Excelzior posted:striking the Pope down makes him all-powerful This is actually true. I abandoned an Ironman game after restoring the Roman Empire because I'd unlanded the Pope, couldn't dismantle the papacy as my bespoke Christianity, and couldn't land him again, either. So now the bastard is hanging out with a holy order and declaring Crusades on behalf of his almost extinct faith regular as clockwork, and it's immensely tedious to deal with. Also, please, for the love of god, give us a way to get out of Clan and into Feudal governments, I beg of thee. Or tweak Clan governments to be less like a blown glass filigree perched on the edge of a cliff in a hurricane.

Imperial Church IS a cool title, which is why it's now mine. now I just gotta figure out what to do with the power of 3 holy sites and an empire that has crushed the Papacy, with only 51 years left of game time.

I saw a poster on another form saying they always downloaded mods to change characters names in crusader kings. I thought that was a great idea and am looking forward to a rivalry with duke PoopNButte. It might even lead to me remembering who the hell everyone is.

Man, Tibet is a dreary place. The absolute best terrain you'll be getting is drylands (-5% development), though most of it is hills and mountains, including the capital county. drat easy to defend once you have it though.

If I'm a count and my liege is a duke, can I only also become a duke by doing an independence war against them? Or is there some way of blackmailing them into giving me independence or something?

Or is there some way of blackmailing them into giving me independence or something? You could form a faction to get independence with your fellow vassals, which if your combined strength is greater than your liege's they may just let you go. But there's no simple "blackmail" trick here that I'm aware of, usually you'll need to resort to war.

I don't know if having a hook will make them more likely to acquiesce?

It's probably because I'm a gregarious diplomat and reveler who can't feast because I'm trying to lose weight. What else is there in life... My gay wife won't even be my friend.

Ok, which trait is it that makes you randomly confess secrets to your "friends", so I can never take it again. They always immediately either blackmail you, or expose it for no reason.

This might be a newbish complain but the dogpiling of wars is a bit much sometimes. also, I don't know why they have warscore in this game because its either get to 100 to win or get 30 to white peace. That's it.

There are warscore modifiers, if you get the Martial perk you can force demands at 90. Also there are different categories of earned warscore with caps

Alright after messing around with a Crossbow-Pikemen MaA combo I have decided it is Bad. Or at least slightly less optimal than Pikeman-Armored Footmen; you do get slightly more damage out of them, but way less toughness, and the improved counter setup is cancelled out by the harsh terrain penalties and needing a sub-par second building line. In other news though, they really should change the way battle warscore is calculated in the late game. As fun as it is to slaughter the 20k armies of my vassals over and over, you probably shouldn't need 6 straight years of it to win a Liberty War.

The only option in response is to stack as much -%stress gain as possible, such as with Confidents. Though that trait combination is absolutely awful.

This teleporting armies thing is super overpowered. Once you have a beachhead part of your realm anywhere boom, you can bring the hordes anywhere. I'm still stuck Tribal, but that also means I've arbitrarily started eating France as Novgorod  Getting some kind of beachhead in a whole other part of the map is great for culture too. I took the Asataru holy site in Holland, turned it Russian, and that rapidly accelerated my innovation exposure.

You can move the rally point next to a rebel army, take them out, disband, move, and take out the next one. You still have to wait for levies, but MAA and Mercs spawn in full, instantly.

Strung out all the time, having to carefully manage your constant stresses by becoming addicted to sex and drugs and who knows what else until you still probably die a young wreck. Kings with all the stress producing traits are rock stars.
