So it seems I resolved the issue of my Irish Queen not being able to pass any laws through her idiot vassals by removing those vassals one by one until the vote passed. Don't like her for it? More titles for her and her only son. I wish I could increase Crown Authority while I'm at it, but the game forbids me from changing anymore laws until such a period she'll almost certainly be dead. Oops.

The good news is that after ten years of your next ruler you can repeat the cycle of installing simpering idiot yes men on your council, pass some laws, and then mollifying your angry vassals again until it's time for more legislating. It's the circle of feudal life.

Hey, just established the Empire of Alba from one little Irish province. Got Tanistry succession early and have gotten most of my vassals on the feudalism train. Won a crusade against the reformed Germanics recently and gave some cousin the lands I'd taken in Denmark. Catharism had been spreading like wildfire in England but ended up getting stamped out without me doing anything. I'd hoped to convert secretly it but never got approached and none of my direct vassals converted. Now catholic moral authority is back up to 99%, up from like 12% and all the fun heresies are dying out. What should I do now? I wanna run this one out until 1453 for the achievement so I'm kinda looking for fun stuff while I wait for the Aztecs and run down the clock.

Question: My capital got sieged down and I lost the Ancient Crown that you get for reforming Slavic. I settled the guy who had it and now it's in the hands of one of my counts - what's the best way to get it back? Marry the owner to my heir?

I tried an Old Gods start last night and did some raiding for the first time, was a lot of fun once I figured it out. I also managed to reform Germanic Paganism, which, when it fired, made my young lover (and daughter-in-law) Fylkir. She granted me a divorce from my jealous same-age wife on day 1 but I’m not able to marry her. The priests can get married, but not the fylkir. I chose Dogmatic, Sons of Ragnarok, Astrology, and the separate head (hence my lover becoming fykir and not me). Oh and I also gave her Uppsala as sort of a papal state. But both before and after that happened it wouldn’t let me marry her.

I’m fairly certain the son she was married to was long dead due to a society duel by that point. I may have married her to my other son in the meantime and not remembered so I’ll have to check.

Murder until you're the heir of the owner, and then murder again.

That event popped for the first time for me yesterday. I think I mentioned a while back that one of the Frankish Loupings inherited the HRE crown back in the 800s and it fell into my personal treasury not long after. I renamed it Basquet Case and had been using it as the crown of Navarra ever since. I finally created the empire of Hispania in the 1320s and later got the event to pay almost 900 gold to keep it. I don’t know what percentage of my yearly income that was but I could easily afford it.

The huge pain is if you're in Africa, an event about almost losing a treasury item to flooding unless you throw a vast fortune away fires roughly every two minutes. It's probably just the advisors getting themselves paid. "Holy poo poo he fell for it again!"

I mean if it was a binary choice, one or the other, then sure. But anything to permanently increase the number of dudes you can raise is a good thing and by the time you're an emperor you can definitely afford to blow a bunch of cash on a vanity project that makes your capital county better. 10% more guys in five castles is pretty decent in my mind.

Does anybody know of a mod to tone this down or just turn it off? Or how to get into the files and do it myself? I'd like to play in the cool new Africa, but this flooding nonsense was so aggravating I just gave up on it. I don't really understand why Paradox put in all the work to make sub-Saharan Africa so much more interesting to play in, and then at the same time also decided to create a bespoke regional "gently caress You" mechanic that only impacts you if you decide to take them up on it.

I haven't tried it yet in-game, but from trawling the files it looks like the garden is one of the better wonders. Not so much in itself, but if you have the mystic trait, you can upgrade it with a fountain of youth, apparently visitable once per decade to reduce your age by 2 years. (Or, if you're a lunatic, you can also use it to increase your age by two years.)

Great Library does give .10 culture points, though, which is more than you get from both levels of the school you can build in temple holdings (giving .08 culture and 30% tech growth total). And it enables an event hunting down rare books that can increase your characters' learning.

I was being kinda hypersensitive and also a dick, sorry about that. Actual content seemed good. In future I'd suggest turning down your gain and turning your master up. e: just gave your stream a quick listen, skipped through it in 10-min increments, it sounds fine and i was being waaaaaaaaaaaay too critical. the guy with the british/anzac accent WAS peaking a little near the beginning but it wasn't that bad. e2: watching it now and the icon on your channel says it's 4 hours 54 minutes long but only 2 hours are showing up when I click the link on Youtube. I think it cut off the first part since the video starts at AD 798 or so. Grand Prize Winner fucked around with this message at 08:14 on Apr 9, 2019 |

Volkerball posted:The one with the tech spread is my favorite so far. I think it's the great library. Military Wharf upgrade for the Great Harbor gives a 15% bonus to siege speed, which is always a nice bonus. Herb Garden upgrade (requires Hermetic Society) gives a small health bonus + periodic herbs. Tavern upgrade can remove stressed once a year (and has a 5% chance to give Drunkard when doing so) The Royal Bedchamber + Secluded Groves combined give a 10% bonus to fertility. There are a couple more that provide things like faster morale recovery, extra plot power, etc. but I feel like the above ones are what I would use most often. The Lighthouse also provides a hefty bonus to trade value in the province it is built in, so it's probably worth putting somewhere on a trade route.

Doing an RP campaign right now where I’m trying to stay relatively small to make an interesting eu4 conversion. I declared a papal war to restore some of the pope’s land in Romagna that was held by heretics...and the pope joined the war against me along with the HRE and some other kings. Near as I can tell the guy I declared on converted for some reason after my war dec, and it didn’t force a white peace. Since he was no longer a heretic I was now in a holy war against other Catholics, so of course they all Deus Vulted on me.

The cost looks like it scales to your current wealth or maybe your income and so far it hasn't been TOO prohibitive although I did have to pay two grand to keep a tier 4 sword on this current emperor which was, admittedly, three years income, so. You pay more depending on the quality of the artifact, though it's only supposed to go up to 1 year's income by the looks of the event. edit: Wow, that's an oversight. They put in some coding for personally adopting a secret faith to ensure that you won't get a game over by switching to the religion of a DLC you don't have...but they failed to put the zoroastrian group in the check at all, so in vanilla you can't openly announce your zoroastrianism. Might be possible to do it through the secret cult decision, but not through the one that's always supposed to be available. Strudel Man fucked around with this message at 02:50 on Apr 10, 2019 |

I'm playing a Shattered Worlds save and when I do the 'expand new holding' event it generates the holding but it's completely greyed out and I can't interact with it. Trying to google the problem leads to posts from 4 years ago. Is that event just broken on SW?
