Guys, I might've accidentally joined a crusade and enforced my beneficiary as the successor of the new kingdom, not realizing this would make him independent and no longer able to be my heir.

This next succession could get ugly...

Am I missing some clever icon or keyboard shortcut or is there no way to raise specific parts of your army? All I want is to get my men at arms, a few knights, and maybe some levies, but there doesn't seem to be any sensible way to be that selective. Individual merc units can be raised, and levies can sort of (imprecisely) be divvied up by having multiple rally points, but actually trying to raise anything other than those mercs just makes a huge pile of just about everything that I then have to go through to separate and disband the bits I don't want. And if there are any hostiles nearby, not even that option is available. What am I missing? Or is the game that is missing that? I just want simple “raise [whatever]” buttons on the men-at-arm companies and knights.

So I'm a few generations into my Daurama run and finally get to reform my faith. I leave it with the equal gender doctrine it starts with because no way am I gonna be limiting myself on potential knights but apparently doing so overrides my realm's female preference succession (which is the main defining feature of that start). And I can't change it back without going feudal. So now this interesting dynasty just turned real generic.Tippis posted:Am I missing some clever icon or keyboard shortcut or is there no way to raise specific parts of your army? Nope. The best thing you can do is to ctrl+move order to stop the gathering order before your levies show up or after you have the levies you want.

I've been poking around save files, and think I've found something interesting. If your wife (or any woman) has more than one lover at the time she gets pregnant, her male virile lovers will all be listed as potential fathers for the offspring. Her husband at the time will be considered the real father, but having several potential fathers makes it possible for the event where the child's true parentage is put in doubt to pop. The game told me one of my vassals was the father of my heir, and both debug mode and the save file listed him as her real father. I loaded an earlier save (a few years before the event popped) and at this point, neither the save nor debug mode listed him as such. I also couldn't find anything in the save indicating that he was her potential father, so I don't know where or how the game stores that information between the child being born and the event popping. Also, it seems the game will lie to you. Even if you are the real father, it might still tell you that your best friend, Jarl Dickbag, is the kid's actual father. Figuring out who the real father is isn't easy, but traits can give you an idea, as can the DNA string. My heir had quick listed as a recessive trait, and neither her mother nor her claimed real father had it, but my character did. The DNA string (like in CK2, it decides a characters looks, but it's a lot longer with a lot more variables, for obvious reasons) seemed to support the notion that I was the real father as well, as her's had a lot more in common with my character's than her claimed real father's. The game lying about it is actually pretty cool. If some Jarl had doinked your wife around the time she became pregnant, it makes perfect sense that he might try to use this to sow doubt about the legitimacy of a potential heir.

I've married a group of lovely women with claims on the kingdoms of Norway and Sweden and the Byzantine Empire. However, when I attempt to declare war to press those claims, they simply don't appear in the claims list. The Norwegian girl has a few other claims, which I can press, but the Swedish and Byzantine ladies simply return an empty drop-down menu. What's going on?

wizardofloneliness posted:Does anyone know if the bonuses from a special duchy building still apply to me if I give the county away? I have a county that I built a leisure palace in, which gives bonus prestige, stress loss, and scheme success chance to me. It says the bonuses are realm-wide instead of just for that duchy or holding, so I'd think it would still apply to me but you never know with this game. I have some more valuable counties I want instead so I was thinking of letting this one go. Tax or levy increase is rediculous on farming terrain due to that terrain having duplicate economic or levy buildings. Building up Paris or London with those buildings too and their special buildings can basically make those duchies equivalent to a small Kingdom. Military academies or palaces are good for small, landlocked duchies since you don't get much return on %increases. The others are a little more situational and depend on what kind of army you are building. Marches are excellent for spots that you want to be effectively uncrackable. Extremely good on mountain passes, but kind of poo poo if they are near the ocean due to how easy it is to traverse around landlocks via the sea. The hunting reserve is baffling to me and I am not sure why you'd take that one compared to the alternatives. Fortunately you can always replace the duchy building and take the loss if you really need to. It's way better to just use the slot for what you need most rather than leave it empty.

I touched on this earlier, the intrigue "fabricate secrets" will literally change this in the debug menu. Homosexual or asexual characters, therefor ones not actually valid as a target for seduction (by a man, anyhow) can have their child's "real father" overwritten with the intrigue options. Intrigue is literal sorcery.

Communist Thoughts posted:even with high partition i still get my duchy broken up on succession and only get the capital county is that intended? Depends on what else you own, and how much. While it is supposed to give the primary heir a significant portion of the titles, including a bunch of de jure titles, exactly what counts as “direct De Jure Titles associated with it” (what is even ‘it’ in this case?) is a bit unclear. Similar confusion seems to exist with exclave independence. It also seems like partition is still the primary logic to be enforced, even though the description seems to suggest that other considerations such as “always inheriting at least half” the titles should rank higher. So the other kids get something, even in instances where this necessarily means the primary heir doesn't get half the titles or those undefined “direct de jure titles”. It may just be a case of the realm being too small to really let those guaranteed portions come into play.

If anyone want a bit of a different start, there is a single Taoist ruler in eastern Tibet at the 867 start date. You start with a fairly decent duchy, equal laws, and your religious tenets makes converting counties a lot faster, so it doesn't matter so much that every single county in the region is a different religion.

Great game so far. Feels like they managed to keep all the fun bits from CK2 and remove most of the clutter. Are there any gameplay options / mods that fix the following? - Doing away with exclaves completely (even removing the naval paths exception)? These Swedish colonies everywhere are getting ridiculous. - Reducing boarding time for raiders? I mean, it's supposed to be a smash-and-grab operation, so why does it take my guys a month to get back in their boats? - Also, some way to interrupt raiding once it's started? - Ungroup the message notifier thing at the top? (Ok, I have 15 alerts - how many are important?) For the first 3, the only solution I've found is to switch to the other character and grant independence to exclaves, or cancel their troops so at least my raiders have a chance to do something before they're stomped.

Communist Walrus posted:Do I need to give a poo poo about the level of control in my vassals' lands? Honestly, yeah. Or at least if your vassals are someone you care about, like family. Low control leads to peasant rebellions, and those have a tendency to kill off vassal courtiers if they manage to win a siege.

Anyone know what the deal with development growth is? I feel like it's not explained at all, counties get it from their neighbours but the only place I can see it being generated is in Rome, because it has the modifier 'developing county'. So it's developing because it's developing. I'm tribal so I do need to get some development at some point. e: Figured it out immediately after posting, you need to assign your steward to do it.

As a tribal, or at the very least as Norse, you can get development points in your capital from raiding. Sometimes you get an event that gives you a choice between some cash/prestige, or a big chunk of development progress in your capital. Other than that, set your steward to the "develop county" task.
