The planned invasion and random conquest abilities could make for interesting "How much can you conquer with only one character?" types of games.

Captain Oblivious posted:Is the support for Zoroastrians decent in this DLC as well? Or is it pretty much just entirely Norse Gods with Zoroaster as an afterthought? They get less "stuff" but it seems pretty okay regardless. Councilor positions all have unique names and you can become the loving SAVIOR OF THE WORLD AS PROPHESIED BY ZOROASTER HIMSELF.

In order to start looting you need to raise your army, click on the Toggle Looter button in its little menu on the left while in friendly territory and then just go to town in someone else's provinces. e: You can also loot a province, destroy its fortifications that way and then immediately siege it with a regular army. It's a good way of screwing everyone involved over since the owner gets the Looted modifier and if you hand it off to some rear end in a top hat vassal he'll be in no position to use it either.

Turns out the reason why the Sunset Invasion happens is skraelings capturing some Viking dragonships while they were off exploring Vinland.

Pagans don't gently caress around. The biggest powers in the Old Gods start usually turn out to be Vikings (Mostly Denmark) and some steppe tribe like the Magyars. I'm surprised Christians can survive at all to be honest. Anyway, here's my Pomeranian kingdom in 932. Guess who's who in these exciting times:  All the red is Denmark, of course. I'd have to punch my way through them in order to reach Novgorod and even then, Slavic is only at 20% Authority.  Then again I might just go Christian an start a Great Crusade For The North.

I'm playing in the Republic of Amalfi, which is pretty fun. The Cumans reformed their faith way early in 900. I really wonder what'll happen with the Mongols. Are they going to be Old Tengri or, god forbid, reformed?

Ormond is a Grand City I believe, which nets you a big opinion penalty with whoever holds it for some reason. That might be a factor. Try to revoke the castle in the province so it becomes the capital.

Is it normal for republics to become independent at the drop of a hat? I'm trying to stay true to the Byzantine Empire (and eat up the counts in Sicily one by one  ) but every time some rear end in a top hat revolts against the Emperor the republic turns, and stays, independent.e: I would like to recommend Rebellion again as music for ToG. They got you loving covered on the Viking front but there's also a concept album about MacBeth! NihilVerumNisiMors fucked around with this message at 18:40 on Jun 8, 2013 |

The sheer force a moderately successful kingdom can project is disgusting/amazing. It's 1000 AD and the Byzantine Empire has like 500.000 troops.

Rapner posted:Are there any positive effects of tyranny? I'm about to go attempt taking back Spain from the muslims again, and thinking of using the liberal application of executions to thin conquered provinces. You might get a huge penalty but it vanishes into thin air on newly generated characters. Make sure you can beat your regular vassals in a fight, then go hog wild with revocations. Once everything is in your hands, make some courtiers and hand the duchies to those guys. e: A purge every hundred years or so makes for a happy, stable realm.

Everyone should be able to travel on major rivers, really. Maybe have a flag at a certain date that disallows pagans from using them to simulate the development of river defenses. Hell, you should be able to put trade posts around them.

Protip: If you want to smash poo poo up as the Karen dynasty, your best bet is to swear fealty to the Muslim guy to the east right away, then strongarm him into Elective Succession, then starting a "Your Dude for Kingdom" faction and beating him up. Way easier than going at it from the outside. You can even force-convert him after you win. e: Here's my stuff right before my first ruler designed dude bit the dust.

He never resisted my demand to switch to Elective for example and even if he doesn't fold to your "Character for Kingdom" demand, you can easily beat him. I didn't get the Sunni event until well into the game either, so the Muslims weren't fighting each other much. If the Abbasid shah tries to start poo poo, your best bet is to hold him off in the mountains. I got lucky and was able to select the mountain fighting bonus on my king so it was easy to beat them down to size.

I doubt it since Gilan is too small. You can test it though, those event troops count for a lot right at the beginning of the game. If your overlord gets into a fight with the steppe people to the north early, you might be able to snag the kingdom title. On a different note:  Who' the best heir? You're the best heir.

So, the Seljuks just arrived in my game. I can raise more than their 50.000 troops but on the way up there, they suffer horrible attrition. If I let them do their thing for a while the warscore quickly goes up to 80% so that seems a bit dangerous. Any ideas what to do?

Zoroastrian realms are pretty goddamn stable between the +10 Saoshyant Descendant, +10 Holy Marriage and the many honorary titles you can hand out. I've been giving away kingdom titles and even those guys don't think about screwing with me. The worst situation I was in had me at 29/9 over the holding limit and I soldiered through that too, while at war with vassal levies raised.
