Why didn't the counties I'd seeded with Hellenic communities convert when I brought the cult out into the open? My capital converted, but it appears none of the other 20+ counties with communities did.

Disillusionist posted:The risk with that strategy is that it brings you closer to having a border with the Abbasids, who will invade you soon after you gain a border with them. I actually don't remember if I nabbed part of the Shia realm or not when I played my successful Karen run, but it's something you have to consider when you start moving west. Yeah, the Abbasids and the Samanids (who, again, love to opportunistically attack you) are the big risk of attacking your Shia neighbors there. Though, they also have the Sassanid bloodline family as vassals if I recall correctly, which you'll probably want to mix into your own line eventually because it compliments your Parthian blood well, so that's another perk of conquering them.

It doesn't matter if the person who owns the county is also secretly Hellenic, it's only stuff you directly control. Leads me to believe that when you hit the button it doesn't even have the scope to check for other member's controlled counties. Rather annoying that it can't even grant you a conversion buff or something.

Strudel Man posted:Did it finish establishing the community? It takes a while. And I think it's somehow tied to the ruler, too. Yes, the counties I'm talking about all had the Hellenic community modifier. The modifiers persist from ruler to ruler, so if it's dependant on that then the UI is either very deceptive or very uninformative (also none of the counties I'd established communities in with my then-current ruler converted).

Is there any reason to go feudal as an African emperor when you aren't saddled with gavelkind instead of just staying tribal forever?

Wow, thanks for all the advice folks. I was able to take my first Karen ruler from Duke hugging the Caspian Sea to the king of Daylam. Fortunately I didn't have much trouble expanding West because after I finished absorbing the shia states the Abbasid caliphate lost all but their core territory in Upper Mesopotamia. Things are going to be tricky now that my first king died and his son is still in a Regency. While I couldn't do anything about it the Abbasid's are stitching themselves back together and my most powerful and rebellious vassal just successfully won a holy war for Khoresan. One last question: how do I make zoroastrian Divine marriage work? There's exactly 1 kid in the 2nd generation who doesn't have one of the negative purple genetic traits. At least I'll be able to introduce some diversity into the Gene pool because the Caliph's sister is in my dungeons and will soon enough be my new rulers concubine.

Communist Walrus posted:Man, I really hope that's just a goof in the code. There's quite a few annoying but not game breaking bugs in the current game. For example if you pick enatic clans on reformation, when switching to female god names some of them are left blank leaving you with just a missing god name. The Greek god names for Hellenism are similarly bugged where when you reform as Greek after a save and reload they lose the spaces between them. As well when you play as a female character, you can't change your characters hair, as that feature is broken for women.

Do I lose the OP African inheritance system if I go feudal? Though I am emperor so that would just mean all my kingdoms would be spread out among the kids which isn't too much of a bother.

You can keep eldership as long as your religion can support it through doctrine. So yes. My first African game I didn't know you could just bribe people to support your candidate. That was way harder!

The elders always seem to choose whoever I want or at very least someone I don't mind and they always keep it consistent over my six or seven kingdoms. Even if I'm juggling several kingdoms they never seem to mess it up by all choosing my moronic syphilitic nephew who eats people or something like the vassals usually do when I've played elective. Maybe I'm just really lucky. Now I've gotten to the point where I'm too big to fail so I'll probably go with a very aggressive war oriented reformation so I'll have something to do for the next 400+ years other then going to parties and building up my holdings. You know go north and conquer the north of the continent. Maybe even attack Europe and set up some colonies. FreudianSlippers fucked around with this message at 20:14 on Jan 6, 2019 |

EDIT: just checked, it's in interface/portraits, below the hair_color_index and eye_color_index for each portraitType. For the Outremer females I just set it as headgear_that_hides_hair = { 9 10 }. Pretty sure 10 is helmets, while 9 is for Intrigue outfits -- so you might want to turn that on or off for each culture, depending if headgear 9 is a hood/veil or just a hat. ninjahedgehog fucked around with this message at 06:26 on Jan 7, 2019 |

I tried to figure out how the dynamic crown thing happens with Being Crowned because I thought that might lead to a way to just redirect crowns instead of replacing files, and boy that poo poo's complicated.

You should probably avoid having children with your relatives if you don't want to deal with inbred children. If you really want that +5 opinion boost, marry a relative too old to get pregnant.

Changing clothes is a lot more complicated than you'd think too. I've tried mucking around in save files to replace certain digits of the Properties string, but it always changes back to what was already there if a character changes into their armor and back. There used to be a little mod on the PDX forums called Customizable Attire that unfortunately went defunct once Holy Fury came out -- I tried messing around with that to see if I could bring it up to date but oof, I can barely figure out how it even works.

Is picking a starting nation in shattered/random worlds just picking what kind of race/culture/religion you want to be then finding the county with the most holds or is there more nuance to it than that?

it depends on what you've randomized. a very shattered world with no dukes or kings, yes, it's just a matter of finding your preferred culture/religion combo and going from there. there can be much more considerations though. if you have dukes or kings you really don't want to start too close to one of them as a count, for example. if you plan on raiding you'll also want nearby heathens. etc.

It's also worth noting that if you generate multiple random/shattered worlds to get cultures where you want them (Say you want to be a scandinavian bear or Irish Mali), the ones you don't use start to pile up, which can be an issue if you have relatively finite hard drive space. Personally, I want less of the huge tracts of

Oh, right! So where are they stored? I assume in the CK2 folder in your Windows profile, but is there a separate folder for shattered worlds, or are they tucked away somewhere else? (Since yeah, that might explain a few things, seeing as I have generated quite a few new shattered worlds...  )
