I've used the Imperator to CK3 save converter and have been having a great time making the Lusitanian Empire the biggest, bestest thing. It started in 0 AD, and right now I'm in year 500 with everything pretty much stabilized. As I'm thinking of going all the way up to Stellaris, I've decided to not conquer everything and instead I've been focusing in keeping Iberia and Africa (only the north and center) part of the Empire. I sometimes just go conquer a kingdom and give it to one of my sons or family members and see if they can keep it or not (so far, they established control over Brittania and Normandy).

My current Emperor is pretty sweet, the guy is paranoid so I had to get learning done ASAP so I wouldn't die from stress and the guy just became a god at war and doesn't get stressed anymore. I'll probably conquer Egypt and Nubia with him and just gift those areas to his sons.

I did have one question, though, it's not possible to have several accolades that buff the same type of MAA regiment, right?

Hey, I have a question.

I changed my religion to one where there is an analogue for the Pope, so I no longer am a Head of Faith but one of my vassals is. Because I like to see the same color, I decided to just give him independence and then I thought, "Hey, no biggie, I'll just invade him later and end the religion", because I'd never be able to convert him or his lands otherwise.

The guy somehow has 30 000 men as mercenaries and I just can't figure how. I have, like, 8000 as mercenaries if I hire all available companies. How does he have so many? Oh, and they refresh almost instantly too, because I killed several of those mercenary armies and he just keeps on trucking.

The year is 767.

vanilla starts in 867 or 1066 so you are playing some kind of mod, in which case the weird merc thing is probably something that mod does

It's a save converter from Imperator to CK3, it's the only mod and I didn't see anyone else ever doing this. Might be a bug or something. I just found it odd because it means he has has access to at least 10 or 15 mercenary companies.

Are you sure they’re not holy orders?

I think they are not, because his faith is an ofshoot of mine and I can't hire Holy Orders when at war with him.

Also, like, where is this pope analogue located compared to you? The mercenary pools are region-based IIRC, their region may simply have access to more (I don't think it's ever been explained how that is calculated but I assume it's dynamic somehow just from observed behavior).

He is in Nubia and Taifa. Well, not Taifa anymore, I conquered it back. He's right next to me.
