Is there some way to dismiss all messages at once? I tend to get 10+ of them at a time, and it wears out my fingers clicking them away individually

Anyone have any advice for 769 Lithuania start besides "just play as the proper tribal in Vikings?" I don't play many basically land locked tribal starts and I have zero money. Of the amusing note, my first attempt ended pretty quick when my leader was maimed, lost an eye, maimed, and disfigured in the first subjugation war. My current attempt had a nice 14 year regency after my new wife gave me the great pox and then I got bonked on the head and was incapable and then died. I did somehow get enough cash to form the Kingdom title (likely due to the vassals I had in one of my counties that just kept dying every 6 months childless).

You can also CTRL click to dismiss all messages, shift click is for same type messages like construction complete etc. If there is a particular type of message you have no interest in showing up in the high priority message tab, you can right click it to get a bunch of options for how to handle it. You can make them low priority, or make them high priority only when they involve you and your family, that sort of thing.

I am hella PEEVED posted:Anyone have any advice for 769 Lithuania start besides "just play as the proper tribal in Vikings?" I don't play many basically land locked tribal starts and I have zero money. Definitely have your Steward collecting taxes 24/7 - it might not be a huge boost, but it'll be a boost, and sometimes you'll get a windfall. You should also try raiding as much as possible - your neighbors will be a lot poorer than the Christian and Muslim realms that Vikings can get to, but some money coming in is better than none. For the same reason, if and only if anyone nearby is weak enough, beat them up for tribute. IIRC, a Business focus should help, too. I think you can turn a profit instantly off the Trade Route by hiring bandits and letting priests come along; this has backlash later down the chain, but it shouldn't be too big a deal. You should also be able to make money from some other Business events, like minting coins and building an inn. Then invest any and all capital in towns and markets, obviously - you can build everything else with Prestige anyway, so money is mostly only going to be good to you once you need new temples (to shore up your Moral Authority) and mercenaries/retinues (to steamroll anyone blocking you from a holy site). Eventually you're likely going to want to conquer your way west, both for the holy sites and for the proximity to Christendom. Of course, that means tangling with the Slavic pagans, who'll get defensive bonuses, so you know. Dunno if any of that's helpful or if it's all no-brainer stuff, though.

You can go raiding overseas even if you're not viking, can't you? Just you don't get free boats and you can't navigate rivers (maybe? The wiki doesn't actually say who can use rivers). You also don't get the coastal conquest CB. As a defensive pagan, you get bonuses for fighting in territory of your own religion against other religions, so don't despair if you get attacked. You also don't need to panic about being at peace like Germanics do. Probably a Romuvan run will be harder after the DLC, since there's going to be mechanics to help pagans convert and ways to establish holy orders to wipe out the pagans.

Yes you can overseas raid, but with 0 Shipbuilding tech and a non-coastal capital, I have zero ships and it may be a bit before any tech spreads. I thought just Vikings got river raiding. I didn't even bother to try. I'll go hit up the lab before I open my ironman save again and confirm. War wise I'm not too worried, I can swing back at any nearby threats at the moment. It was more the economy as Tribals are slow, but there's usually someone around to raid and my neighbors as poor as gently caress. Poland has also been expansion happy to my Southwest, so I've got to find some soft targets to rack up the prestige before I go on expanding for the De Jure empire.

I'm playing an ironman game as Cornwall at the moment. I've conquered southern England and southern Wales and established the Kingdom of Cornwall from the Charlie start, and almost all the rest of Britain and Ireland has now been conquered by the tribal kingdom of Pictland. I haven't really played CK2 enough to tell if this is necessarily a terrible situation or if it's perfectly manageable. I've beaten Pictland a couple of times now, but it always feels like I'm just getting by on the skin of my teeth - both wars were just for single counties, and the first I think I got lucky with a better commander or terrain bonuses to beat the numerical disadvantage, and the second war was when Pictland had a big civil war and I stole a Welsh county off the rebel side. I've assassinated a couple of the Pictish kings, but because they have Tanistry the kingdom doesn't break apart. What's the best way forward? I'm also not really sure how many troops Pictland has, because the number in the King's info screen gives it at about 3.5k (on par with my own levies) but then in wars he's frequently fielding a big 4.5k stack.

The troop count also doesn't count calling on tribal vassals, as they may not give poo poo due to their dislike of the leader. You can also try expanding south into Brittany or Francia depending on how unified it ended up. I am hella PEEVED fucked around with this message at 20:17 on Sep 2, 2018 |

Also, if Pictland still has Gavelkind and is big enough for England to be created, then they'll split in half when the current King dies. There'll probably be a rebellion in England soon after that, since the Feudal vassals will detest their Tribal liege. Throw your weight behind it and you should find that England gets balkanised pretty quickly.

You need to be real careful attacking tribals early game, and pay attention to how likely they are to get to 500 prestige before the war ends. They're lovely light infantry, but that's all anyone gets in the early tribal wars so it's pretty powerful.

The southern territory of Britain is much more valuable than the north, so you may have enough troops to take Pictland in a fight. Otherwise, the only choices you have are to try assassinating the kind (when he has multiple heirs) to provoke a gavelkind schism or just slapping down a counselor to try to provoke a rebellion. Also consider...not attacking? While "natural borders" and the boundaries of de jure empires may compel you northwards you don't need to follow the path that the game has laid out for you. Try some continental conquest, that's real valuable territory! Make peace with the picts, befriend them. Marry into their royal family. Get a legitimate claim to the pictish throne. Take it all at once instead of bit by bit.

pidan posted:The cross represents Jesus's sufferings more than his death, so it would probably be the crown of thorns or a whip or something. There's a certain description of crucifixion that has always stuck with me, from the story "The Wandering Christian". Basically, Crucifixion is the worst of the worst ways to die. It's why they did it.

DISCO KING posted:Quote? From wikipedia: quote:The length of time required to reach death could range from hours to days depending on method, the victim's health, and the environment. A literature review by Maslen and Mitchell[45] identified scholarly support for several possible causes of death: cardiac rupture,[46] heart failure,[47] hypovolemic shock,[48] acidosis,[49] asphyxia,[50] arrhythmia,[51] and pulmonary embolism.[52] Death could result from any combination of those factors or from other causes, including sepsis following infection due to the wounds caused by the nails or by the scourging that often preceded crucifixion, eventual dehydration, or animal predation.[53][54] TL;DR: It took a long time for the condemned to die, they were held in place by nails in their arms, which caused increasing pain and infection, and may have had difficulty breathing.

As you like. It's kinda long.The Wandering Christian, on crucifixion posted:I know, my friends, that we live in a barbaric age in which the days of the great Roman Empire are sometimes looked on fondly, but the way they killed Christos was atrocious. Believe me, Absalom, an arrow in the lungs is a luxurious hot bath next to crucifixion. The story itself is interesting. The base premise is 'what if/how did Judaism became the dominant religion in the world'. The text is on the net for free. http://www.angelfire.com/ak2/newmanbyrne/wandering_christian.html I first saw it a collection of alt-history stories I bought some years back.

Technowolf posted:From wikipedia: There was a guy who wanted to test the breathing thing, actually. He didn't literally nail himself there but he did let himself be tied to a cross. If you let yourself slink down or go lax in any way breathing apparently became way more difficult. So you'd be trying to hold yourself up so you could breathe properly but that in and of itself was exhausting in that your range of motion was severely limited. Of course you couldn't hold yourself up properly forever and fatigue would set in; meanwhile the movement would agitate the wounds from the nails as well as, well...let's just say they probably didn't exactly sand and polish the wood you were nailed to so it was probably rough and splitery. So yeah, crucifixion would have been an unimaginably terrible way to die. It's like somebody, a couple thousand years ago, sat down and decided to figure out the absolute worst thing you could do to somebody then decided "no, not bad enough." Eventually they kept going until they came to crucifixion.

Crucifixion was also viewed as a deeply humiliating and shameful way to die. There's graffiti from the early days of Christianity written by Romans basically making GBS threads on them for worshiping a God who died like a loser.

It also really handily displays the dead body for all to see, during and after death. People have tried various horrifyingly brutal executions, but ever since they mostly abandoned crucifixion because of the religious connotations, they just have cages.

Well my Hapsburg game has been widely successful so far. It’s now been about a hundred years and after slowly expanding my realm across Central Europe I was elected HRE. I’ve bow been spending years trying to get all of my vassals best and orderly and aim to gradually centralize the whole thing which is fine. But how do I deal with the massive international defensive pacts all arrayed against me? I haven’t yet declared an outside war for near two decades because of it.

It's been tough, I had to swear to the Abbasids a couple of times and half the realm has converted to heresies, but I finally have managed to capture a second holy site. Should have taken a screen shot of India, the northern half is ruled by a massive empire.

If you have M&M, set your chancellor to reduce threat. When you get the chance, declare multiple wars at once. You can only get 50% threat per war and 100% max, so if you're going to have to wait out your pacts, you might as well go big. Alternately, get big enough to just ignore the pact altogether. The pact members generally take a while to get organized at the start of a war, so if you can blitz the war goal fast enough then you can end it before the pact even matters.

With the random religions, I wonder if they are getting rid of the need to always have the Pope around. If they create a dedicated event country (instead of the existing k_papal_state), it would open up the potential possibility of playing as a theocracy. Stellaris created a dedicated event country, so maybe CK2 will also get that.

I forget if I read this here or the PDX forums or maybe reddit, but all the random religions are still Catholic, Sunni, Germanic etc under the hood, just almost all of the surface features are new. So the character of the Pope might be unrecognizable in-game, but he'll still exist in the files so the Mongols or whatever still show up as intended. Incidentally, how do complete overhaul mods pull this off? Like, in Game of Thrones, are those events keyed off of the High Septon or something? ninjahedgehog fucked around with this message at 19:29 on Sep 3, 2018 |

I had my heir educated as a Magyar and intentionally gave my old doge depression so I could kill him and form the kingdom (most serene republic  ) of Hungary. I gave the entire kingdom of Germany to one of my dukes, but I'm still riding an unstoppable wave of money. I guess I'll need it to kick the caliph out of the rest of Hungary and finally get my empire title. Will I still have to be a Magyar for the empire, or can I switch back to Italian?

What's the best way to kill, disinherit, or otherwise rid yourself of your vassals' vassals? I've consolidated Francia in my Merovingian game and my next project is to remove every single Karling from power everywhere in the world, and then wipe out the dynasty completely. Only problem is, a bunch of them are counts or dukes under my vassal kings.
