Any recommendations for minimizing mouse movement? I love this game, but never get much more than 50 years into a dynasty before developing RSI and having to stop. A minor culprit is the Find character window which cannot be scrolled through with the keyboard as far as I can tell. (Would a mouse wheel work, if I had one? Ironically the reason I haven't one is that I have a trackball to reduce RSI.) But the major problem is definitely troop micromanagement. Pagans are a particular problem - having to go out raiding all the time and keep sending the fleets back and forth just to stay solvent is a killer. What campaign (or other tips) would people recommend for the least possible amount of clicking?

Darkrenown posted:What other UI tweaks would help you play? In decreasing order of importance: Keyboard methods of scrolling up and down in the Find character window. Up and down arrows, or Page up and down - preferably both. This would save me so much trouble! Keyboard methods of scrolling up and down in the Ledger. A keyboard-only method of selecting all my raised armies and/or fleets. A 'go to this province and merge' command for armies. (Ability to set a rally point would be nice.) A keyboard method of scrolling up and down in the message log. Maybe Ctrl-Up and Ctrl-down?

I don't quite agree with the idea of changing popup placements - I don't want to have to keep moving my mouse to click them away. But when someone dies I'd like any wards they had at the time of their death to stay in their character sheet, so that I can easily find them and choose a new educator. I'd also like a keyboard shortcut for changing between the tabs of the Council window.

I've been playing as a Breton with Tanistry and all went well until I created the Empire of Prydain. When I did that the empire and all my kingdoms changed to gavelkind, but I immediately changed them all to tanistry. But they keep changing back! Does inheritance by a non-king reset everything to gavelkind, or something? E: Or is it when someone with a non-Celtic culture inherits? It seems wrong to me that the law can change itself to suit my culture on day one of my reign, when I am not allowed to change the inheritance law until I've ruled for 10 years. Shouldn't I have a chance to adapt to it? Oh dear me fucked around with this message at 23:19 on Sep 25, 2016 |

When I'm trying to seduce someone and they or I go to war, I get a message saying there's no time for such dalliances, and a choice 'carry on' or 'give up'. And then I get it again and again and again and again and again. Could this be made more infrequent?

Darkrenown posted:Uh. CK2 isn't crashy, and if it was Ironman saving often would be pretty useful in not losing progress. I would have agreed with this until three weeks ago, but then I played on my niece's PC and found that it crashed every time, and corrupted the Ironman save every time it did, so I lost all games. However I did manage to fix this, by changing it to fullscreen mode instead of borderless. Oh dear me fucked around with this message at 17:32 on Nov 22, 2016 |

I'm inclined to agree that the new education system is more reliable, as well as also much more dull, but there are two things I hate about it. One is that I'd rather the second stage were done for me, because 19 times out of 20 I'm going to pick the best thing for the child's traits - but at least there is information on screen to help with doing that. The other is constantly having to switch to the wiki to look up educator intervention traits, which as far as I know aren't explained anywhere in game.

The Cheshire Cat posted:I kind of wish they'd go back and take another crack at the childhood focuses just to balance them out a bit more (especially the fact that indolent/haughty are purely negative for education - I think having negative childhood traits is fine, but having Pride/Etiquette lead to them directly makes those choices a lot less desirable), but I imagine it's not a priority. Educator intervention traits help a bit: haughty can lead to ambitious and indolent to gregarious, which is nice. Only a 25% chance though, or 50% if you're educating yourself.

I love tanistry in the early game, but it's a terrible disaster if anyone with a different culture could possibly inherit, as they revert to gavelkind. Which really seems wrong to me: what happened to new rulers not being able to change rules until they've reigned for 10 years?

Dallan Invictus posted:The game automatically resets to...usually Gavelkind, I think - when a title has an invalid succession law (say, when a non-Celt inherits a Tanistry title or when a non-Muslim inherits an Open title) - this isn't subject to the ten year cooldown. That's what I said - I'm just arguing that it shouldn't be like that. If a realm has tanistry succession, why would they change it just because a non-Celt inherits, when they won't agree to change any other rule for 10 years? (I expect the reason is to nerf tanistry.)

The biggest obstacle for me playing India was my geographical ignorance - I couldn't even guess where or how far away any person was from me. Every time I searched for a wife, for example, I'd have to look up to see where each candidate's claims were, and doing so would make my arrange marriage list disappear and I'd have to start all that again. It's just easier to play a region if I have at least a rough idea of where places are.

Xinder posted:Ireland's relative safety, the ability to conquer at your own pace, and the slow increase in realm size and complexity just seem so perfect for teaching people who know nothing about the game how to play. I can't think of any other part of the map that comes close. If you have Rajas and Horselords (for the Silk Road cash), the Mlechchas in northeast India are pretty safe.

The window that comes up has an explanation of the war in the title. quote:I'd expect to be able to negotiate to keep some of that land, but that doesn't seem to be the case. If you, as an aggressor, have nothing but prestige and a few bucks to lose, where are the consequences for starting an unnecessary war?
