It feels really bad to have a line of like 10 kings, to rule justly and well for nearly 200 years, and have it snatched from you by some lovely brother and then be down to a single county. I almost wish my line had just ended. RIP Nubia. My lovely brother is running it into the ground.

Decided to grab this yesterday. I fussed around with CK2 a little bit and admittedly never figured out what the gently caress I was doing. so I started in Ireland in 867 with the small goals of becoming lord of Britannia

/posh voice 1213AD The Holy African Empire stretches from the coastal floodplains of Takrur to the mountainous deserts of Darfur, ruled by the supreme matriarch of the reformed Bori faith - the unparalleled genius Djeneba II "The Foolish". A hundred years after implementing fuedalism over the tribes her strength is but a tenth of what it once was but new laws of succession now ensure at last the empire will endure beyond the death of its empress. The faith has spread wide, remnants of Djeneba II's father, Salman II's campaign of kidnap and forced conversions. A master of intrigue and the Holy African Empire's second male ruler, his idosyncratic approach to proselytising may have only resulted in one lasting Bori state, the East African kingdom of Damot, but it shattered the Byzantines. Will the Holy African Empire attempt to reclaim north africa from Matriarch Nadia, empress of all the muslims of western europe and sweden, or take the horn of Africa from the christians? Find out on the next exciting episode of Daura thunderbowl. Skypie posted:Decided to grab this yesterday.

Is there a way to invite people other than Court Physician/Champions to your court? I get that luck of the draw is a thing and I can't expect everyone to be 15+ at the start, but I'd like a way for me to be able to pay for that option. The first thing I do every game I start is invite Champions to replace all the 8 and 9 and even lower Prowess champions. It makes a huge difference.

Truthfully, I still have no idea what I'm doing in these games, but I'll never forget in CK2 when attempting this that I had this insanely terrifying, pious crusader queen who conquered the remainder of Ireland, most of Scotland, acquired a small plot of land in the Middle East, and fended off multiple illnesses to live to be like 85 before dying of old age

So I started as Alfred chilling in Dorset and I've worked up to being the Petty King of like 4 Duchies in England as his son. I'm getting on a bit (early 50s) and have 3 daughters. I really, really want to fulfill the conditions that allow me to create the title of King of Ye Olde Englande before I die to stop all my poo poo getting split so bad, but in order to do that I need to conquer 6 more counties. Most of the odd ones around me are basically Denmark/Sweden owned and impossible, so I want to conquer the Petty King of Mercia and all his good stuff because he is weak with no allies, but I have no Casus Belli other than a single random county. What is the best way to conjure up a whole claim on his Duchy? Or do I have to piecemeal claim county by county? I feel like I won't live long enough with county by county because of all the Truces. I can't excommunicate him because he's a goody-two-shoes. P.S. Is there any way to see the whole order on who is the next Dynastic Head? I want to create a Cadet Branch, but it says I'm not even 3rd in line to a title of the Head (even though I should be??). I'm literally the only relevant person in the entire House, so I'm feeling being chumped by one of my 1 county vassals having the head, and her sister being next-in-line.

Yeah I think purple is for wars between vassals.Jeza posted:What is the best way to conjure up a whole claim on his Duchy? Or do I have to piecemeal claim county by county? I feel like I won't live long enough with county by county because of all the Truces. I can't excommunicate him because he's a goody-two-shoes. If you have a good bishop there's a chance of fabricating a claim on the entire duchy (I think you might need to fabricate on the capital?). Otherwise, murdering the ruler ends the truce and might partition the duchy, , and your chancellor also has a rolling chance of ending truces early if you have them set to foreign relations. Expanding quickly as a feudal ruler is difficult generally though if you only have one target and aren't using holy wars.

I'm pretty sure you can still invite anyone, but most people not summoned by one of those decisions (or Invite Claimants) or brought to your court by marriage, or arriving at your court while already wandering and unattached, simply won't come due to a huge base reluctance penalty that it's tricky to overcome - it's a deliberate change from CK2 in order to make it harder to assemble super-courts, I gather. (it's probably still worth it for PDS to bring back the "will join court" filter on character search, but then again they should ALSO bring back save slots for filter patterns and game rules sets while they're at it)

random things things i have learned develop your main county!! i forgot to for at least 300 years also make sure it has more than 2 areas  spouses are insanely powerful if you get them to help you on the council page, mainly high diplomacy for vassal opinion, steward for domain size and intrigue for plot power fabricate hook on spouse > abduct on ruler = extremely high chance to win a war or convert a ruler for free

The method of getting new courtiers to your court has been replaced by the "guest" system. Check your guest list often, and you will regularly find pretty great statted courtiers there that will join you for a pretty penny. Especially if you take the dynasty skill that gives you better guests. Alternatively, you can just marry them to one of your relatives matrilineally, and they'll come and squat at your place. Edit: Both methods are great ways of getting more champions too. Edit2: Oh yeah! Also see if some of your prisoners are willing to join you. If they are the same culture/religion, it's not even that hard to convince them. Broken Cog fucked around with this message at 15:09 on Sep 6, 2020 |

Also jesus christ these stupid wars I keep getting dragged into. This is me. You can see Gardariki down there. It's smaller than me by a factor of four. We're at war. Over what, you ask?  This tiny piece of border-gore down on the other side of the continent that I didn't even know I had. Can't my lovely vassals fight these wars on their own for a change?

The perk in the learning lifestyle to buy claims for piety is also a good way to take a giant bite out of a country if you are feudal. It’s how I’m planning on taking half of England before my ruler dies since the current king of England is both super weak AND excommunicated.

Your spouse will leave your court if they inherit a landed title elsewhere or if they're on the run from The Law (they escape an imprisonment attempt by you or your boss). Not sure if there are other cases. [E:] Broken Cog posted:Alternatively, you can just marry them to one of your relatives matrilineally, and they'll come and squat at your place. Huh, I never considered that for some reason.

Stopped one of my vassals beating the poo poo out of a lowborn for suggesting a military strategy, made the lowborn a kickass knight which gave me a loyalty strong hook and now we are best Friends too. Was not expecting some feelgood fuzzies from a grand strategy game. Also my spy masters keep on getting themselves assassinated, if you can't uncover a plot against yourself you don't deserve to be my spy master tbh

Welp my Toledo->Andalusia game is taking a turn for the worse as the Almoravids have begun muscling in on me just as i was fighting a glorious jihad against unified Castille. My ruler had both compassionate and vengeful for some reason so a bunch of decisions gave him stress no matter which choice was picked. He kept the stress at bay by constantly getting blazed as gently caress on hash brownies.

Has anyone encountered an issue where you can't get the game to load anymore? I've tried reinstall, deleting all excess folders in Documents and Steam etc, firewall exceptions and so on. Gets to the first loading splash then crashes immediately every time at "initialising game". Was working fine yesterday, now its just refusing to co-operate entirely. Edit - Okay now it won't even get past the launcher, just a little red exclamation that says "Launching the game failed". Armani Glasses fucked around with this message at 15:47 on Sep 6, 2020 |

Succession still seems to be broken. I have five sons. Son 1 (my heir) is inheriting one of my duchies and 1 of my counties. Son 2 is inheriting 2 duchies and 1 county. Son 3 is inheriting 3 duchies and no counties(?). Sons 4 and 5 are both inheriting 2 counties (which belong to my main duchy title)

Playing as Hålogoland in the 876 start has been great fun, spent the first generation raiding everything and building up the capital province and the second aiming at creating Norway. Poor Haraldr Bårdsson came down with leprosy at 50, had his leg chopped off by his very helpful physician, and managed to survive until 74. Thirty seven days before sieging down the last castle of a war that would give the 15th holding required to create the kingdom of Norway he finally succumbed, splintering his lands between five sons. I don’t know who my primary heir murdered before ascending the much smaller than I hoped throne but everyone hates him and only his highly talented daughter as spymaster is keeping him ahead of the constant plots on his life. 10/10 would make many mistakes again. I know this has been asked a few times but I didn’t see an answer, if I survive to make it to transition to a feudal government, all the province improvements get deleted correct? Does upgrading the main fort also get knocked down to the base level as well? Basically is there anything worth building province wise before settling down or should I build a big war chest to build up after I change over?
