loving poo poo, my idiot loving vassals are literally causing my army to die from actual attrition due to dogpiling wherever they go with all their stupid levies and bottoming out my supplies. How do you turn this poo poo off??

The actual First Crusade was a long list of events that absolutely should not have worked out the way that they did. Would have liked to see more narrative or gameplay elements to reflect that

Mukaikubo posted:So are all you people saying "just get your powerful vassals to like you and you'll be fine, ez" playing a different game/patch than me?! There's obviously something wrong with factions, just as you have discovered. They did not behave like this in earlier versions. Specifically your vassals love creating and joining factions and they also take their sweet time leaving factions once they hit 100 relationship. There were a bunch of faction related changes in the patch notes and seeing how this is possibly one of the buggiest expansions ever released by paradox I assume they will fix it, sometime. For now you can make your own religion and allow polygamy, then spam out kids constantly so you have lots of unmarried women to use as alliance makers when your current emperor dies. The factions trigger so fast that actions like making them your friend or blackmailing them is too slow, you have like 8-9 months from succession until they trigger. For fighting civil wars ignore the AI armies if you can, they will just run around forever. Siege down the enemies holdings instead, the capital of the leader of the faction first. It's really frustrating and it's not just you, ignore the people who say it is easy, they don't know what they are talking about.

TaurusTorus posted:How are you supposed to fight crusades? I have enough troops, its just supply runs out and then I'm wiped out. I guess a broader way of putting this is what do I do about supplies? Splitting an empires army into 9 provinces gets annoying. Like if you're trying to actually win the crusade for God and Glory, that's basically totally out of your control given the amount of people involved. A better question would be "How do I perform well in this crusade so the pope loves me and gives me a fat slice of everything, win or lose?" Then the answer is usually to show up early, so early that you set sail long in advance that you landed the day war is declared, and be the first guy sieging. Allies and enemies trickle in, but since you where there first you are considered the guy leading the merged stacks and will get credited with everything. If your own supplies run low, it's not a biggie if you're tiny just keep hanging around as the allied stacks will pushed the merged average back into good standing. Accept super-heavy personal troop casualties, but make sure your player character bails before getting wiped. From there, the derpy AI may or may not take Jerusalem but once it's all over the pope will love what you did and you'll be the biggest war contributor with a mountain of gold to compensate you for your lost dudes. I've personally done this at least twice so it seems semi-reliable? -------- My own question: I'm doing an Ironman run and am almost ready to Elevate the Isle of Mann, but I gave it to a vassal and can't retract while (not-maxed-authority-) tribal. Can I just release him as independent and reconquer or is there some sort of force Truce? If so, better ideas? My guy's getting old and won't live long enough to push tribal auth to max.

Tribal Authority only needs to be high to Revoke. And as a Norse you can break the cooldown on authority increases. Grant Independence does have a truce.

My game just threw me for a loop, but not a totally unpleasant one. I started by making the Duchess of Minsk and marrying the unmarried, heirless Duke of Greater Poland, so that my heir would also get his duchy. I spend my reign getting the Kingdom of White Rus' and then decide to sit pretty, since I've done plenty of blobbing in the past and would now like to just see how the game goes when I'm not constantly expanding, plus I don't want to lose a run to faction shenanigans. First ruler lives to her late 70s, outliving her first kid, and when she finally passes I do indeed inherit the Duchy of Greater Poland (about a month after they lost a province in a war, but oh well). Somehow, my new ruler converted to Judaism, which makes no sense to me, because both I and the Duke of Greater Poland were Slovanskian, and naturally my vassals weren't too pleased about that. However, this did allow me to get an alliance with Khazaria, so my vassals being displeased carried a lot less weight when I can summon huge armies for this era from just over the border. Plus, if my current ruler holds on long enough, I should be able to feudalize without having to reform my religion or convert, and I had my guardians convert my kids back to Slovanskian so they aren't perpetually facing uprisings. And I got a unit of Horse Archer MaAs, so now I need to figure out how to make them into killing machines, or whether I should even keep them around instead of going all-in on Druzhina. The only downside is that no one will voluntarily be vassalized by me since I'm of a different faith, but hey, can't have it all.

There are exactly zero buildings that buff Horse Archers as of this patch. They're very very very good if you'll be fighting in Steppe/Drylands/Plains, and in the early game there is nothing better, but as time goes by there are better alternatives. Keeping one stack of HA around purely for their pursuit value is not a bad option at all though.

In the latest edition of Intrigue Is Bad Actually, it turns out my son was banging my sister, and also my daughter with 100 opinion of me was attempting - extremely badly - to murder me, god only knows why. What's worse, these things barely even matter. You'd think for such actions there'd be serious outrage, but nobody even cares. PittTheElder fucked around with this message at 10:18 on Feb 21, 2022 |

If I start as a feudal count under a liege who holds a clan duchy title, is there a way I can get that title but have it be a feudal version? Can I declare independence, then form a new (feudal) duchy title if I hold enough de jure counties?

I started playing as the East Francia Karling guy. The first time I opened my court, the event where a fake foreign princess wants to marry your heir occured. She was pretty with good stats so of course I let her. Later when I got to play that heir (the Stammerer), he had divorced her but still kept her around as his lover (not sure what lead to that development) and continued having like 6 more unacknowledged children with her. Anyway after the Stammerer died his son by that princess had the bright idea to marry his own heir to his bastard aunt, so now all their children are inbred. Since my character doesn't know about the bastards, there's nothing I can do about it, but fortunately for me it just means weaker vassals.

Court tutors give scheme power, which increases the speed of the learn language. If you hover over the squares in the scheme interface you can see the bonus. Small tip— targeting a stubborn/ambitious person increases your success chance! It’s small but it helps

If you're chaste its like -20, and a few other odd stats make it stressful and difficult. I get that being outgoing is great for picking up a language but I think they copied pasted it from seduction scheme or something. Because everything in CK3 is nefarious puppetmaster stuff, even your Spanish homework assignment.

Oh I forgot to mention that I can't seem to make the "have child learn a language" interaction to work properly at all. It brings up the two-person matchmaking like you get with marriages and guardians, but the popup doesn't seem to want to let me pick my child on either side at all. If having a 45% (with a +10% here and there) chance every few years to learn a language is intended behavior, then... I dunno, goddamn that seems harsh.

The child learn language interaction works well for me, I have them learn all my vassals languages so they don't hate them later, seems to work! Also much like real life the learn language success chance is higher for a child.

Is there a way to swap duchies with a vassal? I have 5 total in my kingdom, and I'm holding 2. I'd like to swap one with a duke, but I can't figure out how to do that without granting one and then revoking the other, and I'm worried the revoke part is going to set off a bunch of tyranny triggers.

Nope, you have to revoke and grant. Which means all vassals getting mad at you, not only the affected one Unless you make yourself a claim on the title you want to revoke using your court chaplain, than only the vassal will be pissed (but that will be compensated by he loving you for the title granted)

Elias_Maluco posted:Nope, you have to revoke and grant. Which means all vassals getting mad at you, not only the affected one Thanks, that's what I figured. I could probably make a claim since I hold a few counties inside the duchy I want, I'll have to try that out. I'd rather not set off a tyranny war, but I could probably manage it if I do.

What often works is fabricating a claim on a county where you know they'd refuse the revoke, and after beating them down you can seize the whole duchy, without incurring tyranny.

Im actually finding this game more fun than Stellaris to just mess around in with the most recent update. Randomize Faiths and Unrestricted Diplomatic Range combine for some pretty funny looking maps, even if it makes the game somewhat easier. Are there any decent Workshop mods aimed at just messing around with the world?

Just pulled off the Elevate Isle of Man decision with Haesteinn. I was afraid he would die or king charles would finally murder him, but nope. He lived to 104, was gout ridden for 40 years, had a leg removed in his 80s (which didnt help with the gout), and was disfigured from small pox. Once i knew he had one year left, i sent him to the brothel for stress relief and rakish. He was often injured in battles, but shrugged that off. Now i continue my conquest of all the islands. This was my 3rd restart. Previous attempts were thwarted by a very early assassination (pushed off a boat), and a severe groin injury in battle that left him as a eunuch and only the one child he starts with.

drat, back to crashing on startup every time again. I deleted everything and did a clean reinstall, checked firewall access, and put all the settings on low, and now I can get to the main screen, but it immediately crashes as soon as I try to load or start a new game. So I guess my mission to form the North Sea Empire will have to wait. The gameplay bugs don’t tend to bother me that much, but all the instability and performance issues suck. New DLCs for CK2 were always full of bugs but I remember it being pretty stable overall, even on the lovely old laptop I had then.
