Oh, no, I was just pointing out that you don't need a regency or female ruler to use a strong claim. In this circumstance I think you actually don't want your wife to become Basilissa because if she has another son who is born in the purple then your first son won't inherit the empire.

Perhaps it'd be easier to just get a new wife? Alternatively why does it matter if she is excommunicated?

Maybe if you kick the pope out of Italy, he'll cool off. Or rather, the next Pope will cool off.

It's a weird bug, I think. Every month or two he declares this war, then right as he does it ends inconclusively when the cb becomes invalid. A month or two later, he does it again. I'm a child so I can do nothing but click "I refuse to be blackmailed" every time and then nobody ever raises an army. It's been driving me crazy, though.

Not sure that's gonna go away, and as I can attest from the game where I had new caravans/eunuchs showing up in my court every two months, getting the same event over and over again gets old pretty quick.

If it doesn't stop once all those in the faction are dead (which I plan to see to as soon as I am of age), I'll do that.

There is a sale and the op hasn't been updated since 2015, but all the DLC I don't have yet has come out since 2015.  With some expansions you get some of the stuff just because, and other stuff only if you buy the expansions. But which expansions to buy?Horse Lords: Silk road, tributaries, nomads Concave: Dukes become bigger assholes, education changes, diplomacy changes The Reaper's Due: Disease and . . . pets? Monks and Mystics: Societies and artifacts Jade Dragon: More silk road, dealing with distant china. Most expensive since it's new, probably won't get this one yet. If you were only going to get one or two of these, which would you say adds the most content to most games?

Conclave is really fun and makes internal politics meaningful. It's usually no longer just "appoint the highest stat guy as advisor" - you have to weigh who can do the job vs. who you piss off by not appointing them, and how they will vote on the council.

Quoting my old post back on page 482 with my DLC recommendations. The sale price total might not be right since I can't really check it on my phone, but the recommendations of Way of Life, Conclave, Reaper's Due, and Old Gods still stand. I am hella PEEVED posted:

Is Ireland 1066 still considered tutorial island? My friend just got this game and wanted me to help getting him started. I played ck2 a lot a couple of years ago but I haven't touched it since conclave so I'm not really up to date. Are the Dlc after conclave worth getting?

The Aztecs came to our shores with numbers, chocolate, and syphilis. They steamrolled Britannia, and it was only through quick thinking that Conmacc the Pious spared his realm the horrors that were visited on others. Ingratiating himself with Huetlotoani Tzompantzin, he and his sons were granted land and titles beyond their wildest dreams, mostly due to being the only king-level vassal and capable of accepting vassal dukes. Finally, the grindstone of Europe and a defensive pact involving every single power west of the Black Sea wore down the mighty Aztec war machine, and when they lost an independence revolt, King Glaschu saw his chance. First, a few well-placed holy wars took the last Christian realms in England before the empire could regain them. Then, after plotting to overthrow the emperor for a few years with no success (It never let me fire the ultimatum, regardless of how many men I had or how many other dukes I blackmailed into joining my faction.), he simply decided "gently caress it," and declared independence. The battles were long and hard, and reports were rolling in of Aztecs in Irish Sicily taking the undefended castles and towns. But with proper focus and more than a few mercenary companies, sieges of English territories won us the war. Ten years later, and King Glaschu had saved up enough money to hire even more mercenaries and declare his true goal: Subjugation of the entire empire. All hail Glaschu Ua Neill, first of his name, the Sword of Quetzalcoatl, Emperor of Alba and Lands Beyond.  Andalusia is also England, first taken in a crusade by King Dubhglais Ua Neill the Hammer, but his son King Dubhglais II Son of Satan became Bedouin, so they're sultanates now. Also note that light blue bit to the east. Temujin showed up and immediately rolled Tibet in a carpet. I'm not sure whether to give away all my non-Britannia property and pop some corn, or try and consolidate into a real major power. Dareon fucked around with this message at 01:33 on Feb 19, 2018 |

Got a weird bug in the latest (?) version of After the End. Even if my army is bigger than the besieged territory (like twice as big), it keeps saying it can't besiege it until it is larger than the enemy garrison. I can besiege and occupy other provinces, just not the one I am fighting a war for. Doesn't seem to affect the AI though. Any ideas?

Hey, I haven't played in like a year or something, but I got the bug again since my dad's watching Schama's History of Britain and I see it's on sale. I don't have Jade Dragon, Conclave, Monks and Mystics, and Reapers Due. I stopped playing because it had gotten a little too focused on personal roleplaying over politics, and I didn't really like the sound of the changes to war. Has the game gotten better, and which DLCs are worth getting?

Well, I'm not sure if you think its too focused on personal roleplaying, but for Politics, the Conclave expansion makes your council more complicated. Strong vassals will expect a seat on your council but will also abuse that seat to try to increase their own power (usually at your expense) via law changes, so you're usually stuck trying to strike a balance of filling your council with A) People actually good at the job B) Influential Vassals C) Loyal Yes Men who'll vote the way you want.

So I've been playing this game since I bought it, and I've bought all the DLC already, but I'm not sure what DLC are worth buying. Is conclave good? Do you think I would like way of life? Which is better, horse lords or Rome??? Tia~

To break away from the same question being asked 4 times on one page: My mother was deposed as Queen of Italy and I just recently came of age. I'd like to take back my birthright, but almost nobody is joining my faction to install myself as King. I can't seem to find any options to blackmail or bribe others into joining my faction either. What's the deal?

Slightly different question: I said screw it and plopped down the $80 for the full package since it was on sale. But since I have never touched any of these games before, is it best to just start with the base game and add expansions once I'm familiar with it? I Had fun last night with everything turned on but had no clue what the hell I was actually doing.

You're probably not really going to understand anything for a while even with none of it turned on, so might as well go nuts and have all of the content from the get-go.

Yeah, pretty much this. All turning stuff off would mean is having to relearn parts of the game after you click them on, so just pick someone in 1066 Ireland or deep in the HRE, tell the Aztecs not to show up, and bumble around for a while.

Playing merchant republics is more fun than I thought it would be, but playing as Venice is awful. Whenever I'm at war with someone they completely ignore my attacking army and instead sail straight to Venice. Then I can't fight them without making an amphibious landing and if I lose my entire army vanishes.

So, uh, don't play as someone holding a viceroyalty title on iron man I guess. Playing as the Duke of Trebizond I had a grandson of my dynasty who was Duke of Adrianopolis that was set to inherit my counties in Trebizond plus like 4 more sons from later wives in my court and it was game over when I died, I guess due to some technicality involving my highest title going to the emperor and the rest not going to a son?

I'm playing a game as Ragnar Lodbrok (earliest start) and I have 4 kingdom crowns at the moment (sweden, norway, denmark and frisia). What happens if I want to become a merchant republic. Do I keep all 4 kingdoms? If I only keep one, which one should I keep? I'm working my way up the tribal control laws... my understanding is I have to get to Absolute before I can become a republic?
