So I'm trying to run the "tweaked titles" mod posted earlier in this thread with the new patch, but I get a bunch of blank event pop-ups (no text, no button to close them and they come 6 at a time) Its the only mod I'm using, and it doesn't happen without it on Traits seem to be referred to by name rather than number in the file, so maybe its because of the change to modding landed_titles? Either way does anybody know of a fix?

Allyn posted:I use it (although I actually merged it with another mod I use) and it works fine for me... But there have been changes made to the landed_titles file and I think I fixed those issues manually, I can't remember. If you grab notepad++ and install the compare plugin for it you can easily fix any issues. Alternatively I can upload my copy tomorrow if you want. It does have some stuff added but that stuff will be completely inconsequential on vanilla -- specifiying holy sites for the Muslim heresies, iirc, which are just duplicates of their parents' ones (so even if it does read them then functionally there won't be any difference). Thanks, that probably would have been smarter but I ended up just copying the new landed_titles and adding the allow = { OR = { yada yada to everything myself. Maybe I'll go back and do that just to make sure I didn't miss anything.

I figured it was something like that. Anyway, an actual question: What duchies make good republics? I've never actually played one so I'm not sure. In my latest game I set up crete, cyprus, mallorca, cherson and orkney as republics in addition to genoa and venice. For whatever reason though orkney has not made a single trade post despite being a republic a lot longer than some of the other ones. They're still making a ton of money somehow however.

Can you spread tech in counties you don't hold personally? I don't think you can. I've found the best way to go about it is to tech up trade practices in you capital and hold onto the counties you want to make into trade republics yourself for a meaty demesne bonus (and your steward bonus if you're so inclined) until they hit 2 and then hand them off. It might be faster to just revoke the titles back if you can afford the tyranny.

CapnAndy posted:Tech spreads to adjacent counties, so anything you advance in your capital will spread throughout your desmesne and also to any counties adjacent to your capital, and from there it'll spread to counties adjacent to your desmesne and counties adjacent to the other adjacent counties, and so on and so forth until it's everywhere. Main Paineframe posted:Tech always spreads to adjacent counties, regardless of who the holder is. The only advantage to personally holding counties is that tech will spread between the counties in your demense as if they were adjacent, no matter how far away they actually are. You can send councillors to spread tech in any county in your realm, but I can't remember how that works or where you're supposed to put them for maximum effect. "Spread tech" was referring to the councilor mission to spread tech since that's what he was talking about. I hadn't been able to get on CK since posting until now, but I just double checked and you can only send them to counties you personally hold.

a pipe smoking dog posted:Should you put a spread tech councillor in a high or a low tech province? I've always been vague on that. They only add a bonus to the rate of tech spread TO that county, so short answer: low tech. If you open the county window and mouse over the tech icons it will show you the progress being made on each tech of that type and a breakdown of the contributors and bonuses. If it's 0.0%/year sending your councilors there isn't going to do anything. This can also be seen by opening the tech screen and mousing over a given county... if the cogs are spinning progress is being made and a councilor can speed it up, if they are greyed out you aren't gaining anything on that tech. At the start of the game I generally keep them in my capital and send my spymaster to study tech somewhere like Constantinople (which causes it to spread tech to my capital). Once the capital is teched up they can be used to spread it around your demesne. If you intend to move your capital it can be a good idea to send your councilors there ahead of time. edit: StashAugustine posted:or having your spymaster spy on a higher-tech county (not sure if this is capital or all.)

Mercenaries if you can afford them or if you have kids you can marry off to make allies MAYBE you can call one in. Otherwise all you can do is disband (in your territory) wait for your levies to replenish and raise them again. If you can't raise enough to siege him you are going to be in for a long possibly futile war.

Parallax Scroll posted:That didn't seem to work when I tried it. I gave my sons duchies, and one of them inherited my capital anyway. If you are holding onto a lot more counties than your extra sons have it will start handing some of them out too. You just need to keep an eye on the "titles lost on succession" alert up top. When you feel like you might bite the bucket soon you can then a) give more other land to the son(s) that are going to get the counties you want to keep or b) (probably better) give some counties away to randoms until the alert goes away. You don't always NEED to be at your demesne limit. Managing gavelkind isn't too bad once you are used to it. You just either need to be expanding fast enough to get all your sons equalish chunks of land or start "taking them out" of the line of inheritance. I've spent most of my time in this game playing unreformed pagans though so

Going to create Jerusalem at the same time but wondering if there are other kingdoms out there that are going to screw up my plans.

In my current game I am the Norse/Norse ruler of the Byzantine Empire, following the inevitable rebellion that happened after pressing my claim I left the orthodox dukes that didn't rebel alone. Well now 100 years later it turns out a catholic Karling got control of Adrianopolis at some point, and between the the 2 counties, gave 5(!) holdings to the Knights Hospitaller. It's going to take forever to weed these jerks out one holding at a time. Karlings

For claim wars pushing someone else's claim: They will become your vassal if a)the claim title is a de jure vassal of you or b) they are of your dynasty and the title is of a lower rank than the one you hold Bort Bortles posted:I'm pretty sure you dont because a neighbor would just be able to trounce you and your lack of levies, unless that changed recently.

You need to control every single holding in the kingdom for it to drift into your empire, every barony, every city and every temple. Check to make sure your counties don't have holdings controlled by outside powers. Given those kingdoms, there might be some holdings controlled by christian holy orders hiding out there. Further, counties don't drift by themselves, duchies can drift into kingdoms but wont just drift into your empire unless you make them drift into a kingdom that is already de jure part of your empire. Also if they were drifting into something else before they will have to drift out of it first before starting to drift into something else.

Mister Olympus posted:Really? I always falter as Harald because either I play it safe in uniting as much of Scandinavia as I can before declaring on the Karling blobs that all drag each other into prepared invasions (and thus get the holy sites but don't have enough moral authority for a reform because in the mean time all the AI fucks have lost a bunch of holy wars)--or I jump too early and the Karlings just steamroll the population of Scandinavia. Eh, none of independent norse duke starts in 867 are really hard. I'd put Fairhair as one of the easiest since you can gobble up land and form a kingdom pretty quick and nobody is really going to come after you being surrounded by norse pagans... I've put myself on the the throne of the Byzantine Empire in the 2nd generation pretty easily starting as Fairhair. The ones in the British isles are no brainers since that is one of the safest and easiest places to expand and you start with a shitload of troops. You can include Haesteinn here too. The ones staring in Russia have tons of easy expansion, Dyre has to be careful about sharing borders with Hungary because they always seem to come after your land instead of weaker neighbours, but Khazaria usually makes a good invasion target. Really I'd say snake-in-the-eye has it the toughest since Jylland might actually put up a fight and if you do take him you now share borders with the Karling blob. Worst case though you can solve that by subjugating someone in Norway, moving your capital there and pretending to be Fairhair. Once you get enough land as anyone and your retinues kick in its easy mode, if there aren't any good conquest targets then you are just raiding for fat loot. e: Reforming is really not a big deal until you get to the point where there is nobody on the world map worth fighting over a single county TheBlackRoija fucked around with this message at 09:17 on Sep 9, 2014 |

Maybe I am just used to it but Gavelkind is really not that hard to deal with (from a norse perspective). Only have one of your highest level titles, give some land to your sons younger than the one you want to be heir, kill anyone older than him. Stabbing is the easiest way and its not hard to make a ton of cash raiding, except for maybe your 1st/2nd rulers. But aside from stabbing there's also having them lead your armies, sending them to the varangian guard - it may kill them outright, give them traits that make them more likely to die on their own, or if they convert more people are likely to join your brother's/wife's/concubine's plot to kill them, and for children, send them to be educated by someone who has joined a plot to kill them for a freebee (also don't auto-stop plots for this and other reasons). If you want to be super game-y about it you can basically choose when to die by getting revenge stabbed. I am interested to see what elective-gavelkind turns out to be. Since it is supposed to be worse I am guessing you still play on as your eldest but younger sons (or your vassals) have the potential to take you top level title. That no-war independence thing just seems like a massive "gently caress you" to the player if it turns out to be true.
