Is there a strategy or trick to defeating the Western Protectorate? I'm attempting a White Hun campaign, and the Western Protectorate has nabbed a province of Khotan, which I will need to take back. Twice now I've tried to declare war, and they drop a 100k doom-stack in Bengal and march up to the Western Protectorate - not suffering any attrition, of course. I have about 100k troops under my vassals, around 15k of my own, and a 15k retinue of Shock and Elephants. All so much paper in the face of the 1k supply in Tibet in winter. I would really rather not restart the campaign when all I need is one province and 2 centuries to do it.

How does Gavelkind work? This is an embarassing question to ask for someone with almost a thousand hours in game, but I usually start games in the 1066 era where I manage to change my inheritance law if my character starts with it. I'm emperor of Hispania and the Duke of Algrave is the only living son of the Duchess of Aquatine, Gascgone, and Potiou. He was in line to inherit 40% of France. He has had kids though and now is oldest son is line to inherit it all. Why? Is it possible that France has made foreign inheritance transfer illegal and that's why it skips the landed father? Also, why aren't the duchies split between his two sons instead of all going to the oldest one?

Moreau posted:Is there a strategy or trick to defeating the Western Protectorate? Seems like you need to fight them in your own territory. When I've fought China before they will eventually split up their doomstack to siege multiple provinces; clean them up when they do that. Charlz Guybon posted:How does Gavelkind work? This is an embarassing question to ask for someone with almost a thousand hours in game, but I usually start games in the 1066 era where I manage to change my inheritance law if my character starts with it. If your duke isn't disqualified from inheritance for some reason like being a eunuch then yeah they might have outlawed external inheritance. You can check by looking at the de jure kingdoms map mode and hovering over Aquitaine. I think the reason the titles aren't splitting is because they're not being inherited by a direct relative and are skipping over a generation but I'm not sure.

Charlz Guybon posted:... does Gavelkind work? ... Your oldest gets your highest title. if you have multiple equal titles, each heir gets one. If you hold lands enough to make a new de jour king title, it makes one, and gives it to 2nd heir, on down till you run out of land. Vikings run into this when you say, form Kingdom of Sweden, and vassalise all of Denmark with subjugation and the rest of the independent counts of Norway by just asking for vassalage once your border touches theirs. You got three kids. it gives your heir Sweden. Then your second gets Norway. Third Denmark. Then on to Duke titles. it will try and favor Duke titles in the kingdom they got, but that wont stop it from say giving Austergotland to the son who inherited Denmark if your old king was a grand duke with Sweden and Austergotland. Inheritance will also rip a county away from someone in the new kingdoms, giving it to the new king, if no land is set to inherate from personal holdings of the dead king. It makes kingdoms fly apart. Until you think you can push to an empire, the msot you want to personally hold is 49% of other kingdoms outside your first de jour kingdom. A good thing is any of your brothers will leave you strong claims on their poo poo. A quick unification war or three fixes border gore. edit: Not really the question asked. He likely has foreign inheritance outlawed. The land stays in France, so it goes to the next in line, being his son. the Second Son is not in line to inherate by Gavelkin, at least by how it understand it. Being that there is only the one heir, and he is disqualified, it goes to primogeniture for the next in line, being his oldest son. winterwerefox fucked around with this message at 09:18 on Aug 11, 2018 |

If he didnt have a son, it would try and find someone else of his dynasty and give it all to the most qualified. It would not try and find more to split the titles around. Some no land cousin might suddenly own 40% of France, but cousin's younger brother gets nothing.

I think Moreau is talking about regular attrition from low supply. Supply in Tibetan counties during winter isn't a problem early on but when you start having 10/15k armies... Yeah.

Azhais posted:Is this the same problem I had and the answer to your attrition problems is as simple as spending 19 gold on a fort? I'll have to check that out. Money is certainly not an object, but a bad winter can drop supply to 1 in Tibet, and when you have an attritionless 160k stack marching at speed through those lands... its a little aggravating. They manage to siege all the provinces they need for 100% before I can even start moving north again. Not the best mechanic, Paradox.

Get Sons of Abraham, Way of Life, Conclave, and Reapers Due. Game is much deeper and better. Want to play on the eastern end of the map, also get Rajas of India, Horse Lords and Jade Dragon. Want to play edge lord secret societies, get Monks and Mystics.

Didn't they say that they were going to rework gavelkind with the update? I remember something about the ability to challenge your sibling to a fight to the death for their inheritance. Another reason to wait for the patch. I wonder if Nestorians and Miaphysites will get some kind of boost. They're the most boring religions in the game right now.

Go stabbing in his blood line until your landed vassal is the only one set to inherit and find out? or you could land his kids with a barony and see what it does to inheritance. If France has outlawed external inheritance, giving the kid a barony should disqualify him for everything.

Chiming in late to say that the Africa changes look great; they're one of the places I occasionally try when not doing Zoroastrian stuff or whatever, but they really didn't have much there. Speaking of Zoroastrians, do we know any cool things that they're getting in Holy Fury, if anything? Directly or indirectly. Roland Jones fucked around with this message at 23:45 on Aug 11, 2018 |

Ok, getting back into a game and did an ireland run. I have empired' and control Ireland, Scotland, Whales, and Brittiania by a sudden unplanned inheritance. Primogenture etc. It seems like no matter who stab I cant seem to pass Scotland on to my firstborne. So every succession I have to go to war and get Scotland back. Now it shows my secondborn son as the inheritor of Scotland. Why would my secondborn get it over my firstborn? What am I missing here. 3 times now I have had to war Scotland and inherit a bunch of assholes vassals who hate me

If you create a kingdom or empire title it will inherit the succession and crown laws of your primary title but if you usurp or inherit the title it will keep the laws it had. Unrelated, but I was playing Venice and I won a crusade while I was just a patrician which made me feudal. Is there any way for me to become a merchant republic again?

You build silk road trade posts just like you would build a city or castle right? I know only some provinces can do it, but I have a large stretch of the road and apparently none of them can.

If you have a county on the silk road but not at one of the nodes, it just benefits from a small tax income modifier.

I just noticed that there's a bug with Muslim devil-worshippers. When you get the mission to sacrifice a holy person, it tells you that you should sacrifice an "imam or an ascetic" to complete the mission, but it doesn't work. I must have kidnapped and sacrificed 5 different people including my own court imam and some mosque holders and nothing worked. Turns out it only works if you sacrifice a non-Muslim. If you imprison an imam, he stops being an imam all of a sudden and then it doesn't count toward the mission. So I wasted loads of my dark magic points on that bullshit until I killed some Catholic bishop. I looked that up and it seems to be an old bug since I found old posts from 2017 about it. I hope they fix that in the new DLC.

Gerbert "the Good" of Gelre took me carousing so many times that I could reliable cure stressed/depressed with him, but now he's dead, and I took that option that makes me his heir's godfather. I was excited to take care of a child as a story arc, but it turns out I just asked a 20-yo Attractive Gay Duke if I could be his real dad. He said no, and this is my response I guess?

Just as an 'update' on China, I waited until there was unrest in China, and the Western Protectorate was engaged in a war to my south. When I declared, the Chinese doomstack appeared in Bengal as always, but this time it moved West towards the war that the Western Protectorate was engaged in. So I was able to battle them across the fertile lands of Orissa, and fared pretty well without the attrition of Tibet. Moving towards Jianqing, I started sieging the single province I needed, and managed to make it to 80% warscore... when the Mongols appeared. The Western Protectorate had eaten up everything north of the Empire of Tibet, so the Mongols appeared in their lands, and essentially started assisting me in defeating the Chinese. Sadly, another Chinese doomstack appeared, kicked the crap out of the Mongols and then turned on me. At this point, I probably could have started closing the game via the task bar to replay the period over and over until I get it right, but... eh. I'll just start over and focus on getting Khotan quickly. I wonder if the achievement can be made if I switch the Jade Dragon DLC off?

Is there not an alert for when you have succession laws that might lose you stuff? I mean, I usually ignore it because it seems to give a lot of false positives, but if you're somehow ignorant of what you succession laws are...
