So I had some weird event chain where a serial killer was randomly murdering my relatives. After killing 3 of my sons and a grandson, I got enough clues that I figured out who it was, picked the choice to confront them, and..... nothing happened. Nothing more came up. Anyone else had this happen?

So, if you go digging in the tenets for religion reform, there is one called "Natural Primitivism". The stat effect of it isn't that interesting, just a bit less stress generated, but it also makes everyone following that religion go nude.

Is there any religion in the base game that actually has this, or is it just another joke from Paradox?

Also, Athletic lets you lower stress by doing an intense workout for basically no penalty (other than a year of sweat stink).

Going full Gallant as vikings is hilarious. You can easily take on armies twice or triple your size. It basically turns your champions into supermen.

Started as the sole count on Crimea in 867, sat around doing nothing for 50 years, inherited a duchy in the middle of Greece through a marriage on my grandson, said grandson also inherited a claim to the Byzantine throne because his mother declared war on the emperor at some point. The second I started playing as that grandson I set up a faction to put me on the throne, and almost every vassal in the empire supported me, so the emperor abdicated without any fighting.

Single county count to emperor within 2 years, not bad. Also found out that everyone that supports you during a faction like that gets a hook on you, so that was a lot of nonrefusable demands that popped up right afterwards.

The method of getting new courtiers to your court has been replaced by the "guest" system. Check your guest list often, and you will regularly find pretty great statted courtiers there that will join you for a pretty penny. Especially if you take the dynasty skill that gives you better guests.

Alternatively, you can just marry them to one of your relatives matrilineally, and they'll come and squat at your place.

Edit: Both methods are great ways of getting more champions too.

Edit2: Oh yeah! Also see if some of your prisoners are willing to join you. If they are the same culture/religion, it's not even that hard to convince them.

Enjoying the perk system, it adds cool layers to doing stuff, but honestly I also find it frustratingly slow. Experience gain could probably stand to be even twice as fast. As it is, you're only likely to max out two trees in a life. Or I wouldn't be opposed to being able to pass on a few perk points in your specced trees to your heir instead, maybe tied to your learning stat.

I actually disagree. The trees are so strong that they can basically define the playstyle of the character you're playing as, so I think keeping them somewhat sparse spices things up a bit.

I like the dynasty perks that gives you better guests, at least in the earlygame or for smaller realms, but I kinda think it would be better if it gave you a decision like with the champion invites to put out a call for experts.
It's too easy to forget when you have guests.

How Britain ends up in the 867 start seems to hinge a lot on how quickly Alfred ascends to the Wessex throne. When he does they triple their available troops, and can start fighting back against the viking invasion for real. I had a game earlier where practically everything but a few parts of the isles up in Scotland were under catholic control by 900.

Alright, here's how to "beat" gavelkind, especially as a tribal.
Grab one duchy and all internal counties for each heir other than your main, keep your main duchy and all counties for yourself, never land your main heir.

When you croak, your heir should get your highest title, your main duchy, and all the counties within it.

E; I think part of it is that currently the inheritances are not working in a coherent and/or sensible way. It's one thing for the realm to be divided up, it's another for it to make you King but give you some random duchy at the arse end of the realm with a farmer and his three sheep as your source of soldiers and income.

I'm assuming this is because of Elective? Maybe specifically the Scandinavian Elective inheritance law?

The reason that law gives you some random county in the middle of nowhere, is that the law is only for the highest titile, nothing else. All your other titles, duchies, counties, are still levied up between your children.
The best way to use this method is to make your heir someone that is already landed.

I feel like disinheriting will get nerfed soon, it's really easy to do as long as you only have 2-3 sons. And who cares about an opinion penalty from an unlanded dude to your old king. Unless there are other drawbacks i haven't seen. I've had 2 cadet branches set up, so maybe that's a side effect.

Doesn't disinherit tank your renown? You really don't want to waste your renown on anything outside of the dynasty tree.

75 renown to keep your kingdom together is nothing. It may add up in the long term but i'd happily miss out on a +5 relation buff to not have to worry about reconquering the same areas.

I think you're mixing up fame and renown, fame is the prestige level exp, renown is the dynasty tree exp.

Nothing like dying and finding out your heir has -100 relation with pretty much your entire realm because he's apparently a very incompetent assassin.
