Disillusionist posted:It's weird, I was under the impression that I couldn't fire council members (the option was grayed out), but after playing a while I am now able to. I didn't change any laws, either. 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.

Just decided to bail on my first Kanem game after a series of increasingly worthless rulers either dying instantly or getting kicked around. Partially my fault - should've developed my lands more when I had the prestige to do so. Chess With Death popped up at a complete bullshit time and really screwed me, though. Gonna give it another go tomorrow, I think. Probably with Bigger Revolts turned off; I think that would be fun in a more established realm, but for a tribal society it just ended up feeling like "lol give up a county for a year or more."

Decided to stick out a Kanem game that went sour for a bit. After several instances of male Mais getting done in by either excessive dueling, sudden illness, or Chess with Death, I eventually got a woman - Amina - who took the approach of "stay at home, focus on my family, and keep my vassals happy at any cost." This actually worked out really well; while I was forced to pay tribute to the Aghlabids early into her reign, this kind of worked out in my favor as they helped with a couple of wars and refrained from starting any real trouble. On the other hand, the elders of Hausaland were complete assholes from the jump, constantly threatening to fracture the realm on succession if I didn't dole out the gold. So eventually, after going into debt a couple times to fund wars of conquest, feasts, and a shiny new temple, I manage to scrounge up enough moral authority to reform the religion... despite my co-religionists' incompetence dragging it down. At this point I decide to go into full-on RP territory, so after declaring herself Empress, Amina decides "gently caress kings and gently caress the Elders." Enatic Clans take over, succession switches over to the (relatively) stable and predictable Open method the Sultan and his weird friends use, and all is well. A+ 10/10 DLC, would recommend

Yeah, some kind of "synergizes with" note would be nice. I like that it's not too explicit, though - it's fun to discover stuff. I still think that reformed paganism could really use dynamically-arising variants or heresies instead of just "Old X". It'd be neat if, a hundred years down the line, a once-united religion could have their own little version of the Great Schism or the Shia/Sunni split.

Had a really fun time in my Africa game. An independent member of my dynasty founded the Kingdom of Mali and I wanted to make some claimants so I could go to war for it, so I antagonized her until I could "duel" (read: murder) her senile and depressed rear end. Thing is, I had all her daughters in jail to a previous raid... and due to a quirk of inheritance law (I guess she had no daughters of her own), the new ruler of Mali now had me as her heir. Never mashed "execute prisoner" so enthusiastically before.

Kagon posted:If you're West African Pagan and reform taking Seabound, are you able to do viking style raids, or do you have to do Seabound + Daring? I was hoping to take meritocracy instead of daring so I can get out of the ridiculous situations like nominating my worst possible heir so that my elders nominate a better one just to spite me. I'm pretty sure you only need Seafaring, as Daring is not a prerequisite for raids.

Randarkman posted:Muslims should have Sufis. Agreed on both counts. Speaking of orders that people should get access to, it's weird that taking Monasticism doesn't generate a matching society for Pagans, right? It's enough of an edge case that I could see it being annoying to write a bunch of slightly different flavor and make sure the events and mechanics all make sense, but still.

Man, I did the "Forge Bloodline" thing for the first time today, and I really wish it was a little less opaque what the event-chain ones do. I'm not even sure if the choices I got were tied to the goals I was pursuing or if I just did a completely different thing than my original intent. On the plus side, lots of replay value, I suppose!

SkySteak posted:When it comes to Pagan Reformation, what leaderships did you all pick? In terms of options it seems like the most vague in terms of what benefits and drawbacks it gives you. If it wasn't for the potential loss of Great Holy Wars then Autonomous would be quite a near pick, giving you extra attributes and potential paths to take! Oh, I went with Autonomous anyway, largely for rp reasons. Who needs GHWs when I can just run a regular holy war six times?

Strudel Man posted:Hah. Okay, here's a silly error. You may remember they mentioned, in the dev diary on the return of Hellenism, they mentioned that if a Greek-cultured character reforms the Hellenic faith, the gods return to their Greek names instead of the Roman equivalents. But someone submitted a bug report saying that this wasn't happening, and indeed I found the same in my greek amazon game - not only did they keep the Roman names, but I didn't divest the male gods despite using the enatic clans. It's quite odd, as they have this whole section of code written in scripted_effects to change gods around - not just for Hellenism, but for all the pagan faiths. You're supposed to be able to keep just the male or female gods by using agnatic or enatic clans, or have a single high god and nothing else if you take Dogmatic nature. Plus Hellenism potentially switching to Poseidon/Neptune as their high god if they take seafaring. poo poo, for real? That rules. @paradox fix/re-implement this asap for my Immersion

If you hit 99% warscore but can't "lock it in" due to lack of battles, the AI will generally negotiate anyway. Practically, that's only a concern for human players (who are forced to accept defeat at 100%, but not at 99%, as I understand it.)

In fairness, once the dust settled, it's not like the papacy refused their share of the loot or refused to acknowledge the Latin Empire as legitimate. This is just them getting a head start. Alternatively you could pretend any troops they send are rogue armies I guess?

Vengarr posted:Question about Gavelkind. I had Primogeniture inheritance on the Empire of Abyssinia, with my capital in Fustat, Egypt. Below the Imperial title, the Kingdoms of Egypt and Nubia were Gavelkind. When I died, the Empire and Kingdom of Abyssinia went to my gifted son, and Egypt and Nubia went to his idiot brother. Okay, fair enough. But when he took over, he got the capital county of Fustat! I get that it's also the capital county of Egypt, but I thought the Emperor would always keep the Imperial capital county regardless. I suspect the issue here is that Fustat being an Egyptian county means it's handled with Egyptian laws... which means gavelkind on a county level, not just a kingdom level.

Dr. S.O. Feelgood posted:How the hell do I get people to join my secret Hellenic cult? Making them sympathetic to pagans is easy, but I can't get them to read the drat book I've left them. I've tried it on friends, my wife, other people who have 100 opinion on me, and have been unsuccessful every time. I thought maybe if they were cynical that might help, but it hasn't made a difference so far. I've even reloaded upon failing so I could try all of the available options, but nothing seems to matter. Is it just a very low chance, even if they have a maxed out opinion of me? I'd try asking children, but it looks like you can only ask them if they're in your court and I don't have any that are old enough yet anyway. I'm pretty sure it's a low chance, but it's affected by their traits and rank is well - like, IIRC it's easier to convert untitled and inquisitive folks than uncurious dukes. Make sure you're tutoring children whenever possible, too. Even if you can't convert a duke, converting his son and then killing the old man is just as good.

The intent of the historical bloodlines is that they all happened before the game actually starts so they actually are the historical badasses we know them as, but TOG/Charlemagne make it a bit weird by having a significant number of historical people as playable before they did their big thing.

Or if I've got a claim on another lord's territory, I should be able to court his disaffected vassals to support my claim when I invade. There should be less of a distinction between my realm and foreign realms. Strongly agree. More types of Plot would also be nice.

I don't have a good sense yet for how to size up an opponent. If you go to the character screen and click the Realm Tree button (the org chart lookin' thing next to their crest, opposite the Dynasty Tree button), you can see a quick summary of that character's levy size (current and maximum), as well as that of their overlord and any vassals they have. That levy size will include the "tax" provided by their vassals, unless it's a tribal realm, which works differently.

Agnatic-Cognatic (male-preferential but not male-exclusive) isn't the same as full Cognatic (gender-equal). The latter is only available under certain circumstances, the former should be available to all Christians as far as I'm aware.

In my experience both feudal and republican realms tend towards excessive stability once you get big enough, unless you're actively playing suboptimally. Keeping your vassals sufficiently weak and complacent is trivial with a sufficiently developed demesne, and plots against you become useless once you have enough options for Spymaster. That's half of why I end up abandoning most games, the other half being "I'm sick of getting spammed with notifications by powerless randos halfway across the map"
