Is anyone else getting the bug where close relatives can be married? For everyone but the played character it doesn't seem to be doing checks on if close relative. And no I'm not playing with weird pervert mods (or any mods)

It's def common but since holy fury I'm getting it literally every time. I wonder if the coding enabling African religion women to get male consorts broke something. Edit: ironically when there is a multiple male consorts situation, parenthood is never in doubt. Like after birth all the dudes are like "that's Steve's right? We all agree it looks like Steve?"

I found the eldership feature where they actively try to pick the worst possible candidate if they're unhappy can lead to some real death spirals. They start picking morons who get plotted against from all sides and who get the new ruler penalty, they hate you so they pick the worst next, you get assassinated, repeat. It was a real threat that made the "no short reign" reform doctrine totally worth it. Then I realized you could just bribe the elders and buy favors.

There also seems to be a random African event where you just suddenly get thousands of gold out of nowhere. But I've only gotten that after being established and feudal.

You can keep eldership as long as your religion can support it through doctrine. So yes. My first African game I didn't know you could just bribe people to support your candidate. That was way harder!

The huge pain is if you're in Africa, an event about almost losing a treasury item to flooding unless you throw a vast fortune away fires roughly every two minutes. It's probably just the advisors getting themselves paid. "Holy poo poo he fell for it again!"

Are they being assassinated or disappearing? Cause the latter is from Satanist infestation. If there is a huge volume of actual assassinations, a good fraction of them will say who killed them on the skull. For at least those you can try to work out the causes.

The 19 thing I didn't know. I have noticed that having 30 courtiers in a court is a highly effective form of birth control, and at more than 30, courtiers start having really unfortunate medical luck.

pidan posted:Some holy order has a bunch of castles in my lands. I can't throw them out via the intrigue menu, I can't declare a holding war, I can't vassalize them, I don't think I'll be able to forge a claim. I think it's the castles that they build on a (new?) holding slot via event. Don't try this in Ironman cause I'm not certain, but: I believe I have been able to vasalize a holy order by granting them a duchy and then asking to vasalize.

Coolguye posted:from what i understand a lot of the problem with making earlier dates is getting data on the period. most of the characters in even 769 are fudged insofar as the names never existed but they need someone to be rando count 465 or they have no data beyond a name so they flatly randomize education, stats, and even health level for them. I've always figured almost all of the barons and many of the counts are made up at most start dates. Are they mostly historical?

I think you advance tolerance technology enough to raise women's rights laws a notch, then you can change to agnatic-cognatic in succession laws. But, in all my Ireland games, I've had access to agnatic-cognatic from the start I think. So if you can't change that in succession laws, hover over it and it will say why not. Could just be a vassal mad at you. Another option without changing law is making lots more bastards via seduction, then legitimizing the ones you want. Your wife already hates you so go nuts.

I think there's a Dev thread on the paradox forums about potential religion changes. Also on the list is separating Zoroastrianism and manicheanism, because that makes no sense.

DeathChicken posted:On that note, I'm unclear as to the line of succession when it comes to my prince-bishop son. Like, that county I gave him earlier reads as having no line of succession at all in the event of his death, he has no kids and I presume it will stay that way as long as he's clergy. If I pile land on him and he dies, does his stuff revert back to me? Pretty sure no, you're giving it to the church when you give it to him.

Set up the greatest warriors in the realm with low intrigue wives. Seduce those wives in the most obvious way possible until you get a rival. Repeat. After five years, choose the war focus and start dueling your new badass rivals. Note this only works if your character is not a great fighter. Also note this doesn't usually work because the greatest warriors in the realm are terrible at noticing their wife is cheating. But it is the most entertaining way to commit suicide.

Master seductress is game breakingly good for any female ruler, because the game makes no distinction between how much a man wants to gently caress a lady and how much he respects her. So even once you have kids, seduction focus is very useful for gay women if you want to set it to easy mode. There might be some difficulty finding enough gay women in the area to level up to master seductress though.

There's only three religions in the game that allow close kin incest and they're all fairly hard to just stumble into. If by chance you are playing Zoroastrianism by accident, you can easily do what the Persians actually did in history and convert to Islam, which will also have the benefit of making the survival and expansion of your realm easier. If you're in a randomized world and you accidentally picked a close kin marrying religion, converting may be harder. Or easier. One of those.

DoubleNegative posted:I had the idea to install a bunch of workshop mods for this play-through. So I installed an ancient religions mod and decided to go with Pagan Egyptian so I could literally be Pharaoh of Egypt. The ancient religions mod author apparently made all of them close kin incest. I've actually been going through the religions definitions file and scraping out every reference to "divine marriage" I can find. It's never enough, though. Oh, got it. Though for what it's worth, that is pretty accurate for ancient Egyptian ruler marriage practices.

Average Bear posted:Well that sucks. That's a big problem with CK2; it wants to be a roleplaying sort of game but there's few roleplaying options. You can't actually be a trade driven monarch because there's only one trade event that fires randomly. Summer fairs and hunts have the most old-paradox rewards possible, such as 20 prestige. Oh, and you can't hunt if you are lunatic, possessed, stressed, because of "health traits". I've been solving this by taking a character's traits and making decisions based on what they would do, rather than trying to drive every character towards optimal traits. But old habits die hard. I was definitely having the most fun with the game when I had no idea how it worked.

If you have a bad heir then you can choose to not role-play them, make optimal decisions, and then as a bonus your bad ruler dies faster from stress.

On the Monarch's challenge, when I log in it shows my score as 0, but as soon as I start playing it presents me with pop ups for the challenges I passed and then if I hit escape, I see the correct score. Is there any way to see what I've unlocked outside of the game? I'm worried that my points aren't actually being recorded, probably due to Mac/steam weirdness.

ninjahedgehog posted:Paranoid is probably my least favorite trait in the game because it gives you the "am I a cuck?" event for literally every single pregnancy whether or not you as a player have any reason to doubt your wife. It'd be one thing if you could game that event after the kid was born to potentially out some lovely heir as a bastard and disinherit them, but as is it's annoying as hell to pop up all the time. That event doesn’t actually let you declare your kid a bastard at will, especially if it isn’t actually a someone else’s. The practical outcome is just your character disliking his wife more the more kids she has. Unless she actually is cheating in which case it makes it easier to catch. The real “turn legit kids into bastards “ mechanic is going to mass after a birth. My queen character had her nonexistent infidelities revealed after taking communion and my badass infant heir got invalidated.

luxury handset posted:i think this is a byproduct of there being only a hundred thousand actual people in the whole world's simulation, and some significant percentage of them choosing the "i'm horny as hell" option I think 10% of the medieval aristocracy being committed adulterers is probably low. They had a huge amount of free time, didn't marry for love or lust, and were exempted from most social norms. The only problems with ck2 seduction is it gives super powers.

New nomad ruler challenge is something. The ruler is absolutely terrible. Martial of 0, no good attributes, bad traits, everyone hates him. How did this guy make it to his mid thirties on the steppe like this. I don't even know what to do. Haven't unpaused. I guess I'll try to beat up the nomads next to me with a slightly smaller army for the prestige and when I probably lose that fight, restart and try something else.

I think societies are very good when they increase your involvement with other characters, but bad when they give you superpowers. This is also why I'm not a big fan of artifacts - the most fun in ck2 imo is trying to keep the kingdom alive when Eric Trump takes the throne, and that's less interesting when the dumbest and most inbred leaders get a million + attributes and buttons to get good traits.

FreudianSlippers posted:What's the easiest Monarch Journey that isn't boring? The recent Lithuanian one, the three points for being Christian while having all of de jure Lithuania is kind of a pain to get all the territory, but after that the rest of the twelve available points is a complete gimmie. Also the first one in France is pretty easy but also pretty boring.
