Anyone played long enough to see what the gently caress happens when the mongols stroll in?

Hyper Crab Tank posted:What's the best way of making sure this doesn't implode in a hilarious pile of jarls all deciding the best time to assassinate the new king is right now? In my game the AI seemed much more keen on factions than assassinations. Try to make sure you don't have any very powerful vassals - maybe imprison and execute now, so your heir doesn't have to. Then have your heir study diplomacy and befriending.

Africa is fun. I have 0 idea who's going to inherit what because my character has 7 children and her husband has another 6, some of them not of my dynasty. I'm embracing the chaos, even if it means that my heir will have a single county when he inherits.

Moldy Sausage posted:It seems like a lot of effort just to take a single county though. Especially since I have to wait for the truce to end to even try to take a second one. Is there really no way to press multiple claims at once? There is, but it's gated behind the Divine Right innovation (High Medieval era, post-1050).

I’m sure this has been asked and answered a bunch of times before, but... So there’s no way to attach to an ally’s army, right? Or get them to attach to you?

Protip: Be a shitheel and kick your opponents while they're busy doing other poo poo. It's very nice to grab a duchy with 0 resistance because all their troops are far away and/or being shredded by 1-2 other wars. It's nice that you can see how other wars are going, if your target is currently in a war or two, and they're losing atleast one of them then you know they'll have problems keeping up with you. Cleaning out the british isles of swedish and danish influence is way easier to do while they're busy circle-hatefucking west francia.  (If you click on a character you can see what wars and truces they currently have going, and how they're progressing. If they're doing badly in a defensive war you know their teeth have been pre-kicked in. If they're doiing well in an agressive war you can guess that most of their soldiers are off over there.)

One minor issue I have is my character has the honest trait so he gained stress blackmailing but I could not find any indication that blackmailing causes my character stress, I just happened to notice it was happening.

drat, the UI is so, so much improved. I tried over and over and over again to play CK2 and couldn't do anything in the tutorial after I started having to declare wars. This time I'm 7 hours in and actually making progress on conquering Ireland. It's all going to go poo poo when I die and my sons start fighting, but welp. Just lured a claimant to court so I could marry off my daughter, but he had lovers' pox. Oh well.

Yeah, it should have come up in the text box over what you'll get out of the interaction and etc. I do wish the stress icon was visible on every thing that causes stress, or more visible. I think it only really shows clearly on event screens, it's easy to overlook it on for example the grant claim screen, etc.

My 3 learning ruler was invited to a feast by one of his vassals. Where the vassal carried on a long conversation dryly praising me on how much of a genius I am while my king was spilling soup on himself lol

SnoochtotheNooch posted:Anyone played long enough to see what the gently caress happens when the mongols stroll in? They showed up in my playing past the tutorial Ireland game, and since I was on the other side of the world I didn't really pay much attention to them but when I vaguely remembered them later I went over to check and they were just gone. So you get a notification when they show up but they may not amount to much (it is possible that they conquered a bunch of territory then broke up into a bunch of successor states on Temujin's death, there was a good 50 year gap between when they showed up and when I remember to actually go check on them). SubNat posted:Yeah, it should have come up in the text box over what you'll get out of the interaction and etc. Yeah I've noticed a few UI problems in windows that are non-standard, like the blackmail button. The one that I've noticed a lot is that if someone comes to you asking to pay the ransom of the prisoner you have in your dungeon, nowhere on the window does it indicate what they are actually offering for them.

I don't know if there's a surefire preset. Best you can probably do is just look at the terrain of the area you're expecting fighting in and recruit according to that. You'll still need variety to deal with counters.

a7m2 posted:I just got the Norman Yoke achievement. That was really fun and I barely made it. A year later my ruler died. I had to do some pretty heinous poo poo to get it all in place lol CK3.txt "I had to do some pretty heinous poo poo". It's not pithy, but it's sure true. I decided to go hard and tried Urraca the Brotherfucker. She murdered every one of her brothers and everyone else that stood in between her and all of the titles that made up her father's lands except the ones that went to her son. She died feared and hated, but her son (WITH HER BROTHER) inherited all the kingdoms himself and was sitting pretty. The only reason she wasn't the mother of Spain was because her son was born and inherited the last kingdom she needed. (well, wanted. I wanted Navarra too) She was never found out killing her brothers. She was feared and hated because she made a last ditch attempt to take out a ruler before she died, the plot got discovered (though not her involvement), so she went to kidnapping. Kidnapped the ruler in question, went "gently caress it" and executed them and ate the tyranny. Then she dropped dead. Did it all for you, little Alfonso!

UrbicaMortis posted:Partition gives your primary title to your heir and then splits them off starting at equal rank, so a second kingdom would go to someone else and become independent. Basically you have to hold an empire title if you want to keep multiple kingdom titles across characters without primo. Wait, so how the hell are the Castillians holding on to Castille/Leon/Galicia over multiple generations early on in 1066? They shouldn't have access to Primo yet  They should have exploded by now but they've been nothing but rock solid.

I have a genius + lunatic old man steward that prances around in the nude and converts counties to my culture like nobody's business. ( I assume it's because people just immediately go 'yeah sure I'll convert, just please leave, and maybe put some clothes on.) Also, witches are rad. At some point I picked up witchcraft and started spreading it to my court, and now I can make my house be a witch coven.  My dude already has 2 'medium boosts' to health before that, not to mention the +50% or so fertility I already have. Kids are popping out like popcorn. I just wish it was easier to get concubines, you really have to do a song and dance to get say, someone with interesting traits into your court to concubine up.

What I want now is a list of counties with 4-5 holding slots. Knowing my heir will inherit both castle holdings even in partition is a big boost.

Alternatively maybe the AI has been deliberately disinherting people to keep the titles together, although I'm not actually sure if AI dynasty heads will use that ability.

The Spanish Catholics get a unique decision to consolidate their own kingdom by destroying the other Spanish kingdom titles, once they own all of Leon, Castille, and Galicia. If you see a Spanish monarch with the “Father of Spain” nickname then you know they’ve used it!

What's the mechanic that means the pope can just eat a big chunk out of italy? Benevento start is pretty hard between italy and byzantine gobbling up the available counties if you don't act fast then sometimes you just get hosed because they magically become part of the papacy and I don't know why.

I've found heavy infantry, archers, and pikemen to be a pretty good combo. You get decent terrain bonuses for the archers and the heavy infantry and pikemen are an excellent screening force for the AI combo of Pikeman + Light Horse that I see the most. Has anyone put any thought into duchy buildings? I think a really good argument can be made for almost any of the buildings so I'm having option paralysis

Yeah, that's what happened in the story I mentioned. I made sure my son would inherit all of it (since he had a title I wanted merged in anyway) and when I died, he could take that decision.

The malus for a powerful vassal not having a seat on the council is real frustrating. -40 is brutal. I keep having factions being created to overthrow me and based on the maluses it's purely on the basis that I can't fit everyone in my five council seats. I've got eight dukes and without fail the three that I can't fit always start a war to install someone else.

When vassals are intimidated or terrified of you, they stay out of factions. I believe you can also use hooks to keep them out as well.

It's hard to be sure on the men-at-arms since I don't have hard numbers for how terrain advantage and counters work but it seems to be reasonably balanced. House Guard are extremely good and cheap since they're a dynasty perk, cultural troops are usually a bit above average in their role, horse archers and longbowmen both seem like they have very good numbers for their cost if you have them. Down in Africa I've been using sahel horsemen, because they have pretty good numbers and are my cultural unit, and pikemen, because everyone is using sahel horsemen for me to counter, tribals don't have any heavy infantry to counter the pikes and there are quite a lot of hills around. The nearby AIs seem fond of fielding their cultural units, skirmishers and the occasional archer. Again, really hard to be sure though. Also not sure how much value to give to pursuit and screen, which as I understand are effectively damage and toughness when retreating.

I have a question. I'm in a Bohemia game where I have successfully united the West Slavs in the mid 1300s. Now I'm thinking about leaving the HRE, but I don't know if player created empires are in the game, or if it's only the de jure empires. Does the game have custom empires like in ck2, or not? Current state of Europe.

Ol' popeface is chucking a crusade / great holy war at my face for trying to set up a kingdom in England. How... do you defend against a crusade? Do you just try to stomp the enemy down as best you can, and eventually they run out of steam, or do you have to go on the counter-offensive? (Which seems super hard, since the fuckers participating against me are just a load of dukes and etc spread over half of europe.) SpaceViking posted:I have a question.

There are custom empires, as a decision. Just gotta have enough titles and land and etc to chuck 'em together. (Custom kingdoms too) It's a game rule that's on by default, too.
