DStecks posted:P sure that king-tier characters cannot swear fealty, and don't the Byzantines get free title revocation? It sounds either impossible or dangerous. You can form a kingdom under an emperor, Sicily is a really nice one... but getting the viceroyalty for that duchy is an absolute bitch. Calabria is a decent place to start if you want to go that route. Technically, you become a despot, not a king and as long as your push through Muslim held Sicily or the off-brand dukes, avoiding Lombardia, it's not all that difficult. Don't form duchies 'til you have to and you can balance out the emperor by marrying into the Karlings for alliances.

With Horse Lords, can sons from any culture be sent off to form a mercenary company or is that just for nomads?

The Zealous trait keeps you from converting, that's the only one I know of. Pagan religions can't demand conversion before reformation, but I don't know if that applies to Judaism.

Does anyone know how to limit the reinforcement rate for start troops for a specific character? Tagging it as 'reinforces = yes' reinforces the entire stack by the end of the month, but it's a bit overkill. Ideally, I'd like around 20-30 per month tops.

If you raise your levies right away, all the smaller Irish armies bypass you and to gently caress off to Mercia so they can get dunked on, then you can pillage churches to your hearts content. You need a good martial roll on character generation though, around 800 or so troops usually does the trick.

Cathars can have women on the counsel, as well as generals and bishops. I think it also negates the 'heir is female' and 'is a woman' affinity maluses for your vassals. All church taxes go into state coffers because there's no head of the religion... I think, maybe you can install a Cathar pope, but that's a long time off from conversion. You can always have the person with the best stats doing what they're best at, but you'll need it cuz it's the loving end times with how often you're gonna get holy wars declared on you.

The problem with the current education system is that the events which lead to trait development can fire for any member of the court, not exclusively to the educator. It's kinda fluffy when you're stuck in a long regency, but for the most part just sucks.

tanistry doesn't go about creating the tiocracy, great term, cuz as long as those old farts have land they won't get elected. towns, churches, baronies... whatever, as long as they have poo poo the voting systems just knocks them right out of contention. the ai hates voting for people who have holdings, which leaves them defaulting to random kids... probably not your own sons, but someone's, as long as that kid isn't first in-line to inherit anything already. I think the logic is that they're looking for someone they can bully, but that'll just be the player so good luck with that.

if you've got a decent spymaster they'll plot something stupid eventually, then park an army on their capitol and hit the arrest button. the arrest won't really work, usually, but you can smash the rest of their forces when they rebel. it's been so long since I've played any version other than hip, but can't you start revoking titles at level 2 tribal?

stay dirtbag, un-reformed norse by changing your culture to some version of celtic and becoming a tanistry, then broodmare the rest of your children through matrilineal marriages for a couple of generations. reforming the faith is fuckin' tedious and getting into a decade of wars with most of europe over like two provinces just adds to that.

duke of calabria (769 or 867) is a pretty sweet starting spot too. you can bite off chunks of sicily and southern italy, while nobody will gently caress with you cuz you're byzantine. plus if you manage to form a kingdom you get the rad title of despot. who doesn't want to be a despot? seriously, being a king in the byzantine empire is rad.

it's also pretty easy to game elective gavelkind if you have access to decent conquest cbs. have as many off-brand counties outside of your capitol duchy or petty kingdom as you do sons. just only have the one top level title... or some weird titular/single county title that'll you'll eventually have to kill a brother for, but you know, that's a pretty cake war cuz he only has the one county.

before they turned seduction focus off for ai characters, my bastard half-brother Guttorm, count of Paris, once sired six bastards in additon to four natural born children from three different wives. dude spent twenty years on the edge of a viking kingdom with close to three thousand men under his command and never conquered a single loving thing, aside from the wives of francia occidentalis. I am actually slightly jealous of my fake half-brother.

don't remember the exact mechanics of it, but if you have vassal kings then grant them each a single county somewhere near your capital then you can raise their entire army from that county(?) not sure how it works, cuz it's kinda cheesedick, but people who play at the empire level always bring that one up personally, being a king in an empire is way more fun
