norse. there are just too many characters with awesome starts where you can go be something other than norse in a different part of the world. think it has something to do with the entire map being open to me at the jump, which makes every other start so limited and boring.

Africa's still kinda low on my priority list because I'm not a fan of playing games close to the map border, but I've been holding off on playing in Italy because of all of those map improvements they're going to make there. I wanna end up fighting the pope and see if Paradox has finally made it so that once you take Rome he'll pop up somewhere else instead of existing in nega-space (I've been reading up lately on the Avignon papacy too, which sounds like it could fit very neatly into Holy Fury's mechanics). But then again, eastern Europe is pretty nice looking too, since they made a bunch of tweaks to the map there as well, and that's the place to be to reform a religion, try new conversion mechanics, or play around with the new holy orders. But then the western edge of Europe is real nice too, since finally there's going to be a way to claw your way up out of the Umayyad foreverblob. Great opportunity to become a saint, and probably there's even some bloodlines floating around to mess with. Holy war is a pretty fast way to conquer your way up, so maybe I could swing a quick empire and then get a beef with the Pope over my coronation. But hell, why limit yourself? When I get Holy Fury first thing I'll probably do is just roll a bunch of random worlds just to see what it looks like. I've been meaning to get Jade Dragon for its CBs next time its on sale, and I've always been worried by how little I know about Indian history. Might as well see what it's like when there's no history not to know.

GokuGoesSSJ3 posted:Why not just holy war for it if you're fraticelli? I tried, but the only CB the Declare War screen gives me is Great Conquest, and the Papal States are way too small so the button is just grayed out. maybe it's some kind of bug or something?

Holy War CBs can only target adjacent duchies, or near maritime if you're the right culture or religion I think.

I think you can shortcut your way around that by finding a claimant to some area near to Rome, but I'm not sure. Distance limitations are pretty vague. It'd make sense if you could use antipapal mechanics to establish a pope, but I guess that'd make Fraticelli even more powergamey.

When you fabricate a claim, you can move the counselor after the notification pops up that he has successfully fabricated it, and before you agree to pay for it. The claim will be on the county he's on when you click OK. So you can tell your counselor to fabricate a claim on your neighbor where there's a high chance of success, then move him to Rome once the event fires and get a strong claim.

My antipope of the antipapacy my great-great-granddad established decided to stop so I figured "huh, oh well, I'd be okay with following the real pope from now on". Then the pope immediately excommunicated me for no reason so gently caress you my guy's an antipope again lol I binge bought this game and all the DLC last year during a depressed episode and since then I regretted it but now I'm finally actually playing the game and having fun.

I mean at minimum Beowulf and the Canterbury Tales would do you for Western Europe. Of course for the full Zoroastrian RP experience you must hammer your way through the entire Shahnameh in Persian.

We have a dev diary and patch notes! https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/ck2-dev-diary-108-achievements-appearances.1127439/ Some of these achievements are very interesting. L'Eglise, c'est Moi! As an Emperor, grab the crown out of the Pope's hands and crown yourself. Seems like there's room for shenanigans in coronations! Deus Vult Create the Empire of the Outremer. A new Crusader empire? History is in my Blood Have 5 Historical Bloodlines on your character. So it might be easier than I first thought to collect the bloodlines. I was under the impression that they followed strictly agnatic inheritance unless explicitly noted otherwise, which would make it impossible to get more than one of those into your bloodline. This suggest otherwise. I have no time to really look over the patch notes, there are probably some gems hidden within them.

quote:- Book-type artifacts can no longer be stacked indefinitely, characters can now have max 4 books active at once (Library equipment slot) That'll be a big nerf for Hermetics! Still powerful though. quote:- Vastly reduced the cost of Prestige buildings in Tribal holdings These are all nice changes for both playing as and against tribes. Having to look out for the sudden army from nowhere was annoying.

quote:- Controlled Realm Inheritance now affects your realm instead of the DeJure region for the title. And it is now in effect as long as any title above the title being inherited has set Controlled Realm Inheritance to Illegal. Every time I would take a break from the game, I would always forget how Controlled Realm Inheritance worked and get confused when I'd lose something. e;f,b quote:- Disabled the Decisions for Tribal realms to hire temporary troops for prestige/piety, they caused too much confusion for players (where did those 5000 troops come from?) and allowed for a much too rapid conquest (declaring multiple wars to avoid having them despawn), this is only in effect if Legacy of Rome is active This is a big change.

There were a couple big things hidden in the patch notes, biggest of which:quote:-Added army movement lock system. When a unit has progressed 50% with its movement into a County, the order cannot be canceled. While movement locked, further moves may be canceled or queued up. Army movement lock can be disabled via the game rules That'll really put more change into how you move troops around, no more trying to chase down an army feinting to two separate counties like when you're chasing somebody on the other side of a table. quote:- Added new Crusade events There's finally going to be a smattering of crusader states in addition to the kingdom of Jerusalem forming, and there's more fun to have in the crusade than just a trait and being the big winner. No real idea what the "empire of Outremer" is. quote:- The Hansa is now available for players through a decision Finally Switzerland gets some lovin', an opportunity for catholics in the levant, and an odd thing with Powys. Not sure what that last one is about. quote:- Only bishops of Count level or above can be made into anti-Popes There goes my "no county bishops ever" strategy. quote:- Split the 'Supernatural' game rule into two: 'Supernatural' which controls events such as the Demon Child, and 'Absurd' which controls events such as Chancellor Glitterhoof Some nice quality of life improvements and addressing some players' complaints with rules. If you don't want a China explosion, you can keep them stuck back east. quote:- In 769 Iceland now starts populated by Irish theocracies, representing the papars. Norse characters will during the Viking Age get the opportunity to take it over. There's a treat for vikings. quote:- The Caspian Sea is now functionally like an ocean. With boats and merchant republics and stuff Some out east tweaks. quote:- When a new merchant republic house is generated from thin air, the new patrician comes with a family so that they can't as easily go extinct shortly after due to a single unfortunate death SlothfulCobra fucked around with this message at 19:09 on Nov 9, 2018 |

Tercio posted:wait, do east slavic characters still have those janky portraits? Yeah, they'll still use the Russian set. Though it won't be hard at all to mod them over to one of the new Slavic sets, or even just the faces and leave the Russian clothes. In fact, I bet this guy will take care of that for you within a couple of weeks.

Buried in the modding section is that a government type or religion can permit female characters to take concubines and the add_consort command has been changed so the calling scope is the senior partner rather than always the male, which could break mods.
