Kayten posted:Has anyone even had Ivar not live to at least 85? He's the best, almost always gets Berserker, and murders everyone. After starting Jorvik and doing alright, watching AI Ivar just destroying all over the place I loaded up and tried him out. Died in battle twice in a row. I went back to White Shirt and after conquering most of England and Ireland he was cut down in a berserker rage at the rip old age of 69 and his already elderly son with 8 marshal took over the throne. He crushed 3 rebellions and 2 invasions from English Dukes, turned his army back to the Irish duke who killed his father and destroyed him, coming out the other side with the berserker trait and unyielding. All vassals are either in jail or in love due to crushed revolt bonus at this point. The Blot was amazing.

Is there any way to force vassals to end a war between each other? I've got these 2 vassals going at it and they've been stuck on 15% war score for 20 loving years (I've been waiting for them to stop since forming Scandinavia so I can change succession laws). I just tried Assassinating moth of them, but their heirs just took up where they left off, and I tried forming Sweden and cranking the crown law and still nothing. My dude is gonna die of old age.

LowellDND posted:Well, my guy dies in a couple weeks, and his son inherits. Can he push the de jure claim? (What button would I press? It's listed as a petty kingdom) Finally, would the new count be likely to accept being made a vassal, or do I need to invade again? If you hold the duchy or kingdom that his county belongs to, you can ask him for fealty diplomatically. Otherwise you can declare war on him (it will be de jure CB). If the county isn't a de jure part of a duchy that you or one of your vassals owns, then you either to have a claim to it in order to declare war (fabricated or otherwise)...except it you're a viking then you just take whatever you want p much.

Man, Zoroastrian is the masochist start. I hate to admit it, but I dunno how to go about getting into snowball position without restarting/save scumming. I ended up busting my way through the medium emirates, rotating them as I went, being careful to try and step into any Holy Wars that were smashing my mates. I wanted to assassinate the Caliph because on 2 occasions he almost ruined a holy war for me, but no one in the plot list had more than 10% plot chance, and they all love him. I'd say getting lucky with assassinations on him would be key. Assassinate everyone. Also my first kid to my half sister is loving inbred of course. Assassinate him too.

Charlz Guybon posted:So, it's basically like a super retinue of heavy infantry or what? Are you Byzantine? I thought you meant as a 300 prestige/gold as a reward for sending your Viking son off to join them. Varangian is really cheap and a big bonus to your forces. Definitely worth it. A crusade is like a special religion-wide war. Holy wars are on a smaller scale.

I'm still really new at this game and trying to learn but this poo poo is kind of frustrating. Does anyone have better recommendations? I've seen people mention the HRE but it's just such a gigantic clusterfuck that I don't know where to begin. I'd rather stay remote like Ireland if possible, until I get a real good feel for the game mechanics. Swear fealty to him and live to fight another day. DrNutt posted:That's good to know. So is there a better place to start in Ireland than Dublin?

DrSunshine posted:Iceland. You're too poor, small, and out of the way for anyone to gently caress with you besides your other Icelandic neighbor. Start in 1066 as Duke Isleifur with a loyal vassal, or Count Sigfus and try to overthrow Isleifur before he becomes a vassal of Norway. The 867 Icelandic start is a lot harder because you are small and insignificant, so one of the Norwegian petty kings will often go after you precisely because of that so they can form the Kingdom of Norway; you basically have to pray that they ignore you or bribe the big men. I'm so glad I shook off this mentality. I started as Iceland in 867, and instead of reloading and crying when the King of Ostlandet declared on me as I normally would, I actually tried to fight him and let him subjugate me. 80 or so years later, he's gone and I'm the King of Norway and my Wife is the Queen of mondo buff Denmark.

LowellDND posted:Yeah, that's what I'm asking. I thought if a duchy inherits to my family, it turns green. It has not. I've killed half the court of England, I'm unsure what to do next. Even if your dynastic heir came into inheriting a kingdom through your wife, his mother, you wouldn't get control over it until you died and took control of your heir. You need to be getting you direct heir married to female rulers or heirs, and then start killing your way through families, not just kinsmen. Family ties don't overide independance or fealty.

CapnAndy posted:I have never seen a "press all de jure claims" button That's because it only works for strong claims, not De Jure claims. This doesn;t matter thoguh because once you learn how to play effectively, De Jure claims are rarely even touched aside from once in a blue moon to pretty up your borders. You can fabricate multiple claims and press them all at once, which is a good use of a court chancellor while you're waiting for that pesky cool down.

Dauntasa posted:You'll get a notification on the top of your screen when a faction has gotten large enough to consider rebelling. Mouseover it and it'll tell you which faction(s) are strong enough to rebel. For most factions, this is when they reach around 60-70% of your military strength, but the Independence faction is special and will rebel with around 30%. Also the Independence faction is hyper-aggressive and will not hesitate to rebel at the absolute worst possible time and potentially get the entire realm conquered by heathens in order to try and win, so watch out for them specifically. Nothing sweeter than crushing a rebellion and sacrificing him to the blot, except maybe crushing a rebellion as an old benevolent ruler and then using your accrued good faith to banish the traitor.
