Bold Robot posted:When playing as a vassal, is there any downside at all to switching your contract to one of the special ones, like March? Playing as a duke in the HRE, it seems like I can switch my contract to March without even needing a hook. This never occurred to me to do before, but it seems like a no brainer? The special contracts are considered neutral, which is why you don't need a hook for them. As a vassal, you want to have either the March or Palatinate contract if researched, and as a liege you want your vassals to have the Scutage contract.

Anyone have any "let me have Primogeniture before the loving lategame" mods they prefer? I'm looking at either this one that just moves it to Early Medieval or this one that turns it into a decision, but one you can only take after you're a fairly Prestigious king. Basically I don't want to just get it for free, but I want it loving available.

scaterry posted:Pursuit of Power/Warmonger for cbs. Pursuit of Power is a classic combo with pacifism, as well. Warmonger is a stupidly good trait. I almost think it should be nerfed. quote:Gnosticism if you plan on making more faiths later on Oh so that's the point of Gnosticism! Holy heck that's a good idea! I usually just reform/new faith once into what I want but doing it repeatedly with gnostic faiths sounds super fun now. Gonna do that in a playthrough sometime now! Each ruler gets their own dramatically different faith! Haha that sounds awesome! quote:Esotericism for the wise man trait and access to mystical communion Agreed it's very good, but like Warmonger it's almost boringly good. Not nearly as strong but it turns into essentially a few free learning perks per lifetime for your liege which just makes the game that much easier, especially since a few learning perks is Scientific and Open-Minded or Faithful. quote:Reincarnation is meh, it's just not very impactful. ostensibly it could be useful if you stack county conversion resistance, but that implies somehow losing converted land which doesn't really happen Reincarnation is very disappointing I agree. I got it more often than some in this thread but the thing is, you don't have any control of which ancestor you come back as having your heir get forced into a Shy and Greedy or some other bad trait is a real kick. As for some others.... Carnal Exaltation is another stupidly good trait. Makes lustful (one of the most rp fun traits in the game for all the new scenes it gives you) a virtue and a fertility boost on top of it. Astrology imo does the random fun effects you'd think you'd get from something like reincarnation but actually makes it more fun to roll the dice and see what happens, also a great rp justification for 'let's see what the stars say' and say, go to war if you get a martial bonus, etc. Communal Identity I find very handy for building up a consolidated core of faith/culture esp if you're playing a dynasty that has invaded rich lands of someone else from afar and are moving your core there. Fatwa I found more fun than I expected, being able to condemn a sinful vassal and get a reason to revoke for it was much more handy than I thought it might be. Adoricism is great but very limited in who can take it. Ancestor Worship can be surprisingly impactful for a more established dynasty with the long reign opinion boost, and that early game boost to family opinion can save you a few succession crises. And of course Sun Worship for that sweet sun sacrifice prisoner interaction, but very limited. I also think syncertism can be overlooked and underrated. Some of my most successful playthroughs came from adding Islamic Syncretism to a Christian or Norse pagan faith that allowed me to ally the Caliph which made crushing Byzantium or rival Catholic leaders much, much, easier. And if you're an Islamic central asian dynasty then adding Folk traditions means now you can marry other Muslims, the Eastern Faiths, and the Pagans in africa and the steppe which really expands your alliance and breeding options.

dead gay comedy forums posted:so, what are some development strategies? Men At Arms are insanely powerful, so overall you want to pick a unit type and stick with it, and then use your building types to boost their stats to the moon. That's one building slot. For the rest of them what you really want is cashflow. So Manor Houses, Ports, Farms, Orchards, Forestry, Hills Farms, Quarries, and Pastoral Lands, just picking whichever one the terrain allows and the highest revenue generation if there's multiples. Hunting Grounds are also great in that you can build them everywhere and they have a better RoI than the others, but lower overall revenue. Make sure you have walls in your Capital, as that's a crucial point to defend.

As long as it's my direct holding, any building troop bonus apply/stack across my whole army? It doesn't matter where the troops were raised from? What about for vassals, do my building bonuses apply to them?

What about for vassals, do my building bonuses apply to them? Yes, all the "Holder of this holding" benefits are universal for the holder, but don't apply down to vassals or up to your liege. If you turn your capitol county into a military power house it will cripple your early game revenue but as the game progress's and you have vassal tax's that core military strength will become nearly overwhelming.

Gnosticism by itself also expands your marriage/alliance options. Manicheans, Cathars, Paulicians and Bogomilists now love you. Druze and Cainites too, I guess, but I hardly ever see them.

depending on the relative value of the duchy and their capital, taking their capital will often do it. especially if you capture important family members in the siege

ACav as a Duke is arguably optimal as a (super) Duke who has access to many duchy buildings without dealing with opinion penalties. If you can afford it, you should.

Yup, sort by prowess, marry to your courtiers, rinse and repeat. Way cheaper than paying them off to join your court. Can also work for finding doctors and council members and such.
