I just watched him misread "Priestess" as "Princess" and wonder why he A) didn't get any alliances when he married them and B) why his prestige is in the shitter. You'd think he'd notice something was off when a "princess" was House Lowborn. EDIT: And now he's trying to raid fellow nomads while failing to realize that he borders the goddamn Byzantine Empire.

Has anyone ever come across a bug where even if you change to a succession law other than Tanistry, your heir is still called "Tanist Bob" rather than "Prince Bob" or whatever? It's not a huge deal but a little annoying considering I changed to Primogeniture three hundred years ago. Oh well. I suppose in Norman Francia the Emperor's oldest son is still called the Tanist out of tradition to the old Viking days. Like the Dauphin of France, but with beards.

Honky Dong Country posted:As soon as the auto-assign commanders box appeared I check that poo poo every time and never look back because I have absolutely no interest in diving any deeper into the combat mechanics than to smash stacks of my mans into stacks of enemy mans. Does the check box only look for vassals, or does it include courtiers with high Martial or commander traits? I appointed my daughter as Marshal and she seemed to bring me a new general every month or so, so my court is completely full of mid-40s single lowborn men with Skilled Tactician. Also, the tactics game can be surprisingly satisfying once you know what you're doing. It's all about leadership and positioning and picking your battles; and if you get it right you can beat people in wars who have four or five times as many troops as you. My proudest moment was winning a battle where I was outnumbered four to one by appointing commanders with the Defender trait on all three flanks and then baiting a Seljuk army across the Danube. Of course it also helped that the aforementioned daughter killed the Shahanshah himself in single combat

Oh man, Rebels and Warmongers is incredible. Between the weapons and crowns and horses and opinion bonuses for just being the most badass swordfighter in the land, your dude becomes an absolute superhuman. The childish part of me cackles with glee every time I slice some poor fool to bits on the battlefield, and every character in the game has a literal win/loss/draw tracker so you can see in an instant how many men you've slain. This modifier popped up after I chopped off one of my uppity vassals' hands in a duel and chose not to finish him off:  If I'm honest, I'm not a huge fan of how they switched up the character sheet, but you rack up so many traits I can see why they did it. ninjahedgehog fucked around with this message at 03:12 on Apr 10, 2017 |

nessin posted:Haven't played CK2 since just before Horse Lords, I think. Definitely post-Charlemagne. Anyways, listening to Three Moves Ahead today convinced me to come back if for no other reason than the fact that somehow Paradox made a connection back to Sunset Invasion in Monks & Mystics that makes it actually legitimate to ask if you should turn Sunset Invasion on. Sometimes it's just the little things. Yup. Apparently, if you have a devilspawn child, they have a chance of running off to the New World, seizing control of the Aztec Empire, and returning to kick your rear end. That said I would wait for the next patch if you want to see this, because right now this event completely ignores whatever pregame rules you set for the Sunset Invasion start date and someone else's demonspawn can set it off in literally the first year.

Chakan posted:Finally, I married a princess of Germany and before she passed away we had a daughter. The German Kingdom is agnatic primogeniture, but if all the men die, it'll allow the women to inherit right? Can I stab my way to my daughter inheriting the throne? If I do, and she dies childless with no others of her family still alive, will I inherit? It's been so long since I've played I can't recall all the succession rules. I don't think women can ever inherit normally in Agnatic, but I believe you can press their claims and put them on the throne by force. Once she's Queen, it probably won't go to you if she dies heirless (probably to her mother's brothers or their kids) but it might if you're her liege. Not 100% on this one though. quote:e: oh, the Fraticelli pope keeps declaring a crusade for Italy because I took Italy from them 150 years ago, but he doesn't have any holdings (or troops) and there are no other Fraticelli, how can I get him to stop?

Rebels and Warmongers continues to own. Turns out if you'e blinded in a battlefield duel, you have a chance of literally becoming Zatoichi, complete with a totally bitchin' nickname.  The personal combat skill bonus mitigates the penalty for being blind in the first place, so you don't even miss a step. And of course, even legendary blind swordmasters need a loyal doggo to help them around the palace.   .....For a few years, anyway.

Imperial administration owns because every vassal serves at the Emperor's pleasure and you can revoke all of their poo poo at a whim. Of course, getting there is a pain in the rear end because you have to have absolute crown authority and no council rights, and it can be tedious as your viceroys constantly die and you have to hand-pick their successor. HIP and CK2+ have a scripted event that make this a lot easier though; basically whenever a viceroy dies or you get a little pop-up saying "hey, do you want to give their viceroyalty to their kid, or someone else?" and then if you pick "someone else" you get a couple of pre-selected choices from your court or the duchy's counts. It even pops up if once viceroy seizes another viceroy's duchy and asks if your Imperial Majesty wants to let them keep it. I always say no  Plus, you get a fancy purple portrait frame! Win-win-win.  ninjahedgehog fucked around with this message at 14:26 on Apr 17, 2017 |

DrPop posted:Someone please explain me this blurb from Rebels and Warmongers Tuxedo Catfish posted:I can imagine a more mundane explanation (it's for modeling stuff like unhorsing and infantry vs. cavalry generally) but I prefer yours. Basically this. Battlefield duels play out differently if one or both of the combatants is on horseback (which is in turn determined by if you're breeding horses or not). Naturally mounted fighters have a huge advantage over people on foot (one of the options in the opening stage is literally trampling them into the dust), but if they manage to unhorse you you might get really loving hurt when you hit the ground. It's a lot more dynamic and unpredictable than the HIP/CK2+ duel engine but my one complaint is that RaW's events don't fire immediately after one another like the duel engine does, so sometimes a duel ends a while after the actual battle does.

Luckily if you empower the council you can defang them by sticking the Doge in an advisor slot so he can't join factions against you, but their low opinion still hurts how much tax money they give you. Usually if my Chancellor isn't out fabricating claims or sucking up to a neighbor that's way more powerful than me, his lips are firmly implanted on the Doge's rear end on my behalf. Incidentally, does the location of trade posts make a big difference regarding how much cash they take in? I've never played as a republic personally before, but making a pet republic is always priority #1 whenever I become a king. Basically, if I become king of France, am I better off making Flanders a republic, where there's less competition, or Provence, where the surrounding provinces are richer but I have to deal with Genoa, Pisa, and Venice? ninjahedgehog fucked around with this message at 15:50 on Apr 19, 2017 |

If you've never done the Byzantines before, the Alexiad is my favorite start for them. You face a pretty good challenge at the beginning, but you still have plenty of time on the clock to mend the Schism and restore Rome. You'll get lots of action, clear objectives, and a bunch of fun exclusive toys like viceroys and the Varangian Guard and chopping off your enemies' scrotums.

One of the blind king's sons pressed his claim on the Byzantines, but because he refused to convert to Orthodoxy the Byzantine Empire changed on the spot to the Latin Empire and I just rolled with it. A couple of generations later this guy took the throne, an Ambidextrous Brawny Duelist rank-5 swordsman who I assume rides into battle with a sword in each hand Drizzt Do'Urden-style because holy poo poo look at those combat modifiers. Also, I'm pleasantly surprised that the regnal numbering for the Latins starts at Augustus, because this guy is waaaaay more deserving of the name Constantine XI than that loser who lost Constantinople forever.
