Is the support for Zoroastrians decent in this DLC as well? Or is it pretty much just entirely Norse Gods with Zoroaster as an afterthought?

I've been out of the game for a while and I'm wanting to make a go at a long time fancy in this game: A Spanish Caliphate. However, I have very very limited experience with Muslims and how they work in this game so... Any advice on how to accomplish this? General Muslim strategies and/or poo poo to watch out for?

So lets say I'm Caliph of Spain and I conquer Africa. If I set up my second son as King of Africa anf let him go independent, do I still gain Decadence for his heirs and their heirs even though they aren't connected to my empire anymore

After reading the RoI article I'm feeling a little bit uneasy about this expansion I gotta admit, having read the bit about possibly emphasizing reincarnation and traits for leaders claiming to be reincarnation of old badass leaders...to the best of my recollection samsara kind of doesn't work that way, not for Buddhists, Jainists, or Hindus. Basically I really hope these guys do their research because it would be a shame to see it distastefully handled.

DrSunshine posted:My guess would be that it's a very rare, once-in-a-playthrough sort of deal, rather like the Joan of Arc and Spawn of Satan events for the Christians, or attacking Cthulhu as a lunatic Norse. All of the religions have slightly wacky/fantastical event lines, so it'd be fitting for the Buddhists and Hindus and so on to have their own. Yeah I could see it in that scenario easily. Is it bad that I mostly only care about RoI for a potential fix to Decadence

lenoon posted:The game already has a lot of non-historical stuff: a child who is literally the spawn of satan, the option to deal with a portal to hell opening up in a field, Bah 'al drik constantly making his flying machine generation after generation, vikings can find a straight-up +2 axe of smiting. Just roll with it. Super rare gag events (wasn't the "portal to hell" just a sinkhole?) are one thing, the problem/worry Dr Sunshine has (and me!) is that this stuff seems to be taking center stage. That's another thing altogether.

Torrannor posted:What do they need to do? Nobody will join your court of marry someone in your court as long as they have the long religion, so there will be no Hindu bride or Jain councilor for your Irish duke. So no inheriting Indian counties, no alliances with distant Rajas, no easy converting to Buddhism. I don't see any problem? Saxon England, for example, is the most beautiful of rarities and I always love it when it does happen. Do not deprive me of my England voyeurism, game

Ofaloaf posted:The 'butterflies' issue was boiled down to "Islam only enjoyed its enormous early successes because the Byzantines and Sassanids were tired, and that's unlikely to happen in most games, so there's no reason it should be as successful in most games". I then argued that the rise of the Mongols was likewise tied to outside weakness in the case of the Jin-Song divide in China and that westward expansion was at least in part due to just one official in Khwarezm being a huge dick, and yet few people have issues with how the Mongols appear and act in CK2. One response to this was Who in gently caress's name uses Mahomet in this day and age? Not even kidding here, what

You know, after you milk successive Popes for thousands of gold with your obscene amounts of leftover piety, a despot like me starts to feel a little I dunno Indebted? Maybe I should treat the Pope to something nice like I dunno go punch the HRE in the snozz to depose their stupid Antipope or something.

Captain Novolin posted:You need to be neighboring a pagan/muslim county to holy war them, see if there's any claimants you can gobble up from that area that you can give a quick barony/whatever to and then press their claim. Yeah that'd be the smart way to do it, thanks. While I'm on the topic of CBs, isn't there supposed to be a CB to depose an antipope? I don't see any option to beat up the Kaiser for his lovely Antipope and it vexes me. Edit: Did Paradox nerf vassal levies or something along the way? I feel like everybody's giving me breadcrumbs for levies even at high opinion levels, compared to last time I did this Britannian Empire thing. Admittedly that was two expansions ago or so. Things feel pretty balanced in any case just wondering if it's my imagination. Captain Oblivious fucked around with this message at 05:40 on Jul 20, 2014 |

SeaTard posted:Yeah, with SoA they massively nerfed levies from large realms. Just use retinues, you should almost never need to raise levies. Dropping them to minimum will give you a handy relations bonus too. Bah humbug to that I say! I love my big numbers. Nah but seriously I feel like I have to work for things about the right amount now. Pretty happy with where they settled. Seriously why can't I depose this drat Antipope Edit: Speaking of levy laws, aren't they more or less totally redundant if your Crown Law is at a certain point?

Okay so, something is bugging me. I'm out in Estonia killing pagans, and I'm suffering attrition despite the fact that I am both A) Under the supply limit and B) Have a high enough Mil Organization high enough to avoid pagan stronghold penalties. What could be causing this?

Torrannor posted:There can be several reasons. If the province is a non-coastal tundra province and you have no adjacent holding, the natural supply limit can be really low. Or it can be afflicted with a disease, which also reduces the supply limit. I'm just gonna assune it was the last one. Nothing else fits. Also: Playing a Merchant Republic game on the side and wow everything is so odd compared to normal games. Really enjoying being Gotland. Oh, while I'm at it what was the consensus on India?

So, question. If my ruler's culture changes from Welsh to Scottish, I know I'll have to rebuild my Longbow Ranges (ugghhh) which is annoying but manageable. What happens to my Longbow Retinues though? BurntCornMuffin posted:Is it just me or is playing the Karen Satrapy (ie Zoroastrian start) way easier with the India expansion? All my Muslim neighbors have been exhausting their armies with holy wars against India, and I'm about half way to reforming the Persian Empire. To be fair, I think the poor Zoroastrians could use the break.

SeaTard posted:When you get to the point of having every count and duke be your dynasty, Tanistry makes sure you always have your top title. It's very hard to keep one branch of the family in power with it, but if you swap between two branches, you will always get your guy elected. Sounds mostly like a downgrade then, since with Elective you can control the vote.
