Hey, by the way - sorry if this has been asked a hundred times already, (currently at work so I can't buy the expack and see for myself...and I haven't kept up to date on all the dev diaries, so I must've missed one mentioning this game mode) but are animal kingdom games ironman compatible? No big deal if not, though. But also, do the various races live as long as they should in reality, or do they have human lifespans? (i.e. hedgehogs living to around 5yrs. I hope they don't get 'short reign' penalties in their culture!  )

Oh, just had a thought: In the animal kingdoms mode, are the mongol (and aztec) invaders human, or random-gen animals? Also, I just realised that the 'generated historical families' option would make a playthrough as that eunuch who owns Galilee a lot easier (granted, at the expense of mandatory satanic phallus regrowth fun), unless it factors in whether or not the character is a eunuch. Hmm... Major Isoor fucked around with this message at 03:27 on Nov 14, 2018 |

Dareon posted:It's also worth noting that if you generate multiple random/shattered worlds to get cultures where you want them (Say you want to be a scandinavian bear or Irish Mali), the ones you don't use start to pile up, which can be an issue if you have relatively finite hard drive space. Oh, right! So where are they stored? I assume in the CK2 folder in your Windows profile, but is there a separate folder for shattered worlds, or are they tucked away somewhere else? (Since yeah, that might explain a few things, seeing as I have generated quite a few new shattered worlds... )

Should I take the tyranny hit and just imprison and strip the competitor? Or else could I get a rundown of the best way to influence votes? I already switched away from papal investiture. I'd just take the hit, personally - often it's the defeats (followed by scheming your way back up) that are the most enjoyable parts of the game! It sounds like you're in a very strong position anyway, so I'm sure the firstborn could plot his way back to have the empire title, later on

Since that's the only non-bug reason that I can think of, which could explain why it changed. (Sort of like how you can revert from Tanistry -or at least used to- if you switch culture) It does remind me that I need to give Africa another go at some stage, though

Node posted:Do viceroyalties not declare war or something? Sorry for being dense about this. No, but you limit their power. Since vassal kings (and viceroys too, to an extent) will try revoking their own vassals' duchies and expand outside their own kingdom in order to give themselves more power. You limit that because it'll only last one generation, at most. Also, I'm pretty sure that if someone happens to usurp another kingdom/viceroyalty from another vassal, when they die it'll still go back to you, so you can split them up again. (There was a bug that made it so when they usurp the viceroyalty, it'll become a regular kingdom. That was fixed a while ago though, I think?) Also, once they die, instead of having to deal with their kid, you can pass the title to someone else in the kingdom (who holds less power, personally) so that they waste their time with picking apart the previous guy who spent their life picking apart the new viceroy's personal holdings. It'll also make the new guy like you more (as you gave them a title, which gives an opinion bonus) EDIT: Beaten; coolguye wrote it up better. Basically yeah, you just make it so the viceroys all like you, and keep the kingdoms locked down so that no individual vassal plots their way into possessing two kingdoms, etc.

I personally wouldn't worry about viceroy duchies, though. That's just far too much work, for an empire. (Hmm, although now that I think about it, it might be OK to have viceroy duchies within your personal kingdom, perhaps? Just to make sure there's not just like, you and a super-duke or two)

Coolguye posted:By the time you are an emperor if you have to worry about any combination of your direct vassal dukes coming after you then you have done something extremely wrong. Most of them shouldn't even be feudal, you should have at least one duchy as a merchant republic and another one as a theocracy - even if you are landlocked and the MR can't do much of anything, the point is that MR and theocracy vassals do not play 85% of the intrigue games that turn into problems for you to solve. This is doubly true if you do levy-focused vassal obligations on your theocratic vassals and the AI suddenly feels a lot weaker in comparison to you, even while you are building military buildings in their territory. Yeah, that's true. I dunno, I guess I'm just trying to find some kind of use for viceroy duchies! Actually, are there still all those vassal opinion requirements for changing crown laws, and the like? Or did that change with the council expansion? Since I guess it might be semi-useful, for that - since they'll at least love you for giving them a title, which will make that a little easier; for your personal kingdom, anyway.

I mean, it's all personal preference really, but I feel that you're simply not doing yourself any favours by locking yourself out of mechanics like that. Just start off as a count/duke and generally by the time you're a powerful king, you'll have a firm enough grasp on the mechanics to know not to give the council powers willy-nilly, etc. (While still reaping the other benefits of the expansion)

Unless they occasionally drop free DLC or coupons or something, I'd just as soon skip. I'm pretty sure they have actually given out a couple of free cosmetic DLCs to people with Paradox accounts (you'd have to link your license key/Steam account to it too I think, so that it knows you have the game registered to that account) but that's only happened once or twice, so it's not really a big deal either way.

Average Bear posted:Temporal can work with ancestor veneration. The catch is you have to give the title of Fylkir or whatever to your heir before you die. Woah, why what happens if you die while being the Fylkir? Does it go to a landed priest in your realm, or something? I've only played as a reformed pagan prior to the changes in HF. Speaking of which though, isn't there an option that makes it so there's a 'head of the faith' per realm, like Orthodox Patriarchs? If so, do you get to keep the title, or does it go to your chaplain or something?

So, right now I'm torn. For ages I've been planning on starting as a Norse character, then migrating to the Mediterranean islands (with my capital as Sardinia) before pillaging the catholic and muslim states for gold and eventually reforming. However, aren't the only holy sites up in Scandinavia and northern Europe? Since I'd ideally like to reform either before or after the migration, but I don't really want to have to spend ages to make an empire in order to reform, then eventually migrate and start from scratch as planned.  I haven't tried out the new crusade mechanics though, so I'm tempted to convert to catholicism after a couple hundred years of pillaging.I do think the new reformation mechanics would be better, though. How feasible would it be to leave obtaining the holy sites to the AI? Since surely if I'm frequently raiding and sacrificing the Pope (after burning Rome, of course) our moral authority will be good enough to reform.

Hey, just a quick question (bit of a newbie question, but I haven't used gavelkind in forever) but if -for example- I have three duchies and three sons under gavelkind, if I give two sons the secondary duchies prior to my death, will the last son inherit my remaining duchy upon my death, without my other sons getting additional slices of the pie? If so, what happens if one of the two sons I land pre-death is my first-born? Will that cause issues? Like, will I take over as them in their own duchy, instead of the son I left unlanded until my death?

Well, I've finally had my first beatified ruler, immediately followed by my first canonised ruler! So yeah, (EDIT: Halsten also discovered that the world is round which, much to the chagrin of the church, he published. So I would like to believe that the 'pissed off the church' modifier he received for this was a factor in the AI's decision to not canonize him. Since he was otherwise a very pious man, who gave a lot to the church) But anyway, when he later died his son Asbjorn (who was probably around five years old, when the mass conversion occurred) inherited. It seemed like he'd be a sinful, scheming and adulterous ruler - due to his education in intrigue and behaviour while under AI control. (And honestly, I fully intended on continuing with that! The little 'schemer's moustache' he had by default helped that image, too) However after his father was beatified, he shed all his bad traits and started to become a rather pious man. Contrary to Halsten's rather peaceful reign, Asbjorn's main events in his life revolved around war. Not long after his father was beatified and he was crowned by the Pope (in exchange for returning the Holy Prepuce, which one of his ancestors took from Rome during a raid) a Crusade was called - for Thrace, no less. Since the Byzantine Empire was shattered during the second Crusade - and eventually, Slavic pagans overran the Latin Empire, which prompted this Crusade. (Additionally, the first Crusade was won/averted? by the Peasant's Crusade; and those peasants still hold Jerusalem and most of Arabia to this day) So what did Asbjorn do? In order to prove his peoples' loyalty to God, he sailed over and dominated the battlefield. Thanks to his actions, the Crusade was won - and he was given piles of treasure (as well as the nickname 'the Sword of God') by the Pope in return. Directly after this though, two Jihads -one Sunni, one Shia- were declared on him one after the other. He managed to fend them off though, and had a few years of peace to allow for his levies to be replenished...But well, the next Pope clearly felt he had to make a name for himself, so he declared a Crusade on Egypt, which Asbjorn also won for the Pope. This time though, instead of allowing the Pope to dole it out to a random noble he liked, Asbjorn designated his own wife (who uh, was also his niece...who was also like, 20 years younger than him) as the recipient of the new Christian Kingdom. Here's a screenshot of my shiny new saint. He ended up having every single virtue, and founded two bloodlines; one from being a saint, as well as one for winning multiple Crusades. Not too shabby, really! I quite like the addition of bloodlines and sainthood, in Holy Fury. Major Isoor fucked around with this message at 07:10 on Aug 27, 2019 |
