jpmeyer posted:So, Zoroastrians. I've had some success so far with Karen. Dude! I have this same problem. I started out as the Count of Gilan (the only independent, single-county Zoroastrian count in existence!) and worked my way up to a pretty respectable duchy, but then the Sassanid King declared an invasion on me, and sent his thousands at me! There's no way I can defend against this because the Duke of Karen got himself holy-warred and turned into a Muslim. How do I survive as Zoroastrian?

Nckdictator posted:So, I just formed the Persian Empire, what's the best thing I can do to prepare for the Mongols? It's 975 right now. The Mongols first spawn with about 60K worth of horse cavalry. Since it's only 975, and you're already an empire, you've got more than enough time to consolidate and respond with your own levies of hundreds of thousands. They won't be too scary, don't worry.

I tried adding new holy sites for all the custom religions. Still no go, mod still crashes when I try to load a country at "Adapting history". It's really confusing, because usually it only does this when there's an elliptical bracket left unclosed, but I've run the Audax Validator a bunch of times and it hasn't come up with anything of the sort.

Lemon posted:Playing as Ireland, I've become the King of Scotland and have almost taken control of all the counties. There is one duchy remaining that consists of four counties. The duke controls one with three seperate counts as his vassals. If he has any holdings other than that county, then he moves to that holding. Otherwise, he becomes unlanded and his vassals become independent. At that point you should be able to offer vassalization to them, if you have good relations with them.

How the gently caress am I and the Karen guy supposed to deal with the Saffarids?

Schizotek posted:Considering theres a total of 3, it's likely based on what sort of disaster your prefer. You can make a custom zorastrian ruler of Khiva, and be murdered by your sunni vassals. You can be Karen and be murdered by the persian blob and khiva, with a side order of Tengri, or you can be....Gilan is it? And be massacred by the Byzantines, Abassids, Persians, or Armenians. In every Gilan playthrough I've done, my main fear is the Saffarids after they finish gobbling up the satrapy of Karen. Even if I help the poor fella or swear fealty to him, he still gets his face curbstomped at some point, and the endless defensive wars really sap my manpower when I should be holy-warring all those Muslims around me.

rt4 posted:After looking in the wikis and the manual, I haven't been able to uncover how rank works. How can I become something bigger than an earl? Usurp or create a duchy. If you own at least 51% of all the de jure counties in a duchy, you can create or usurp it if you have enough gold. The gist of it is that all duchies/kingdoms/empires on the map consist of "de jure" pieces. Chunks whose existence seems to be written into the fabric of the land itself. So a Duchy may consist of one or more de jure counties, which means that if a ruler owns enough of these counties, he can call into existence a Duchy and appoint himself the duke. Afterwards he can wage war to take over counties which rightfully belong within the de jure area of the duchy. The same goes for Kingdoms-- they consist of a number of de jure duchies.

Having your marshals drop out for nine months at random is going to cause nothing but trouble, especially with the dudes who you put in and then take out again when Marshal Joan has had her kid. Also it'd rule out the chance for an enterprising modder to write an event where a child born by a pregnant female army leader gets a special "Born on the Battlefield" trait.

Since there's some demand for "just" being able to choose True Cognatic succession, appoint female councilors and the like, I've made Girl Power, a mod which is sort of the tamer version of CK2+'s Gender Equality mode. It doesn't automatically change every single realm in the game to True Cognatic sucession, but it gives most rulers the option to -- so long as they are female and have high enough crown authority It also removes opinion penalties for female heirs and rulers. Also, comes with a Born on the Battlefield trait given to children born to a woman while leading an army, and the ability for Norse Pagans to designate sufficiently brave, wrothful, cruel, zealous or militarily-trained women as Shieldmaidens.    v-Yup! That was one of the first things I tried. I guess "has_minor_title=" is incompatible with "allow=" for some reason. Too bad. -v

I'm afraid I can't do anything about it! v vIt's even stickier than Muslims. With the Muslims all you need to do is remove the "NOT={religion_group = muslim_group}" restrictions on Ag-Cog/True-Cog succession. But Patrician elective never ever allows women, even if you mod the "designate heir" title to allow you to designate female heirs. It's the one thing I wish they'd revise in the next patch.

LowellDND posted:So I finally united Ireland Okay, go into "decisions" and find the file called "succession_laws.txt". In it, scroll down until you find "succ_true_cognatic". Look for the section marked "allow=" and look for "has_law = centralization_3" and "has_law = centralization_4", and "is_female=yes" Put a "#" in front of those lines. The reasoning behind this was to make it so that if you're a female ruler with a strong enough, centralized enough state, you can choose to rewrite the laws to equalize your gender, because hell, you're the Super Queen! It should work in an already started game, I haven't tried it yet though.

I got an idea for Girl Power v.1.2! How about factions to change the succession law? If you're in an Agnatic-Cognatic/Agnatic kingdom, you could start up a faction to change the law to True Cognatic; if you're in True Cognatic, you'd be able to start up a faction to change it to Agnatic-Cognatic/Agnatic. Maybe female rulers in Ag-Cog kingdoms would have a higher likelihood of joining the True Cognatic faction.

Girl Power v.1.2 - Added a new faction: Institute Absolute Cognatic Succession - Opened up more ambitions to female rulers - Enabled Agnatic-Cognatic and Absolute Cognatic Succession for Muslims - Compatible with latest patch 1.01 Beta   Please run it a while and tell me how it goes! I have never modded factions and faction cb's before, so I'm curious to see if it actually works. The only "change succession law" factions/cbs that exist are the ones to change to Primogeniture, Seniority, etc., rather than to change the Gender laws. I'm not yet sure if it'll work for them as well, so we'll just see how things go! EDIT: Huh. Now that's interesting.

Infinite Monkeys posted:What are good starts besides Ireland? Iceland. You're too poor, small, and out of the way for anyone to gently caress with you besides your other Icelandic neighbor. Start in 1066 as Duke Isleifur with a loyal vassal, or Count Sigfus and try to overthrow Isleifur before he becomes a vassal of Norway. The 867 Icelandic start is a lot harder because you are small and insignificant, so one of the Norwegian petty kings will often go after you precisely because of that so they can form the Kingdom of Norway; you basically have to pray that they ignore you or bribe the big men. Iceland was my first try as a newbie at CK2, and while it was a bit dull since nothing really happened, it was because nothing really happened much that things were slow enough for me to gradually get a grasp on the mechanics. Ireland struck me as having too much action with all the independent Earls, I wanted someplace small and out of the way.

Mordieth posted:So i had this vassal who has two counties. These two counties form a duchy, but the title wasn't created when he got them. After i created the title, if i give it to him, he becomes independent. Why is that? /confused.new.player He cannot create a duke-level title if he's the vassal of a duke. If you, as a duke, create the title and give it to your count vassal, your vassal becomes an independent duke, because a duke cannot have a duke as a vassal.

So I've managed to take over Norway as the jarls of Iceland, and scattered my dynasty all over the kingdom by revoking the various upstart vassals who dared to revolt against their new Icelandic kings. While the kingdom is now no longer in any danger of fracturing due to Gavelkind, my successor was a sort of weakling who had to abdicate the throne to his younger brother, and is now living out his days in the family's ancestral home in Vestisland, as a vassal of the High Chief of Iceland. The dynasty is safe as Kings of Norway, but I'd still like to work back up to being a king again. How should I start? I've never actually stabbed my way to victory before, I'd always done it through declaring independence and working my way back through conquest. Pimpmust posted:Also, someone should totally mod in this decision/execution style for some Blot Variety: I can do that! How about a special decision if you have a prisoner and are zealous/cruel/wroth/impaler ? Sort of the Viking version of the Byzantine castrate/blind.
