CKII is released.

The Spirits is mighty indeed.

Sad case. I realized it was for Mauretania.
I won it and wondered why the Andalusia portion of the Umayyad is still around.
It's okay. I will finish the job soon with Umayyad before they can recover from the Civil war and Holy War defeat.

 

[baturinsky]

How do people distribute conquered lands? Currently my best bet is coasts to republics (mostly for galleys), rest to feudals of my dynasty, and leftovers to clergy. Mostly as duchies.
Is it gonna blow into the face of one of my successors?

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

I generally wouldn't have too many republics. The -30 opinion they have by default can get really nasty when you don't have enough honorary titles to throw around in emergencies, and patricians will have a HUGE gift cost.

 

[RK47]

I keep recruiting 'Content' trait holy men and giving away duchies.
Republic vassal is good too, but I don't like it when they have 60% liege army strength when they join the faction. Gotta slice that pie a bit.

 

[RK47]

Grabbed Italy.

Ummayyad seems solid overall. The Great Holy War was for Mauritania - not for Andalusia.
I guess I might just try to slice the Aquitane cake since they now hold Germany and Burgundy. Three Kingdom King... wait till the liege dies and slice the pie.

 

[RK47]

Tried to bash my way past Aquitane, no luck, the moment they pull in Bavaria, Scotland into the war, I had to declare white peace. Also, three revolts.
Annoying. I then decided to go for a venture on Brittany and Normandy, capping a few revolting counties.

Hopefully, we can springboard a good invasion on England.

Widening our Cassus Beli net is always a good move.

Africa looks so barren and empty. I hope Paradox release an expansion or extensive patch making the place livelier.

There is about a million better ways to spend development time than niggers.

 

[Zeriel]

It's not like putting provinces in is hard. It's literally just having some historical data, then editing a text file. My guess is most of the work for provinces is balancing them, not putting them in.

Hope they add Semien so I can continue my Jewnigger lp.

 

[Kukulkan]

Regardless, paradox still need to make theocracies playable, fix the crusades mechanic to be historically accurate, and allow for a save game conversion to EU4. I'm also disappointing that the members of this forum can't keep their GD bullshit in GD.

 

[Cassidy]

save game conversion to EU4.

30% off if you buy the Converter DLC together with all the "Flags of the European Powers" DLCs, each flag which replaces blank flags with the historic ones for France, etc for $0.99 .

or get them off TPB for free a week after release.

All that desert kinda fucks the prospect up, unless you want to drive the map even deeper down into the Yoruba coast/East Africa, and that would be kinda ridiculous because its too far away to matter to the game's theme. West Africa is in because it was in the CK period that the Religion of Peace spread to West Africa. .

Why does all that desert prevent making africa more lively. Surely those barren area was populated by some groups in real life. Relevance doesn't matter so long as it gives more depth.

The Norse were never ready for the Black Panthers

 

[Zeriel]

Nice to see Byzantine Byzantining. They should really reform to Rome, though! It's not like the Arabs are going to stop them from taking Tunis/Jerusalem/Antioch.

Termination of Norse Commencing.

 

[baturinsky]

Is there some way to automatize general appointing on middle-up authority? It gets annoying when you have many armies.

 

[Kukulkan]

I have a problem where save games where I switched from one country to another end up crashing to the desktop. Anybody able to help me?

Gusanos shouldn't be playing videogames.

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

Trying Old Gods for the first time, think I may have hit a bug. I got an invasion event, I decided to go for Wessex. It seems it's a "Prepared invasion" since it says I'm preparing to invade and I keep getting tons of troops showing up to loot things. Thinking a prepared invasion was just vikings beating shit up and taking treasure I sail into England and start smashing crap. Time passes, I loot the hell out of England, and then it tells me I never invaded and take a big prestige and piety hit. The fuck bros?
So I look it up on a wiki and it says prepared invasions are for conquest, not looting. Not what I wanted to do, but whatever. The down side is the wiki seems to imply that actually launching you invasion is triggered by declaring war. Unfortunately I have no option to declare war on the guy I've been plundering, and in fact under his opinion of me it says he thinks we're at war. But time is still ticking along and it'll say I haven't invaded even though I've torn them apart.

So what's the deal bros. Bug, or have I grossly mistaken how to trigger it so it thinks I've invaded? Do I have to actually conquer them in that amount of time? I don't have a warscore up for them. I'm at a loss.

Edit: Alright, I think it might've been fucked up because I got an invasion request by some other dude after I was preparing my invasion, and it seems like that's all wrapped up together. Maybe. I don't know.

 

[Spectacle]

You declare war within the time limit to trigger the invasion, quite simple.
But a prepared invasion is supposed to be something you start yourself in the diplomacy menu, not a random event so it could be a bug somewhere.

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

Yes, you are grossly mistaken. Raiding is something you can do without declaring war, but counts as "war" for both sides. Naturally, because you've got your assholes on their territory, but the game's rules you need to get them out and disband levies if you want to declare a real war.

 

[Borelli]

There is a random event that asks you "your fellow vikings think you are a huge pussy do you want a prepared invasion to prove yourself Y/N?"
