I want to secretly revive the norse faith. How can I hint to people that I'm down for being seduced into a secret cult?

Own one of the holy sites and secretly convert if you haven't already. If you have the option to create the secret society then do that.

You should be able to right click on the county flag to get at the county menu. It should have options for all the religions it's a holy site for and the current religion of the county.

You might also be able to marry a Norse pagan and secretly convert through their diplomacy menu.

boner confessor posted:nomads and tribals have special holding rules Yeah, I know how nomads and tribes work. They just aren't working. I could understand if it was just Tribes, and a Tribe counted as both a Castle and a City but wasn't one until it had been upgraded into one, but I have a province containing nothing but a Temple and saying I can't build a Castle there because I haven't built one of each holding type yet. It's acting like there's already a Castle or a City there.

Well, I think my Connecticut/Gotham/Hudsonia game is dead. The furthest I can get without the crash is August 20, 2790. It's a real shame, my heir was already king of Ontario, so I had even more avenues of expansion open to me, even as the reforming Norse Kingdom of Superior (which became the Rust Empire? I think something was screwy there) grew larger and larger and was flooding me with raiders while pirates from somewhere off the coast did the same. I went and did a practice game of Amalfi, which was fun, but I did a stupid and started at the Charlemagne start, when merchant republics are weaker and the giant blobs never die. Sloooowly creeping my way around through southern Italy and Sicily while under the dominion of the Byzantines was neat and all, but it looks like I can't usurp any duke-level titles while they're held by a fellow vassal, and the imperial law has viceroyalty duchies anyways, so I doubt I'd really be able to keep it, and there's no faction or plot to undo that. The empire just seems stronger and stronger, the Muslim bulwark has shattered, and the entire empire has gone catholic, so I have my doubts about taking a shot at independence. Incidentally, is it a good idea to land your designated heir to give him a chance at gaining prestige/get him out of your court so he can reproduce unhindered? So, any suggestions for another After the End game? Rust Cultism and Americanism look neat, but I kind of want to do the next thing far, far away from the northeast geography or the Great Lakes raiding deathblob. Alternatively, is there a good first ironman run to get started on getting achievements? I might try my hand at that.

I might try my hand at that. reforming the empire of california is a fun try, you can also try the duchy of portland > kingdom of cascadia but the enatic matriarchy of the gaians conflicts a bit with default game rules. king cullen of gran francisco is fun if you want to get in endless fights with raiders. duke huey of tuskeegee in alabama is a powerful vassal to the holy columbian confederacy who has growth potential if you want to play HRE politics (before you unpause, take out a loan and immediately create the duchy of birmingham). the mormon king of deseret is sort of fun if you like beating on tribals

SlothfulCobra posted:Incidentally, is it a good idea to land your designated heir to give him a chance at gaining prestige/get him out of your court so he can reproduce unhindered? As of one of the recent patches (2.7?) landed characters are blocked from inheritance in a MR. And last time I tried, even making him into a mercenary is enough to block him from inheriting, so no luck there either. Your heir needs to stay in your court. Pretty sure that the temporary title blocking inheritance is a bug though, because that can't be intended behaviour. It was supposed to prevent weird inheritances issues with feudal realms converting to republic and vice-versa, which the temporary merc titles have never caused a problem with. Also, the designated heir title can only be applied to someone in your court, so if you landed him he would lose the designated heir title and someone else would be the heir anyway.

Can't mercs still theoretically get landed as a response to their contractor being in debt? There used to be a lot of landed merc companies way back.

Yep, but that gives them an actual landed title. The dynamic mercs are the one I'm talking about, where you can just right click on a son and send them away to get prestige and gain lustful.

It feels really lovely that married men in your court are less likely to reproduce as a result of game optimization but landing them effectively poofs them from merchant republics. At the same time, when I granted them duchy level merchant republics, it never seemed like they built any trade posts. It seems like mid to late game, you're warring and taking (Mooslim) counties just so you can invite nobles to court to grant them landed titles, which isn't as fun as subjugating rulers or building a mega-dynasty.

Am I missing something, or do you really not get to change anything when customizing countries, besides their name? It's kinda lame that you can't change its map colour or flag, especially when you're making a brand new empire or kingdom through decisions.

I just got my first ever Immortal ruler, and what a guy to get it on: Also I discovered that the little girl who turns up in the Learning chain will remain in court after you succeed, and while she won't marry...  In my defence I didn't look at the portrait before installing CK2: Immortal Kings of Anime, only the stats. But I do now have a pregnant immortal 8-year-old in my court.

So I've never played a character with the Gluttonous trait during a Seclusion from contagious diseases, holy poo poo. There isn't an option to say no to eating a courtier, so all I could do was helplessly hit "Ok" while my character ate one of his baby mamas.

I've been playing Elder Kings lately. Pretty fun as an Orc up in High Rock, steadily expanding the Kingdom of Orsinium. Just weathered the On the plus? side, the Knahaten Flu killed off my Steward, which combined with my latest ruler's low Stewardship caused two dozen bandit/skeever/troll/smuggler/etc attacks in my provinces, which I was able to convert into adventurers for a tax boost.

I just read the part of the OP about Charlemagne starts leading to big blobby empires that never die. How bad is that? I'm trying out that start date at the moment, with a plan to eventually import the save into EU4, but I don't wanna import the save if it's gonna come with a giant 500 year old Abbasid Caliphate covering the whole map. When should I start to make sure I don't end up with an invincible superpower that makes EU4 really boring?

The thing I'm looking forward the most to from Jade Dragon isn't the new cultures, government types, artifacts, map setup or the religions and events No, it's the ability to, hopefully, destroy a top level title completely with the console, because that's what's supposed to happen when you lose to the Chinese if you try and invade. If I can just run that event, then no need to try and run a decadence invasion on every single large blob at game start

In my current game the Byzantine Empire has mostly imploded and the Abassids have schismed into three separate kingdoms. The HRE has expanded into the Byzantine vacuum, but not completely - they're as far east as western Cumania but don't hold Constantinople or anything in Asia Minor and they also don't have complete control over France. They're also no longer ruled by Karlings, although that family still rules Italy. So, it's not quite as big as people make out.
