SnoochtotheNooch posted:Also, my heir who just inherited was Sunni. So now my horde has all turned Sunni. How the hell to I switch back to tengrI? I was expecting a decision to just switch back but I guess that decision is just for heresies. There are fewer options for converting to an unreformed pagan religion than there are for converting to a non-pagan religion. Your best bet is moving your capital to a Tengri province. If you have 1000 piety and you're independent, you'll be able to convert to the local religion.

Aside from Pagans, which definitely need some work, some more features for the tiny Christian sects like Nestorianism and various heresies would be nice, too. Also, I'd love to see Manichaeism get some unique stuff.

Bishop Rodan posted:it tells me that I will lose the Khaganate on succession despite having eligible heirs. I think this part is normal since clan leaders with high prestige can also inherit the khaganate. Make sure your heir has higher prestige than any clan leader.

Neopie posted:So I'm playing on the first horse lords version because I'm a wimp who likes my OP hordes: SO Ihave a temple built in 3 holy sites of Tengri. I control all 3 of these sites, though not personally. So why does only one of these count as a holy site with a temple? All of them have priests, I don't directly control the baronies or anything. IS this a bug that got fixed? If you conquered some of the sites rather than building the temples there yourself, make sure that the person who owns the temple is Tengri.

I haven't played After the End in a long time and I'm really impressed by how much depth it has, all the new events and such. I just got a visit from some European traders and allowed them to set up shop in my realm and I've gotten a couple events relating to that since then, I can't wait to see how far this goes.

Way Of Life in general needs a rework. I think every focus should have some kind of unique action you can take on provinces or characters. As it stands, a lot of the ways of life seem to have very little effect since other than the stat increases you're relying on RNG to deliver the unique events. Hunting is alright because the events you get from that are common enough you typically see the effect every time you take it, but like, Business and Scholarship you can go a whole lifetime and never see any events from it.

GunnerJ posted:I thought that a patch made it so that tutors can't educate someone to be a different religion from their employer? They can't educate someone to be a different culture or religion than whatever the culture/religion of their court is. So an Italian Catholic ruler who has a kid tutored by an Orthodox Greek in his court won't have his kid's religion or culture converted, but if he was to send his kid to be educated by someone in the court of his Greek Orthodox vassal, or a someone in the Byzantine Empire, then the kid might get culture/religion converted

Torrannor posted:A great change? Yeah, right now it's too easy to remain Doge forever. Barring like, 3 or 4 quick ruler deaths in a row, you never seem to have an issue with keeping the title in your family thanks to campaign funds. Another big problem with Patrician AI I've noticed is that unlanded Patricians never seem to build more than one or two trade posts, even when their cap is much bigger. As a player, the best strategy is to build as many trade posts as possible as quickly as possible (or to be only slightly below cap to leave open the possibility for seizing particularly valuable trade posts). Meanwhile, I've seen patricians content to sit on their huge piles of money at 10 below their trade post limit for a hundred years until I give them some land out of pity, then they get their asses in gear.

The insane wealth from bulldozing my way through Khiva and Samarkand let me turn the entirety of my manpower into horse archers and heavy vanguards, but I'd always end up getting nibbled away at by the numerically superior Khazars or Uyghurs and then end up dragged into an apocalyptic war with the Abbasids. I had a recent similar game as the Bolghar.

e:: ^^ Nope, no penalty at all. It may be within your interests to send an army lead by your ruler, marshal, and anyone else you want to give a nice martial bonus to to the target kingdom of the crusade. As soon as you step off the boat onto the target, the commanders of any armies you land there will get the "Crusader" trait, giving them +2 martial and a couple other nice bonuses, even if you disband the army immediately and they never see combat.Tendai posted:Oh yeah, I know. It was my own dumb mistake, he had like 6 girls and 1 boy and was around 50 years old so in a panic I changed it to absolute agnatic and then suddenly his geriatric rear end got his wife pregnant and she had two more sons while I couldn't change the succession. So I killed them both once I got so old that I was afraid I might die. Everyone hates me, but at least they like my (one) heir. Harald Fairhair (Ostlandet, southeastern Norway) in 867 makes for a pretty fun start. Norse/Germanic is one of the most fleshed-out religions in the game, for one thing. As Halfdan, you're surrounded by neighbors that are all slightly weaker than you, and Catholics are a kind of distant threat. With the "become King of Norway" ambition, you can easily conquer all of Norway within a few years. This makes you a very powerful ruler and from there the world is your oyster. You're in a good position from there to reform the Norse faith and you'll have big enough armies that raiding will be incredibly profitable.

DoubleNegative posted:No, I tutored her myself. Yeah, that's just how the game handles mixed-race people. The offspring of a dark-skinned and light-skinned person is given some shade of skin in between. Sometimes they can be fully black, sometimes they can be fully white, sometimes something in between. Frankly it's a bit of an anomaly that all her siblings ended up fully "Ethiopian." Anyway, "ethnicity" doesn't affect anything other than character portraits.

Someday posted:I want to maximize my number of troops. What type of holdings should I build in my demense? Do castles ruled by barons add to my levies? Yes. You get considerably more if you control the holding yourself, though. You also get more troops in provinces that are de jure part of a title you hold. The optimal strategy for getting troops is to make your capital a max-holding province in a duchy, kingdom, and empire you have the title of, filled with castles you own, with any additional castles you can hold after that being in another province in the same duchy. If you aren't minmaxing, though, then yeah, just building castles should be good, they provide more troops than cities or temples.

Yes, you can be any religion and remain a nomad. The best way to make your preferred son gain prestige is to send him off as a mercenary, a couple years of that and he should surpass even the oldest members of your family (minus yourself) provided no one else in your family has been sent off as a mercenary too.

I noticed a weird bit of AI fuckery. A king-level sultan controlling the duchies of Cyrenaica and Tunisia, with me controlling the stretch between them, had an adventurer invasion that lasted about 20 years and would have gone on longer if I hadn't intervened. The adventurer managed to occupy a province in Tunisia before, I assume, getting beaten and retreating to Benghazi. He didn't have enough troops to effectively besiege Benghazi so he just stood there. Meanwhile, the Sultan's army, which was about 6 times his size, just kept marching back and forth between the province right before Benghazi and the province right before the occupied province. For about 20 years.

I just had something really cool happen. Playing as a King of Sicily, the Pope called a Crusade on France as the king had converted to Waldensianism. I was leading in War Contribution and pursuing the retreating French army. I caught up to them at Chartres, my valorous, maimed King leading the charge, and as it so happened, both the King of France and his barely-reached-majority son and heir died in battle on the same day. Killing two commanders in one battle is rare enough, but for them to be the King and the heir apparent is this astounding event. The crusade immediately ends, as the new King is apparently Catholic, and Aquitaine splits from France as apparently they had a different succession law. I check who the new King of France is and was surprised to find it was my fourteen-year-old nephew, the son of my legitimized bastard half-brother whom my father had married off to some French princess many years before. All of this was totally unplanned. I'm really chuffed knowing that the Battle of Chartres is going to go down in the history books as a decisive turning point in the history of Europe that people are going to talk about the same way they'd talk about the Battle of Tours or the Battle of Hastings.

Seduce as many medium-to-high-intrigue women in the English court as possible.

On the plus side, I didn't get "severely injured" along with it like you seem to with a normal physican.
