Wait for a moment of weakness, or create some. Civil wars and succession battles are great times for an outside force to snipe a county or two.

My Russia is loving massive but can only raise 21k with a good and long ruling tsar yet, not even a fully unified england can raise 15k alone, Aquitaine can raise 38(!) and half of Hungry can raise 9k. Is it tied heavily with your martial or something? I have all my contracts on default. How many allies do they have? If you just look at the number on their character page it includes the armies of their allies, Mousing over it should give the breakdown.

Unless there is like a historical bloodfued I doubt a nobleman could realistically take war personally or they would have no one left There's a whole set of customs around that. "The kiss of peace" and similar things. The friendship will be fine, you guys will sponsor a tournament together or have a sleepover and everything will be right as rain.

Marry all your daughters matrilineally to 3rd and 4th sons, unless you really need a powerful ally right now and need to do a normal marriage for one. Have a load of sons and land the ones who don't die in battle, or land one whenever you are over your domain limit. Have the dynasty map bear no resemblance whatsoever to whatever you borders are at the moment. It's a game of dynasties as much as proto-states, so spreading your bloodline over as large a territory as possible strengthens you and gets those crazy dynasty perks. Always Be Breeding.

BigglesSWE posted:It’s like a lot of the fighting sides has a “no prisoner” attitude, which is very much against the norm of medieval European fighting, when a victorious army would be scrambling to get their hands on the enemy nobles, expecting a juicy payday down the road for their release. I could see them adding something to this in the future, having people making their fortune by hunting down particularly rich enemies on the battlefield. This is true, but also you can look at the number of metal facemasks around your court indicating people who have been maimed; there are way too many. Prior to firearms grievous loss of limb was a lot less likely to be seen among veterans, the weapons caused that kind of injury less often and it was more likely to see someone, with many scars, perhaps a missing eye or a damaged leg or arm, but still have all their bits. From acoup.blog: https://acoup.blog/2021/02/12/collections-the-universal-warrior-part-iib-a-soldiers-lot/ quote:Of course the wounds themselves were also different. One thing Hudson notes in the emergence of an English (and later British) pension and hospital system for wounded veterans was how this process was motivated by the change in the kinds of wounds received created by gunpowder weapons. Now of course ancient weapons could also give disabling wounds (note Debby Sneed’s work on the topic of people with disabilities in the ancient world), but the real difference in the lethality of different kinds of weapons matters quite a bit.

Besides the Kru culture down in Guinea in Western Africa, are there any other cultures that start with Practiced Pirates? It's a long way to go for a Norse hybridization, but if you want to be able to keep raiding when you go Feudal and organizer religion it's probably the quickest way to get there.

How are u posted:1) Cats are wonderful. Don't I know it. I have a ruler in still in his twenties who is on his fourth wife. First soulmate wife died to the court serial killer chain, second wife didn't last more than a few months, then the killer was caught. Third wife lived for several years before dying in childbirth. So from marrying at age 16 to being in his late twenties this ruler lost 3 wives, none through his own actions.

Moreau posted:It's for a Mother of Us All run. Typically, I'm not very expansionist and I mostly stick to feudal areas. So this is quite new and forcing me to change my playstyle - looks like Ill need to focus more on the raiding early game for a quick source of prestige. There is a fifty year cool down on it. I just found that out today. Try blending the Akan culture, it has the Mystical Ancestors tradition that can only be added through mixing, you can never develop it otherwise. The Akan are the only culture outside of India, Tibet, and Eastern Asia with access to it.

Moreau posted:I didn't realise Akan had Mystical Ancestors. I was thinking to reform Bori to Warmonger, Gruesome Festivals and Monasticism to control inheritance which obviously invalidate Mystical Ancestors. Will have to ponder this! Just be aware that if you are identified as being in one culture group, you can't mingle with another culture in that group. I found than out after trying to mingle my Norsemen with the Akan and the Kru in succession, If I stayed North Germanic through the first merger it would have worked but I switched to the Akan heritage which they both share with the Guan. Had to reload from an earlier save to get out of that.

I curious what the limits on sharing a Head of Faith will be. What's the point where the Pope stops recognizing you as part of his flock? It will make playing Christian sects more fun, since you might be able to be connected to the Catholic behemoth and still have your own heresy.

Has this always been the case and I just never noticed? You are playing as the Buryat culture and you have the Mystical Ancestors tradition. Only 7 cultures in the game have it and other cultures can only get it through hybridizing.

toasterwarrior posted:Is there a way to become involved in the Iberian Struggle as good ole Haesteinn without losing Asatru? I'm fine with hybridizing culture (never a bad moment for it), but I want to keep raiding and being a dick to the so-called civilized nations. No, you have to switch to a religion that is involved in the struggle. You can create a heresy of that religion the next day easily enough and stay in the Struggle, but you can't do it and stay Asatru. If you reform your hybrid culture to have the Practiced Pirates tradition you will be able to raid regardless of religion.

Bird in a Blender posted:I imagine it’s still really annoying to lose a huge chunk of your realm. Even if you can take it back eventually. I wish there were more claimant/dissolution factions instead of just constant populists with the occasional peasants. Getting knocked down to ducal rank from kingship is seemingly impossible. Edit: I guess I don't view losing chunks of territory as that big a deal past a certain point. That's part of the fun. The problem is that it's too hard to lose titles and drop back to count-duke gameplay after you've grabbed your first kingdom. Servetus fucked around with this message at 15:40 on Jun 29, 2022 |

My theory is to try out some duchies in the HRE, but other suggestions would be appreciated. I think the sons of Ragnar Lothbrok make for a fun game from the 867 start. You get access to the Norse content, you can Varangian all over the world, and you are both giving Renown to the Sigurdr dynasty. So you can build an incredibly far flung and renowned dynasty without direct conflict between you, or you can stay in the same neck of the woods.

Serephina posted:He's talking about new courtiers spun out of thin air by events and such. No idea where the game gets the genetics from, but I hope it's not the realm's ruler? Interesting question. All I know is that when I found the Akano-Norse on the way to becoming the Kingdom of Mann and the Isles the mayor of Hramsa on the Isle of Mann often ends up looking more African then Norse. It might be where you have counties of that culture, I often make sure that I have at least two provinces of Akano-Norse in west Africa so I can get the canoes tech before I hybridize a second time. Having 50-66% of the culture's provinces in Africa may be adjusting the appearance of generated characters. Edit: I don't think it's simply the culture group, because I stay North Germanic forming the Akano-Norse. Servetus fucked around with this message at 14:51 on Jun 30, 2022 |

What are some solid mods to use? I've been looking around the workshop and I've only found a few that I think work well: Less Restricted Iberian Legacies & Less Restricted Northern Legacies https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2815536473 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2815998944 These allow other cultures other than the Norse and the iberians to enjoy (checks notes) plundering, cities, and nepotism. If you have the right cultural traditions you can unlock those legacies. I prefer this to either totally unrestricted or the vanilla restrictions. Balanced Buyable building slots https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2760960044 I just like being able to improve holdings without needing to RNG a Lunatic ruler or only be able to do this to Holmatun. Ecumenical Elopement https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2378956134 Because when two people are willing to forsake the sacred bonds or their marriages to be together, being of different religions isn't likely to stop them. Battlefield Safety https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2216827183 Basically knights and champions wear armor and are more likely to get captured than mangled in the first fight they get into. What are some good mods? I tried Tales of Ireland but I bounced off it. I've been thinking of Sinews of War out but I'm not sure if it's any good?

Once every 50 years by default, but you can change that at the start of the game in the rules.

Light Cavalry does synergize well with Pastorialists Tradition (which should be Pastoralists but the typo is still there.) +1 prowess for all characters of your culture, health bonus for all characters of your culture, -1% Light Cavalry Maintenance for every level of Pastoral Lands in one of your holdings, and +1% Holding tax for every two ranks of Pastoral Lands in that specific holding. Keeps the Light Cavalry cheap and makes knights of your culture slightly better. I have tried the Hobilar swarm myself (4 stacks of Hobilars, the rest Siege equipment), and you tend to either retreat from battles with light losses due to high Screen, or completely exterminate enemy armies due to high pursuit. You are more dependent on your knights though.

Broken Cog posted:Is minmaxing culture that much even necessary? In my Africa game, I hit high and late medieval well before the date you're allowed to switch, and Africa doesn't exactly start with the highest development. That was with 20+ regions having my culture as well. It speeds things up slightly, if you only have a few high development counties of your culture it doesn't require many Scholar-kings to stay ahead of the game. The place where it becomes more release is when you are reforming a culture. As you get more counties adding/swapping Traditions becomes an extremely lengthy process.

Serephina posted:To answer my own question: when diverging, it only swapped my capital. If my capital wasn't the old culture (norse), it picked a seemingly random one which I suspect might have been geographically the closest one available. I also lost my longships (you son of a bitch) so I'm unsure how long the run will last once the Mann buff expires and I can no longer raid. So you lost Longships when diverging? I never seem to lose them when hybridizing. Norse-Guanches get Longships and West African Canoes without needing to research anything. When hybridizing I think it picks counties of your culture that are close to your Capital, unless you have no counties of your culture in which case it picks the counties of the other culture. I have to give Dublin Independence or else it gets hybridized when doing Isle of Mann runs. If I have no Norse counties though, the counties in the Canary islands get hybridized instead and I can research Camels after Onegars, before my second Hybridization. All those Camel riding mercenaries from the Isle of Mann.
