Recently nerfed. Although it was never so much OP as it was a complete clusterfuck. Anyone who picked Seduction focus ended up with dozens of bastard children and a wife who had like a -2000 opinion modifier. I mean, you could get a lot of mileage out of it if you were stuck in Gavelkind by marrying an infertile woman and then just loving your way across half of Europe and then holding Bastard Thunderdome and legitimizing whichever one turned out best but that actually required a significant amount of effort to do properly.

Dareon posted:"Only nets me 25 gold" counts as not rich enough. I just let everyone who can pay anything go. I mean, I have so many prisoners as a Viking that I always get at least 4 who can't pay the ransom and that's as many as I can sacrifice so I might as well get paid for the others. I'd totally use a mod that let you sacrifice every prisoner at once, though.

I never give a poo poo about army composition beyond assigning whoever the guys with the 3 best martial scores who aren't cowards to lead my biggest stack. Until I end up losing and getting half my army owned, then I briefly start paying attention to the finer details just in time for it to be way too late to make a difference.

Excelzior posted:oh man keep nerfing North Korea mode guys it's totally not a colossal waste of everyone's time when you spend man-hours on preventing a specific subgroup of players from ENJOYING THEMSELVES, usually resulting in unintended disadvantages for every single other player as the "world conquest players" just loving route around your latest roadblock. There's literally nothing stopping you from just stripping all of their titles and it gives you roughly the same amount of tyranny anyway and the old way that banishment worked didn't make any sense. I figure it's more of an alternative to execution that's "I want this guy to die but if I execute him I'll get Kinslayer and/or piss off a bunch of important people so instead he can just gently caress off forever".

Fuligin posted:I don't really get this. Having to wait 4+ years sieging down provinces cause battle warscore is so low is easily the worst part about CK2 for me, has it been tweaked in Horse Lords? I think how much warscore you get for battles in comparison to sieges depends on what CB you're using. Like if your CB is for pressing specific claims on counties then you kind of need to siege those counties down in order to win, but if you're using one of the more generalized CBs like Invasion you can get pretty much all of the score you need from fighting.

I never stop plots unless they're against me or someone really important. I mean I don't really give a gently caress either way if some Duke wants to kill one of my cousins and if I happen to catch him in the act it's better to just let him have at it in case I need a reason to imprison him later rather than tell him to stop.

Solemn Sloth posted:I may be super dumb for not seeing this, but how do nomads build trading posts on the silk road(if they do at all)? Nomads don't gain technology points and thus can't increase their trading post limit. Nomads don't gain tech points in the same way that other people gain tech points but there's a building you can build in your capitol that gives you some and you can get some by destroying holdings I think.

Solemn Sloth posted:Also there's no way to pillage baronies right, you can only pillage the county capital and then hold the remainder as vassals? You can pillage anything you own. All you have to do to pillage the other holdings is revoke them from whatever guy holds them(which as a Nomad is basically free other than the prestige cost because the other Khans could not possibly give less of a poo poo about what you do to anyone else.) Basically you just park your horde on the holding to immediately stomp anyone who tries to rebel and then revoke all the cities/temples/castles and pillage them.

Solemn Sloth posted:or occupy in a war. I've never actually figured out how you're supposed to pillage holdings you occupy during a war because it always tells me that I'm not the province owner and therefore can't do it even if I've taken every holding in the province and have my horde parked on top of it. Works fine when I win the war and actually own it, though.

So if you're a Hindu Nomad and you send your heir away to go crack skulls as a mercenary for a few years he gets to choose a patron god which sucks because unless I get lucky they choose someone other than Kali and I can't sacrifice the hundreds of prisoners I have anymore making them completely worthless to me because I have thousands of gold already and the only thing I can spend it on is sheep. Every time I see that my son chose one of the lovely boring gods I have to spend 5 minutes going through my prisoner list and throwing them all in the Oubliette because I'm not willing to get spammed with their endless whining unless I get to eat their hearts for piety.

Krataar posted:Is there a way to pillage the provinces into grass before I take them? You can pillage if you occupy a province during a war but it only destroys one building at a time rather than 4. It gives you the same amount of money and tech though so if you don't care about sitting in a war at 100% for years you can get more money and tech out of a province by not owning it.

If you destroy all the holdings in a province it automatically converts to your culture and religion so all you have to do is park your horde in the area you want to pillage to swat down the rebels and then slowly burn everything to the ground.

The 50 man bands are good because if you're a count and you're trying to beat up another count then you go to siege his county and realize that you're 20 men short you no longer have to spend hundreds of gold to hire 2000 men which bankrupts you and never made much sense to begin with. Instead you pay 5 gold to rent a couple of dozen thugs.

I conquered Denmark pretty early on, granting me the title of King from the dude who had already created the title, but this has led me to a bit of stalling out... It seems my subjugate CB has disappeared. Is this because I have a title as King, or could the previous king of Denmark have reformed the faith, which transfers to me after my conquest? You only get to use Subjugate once per character unless your ambition is to become a King(which it can't be, since you are one).

Autonomous Monster posted:Also, I think they grow exponentially. So if one starts out a reasonable size they very quickly become unreasonable. I believe the way it works is that whenever the Captain gets something like 25 gold he spends it to increase the size of the company by 5 percent, and how much money they earn is based on how many men they have. So if you send out 50 men then occasionally the Captain will hire like 2 or 3 more men and even if he's always working it'll take him decades just to break 100. If you send out a thousand men then they will basically continuously hire more and more men, who will earn them more and more money, etc..

It's actually easier to start as a vassal clan than as the head clan because the only time you will be weak as a nomad is right at the start before you get rolling and if you're the top guy you'll have the other clans loving with you constantly. But if you're a vassal you basically just get to build in peace until you feel like going for the top spot.

Dareon posted:Could some kind king convey a crash course on Crisis of the Confederation? I have the general idea (CKII in space, travel between "counties" needs "straits" or "galleys", holdings are planets with their own mostly-unimprovable resource "buildings"), but it seems like everything is roughly twice as expensive as I think it should be and I likewise have roughly half the resources I think I should. So according to the tooltips Principito is a Pirate Republic and as such for them raiding is more of an occasional thing rather than an actual source of income, and they're supposed to mostly do smuggling rather than just stealing poo poo. Apparently Pirate Kingdoms are the guys who go do actual raiding so maybe try them. I don't know because I'm just getting into COTC myself and have mostly been fiddling around with Military governments. It's a fantastic mod and the scale of it is so big that I'm willing to forgive some of the janky or unfinished bits I'm seeing, like the broken tooltips. Only thing that's really annoying me is the fact that every mercenary company comes with a fleet of Tunnelers(the galley equivalent) which makes their monthly cost absolutely insane. Like a company of ~250 men costs 10 gold every month because of it.

Drone posted:-Wanna play in India (I've owned this since launch and have never once used it), get Rajas of India. India is super boring to play in but I have found one good use for having Rajas which is that playing a Hindu Nomad and devoting yourself to Kali lets you do human sacrifice, which drastically improves the Nomad experience by giving you something to do with the billions of prisoners you end up with.

Eric the Mauve posted:if you give him the title ("grant landed title") or vassal ("transfer vassalage") Also, if a troublesome vassal is a Count or Duke, you can just transfer his vassalage to one of your Duke/King level vassals. Then he'll be someone else's problem, and you'll get an opinion bonus from them to boot. You can kill multiple birds with one stone a lot of the time by doing this. If you have an angry Duke and a couple of rear end in a top hat counts, just dump all the counts into the Duke's lap. He'll be happy since he's got a bigger domain under his control, but he won't actually be much more powerful because he'll have to spend all his time slapping down the gaggle of assholes you've saddled him with, and the assholes will bother him instead of you.
