With the Plague be sure to close your gates well before it gets anywhere near your castle. Spread 3 counties in one tick in my game, even tho the interface showed no spread strength yet.

So I've just started this and after doing a bit in Ireland to learn the basic basics, I decided to do an ironman Charlemagne. I have questions about gavelkind and empires and kingdoms. I'm assuming I can spin off the kingdoms as vassals? What's the "safest" way to do so? My second son is due to inherit Bavaria and East Francia, is that going to be "ok" from the perspective of them all being under my umbrella? Also, is there a good way to invade Saxony? If you total up the entire country's supply limits it can support about 4 guys and a donkey. Eating 20% attrition on my army when fighting their 7500 prestige summoned troops is savage. e: while I'm at it, making a mercenary company: 1) is there any good way to see what sort of income I'm making from them, and 2) can they be hired to attack you or do you get some cover in that regard?

So, what's the best way to counter the advanced Viking 9th century mole machine technology? Is there a mod to make giant red arrows to track the tiny ripples in your empire they make before burrowing to the surface with 6500 troops?

It's only annoying while my dukes are poor, but it got so bad one run that I console-killed the leader of every one that appeared. I don't care so much about the adventurers themselves, I just run them over with my retinue, it's just that they're all but invisible as they march unchallenged across my lands, burrow up to the surface with their "raiding enabled!" button, then disappear beneath the fields when you chase down the retreating band

I've got another newbie confusion question. My France start is going OK so far (my next succession is gonna be horrible, my only son ended up with 6 diplo so everyone's gonna hate him) One thing I know is going to happen sooner or later is a major war with the Umayyads. I've been keeping an eye on troop counts just so I know how bad it'll be, and I noticed something weird:  How does he have 2k/1k personal levies, and 23k/14k vassal levies? Is the over cap troop levies a Sunni thing?

ninjahedgehog posted:His predecessor probably raised those levies before he succeeded, or perhaps he did something to tank his vassals' opinions of him while the levies were raised. Once levies are raised, they're yours unless they die or the lord of those levies stops being your vassal somehow. Yeah, he had some rebellions a year ago, the last thing I actually saw him raise troops for was to chase down some viking raider. Maybe he's kept them raised and is still chasing that raider and that's why he's at -700 gold. e: I'll have to keep an eye on that, if he actually drops to 13k at some point I should go roll over him (and generate so much threat in the process the Pope would defend him next time, which is just silly) On that last topic the threat system is just silly. As it is right now if I even sneeze in the general direction of Saxony I get 75% threat and the Pope forms a defensive pact then excommunicates me.

Tuxedo Catfish posted:It makes decisive victories in wartime a gigantic pain in the rear end. Before it was a balance problem, afterwards it was a tedium problem. Let's not pretend chasing an army back and forth between two counties killing 4 guys at a time before they break again isn't tedious. With the broken retreat I often can finish sieging down a county or two before the army comes back. I just wish there was a happy medium/max break distance, because what is frustrating is things like viking raiders that broken retreat about 3 continents away with complete immunity.

Looking at it I've got 500 piety, 45% moral authority, and the third holy site I need is the solitary independent county left on the coast.

As France I put a Lombard in a city holding and pressed his claim, so now the whole of Italy is a Serene Republic. My Viking Republic plans are somewhat thwarted. Germanic lets me have concubines and while merchant republic doesn't say it forbids them, there's no valid targets for take concubine

Goon Danton posted:Looking it up, the wiki says pagan patricians should be able to get concubines, so I'm not sure what's up there. Try doing it from the woman's diplo page directly, as it should at least give a reason for not letting you. I figured it out, I was in hiding. It doesn't even show the take concubine option on the women when you do that, much less tell you that's why it's not an option. It'd be nice if the personal "take concubine" option would be greyed out in that case with "You can't take concubines if in hiding"

catlord posted:Are you culturally Norse? If so you can. Determining who can raid is based on culture, religion, and I believe government type. Norse and Berber cultures are raiding cultures. Germanic for sure is a raiding religion. I think tribals can always raid too? So a Norse Shia can raid, but if you culture convert to, say, Danish, you won't be able to. As an English Germanic you can. An Irish Christian can as long as they're tribal. I think that's all accurate, but I don't end up playing raiders often so I may be a little off. That's all been the case, thanks! Nice being able to swim around in my Icelandic money pit while definitely not being decadent, no sir

Had something odd happen and was wondering if someone might have some insight if its something I did that can be avoided: My ruler died, I had no raised levies or anything, and all of my demesnes levies were reduced to zero. Like every single troop decided to commit suicide out of sorrow for the King. Any ideas? Kind of sucks having to spend the first 5 years of my new reign waiting for levies to reinforce
