Seems like you can't use the Decision to Consecrate Bloodline if you have the "Humble" Trait.. Which seems to be a oversight, give me 200 stress, but don't deny me use options like this.. Especially not when I use so much time to gain piety, just to be denied it. Don't put it in the major decision options for my character if he can't ever use it, duh... Now.. what else can i use 2500 piety for... Mhmmm...

Figure I'll ask again: I'm trying to make a mod to add some new names (given and dynasty names) to a culture. Do I have to include them alphabetically, either in the culture files or the localization files? Or can I just throw them in at the end of the big list?

If you stack up MAA bonuses you can likely beat the pope with 2, preferably 3 duchies if you have all fully manned MAA regiments. They're that good.

Azhais posted: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. Aren't all merc pools region-based, though? This might be trivially true without needing some special hack for the Pope (though that leads to the question "are all the regional pools the same depth?")

I don't know for sure but there's never been much in Paradox modding that relied on ordering within a file or a list, assuming none of the entries are duplicates, so throwing them in at the end should be fine.

My idiot firstborn ended up as a courtier in Mongolia and I can't even disinherit the guy in favor of his better brothers because he's out of diplomatic range. It would be nice if you could disinherit people outside range, but on the other hand it's gonna be fun when he comes back as Wendish Emperor after being gone 50 years and tries to bring the good news of Srikula Shaktism to the Slvovanska. Game owns.

If anyone wants a start where you easily can expand I can recommend Novgorod in the 1066 start. You are either second or third in line to many of the neighboring kingdoms and can murder your way to the crown quite fast. I also went with the force vasallizing perk which means you can eat the small duchies in one war. It took me like 20 years to go from being duke of Novgorod to emperor of Russia.

Orcs and Ostriches posted:I don't think anyone here knows. I was afraid I'd gently caress something up, I guess. Just tried it. Doesn't work with a new name at the end. Doesn't work with a new name inserted alphabetically. Doesn't work if I delete every name but dynn_Test and Test as a first name (which I then defined in the localization files.) I feel like I'm missing something here, lol. Maybe the "religious name" thing? Edit: The religion file has a section called "Reserved names" but those are all first names, not dynasty names. No idea why I'd keep getting the usual dynasty names when I deleted everything but "dynn_Test." Hmmm.... maybe I have to gently caress with the other members of the cultural group?

Jasus Christ posted:Word. I will try 1066 then, and maybe someday I will come back to my hovel in Munster 867 to conquer the known world. The 1066 Bohemia start is also pretty newbie friendly. You can rush to having a Kingdom very quickly, and you'll also be protected by the HRE until you are ready to declare independence/take the throne for yourself. If you get bored of Ireland, I'd recommend that start because it is pretty fun.

I don't know about revoking titles, but I notice that it seems worthwhile to build lots of temples and get the bishop to like you bc he'll give you a much larger cut of taxes than each individual piddling stupid greedy vassal. loving vassals. I landed one of my kinsmen and he immediately set about waging war on his much more powerful neighbor for a de jure county he wanted. Continually losing. He has earned himself the nickname "The Foolish" now.

See here for more details: https://ck3.paradoxwikis.com/Attributes#Fertility The numbers on male fertility are.. uh... Okay, I haven't found a great deal of credible hard numbers but the game certainly seem optimistic about retirement-age fathers. The Mongols and plagues are a complete joke right now compared to CK2. Temujin needs at least 100k troops to not just evaporate immediately (due to attrition?). I don't even know if they're immune like event troops in CK2, which was a different flavour of bullshit. Lastly, I managed to get High Partition and... it seems just as lovely as regular or confederate? The docs are useless because the lions share is nonsense. Between three heirs the younger two were getting as many kingdoms and more counties (each, not total) despite my having already granted them their own kingdoms and full duchies. The only solution i found was to move my capital to my best duchy, which I was reluctant to at first because it's not of my culture yet, but I guess it doesn't matter much.

Is there a way to raise a specific number of troops? It is driving me mad "raising all levies" then splitting repeatedly and disbanding if I only need like 3K guys (out of 30K) to take an OPM.

The one crusade he called was against Lollards in England and failed miserably. In my current game I'm probably all that's keeping Catholicism together. We had successful crusades for Jerusalem, Syria and Northern Spain, but we just got loving rolled for a crusade against Waldenism and the Kingdom of Italy. I think it's basically just me (king of Brittany although I hold almost all of Western France), and the king of West Francia left as the true Catholic powers.

Alongside ctrl clicking to stop an army from from refilling you can also click the button next to split which will allow you to choose exactly which levies, knights and men at arms to move to the new army. Useful for creating an army with just siege units and enough levies to overwhelm garrisons, or forming an army of just one annoying vassal knight to send to the meat grinder.

Something that's probably getting fixed in the next patch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klLL806H8YI TLDR: You can cancel your vassal's construction projects and get the money refunded to you instead of them.

This video isn't directly related to CK3 but I thought it might make an interesting bit of dynastic scorekeeping -- there is a strictly matrilineal house that has held an astonishing number of kingdom titles in Europe, including such famous monarchs as Louis XIV, Catherine the Great, and Victoria: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sl4WtajjMks

Catholicism seems to get its rear end kicked by heresies every time when I start in 867. My current game they pretty much just have the Papacy and like 5 other scattered provinces holding out. Waldensianism sure seems to be popular though. Also man going from tribal to feudal is brutal. I thought my tribal improvements would be converted to their feudal equivalent but instead they just disappear. Suddenly neighboring realms a tenth of my size can field about 4 times as many troops. Then since you have barebones holdings AND your MaA suddenly cost way more gold to maintain your income drops to like -120/month as soon as you raise troops. It took a few generations of steward focused rulers to get back on my feet.

"One of the following." So normally you need 2 kingdoms, but if you're already an emperor that counts. e: I really wish they put bullets in there instead of just insetting, especially because they're sometimes inconsistent on the spacing anyhow. megane fucked around with this message at 00:45 on Sep 26, 2020 |

I'm pretty sure that the "titles cannot be inherited by vassals outside your realm" feature of high crown authority is straight up busted or it means something other than what I think it does. Like a game of whack a mole I've been having to fight dejure wars over territory inherited by some heir of some count in another kingdom constantly in my current game and I've had high crown authority for a three generations now.
