Gaj posted:Yessssssss. My favorite CK2 run was a shattered world start where I played the Jewish count of Jerusalem and expanded. When my grandson inherited everything, both of his younger brothers rebelled. I defeated them and put them in jail. My old and sickly grandmother beseeched me to release them both, upon which they became 100+ favorable to me and were loyal. Gotta be Greek but now you can torture people in your dungeon and there are even perks that reward you doing so.

Just formed Carpathia as the Magyars and converted to Catholicism because Bulgarians were bothering me and holy warring all my poo poo. Now I just need to feudalize my realm, convert the remaining heathens, and maybe expand a bit to form a nice Central European empire like the Austro-Hungarian Empire a thousand years too soon. Then I´ll probably get bored and try something totally different.

I have literally nothing to back this up, only my own anecdotal evidence, but I suspect that since Catholicism takes such a dim view to women rulers that you can just use any old excuse to depose them, they also don't haphazardly give entire kingdoms away to them unless there are literally no other options. If you’re the number one contributor listed on the crusade screen then your beneficiary should get the main title, it shouldn’t matter what gender they are as far as I’m aware. I’ve had two female beneficiaries as the largest contributor and they both got the queen title afterwards. I think the only time this doesn’t happen is if the crusade is for a particular claimant, then that person will get the highest title. It sounds like this is the case for what happened with the other guy, since he was the former king of England. Although, that is confusing in your case that the results were so different. Maybe you weren’t actually number one in one of the wars? Maybe it depends on the particular inheritance for the title too, I’m not sure.

I do hope they make it possible for children in the inheritance line to get named beneficiary. Godfrey, the first ruler of Jerusalem was the Duke of Lower Lorraine, and even if we assume that he was simply a participant and not the direct beneficiary (since he died one year after becoming ruler), the first man crowned king was his brother, who before the crusade would have been his primary heir. I feel like it should be possible to name yourself or any heir beneficiary, but if you win as beneficiary, you get an event to decide if you are moving your capital to the new kingdom and your old liege then receives your titles and lands as abandoned (as happened to Godfrey). If you designate an heir it's fine, but I'd also include a change which makes it so that you can't inherit a title as a landed ruler if the de jure kingdoms of each are not within diplomatic range of each other. Thus if you name your eldest son heir, when you die he will not inherit your lands, going instead to landless children or landed children in diplo range.

So Im playing as my boy Bjorn Ironside and I had one county in England, Cambridgshire. The locals started a war for it and I had my hands full in Sweden so I just surrendered giving it to them. Without any other wars or reason I gained another full county in Sweden with a vassal. He was at war but not with any of the parties I was involved with. How? Edit: in the time it took to post that, another 3 counties just joined me. I was not at war or anyway involved with whatever the gently caress they were doing Gaj fucked around with this message at 03:08 on Sep 22, 2020 |

Nah that's not it, I've installed multiple female relatives on various thrones. The key is that if there's a recently deposed monarch (of the correct faith I assume but don't know) the head of faith will try to reinstate them rather than any of the beneficiaries. You gotta check the "choose over preferred candidate" or whatever that box says.

Does anyone have a good guide for the basics of modding? I made one before ages ago for Stellaris but I kind of forgot how it works. The wiki has a good page on like, how to set up a mod but I can't for the life of me remember what to do once I have the like, mod shell. I'm pretty comfortable reading through and hacking the files for various PDX games so I think I know like, what I'd want to do if I just wanted to change the CK3 files themselves -- but the whole idea of a mod is that those files can get overwritten and changed. Do I just uh, put a copy of the edited text file in the mod location? Do I need to recreate the path that file is in in the real CK3 folder? I'm specifically wanting to just gently caress around and add more names to some cultures name lists but I remember doing that in CK2 and then having it all be re-written by an update.

Corbeau posted:The best thing about being an emperor is occasionally looking down to catch up on how your vassals have been aggressively re-distributing all those titles you handed out decades ago. I started paying attention to this after I conquered a duchy, revoked the title of the current duke (while still letting him keep a county) and installed a dynasty member -- it was great because he had 22 Martial! Then I wondered why he disappeared from my council and that was because the dude lost the title back to the original holder in a war! I couldn't revoke the ducal title a second time due to that stupid lockout so I had to get a claim on his current county, and revoke that to start another war, this time throwing him into a dungeon. But that still wouldn't let me reinstall my original choice as duke because the title was still locked out and he just kicked out one of the existing counts to take his land. I had to revoke two more counties before completely unlanding him. Even when I got a Fabricated Claim on the whole duchy, I couldn't use it because of the lockout... By the time I was able to reassign the duchy again it seemed like my original candidate had completely vanished lol

Yeah, my son lasted a few months as king of Syria before converting. Then he quickly became a vassal of one of the nearby empires. The lovely thing is that his heir ended up being a different dynasty somehow, so I wasn't even getting the extra renown after he died. Meanwhile, Jerusalem turned into a powerhouse but my dynasty was so small at the time of that crusade that I didn't have any possible beneficiaries I could name.

I'm specifically wanting to just gently caress around and add more names to some cultures name lists but I remember doing that in CK2 and then having it all be re-written by an update. I'm pretty new to CK3 modding but I'll take a stab at this (and I'm sure I'm using some terminology wrong here): My understanding is that changing something like that is just creating a file that shares the same folder structure and including the very top-level entry for what you want to change in the file. For what you're wanting to do, I'd assume you'd make a file in yourmodpath/common/culture/cultures/ called something like XX_latin.txt or XX_chinese.txt, where you'd have the top-level entry latin_group/chinese_group copied in its entirely, with the additional names you wanted. Then you'd need a localization file, placed in yourmodpath/localization/english(or whatever language)/names/ and called something like xx_character_names_l_english.yml. I don't believe you'd need to include all of the old text for a localization file, just the new names you want to add underneath a l_english: line. I'd look at the corresponding base game files to get a handle of how to set them up. I honestly don't know how much file name matters, it seems like you can preface it with anything, but a localization file must end in _l_english to localize in English (and I presume it's equivalent for other languages). Hopefully if I got any of that wrong somebody can correct me.

For all my current ruler's accomplishments I think cleaning up the internal borders makes me the happiest? I am at the point where I am near the vassal limit simply from dukes lol, I am probably going to have to start letting go of a kingdom title just to get back under the limit. That cluster of counties east of Lobi will be consolidated once I can afford to create the duchy, but I need to build up a nest egg for my heir's transition. It really helps knowing when your reign is up because I can just YOLO with the tyranny from retracting and revoking lol I have 12k prestige and 2.7k piety, I don't know what to do with them since i can't take them with me

You start off with the role playing, or with nationalist-revisionist history, or to teach yourself better geography. You end up simulating horrible cruelties not in the name of your god or your house, not because it's what your character would do or because it's what a real historical ruler would do but because -- only because -- it makes the borders prettier. This is the way.

Maybe in partition succession, each heir gets 10%. It kinda feels bad to have it just evaporate.

I was kind of bummed to discover the University of Salamanca gets put in the bishopric of that county, so I don't actually get any of the special benefits from it whatsoever. I would have to create my own bespoke heresy of Catholicism just to be able to take that holding I guess... Well at least I got the "the Scholar" title for sponsoring the construction of the school I'll never own.

Oh awesome. My Ironman save hit that bug where it loads an old save. So now I'm like 6-8 years ago, like 25% of the way through the Crusades. gently caress that. It took me hours to get through that and the micro sucks. RIP that savegame. And the other save I was playing (African matrilineal - 867AD Daurama Daura of Kano starts with an event to go Female Preference succession in the first month) is pointless because every female leader marries Patrilineally and fucks themselves out of titles (apparently another confirmed bug). Might just wait for a major patch now. And gently caress ironman, even though it's helped me ride with the flow of making bad decisions.
