So, I'm a king, I finally got high crown authority. Then what do I see but one of my own dukes defending in a war from his earl, who got a claim on the duchy. The war started long after I had enacted high crown authority. Isn't that exactly what high crown authority is supposed to prevent?

It will prevent your direct vassals from going to war with each other. The earl is still able to attack the duke as the earl is not a direct vassal of yours. On the other hand your duke would not be able to go to war with another of your dukes.

simonwolf posted:Encountered a bug I haven’t seen before — when my monarch dies, I get a game over screen, even though he has many children (and siblings, etc) and it’s a primogeniture inheritance. Weirdly, on his death I get two succession notices — one where it passes, normally, to his eldest son (though there is a note on the heir saying ‘no player heir’), and one where it’s game over. It repeats, as well, on a crash-reload. Update to this because I figured out the issue: turns out the game doesn’t like it if you hold a temporal theocratic title, but your heir doesn’t belong to that religion. Force-converting him seems to have solved it!

This game makes my computer run really loud, what settings can I change to make it calm down? Or is it a "Byzantines plotting against each other" scenario that can only be resolved by buying bigger computer parts? I've already lowered the graphics settings, but I don't think they were the problem.

If you're thorough, west african paganism (Bidaism/Siguism) can be turned into the ultimate 'I am the law' faith. Reform it with Pursuit of Power, giving -50% tyranny gain. The holy site Niani gives another -20% tyranny gain. 'Righteous' pluralism doctrine makes the 'Defender of the Faith' theologian perk then give -25% tyranny gain, for a total of -95%. On top of that, I invaded Lotharingia to plop my capital down in Aachen, where the unique Palace of Aachen gives -20% tyranny gain as well. As a result, I can do whatever I want, and accumulate no tyranny at all. Strudel Man fucked around with this message at 09:05 on Oct 4, 2020 |

Broken Cog posted:They should probably have a look at vassals thinking they can call their liege to wars if they're allied with them. My vassals that are allied to me through marriages with my daughters keep starting wars with neighbouring rulers even if they're outnumbered 10-1, and I suspect it's because they think they can call me in. It seems very counter-intuitive that the only way to force them to stop the war, would have been to use a hook on my King to retract the Duke to under my direct control, and then tell that duke that he must surrender the war. Because I didn't want them to lose and have a Kingdom go to a non-dynasty member, I had to gift them 40 gold at a time (why is there no other way to gift levies/MaA/gold?) until they could afford enough enough mercenaries to turn the tide of the war. Maybe I'm expecting too much control over my vassals, especially in the tribal era.

I have similar ideological problems with being told I can arrest a count because he’s a cannibal, but I can’t strip him of his titles because he has a duke. I’d even be ok with handing him over to the duke, provided his titles get stripped.

Has anyone else been getting the event where someone tosses a disease-ridden corpse into your castle way too often? I've gotten it like five, maybe six times on my current ruler, which feels nuts. And I'm getting real sick of the smallpox outbreaks.

Sorry if this has been asked before, but is there any way to get your Liege to more directly come to your aid in a defensive war beyond just doing the nominal "Offer to Join War" thing? My queen seems to be content dicking around with her armies on a dynastic claim a thousand miles away while I just got massively invaded by a neighbor with express goal of conquering my duchy.

Tippis posted:
This seems true for NPC realms as well, especially those on any kind of elective succession. I think in part it's driven by the variety of flat opinion bonuses from sway schemes and fame; now that most characters only have 3 traits, it'd be nice to see them get have a much bigger effect on opinion. Arrogant, ambitious, and jealous character should probably lose opinion in reaction to increasing fame, with the same for devotion when a character is cynical or possessing sinful traits.

Sorry if this has been asked a bunch of times, but if I'm doing a reconquista game as the Asturian king, what options do I have available to buff my religious conversion rate? At 25 years/province the game will enter the space age before Hispania is Catholicized. I know that going with a Learning lifestyle should help, and my next ruler will go that way, anything else I can do? I can't really influence fervor, can I? Maybe Zealot vassals have a higher likelihood of putting their own bishops to work?

Catholicism got completely hosed over by the Byzantines, they took over the Italian peninsula a few generations ago, one of their emperors converted to Catholicism, they went on a crusade and formed a Kingdom of Jerusalem that got totally absorbed by the Yahyid, then the next emperor converted back to Orthodox and dismantled the papacy lol All of the peasantry in Italy and Greece remained Catholic though, by the time I got there all the fragmented polities were using Chiefdom titles

Having an empire that is just filled with distant members of your dynasty works great, not only are the congenital traits you worked hard to breed into them everywhere and available for marriage (even without the possibility of inbreeding, if you want to avoid it), but you can use a "claim title" interaction for the cost of 150 renown to claim any title from county up to kingdom (possibly empire? haven't had the opportunity to try it yet) and the cost does not scale. Makes realm reorganization pretty simple, or claiming an independent kingdom that is ruled by a dynasty member for a claim war.CharlieFoxtrot posted:Game owns, I look forward to playing more soon, maybe after another patch? I should probably play something else for a bit lol Nicely done. I'm about a hundred years out from finishing my own United Africa game, and I think I'm also gonna have a break to work more on mods afterward. There's lots of other things in CK3 I want to try, but for a lot of starts I really want ruler designer to come out first so I can play as a ruler I actually want to play in a given area, or my eventual Roman Empire restoration game which is going to wait until they get around to releasing an imperial government/Byzantine rework DLC. I feel like landless estates could form the core of a DLC that focuses on both republics and an imperial government. But if I start another game before then it'll probably be in India, I never got around to playing there in CK2 either.

At 25 years/province the game will enter the space age before Hispania is Catholicized. The best way to do it is to exploit the fact that if a land-holding character converts and is the same faith as the land they control, their capital county will convert with them. So when you capture Islamic prisoners, you should release them on the condition that they give you a hook and recruit them. Then put them in charge of a county that is the same faith they are, then demand they convert, using the hook to force it if necessary. That will convert the county to your faith. Aside from this somewhat gamey workaround, I'm not aware of many easy paths to converting land en masse. But the perk that removes the fervor penalty really helps.

PancakeTransmission posted:It's "fixed" in the sense that it doesn't give away all but 1 of your counties to your other children. Like, this is my current confederate partition with 3 eligible heirs (female preference law): I had a succession projection that was almost exactly that. I held only two counties in my capital duchy personally, then three in another. With two children they were split 2-3, whereas with a third son the split turned into 1-3-1. ??? Since then it seems to have been close to even, but another time when I had three sons split between two duchy titles, it made the third son a vassal of the second instead of the first for no discernible reason (he inherited one county in each of the two, plus a third in someone else's duchy). My main complaint is that the rules still seem inscrutable. Later on my 62-year-old duke while plotting to steal more land for his two sons. A couple of years later, I find out that the killer was... me. My own son and heir. But why? You were going to inherit most of it anyways. Sure, you're a naive, sadistic and ambitious appeaser, and your brother is somehow your best friend instead of rival, but ugh.

Apparently, using "Buy Claim" to get a claim on the Duchy of Latium and using a claim war to conquer the papacy did not, in fact, conquer the duchy for me. Instead, it made the Pope my Vassal. And it wouldn't let me revoke the duchy because it would leave the Pope unlanded. Problem is, I'm a pagan so I don't see why I care about that. I ended up giving him a county in the middle of nowhere that one of my vassals inherited for some reason so I could take Latium for myself (and give it to my granddaughter). The Pope is still my vassal for whatever reason, though. No idea what I'm going to do with that, I couldn't banish him when he was imprisoned to seize all his wealth, so I guess I'll just keep him around? Broken Cog posted:Any way I can retract a Duke vassal from a King vassal without incurring Tyranny? The duchy is within my De Jure Kingdom. I think you just have to eat the tyranny hit. It's only like 5 Tyranny so it's really nbd, it'll decay in a few years. I have yet to find a way to retract vassals without tyranny.
