Is there a way to send forces to China to help the ruling dynasty? My Zoroastrian game is at a lull due to an annoying period of calm and the emperor, my bro, is in the middle of a civil war. Be nice to send my mercenary company over to help him out even if the scales involved would make 3000 dudes more of a token gesture than anything

There may also be an option to send forces through the diplomacy window but I don't remember for sure. I do know I sent supplies during a period of plague but I don't remember if you can do the same during war. Otherwise, no I don't think there is a way to do so.

prussian advisor posted:Another thing I’m wondering about is if you have any tips on maximizing crusade contribution? Despite being a little stronger than the HRE and fully committing to the Byzantine crusade, the HRE edged me out on contribution to a fairly significant extent. I think the problem may have been that I focused more on sieging down Constantinople rather than getting into pitches battles with the Greeks...it was tough moving big stacks around Thrace during the Crusade without subjecting them to significant attrition losses, and I always feel like a massive idiot whenever I have troops due to attrition. The HRE has no such compunctions and would regularly have droves of men die to starvation in the mountains and throw them into battle against impossible odds, where they would be slaughtered but I would mop up the remaining weakened Greeks myself. Get there early and siege down what you can before the Muslims can assemble their doomstacks. If you see the opportunity to pick off a smaller army go for it, but don't fight anything you're not 100% sure you can win. If you get caught, retreat out of the battle instead of fighting to the death and hang out on your ships until the doomstack wanders off. Once the rest of the Crusaders arrive, tag along with the largest stack you can find -- don't literally chain yourself to it, but stay in the province next door and jump in whenever they're about to enter a battle or if they're seiging a county. You'll get partial credit for every victory, which combined with your early blitz can really add up. I agree that your mistake during the Byzantine crusade was focusing on Constantinople specifically -- thanks to the Theodosian Walls it's the hardest county in the entire game to siege down, and the capitol bonus doesn't outweigh the time or effort. You probably would have been better off seiging a bunch of weaker holdings in Thrace.

Also if you were entering battles that the HRE started to pounce on Byzantine armies with low morsle, but the HRE hadn't retreat yet then they get all the crusade contribution from that battle

If you're the largest catholic nation like he said he is once the first big counter attack from the Muslims is dealt with split your guys up into a bunch of little stacks and blanket siege as much as you can while the AI walks around aimlessly with their big stacks. You don't get any contribution for helping with a siege, only leading one. In fact you can use that to your advantage and blitz the walls down when AI armies are on top of one of your smaller siege stacks. A single big battle will give you more contribution than a single siege, yeah, but lots of sieges add up and are more reliable than trying to chase Muslim armies around. edit: Oh and you can also invite commanders who have the siege leader trait to your court to speed this up. The Chinese siege engineers are even better. GokuGoesSSj69 fucked around with this message at 00:06 on Dec 19, 2018 |

OK, this may seem like a silly question, but here we go. I've recently gotten back into the game after a several year Hiatus, and there is one issue I have had now at least twice. Based in France, I commit to the Crusades, and fully commit. I pledge my troops, donate some money to the cause, name by beneficiary, etc. The day comes and I raise my troops with everyone else, and start marching to the holy land as fast as my soldiers can go. I am landlocked, and cant afford all the merc ships I would need to Express pass my way there. But right around the time I'm just about to get to the Holy Land, like 2 or 3 counties away, the pope gets pissed at me for not showing up yet, and I lose 200 Piety and he is -20 at me for like a decade. Is there some trick I'm missing?

Raise your troops and start marching early, so that they arrive around the time of the actual call. You're joining a war, not starting it, so it's fine to have levies raised.Buschmaki posted:Also if you were entering battles that the HRE started to pounce on Byzantine armies with low morsle, but the HRE hadn't retreat yet then they get all the crusade contribution from that battle You know I don't think that's true. Crusade contribution definitely increases each day of battle, rather than in a single chunk at the end, and I believe I've specifically seen it handed out when I joined a battle someone else started.

It'll keep happening every time you try to create a spawn of satan so you might as well face the demon hunter and hope for the best.

Can't stop won't stop. Prestige would be a hell of a lot higher if the bloodline of Alexander opportunity hadn't shown up, which honestly at this point is just overkill. Turns out when you're a literal superhuman you can fairly confidently take on doomstacks twice your size and utterly crush them. Wish my commanders would stop Secret Servicing their way into my duels -- even the Carolingian bloodline-spawned great warriors can't cut fools down with half the ease that I can. Kept spamming the "Search for a Smith" decision until I could snag the Angelic Guardian and Dragonseeker -- it's not like money is a issue right now   Rest of the world isn't quite as pumped as I am about conquering the entire Middle East though. Next stop, India

Stairmaster posted:How'd you get your martial so high I think he has something like 16 base before any traits or modifiers. After that, Genius, Brilliant Strategist, artifacts, and the Child of Destiny modifiers form the bulk of it, with some extra bonuses from traits like ambitious, brave, diligent, etc. Some of it comes from the Orders of Chivalry mod -- the orange trait with the four dots next to the "crowned by Pope" trait, for example, is for being a fully-trained squire as a kid, which bumps up your Martial at the expense of some of your other stats. vvv Yep, Outremer Knight retinue. Half camels, half heavy cavalry, with damage and morale bonuses for each. Expensive as poo poo but once you control four or five Silk Road trade posts that doesn't really matter too much ninjahedgehog fucked around with this message at 18:40 on Dec 19, 2018 |

My Stressed, Leper King lasted a lot longer than I thought he would. Still, once the Elders started dicking around with their choice of heir, it was time to go Duel some rivals. It still took until the second Serious Injury for him to actually die, mind you. I did manage to get my first choice heir, which was good:  I look forward to finding out how the game's gonna screw him over.

Is there some kind of bug with absolute cognatic primogeniture where the game just decides eventually that, no, women won't inherit after all, and starts treating it just like agnatic, forcing males to inherit?

Good note to go out on, though. If they've got one more tiny one left in them though, I'd love a graphical artifacts pack. There's so much potential for different crowns and outfits and helmets now that the 3.0 update shows them on your character, it would be totally rad to actually pick out which Crown of Majesty or whatever you want.

A new world in the style of the Aztecs, though, that could stand up to the Europeans and their plagues.

Almost certainly a Victoria 3 Innkeeper Game where you make strategic decisions to create and consolidate the pubs of London, balancing appeals to all the various pops and beer recipes and frequently confronted by challenges like having to divert recruitin' sergeants from recruiting your best customers and sending them to Crimea. He who controls the copies of Punch and the bottles of Sherry controls the world.

Hey, I took the opportunity to buy the expansions I've been missing during the sale, and I have a bit of a minor question. I made a special character and while in character creation, she has culture specific title. But once I get into the game, she's just called duchess. Other people of her culture have a specific title too though, is this a bug? Or any way to get her her culture specific title?

Yeah it's only that for the viceroyalty not the actual duchy. But hey, I've managed to become queen of Greece, leaving me the strongest vassal in the Empire. Though I think I've messed up with the Hellenics. There were only like two people in it and I died suddenly in battle, so while I could convert to Hellenism on the stubborn zealous son I had, now he can't join the Hellenic society because I don't think anyone is IN it right now. Been wanting to get in the society for like 10 years. So I might have to do it in a brute force way. Eimi fucked around with this message at 09:56 on Dec 21, 2018 |
