what do you do if your dude gets stuck on the salvage event chain? I tried two different rust cultist starts and both times they were stuck 'on pilgrimage' until they died of old age.

Lousy Redcoats didn't bring me a gun  I've got a bunch of weak claims in my bloodline on a large tribal government, but I can't figure out how to set up the circumstances to launch a claim war. Since the government is Elected Gavelkind it doesn't seem like there's going to be a time when there's a kid in charge. And all my claimants are women. I launched a debt war, thinking I can force a regency while their ruler is imprisoned, only to discover that I can't declare war on Realms if I have their ruler imprisoned*. Also what are the triggers for establishing the MacArthur Bloodline (or the Alexander Bloodline in the base game). I have the resources to do it, and it's the one last thing I need to start The Blobbening in earnest. EDIT: What the best way of dealing with all these loving pirates? *EDIT2: Thinking about it, I now realize why this is the case (since having the ruler imprisoned automatically wins you the war).

SirPhoebos posted:Lousy Redcoats didn't bring me a gun With the Alexander/Ashoka Bloodline chain you need to have 15k prestige, be an emperor, and not content, not a prisoner, and not incapable. I’d assume the AtE equivalent probably has the same rules. I don’t know what the MttH is on it so it’s possible that even if you meet all the requirements it just might not get around to firing. It’s more common than the immortality event chain in my experience, though.

Technowolf posted:Stab rulers until someone incompetent or unpopular gets on the throne and stab vassals until someone ambitious rules. Thanks for the advice. (The sad thing is there was a window where I could have pressed a claim, but it opened just as I got the Redcoat Invasion warning. I turned down the opportunity not knowing what to expect, but while the invasion was definitely  -worthy, it wasn't gently caress You numbers of troops like the Sunset Invasion. Looking back I think I could have pulled off a two-front war. Oh well, part of learning this game is coming to appreciate your less-than optimal decisions).

Pardon the double post, but is there a mod to give Jihads and other Great Holy Wars the same mechanical support as Catholic Crusades (so two year prep, monetary contributions and rewards, ability to influence the target, etc)? EDIT: sacre bleu:

The Grand Rebbe has been pretty ambitious with calling Great Holy Wars, but I think this one takes the (bland, passover-kosher) cake: Why sure, Rebbe, I'll march across the entire continent, no way this won't be a total logistical nightmare  EDIT: Damnit, I won too. This is only going to encourage him! This is why I want the Crusade interface for non-catholics, so I can pull the Rebbe aside when he's snorted too much coke.

Durr durr durr I'm the new loving Khagan and I'll happily defend a war I know I can win because I'll call my clan allies into this, and then I'll just loving march backward and forward for no loving reason while the enemy troops walk past and take territory and lose the whole war and cause the player a loving game over because I'm a total loving idiot and won't actually engage the enemy even though I have twice the troops durr durr durr. loving hell that is the loving stupidest way to get a game over.

It wasn't two provinces, it was four. Just march into their territory, then immediately turn back and march across three of ours, then turn back again, taking my troops with him in the vain hope he would actually fight and easily beat our opponent with the combined armies of him and the two Khans. But, no, just wobble backward and forwards, not retaking territory nor sieging theirs, until we lost.

Somehow I didn't realize that the conquest CB lets you also keep counties you occupy outside of the de jure kingdom you are targeting. Which brings me to my next question: what is the threat reduction you get from releasing vassals based on? Do the more counties or holdings you release lead to a bigger discount or is it just based on the level of the title you released? On of my ideas is to conquer the rest of California and then release it. On the other hand, I think I've gotten to the point where I can actually fight everyone else at once and win. This thread wasn't kidding when it said that Merchant Republics were OP.

Anyone know a mod that disables regency for female rules during pregnancies? I play a beast of a norse woman currently and none of my courtiers can match her marshal skills so every time she gets pregnant all my troops go "aw gently caress she got fat" and leave the realm cause of designated regents low skills.

There's a game rule to remove regency as a concept, and for pregnancies in particular there's a “pregnancy flavour” rule where you can reduce the number of events and the effect of pregnancy-related regencies specifically.

Yeah, although if you do it right (good luck), it's possible to change game rules by editing a save file. It's a bit of a faff to do it right and get the proper syntax, but it is doable.

Well it sounds like she might have enough kids already, so if you're already using console commands, you can just give your ruler or her husband the celibate trait.

I feel like I've gotten everything I can out of my current playthrough. While I mentioned moving onto an ATE Norse start (having some decision paralysis on which tribe to go with), I'm also curious about doing a single-Island Brethren start (specifically Tortuga for Maximum References). Any advice on that start?

My ATE Norse game is going well. I'm ready to reform the religion and and I'm undecided on what traits to pick. I like Temporal Leader and Sons of Ragnarok. I'm torn on the 2nd doctrine. Bloodthirsty Gods and Unrelenting would be sticking to the theme. However I remember how great being able to pick my own heir was in my last game, so Meritocracy is tempting. As for nature, I'm trying to pick between Warmongering and Unyielding. Warmongering seems like it could be a pain if you get large enough that even the smallest gains blow up your Threat score. Though being able to call your own Great Holy War seems like it would offset that somewhat, and if your other believers are being aggressive you can always find another war to join. On the other hand Unyielding, while it sounds pretty solid, also feels unexciting.

My vassals just non-stop suicide holy war into targets they have no chance on defeating.

Yeah, that's a problem with holy wars in general. I had to violently bribe my way into outlawing all vassal wars at one point because they kept trying take on the entire middle-east with their little dutchy, completely tanking the moral authority and causing a bajillion heresies and revolts to start as a result. It's nice that they want to expand the empire, but not if they do it so stupidly that it results in 50+ years of constant religious uprisings.
