CK2 has brought in a new group of "casual" players that don't know the meaning of complexity. :smuggo:

The next CK2 patch should bring back obtuse UI, VIIs resource system, and HoIs time system & research tree for ultimate incomprehensibility.

E: And supply lines.

I just got all the music DLC for 3bux, can someone remind me what the hack to make all the music play as anyone is?

Open CK2/dlc/dlcxx.zip with winRAR or similiar (no need to unpack). Move to music\xx_music_pack.txt and open the file and delete the lines: (Russian Music Pack as example)

code:
song = {
	name = "alexandernevskyridestobattle.ogg"
	
	chance = {
		factor = 2 <- Delete this line
		modifier = {
			factor = 0 <- Change this to 1
Delete this ->		NOT = {	culture_group = east_slavic }
			NOT = {	culture = bulgarian }
			NOT = {	culture = alan }  <- To here
		}		
	}
}
This is the only way I know of

Now you just have to wait. Eventually you should get an event mentioning that the attempt is being made. The flavour text for succeeding/failing is particularly good for the assassination events.

There isn't anything wrong with it, though when playing CK2+ as a Republic you should think about sticking them in places you want to conquer. Sicily especially is perfect for covering the duchy in trade posts for the casus belli.

Not entirely sure if vanilla Republics still have the automatic casus belli for coastal provinces or not, actually!

If they work the same as in CK2+ then having a port inside another county gives you the ability to take the county.

Her father was a Pope so she became Pope at the same time that another Pope was elected. Leading to Popes ruling Popes.

Are there any must-have mods like CK2+ anymore?

Viet, which is part of HIP is an excellent mod if you're looking for a straight vanilla extension. The HIP installer lets you decide which mods to install, and if you don't feel like having some of the overhaul-y stuff then you don't have to add them.

If you want more major changes, then the rest of HIP outside of SWMH is about the best you can get from a polish standpoint, and is more like CK2+ before it went to poo poo.

Full overhaul the GoT mod is far and away the best, nothing more to be said here.

Some of the Norse rulers start at war. Those are most likely the free event troops you get to help achieve your glorious conquest against the silly christians. Make sure to Blot them all.

You won't get event troops back after disbanding them, and can't declare war with them raised.

The tooltip tells you exactly what is needed to make sure they are your vassal once you win! Gaming this system is incredibly easy, though, just hand them a random castle barony in one of your personally held counties before declaring, this will mean they stay a vassal. Then you can just plot to revoke the barony and get 1000%+ support.
