You can also hover over the prestige number requirement and it'll tell you the modifiers to get discounts, if you wanna check quickly in-game!

I wish there was a way they could tell you who is going to inherit a title before you create it when you’re in partition. I have a laundry list of titles I could creat right now, but I never know who is going to get it until I create it.

The trouble is partition's such a fluid state that any info they give you might be incorrect by the next time one of your vassals sneezes in an internal war. Just focus on the few titles your big boy gets and accept that the rest turns to confetti.

He's a little over-tuned IMO, but it's fine. I rarely play as him (I usually prefer Dyre the Stranger if I'm doing a historical Viking), but it's nice having him as an AI that causes trouble throughout western Europe.

It's distinctly possible he got installed as a Claimant by a faction, if so the Title History screen will show you. It's possible he got elected too, but the electors generally don't like voting for foreigners, unless he also inherited a bunch of land in the Empire first. Again, title history will tell you. E: wait his wife got elected? I'm fairly certain it's male-only...

It's usually not super evident when it happens, but the AI can change the gender laws for its titles. This is more likely to happen in the latter stages of the game where there's been lots of cultural and religious back-and-forth. I'm nearing the end of my Nubia playthrough and like half of my vassals have changed their titles to equal or female preference, despite me never really getting around to do anything about it on my own titles. And of course, this is guaranteed to happen if some of the gender-equal faiths really pick up in your game. Adamitism conquered most of Eastern Europe in my match and it was pretty much all female rulers until the Byzantines mopped them up, but the vassals kept being mostly ladies because by that point the cultures had taken some of the traditions that allow for female rulers, I think.

They might just be visiting and not a paid courtier, likewise with a ward, or they're a monk/nun, etc. Also be aware of the differences between 'find spouse' and 'arrange marriage'. If you chose the second option on your own court you'll only be presented with other people you control, and you might be having someone in mind who's in your son's court or whatever. I've had the problem a few times and it's always been me being slightly absent minded about details or UI stuff. edit: the silhouette shows up for your kids, but not for random courtiers. You can still control their marriage with (on PC) the right click context menu. Serephina fucked around with this message at 04:47 on Apr 11, 2022 |

What causes your whole court and family to keep getting lovers pox? Ive seen the disease before, is not uncommon. But in my current game, something happen that made everyone get it and keep getting it Most of my vassals have it. Around 1/5 of a my dynasty of almost 3000 people have it After the third heir I designated also got it, I was so mad at it I entered debug mode and removed it from him and his wife. A decade later when he inherited, he and the wife had I again What is this poo poo? Just he AI being promiscous and adultering compulsively? They could at least have the AI avoid people with venereal diseases when they are fooling around

Well, adultery is still shunned, even if not illegal. And the religion monogamous too, by the way. And is not like it has lustful as a virtue, nothing like that either So yeah, is a bit more liberal than regular Ásatrú, but still is seems to me that is weird that like 75% of my vassals and 20% of a dynasty of thousands of people have the same venereal disease edit: and anyway, I guess is too much to ask for the AI to not seek or accept sex with people who have the "Lovers pox" trait.

I think the one constant in the game is that your vassals and courtiers will never keep it in their pants. I wouldn't even mind if it wasn't for the constant pop-ups telling me to put one or both of them in jail. I could change religions to make it not a crime but that'd mean less strong hooks, and also more STDs apparently? I really hate it when it's my spymaster doing the tattling, like dude/lady I'm paying you to KEEP secrets so *I* can use them. And yeah earlier in the game this just results in lots of bastards but once characters in your realm start getting Lover's Pox through events (I think it's more frequently "born" from the Rakish trait, as mentioned), their slutty, slutty ways will turn it into a nationwide problem within a few generations, if that. I'm already resorting to monking my extra kids (despite already reaching primogeniture) to keep the disease from spreading into my spare relatives, not that it'll help since they'll keep pumping out syphillitic babies, they'll just be bastards too.

Well that was the last time I try to be progressive with my religion for sure edit: but anyway, I always make the religion very liberal whenever I reform or create a heresy, but that was the first time I had this lovers pox epidemic problem.

I mean it happens enough to me under a traditional religion (Coptic, female adultery criminal, male adultery shunned) that I really don't think the religious doctrine makes a huge difference in AI behavior, if it's affected at all. Shunned adultery would still allow you to keep weak hooks, but the pop-ups of infidelity scandals still happen and they're still annoying. If it's only shunned you don't have to worry about losing opinion from being forced to imprison the culprits, though. I'd love to hear the opinions of more experienced players on the pro/cons of 'progressive' doctrines (either switching to a relatively liberal religion or creating one from scratch) since I haven't messed with that aspect yet, but from my limited understanding it goes as follows: Gender norms: Equal's not bad at all, it means you can put talented ladies to work in all council positions (if you don't already have some of the cultural traditions that overrule religious gender norms for a few things, like Knights). It also still lets you choose your succession law so you're not forced into stuff like Equal Confederate Partition, which would be like the worst possible option and you could as well just kiss your lands goodbye. Adultery: As mentioned before, I'm not sure exactly how much sluttier your vassals and courtiers get if you change this. I'd advice against Allowed since adultery is the bread and butter of the hooks you'll keep within your family and realm. Same-sex relationships: I can't imagine a lot of scenarios where Allowed would be like, an actual benefit game-wise - like yeah, if your ruler is gay/bi/lesbian you could have same-sex lovers without having to worry about randos getting hooks on you, but 99% of the time the relationship would count as adultery too (since you'll usually want to marry your ruler ASAP and afaik same-sex marriage isn't an option), so, like, it wouldn't be a huge difference? It'd be cool if you could get a bonus for inviting gay foreigners into your court if your religion's more tolerant of their sexuality, but as it is it's just not a fundamentally significant aspect of the game, unless there's a same-sex event tree I haven't explored. I rarely get hooks from same-sex relationships within my realm, though, so you could make it Accepted for RP reasons and not experience any particular downsides, either. Witchcraft: Not sure about this one - I know there's some pretty wild coven events, but maybe they're more fun if you're doing it in secret? I think witchcraft has some links to useful traits like herbalist or wise man, which you'd definitely want for yourself or your courtiers, so making it Allowed could be a good thing.

what’s the deal where in a war dec screen I saw the newly crowned 10 year old king of Leon had ~3000 military strength, -240 gold, and 0 allies compared to my ~11k strength, so I declare for a county I have a claim on and out of nowhere there’s four 7k armies who came and owned my shamrock rear end all the way back to Munster? did they maybe get a holy alliance cause it’s Insular vs Catholic? it didn’t give me any indication that this would happen

As someone who is dealing with the same thing, it’s very likely they’re hiring holy orders. You should see a notification on the right when a holy order is hired. You’re not going to get a warning about this on the war dec screen because they’re not part of their army. It’s the same with mercenaries. You won’t know they’ve got them until you start a war and they hire them. Sort of something you just have to watch out for.
