Coming in with EU experience but no CK knowledge: is Yumtän's warmongering going to result in a coalition against him?

You basically have to eat an area the size of France before you get a defensive pact large enough to cause you problems.

To be fair, we are talking about the Byzantines here; this might be a "he died of severe indigestion that coincidentally happened to have symptoms similar to 16 knife wounds to the back" kind of thing.

Problem: the Mongols are conquering us from the north.

Solution: just conquer south and slowly shift the entire country into India.

That's CK2 for you - I had a game before they reduced the diplomatic distance where it seems like the *Entirety* of Ethiopia crashed onto the couch of Ireland after the country got ate by one of the Muslim megablobs.

I love it when you look at your list of courtiers and it's full of random-rear end nobles from half a continent away who just... silently moved in at some point. "Who the gently caress are all of you? Who told you you could sleep here?"

As I understand it, nomads have a huge, but hidden advantage: armies (well, flanks of armies) that consist of just a single unit type are dramatically stronger than mixed armies, since they have access to much better tactics in combat. However, only nomads can take advantage of this: levies will always be mixed, while retinues can be pure, and nomad armies are all retinues. So as a nomad you can build an army of 10,000 light cav and watch it crush stacks twice its size.

Yeah, a lot of costs are just some flat percentage of your yearly income, so if you're rich you'll get situations where you pass a beggar and are given the choice between becoming Cruel or giving them "a few coppers" to the tune of hundreds of gold.

i dont play these games so im not sure what all those numbers on our ruler mean but from how y'all are reacting i think its safe to assume that they are good numbers

For reference, a 10 in a stat is fairly good. 20 is amazing, marking you as a master of whatever that thing is. The game gives Ghenghis Khan something like a 25 in Martial.

Our beloved empress has nothing below a 17, and a 30 in Intrigue.

Rody One Half posted:

As far as giving Tibet vassals goes, that'd be an idea except the arc of the last couple of rulers was the increasing centralization of power.

I'd honestly go so far as to say gently caress it, leave us as we are and just let us have periodic blob nightmare wars with the Chinese-Tibetans.

Well, Lasya concentrated a huge amount of power in her own person, but she was a divinely/demonically-inspired hyper-genius. It seems reasonable to me to say that her successors weren't able to keep all those plates spinning, and lost (or gave up) some of their control following her death.
