So after reforming Zun and spreading the One True Faith across the Empire I had a breakout of the Black Death in my court. My heir caught it at the age of 7, but luckily chopping off his face seemed to cure him right up. My ruler was not so lucky and croaked leaving the Empire in the hands of my now disfigured heir. After a surprisingly smooth childhood Sadri turned 16, focussed on the military and was almost immediately gifted with an event giving him a personal war elephant and an extra 10 prowess. From then on it seemed clear that the only thing to do was invade the world. This is young Sadri today:  Keep in mind this is without the bonus skillpoints from friendships because it just became too annoying to constantly be befriending. Before him the Empire reached as far as Egypt, so he focussed his ambitions on Europe. Several Great Purification Wars and an invasion of Byzantine later and he has remade the world in his image:  His heir is a genius, herculean, beautiful, fecund giant. But honestly I am thinking of simply granting all my vassals independence so that I can get the Dynasty of Many Crowns achievement. e: imgs ElectronicOldMen fucked around with this message at 11:12 on Sep 25, 2020 |

How do I take titles away from counts? It says they're not my direct vassal, but I'm actually their duke despite also being an emperor.

That's odd, it should be the opposite -you can't grant independence to De Jure vassals! Did you maybe integrate those titles into your primary title?

Yeah, I noticed that my wife was looking really unwell. Who wouldn't after having 7 kids? But she was looking really poorly. Turned out she was both unappetitic and a lesbian, and I hadn't noticed despite being married for thirty years.

If they're on farmlands or floodplains, keep them for the better buildings you want to hold personally. If not hand 'em out. A God drat Ghost posted:What does it mean to integrate titles? How does this benefit me to do it It means a lower level title shifts which higher level title it belongs to de jure. So say you're playing Billy the Bastard, and you hold the Kingdom of England and the Duchy of Normandy. Trouble is the King of France keeps trying to beat you up, because Normandy is de jure part of the Kingdom of France. Integrate Titles lets you migrate that duchy to be part of England. It's not super useful tbh, and it'll happen naturally on it's own at half the rate, you generally want your Chancellor doing other stuff.

What actions do you need to pursue to avoid your African tribal empire turning into swiss cheese upon character death? I should have seen this coming from playing the scandinavians in CK2 like 6 years ago and yet somehow I didn't.

Very new to this, and this is my third try as a Chieftain in Munster, after going for a while in the tutorial. I can't seem to get control of Ireland, let alone anywhere else. I know this is pretty general, but any (probably basic) tips? I have Light Cavalry MaA as suggested previously in this thread, and that has helped. On the first try invested right away in a marketplace, second time on gathering halls. But I still lose to my neighbors eventually (or get absolutely trashed by vikings). This time around my guy is a seducer and good on intrigue, so I've spent a good time destroying noble marriages and sowing secret bastards on the continent. But that's kind of just for fun, not sure that gets me anywhere politically. My piety is like -200 though.

Make sure you have an empire title to encompass everything, pay attention to the succession screen, and hand out duchy titles to your tertiary heirs so they won't inherit your counties.

I'm gonna say that most starts in 867 are not very good for totally new players. You're probably going to start off small and weak, and not have much protection from other people who might have just made a lucky alliance so they have enough troops to smash you. Certainly Ireland is significantly less safe in 867 and not a great newbie area. Magil Zeal fucked around with this message at 16:08 on Sep 25, 2020 |

Just had a crazy "Murders in the Court!" event. Clearly not just a regular murder scheme, there was a serial killer on the loose. It was my son and heir. One of the victims was my second son, his brother. Of my five sons, there were the only two who inherited the "intelligent" attribute. Murderer son got sent to live a monk. So he definitely made the succession a lot less painful (still in partition), but he pruned the bloodline of a valuable trait. What a wild thing to happen.

I should have seen this coming from playing the scandinavians in CK2 like 6 years ago and yet somehow I didn't. The key to keeping your top level realm intact is to have exactly one (1) top level titles, be it a duchy, kingdom, or empire. But when using Confederate Partition the game will just create and handout titles that were valid for you to create at the time of your death, so it becomes more or less impossible to keep a huge realm together until you have moved on from being a tribe. Broken Cog posted:1066 is better for enjoying all aspects of the game. 867 is more of a free for all(and 769 was even more so in CK2). Yeah this is my takeaway from the first couple games. Doing the tribal to feudal conversion sounds fun and challenging, but it mostly isn't. Grey Fox posted:Dumbass Adamites got a foothold in France and managed to infiltrate my lands throughout my expansion efforts. All I've got are the most clownshoes clergy that takes a decade to convert a single county. You're much better off just demanding that vassals convert back, they'll (mostly) switch the counties back if they agree. PittTheElder fucked around with this message at 16:36 on Sep 25, 2020 |

After decades I was months away from gaining one remaing holy site to finally reform my pagan faith, but my ruler contracted bubonic plague and suddenly died even though he had herbalist trait and was cured from it by his physician. *sigh* I think I will play something else for a while. Btw, it also killed my heir's genius wife.

I actually had a lot of fun with mind trying to get the 10 independent kings of your dynasty decision, it's the perfect thing to do while feudal. The border gore is atrocious though, I wish it did a better job of splitting off exclaves of a single vassal or random holdings on the other side of the world. Something like if a holding is outside 50-100% diplo distance from your capital, it's force granted to a random low born vassal on succession, and if it's >100% they become straight up independent.

A God drat Ghost posted:so it takes away France's claim on Normandy, in that example? Wouldn't France also potentially have access to lots of claimants like the duke and earls and their kids who were there before you took Normandy? Yes, but those would be regular historical-ownership claims (pressed or non-pressed) that benefit them and which only work piecemeal, rather than a huge blanket de-jure claim on the entire territory in the name of the realm. It makes a pretty big difference in terms of how often, how long, and to what ends wars can be declared. Regular claims can be murdered away in pretty short order (or just lost to the generation naturally) — de jure claims will stay until de jure drift has happened, and that takes a long time, especially if they get a regular ownership flip-flop that resets that drift. Integration shortcuts that process by a significant amount.

The pope declared a Crusade and it looked like an easy one. Then... holy poo poo. the enemy bought 20k mercenaries. They turned it around but I expect it will be temporary. The king of Italy alone bought 10k by himself. He's now in debt and if we can wait it out I think I can still win, but wow. I've never seen mercenaries bought on that scale before.

There should probably a limit to how many simultaneous mercenary contracts a ruler can have. I'd think something like one for a count/duke, two for a kingdom, three for an empire. You could change those numbers but the point is that I think a limit that scales to your top rank is a good idea. Maybe do a steward perk that lets you hold an extra one, because stewards make money but are kinda boring right now.

I don't think the Pope's mercs come from the same pool. He routinely gets more mercs than every company on the list I have access to has in total. And it's not like the mercenaries in my tab have all been hired out.
