If they're truly empowered he can't change council members without a council vote. At that point it's just a whole lot of bribing.

MaxieSatan posted:I think that might have to do with either a new ruler's short reign penalty or an active regency, but don't quote me on that. Short reign has never been an issue for me, not sure about regency. It's also entirely possible one of the council members initated a vote to un-empower the council or something equally silly

Bakanogami posted:Oh right, I forgot that was when those hit. Shattered retreats are kinda irritating at times but whatever, you can turn them off. I honestly find them less irritating than chasing an army back and forth between two provinces for 30 minutes Besides, having some army shatter halfway across the continent and not make it back before I siege their capital is great

MATN has a long running ck2 empire of Cromwell campaign going, but he can be frustrating in that a) it's his first game ever and mistakes are made and b) he's notoriously bad at noticing things

The Cheshire Cat posted:The thing about let's plays is that the latter annoys me so much more than the former. I don't mind if they make dumb strategic decisions because it's more entertaining that way, especially in a game like CK2 where losing can be as interesting as winning so long as you don't get kicked right into a game over. What's frustrating is when they just cannot figure out how to do a thing that has a big button right on the main UI. Less that he can't find how to do things, more like not paying attention to the chair icon on the top bar and wondering three years later why he does't have a steward

I have to say the tribal army change is really irritating when it comes to uprisings. One of my neighbors in a 769 Africa start is now just sitting on an upkeep free 3k doomstack of event spawned troops and is just gobbling up the small guys. Pushing a button for 2500 dudes to deal with that problem is missed

wiegieman posted:Can you so this without banishing or getting a bunch of tyranny penalties? Standard "ask to leave court" 5 prestige hit and the disappointed opinion malus. The only people that seem to get a vote are 50+ year old people in your court, none of my elder vassals or such got a vote, and random 50+ year old people I invited for commanders and such suddenly did get a vote, so really Eldership just seems to require regular court grooming.

Depends on the tribal.

Eldership is like a massively worse version of Tanistry, how exciting! Also, man is it annoying making empires in Africa. Tribals make no money to speak of, and there's not much raiding in the Sahara. And in my particular case it doesn't help that the Sultanate of Africa is snowballing hard. I've got 13k troops in Songhai and I'm barely keeping pace. Getting that last 600 gold is gonna be slooow

Asproigerosis posted:am I a coward if I take off shattered retreat? It's absolutely miserable crushing a stack only for them to lose maybe 20% and having to chase them around instead of sieging. Grab a siege leader of some variety and just take down a country or two while their army is on extended holiday. Killing a 10k stack 20 dudes at a time in two second no morale battles isn't that entertaining either

Sulphagnist posted:It probably needs a tiny bit of fine-tuning because no matter how much the Pope wants the Duchy of Ferrara, un-excommunicating a King for going on a crusade only to excommunicate him again while he's neck deep fighting infidels in the Holy Land is excessive and would have caused a huge ruckus for a real Pope. In my first Ireland campaign I won the first crusade, the pope died like 2 minutes after the crusade ended, and I got excommunicated immediately by the new one. Pope AI be crazy

Orcs and Ostriches posted:What are peoples' thoughts on the new tribal retinues? Sometimes I miss the ability to burst out units quick, but having a thousands strong army just sitting around has been helpful as well. Chews through money, though, and smaller tribal realms seem to put up a much better fight. The tribal retinues cost prestige to maintain, not money, at least mine does. I'm at like -1.5 prestige a month maintaining my 1800 troops

Gobblecoque posted:First shot at the Byzantines I died in battle after a few years; this time I cannot manage to die no matter what I do. My dude is old, depressed, stressed, has cancer, other diseases at various times, and I've had him leading armies all the time. Even when I tried to commit suicide I just ended up incapable so I'm probably gonna survive another 20 years and outlive all my heirs. Come to Africa. I lose about two commanders per war and multiple rulers already. My best run so far was 7 commanders in 5 engagements.

Roland Jones posted:Huh, I was going to ask about how, since female rulers can get concubines depending on religion now, is who the father is assigned? It seems reasonable to just have them all "officially" be the husband's, but apparently that's not the case. Hopefully that doesn't mess up any bloodline shenanigans or whatever. I had two consorts on my Queen and all 6 pregnancies said "My husband is sure to be pleased", but the kids themselves did show the consort as the father and had the usual "Child of a consort" diplomacy hit. Weirdly I ended up with 2 kids from each of them.

twistedmentat posted:I think I'm still tribal. And Yea I'm just a petty king. How do you get into Feudalism? Its almost 900 right now so I don't know if that's a time sensitive thing involving events or just a tech thing. feudalism from tribal requires a level 4 fort in your capital and absolute tribal authority in the laws. All of your tribal vassals will hate you for having a council. It's great having to bribe your council into voting for increasing their power.

SkySteak posted:When it comes to Pagans and Reformation, how does 'Meritocracy' and Elective Gavelkind interact? Does it simply mean I can force designate a primary heir but the junior air concept still applies, or can I literally just bypass the whole mechanic? Asking as I am on an ironman save and sadly do not have the ability to test/redo. You just define who gets the top titles, instead of it being primogeniture based. It's still just gavalkind otherwise. e: misread, I don't actually know how it interacts with the elective part of it

Denmark took all of Scandinavia and reformed the Germanic religion 15 years in. Meanwhile I was just trying to do quickly do the United the Kingdoms achievement.

Discovered something I didn't know today. Playing as the merchant republic of Britannia and some random vassal got me excommunicated. The Pope demanded that I become Gavalkind to repent. I said OK, and it switched the republic to gavalkind for about a third of a second then it snapped back to the standard patrician elections, but that was good enough for the Pope, and now all of my family has a +15 "love that new gavalkind inheritance!" +15 modifier. Seems marginally buggy.

I leave most of the council power in place just to keep factions down, but anything I want to use a lot I buy favors and turn off. Generally just wars and grant titles (the latter because it annoys the hell out of me that I'll have like -30 "Too many duchies" and the fuckers refuse to let me hand any out)
