Fat Samurai posted:How often should I go searching for a Smith? Are the diferent tiers of equipment depending on count/duke/king/emperor rank, prestige or what? It's by rank. Counts and dukes always get tier one stuff, kings can go to tier two, and emperors can go up to the tier three stuff. Also sometimes you'll get an event that creates a tier four whatever item (but I'm not sure what triggers that particular event).

Asproigerosis posted:Can someone explain to me what I'm missing about forming your own mercenary company? It just seems like a penalty to your entire demesne that loses more money that it generates. If your heir is running them when you die they get to keep all the money the company built up. You can build up a fairly substantial warchest if you use mostly heavy cav and undercut the hiring fee of the game generated companies. But you have to be small enough that you can do that - a king will automatically generate a 150 gold or more company that won't get hired enough to make money- and you have to micromanage the leader so they don't get enough prestige to rebel, which means only swapping your heir in at the end, so it's a bit situational

I've never found it worth it to have your own mercenary company. With one exception: It's a feature introduced when Horse Lords was released, and it's still worthwhile for a nomad heir to start his own mercenary company to amass prestige and hopefully get the adventurer trait. Anything else is just something you might do for fun if you're bored, but it's drawbacks are very much outweighing it's advantages.

You'd think it'd be more useful for a Republic, who are all about Retinue and the like, yet it never works out that way.

Last time I played I couldn't figure it out, playing as a Sagrado Corazon character, is there a way to change your saint? Because it seems to be passed down and I got a Santa Muerte character, but I super wanted to be a dynasty of Luchadores. i dont think you can, if they used the same code for the cetic paths then once you're assigned on at adulthood then that's it outside of rare and uncontrollable events. i think your only option is console fuckery Mr. Fall Down Terror fucked around with this message at 16:12 on Oct 18, 2018 |

Counts and Dukes are hard-capped at Tier 1 smithed goods, Kings at Tier 2. Whatever is smithed for you at those ranks is the best you can get. If you're an Emperor you get an option to request Tier 3 stuff, with a small percentage chance of an event popping up partway through of your smith requesting additional money/supplies/etc, which if agreed to gives you a shot at potentially getting Tier 4 goods. You'll know if you got T4 armor and weapons because you'll be asked to pick between three names for the completed piece. These names are just fluff and don't change the final stats, so just pick whichever you like the best.

This is mostly true: any rank can get the "I can make this fancier than you asked if you give me some more money" event, it just bumps it up one tier higher than what you initially ordered. Also, both Tier 3 and 4 weapons/armor have the "pick the fancy name" popup, but the Tier 4 stuff has correspondingly fancier names. Heartseeker to Dragonseeker, Vengeance to Heaven's Vengeance, etc.

How crushing. Survive the plague thanks to my physician but then lose the chess game to death immediately after. Plague killed my kids and my closest relatives were not of my dynasty. I thought succession cycled through your entire dynasty before going to non bloodline relatives, but I was clearly mistaken.

I think Sydin means that while tier 4 stuff is different to tier 3 and swords have different stats than axes/lances/etc., a tier 4 sword is a tier 4 sword irrespective of what its called.

Plague killed my kids and my closest relatives were not of my dynasty. I thought succession cycled through your entire dynasty before going to non bloodline relatives, but I was clearly mistaken. It depends on your succession laws. Some flavors of succession, such as seniority or tanistry, are pretty much guaranteed to keep it in your dynasty. I don't think the ones that target your children have any particular preference for your dynasty, though, beyond the fact that they prefer males (who are much more likely to be dynasty members). Under primogeniture, if you have no eligible children, it'll go up a generation and target your father's children (i.e., your siblings). If you don't have any living brothers left, and you have agnatic-cognatic succession, then it'll start looking at your sisters and their children. If they're in non-matrilineal marriages, then you're screwed at that point.

I just found glitterhoof running a republic in south america a minute ago. That's not the weird part. The weird part is his heir is a horse, and does not have the horse trait. I've just invited him to my court. What should I do next? My ruler's already immortal so the game's gone completely off the rails anyways.   EDIT: Just made it better

Rather than having to search directly for the title that you wish to gain a claim on, you can use the new button in the religious view to get a list of potential Catholic rulers owning titles for which the Pope is willing to grant you a claim on. By clicking on any of them, you will be shown a second window showing the list of all titles owned by the target ruler and from there you can select the one that you are interested in. Hell yeah

It seems like the previous owner of that title was a lunatic who spawned a Glitterhoof, who then was elected. When Glitterhoof becomes landed, the game will spawn Horse courtiers the same way it spawns courtiers for any ruler, and the game treats Horse as a culture like any other, with a portrait set and name list. As far as the game is considered, Horse characters without the Horse trait behave like any other character, so you can do whatever you want, create an all-horse vassal kingdom, breed them into your dynasty and play as a horse down the line, try to get one elected pope, the sky's the limit.

Probably a frequently asked question. But why what the hell is the difference of iconoclast and orthodoxy? Seems to the the exact same. I’m also a complete retard and could be reading over the difference right in front of my face.

Basically, depictions of holy figures was blasphemous.

I’m also a complete retard and could be reading over the difference right in front of my face. In reality: Iconoclasm was a series of religious movements in the 8th and 9th centuries within the Byzantine Empire where the church and state cracked down on religious iconography, based on a literal interpretation of the Ten Commandments. Think the traditional Muslim view of art. Anything religious iconography, beyond simple displays of the cross, was considered heretical. In CK2: Iconoclasm is a heresy of Orthodox Christianity, but really has no special mechanics to differentiate it. It only exists because the Byzantine Emperor in the 769 start in CK2 is Iconoclast to emulate the Empire at the time being at the height of the first Iconoclast period.

The Orthodox churches loving love their iconography, it's what makes the Iconoclasts heretics. They don't appreciate pictures of Jesus, leaning heavily on the "no graven image" tenets.

I think the one thing that Iconoclasts get that's different from Orthodoxy is an opinion bonus with Muslims. Because of that whole shared "religions icons are sinful" belief.
