My previous king literally got the bubonic plague (no one else at my court did), and it mostly just turned his nose black. Then he was dying from bubonic plague. Then he got better, the plague was cured, he stopped being on death's doorstep and lived another couple years after that.

How do you make a new religion? Do I have to be not-tribal, or already following an organized religion first?

Jay Rust posted:How do you make a new religion? Do I have to be not-tribal, or already following an organized religion first? Yeah as an unreformed religion you can only reform. Then you can make a new heresy out of the reformed religion as the next ruler. Reforming lets you do pretty much whatever you want though, so the main difference is not being allowed to edit the names and stuff.

I wanted to make a new, permissive version of Viking that evolved on the British Isles, but it’s asking me to conquer Scandinavia for the holy sites... Kinda fucks up the fantasy

Pretty sure you cannot change the holy sites regardless, they will always be the same as the parent religion you're making a new one from. In any case you can just snag three counties with holy sites from the factions that control them. Especially easy as vikings with their Conquest CBs.

Playing as a Viking with the bordergore removal mod means no easy way to grab those holy sites, got no one to blame but myself. Thinking about converting to Catholic and then making a norsefied version of that The mod works really well btw.

Xanderkish posted:Dammit. I want to make a new religion where all of the holy sites are coincidentally located near my house. In my Ireland game I spent one lifetime reviving insular christianity, and then a subsequent one transforming it into a gnostic incest cult. Three holy sites right on my doorstep, one of which gives +30% conversion speed in the isles. Speaking of conversions, one little trick I've found to quickly converting conquered land, if you demand conversion of a ruler, their capital province instantly converts to the new religion too if the ruler and county religions match. So if you conquer an entire kingdom, scour your realm for characters of the same religion as the land you conquered, grant them counties, and demand their conversions. The land is pretty much instantly transformed to your religion.

It also makes squishing heresy outbreaks easy if your realm likes you/fears you, since you can demand conversions from your vassal's vassals..

Have I got a story for you. Russian translation is bad. It uses very boring fonts and have numerous MISSING_TEXT and just plain mistakes. So there's a mod that fixes all of that. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2223426891 But if you read the comments it "fixes" some sexuality issues. No homosexuals or bisexuals are spawned. Asexuals are still there, 1% just like in vanilla. 99% of characters "are now normal people". Naturally there's nothing about those changes in the description, just talk about fonts and fixes.

Wait I'm starting to think that the reason I don't keep my vassals when I hand out counties is that I'm a woman. I don't know why that would make any difference, but I can do it with a male Duke just fine, tried it with the Duke of Aquitaine at the 1066 start. Anyone know any non-independent duchess starts I can hop into quickly to test it out.

But my go-to not-independent duchess is Matilda of Tuscany in 1066 (I use her to test a lot of stuff when modding).

I've seen this happen if there are multiple overlapping wars or a raid. If you're fighting a raider and an enemy army enters your tile it will wait for the battle to finish before starting a new one.

Having spent the last hour dealing with being over my vassal limit, I'd love to see a decision added to "grant all vassals to their de jure liege" to clean up all these random counts/etc that got orphaned with me instead of with a more reasonable duke/king

Early game, try to get your dynasty members on independent thrones, or at least married to kings and dukes. Every independent ruler or spouse of your dynasty adds renown gain per month, and it really stacks up after a while. Additionally, there's a perk in the middle diplomacy tree that gives you a decision to write an Epic, this can give you a boost of about 75-150 renown every 10 years.

Meet Empress Gisela 'the Anointed' of Alba, Empress of the Empires of Alba and Francia, Queen of Ireland, England, Wales and Alba (Scotland). Her stats are... rather impressive.  And since the last Great Holy War for Andalusia just got it Holy Warred right back by the Muwalladists, we're about to go do it again to kick the non-Catholics out of Iberia for hopefully the last time. Also, the King of Burgundy would be my vassal as Empress of Francia too right now, except the fool got himself excommunicated almost immediately on taking the throne of Burgundy as a teenager and thus has been fighting wars constantly now for over a decade so I can't vassalize him yet. I might just murderize him instead and vassalize his successor if he can get his poo poo sorted out.  And here's what the larger world looks like. It's kind of interesting that the HRE has stuck around more or less whole for the last 200 years or so uninterrupted.

Uh, why did my characters house switch from the main branch to his mothers sub branch on succession? Still running Confederate Partition, so no elective shenanigans, and he wasn't landed until he inherited, so I see no reason for why he isn't in the main branch like his father (my last character). Has it something to do with my last character divorcing the mother for some reason? Edit: The House Head title also went to one of the younger brothers for some reason, I don't get this house inheritance system at all.

So my current game is in the place where I'm not planning any more expansion (conquered Britain and Ireland, formed Britannia, rapidly Anyway, the latest Liberty Faction I'm fighting has run into a neat little wrinkle that works differently than I remember from CK2: Heirs don't automatically replace their predecessors in a faction/civil war anymore? So as the new game's insanely lethal battles (plus my four 20+ prowess superknights) kill off rebel dukes, even when I lose I still win? Is this how it's supposed to work now? appropriatemetaphor posted:When you die you get that kinda cool screen that shows your past kings and queens or whatever.

You can get absurd amounts from having lots of people of your dynasty, independent ruler or not. If you're expanding, just give every single new duchy to a dynasty member, and relatively soon you'll be swimming in renown.

Playing the William the Conqueror scenario. Currently at the start of third generation. Richard inherited from William and had a very lengthy feud with the son of Harold. The rival has three duchies: Northumbria, Lancaster, and York. I don’t like him having that much power and also hating me. Dude also had claims on chunks of Wales as well but I fabricated enough claims there to take over and form the Kingdom of Wales. Well, in the last month of Richard’s life, his rival becomes a known family torturer and can be arrested. So I slammed that button hard and sent how rear end to the dungeons. Then Richard dies and Dick 2 takes over. I have the option of stripping a title from the guy but I want to be smart about how I do it since no one particularly likes me at the moment. If I take a duchy, do I take the counties he has under it? It would be very nice to cut his power down immensely.

Every time my spouse gets pregnant, I'm all excited because that means I have another dynasty member I can drop my latest conquests onto. So I guess I was right the first time-- the answer is loving.
