I dont think Ive ever had an spouse (male or female) that wanst allergic to cats. Seems to be a very common affliction on the middle ages that only affects people married with people with cats (but never the cat owner)

There are some events that are far too common in the various story cycles, and this is one of them unfortunately. It's been a problem since CK2 though so who knows if it'll change, it's the nature of "random" events.

1) Cats are wonderful. 2) Pet bonuses are nice. 3) Pet interactions are fun. 4) Spouses are generally very replaceable.

I guess is the problem with whole events thing, really If a character was allergic or not (like: if it was a really trait or something like that), than if he/she was we would have that to happen organically or not when you have a cat Instead we have an event "is alergic" with x% chance of happening and than if you have a cat long enough, it will eventually hit

Successfully blobbed my way to Mending the Great Schism and then reforming the Roman Empire. Decided I might as well create my new faith after I just brought Catholicism back together. Did I miss something, or is there no way to change Holy Sites? I was kind of hoping to change things up, like make Constantinople a holy site instead of Cologne or something. I wanted to be my own pope, so that meant lay priests, which was kind of annoying since I needed to give away a bunch of temple holdings. Not really sure it's worth forming my own religion ever again. Guess it was fun to do once. Game ran out of time, which was good because I really didn't have much left to do except take over the entire world at that point. Had about 10 years left when I finally reformed the empire. Had to break truces against Byzantines twice just to do it in time.

It's a bit irritating and I hope they eventually do something similar to the hybrid culture system where you can create a syncretic faith and pick the best bits from each, including holy sites.

Ok, that's what I figured. Honestly, I'd really like something that just allowed for religious blending in a county. I kind of hate the all or nothing aspect, especially if I have culture or religious traits that allow for more religious tolerance. Maybe a hybrid religion, like you said, or even just some percentages of how much each religion is in each county. Culture could work the same way. I guess that might make things too complicated though.

After playing with the new culture reformation thing it really highlights how limited the religion feature is. Religions have all sorts of cool idiosyncrasies IRL but almost none of that is in the game, with barely any flavorful tenets. Or rather, there's a few flavorful things in there but they're generally totally unimpactful, e.g.: Canniablism! that's not a sin anymore, The End. Most of the mechanics are just a big long list of what's illegal and how much you hate others for having a different list. The new culture stuff otoh, even if like half the traditions look really weak on paper, there's enough space to fit a bunch of flavor stuff in (not to mention the interesting requirements/penalties) and roll something rather unique that has an actual effect on your long-term strategy (beyond abolishing the pope and sleeping with your sister) e.g. my culture now has strong opinions on MAA, holdings, buildings, duchy buildings, what my vassals build, and who's on the council. Nice.

You can't create a religious group from scratch either. Honestly it seems more fun to browse the list of existing faiths and find a wacky heresy that only existed for like 5 years in the real world before getting inquisition'd off the face of the earth, and convert to that instead. I don't think the game even requires the faith to properly 'exist' in the map for you to convert to it, so the list is pretty long. But that obviously limits you re: the boosts you might be looking for, particularly since, much like in the real world, offshoots within a major religion often boil down to minutial doctrine bullshit, so, unless you go for the real weird stuff like Adamitism, the differences within Christian or Muslim faiths are pretty minor, both flavor-wise and in terms of their impact on gameplay.

What dictates when the AI will form a Kingdom? For the past 100~ years or so, an Emir has ruled eastern Spain, I switched over to them and was immediately able to form Aragon and Navarre as well as create a gigantic custom Kingdom.

Hey guys, not sure if you recognize the handle but I'm the guy who makes Godherja (and made TNO back in the day) and SomethingAwful came up in a Google search of it. Been meaning to make an SA account for years since I was a Facepuncher but never got around to it until now. Just wanted to say thanks to those who tried the mod and in case it hasn't been said (my wallet's not quite ready to shill for Platinum no thread search sorry) we somewhat recently sent out a massive update that also massively improved performance to vanilla levels. If you didn't like the first few versions, hopefully this one changes / fixes / improves upon enough that it changes your mind

Yea next time I would just switch to an existing religion. Forming a religion is very expensive on the faith side. I did it this time to essentially make the most liberal religion I could. Equal treatment, homosexuality allowed, witches allowed, concubines allowed, etc. I realized I kind of goofed when I did it because my heir switched from my son, who was my third child, to my daughter. So my prep work to make sure my son was ready was wasted. Oh well.

Some Kingdom titles have special requirements for the AI to form them. The AI will only ever form Aragon or Navarre if they are Christian. Others may only be formed by certain cultures, or have some other weird requirements like the AI never creating East Francia/Germany if the HRE exists.

I'm going to force the custom kingdom upon them, they're dealing with so many vassal penalties. It'd be cool if there were alternative kingdom titles in situations like this.

Almost forgot about a funny thing that happened. My 77 year old emperor, who got the 1 year to live notification, and was infirm and melancholic, decided to go out and play a game of football. I guess he wasn’t feeling that bad after all.

You could do all sorts of wonderful things inside the caliphate If not, then its basically build a large coalition; build up your cash reserves; and attack when they are at war with someone else. Do enough damage to their military and the internal revolts start to kick off - so sometimes its worth it to drag a war out so you can beat up their armies more.

I'm the HRE and I had shitloads of piety and wanted the rest of Italy so I pushed out the pope. He still had Djerba on the north african coast, but he was gone from Italy. After I did that, I founded my own Christian religion with no head of faith. Then I went to North Africa (I'm gonna mend the Schism gently caress it) and conquered the kingdom of Africa, then took Djerba. It made the pope my vassal. And now he follows the laws of my religion, even though he's a Catholic - which means he's married now (to his sister??). He even declared a crusade on me, as my vassal. loving weird as hell. I can't get rid of him either, maybe when I mend the schism he'll gently caress off? Moreau posted:Can you swear fealty?

iirc the Papacy is a landless title with its own succession system. It might be literally impossible to remove the pope without a Decision. edit: vvv Yup, that's what happens. Serephina fucked around with this message at 12:40 on Mar 29, 2022 |

Speaking of the pope: after I conquered Latium (using a conquest casus belli irrc), the pope became landless and now he is literally nowhere He has no titles besides the pope title, he has no liege, he is not on anybody's court, and if I press that "go to" button on him nothing happens That wanst supposed to happen, inst it?

For me the biggest draw of temporal clergy is that you tend to have 5 powerful vassals who want council seats and having that 5th seat available makes things much easier to deal with. Also they can't join anything but certain claimant factions iirc. I think it's all about what you need. If you are hurting for money, leave it spiritual. If you are hurting for stability, go temporal.

On this point, I'll note that theocratic vassals can be assigned as your realm priest (provided you make it so you can appoint this position), and they will usually have high learning due to being clergy. These vassals can count as powerful vassals. It's less flexible but it does work. The main wrinkle really is that it's somewhat annoying to make theocratic vassals, you pretty much need to declare a war that seizes every title directly, like a Holy War rather than a claim war, then after winning keep the game paused long enough to find a baron-tier temple holder and give them a county (then a duchy or even kingdom if desired). I should note that having a Head of Faith with spiritual doctrine can also have a downside, as your realm priest will pass on a portion of their income to the Head of Faith before giving you your share, and the Head of Faith's income doesn't get passed to you even if they are your vassal, apart from normal taxable income such as that from their vassals and domain. Though you can get at that income if you use your piety to request gold. Magil Zeal fucked around with this message at 18:17 on Mar 29, 2022 |

On a different side of that, in my last game, I was pretty much on a one man crusade. Aside from the Catholics winning Jerusalem very early, I had converted North Africa, Arabia, and Persia to Catholicism. It was kind of funny seeing the Pope call for a crusade against Punjab, or Darfur. Just didn't feel right, even if those places were still Muslim. I hadn't seen that before, so I figured Great Holy Wars were only to reclaim holy sites occupied by other religions, but I guess you can do them for anywhere.

Yes, there is a faith-specific list of regions with weights that crusades (or any other GHWs) use, from key religious holdings and 'heartlands' to 'stretch goals', once they run out of options, they just declare GHW on whatever is closest https://ck3.paradoxwikis.com/Great_holy_war_weights

I can't unland him, it just straight up won't let me I guess I'll have to give him independence then attack him to get rid. After mending the schism there are no catholic rulers left which is nice

Sometimes there’s a decision to dismantle the papacy. Maybe it’s not firing for you since you’re still a Christian religion? But no pope means no crusades, which is nice. I don’t miss getting crusaded by only the pope who has 1500 troops and no place to raise them so the crusade only ends when “defender controls war target” ticks up to 100% after several years.

How are u posted:1) Cats are wonderful. Don't I know it. I have a ruler in still in his twenties who is on his fourth wife. First soulmate wife died to the court serial killer chain, second wife didn't last more than a few months, then the killer was caught. Third wife lived for several years before dying in childbirth. So from marrying at age 16 to being in his late twenties this ruler lost 3 wives, none through his own actions.

Yes, dismantling the papacy is only available as a decision if your religion is one of Baltic, Greco-Roman, Islam, Norse, or Slavic, and — in case you've created your own off-shoot — does not have a Pacifism or Christian Syncretism tenet. So something nearby but definitely barbaric or generally opposed to Christianity. And of course, you also need to have thoroughly kicked the Pope out of all land holdings and occupied just about all the core catholic territories.

I assume Catholics can't call crusades when the Schism is mended? Maybe not. Yea he's only got about 600 troops so he's hosed. Independence/holy war seems my best bet anyway. One thing I really miss from CK2 is that I can't convert unreformed pagans any more. It's sorta a shame that it's 1380 in my game now and the Scandinavians are STILL astaru for example

trip report on the xbox version - initially no sound or music, had to force quit and restart the game, then it worked - it says it's linked my paradox account, but it looks like achievements are not carried between them, as xbox has their own achievement system - no cross play at all, so you can't start on PC and move to xbox, which is a huge bummer and kind of my main use case I had planned - looks to be multiple versions behind, as playing a quick game as count eudes, I couldn't do "meet peers" interaction (just not there at all) - autobattle seems kind of neat, but I presume the AI is terrible - UI didn't seem that bad and is probably fine with some getting used to, but obviously much harder to at a glance everything than on PC with mouse - very good performance and no real lag at all anywhere; also the game makes my GPU sound like a jet engine on PC and was totally silent on xbox overall I'll give it some time and revisit, but probably not going to get too far into it
