So what was going on here?
My brother wasn't voting for himself, even though everyone else (including me) was.
Did the other guy use a hook on him?

Ctrl-click. It even comes up in the tooltip for movement if you're trying to move an army that's gathering.

Nowadays I do a 'rally all troops' then instantly a couple thousand people come, and I just immediately send them marching, then do another rally, let that build up a couple k, then send them out as well.

It makes it a lot easier to both start up a bunch of armies all over the place, and easier to manage how many troops you're leveraging in a war.
No point in raising 20k troops to stomp someone who can only muster 2000, all you're hurting then is your wallet.

That happened a few times but even in isolation its still happening. Is the force number what the opposing nation has at the moment, or is it their potential capacity?

This is my first real CK experience so maybe im glossing over some unspoken mechanics of the former games.

Apropos the dynasty screen. You can scroll side ways by zooming in/out at its edges.

It's probably an oversight that WASD still only moves the world map on the dynasty screen.

Yeah, that happens if the groom is in a mercenary company too. It'll happily let you do the engagement, but the wedding is forbidden so you have to break it.

There's a lot of little hidden gotchas in the UI that can be pretty frustrating. Someone on reddit has a picture of them trying to consecrate their bloodline and describing all of the crusades/sacrifices/etc/etc they needed to do to get the piety and holy sites and whatnot, and it's forbidden because they've got the "Content" trait

e: Found the picture

Playing as King of Ireland and currently through marriage and some precision knifing my heir stands to inherit some counties currently part of Kingdom of England. How is that going to manifest? Will those counties be carved out and become part of Kingdom of Ireland or am i going to become vassal of England when playing my heir?

Without watching it, when he mentions invincible men at arms in the intro, does he mean stacking building bonuses? Because I'm 90% sure that's gonna get a nerf pretty soon.

Looking over at Greece and I've noticed there's no Albanian culture in either start date. Why is that and where are they?

Wikipedia posted:

Sassanid Albania fell to the Islamic conquest of Persia in the mid-7th century and was incorporated into the Rashidun Caliphate. King Javanshir of Albania, the most prominent ruler of Mihranid dynasty, fought against the Arab invasion of caliph Uthman on the side of Sassanid Iran. Facing the threat of the Arab invasion on the south and the Khazar offensive on the north, Javanshir had to recognize the caliph's suzerainty. The Arabs then reunited the territory with Armenia under one governor.[23]

By the 8th century, "Albania" had been reduced to a strictly geographical and titular ecclesiastical connotation,[115] and was referred to as such by medieval Armenian historians; on its place sprang a number principalities, such as that of the Armenian principality and kingdom of Khachen, along with various Caucasian, Iranian and Arabic principalities: the principality of Shaddadids, the principality of Shirvan, the principality of Derbent. Most of the region was ruled by the Persian Sajid Dynasty from 890 to 929. The region was at times part of the Abbasid province of Armenia based on numismatic and historical evidence.

Wrong Albania, that's the one next to Iberia.

Wikipedia posted:

Historically, the country has been inhabited by numerous civilisations such as the Illyrians, Thracians, Ancient Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Venetians and Ottomans. The Albanians established the autonomous Principality of Arbër in the 12th century. The Kingdom of Albania and Principality of Albania formed between the 13th and 14th centuries.

Btw, how do you revoke duchy titles these days? Every time I try it just says "If you revoke this, the person will end up with only titular titles" or something. Can you only revoke duchies if the owner has more than one, or if you revoke all the counties as well first?

The game is complaining about me being above my direct vassal limit at 64/60, so I granted a bunch of vassals to some of my other vassals. But I'm still at 64/60? Why won't it move?

Thank you! And what’s the best way to raise just my MaA and some levies? The raise “local levies” button?

I'm not seeing any evidence of this in game. Do you need to be independent?

binge crotching posted:

Don't raise all your levies, just your Men at Arms. They should be a mix of Varangian and siege units, and even before you buff them can easily take on armies twice their size. Once you get them buffed, you can take on armies 10x as large.

Most of your cash is going to come from your own holdings; unless you have specifically invested in your vassal's holdings, they will not have much in the way of income, and so they will have very little to pay you as a result.

I'm forced to have this guy as my spymaster for 25 years, he started out with 5 intrigue. And since he's my spymaster he is pretty much impossible to kill. I also had a 5 steward force himself upon me but he will be dead real soon.

Speaking of cool traditions: what are we all liking?

I enjoy the combo of Philosopher Culture and Warrior Priests. I tend to neglect martial trees and focus on learning anyway. This pair makes my learned family members and even priests very effective commanders and knights.

There seems to be a bug sometimes when holding court where names disappear or results get cut off and don't display. Does anyone know what this 25% chance of is?

He's my vassal forever now. I mended the schism and he's still loving there. I can't unland him, it just straight up won't let me
I guess I'll have to give him independence then attack him to get rid.

You do get something out of it, they pay reparations to you in the form of gold.

Looking at it now that's only for certain types of CB, but I think every single defensive war I've fought has either resulted in a gold or being able to imprison&revoke troublesome vassals.

E: Also, I finally got a claim on Athlone, but the earl there is stated as having 5500+ troops and thus outnumber me significantly, but the combined levies of his counties are around 500 men. How'd he get so many MAA?
