Crazy Joe Wilson posted:I will vouch for the fan fork developers, they seem to be aware of not adding in just lots of stupid things for the sake of variety, and telling people in their thread to pipe down when they ask for the umpteenth for Celtic or Islam religions or 500 new cultures. I was worried at first about this happening, but so far it seems they are just trying to incorporate all of the new DLC content that hadn't been added when the original team retired. It's still baffling that the Mormons literally have nothing other than Polygamy. Why do they even exist lol

Both times I got immortally, I was killed highlander style less then a year in the immortally. Second time I literally got the warning event like a week after I gained immortally.

I changed up from trying to get as powerful as possible to more restricted runs and I'm really digging it. Right now I'm playing where I can own Sardinia and Corsica but nothing outside of that and I'm working on putting my dynasty on as many thrones as possible.

So, I'm trying out Game of Thrones mod for the first time. Rob married Jeyne, conquered Lanisport in quick order. I used my smaller (6k) army to smash any Ironborn units that landed (in groups of 1k). Rob declares war on the walkers. The wall falls. Rob's spymaster does something I dont remember to piss me off, so I form a faction to fake his treason. Rob dies at 21. His 4 year old son is named king. Spymaster gets wind of what I'm up to, so I rush an assassination attempt. I get found out, and labeled a cold hearted bastard. Council names me Regent, and I fire the spymaster  So now I'm Regent Bolton of the independent north. What can I do with this? edit: Well, I declared the 5 yr old King incapable and hes under house arrest, Ive kidnapped him and put him in my dungeons, took all his minor titles and gave some to my son, hes my ward, and I'm trying to marry him matrilineally to one of my granddaughters. So. Clearly, a lot

 I know this is typical for pre-1066 starts, but I still wish the AI was better at unifying Britain and Ireland. They've had over 200 years since game start. Maybe I'll conquer it all myself just to clean it up.

I have seen the AI get around to it eventually, but yeah they are often very slow at it. This applies to most unification projects though. Even when the Charlemagne start hands AI Karl the HRE on a silver platter it still very often fails to form it before he croaks splits up the Francias forever.

A while ago, i did an ireland start. Normal unification of ireland, taking scotland, then england, wales, as per usual. After a while i started intriguing and marrying to various noble houses. Cut to 200 years later, i'm emperor of britannia, i'm married to the queen of spain whose husband had strange, definitely non-stabbing related accidents. My child will inherit both britannia and spain, and will rule. It takes a while, eventually the queen gets pregnant. At this point, the king of france croaks, and his titles, for some ungodly reason, fall to my wife. The aforementioned son will inherit britannia, spain AND france. I'm gloating ad nauseam. So my wife gets pregnant, and so, this future magnificent god-king is about to be born. How should i call him ? Well clearly what everyone would do, is give him my own name so i can  at seeing my name on a map. He is born, so it is time for my wife to leave us. I kill her, he inherits, and is now king of spain. I go back to my affairs in Dublin to try and build for a stable realm with happy vassals to prepare the transition. 15 years later, i die, and it happens. I am king of everything. And then i notice half the realm is in revolt. "King Neltharak the mad". Okay, i guess i'm a lunatic now, those are always fun. Then i take a look at my character. "Lunatic, Possessed, Slothful, Craven, Homosexual". I got loving pwnd by crusader kings.

The one time being in a monastic order really helps us when you’re trying to raise a god-king. You can instill a positive virtue in 1-day old baby (through osmosis, I guess), do it again when they turn 10, and once more when they turn twenty. You can also remove negative traits, though only once they come of age.

Has anyone ever gotten a good trait from mystic healing? I've gotten stuff like cruel and paranoid, which I think is pretty funny, but I wonder if you had a mystic with like 20+ learning if you could get shrewd or something like that. Another funny thing I had happen I hadn't seen before was I had a ruler who already was missing an eye from battle whose son decided to throw a rock at him when he wasn't looking. He tried to catch it and it knocked out his other eye. There was even a special message for it that said something like "ARGHH MY OTHER EYE! Why do you hate me God?!"

Maybe I'm wrong but it seems like the people with the mystic trait usually have lower learning than the actual renowned physicians when you search for a random one. It could be you're meant to build them up though those events you get with the trade off being worse results upon hiring but better in the end? There really isn't much info about that type of healing even on the wiki. I had one game where I was my liege's physician and got the renowned physician trait. Too bad you can't be your own physician because that's a good one.

I understand it as an alternative to experimental treatments, instead of losing some organ, you are risking bad trait or that the physician commits suicide. I could probably look into files and see what are the conditions, but I uninstalled the game recently.

My experience is that every time I play anyone east of France the Mongol Horde seems to beeline towards me. I know it is probably just a conscience, but come on! Last time the Horde basically ignored everything in South, and went Rus-Lithuania-Poland-Bohemia (my core). I was playing the long con on making a kingdom of Bohemia, trying to make the Wendish empire a thing while lip-serving the HRE. I did join all of the relevant defense pacts but still the doomstack of 80k hosed every army anyone bothered to send to help me. Also the game decided that the great plague is a great event to play after the Mongols have conquered everything.

In After the End, has anyone had any luck making the Kingdom of Chicagoland (Northern Illinois, South Wisconsin, West Indiana)? Starting as the ruler of Chicago seems like suicide due to the Rust Worshipers in Michigan bobbing immediately. I've also tried Queen Amanda of middle Illinois but it's tough to make headway as her.

Honestly, the real reason you join in a crusade is you want to put down the islamablob, making it safer to pilgrimage, expanding the pool of good catholic rulers, and providing easier middle eastern targets than the massive empires the muslims have. I've never really been in the position where I'd actually want to abandon whatever lands I was building up for a stint in Jerusalem. Really what the crusade system needs is some way for rando nobles to join as adventurers, possibly grab their own little counties or duchies out of the deal. Maybe let crusaders raid and steal wealth as well, or throw some peasant mobs into the mix.

The way the Fan Fork's added Judaism is all right enough, but it also highlights how tricky it is to balance having a small and scattered group that isn't either immediately overwhelmed or excessively overbuffed to compensate for all that. yeah the implementation of judaism in the current fan fork 2.0 makes it even easier to snowball as gotham, because you can holy war and revoke titles from jews without real consequence

This rules and would be a perfect swan song for the game. Hopefully the DLC will have some cool poo poo like maybe a player playable Pope but I could see how that would kill the whole dynasty thing.
