I think Great Holy Wars are seperate from Prepared Invasions. I'm not sure that Great Holy Wars (or any of the Crusade equivalents) have a realm size component (though I've never actually seen a successful one so I don't know >__>)

Nightblade posted:Actually if I'm reading the battle_events.txt file correctly Berserker trait makes you immune to death, maimings and wounds in battle. You can still become incapable due to a blow in the head in battle, though. Unless there's some special death events for berserkers it's an extremely good trait for a commander, and it does correspond with IRL lore. I've had a character die whilst having the Berserker trait.

Cumfart Vortex posted:I have a question about the 867 AD start, why doesn't the Magyars get a second doomstack after their invasion, does it upset the balance too much? Because historically it's correct to give them a second one, only the Vikings were bigger plunderers of the time. The Magyars practically devastated entire France, Germany, Northern Italy, Eastern Spain, Bulgaria, Byzantine Empire in a century of plunder and raids, the Byzantine emperor paid the magyars taxes for fifteen years to keep them away. Their armies were almost always victorious, they even beat the whole Imperial Frankish army in 910. I know I might sound biased because of my nationality, but I'm basing this on history. I thought they did get a second doomstack once they took the decision to become Kingdom of Hungary, and, well... http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?692303-Big-Red-Blob-Hungary-growing-out-of-control-after-ToG People in that thread mention possibly locking their second doomstack to only being able to raid, which would be great - as you say, the Magyars were huge raiders, but at present, they just steamroll conquests with that doomstack.

Nightblade posted:Would expanding the map towards India make sense for the period? It would make a fair amount of sense. From the 8th century onwards, Muslim invaders - first Arabs and then Turks started encroaching into northwest India, and modelling India (for a given degree of accuracy) with the base feudal mechanics of CK II wouldn't be too difficult. Although of course, you'd then have some people whining about their pure Nordic realm being overrun by a horde of Tamil courtiers.

Cologne has 22 in 5 counties (right near Flanders, although 11 counties will almost certainly go over the demense limit). Holland has 17 holdings in 4 counties and Brabant has 16 in 3, so if you get your legalism high enough you can partner that with Flanders. Ha, darn, I'd forgotten about Flanders since it starts as French... and somehow missed Brunswick entirely. Thanks!

Has anyone tried modding Prepared Invasions for non-Vikings? It sounds like it would be a godsend for helping create large armies for Crusades, for instance, but would probably break the game if it was just flat-out a thing Catholics could do.

Torrannor posted:Just a thought, but Haraldr Fairhair (Yngling) is one the few rulers whose dynasty would still be important in 1066. The others are of course Rurik, the Abbasids and Hashimids in Arabia, King Almos Arpad of the Magyars/Hungary, the House Cisse ruler in Ghana, the Bagriatoni King of Georgia and Björn "Ironside" af Münso of Uppland. I believe the Capetians are around in 867 - I think they own the Duchy of Anjou (but no counties in it) and some random counties in the Duchy of Burgundy. The Premyslids (Dukes of Bohemia in 1066) are counts of Prague in 867. Those are the only two I've spotted so far.

Click on the coat of arms that is his duchy, and tick the "De Jure" box in the top right - the counties that are De Jure are ones he'll want to control. You can make him not mad by either giving him the county if you own it, or using the "Transfer Vassal" option in the Diplomatic Menu and selecting whichever dude owns the county. quote:How long can I generally raise a levy before they start hating me?

The contest winning events are a bit disappointing. The Mande and Suomenusko ones are alright, but the third winner is a horribly broken Norse event which gives you two choices (and a third if you're greedy) - one choice gives you 100 gold and prestige and the Zealous trait, the second costs you 100 prestige and the third costs you 100 prestige and gives other Pagan rulers a negative diplomatic modifier towards you. Meanwhile the quite nice Slavic events get the shaft, and the Slavs continue to be really anemic so that the already really awesome and fun-to-play Norse get more goodies. :/

A mixed event where there's no standout good option is great (and/or a mod where traits aren't just mostly good/bad mirrors of each other), you can choose whichever one fits your character best without taking a big gameplay penalty as a result.

Baronjutter posted:I know paradox hasn't stepped up officially, but are there any mods that improve or totally rework how broken the system is? When I play, I set all Decadence gain to 0. I find that Islamic realms are sufficiently kept in check by the fact that whenever a new ruler succeeds his father, he tends to have 15+ brothers/cousins/uncles that all have Strong Claims on his titles, and unruly vassals are very quick to press them even if the relatives in question aren't landed/able to raise substantial opposition on their own.

Knuc If U Buck posted:Or maybe that's how Muslims historically dealt with brothers and uncles once they inherited. It wasn't. Even the Ottoman system that this is based on did not work exactly like Decadence in CK II. Both the Iqta system used by Islamic states during the Medieval period and their methods of succession would be hard to accurately represent in CK II (just like a 'proper' Byzantine Empire that is less feudal than its CK II depiction), but the system used for Islamic succession in CK II is not accurate, it was only used by the Ottoman Turks, and only then outside of the scope of CK II

It's a new computer and a fresh install of CKII (twice even because I tried to follow someone else's solution to no avail) but I can't figure out why I can't use any of my DLC. This happened to me, and though I have a mac, so the situation might be different, I solved it by checking CK II's Properties in Steam (Right-Click it in your library and a menu will show up, Properties is at the bottom), and de-selecting 'Enable Steam Community In-Game'. Hope that works for you.

There are pagan counties on the Baltic coast that I can't take, yet every coastal Catholic county in England/Ireland seems to be up for grabs. It originally applied to all coastal counties, even pagan, but Paradox patched it because the Vikings were forming Baltic empires ridiculously easily, crushing all Slavic, Romuva and Suomenusko opposition.

I don't know all the conditions, but when I played the Byzantines in 867, I caused Jihads to activate as soon as I owned the Duchy of Jerusalem - which also caused the Bektashi (Sunni Holy Order) to form. The Orthodox Holy Order (Knights of the Sepulchure, I think?) formed once I'd converted the county of Jerusalem to the Orthodox faith.

YouTuber posted:The only thing that stopped the Mongols going to the Atlantic was a succession crisis. Subutai literally was preparing to take on the entire Holy Roman Empire with just 20,000 troops. Just through a combination of avoiding bad fights, stringing troops out and just being faster than Infantry and Heavy Calvary they blew through all of Persia, Georgia, the Russian steppes, and Hungary. That's not quite true - at least, there's more to it than just the succession crisis. The Mongols stopped advancing further into Central/Western Europe because the terrain wasn't suitable for their particular breed of horses, and the costs of advancing were greater than any possible reward. If you look at the Mongols' invasion of Southern China, they used largely infantry armies of conscripted Chinese and Korean soldiers because the terrain was likewise really unsuitable for their traditional cavalry, and China was obviously a shitton richer than Europe during that time period, making the expense of its conquest worth it.

The Indian portraits look better than Mediterranean at least (but Paradox pls consider a separate Dravidian portrait pack in the future when you have time, having all of India share the same facepack would make about as much sense as French and Bedouin characters sharing the same facepack), and the Turkish portraits look loving fantastic.

Of course the proto-feudal structures wouldn't be 100% accurate but it's not like we have that now anyways. I think it'd be fun. There is one called 'Saeculum Obscurum' or something like that, but it's a few patches behind as the mod creator focused on university studies instead, though he's said he plans to work on it again soon.
