Hey, I took the opportunity to buy the expansions I've been missing during the sale, and I have a bit of a minor question. I made a special character and while in character creation, she has culture specific title. But once I get into the game, she's just called duchess. Other people of her culture have a specific title too though, is this a bug? Or any way to get her her culture specific title?

Torrannor posted:I'm actually not sure if the female form of doux is not duchess. I can't remember ever encountering something like that. If you had a viceroyalty, it would be Strategos/Strategitissa, and Exarch/Exarchessa. But I think female Greek duke-rank characters are still just duchesses. Yeah it's only that for the viceroyalty not the actual duchy. But hey, I've managed to become queen of Greece, leaving me the strongest vassal in the Empire. Though I think I've messed up with the Hellenics. There were only like two people in it and I died suddenly in battle, so while I could convert to Hellenism on the stubborn zealous son I had, now he can't join the Hellenic society because I don't think anyone is IN it right now. Been wanting to get in the society for like 10 years. So I might have to do it in a brute force way. Eimi fucked around with this message at 09:56 on Dec 21, 2018 |

Well the Hellenic secret society just dissolved in my Greek game. Though I keep making the same mistake of straining to push my kids to convert them to Hellenism, and even though it says only 10% they become your rival and get zealous, I've gotten that result all 5 times that event popped up.  At least all the Hellenic communities I prepared in my provinces stayed. Also converting people is insanely hard, even looking up the right way to do the events, they still say no most of the time.

Well I somehow become the Emperor, which isn't exactly what I wanted, but now there's no way to lose the drat title, so I guess I'm suddenly reforming the Roman empire? This isn't really what I'd wished to do, but c'est la vie. I also went and openly converted. I should've used that trick or tyrany, but  Somehow the realm hasn't imploded due to having a Hellenic emperor either.  All hail this glorious fat bastard and his devilspawn heir. I was planning on destroying the Empire and making an Empire of Hellas, just to avoid dealing with the succession laws, but since it's too late for that, if I set my King title to Imperial Succession it will follow the Empire title, right?

Ah, so at least it fixes targeting adults even if kids are still messy? That's a hell of a thing. I might restart just because I really didn't want to restore the Roman Empire, and if I can actually convert my court and vassals it will let me be an even more secure cancer from within.

Strudel Man posted:Line 5185 in events/on_action_events.txt; there's a "hidden_effect = { reformation_god_names_changes_effect = yes }" that's currently commented out. Though I actually left that commented out in my fix mod for now, since the underlying commands it uses are a little broken. When you add the same name for a high god and regular god name, it creates a blank string for the latter that will in fact be used in events (so occasionally you may see "Praise !" where it should be "Praise Zeus!". Also others have said that on a save and reload with the altered god names, all the commas disappear from the list (so if you hover over the religion for info, it'll say the god names are ZeusPoseidonHadesHeraDemeter et cetera). Ah, I see. that is very annoying as I want them to be known by Hellenic names!

So the recent good in my game, the Abbasids just got decadance warred and broken up so I might be able to claim some eastward land. They also unlocked Jihad's but I don't know how as they all seem to still be held by Sunni rulers. The bad, Charlemagne succeeded beyond his wildest dreams and the HRE has France and Italy and Spain.

So....while the Karling blob is still hell...I might have been able to take Rome. Is there any way to burn it without being Byzantine/Roman? Because I really want that event. Sadly I see no intrigue decision. Also I have just been introduced to Threat and wow have I never hated a mechanic as much as I do that one. If I can turn it off, it might just be time for another reroll and to go full Rome. Eimi fucked around with this message at 04:58 on Dec 24, 2018 |

I decided to restart to remove threat, and I'll probably just go for a restore Rome run for the cool togas and having a laurel crown. I am wondering if even with that if I can finagle a way to get the Greek deity names. Like what's the scope on what the gods are called? Could I, as Empress of Byzantium, Delve into the classics, publically declare faith, reform, not convert my heir, and then die, and then my heir would reform Rome and get the Apostate title, because it's the best, and leave me with a Roman empire with Greek deity names?

Strudel Man posted:Greek or Roman deity names are determined by who reforms the faith. If they're culturally Greek, then the gods get the Greek names. In all other cases, they stick with the Roman names. It has nothing to do with the Roman Empire title. That's cool. I got to that point and messed around with some different save states, so it's been interesting. I haven't reformed Rome before so it was a shock that when I did I was still stuck with the lovely Byzantine succession system. I mean I don't even get to keep the OP Byzantine crown, I should be able to change to some succession system that doesn't suck. E: Also is there a mod or something that fixes the barber shop for women? Dudes get a facial hair and haircut option, while as a Byzantine woman, it just gives me various veils and doesn't let me change my character's hair.

I wonder how hard it is to code in a new decision in the intrigue menu. I'd love to add a decision to hold the Olympics for Hellenism, since you lose fairs and feasts. And one to host great games in the arena once per ruler like a grand tournament. Just little bits of extra flavor.

Yeaah, it'll be something I'll have to really sit there and dedicate time to. My overall idea is to have the Olympics as sort of a grand unifying thing in the realm, with decisions for you to like pay for them yourself, have vassals pay, use prestige. If you're restoring Rome it should do more than give you an op CB. And because I'm a historical nerd and think that surely a great and auspicious emperor could think of a system like that of sankin kotai to control their realm and bring back a more administrative than feudal system. Arena games would be the big succession thing where you sac gold to get prestige/piety to get people to love you. And because what Emperor doesn't spend lavishly on their city.  E: How long do you have to wait before you get the option to gain Roman culture? Also going back to an older question, is there a way to edit the barber shop so that it actually changes the hair for women instead of giving you a veil?

I mean changing culture for better clothes is the only reason why I went Roman over Greek. Changes all the random names for the worse but what can you do?binge crotching posted:If I remember right a pretty good all around retinue is to just use the generic shock or defense. Some of the cultural ones are better, but when in doubt just use the generic. I see. I'm still used to cataphracts being unstopped gods of war. I'm guessing that's no longer the case? The cultural building of Roman gives you bonuses to infantry power so I guess that's a benefit. Though something I noticed is that basically killing off the enemy is a lot harder, even with shattered retreat off. You could beat them with a heavy infantry stack, but only kill a handful. Perhaps like a mix of the Roman Pikeman/HI with the cav retinue to run them down after fighting?

I really shouldn't have started in the Charlemagne start, as the world is incredibly stable. As well, my expedition to try and force the other pagan faiths has been pretty ineffective, as soon as I start getting the land for Suomensuko started the locals wanted to adopt Hellenism. Chernigov in particular, who own most of Russia...so so much for that. Maybe if I can I liberate Lithuania/Wendish empire I could get Romuva? I suppose I could fight against the nascent Hellenic kingdoms, but that feels against the kind of feel I want to do for this playthrough.  As well, I've asked a few times, but I wonder if anyone could help me out. When I try to change my hairstyle, it just gives me these stupid veil options instead of actually changing my hair, and I wonder if there was any way I could mod it so I could change my hair.

Whelp, portrait_properties is practically incomprehensible to me, so I guess I'll just edit the headgear files. I'll post the resulting mod here, if anyone cares.

It's not even necessarily that my rulers die, it's how nonsensically the event occurs. If I have an overwhelming numbers advantage, AND I'm winning the battle, AND my character has a high martial score, how they hell are they getting the event where they are are all alone on the battlefield and just die with no other option? I would be more accepting of the event if it occurred when I was losing the battle or just getting crushed by superior numbers, the problem is when I have an army of 1500 and I'm fighting 300 and two flanks have already routed but oops you died.

My capital converted, but it appears none of the other 20+ counties with communities did. It seems when you make the decision to openly convert, only your counties will flip. It doesn't matter if the person who owns the county is also secretly Hellenic, it's only stuff you directly control. Leads me to believe that when you hit the button it doesn't even have the scope to check for other member's controlled counties. Rather annoying that it can't even grant you a conversion buff or something.

For example if you pick enatic clans on reformation, when switching to female god names some of them are left blank leaving you with just a missing god name. The Greek god names for Hellenism are similarly bugged where when you reform as Greek after a save and reload they lose the spaces between them. As well when you play as a female character, you can't change your characters hair, as that feature is broken for women.

Crusades are SUPER op when they unlock early. The Pope probably paid me 15k in total, allowing me to finance a takeover of Byzantium from within by like 1000. The giving you vast sums of gold just for taking part is tuned at a ridiculous level, as I've never had this much legitimately before. (I've never done a merchant playthrough)
