You can't un-gavelkind the Pagans?

If you do a reformation on the Norse religion, you still can't switch to primogeniture unless you have High crown authority?

I hate hate hate gavelkind

Are only unlanded sons given crap once you die? Can I give my second son a duchy and the first one gets everything else?

The best alert was the "you haven't been at war in 2 years. you're losing prestige, go kill something"

I think if you make your extra sons bishops then they can't inherit.

Can somebody verify this works in Norseland?

It seems you can't make your heir a Godi to disinherit him.

Speaking of this, why doesn't The Old Gods include CK2+'s handy "this dude WILL/WILL NOT become your vassal" notification on this sort of thing? That's definitely one of the things I'm really missing in vanilla now.

Anyways does anyone know where this is in CK2+ and how hard it would be to rip out into its own mod?

It worked for me. All of my sons except the one I want to inherit were given temples and are no longer in the succession.

Your direct heir. It said it very clearly in red text. I could make people down the succession line a Godi, but not my first born son.

Two questions

1) is there a way to destroy a title through the console?

I didn't realize creating the impact of creating Empire of Brittania when I already had Empire of Scandanavia

2) Let's say you've taken over the world. You are Emperor of The Medieval World

What is in your personal demense? What kingdom(s) and duchy(s) do you keep/

Just a quick question!
I love the Total War games, but I don't like the combat :s I simply love playing diplomat and taking over all of a continent and a country and making my kingdom superior. If I like that type of diplomacy game, is this game worth playing? I recieved the game as a gift some time ago, and I tried to play it as well but holy hell it is way too much to take care of. Should I just push myself through that?

YES. I play exactly like that in Total War.

I haven't played Total War since I discovered CK2.

For those of you who do massive, sprawling empires, what do you do with kingdoms that you can't create? Like the Hungarian empire, I can't seem to Usurp it (as a scandanavian) and I can't create the Holland empire at all, as it was never created.

Any recommendations?

I don't want all these freaking vassals heh

Have a person of the right culture educate someone of your dynasty, give him/her all the de-jure land of the empire/kingdom, grant them independence and enough money for them to create the kingdom/empire, wait until they get enough piety and create the kingdom/empire, then stab your way down the line until you inherit the kingdom/empire. Easy.

Can I not give a dude two duchies and some cash in the du jure area and let him create it himself?

Something has to be done about title Creation requirements.

I've taken over at least half the world (have 20 kings as vassals) but once you get down into Hispania and Italy (and for some reason, I can't usurp Perm?) you just end up with a million Dukes and it succccccks.

Correct. Although for some reason I've been able to usurp the Byzantine Empire as a Norse.

CapnAndy posted:

Why? It shouldn't. Usurp and create are the same thing, just only differing in if somebody else currently has the title or not.

I understand why it's treated the same, I just don't like the rule all together. I've already got ~20 kings under me, having infinite numbers of duchies as well makes empire management dang near impossible.

Revoke and destroy them. I usually get my revoke on when my ruler is old and everyone loves him or after a rebellion.

I'm wanting to put a king between me and the dukes, the game just doesn't allow you to create "Christian" kingdoms if you're pagan.

Kagon posted:

If it bothers you, go to your landed titles under the common folder and open the landed titles file. Find the kingdom you're looking for- they're listed under k_whatever (e.g., k_armenia).

Now look for this:

# Creation/usurpation trigger
allow = {
religion_group = christian
}

Delete that, and you can make the title without being Christian. I just tested it using a Zoroaster Byzantine emperor to make Armenia, and it worked.

I guess I could do that with everything I suppose.

My map currently looks like this

I really don't have to go edit files every stinking time.

Strudel Man posted:

Rather than taking out the creation requirements entirely, the way I'd do it is put in an alternate requirement of completely controlling the kingdom in question. I.e., for the one below, you'd have
code:
allow = {
	OR = {
		religion_group = christian
		completely_controls = k_armenia
	}
}
So you could do it with the normal thing if you're a christian, or if you're not, you can still create it if you have 100% of the counties and baronies and such.

the other option I've seen is changing yourself to Christian via console, create kingdom, switch back to previous one

For people who want to bypass those cultural/religious requirements, but still want them to mean something, I uploaded that mod I mentioned. I don't know Fake Latin well enough to come up with a standard CK2 mod name, so I just called it Tweaked Titles. Download it here.

Basically, the cultural and religious requirements for almost every kingdom and empire can be bypassed, but only if you control the entire de jure territory, down to the last holding. Venice has a city in one of the counties on the edge? No title for you.

Compatibility with other mods: no idea! A rough guess would be if it doesn't mod landed_titles.txt, it's probably compatible with Tweaked Titles.

Fair enough!

Edit:
Do you guys forgive and forget in these situations?

First off, strip them of extraneous titles (oh how you'd get two duchies? *revoke*)

Then ransom them off.

If you can't ransom them, release the content ones and those that don't especially hate you.

Give the rest to the All-Father.

This is great btw - one small issue, Kingdom of Leon doesn't have the 100% control The rest of the Hispania is fine though.

Is there a recommended list of mods to use?

Nothing game changing, just UI mods.

I'd love something that would allow me to filter search a little more.

Edit: Also, a have a large empire and put down a rebellion. I'm doing the normal revoke-and-redistribute-titles thing, however, it won't let me revoke The Kingdom of Mali from a dude because it's against the Crown Laws.

Is this right?

Is CKII a good introduction to Paradox games? If not, which is the easiest to catch on with? I really enjoy these types of strategy games in theory, but they also look incredibly daunting to start. I also have a pretty lovely laptop, so I was thinking of starting with one of the older games.

None of them are easy.

Play the tutorial to understand the interface, read this Let's Play:

So, my empire has a lot of kingdoms, but they have gotten really mixed up. Every du jure kingdom is split among 3 different kings.

This is making my OCD go nuts, heh.

I know I can retract vassalage, and between the give and take I'd probably be ok, but the -10 to all other vassals is going to kill me.

Any good strategy for attacking this problem?
