Is there a reliable way to steal something out of someone else's treasury? Some rear end in a top hat in tribal Ireland somehow got Jesus's shirt from the Pope, and I kind of want it. Like, I'm thinking about putting my plans in central Europe on the back-burner to create Ireland, vassalize him, and mow through his line of succession until I inherit all his stuff, but I don't know if that last part works like that.

No Pants posted:I was looking for something more reliable than that. All right, it's looking like my original plan is working. I got lucky, and someone else unseated the guy with the artifact, so I invited him to my court and landed him. I murdered him and his benighted heirs until I got one I could marry, and it's now sitting in my wife's treasury. Hopefully it doesn't get lost when she croaks so our son can do Jesus cosplay.

I've been seeing lords in my realm decide to not get married, too. If I try to set them up, they only want advantageous marriages, which is an odd thing to insist on when you're a random wali in a polygamous society.

Deceitful Penguin posted:Any hints on how to turn Shiite as a Sunni? I haven't really tried it out before; I've betrothed my heir to a Shiite girl but should I have him raised by my neighbour maybe? Yeah, a child raised with Religion or Heritage focus usually ends up with the guardian's religion. Guardian traits like Zealous, Diligent, and Gregarious help.

You or a vassal chief can convert the tribe to a set of feudal holdings as soon as you start building the stone hillfort. It's really not that bad.

Karl Sharks posted:Random question, is there any way (mod or otherwise) to allowing looting of artifacts? Or killing/stealing them? One of my vassals has Mjolnir and I want it damnit. You'll rarely loot a random artifact a guy owns when you siege a holding down. I'm not sure if they even have to have the holding as part of their demesne. Anyway, getting a specific artifact that way is probably not going to happen even if you save/reload a lot. The most reliable way to get it into your treasury is to inherit it, and even then, it's not a 100% sure thing.

I had one of my early guys make one and it was still there on succession but I eventually noticed that it disappeared somewhere down the line. I didn't have the event where your necronomican and magnum opus gets stolen either, that I think someone mentioned happened to them. You can lose stuff of any type upon succession, I think. It's kind of a downer, and you don't even get a notification when it happens.

Yeah, the secret religion societies are way too effective in the AI's hands. In my current game, the HRE turned Germanic (which is extremely annoying), and the ERE went Cathar. I just won a Crusade for Greece, and while looking for lowborn dudes to turn into counts, every single one of them who wasn't zealous had sympathy for Paganism. I switched my chaplain to inquisition mode to see if that would help, and he cannot keep up with all these goddamn apostates.

basic hitler posted:I really enjoy the early middle age british isles. Lots of small petty kingdoms, relatively isolated, and it's a long time before france wants to play. Plenty of time to play as an insignificant pawn and rise to maybe form england or scotland, and things like that. It's really fun. If you want to try an Islamic ruler, a duke in the Arabian Peninsula in the Early Middle Ages is kind of like that. It's pretty easy to snowball by gobbling up your weak neighbors for piety, you have no external threats for a very long time, and the kingdom title is waiting to be created.

I started my usual Hashimid 769 run to try things out, and holy moly it's downright easy after you've rid yourself of your vassal sitting on Mecca. Hijaz has six counties, Mecca has a Silk Road post, and you can ship your rear end in a top hat male relatives to China to live out their days without balls.

The Cheshire Cat posted:Wow, they weren't kidding when they said they made the Pope more likely to hand out Excommunications. Not only have I actually been able to use it a few times, but I just got excommunicated myself, without even being a satanist or anything! It's nice to finally see that as a part of the game again. I had a Pope repeatedly excommunicate my dude (and reverse it on demand because he liked me) until the lady who hated me ran out of piety. Kind of makes me wonder what some random duchess had on the Pope.

Roland Jones posted:Speaking of religious artifacts, how do you get them? I've seen them randomly in starting inventories sometimes (like some Irish count I was planning on invading having the Zoroastrian banner somehow), but have no idea how to get them myself. Join a Christian society, and you’ll probably get an event where they show off a tier 4 relic. You’ll have the option to try to steal it. As a bonus, if you have a gay lover in the society, you’ll probably get away with it.

But also fwiw the minor revolts were all really easy to put down assuming I had troop superiority by a few thousand. You can go over your clan limit with minor clan revolts. I even got 10/9 clans when I was trying to game the system with nine one-county clans.

You can look at the religions in the fourth page of the ledger. The Pope just does normal unlanded head-of-religion stuff if he gets kicked out of Rome. I always made sure he was landed somewhere when I tried doing infidel or heretic things in western Europe so that I could quickly end the inevitable Crusades. Crusades are annoying enough in Italy that when I did a Fraticelli Emperor of Italia run, I briefly converted to Catholicism, gave him a temple in my demesne, and vassalized him so he'd look elsewhere for targets.

Dongattack posted:My vassal has a powerful artifact (Mjolnir), what are my options for obtaining it? With artifacts, there's a bunch of luck involved if they aren't indestructible. Siege down his capital during a war or while raiding for the small chance of the loot event. Kill him and his successors until you inherit as his liege, but you'll be fighting the 5% chance for it to get lost if it's unequipped plus the 50% chance for it to disappear when someone dies with no heirs. Get a favor from him, kill his wife, unland him, use the favor to get him to join your court, kill him. I've only really had success with indestructible artifacts with this one, plus it's a lot of work.

fuf posted:None of the muslim characters on this page have a 769 start: I've recommended it before, but Hasan Hashimid is the Shia ruler of Medina at that start date. The royal family of Jordan is descended from his in-game brother, but that side of the family usually dies as your courtiers without anyone noticing. Mechanically, the duchy of Hijaz is good and in a great location for avoiding expansionist neighbors, and if you can gain direct control of most of your counties while keeping the Caliph happy and avoiding empowering the council, you can really snowball toward doing whatever you want.

The Cheshire Cat posted:The Hashimids are cool but it's also a very difficult start because the religious difference means the Abbasid Caliph will eventually try to revoke all your titles. Falsely converting is basically a requirement. That's true. If you want to stay openly Shia, it's kind of like any other old-timey "hide inside the Abbasids" strat except a little easier because you aren't a heretic or infidel, and you usually have enough time to kiss up to him before he passes the religious revocation law. The first few years are really rough, though.
