At the very least, don't spend money on creating new titles at your highest ranking, because if you control the whole extra kingdom, the game will know when gavelkind comes around and hand it to your other son whether you created the title or not (assuming somebody else doesn't already have the title). A common trick is to beeline an emperor title so that while your internal kingdoms will get split, the emperor title keeps everything together under your main heir.

Kinda both, it's treated as free DLC, I'll copy the text: quote:Good evening, or morning, or potentially afternoon. First off, I am happy to announce that if everything goes as planned we will release Patch 3.2 with the Iron Century bookmark on Tuesday. Yes, this Tuesday. The 28th of May. So for today's DD we will take a look at some of the remaining things we've added, starting with 5 new decisions. Patch notes: code:

aphid_licker posted:Okay that's a yikes. That's only for elective gavelkind. If you're not a pagan you likely have regular gavelkind, which is not quite as punishing. Additionally, it's enough to control 51% of a kingdom's territory for the game to create it upon death and hand it out to your brother if you're under elective gavelkind.

I have Georgia and I'm working on Alania. So, yes that's true, but on the other hand you get claims on the other kingdom. Set your primary title to the stronger of the two kingdoms before your ruler dies and then upon succession just go kick down your little brother's door and take his poo poo.

The easiest way to skirt gavelkind bullshit is to be constantly arresting vassals that are plotting or will not stop backing a plot(they have to refuse your request before you can arrest) and land your non-heir children. This works greatly in your favour. It massively increases your dynastic prestige, because after a couple rulers your realm will be controlled entirely by your dynasty and you'll be in a place to implement primogeniture succession. Nepotism is the key to a successful realm in this game. DeathChicken posted:Unfortunately no amount of hiring Basque tutors for my kids ever converts them, and I can't ever seem to find a Basque spouse when I'd actually need to marry someone. Invite them to your court them matrilineally marry them to commanders. Then you keep the opinion of the Basque woman high so she wont leave your court. When you're ready to marry her, declare a tributary war or something and make the husband lead tiny bands of troops until he's dead.

you also need to set your kids to HERITAGE focus if you want to have them swap cultures at all.

You could also just not marry off your second son or whoever would inherit your other stuff under gavelkind. That way you only need to kill one person to get your land back instead of him plus all of his kids. This doesn’t work as easily if your current character already has a bunch of sons though.

I couldn't mend the schism due to Catholicism dying a death, so I restored the Roman Empire instead. Then converted to Hellenic, immediately reformed, beat off the civil war and joined the Olympians. No special events yet apart from regular temple dedications, though.

My 75 year old Irish King was in the middle of a war to take a chunk out of England. He became infirm (along with having some other negative health modifiers). The game heard my prayers and allows him to live one more year so I could win the war. The finger on the monkey paw curled over as well giving him about 9 more years during which his genius heir got killed. Thanks CK2!

Jedit posted:What is the oldest character anyone has ever seen without savescumming or immortality? No reason, just curious. Not in Crusader Kings II, but in CK I saw Malik Shah lived to be 112, that kind of broke the games UI for just the sheer number of his children, coupled with lower life expectancies in that game... I think his great-great grandson inherited from him, and Shah himself ruled for something insane like 80+ years and has 9-10 different wives and thirty + kids. Oldest character I had in CKII was Alberto Azzo D'Este in an early game maybe shortly after Sword of Islam. He lived to be about 89 before he croaked.

I once had a ruler make it to 92, and I started with him as a six year-old in a brutal regency.

The update is out. I played a game as Kievan Rus in the new bookmark and I immediately remembered why I hate playing tribal pagans. Jannabids are super fun though, Islam is fractured enough that no one can really mount a defense as you burn through Hijaz.

I was asking because I had the interesting thought of a challenge game where you try to get from 769 to 1453 using as few rulers as possible and refusing the immortality chain if it pops. With male-only ultimo and the Fountain of Youth you might conceivably be able to do it in seven.

Doesn't it change the map? Or does it only do that once you start a new campaign? I reverted back to the previous version precisely so that I could finish my ongoing campaign before moving on.

It changes the map, I had few holes instead of provinces in Egypt at first, but it seems that game adapted to it and those holes quickly turned into regular provinces. Not sure about the new cultures, I might check them. Edit: new cultures appear in characters, but the provinces were not switched to new cultures Dwesa fucked around with this message at 22:07 on May 30, 2019 |
