Does Glitterhoof get replaced by a camel or elephant if you're playing an Arabic or Indian character?

Man I'm having my most successful game ever since I somehow formed the HRE as Charlemagne. I already have most of Norway and Sweden and I've gotten about half a dozen or small states to just straight up accept being vassals. Even better my son who took over was a high ranking Satanist. I'm not sure where to move next, I think Denmark is ruled by a relative, but I'd need to double check. I'm thinking to just go after the small states around Finland since it isn't near any majors and work on getting the Kingdom of Finland to go with my Kingdom of Sweden, so I can form the Empire of Scandinavia. I kind of wish the save wasn't an iron man one now so I could play around with things more, but eh the risk involved is kind of fun too.

So what are some tips for consolidating my rule or what I should do next? It appears I still use the pagan default, and I don't have to worry about a Gavelkind clusterfuck trashing the Kingdom.

I mean, once you've reformed the faith and switched to Primo/Ultimogeniture, it's whatever you want to do. Find some land bordering a bunch of heathens and give it to an Aggressive, Zealous relative. Then do the same with another patch of land. Give it 20 years and see the sort of chaos they've wreaked in their neighbourhoods. Or, go raiding to find out how exotic you can make your new concubines. Bonus if you can then get an heir that will let you switch Culture to one that gives you Horse Archers.

Not to look a gift horse in the mouth, but has anyone else had a bunch of money added to their treasury for no discernible reason lately? I was at around 1000 gold, looked away for a second, and suddenly had 6000-something. No events or pop-ups or anything, just a big ol' pile of gold

No events or pop-ups or anything, just a big ol' pile of gold That usually happens because some branch of your dynasty died off somewhere without an heir and they managed to accumulate a significant sum of money somehow (being involved in merchant Republics can lead to this - all the unlanded male dynasty members actually do get their share of the money, but they can't spend it on anything so they just keep accumulating it and passing it on when they die, and so on until the branch cuts off).

That or I think a top level liege also inherits gold from vassals who die without any valid heir. If you've got the patience to constantly reassign titles a good way to manage your realm is to give every title to an ancient homosexual and then pay them off to keep them happy, collecting back the titles and gold a couple of years later when they inevitably die childless.

I am playing AFter the End as an Americanist. I have all the reqs filled for Restore America, but for some reason "The Kingdom of Columbia Is Completely Controlled" is still X'd out. I am the King of Columbia, have an empire-level title above it, and all of the de jure Kingdom is in my Realm.What gives?

I really enjoy the early middle age british isles. Lots of small petty kingdoms, relatively isolated, and it's a long time before france wants to play. Plenty of time to play as an insignificant pawn and rise to maybe form england or scotland, and things like that. It's really fun. But I've had CK2 a long time, and spent a lot on DLCs i've barely used. Any suggestions for where I should play, for something similar but different? Or am i more or less stuck with the british isles for that king of thing?

If you want to try an Islamic ruler, a duke in the Arabian Peninsula in the Early Middle Ages is kind of like that. It's pretty easy to snowball by gobbling up your weak neighbors for piety, you have no external threats for a very long time, and the kingdom title is waiting to be created.

Deceitful Penguin posted:What? You should have a de jure holding CB on him. Why won't he vassalize? Wrong culture? Try granting him a duchy under your de jure kingdom? Well, I don't directly hold the county his barony is in, my vassal (or possibly my vassal's vassal) does. There's an Intrigue event to vassalize the order, so maybe I have to do it that way (I don't yet qualify for that one.)

867 is an amazing start. It's the most divided western Europe gets, and they've all got gavelkind, so it'll only get more divided if they screw up their wars on each other. The only downside is that the reconquista will probably never happen in Spain, the Byzantines might never fall, and vikings. In my latest game, it turns out that even when you want to chill out as a vassal, when you're not paying attention you become your liege's top vassal, and even my new ruler got immediately appointed councilor, commander, regent, and master of the hunt. It's even gotten to the point that my liege keeps poaching away my children from my super-tutors, but at least I can stop him from French-ifying them. Sure, I may have crushed the state of Lotharingia/Italy while my liege has been reduced to a rump state without Aquitane, but c'mon. Now I'm at the point where I've wrestled away all the dutch lands and my plan was to form Frisia and move from there, but that'd be the "wrong" decision, because I could get so much more de jure territory by seizing the crown for myself.

If you don't have the two Frisia achievements, you might as well just form it and work on them. It's also rich as hell, so it's a good place to set up shop anyway.

Holy poo poo, I may have had the incredible battle I've ever seen in this game.  Playing as the Armenian Empire, with CK2+ and Rebels and Warmongers. At this point, I've recreated the borders of Alexander the Great and I'm pushing into India against another empire that's united about 75% of the subcontinent, so we're essentially the two most powerful nations on Earth slugging it out over a duchy in the Hindu Kush.  Not only did we win while outnumbered more than two to one, but the Armenians slaughtered the Indians to a loving man. To be fair, they were attacking an entrenched position across a river, and it may have been helped by the fact that the Armenian emperor personally killed one of their flank commanders in a mounted duel. I imagine that in this timeline, the Battle of Kuh Taftan is taught right alongside Cannae and Teutuburg Forest at military academies around the world. EDIT: Oh wow, doing some quick research, it turns out that Taftan IRL is an active volcano. Holy hell.

Playing with Monks and Mystics, I like the idea of like having opt-in extra story events to spice up more boring reigns, but so far the Dominican order is super boring and Hermetic is fun, but probably overpowered. Throughout the DLCs and expansions there has been a lot of stat inflation, and hermetic really pushes things to the edge. Also, as conceptually neat it is to have a handgun in the year 900, it's also really out of place. Really weird that the hermetic society doesn't do anything with the technology system too. I'm also playing without satanism, which I'm sure is even more overpowered and historically inaccurate, but probably pretty handy if you're trying to powergame on iron man. The treasure system is also probably more trouble than its worth. The new councilor options can be kinda nifty, but they also kinda break the system that alarms you if you haven't given your councilor orders yet. Theoretically the ordering allies should be neat, but I'm too stupid to use it well. There's nothing like having a good long reign with a great ruler, and then when he dies his son lasts a week and then the guy after that is terrible because my son was out of my control. I didn't know how close I was riding to the vassal/demesne limit, and now I need to either secede to form Frisia or forge a claim on my liege's throne (which my liege has made difficult by stopping me from plotting) or figure out a way to claim an already existing crown. In the meantime, I've put my dynasty in control of several far-flung lands in Bulgaria, Hungary, Italy, and England, and I've tributized most of the states in Germany and Denmark.
