Solemn Sloth posted:So if Manicheanism has already replaced Zoroastrianism as the primary faith, and Zoroastrianism exists only as a heresy now, is there any way my Khagan can convert to Zoroastrianism? Haven't had to do this myself for a while, but as far as I remember you'll need to convert to Manicheanism first, then be converted to the Zoroastrinism heresy by the Zoroastrinism version of a bishop researching cultural tech.

MikeC posted:Do I keep doing this ad nauseum until I get lucky? Basically yes. Keep an eye on claims that can be pressed in war so you can plonk one of your dynasty on a throne. If you have elective you can fairly easily engineer the heir of the other country to also become your heir (gift them a barony/ county if you need to get them to show up in your 'heir selection screen' on elective succession. Alternatively and somewhat quicker is to invite claimants, marry/matri-marry so your dynasty is in control (if they're already married then  spouse), give them a barony/ county and push claim. Voilà they are now your vassal. Wipe hands on pants and repeat.

Are there actually any benefits to sending someone off to form a mercenary company? All I can see is the off chance of earning some gold set against a fair chunk of your personal levies being lost permanently. Which is less than great.

ZombieLenin posted:Except there is some debate as to whether or not Syphilis existed in Europe before the discovery of the new world. I'm gonna say this without any quotes or backup but syphillis is a "new world" disease. Basically after 1500 a mysterious disease spread around continental Europe. It was nicknamed it after the neighbouring country, eg France called it "the Spanish disease", Italy called it "the French disease" and so on. There are no records of it during the period the game takes place. That said, I'm glad it's in the game, same as I'm glad Satan's possessed princes are in the game.

Dr. S.O. Feelgood posted:I just restored the Roman Empire. I thought it was going to be really hard and take me a long time but it's only 868. Now I don't know what to do for the rest of the game. Prepare for the jihads and reclaim the rest of the old borders I guess. I wish I had Sunset Invasion turned on because right now only the Shia Caliphate rivals me and not by too much. As it happens this is exactly my game and I've got a couple of questions for people who've played as the Byz before. It's the 9th Century and the Aztecs have landed in Britain and have just taken London. The Abbasids have collapsed due to decadence and I've got all of the Orthodox holy Patriarchs restored apart from Jerusalem, which is also an independent Muslim state, so will be easy enough for me to take. My question is, if I restore the schism and make Catholicism an Orthodox heresy will that remove Crusades as an option for Europe against the Aztecs? Obviously in the long term that's a goal but I want to fight against an interesting Europe and not just the Aztecs and Ummayyads (who have half of France already too).

Volkerball posted:Is there any way to select an army sitting still in enemy territory without blocking half the screen with windows? Every time I try to pick up a sieging unit and move it somewhere else, these pop-ups block whatever I was looking at, and I have to try and look at the map through that tiny little gap on the right. I don't remember it being like this. Yes you click the cross in the corner of the army page to return to the pre-patch version. I do get your point if you're playing on a laptop, and not sure if this can be disabled. Playing on a 21" screen I prefer it as I can change army's generals without pretending to move them and then cancelling it.

I'd say Conclave is my favourite of the DLC. Conclave changes the game a lot but I'd argue it's big positive change. It simulates the political string pulling in the background and makes vassal management and appeasement actually important. People dislike it for two reasons; it was released with a patch that had shattered retreats and it hamstrings the player a lot if they're trying to paint the map as a leader. Incidentally painting the map as a strong vassal is loads more fun and easier with Conclave. Edit: Also shattered retreat isn't all bad. I mean I play with it switched off but if you're bordering a tribal/raiding culture shattered retreat is actually a boon as playing with it off means endless chasing of raider armies as they retreat and whittling down their 2000 size force by 62 soldiers each time. Also it helps a lot when you're on the losing side! Weavered fucked around with this message at 13:53 on Oct 29, 2016 |

GamingHyena posted:I've conquered Ireland and formed a kingdom, but have no idea how to conquer Britannia. What's the easiest way the conquer a kingdom? The Scots are best friends with me right now but both the King and his heir have a wife so I can't marry into the family. England and Wales disappeared under a Norse invasion who look like they could put up a much tougher fight than me. Constantly manufacturing claims on individual counties would take forever. If you're friendly with the Scots and your both about equal power it could be good to try and get in with the heir's second heir (so 4th in line to the throne) then once the marriage is secured his way to the top. Otherwise look for people with claims to Scotland and try invite them to court (if they're already married then ), marry them to someone of your dynasty (again ideally your heir) and press for war. Either way be aware that until you personally own both crowns you won't be able to hold Scotland and Ireland at the same time as a King cannot be vassal to another King.As for upgrading only ever do your own personally held castles and even then you want to be only really bothering with increasing your levies. If your demesne level is fluctuating so much then just focus on your capital province for now. That said if you want to be ambitious save all your money till you take Middlesex, make it your capital and spend all your money there - it's the best holding in Britannia.

Paradox Dev Diary posted:There is a new screen you can open up, which, if you’re within range of China, allows you to interact with the Emperor in various interesting ways. China can grant many wonderful boons if you’re in the emperor’s good graces, but, depending on the current status and policy of the Dragon Throne, the emperor can also decide you’d better show some respect and become a tributary state. When there is turmoil in China, displaced or fleeing armies can arrive on the map and cause all kinds of trouble. China can even seize and rule actual provinces, but the emperor leaves the governing of such areas to the Governor of the Western Protectorate (or, to be a stickler, the “Protectorate General to Pacify the West”.) Potentially, this on-map part of China can grow enormously powerful, but you should not have to worry too much as long as you enjoy the emperor’s grace… I actually think this is a pretty cool way to include China, showing it as this big out of reach super power and also showing that the world doesn't stop at the end of the world map.

My 83 year old Byzantine Emperor has just passed away. The last 50 odd years of his reign he was insane due to syphillis (getting the nickname "the wise" on the way) and struggled with non-stop rebellions, at one point actually losing the throne before managing to win it back by rebelling himself and usurping his usurping aunt. His son sadly died young but he was succeeded by his strong, attractive and ambitious grandson aged 22. Great I think, plenty of time to consolidate and then push on towards reuniting the Roman Empire. He dies in his first battle against some independent Georgian count and now I'm his 3 year old son.  I love this game.

Jazerus posted:Robert de Hauteville of Apulia in 1066. Your immediate goal is to form the Kingdom of Sicily. Seconding this. Personally I've found achievement hunting to make for some fun games. The Abbasids in 1066 with the goal of reforming an empire level caliphate while under the Turks and the Danish start in 1066 with the goal of taking over England. Both are doable but not too easy. Or try to unify India, I've played this game an embarrassing amount of hours but still never done an Indian run.  Edit: Can't remember the name of the dynasty but the Duke of Barcelona in the Old Gods start also made for a good game. Lots of opportunities to expand within Francia with the added benefit of close by crusades/ reconquista into Spain. Weavered fucked around with this message at 16:56 on Aug 14, 2017 |

Conclave totally reworks vassals and would highly recommend it. As a vassal it give you loads mores options and opportunities to gently caress things up and gain power for yourself, you can go full Littlefinger if you get the chance. Then as a ruler it adds a whole new dynamic to the game vassal management is actually A Thing, as vassals who don't like you will act up, so you will need to please them and satisfy their egos to some extent - people on the council don't join factions. So do you stick the most talented man available as your chancellor who might dislike you and cause problems with law changes, your most powerful vassal to keep them under control or a bunch of suck ups who will let you pass any law drat well want. TLDR: Conclave is good.

Honky Dong Country posted:I still do pretty alright even just going with the flow. Honestly focuses from way of life go a long way toward building up a character over time. Here lately I've even grown an appreciation for some of the positive traits the theology focus can give, as well as removing lovely traits. Both the learning based focuses are pretty solid. Theology gives access to pilgrimages and learning allows you to get the Necronomicon and the observatory. That said I still think hunting is the strongest because of the hunting dog and the white stag line.

Interesting you say that as personally I've found it a lot more "meh" than the others, often I just get outright refused. I think depending on your playstyle or if you want to role play there's a strong shout for all of the focus to be The Best Choice™ depending on your situation.

So I’ve had an inconvenient turn of events. Started as the Count of Gotland at the Charlemagne start and... kind of sat on my hands for 80 years. But by my third ruler the viking era had begun and my third ruler was an immense god of war with 27 martial and he had terrorised the British, Irish coast and several mediterranean islands for many years making me quite wealthy, money and prestige used to create the Jarldom of Visby and upgrade Gotland and my Irish and English conquests. All good... Still aged only 30, I decide to strike out for independence while my liege is invading the tribes on the Baltic with an ally, a tribal army and my own levies that are bloated massively thanks to my high martial I easily outnumber the King of Saxony/Denmark who subjugated my first ruler with just under 4000 men. As soon as I destroy my liege’s armies, my liege’s enemies all arrive in Denmark en masse with over 7000 men who make a point of following my men and not leaving us alone, ultimately killing my ruler in battle. I mean guys we can be friends, we basically want the same thing! Then (maybe as I had a temporary title?) my original heir is not chosen and the Jarldom goes to my useless son instead of his mighty nephew. Oh well looks like the mighty republic will have to wait another 100 years before it gets founded.

I agree. Insane rulers should not be calling their Horse Chancellors silly names like Glitterhoof. Hopefully Jade Dragon will address this and add Colin, Steve and Brian to the potential horse name list to make it more realistic. If this isn’t sorted I can’t see Paradox recovering their reputation with fans tbh.
