yikes! posted:I United the West Slavs as Bohemia which sets you to absolute crown authority and was excited to designate an heir instead of continuing the line of 60 year olds that keep inheriting (Czechs get seniority succession from the start). This did not work the way I wanted. I got to play as that dude, and my treasury and man at arms went to him, but all the titles still went to the old fella. I couldn’t undesignate my heir when I realized things weren’t going to work or designate the old dude as my heir because he was from a different branch I guess. I also tried lowering crown authority but it kept the heir designation just wouldn’t let me change it anymore. e: oops quote is not edit

I've come close to strengthen bloodline but I hit a generation where every one of my kids was the result of infidelity and it ruined my progress.

Playing as the Irish high king, my brother, who was also my heir, led a rebellion against me, killing me in combat, which meant I lost the war, which meant I started playing as him, which meant I won the war and became the king.

Succession tab is like, the most important tab. I check it feverishly when taking over new territory and forming titles. If people are struggling with losing kingdoms as UK starts, I've never had an issue with Saxon Elective as a popular ruler for non-primary ones. Honestly though, losing all of Ireland is probably less important to me than losing two developed counties. Six personal counties or so is probably the income equivalent of my entire Empire.

I'm trying to weigh whether I want to marry her when she comes of age to get more childbearing years out of her against waiting until closer to the time that she inherits to try and get better heirs out of her. I took it in my Rurik game, and with the first four perks in blood, and then some time later the Strengthen Bloodline decision, I was routinely popping out multiple Beautiful Herculean Geniuses. Architected Ancestry only let me pick the tier one traits though Quick/Comely/Hale/Fecund, and I didn't pick Fecund so it's tough to say if it was working. But those first two blood picks are totally worth it. That said playing as a Herculean character who never dies is honestly kinda lame? Short of becoming Obese pretty much every character I had in that line lived to be 80+, and so you only ever got to play characters who were 50+ since there's no good way to skip a generation. Which is a real shame because playing as a minor actually kinda rules. PittTheElder fucked around with this message at 17:36 on Sep 14, 2020 |

I've reached a point where my Pikemen/Huscarls deathstack just instantly stackwipes anything below 10k and brutalizes anything past that with an insane k/d ratio. I don't even have cavalry for pursuit; clearly they don't need it. But yeah, just a heads-up: at a certain point levies are useless fodder and actual Men-at-arms are stupidly cost-effective and much less hassle to actually move around due to supply constraints. I'd say it's around the time you can get two duchy buildings online and can maintain a full complement of MAA, probably around 1050 or so. Don't even bother raising levies anymore; if anything the low stack size compared to whatever the AI can usually muster fools them into attacking you, leading to complete massacres.

here's a slapdash mod that claims to sort of fix AI matrilineal https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2228887124 1) if faith female dominated, children under 6 will be of the woman's house (and culture, and religion, i guess) (i guess the under 6 thing is to give you some wiggle room to marry if you have some bastards? idk) 2) equality = higher title rank (or higher prestige rank if title rank is equivalent) 3) male dominated = the same as equality strong bird fucked around with this message at 17:42 on Sep 14, 2020 |

it should be said that this might break the game just as badly as not having matrilineal marriages: if the AI is thinking theyre getting a regular marriage, they'll maybe offer their heir and then lose it on succession.

 So my elective succession is coming back to bite me in the rear end, the electors refuse to vote for anyone who isn't loving ancient. The top ranked is currently my 63 year old half-brother who is most certainly going to die soon. The problem is, I'm 62, so I can't bank on outliving him for very long either. Neither of us are going to hold onto this mess for very long, and there's a real risk of the empire splintering two successions from now before whichever one of us survives the longer can have a chance to arrange for a proper heir. Suggestions?

My court physician cured my heir's bubonic plague by cutting his face off. I don't think anyone in my court even died from it, actually. Good job court physician. Anyway I'll probably put this lithuania game on hold for a bit because even after consoling myself an enormous amount of money to build back up after feudalizing (helpful tip: if you're pagan and plan on doing this get the decision to fortify a holy site you hold. Makes the military side of the transition less painful) I'm still weaker than all my angry christian neighbors. I just got to the high medieval techs in the 1200s and there's not really anything going on. Crusades were a wet fart (hi opm Jerusalem in Bornholm) and Ghengis somehow lost his entire army before invading anything. Byzantines and whatever the Turks are calling themselves now didn't even touch each other after 1066 from what I could tell. At least the HRE exploded I guess?

For the record, completely annihilating someone's levy pool is a fantastic way to instigate civil war in their realm. I repeatedly savaged the poo poo out of a massive Francia until they ended up in like three consecutive civil wars that bottomed out their crown authority, which meant that the Emperor had all this land but gently caress all levies to actually deploy. If they actually mattered this late in the game with MAA ascendant, that is lol

The AI is incompetent at nearly everything, which I suppose is historically accurate but not very fun. Playing as a tribal vassal with an incompetent liege (but as yet too powerful to depose) while managing confederate partition succession is pretty frustrating. e: isn't the overwhelming dominance of men at arms and knights kind of ahistorical too? Not that peasants with spears are especially effective but there are tales aplenty of foolish noblemen on expensive armour being slaughtered by them in various ways.

When your ruler gets really old (mine's 84 now) their succession gets insane because the AI is so bad at doing the right sorta marriages. My heir became my great-great-great grandson who was a different dynasty so I had to imprison and murder him. It's not a HUGE deal I guess but it's still a pain. drat you totally unchangeable confederate partition. My newest ruler also has some kids who have gone off and had poo poo marriages so I really hope they never get in line to inherit especially since she's too far away for me to interact with.

Ok, so I'm a Duke in the Kingdom of France, and I just granted away a county to a courtier of mine. He did not hold any titles prior to me granting him land, but when I did grant him a county, he suddenly became a direct vassal of the King of France. Anyone know why?

eXXon posted:The AI is incompetent at nearly everything, which I suppose is historically accurate but not very fun. My understanding is that the games concept of levies is kind of ahistorical and the people who fought were more similar to men at arms than not. The 'levies' were quasi professional soldiers not just some guy you handed a spear and forced into a fight. Also for popular opinion and like Scandinavian Elective is there some way to manage popular opinion beyond that stewardship perk for +50?

Broken Cog posted:Btw, how do you revoke duchy titles these days? Every time I try it just says "If you revoke this, the person will end up with only titular titles" or something. Can you only revoke duchies if the owner has more than one, or if you revoke all the counties as well first? I'm not clear exactly what the rules are, but things I've noticed: 1. If you revoke a person's last county and they hold a duchy title the duchy title disappears. 2. If you revoke a title all child titles come with it - e.g. if you revoke England that person loses all holdings in England as well. 3. In some circumstances (I believe because of #2) you aren't allowed to revoke someone's highest level title if all their other titles are in it. I have worked around this by giving someone a title outside their top title - e.g. give the king of England a county in Scotland before revoking his kingship. 4. I have no idea what the "in some circumstances" part of #3 actually are

Can you only revoke duchies if the owner has more than one, or if you revoke all the counties as well first? Revoking a duchy or kingdom always revokes all titles below that. You can do it if they have another county outside of that, but not if it would make them unlanded, which is probably a bug since you can revoke someone's last/only county just fine.
