Yeah once Byzantium lost the Exarch of Ravenna and their ability to influence the pope at all the divide was complete. So another problem we can blame on iconoclasm.

The biggest problem post 1066 in this game (in Europe) is the complete non-appearance of the Investiture Contest. Instead of anything interesting happening, the big gray blob will just smash everything around it with Salians in charge forever

Is there a way to have the game notify you when you can change your laws again? You can have notices for so many other things, so having to remember that it's been five/ten years and checking that again is annoying.

Ha, abusable China bug. Just finangled my way into the Ark of the Covenant (aka invited and stabbed) and sent it off to China, and it wasn't removed. Now I have a free 10k grace every few years. I presume this would apply to any of the indestructible artifacts (iron crown lombardy, ark of covenant, jesus shroud). Enjoy infinite China goodies before the patch I guess! On another note - is anyone else noticing that when landing courtiers, their spouses/kids aren't going with them? I seem to be collecting a ton of wives and kids of people I foisted my latest conquests off of. lurksion fucked around with this message at 21:47 on Nov 29, 2017 |

Somewhat annoying when I land my heir and then notice their wife is still sitting in my court. And I can't even ask them to leave.

axeil posted:Is there a way to tell if your save will still get achievements? I have an old Roman Empire game from back before the new DLC that's in 1150 and I'm absolutely massive and want to play through to the end but I don't want to bother if I can't get any achievements for doing it and I don't see any way to tell if I'm good or not. I meant to respond to this earlier, but ingame there's a little "i" icon in the top-left of the screen by your character portrait. If you click that it'll take you to a screen describing the features of your culture/gov't/religion and also has a button that says "Game Rules." In that screen it'll tell you whether achievements are enabled or disabled for your save.

No, because when you disband it, the money they earned doesn't go to you for some weird and stupid reason, so all it gives you is a portion of their fee It's main use, as far as I know, is to enable merchant republics to create a super army for themselves

I really wish they started doing content packs like they have been doing for the other main titles. poo poo like adding societies or treasures or even just events. Or adding them with patches, I suppose. Finishing filling out some of the stuff regarding defensive pagans and the new religions would be baller, as well as fixing caste stuff

Wasn't there some grand plan to polish up Russia at some point? I swear I saw a dev diary called "the third rome" or something in the launcher alongside Jade Dragon a few months ago. I hope they're done adding paid content, but a good spitshine would be nice if Jade Dragon is really the last DLC.

I would give anything for Mali to have a coast. It's not like those places weren't inhabited, they'd just be tribal, and not having to go through the Sahara to get anywhere would fix so much.

One of my vassals keeps creating and destroying title Raj of Anartta. Weird, I wonder if it's just a random bug or it is caused by some mechanics, maybe because of gavelkind (and reluctance to split the realm)?

I feel like content packs would be great for that, because while I feel they should be free, the reality is that Paradox need money and so smaller things like that might work out. The West Africans not fitting in with the rest of the game is a problem, but really, reskinning the societies to fit the pagans shouldn't be that hard. I honestly don't know why every reformed religion doesn't get their own religious org and access to the hermetics Or why WA doesn't have their own Satanics :/

Has anyone run into the problem of having their settings just stop applying in-game? I know for a fact I switched off secret religious cults, but my son who just inherited, as well as his entire family, are apparently secret Jains, and I'm now thinking a lot of my vassals and courtiers probably are too. I also know I set the Mongols and Turkic raiders to appear in their historical time periods, but it's barely 1000 AD and they're both out there loving poo poo up. Things are going well other than that, so I'm just gonna ride it out, but it's pretty frustrating.

My post-Jade Dragon game has been plagued by king level vassals constantly making and destroying duchies, it's ridiculous, I keep making the duchies and handing them off to counts just to stop the pop-ups.

I think it's because they're programmed to always make new titles when they can, but if they're a king level vassal then they make the duchy, see that making the duchy has given them the "too many duchies" opinion penalty and then destroy it to avoid the penalty. They recognize that they should get rid of the title when they have it but that doesn't carry over to recognizing that they just shouldn't make it in the first place.

It seems it was already reported at official forums, so hopefully it will be fixed in obligatory post-expansion hotfix. Apparently, befored JD, they would just give away titles, now they don't. Dwesa fucked around with this message at 16:59 on Nov 30, 2017 |

I don't know if it was always a thing and I just never quite noticed it before, but it feels like most of the time newly landed people just refuse to have kids. I'll go out of my way to ensure I'm giving land to men who're fairly young and with no fertility-decreasing traits and that I marry them to young women with no such traits as well but more often then not these jerks are apparently barren. It's really annoying because it means if I conquer a chunk of counties (like say in a holy war) it's inevitable that within a decade or two the lot of it will be the personal demesne of some duke or I get crazy internal bordergore.

I think the thinking is like, "How do I keep the lands within my dynasty?" and matrilineal marriages that are accepted and don't lose you prestige are the easiest within your dynasty. I think it's partly WAD, partly a problem with the new courier culling protocols. Man, I'd kill to have more poo poo like "Court Baron" to tell the game not to murder all my commanders the moment my dude dies.

Is "vanished without a trace" the codeword for "culled due to the new courtier culling code"? Because I've seen that appear on a few children from my dynasty and it's somewhat unnerving.

It is a bit strange to burn hundreds of people on a stake as a buddhist, considering that game itself allows you to freely change to some other (indian) religion or change to a different branch. But I will not allow them to convert counties in case they gain momentum and them having different religion gives an opinion malus, so it's preferrable to burn them, just in case

So you can get multiple copies of "How To Build a Well", and their effects stack. I want to see how high this can go, since I'm at -50% build time, I want to materialize buildings out of the ether overnight. edit: With the steward, its 1 day to build anything, I just shat a maxed out castle into existence in a fortnight.

It's been a good strategy so far, but just before I logged off last night China itself went Buddhist. Welp.

Why do people keep leaving heretic Bibles with me and why can't I ever find out who's doing it Edit: I'm really enjoying all this new DLC. On the flip side I'm starting to feel like the treasury + artifacts feature might be a touch overpowered if you stock up on them, a few generations in and you've got super stat bonuses for all new characters. Chinese artifacts add to this. At least it makes the Hermetic society and learning more worthwhile. Magil Zeal fucked around with this message at 22:23 on Nov 30, 2017 |
