Being a Berber can offset the cost of your castle in North Africa getting flooded because you personally hold the gold fields on the southern edge of the map; 750 CrusaderBucks is basically a quick trip to Rome and Venice.

I reformed religion with equality (well, actually the Bon version "Harmonious") to get Full Cognatic because I had a genius daughter floating around that I wanted to inherit the khaganate. When she did, the law was reset to Agnatic again. That's annoying, though NBD given the piles of dudes around.

Eastern Africa has Silk Road posts which do a lot to ease the sting. It’s just an annoyance. Having a kind-of luxury tax on Artifacts isn’t actually a bad idea, especially if the odds increases the larger the treasury gets. And it’s weird that only Africans have flooding problems.

There also seems to be a random African event where you just suddenly get thousands of gold out of nowhere. But I've only gotten that after being established and feudal.

Hey, I was looking to create a mod that makes it so that landed women will use the more ruler like male headgear instead of the female headgear, which is obviously intended for spouse of a landed partner. Would I be looking to edit Portrait Properties? Or changing something in Portraits themselves?

Would I be looking to edit Portrait Properties? Or changing something in Portraits themselves? a) Headgear and stuff have a texture file (/gfx/characters/) - these are split into male and female files. b) The portraits.gfx files (/interface/portraits/) define which texture file links up to which property and how many indexes there are for that property c) portrait_properties.txt (/interface/portrait_properties/) defines how to choose a index. The problem you run into with your goal is that the selection of properties happens in (c), but you are already restricted to within a single texture file by (a)/(b). So you would need to mod (a)/(b) to combine the wanted textures together and then define (c) to pick appropriately. lurksion fucked around with this message at 23:00 on Dec 30, 2018 |

lurksion posted:Simple description of how this works: So basically I would have to insert the male texture file into the female one and then define what's chosen based on landed status in c? Or for the quick and dirty option, just copy the male file and rename it to the female?

Yep. Though quick and dirty would result in all using one set of headgear without the landed check. And you would probably want to define them in the gfx files (though I guess these textures aren't that large). And don't forget that DLC graphics stuff is in the dlc zips. Societies actually don't follow those steps exactly - the (b) step have some additional definitions in them that allow them to override the "normal" definitions. The problem is that they have a very limited set of conditions unlike portrait_properties in (c). If in the future this set of conditions is expanded, you would be able to use this system to do what you wanted. Unlikely to happen I think. lurksion fucked around with this message at 23:16 on Dec 30, 2018 |

Whelp, portrait_properties is practically incomprehensible to me, so I guess I'll just edit the headgear files. I'll post the resulting mod here, if anyone cares. It'd basically just be for a matriarchal run. I'd love to be able to comprehensively fix it so that it only checks if you're landed, but c'est la vie. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1608849317 Eimi fucked around with this message at 02:10 on Dec 31, 2018 |

The battle event where your character just dies is loving bullshit. It fires way too often and for no reason. I just had it fire when the enemy was routing.

fwiw better martial and better PCS makes that event way less likely, and there's a warrior lodge trait that straight up turns it off.

Especially in the earlier part of the Middle Ages, it was considered to be a more impressive feat of arms to capture an opponent than kill them, and this also had the attractive side benefit of allowing you to collect an often sizeable ransom. Body counts seem to have been very low for a variety of reasons - Orderic Vitalis describes a battle in 1119 involving 900 knights in which there were 3 deaths. Now, numbers should never be taken at face value from these kinds of things, but you get the idea. We can also see that killing was not seen as the objective from penances suggested for knights who killed an opponent in battle: the Venerable Bede suggests fasting for 40 days and Fulcher of Chartres said there should be a year's penance. This would not have been true when fighting 'infidels', though, and changes the later into the Middle Ages we go: more and more use of mercenaries and paid foot soldiers (the 'peasant conscript' thing seems to have essentially never happened) led to larger armies and significantly bloodier battles. Basically CK2 war doesn't seem very much like medieval war as I understand it to me at all, but it's fun this way so v0v.

It's not even necessarily that my rulers die, it's how nonsensically the event occurs. If I have an overwhelming numbers advantage, AND I'm winning the battle, AND my character has a high martial score, how they hell are they getting the event where they are are all alone on the battlefield and just die with no other option? I would be more accepting of the event if it occurred when I was losing the battle or just getting crushed by superior numbers, the problem is when I have an army of 1500 and I'm fighting 300 and two flanks have already routed but oops you died.

Bear in mind there is a real event of historical record where the Holy Roman Emperor died on the crusades by drowning in hip-deep river, because he tripped while crossing it and couldn't get up because his armour was too heavy. People die all the time for incredibly stupid reasons.
