So I managed to progress my game 20 years to 1319 last night. I took France, Portugal and now I have 85% threat, so I guess I'm chilling for a few decades. Made a bunch of vassal Kings and I'm hoping they go to town. A few funny things I realized when I left Britannia: the Iberian muslims converted to Christianity. Armenia is still independent, but not miasphyte. Georgia is still independent. The seljuks have been reduced to a single kingdom. Yazidh, Sunni and Shia are all rocking a 30% moral authority, and the Kingdom of Jerusalem was founded by the Knights Templar 100 years ago. Imperial rule is kind of garbage though because everyone keeps getting the plague.

Though the new mechanics and new places are good even if you don't. Yeah this is the reason I keep picking Quebecois characters even though they're way up on the edge of the map and are a pretty difficult start (I'm actually from Ontario but I find the Ursulines more interesting than the High Church). Did they ever fix the issue where Ursuline priestesses wouldn't appear in the religion tab? I haven't played AtE since several expansions ago.

Today, after over 1000 hours of gameplay, I finally realized that you can search for specific traits in the Find Characters search bar by typing in their names, instead of scrolling through each character individually and checking for icons. I don't know whether I'm laughing or crying.

Having been reminded of its existence by previous posters, I've gotten into Elder Kings. This... will take some getting used to. Mostly because I want to play Khajiit and 16 years of regency every succession is going to hurt. Also the Dragonborn was discovered to be some baron off in the isles north of Akavir.

So I'm in a bit of a pickle in my Norway game. I'm trying to assemble the holy sites for reforming the germanic faith. I've captured one of the two holy sites I need, and the easiest one that I can see getting is the one in Sweden. However, I'm not sure how I can. I don't have subjugation available, and nobody in my diplo range has a claim to the county/duchy/kingdom. The kingdom seems incredibly stable, even after taking out the current king. I'm kind of at a loss for what to do at this point. I still need to raise my moral authority anyway so I'm not in a rush to do it. I'm just not really sure how to proceed besides just waiting and hoping things go lovely for sweden.

In any case, while that's happening, eye Zeeland like a loving hawk and burn down Ireland to raise MA. There's also a few isolated tribal places around the Baltic you can burn down. Conquests are also good; I love getting Man as a forward base for raiding and then that part of Italy on the islands that's independent.

Good to know. I actually tried to grab Zeeland once before during a revolt, but he quashed the revolt real quick and sent me packing. The worst part as a Norse player right now is that it feels like I'm kind of just stuck. I don't make a lot of money so I need to do raiding, but in order to raid, I need to use my personal levies, and that saps my gold which I need to get from raiding. I don't think I've had more than 150 at one time in my coffers.

What? Use the marshals "raise raiders" option. Do you have enough land? You should also never forget the ABC (Always be Conquering), though now that defensive pagans can actually defend themselves its a bit trickier. Are you burning poo poo down? That's the big difference in making pocket money and raking in the big bucks. And going all the way to Italy? The trip is long but burning down Venice and Rome alone should get you several hundred ducks a trip. I swear, one of these days I'm going to finally do that tutorial LP I said I'd do... edit: Also, I swear to gently caress, the goddamn muslims never, NEVER have liberation revolts. Meanwhile, the Norse can't take two counties in Ireland without getting slammed by the righteous Irish doomstacks. Deceitful Penguin fucked around with this message at 18:15 on Sep 18, 2017 |

I have enough land that I'm hitting the vassal limit. I've conquered all of De Jure Norway and the southern kingdom (I forget what it's called and am not at my computer) through subjugation. I ended up granting the jarldom of Prussia independence because I was over my limit. I personally own 5 counties out of 7 total. My monthly income is a little over 2 gold right now.

You can do a conquest CB on any land or sea neighbour of a different religion. You need the Become King ambition to take over everyone in that kingdom's de-jour territory, but due to a bug I don't think has been fixed, that also uses your free subjugation CB.

CascadeBeta posted:Christ. Is there a way to find out if he was besides claims not firing? I'm guessing he wouldn't have a modifier that states as such. Yes. Pull up his character sheet and check how much money he has. The bribe amount is 50 gold, so if he suddenly has 50 gold more than he should, he's been bribed. This probably only works well if he's not a landowner, as a landowners may spend their income on demesne improvement. CascadeBeta posted:I have enough land that I'm hitting the vassal limit.

If you're playing Tribal Norse, the game is really meant for you to be raiding for income, rather than getting it from taxes. I learned the basics here: http://www.ckiiwiki.com/Raiding And this video tutorial gets into more of the details, so that you can optimize it better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49RSOybR7qA&t Personally, I used about half of my own levies and/or my vassal levies and flagged them as raiders, because organize raid can be unreliable, and they can get pissy if, say, I'm driving my guys down to Constantinople and they feel like it's taking too long. ETA: You can also see which counties will make the best economic targets by putting the map through the economy filter. The greener it is, the more economy it has. But sending a bunch of guys and burning down temples in a county isn't a bad option too, since it gives you like +1% religious authority each time you do and -1% to the religion you pillaged.

Conmacc has more troops than I'd expect, unless it's got a lot of territory. Other than that, the numbers looks pretty reasonable aside from the whopping 4,500 dudes from Gryffindor. Must have been some kind of confusing confluence of events to make all those dudes from different realms all converge on one spot.

I've reached a peak in my  My continental territory seems impressive, but that was just a bit of cleverness of marrying off an heir to the queen of France when it briefly broke away from the HRE. Somehow the duke of Poitou got really aggressive and conquered all this junk underneath me (he's even got a wee bit of Africa that you can barely see). Here's the direct vassals map:  The most obvious avenue for advancement is by fighting the HRE for de jure parts of France, but that'd be difficult and slow. My only ally's the king of Burgundy by this point, and after I made my heir the duke of Kent, he somehow went and made his heir a baron of some place in the HRE. Confusing. There's also still the Nadrid and the Abbasids for holy war, but they're both really tough. A couple crusades have already tried and failed against the Abbasids. I've also got a claim I can push for the kingdom of Sjaeland, but I'd like to have a more coherent plan than that to work with. Also of note is the itty bitty de jure empire of Francia, which is probably the result of the HRE forming weird. I'm surprised that the duke of Brittany hasn't tried at least declaring himself a king to get more pull. The HRE's lousy with kings.

I'm still not really sure how tributaries work, so I'm hesitant to get into them. Also, I forgot to mention, but my ruler's a secret Fraticelli, and I've been leveling up through the Fraticelli Faithful, and I'm not sure how all that works either.

Although I'm not sure if that really counts as them condemning incest so much as just being aware of the consequences of inbreeding. quote:In Videvdad 8.13, Ahura Mazdā gives rules for what kind of urine (maēsman) can be used to wash a “corpse-cutter,” the mortician: urine from animals is fine, but not that from people, except men and women in xᵛaētuuadaθa (incestual marriage). This injunction is reflected as late as in the Persian Rivāyats, where ḵᵛetyudaṯ is recommended to remove pollution (riman; tr.

I've got a save where the HRE keeps getting into a war with me with no declaration. No popup, no nothing, just all of a sudden a bunch of 10k stacks of soldiers who were wandering around my territory already go red, and there's nothing I can do. Why does this keep happening? It feels like some kind of bug. It's extra annoying since I went through all the effort of waiting for the realm to prosper.
