I think you advance tolerance technology enough to raise women's rights laws a notch, then you can change to agnatic-cognatic in succession laws.

But, in all my Ireland games, I've had access to agnatic-cognatic from the start I think. So if you can't change that in succession laws, hover over it and it will say why not. Could just be a vassal mad at you.

Another option without changing law is making lots more bastards via seduction, then legitimizing the ones you want. Your wife already hates you so go nuts.

Meanwhile in Ireland, the endless revolts have begun. King finally decides to spit out another bastard after all this time...a daughter, she can't inherit. gently caress you, Catholicism. Wife meanwhile has survived 10 years in the Oubliette. 'lol'

How exactly do I change culture/religion to something reasonable enough to allow women to inherit? Seems I'm always marrying and inviting Basques, but nothing ever converts.

You need this, and you need Basque/Cathar in vanilla. Conclave gives you a way to legally elevate women (and Muslims) even if you are still Catholic, I think.

The inheritance laws could always be changed if you have high enough Tolerance, that has nothing to do with Catholicism. Ag-Cog doesn’t even require any out of the box. Y’all are getting this mixed up with religions that have the Agnatic feature (like Islam). Islam requires something like 4 or 5 Tolerance and women’s rights laws to implement ag-cog.

Solution is just to change the inheritance laws unless that’s not feasible.

Agnatic-Cognatic (male-preferential but not male-exclusive) isn't the same as full Cognatic (gender-equal). The latter is only available under certain circumstances, the former should be available to all Christians as far as I'm aware.

Reform Bön with their unique doctrine, Harmonious. It forces both full equality as gender law, and absolute cognatic succession. And it allows heir designation. Giving you full control over which of your kids inherits, whether it's a boy or girl, and whether they are the firstborn, last born, or some middle child. And if you do go with a female heir, she won't get any penalties for being a woman ruler. It's pretty cool.

So i'm trying to go through the Arumba/Ireland tutorial on Youtube. Upon firing up CK2, I noticed that even though I select the same starting year and region as the Youtuber, my map and rules are different. Ireland is called "Moo moo" or some poo poo and the counties don't line up exactly. Granted, I have all DLC installed/enabled and the tutorials are older, so maybe the game start is a bit different now. But can anyone tell me if I'm doing something obviously wrong?

Ireland got broken into more counties a few patches ago, right around when Holy Fury dropped. The tutorial is probably just out of date.

Ireland still plays essentially the same, though. I think there's now one more de jure duchy than there used to be, so I guess one more guy can be mad at you for things. But your strategy is essentially unchanged, you just may have to be a little more aggressive so as to consolidate the kingdom before the AI starts marrying into claims on your rightful realm or the Saxons invade or whatever depending on your start date.

e honestly CK2 is way less opaque than it appears and the best way to learn is just to play it. Don't sweat a tutorial being out of date, follow its suggestions as best you can and adapt where you need to.

If you have the game rule enabled, certain counties/duchies/etc. will change their name to something more appropriate to the ruler’s culture. “Mumu” is just the name of the duchy of Munster when held by the Irish.

Tutorials are nice for learning the very basics but beyond that the best thing is just playing and googling issues as you come up to them. The CK2 wiki and paradox forums have a ton of specific info that you'll find in searches.

I’ve done a dumb thing. I matrilineally married my Queen of Eire to a third or fourth heir to the Kingdom of France, I built him a castle and then somehow he assumed the French throne and the barony title is now out of my realm.

How badly did I mess up?

What's on your mind, Axa?
It should come back to your kid once both you and him die, and since your kid'll be your dynasty it'll all work out.

Edit: Complications can include differences in succession law. If you have primo, for instance, and France has ultimogeniture, if you accidentally pop out a second kid and then die, that barony is probably going to go to the younger kid while your eldest inherits your stuff.

What if I was Tannist succession, and I married him by inviting him to court and matrilineally marrying him to a 40 year old (at the time?) we’ve made no children, I guess when I die he’ll probably produce an heir with some whore. Should I fear that?

Worst case scenario, you can fight France in a de jure war for that territory. If you haven't taken some continental territory, you might have a decent advantage fighting off armies as they land on your shores. I also urge you to consider the enclave independence rules in your next game to try to avoid this type of thing.

Alternatively, and maybe more historically, just live without that one barony under your control and focus on bigger fish to fry.

If it still doesn't click in your head after following a screenshot LP, maybe you should just wait for the next update. The patch notes say that they're going to fix the in-game tutorial. Iberia is a much more exciting setting than Ireland to get your feet wet anyways.

I mean also feel free to just ask questions, I obviously can't speak for everyone but I'm always a little excited when there are fifty new posts and and it turns out that someone new to the game needed help scheming to murder or gently caress someone, sometimes both. This is a helpful thread!

Ok...so far so good...I joined a satanic cult, had some kids, and went to war with a neighboring county to press a Do Joor claim. I won and gained the county. I married into Sweden and it seems they helped a bit by giving me 4K men to gently caress with my enemy. Here's the problem, now they are at war, and called for my help. I agreed, but have no idea how to even get over there. Is it automatic? Do I need to raise levies, build ships, and send them? How this worky?

SlothfulCobra

If you're on the continent, then you maybe could just march men up there. small enough bodies of water have dotted lines that let you just walk men over. Just don't march into a fight while crossing water because you get a big debuff.

If there isn't a strait to cross, you have to build shipyards, from which you can draw ships from just like calling up your levies (either on the county view or the military tab). Vikings all get an event where shipyards pop into existence all of a sudden for them, otherwise you either have to hope that the game provided for you or build your own.

The third option is going down the mercenaries list in the military tab to hire a company of boats to carry your men.

Once you've got your boats, you can click your men to go into the boats like it's a province if the boat's at sea or you can send them to the place where the boat is docked and tell them to board. I think the ratio is for every 1 boat your fleet can carry 100 men.

Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

Meanwhile in Ireland, I take it back...the current King pooping out a bastard daughter (who I immediately legitimized) actually did set her up as his heir, as apparently when you only have two children, a daughter and a prince-bishop, the daughter wins out and boots the next nearest successor (the king's brother) out of contention. Who knew.

Of course she can't be given land, which is a problem as I am still well over my vassal limit and the king's brother is going to jump him at any moment for control of Ireland. Which wouldn't be the worst outcome, but gently caress him, I'd rather ride it out and give Ireland to the daughter at this point.

If you're over your vassal limit, create more duchies and hand them out.


Fun random fact: If you have agnatic-cognatic (daughters only inherit if you have no sons) primogeniture (firstborn eligible heir inherits all), then a younger daughter with a son inherits before an older daughter without children or with only female children.

if a vassal is doing something treasonous against you, like plotting to kill a dynast or claim a title, you can try to imprison them without penalty - it depends on the severity of the crime though. see if there is text on the tooltip that says "this is seen as tyrannical" or "other vassals will like you less -15" or something. if it isn't there, then everyone agrees the vassal is a poo poo and you can get a free swing against them. if you have title revocation on, then imprisoning the traitor and yanking their title is a good way to clean up your borders and or land dynasts

of course sacrificing him to satan is fine, and so is asking him politely to knock off his plotting. but a useful part of vassal management is pissing off specific guys so they plot against you, then using that plot as an excuse to punish them severely

On that note, I'm unclear as to the line of succession when it comes to my prince-bishop son.

If I pile land on him and he dies, does his stuff revert back to me?

If you made your son a priest, giving him more titles will just make him a higher ranked priest. When he dies he'll be replaced by another bishop. I'm pretty sure you can put him back into the line of succession by revoking all his titles, if that's what your're after.
