How long does it take for an immortal to rule before people start getting suspicious? Having to hold my Undying Throne against other would-be rulers, immortals, and for all I know adventurers wanting to kill the Liche Imperator sounds like a lot of fun.

In case anyone is wondering, the Seamless Robe of Jesus is absolutely worth nicking even at the risk of making the society kick you out. national tax +10%, learning +1, same religion opinion +5, prestige and piety both +0.50/month Omnicarus posted:My current game has, for three generations, ruled three counties in Italy as direct vassels of the Pope while becoming Magi in the Hermetic Order. The first in this line made a handgun artifact. Since then, the family's hobby has been destabilizing the whole Europe and Africa by poo poo talking the kings and emperors to a point that they offer to duel, then Indiana Jones'ing them right off the bat without mercy. This had led to only West Francia not being a total mess on the map, I mean random start doesn't create as much chaos as an rear end in a top hat with a pistol and euphoria potion. This is amazing, I love it.

African sister marrying with a touch of ancestor worship only I, the head of the religion, can confirm has worked out so far. They had the nerve to ask me if a guy who killed one of my previous rulers in battle should be venerated. gently caress you lowborn head of the holy order, not happening.

So that's neat, just had an unreformed pagan ruler ask for his realm to be mass-baptised into my king's reformed pagan faith - I'd assumed pagans could only mass-convert to Christianity or Islam. Also, I'm sad there's no "Skulls for the Skull Throne" achievement - my dynasty's accumulated almost a dozen trophy skulls, plus an artifact 'head of a great hero'.

I got sick of my Sweden game because my really awesome dual-bloodline sons got landed as kings of encroaching nations and I only had lovely heirs, so I started an African pagan game as the high chief of Songhay. Never played African, so I'm excited to try it out with all the HF expansion stuff. Immediately when I start I get an event where I fall in love with the beautiful wife of my vassal on my own wedding night. I slowly woo her during hunting parties and gatherings, and she falls in love with me...eventually I get the chance to save her from her cruel husband by dueling him. I kill him and take her as my concubine. Goty.

Torrannor posted:By the way, what's the requirement for "delving into the classics" to rediscover Hellenic paganism? I'm trying a shattered world start, because it's a bit of a let down to refound hellenic after you've already won the game (became Roman Emperor). I'm the doux of Hellas and have the scholarship focus, what am I missing that the decision doesn't pop up for me? 1. Have hellenism on in game rules (duh) 2. Be adult 3. Be christian 4. Not be a heretic. 5. Be Greek/Italian/Roman 6. Lunatic/Possessed/Scholar/Mystic/Scholarship focus 7. Completely control a county with a Hellenic holy site - Atheniai in Hellas should work 8. Not be a theocracy, or already secretly hellenic, or have done it already, or have Hellenic already reformed 9. Capital is either in world_europe_south_italy or world_europe_south_east, which the comment says is "Italy or Greece" cheesetriangles posted:I think Byzantium is just loving buggy. Suddenly my oldest male child I can't nominate for ruler anymore. I have no idea why. After saving the game exiting the game and reloading half an hour later he isn't able to be heir anymore. He had 600 support before I quit. He is despot so counts as born in the purple. I give up until they fix this poo poo. Strudel Man fucked around with this message at 10:56 on Nov 18, 2018 |

Heh:  Also, there's this old Norse mystic lady in my court. She's my court physician (along my other court physician - I have two) and I have no recollection of hiring her. Is this some sort of sneaky thing the game is doing to me (maybe she's a ~witch~) or did I just click something without reading it?

Oh my god. I know nobody will likely care, but I have to share this. So in my game, I started as the Italian duke of Tuscany, got independence, declared a kingdom, whatever, point is, I ended reforming the Roman empire and adopting hellenism only right then to see what the event would look like. (Had to rewind time a bit to imprison as many people as I possibly could before declaring that hellenism was the state religion now, thanks. Turns out they really don't like it.) Reformed the religion with ancestor worship. A century or so of conquest later, I invade the Abbasids and conquer to their eastern border, more or less India. Half a decade later I get a notice that some Rajput duke has been declared a blessed ancestor, which is odd as I've barely even looked at India. Turns out, the guy's entire realm is Hellenic, under a child Hellenic Rajput king who looks surprisingly western. That king's father was Maharaja Darius the Great - son of a Roman baron in the Roman Egyptian province of Aswan, he somehow made his way to Rajputana, acquired Rajput culture, and peacefully usurped the kingdom; he and his sons managed to convert virtually all of it to Hellenism in the seven years that have passed since his accession. It's not a tiny kingdom, either; it encompasses about half of de-jure Rajputana, plus most of Sindh, Punjab, Kashmir and Transoxania. Crazy.

I tried various windowed resolutions and nothing really helped, because the DPI of my monitor is so high. I do not really want to play this full screen at 800x600, which is apparently what it was designed for. FWIW, the UI Scaling option doesn't work well at small steps. I suppose if you're running it at 1.5 or 2x it looks good, but it looks blurry as poo poo at any scale you'd enjoy playing at. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1090096348 works really well though!

If you find yourself in need of ships a lot, take the former. If not, you can take the latter for the very slightly higher amount of heavy infantry they get in exchange for not providing ships.

If your current ruler has a bad personal combat skill it's best not to have him lead armies (other than pure sieges?). Even if you're winning the battle, you'll get events that force you to fight and die or become a coward, depressed and so forth. That's what killed my Isabella

Torrannor posted:You likely did. As you go from count to duke to king, your highest level title determines the inheritance of all titles. But inheritance between kingdoms and empires are always separate. That doesn't matter if both are set to primogeniture for example, but if they follow different systems, or both are some form of elective (elective, tanistry), this can cause problems. The default inheritance system for newfound empires is usually gavelkind. Unless you've already adopted late feudal administration, then I think it's the system of your main kingdom (meaning if you already have primogeniture, the empire will have that, too). Ok I get it. I just think the mechanics are incredibly stupid. Why would African pagans suddenly adopt the worst European style succession laws out of nowhere? Thanks for nothing Groogy.

I'm having a weird issue in a Mongol play through: I started out as a tributary of Mongolia and before I could declare freedom my suzerain became a vassal under a new Khan and I can not longer declare war on them to free myself. I thought the Free Tributary CB would transfer to their overlord but it does not, so I'm stuck being a tributary to a measly vassal khan and I would really not be giving them money and prestige! My only though is to use the Invasion CB on them when I have enough pop to do so, otherwise...uh... help please?
