I can never go back to CK2. Not because it is bad but because I can never just be happy doing a quick scenario or idea, I have to go full world conquest all the time. And now they've expanded the map again I'd feel even worse about failing.

Is there any way to mess with CK2 export saves so I actually get proper ideas instead of whatever the converter felt like giving me? Or were ideas for Norse/Scandinavian cultures just rolled into something else?

The converter exports an EU4 mod that can be edited in the same way as any other mod, including editing ideas, tech groups, and other stuff that tends to turn out strangely.

Any kinda guide to that? Do I just open up the appropriate file in a text editor and hop to it?

Oh, well, the latest patch just broke all my exported saves, so I guess that's that.

I can see that modding, savescumming and such would make achievements trivial, but the lengths the game goes to ensure you never get one unless the stars are properly aligned is kind of baffling.

Especially considering achievements don't actually matter nor are in any way meaningful besides giving you an extra objective.

Technically, none of what we do in these games matter. I guess it really ruins some people's sense of immersion/achievement when their fake empires are ruled by fake people.

I just realized this game has had expansions made for it for 4 years. When will we be satisfied?

That dude should get a special cheevo just for him, picture of a horse with the description I'm loving crazy

What I want to know is what happens when you import that game into EU4?

Hey how does Horse Culture convert to EUIV in the converter?

Just asking for... Research purposes.

We all need to know. Or Paradox needs to make Horse Lords 2 and make it about actual horses.

Other than "fight them," any general tips for when I get Jihaded? Strategies I should follow? Never been in this situation before. I'm the king of Castille and was well on the way to completing the Reconquista. I was in the middle of an aggressive landgrab since the Almohad sultanate broke up into smaller states and I was gobbling them up while I could, so my army isn't exactly well rested.



My current borders:



I have the HRE and England as allies so I'll obviously call them in.

The last time I got jihaded I was playing Norse, and thus had access to a bunch of boats. Since I had holdings in Africa that the enemy wanted, I simply let him spread out his forces gaining attrition while I picked off his reinforcements until their armies were more manageable by landing my forces quickly onto much smaller stacks (what with my morale penalty for landing armies and their slight tech advantage). Before the enemy can converge on you you'll have won the fight and can flee over to your boats again. This might be tougher in Spain since it doesn't take a ton of time moving between some areas there, but the principle is the same: Never meet their big doomstack in combat, boat your forces around to either catch his smaller forces unaware or take over some of his counties to force him to retreat to grab them again until he's lost enough troops sieging you or from having too many troops in one spot.

My immortal, lunatic, multiple amputee, mangled emperor got a prosthetic leg that gave him the confidence to ask a girl to dance, and they fell in love :3: Not sure what that'll do, exactly, but dude's had a lonely few centuries, so good for him.

Eventually you can just import into the as-of-yet unnancounced 40k Imperium manager game I guess.

Am I the last person to realize CK2 is The Sims in a global neighborhood with way more actions and consequences?

If only I could remove all the ladders from these vikings' pools. :argh:

e: Devs please implement an assassination where you wait for the target to go swimming and then steal the ladder they'd use to get out.

More like walling them in. That was a legitimate thing after all!

I fixed it for 2.6.2.

Heck yeah, precisely the kinda thing I wanted for when the new EU4 DLC drops. I was buying it already, but now it is an even more sure thing.

So it is impossible to get a hermetic or similar kind of order as a Germanic religion? Damnit I just wanted my science-vikings to build weird boat-laboratories or something :(
