Oh my god the become king ambition is far far far too good. I became King of Finland in less than 15 years jut by using the CB on everyone. You spiral out of control so fast. I started as the Kola Sami. King of Finland by 880. Now I'm poking the Ruriks trying to get that last holy site.

Gavelkind succession is bust as poo poo. I've made the kingdom of hungary, neatly portioned out all of my vassals into counts then given counts ducal titles and the appropriate vassals. I own Bulgaria, Hungary, Taurica (the land but not the title) and Wallachia (same as Taurica). I am also Carpathian Emperor. When my Emperor dies, my heir gets Carpathia. His half-brother gets Bulgaria. The Wallachian and Taurican vassals still swear allegiance to me. And my brother swears allegiance to me. However the Kingdom of Hungary disappeared. All of the vassals shattered into independent counties, with the dukes still existing but having no vassals. I offered vassalisation and almost all of them accepted. But wtf? I had to re-make the kingdom and give the vassals back to the right dukes. How did that even happen? Antinumeric fucked around with this message at 10:53 on Jun 14, 2013 |

Dr. Sunshine, I'm trying to play Sonendar but there appears to be an invisible event firing constantly that changes the succession law. This means all of my vassals have upset by succession law change reaching the -3000's. I'm playing as the Duchy of the Bow atm. Any ideas where I can find and delete this event? edit: think I've found it. I'm just deleting the aaqiut file for the moment. Antinumeric fucked around with this message at 19:50 on Jul 4, 2013 |

Sometimes I leave games running in observer mode to see what happens. Sometimes what happens is wonderful.  For some reason the Golden Horde spawned in Italy. It was the furthest West the Ilkhanate had come. So it might be something to do with that. The Wendish Empire is less than thirty years old. Turns out Lithuania, Poland and Pomerania were ruled by the same family. Although it seems to have been a three province duchess that began to take land back from the Ilkhanate whenever there was internal fracture that inherited and formed it. Sweden is all de-jure Norway, apart from Uppland. The ERE seem to think there is better stuff in Persia than the Pagan west. Oh, the Religion map?  Every religion apart from Romuva and Suomenusko has reformed. Catholicism and Sunni Islam are dead. Somehow East African pagans have taken over the all of east Africa and an empire has stood there for over two hundred years. I have no idea how, as a player I could never manage that feat. The Mali empire is frequently troubled with internal conflicts, but no-one seems to take advantage of it. England and Frisia have been Norse since the 900's. I really want to take this save into the EU world. I hope there is a converter. And I still have another 150 years to run. Antinumeric fucked around with this message at 21:18 on Jul 23, 2013 |

eh4 posted:A slightly fairer explanation: Nobles would pay for a chapel on some land and prayers for their soul to avoid Purgatory for perpetuity. Modern minds would see this as a con but noone forced them to do this, it was a religious fashion for those who could afford it. Since there were no "generations" to hand these chapels down to, the Church would improve the land (often not the best), brew ale, keep sheep etc to keep the money and prayers going. And build stuff, to spend the money. There you are. Pillars of the Earth covers a bit of this fairly well for a historical fiction novel.

Who has seen Great Moravia survive past 50 years? In my game I took a look to find that Great Moravia still exists as a primary title, not only that but they seem to have taken up the mantle of Hungary (which no longer exists) become Tengri, and conquered Pomerania and Poland. I wonder if they get unique events in EUIV... I love it when the AI becomes supercompetent randomly.

And also declaring wars on their own counties. What the gently caress is going on? Your crown laws only affect duchies that are de jure part of your empire/kingdom. So ones that have no integrated yet can war all they like. You probably just got an unpopular ruler.

Man the Khazars don't catch a break. Since their title is um.. Titular, they get reduced levies on top of an already difficult starting position. Being Invaded by literally every single neighbour is a little tricky when you can raise 4k including event troops.

Mickey McKey posted:Actually it would be. If you can get enough warscore through fighting their army you would not need to siege. Yeah I had my ruler die when his only daughter was 2, sat through a regency raiding, finally hit 16 with 600 in the bank. Conquered two duchies before dying in childbirth. 16 years later conquered all of Lithuania and reformed the faith off the gold I saved. Just took my time a bit more. Now to make the Wendish Empire. edit: Romuva is without a doubt the easiest faith to reform.

Datasmurf posted:So yesterday I started up a jewish game. Started as a Khazar, worked my way down to Arabia and got Jerusalem and all that jazz just so I could make the Kingdom of Israel, build the third temple and get zealots. Everything's fine and dandy and I'm always out conquering new stuff and fighting with the muslims. Then year 1000 comes around and I'm over in Italy fighting for control of the country when the Seljuk's come. I think the Seljuks invading with an army of over a million men might just be a bit of a bug.

Every time a new ruler comes to the throne in my empire some faction with 1 member declares revolt. Then every single noble in my realm joins it. Even the ones with 70+ relations. I was able to put it down before but this time I was in the middle of a holy war and my 6k stack got obliterated when attacked across a river in mountains? Just gave up on that ironman game.

Mailer posted:Tell me how the hell you managed this because it sounds like the best thing and I want to try it. I used the ruler designer. It makes for a very hard start surrounded by enemies, I ended up helping reform the faith and released all my non-Spanish vassals. Then slowly worked to build Hispania. If you don't want to use the ruler designer there are a bunch of ways. Raid Navarre, kidnap some concubines and use your seer to convert them and have them raise your children. Or you can start as Navarre, fabricate a claim on a Norse province with a temple, claim it, have the Gothi in the temple raise your kid, hopefully they will change the religion and not the culture. Once you have a Norse ruler in power I think you can revoke the temples and cities, and newly created rulers will have your religion. You will be attacked a lot, and you only have two mercenary companies you can access. It is very hard. Basically whenever anyone is fractured in a civil war take advantage and use that to attack.
