Soho Joe posted:769 Magyar RIP 867 Magyar: Completely pillaged most of Europe and conquered the steppes during 200 years. My clans joined almost every war, I had Byzantium and Arabia as extremely powerful tributaries, and I was ready to settle down as a Republic with 25k gold and numerous Chinese boons and a lot of tech points. But I wait to settle until I pillage one last city, and my ruler dies abruptly. I mostly ignored succession because my family is prolific and I have so many treasury boons. But because I play with default equal rights, I am now an elderly woman in an ancient non-matrilineal marriage with no playable heir regardless of how I settle or who I kill or marry. The option to create a republic is unavailable, and I'm pretty sure I'd still lose even if I could enact it now. Whats wrong with 867 Magyar? I was thinking about giving them a go

DJ Dizzy posted:Is there a reason I cant assign commanders to my army? I have multiple titled commanders, but this happens If they serve on your council and are otherwise busy fabricating claims or training troops, then you can't assign them to lead armies. Same deal if they are in prison or on pilgrimage/haji, secluded in their castle because of a disease outbreak, withdrawn in seclusion to meditate/pray, etc.

Thanks! also, your vassals have a tendency to randomly faff off and do their own things, especially if they have low opinion of you So what you can do instead, is to go into the character finder, checking the "will join court" option and then men and just sorting by martial score Voila! A whole heap of possible commanders with far fewer attachments, in a way.

Okay, I don't know what happened with my wife's claim, but I was able to take England on my next generation. First time creating the Empire of Brittania, so that was excellent. Some crazy poo poo is going on in the rest of the world though.   The AI did something here. Have some mongol border gore. I thought I screenshotted the religious makeup, but I guess I didn't. All of Iberia, down into north Africa and through Tunisia is now all catholic. A giant catholic emirate took over in the early 1100's, and I have no idea how it happened.

Has anyone else had the game bug out with this? I was Emperor of Britannia, won the Kingdom of Jerusalem in a Crusade. I vassalized the Hospitallers and the Templars as Duke-level titles. Eventually, the Templars ran riot and I made the Grand Master of the Templars the King of Syria. When his vassals would die, their heirs would take over and be immediately independent. Is making the Templars/Hospitallers into kings broken?

I'm attempting a Jew run as Gideon in Abyssinia - did the whole vassalise thing, got the ultimate goal of making Israel. I lucked out and ended up with a Jewish King who I've since overthrown and now we're a happily Jewish kingdom. HOWEVER at some point we all became Samaritans. Some generations down the line I thought the "Abandon Heresy" button meant "stop being a Samartian and be a normal Jew", but it turns out that instead it's gone... the other way around? I'm a Samaritan and all my vassals are Jews which is a Samaritan heresy. I've converted a few people to what I guess is now the norm, but how big of a gently caress up was this? What issues can I expect down the line (other than vassals hating me for not being the correct Jew)? An understanding of the mechanics of heresies eludes me. Edit: I guess I misread it. The Samartian heresy became normal Jewiness, so as regular Jews we were the heretics. So I guess the question really is why don't I read the loving event boxes when they happen? But also how big of a deal is it that Samaritan has taken over? Nobody Interesting fucked around with this message at 23:18 on Jan 18, 2018 |

guns for tits posted:Is "the bastard" an honorific unique to duke William or can any bastard ruler get the title? Not at home so I can't check the files directly, but according to the wiki you can pick the title up through normal play: the Bastard posted:Age at least 10, male Bastard or Legitimized bastard. (Although that being said, I don't think I've ever seen it come up for me during normal play, and I've had plenty of bastards!)

Technowolf posted:Were any of them rulers? Oh yeah, I've had loads of legitimized bastard rulers/characters - most of them ended up with one of the more generic titles much later on in life, (you know, like "the Ill-Ruler" and "the Wise" that always used to crop up. Can't think of the other main ones right now) after decades of going without a nickname/title. Bit disappointing really, but I might just have bad luck with this kind of thing. (Hell, I think the most interesting/unique title I've had was "the Ironside", which was quite humorous as that character had just lost a Norse duel weeks prior to getting the nickname, due to his opponent shoving an axe into his side!  )

Effectively what happened is regular judaism morale authority dropped to the point that they became the heresy, like you see with Byzantium and the whole ICONOCLASM IS NOW THE REAL ORTHODOX FAITH. Raise up the original Judaism enough and it will flip back.

Yeah seriously neither of the two Jewish heresies are worth a poo poo since neither can have a religious head. Samaritan and Karaite are both completely pointless. Source: I've played a cubic rear end-ton of Jewish games and from looking at the pros/cons of the Jewish heresies as they crop up, both are objectively inferior to orthodox Judaism in CK2.

Making it so heresies lose the structure of the organized religion is dumb, but I guess they didn't want to worry about dueling popes (outside of the pope/antipope system). The nature of religion is really weird in CK2.

Raise up the original Judaism enough and it will flip back. It's not a moral authority thing - it's about how many provinces are following the faith. With something like Judaism where there are going to be very few, even flipping a couple of provinces to a heresy can cause it to become the new orthodoxy. But it should be just as easy to flip it back.

What's a good not-Italy merchant republic start? Up in the north in Scandinavia seems like it'd suffer from being stuck in no-money town (or even worse, constantly getting my coffers emptied by vikings), and my one run of Nefoud > Arabia > Republic went a little sour and I don't wanna take another shot at that.

GO gently caress YOURSELF posted:Has anyone else had the game bug out with this? It's not precisely a bug. Holy orders (and mercenary companies) are duchy level titles that follow their own special inheritance mechanics, open elective. But higher tier titles override these inheritance laws. So if the head of a holy order or mercenary company becomes king, their main title (the kingdom) will follow normal feudal succession. And their lower level titles will go along with it, as long as it's not gavelkind. At this point, the holy order will be inherited normally alongside the kingdom. The problem will usually solve itself, because members of holy orders cannot marry. Wait until you inherit Syria and the Templars, then you can give out the holy order to a duke or lower level (direct) vassal to restore everything to normal.

It's the little +/- sign down at the lower right of the screen, to the lower left of the UI widget there, innit? Currently a - sign since the log is opened, turns into a + sign when it's closed? It's been a while since I played CK2, but I think that's how it goes.

The royal family of Jordan is descended from his in-game brother, but that side of the family usually dies as your courtiers without anyone noticing. Mechanically, the duchy of Hijaz is good and in a great location for avoiding expansionist neighbors, and if you can gain direct control of most of your counties while keeping the Caliph happy and avoiding empowering the council, you can really snowball toward doing whatever you want.
