nice.

Also as an aside it would be nice if the MR succession was done somehow such that when I have full women's rights/equality the MR isn't still "only men can inherit" bc there's no way to actually change succession rules bc it is an MR. My immersion

If heresies become the main religion (in my game, Iconoclasm has taken over Orthodox), does the heresy get the secret societies? I'm debating swearing fealty to the Byzantine Emperor.

Orthodox does have a Secret Society, it becoming a Heresy shouldn't affect it. Most religions including heresies don't get one.

Oh man, the societies and moved holy site has really made Zunists a lot more feasible. Not, by any meaning of the word easy but drat, if I hadn't forgotten to plonk my chancellor on the Caliph after the old one died, I think this mighta worked out. Now, my only regret is that I can't seem to murder my brother fast enough and that there's no Jewgold for Zunists. Runnin' outta merc cash fast. Also game crashed but I have way too much poo poo running so that happens sometimes.

Every 769 game I've played since 2.6 has had AI Mega Zunbils, I think the caliphate collapsing more reliably has been a big boost to them. Kinda miffed that Paradox is waiting a few weeks to release 2.7.1, there's a handful of really nasty bugs that should probably have been hotfixed within the first week of release.

In my secret Jew game the Abbasids are loving solid as a rock and it's really annoying. Seems like before M&M came out they always got wrecked by decadence. Kinda frustrating since I own Nubia and Abyssinia and I'm basically waiting on them to get wrecked before all us God's Faithful throw our yarmulkes on and flip the Muslim world the bird.

Is immortal a trait you can search for in people finder window? I literally never tried and apart from failing the event I have zero experience with it. but kidnapping and eating someone over like a 500 year period is an achievable goal.

Thanks to that loss causing a bankruptcy and a timely Shia caliphate, the Abbasids are now shattered and I'm laughing maniacially as I decide whether to conquer the steppes, head to Oman and then to Africa or go for the horrible Indian thunderdome. I'm terribly tempted to head for Africa but I have literally zero boats. Does anyone know if tribal zunists raid at all? The non-Norse/Horse Nomad Ai seems really reluctant to do it for some reason. Btw, my absolutely favourite new thing in the game is "Offer Concubine" interaction. Holy smokes it is the absolute best. No more idiots never marrying and dying at 70 childless; at least if the fuckers won't marry anyone I tell them they can at least have some kids. What the hell is up with them never marrying anyway? I'm guessing lack of eligible ladies but why the heck doesn't the game spawn a few for the new dudes? Goofballs posted:Is immortal a trait you can search for in people finder window?

It seems like the AI is a lot more choosy about the marriages it makes, and is always looking for good alliances, and it will prioritize that over actually producing heirs. Getting people to marry into my dynasty or even form alliances with me (my own wife, who I installed as a queen, wouldn't ally herself with me) seems to be much harder. The AI knows you are going to take whatever route you can to screw it over, so it's doing the same thing.

I think there's also an element of performance involved as well - lower level title holders most likely don't check for spouses as often just because they don't really matter as much and it saves on processing. The AI is definitely crafty about alliances and claims though - they generally don't care too much about the stats of a spouse (attractive/strong/genius characters get a bit of a bonus in their consideration but not a huge one), but they will definitely try to secure claims on titles through marriage. They don't always end up pressing the claims but they like having the option.

I feel like :attractive: should be able to marry cross-confession. History has plenty of examples of people marrying someone of the wrong religion because they were super hot and couldn't help themselves. (Plus they needed the reconciliation but they can frame it as "she is so beautiful depraved king who lost a war couldn't help himself and had to marry the beautiful daughter of the pagan. While he was also forced to give his beloved daughter away to become a concubine (the shame!) because of the depravity of the other.")

Plus there's stuff like the Byzantine Emperor marrying off his sister to the still-pagan Vladimir the Great. It wasn't common, but it happened.

It obviously happened in areas where the ruler was of a different religion than the people he ruled over but it was rare enough that it doesn't really need to be modeled. Pakled posted:Plus there's stuff like the Byzantine Emperor marrying off his sister to the still-pagan Vladimir the Great. It wasn't common, but it happened. Eh, Vladimir the Great marrying a byzantine princess was essentially a part of the deal of him converting. That's not really a great example.

I'd be cool with that. Steppe people would happily switch from raiding to trading if they got a nice economic deal and some noble women. One of the reasons the Byzantines had more issues with Steppe people as compared to say, the Chinese, was that they were more reluctant to marry them. The pattern would get reset every couple of hundred years because someone decided to put their dick in the "I can totally beat the Steppe people in a land war" blender. I also feel they need a sweet supernatural event for the "horses that sweat blood".
