Late I know but I read through the CK part and I am now eagerly awaiting the EUIII stuff, your works so far looks great.

swamp izzo posted:What happens if the player-controlled HRE manually vassalizes every state in the empire? There would be no electors left... I have some mechanics that make vassals rebel if their combined strength is greater than their overlord, so if you try to vassalize the entire HRE you're probably gonna be in serious trouble.

I hope that when this is done it can be combined with Miscmods somehow and I can play Shattered Europe with a perfectly balanced game.

Throw in that mapmod which converts the game to the V2 map and I'll die a happy man. Or the MEIOU map, but I think it's a bit messier (and harder to deal with since province IDs are all over the place)

What about missions that can be very counter-intuitive in context, like getting missions to vassalise an HRE state when you are the Emperor?

With a lot of the dumb filler missions out, how are you going to keep people from running out of missions? I love your idea of autocoring when you diploannex a vassal. I also hate how drat rare the "Integrate X into our Country" missions are in Vanilla. I don't need a manufacture building, I need a free core, dammit!

This thread has got me thinking about starting up another CK campaign, and this time around I wanted to mod it a bit beforehand, but it turns out that the game stores data differently than EU3. Say I wanted to buff muslims, so that spain and the levant are actual battlegrounds. How would I go about buffing the combat stats and/or economy of the islamic world?

It's about power status, which is calculated from the tax and manpower of your provinces (plus some other things). Also, no, I don't think the Emperor has remotely as many troops as the rest of the Empire combined. Not with my various tweaks.

You could boost the province tax values, which makes them richer and gives them bigger regiments. Just be careful, otherwise you'll get Islamic sheikhdoms in England and Scandinavia.

You could also edit the Middle Eastern nations into the western techgroup. Grenada's still probably going to get swallowed, but I would imagine this would at least stop Spain and Great Britain from conquering Anatolia.

A quick and dirty way is to add stat buffs to the Sunni and Shiite traits. Add some stewardship and they will get more money and troops, for example.

swamp izzo posted:That happens anyways in CK. There's actually a really easy fan-made fix for this that I downloaded from somewhere on the Paradox forums. It just causes ships owned by Muslim countries to sink as soon as they enter the Atlantic (which most of them would have in real life, because it turns out the kind of boats used on the Mediterranean do not work well in the open ocean). It's not necessarily the most elegant solution, but it's far from the least realistic abstraction you'll find in a Paradox game. Of course, the AI won't realise this and could end up drowning their entire army, so if you're worried about making the Muslims more powerful, I guess maybe you wouldn't want that. Just don't be surprised when they abandon Spain for Ireland or something.

They did actually control territory off the coast of Britain. Or at least that's what Wikipedia says. I guess that's all piracy though, which is a slightly different issue.

Corsairs operated regularly in the Atlantic from their base in modern day Tunisia and the surrounding coastline - But certainly not in the era that Crusader Kings is set in. They also didn't have the forces to conquer, rather being the sort of smash and grab raids that were regularly seen in southern Italy in the early middle ages when Sicily was muslim-controlled.

Yeah the reason Muslim Ireland is absurd has less to do with bad ships and more to do with how impossible it would be to sustain an occupation that far away from your bases of power.

Eiba posted:There were actually quite a few Muslim ships operating in the Atlantic, pretty much as privateers, but still. I'm sorry but what scale are we talking about here? Lundy looks like a tiny rock you can take with 50 men, while taking over territory the size of a small CK province would require a whole army with a supply train and reinforcements Grand strategy games have no way to represent raids and small marine actions because they're grand in size, and that's ok

It's a pet peeve of mine in EU3 that the Muslim nations are such pushovers. Unless I do something about it I tend to see Castile (or sometimes Portugal or Great Britain/England) control all of North Africa from Morocco to Egypt by about 1440 and the go on to swallow the middle east.

I'm dealing with a Poland that stretches in a thin line from the Baltic to Thessaly and Thrace, then envelopes most of Anatolia. Past them is NOVGOROD in like 280 pt. font.
