Volkerball posted:Can somebody more mod smart than me point me towards what exactly I would need to change to get Nubian culture characters to wear Byzantine or Arab clothing? The feathery crowns and whatnot aren't really meshing well with the game I've got going on. I've looked all over the workshop but it looks like Nubian culture has nothing going on. That's because Nubians got their own portrait pack a while ago. That said, if you want to mod it yourself, take a look at the custom ethnicities section here. Make a new african_portraits.gfx (or whatever the African portraits file is), copy over the file, and then go through and replace "african" in each clothing and headgear line with the "byzantine" or "muslim". Keep in mind that there are six PortraitTypes to change (male/female each with young/middle/old age), and each type has front and back clothing and headgear. Once you get the hang of it it's not hard, but the official portrait pack is so good and only $2.50 so I'd definitely recommend that.

There's definitely something weird going on in shattered world title creations because I now border the kingdom of Anatolia, which only holds 2 counties. Is the AI allowed to ignore the 50%+1 counties controlled requirement in shattered world?

That looks easy enough, but where can I find the african portraits .gfx file? I see a reference to africangfx in the graphical culture type file, and in 00_cultures, but there's nothing in interface or interface>portraits, although I can see the byzantine and muslim files there. edit: it was in a dlc file.

Yea after a few months it ticked up to 100% so I was able to take back my lands. Somehow the earl who had that territory died without an heir and this count in Poland got the land. Ugh I've given money to the crusade, its too hard to get troops to man land Europe, also the Muslims are fielding 20k armies, I'm not going to be able to do anything with my in total 8k guys.

I only have transport for about 1300 at a time. So to reduce my demanse down, I was defying the council to give titles to unlanded courtiers, which lead to my Marshall force all of the other nobles to rise up against the tyranny of me...lessening my tyranny. Then my current king died of a cold and they gave up the rebellion. Then I tried to imprison the former Marshall, who caused a smaller rebellion, to which my new king promptly lost by being bitten by a snake in his boot. So now I have a king that's married to the daughter of a Norse adventurer because I figured my second son would never inherit the throne. I still can't find a "press all claims" option.

twistedmentat posted:It's more moving my troops from Ireland to mainland europe. I only have transport for about 1300 at a time. It's because you don't have multiple claims on those lands. I'm 99% sure you're using the de jure claim as king of Ireland on those counties. But this type of claim can only be pressed one county at a time. You would need to have several personal claims, those are the strong or weak claims you inherit from your parents, or the claims you forge through the "forge claim" action of your chancellor. You've reached the point where the game gets more difficult as far as expansion is concerned. Expanding into fellow Christian lands is comparatively hard. Muslims, pagans or members of the three Indian religions have a much easier time. You're lucky that you're the king of Ireland, to be able to conquer those territories at all. It only gets more difficult to conquer Scotland or Wales. If you don't want to rely on the "forge claim" action, which can take decades to fire for even on county (or can fire within a year, you're at the mercy of the RNG), you need to play the marriage game to inherit claims, or ask the pope for claims on whole duchies. Consolidate Ireland, convert to feudalism, then look around who's got a daughter that your character or his heir can marry, to inherit claims for your son/grandson. You should also never assume that your firstborn will survive. The saying "an heir and a spare" recently came up again in the British press regarding Prince William and Katherine, it's even more important in the medieval nobility simulator.

Man getting the Kingdom of Jerusalem for the first successful crusade to take it really makes CK2 into hard mode again. Mostly, to be fair, because I'm dumb and bad and it took me a king and a half to realize that Jerusalem is within diplomatic range of China, so if you're willing to give up the Holy Grail that you got during the Crusade, you can dismantle the Abbasids (or whomever) pretty much right away

Deceitful Penguin posted:Which one is that one? Sometimes while playing Norse and your wife is pregnant, you can get a Harvest Festival event that gives you the choice of either letting the event proceed as normal, pay a small amount to praise your wife at the festival, or pay a large amount to dedicate the festival to your wife. The second and third choice just gives a small relation bonus, so it never really felt worth it to pick the most expensive one, but it seems the third one has a chance of triggering this event a few years after the kid is born.

I love this loving game. I'm playing a Vandad Karen run and I've conquered most of Iran. Around 900 or so, the Seljuk invasion begins. He spawns with 20k troops in Abbasid territory and declares an invasion on me. My maximum army size is about 10k without mercs, and I've just defeated an Abbasid invasion and conquered a duchy from Rajputana (while defeating their Pratihara allies with 15k troops). My vassals are pissed from having levies raised so long and my treasury is almost empty because I immediately spent the 1200 gold I got from the Abbasids on buildings. So, I try the following: 1. Assassinating Seljuk. I spend gold on enough bribes to get plot power to about 130%. Event never fires. 2. Gaining allies. I marry off two kids to nearby realms and spent more gold on improving relations enough to Form Alliances. I'm able to get one ally with about 3k troops by the time Seljuk arrives. He finally arrives with his armies, split into 3 stacks of about 7k. I attack the first one and defeat it, but it links up with another and I'm now facing 14k troops against my stack of 11k. Over the next few weeks I abuse my generals (who have been trained by a Chinese strategist and thus have 30% movement, allowing me to avoid Seljuk's armies) and dance around, waiting for attrition or seige events to weaken Seljuk's army enough for me to gain an edge. I figure I'm doomed if I face an army of equal numbers. After a few weeks of this, while desperately waiting for the assassination event to trigger and for my allies to arrive, I notice a stack of 3k Seljuk troops split from the main army. I also notice a little crown icon next to the stack. It seems Seljuk himself wanted to seige down my Silk Road trade post. I pounce on this small army, defeat it handily and capture Seljuk. I then sacrifice him to Ahriman because my Shah is a Satanist. Seljuk's armies scatter to the winds and the realm is at peace once again. Owned bitch. On a related note, the Lock Movement feature actually makes the game easier for me. I just wait for an enemy stack to get locked in its path and move a larger army to its destination. The enemy will arrive first (and take advantage of any defensive terrain bonuses) but it's worth it to guarantee a fight you know you'll win. CommissarMega posted:Got bored of playing the Son of The Void, now I want to try my hand at a Nomadic game, set in a Shattered World where everyone's a nomad at the start. Any idea of what I could expect? It's my first time playing a nomad, please don't bully. Nomads are fun but very different from Feudal/Tribal. - Always have as large of a Horde as possible. - When you first start out, immediately try to absorb neighboring Nomad provinces. They will likely have the same amount of troops as you do, so wait until their stack is reduced by some other conflict before engaging. - I tried a Nomad Shattered World game when HF first dropped. If you don't border any Feudal provinces, raiding will be far less useful because Nomad/Tribal provinces are poor. However, it can be useful to raid because you can still capture people and ransom or sacrifice them to improve your Warrior Lodge standing. - Always be in a Warrior Lodge if you're pagan. - If you're in a Lodge and you have good personal combat stats, Antagonize any enemy character who's a threat to you. If you antagonize long enough they will challenge you to a duel which you should win. You will then have the option to execute them. - General Nomad advice: focus on building (in your capital province only) things that increase your maximum Population, pop growth and your cavalry unit stats. Your capital should always be the province with the most empty holdings. You can move capitals periodically. It's useful to have one on a coastal province because you get buildings that further increase your Pop. - Most of the time, when you conquer new provinces you won't be able to keep many of them because your vassal Clans will demand more territory. It's still worth it to expand even if you're giving most of your conquests away because it makes your vassals stronger and they'll almost always join your wars anyway. - Form a Blood Bond with the 2nd strongest clan in your realm. This will prevent them from warring you (although it dissolves on ruler death, so if you die and they declare independence there's nothing you can do to prevent it). - Once you reach 30k maximum population, you get access to Invasion CBs. You then need to reach 75% of your max population in order to use the CB. I *think* the Invasion CB allows you to claim every occupied holding in the realm you're invading whenever you press your demands for peace, so if you can claim the entire Kingdom in one go you should do so. - If you want to eventually go Feudal, it's easier to settle first as Tribal then reform to Feudalism. - Nomad Succession is tricky. Generally you will be able to retain control of the Clan when your ruler dies because it passes to the "strongest" male relative (by strongest it means the character with the most Prestige.) To boost prestige in a certain character, be sure to give them honorary titles and/or artifacts that give Prestige. However, children cannot lead the horde and control will pass to another clan if you only have child heirs. You'll then be a vassal clan under a new Khagun, retaining your territory but losing the top title. It can be difficult to regain control of the top level outside of overthrowing the Khagun, but failure will result in your ruler being executed. So, if you only have child heirs be careful about dueling or leading armies because injuries will shorten your lifespan.

pidan posted:Does "political concerns" mean they don't want a non aggro pact with me because they may want to attack some day, or are there more factors going into that? Traits play a role in assessing a bride's worth, so being attractive gives your daughter a few more pluses in that category. Also, political concerns can also be the AI being savy. They are reluctant to marry their daughter to your oldest son and heir, if you are bordering them and at least close to equal in their power. For the same reason why you want to marry them. Because they fear that your grandson will press his claims on their realm. So it's usually easier to search for more distant relatives that still give you an inheritable claim. But not wanting a non-aggression pact because they plan to attack you in the future is also a possibility.

twistedmentat posted:Ah I figured it was like that. So get that councilor out there hustling. You have to have more pluses than minuses, and it'll tell you on the marriage proposal screen if you hover over it. Opinion is only one factor. Often the AI will want a matrilineal marriage for its daughters or just have higher concerns for its sons. Often you have to settle for just getting a claim and pressing it later rather than inheriting directly. One trick is finding unmarried heirs, invite them to your court, and then they HAVE to accept any marriage offers. It takes a lot of poking around to find them though. What's really annoying is that it's incredibly hard to spread your dynasty beyond than your borders. I'm not sure I've ever installed a claimant on a foreign throne and had it stick. I think newly-installed claimants just get one county, and then the Idiots won't call me in to help against rebels despite the alliance I give them.

I loaded an older game and took a look. 2 of my sons (oldest and youngest) took to Orthodox after joining the Varangian guard. They won't convert back. My middle son is set to inherit, and is still Germanic. He has a Cathar lover and after some testing seems to like switching to Cathar. At this point I lose my dynastic succession. Oh well; I murdered her and resurrected my game. Maybe being the wrong religion disinherits people? That seems new. It also disinherits their children, because I have a handful of Germanic grandsons through my sons and matrilinearly married daughters. Once my sons convert over my heir becomes a non dynastic cousin.

Yeah “political concerns” is annoyingly vague but it generally means “this would benefit you a lot more than it would benefit me”. twistedmentat posted:It's more moving my troops from Ireland to mainland europe. I only have transport for about 1300 at a time. “Press all claims” only shows up if you have multiple STRONG claims against a single target, which is fairly rare outside of specific circumstances. The thing to bear in mind is that pressing one claim at a time isn’t a big deal because truces are between people, not realms. Meaning if you press a claim against England and the the king suffers an unfortunate accident immediately after the war ends, the truce is nullified and you’re free to press another claim with no penalty. As for the giving away titles thing, you can usually get away with being one or two over your demense limit without significant penalty (basically at that level the penalties and benefits from the extra land tend to exactly cancel out) and at three or more the council will be a lot more permissive about letting you give titles away to anyone. If you’re trying to give away titles anyway and the council is giving you trouble, remember that you can just fire everyone and stock the council with loyalists to get whatever you need done. You can re-hire them after a short delay so they usually won’t have enough time to organize a large rebellion before you can put them back in the council and force them out of any factions they’d joined/started.
