My Republic needed more trade posts, so I went seduction focus and popped out as many legitimized bastards as I could. I had 7 in the end. Every single fuckin one of them ran off to join a knightly order, and I never even got consulted because they'd spread out into other courts for some reason.

I finally completed the immortality quest chain successfully! http://imgur.com/twZcwlZ He was 29 when he completed it, survived Consumption (twice), and conquered his neighbors to try and from the Empire. He fell short when he died at 67, making love to his wife...with the heart of a 29 year old.  The event happened twice, the first time it was a 15% chance to die. A few years later, it was 40%, and it did him in. Just seems silly that should happen to a young immortal character.

Rebels and Warmongers continues to own. Turns out if you'e blinded in a battlefield duel, you have a chance of literally becoming Zatoichi, complete with a totally bitchin' nickname.   The personal combat skill bonus mitigates the penalty for being blind in the first place, so you don't even miss a step. And of course, even legendary blind swordmasters need a loyal doggo to help them around the palace.   .....For a few years, anyway.

Were the children's' mothers in a different court than yours? To increase the trade post limit, you need a legitimized unlanded adult male in your court. A child in another court will have decisions made for it by the AI. Personally, I like to seduce a woman and invite her to court, that way she can be a baby making factory for kids I raise myself. The better you get at seduction, the more likely it is that women will find you so attractive they'll go to your court (sometimes without even bribing them.), so you can invite them to your court and seduce them really fast without having to wait for the court travel time.

Overthrow Ruler is the CB the game uses when either the so named faction fires or a vassal refuses your entirely reasonable revocation request. It turns out that there are two versions, one of which has the term “is_tyranny_cb” in its code. I’m not sure how long it’s been like this, ‘cos it’s a while since I decided to revoke everything and start again, and I don’t know enough about the way the games code works to properly understand the whys and wherefores. But when I failed to revoke the kingdom of Scotland it turns out that all my vassals decided to join in, on Scotland’s side. At the time, I was Liege to Britannia, Norway, the Papacy, and about 60-75% of the former Karling realms. The war didn’t last very long.

So if you're overthrown, does the title go to an heir, a pretender, or the head of the faction?

I did that with something like 2k in the bank, which whittled down to about 1k which I blew on some mercs and conquered a load of other ravaged places that were struggling to rebuild

Anyone have a preferred UI mod that increases character screen size other than Bigger Interface on the Workshop? Want to check out options. The increase in the number of traits and character modifiers in the past few patches/DLCs have made that bottom corner an unreadable mess these days. lurksion fucked around with this message at 07:39 on Apr 17, 2017 |

I'm not sure why I couldn't grapple with this game before, I'm having a great time now. What's the best way to lock down a county? I just spent a few years trying to stamp out a revolt, got sick of it and assassinated the ruler, then had to deal with several of his minor children who were being run by some fat bishop who I couldn't stab successfully. Now I have an eight year old in prison and all I want is a vassal that will shut up and pay his goddamn taxes.

Use the find character button in the bottom right to find a male non-ruler of your culture, religion and preferably of your dynasty, that has the Content trait. Give them the title.

Keep in mind that sooner or later that content vassal is going to die and inevitably you're going to end up with some ambitious dickbag. Sooner or later, bad vassals have to be dealt with no matter what you do. I always try bribes, honorary titles, etc. first but if the guy's a rival or just plain committed to hating you for various reasons then keep yourself militarily strong and maintain good ties with as many vassals as you can and you should be fine if the rear end in a top hat(s) in question revolt. And if they revolt then you've got a wonderful reason to strip a title off of them and throw them in the oubliette until they die. I'm particularly fond of stripping a duke of his duchy title and giving it to one of the other, more favorable counts in that duchy and letting them keep them in line. If I'm an emperor I do the same with kingdom titles and the dukes within it. Oh and if you form non-aggression pacts with vassals they'll stay out of factions and poo poo. Of course this somewhat limits your methods of being an rear end in a top hat to them but generally I don't gently caress over my vassals as long as they're playing nice too. I also like using conclave's empowered council and council war declaration to keep councilors from joining factions. Sure you get a demesne bonus from absolute authority but I don't mind giving that up for a more stable realm. Honky Dong Country fucked around with this message at 10:30 on Apr 17, 2017 |

Legacy of Rome used to be notorious for it, since it would make Greek characters evaluate who they could castrate at every tick. That was fixed when they got serious about profiling what made the game show. It was also pointed out that unit packs cause nontrivial memory pressure, so don't go overboard and use them all.

Imperial administration owns because every vassal serves at the Emperor's pleasure and you can revoke all of their poo poo at a whim. Of course, getting there is a pain in the rear end because you have to have absolute crown authority and no council rights, and it can be tedious as your viceroys constantly die and you have to hand-pick their successor. HIP and CK2+ have a scripted event that make this a lot easier though; basically whenever a viceroy dies or you get a little pop-up saying "hey, do you want to give their viceroyalty to their kid, or someone else?" and then if you pick "someone else" you get a couple of pre-selected choices from your court or the duchy's counts. It even pops up if once viceroy seizes another viceroy's duchy and asks if your Imperial Majesty wants to let them keep it. I always say no  Plus, you get a fancy purple portrait frame! Win-win-win.  ninjahedgehog fucked around with this message at 14:26 on Apr 17, 2017 |

For future reference, if an Agnatic line dies out the titles will go to another family, not the women in that family. Now I need to engineer a crisis for Germany so I can press my daughters weak claim... Also, if I had some tributaries and I wanted to fracture their kingdoms, what would people recommend? I'm thinking it's best to wait till a regency then whip up a couple vassals to rebel, but I feel like there should be a better way to get a tributary to be absorbed.

Hmm, I'm starting to think I should just find another claimant. I can't think of a way to influence a titles inheritance laws from outside the realm. Every time I play I get these flashes of insight that allow me to make great progress towards a goal, then get stumped on something else for a decade.

Now I have an eight year old in prison and all I want is a vassal that will shut up and pay his goddamn taxes. You can always just leave the vassal in prison; someone in jail is fairly limited in their ability to cause trouble, and there's nothing to stop you from imprisoning someone for the rest of their life. Alternately, you can try to make as many of your vassals people with the Content trait as possible, as they're far less likely to cause trouble. Either way, though, that'll only last a single generation. Chakan posted:For future reference, if an Agnatic line dies out the titles will go to another family, not the women in that family.

They're giving you a big chunk of their money, and you can call them into your wars as allies. Just by having them, you get stronger while they get weaker, so I usually take the opportunity to go bully other nations instead.

My M&M game is going pretty well, my first guy died after a decade leaving only his 1-year-old daughter, but to my surprise, things in Flanders held together pretty well and she became a Grand Duchess renowned for her exceptional piety. I really like the societies you can join, it gives such a huge amount of character to your, well, characters. Hilariously, although showing up essentially as soon as they possibly could (someone had the Son of Satan stuff in the first two years of the game lmao) the Aztecs have mostly stalled out, they own most of Morocco and southern Iberia and that's it. Also hilariously, Charlie died in combat against the Umayyads about three or four years into the game, meaning Karloman inherited everything, meaning everything soon fell the gently caress apart. France and Germany are a mess.

Basically this. Battlefield duels play out differently if one or both of the combatants is on horseback (which is in turn determined by if you're breeding horses or not). Naturally mounted fighters have a huge advantage over people on foot (one of the options in the opening stage is literally trampling them into the dust), but if they manage to unhorse you you might get really loving hurt when you hit the ground. It's a lot more dynamic and unpredictable than the HIP/CK2+ duel engine but my one complaint is that RaW's events don't fire immediately after one another like the duel engine does, so sometimes a duel ends a while after the actual battle does.

I think I like the current dynamic better, where you just stab the everliving poo poo out of anybody who gives you any guff or stands in the way of your heir and an electoral victory. I pretty much live in the intrigue focus while playing a republic. It also fits in really well with Satanics for obvious reasons. But honestly being a total bastard in a republic has worked pretty well where most other government types would get reasons for revocation easier. Plus if you stab an entire dynasty to death, it's kind of like a revocation...hehhehheh....heh.....ehhhh.

I'm currently futzing around, considering another run to convert to EUIV (possibly romans, jerusalem, persia, or india), and I'm pondering heresies. Specifically, what do heresies do? I'm aware they're the wrong religion for relations purposes, but aside from most of the catholic ones (that seem to do stuff in terms of allowing women or removing the pope), being a heretic doesn't seem to do anything.
