Love the OP. So to the goons who don't work 8-5 EST, how is the expansion? Is it everything I wanted her to be?  On a sad, more depressing note, a follow-up to the "I'm not a racist" thread on Paradox: Holy loving poo poo posted:I was just thinking "hmm why is he so butthurt over it?" then saw your profile picture.To you and your people, stop getting so offended all the time.

What Fun posted:So, I was VERY far into my first game as Ireland, from the start period to 1400. But I guess this patch changed all my technologies and instead of having 3 stars in legalism, I now have one. My demesne size is now 4 instead of 7. I guess I should just start a new game at this point, but I'm kinda pissed. I mean what did you expect from a major patch? I guess if you use Steam yeah there was nothing you could do and that sucks.

NihilVerumNisiMors posted:Balts are just as bad about nationalism/racism as eastern Europeans, who woulda thought. In another thread someone was posting about how the game was critically flawed because the Kingdom of Lithuania includes part of Latvia, even though the Latvians were assimilated but not the Estonians (or something. It was really incoherent).

SkySteak posted:Edit: How the gently caress are you meant to get anything done with Gavelkind? I went from being able to call 2000 troops to barely over 500. It's absolutely crippling. I guess it makes sense to raid as much as possible early on and then just throw Mercenaries at everything? If you keep a single higher tier title than the rest of your titles, your realm will remain intact, so you'll still have powerful realm levies.

Saith posted:Invite someone with a strong claim to the kingdom, or a younger son of the current king, to your court. Once he's there, he won't be able to refuse your marriage proposals, so then you marry him matrilineally to your daughter. If he's in line for succession Say he's the third son) just It's actually a better idea to kill the dude after he has the kid, as the kid then inherits the claim, and thus you can directly place the kid on the throne.

his elder brothers 'til he's the heir. If he's not, go to war for his claim. When he and your princess have a kid, it'll be of your dynasty. Note that unless that princess is your heir, you won't actually gain the kingdom itself, you'll simply be putting a family member on the throne.

Dirty_Moses posted:I forgot for a bit how awesome the Normans were. Yep. If you're Norse and conquer bits of France(maybe England too, or am I crazy?) then it and yourself eventually become Norman. EDIT: I should clarify. If you conquer a Latin-speaking (again, someone correct me if this is inaccurate, it's been awhile) province/area, then the same kind of event that turns dudes Danish/Norwegian/Swedish will fire for you and turn you Norman, although I think you can try to resist it.

chunkles posted:What laws (levies/taxation) does everybody roll with? I see there's a giant mathematical breakdown of them on the paradox forums, but what do you guys generally find is best? My personal favorite is Min/Low(whichever first gives it, depending on if you run CK2+ or not) Feudal Tax, Max Feudal Levies, Max City Tax, Min City Levies, and High Church Tax/Levies. Only a -10/20 opinion penalty, which is easily taken care of, for a ton of tax and troops where it comes best.

It sounds like if you have CK2 specifically from Gamersgate, you'll need to preorder EU4 from GG as well in order to have the included preorder CK2-EU4 converter work with your GG copy of CK2.

TjyvTompa posted:Sounds like you forget about the chancellor improve relations mission? That one is s huge +40 to relations, and since you have few vassals you can always have him working a king vassal. Also do not forget that educate children is also a +20 to relations, you can send any worthless child to them and they will be happy, and if you manage to be their mentor you get a permanent +25 to relations. And if everything fails you can still use your Spymaster.

It was only 5 or so years ago where you were called crazy to expect otherwise.
