Crusader Kings II

[rickinator9]

I might just download them and see if they work together - there shouldn't be any problem with conflicting changes, as it's all small stuff like more form-able empires and new nicknames (Duke Ishmael the Impaler ). And they shouldn't have too large a download size, which is good.

Good luck getting that Nick, I never even got the impaler trait. I guess it has to do with killing/executing a lot of people.

Word from the official forums is that 1.05f is currently going through QA, so we should expect it in a week or so. If you guys want to preserve the integrity and/or balance of your current campaign, you may want to switch steam over to tell it to ignore updates until you are finished. Just a heads up.

I never even got the impaler trait

Have you ever gotten the event where a neighboring baron complains about your demense size so you can either: send him roses (piety) or nail his emissaries' hats to their heads (prestige)? Choose the prestige option, this will start you down the Impaler path. Then when the follow up event happens, choose "I wonder what will happen if I do this..." You will get numerous chances to atone for your behavior, but each time one comes up just choose the one that sounds more cruel/has you continuing your new gruesome hobby. Eventually you will be rewarded with the Impaler trait. Alternatively, if you turn away from your "evil" path, you can get the gardener trait as you character has found other ways to work out their problems.

The event id for this path is 5020, if you want to trigger it in campaign for a certain character, open the console and type in "event 5020" and it will start you down the gardener/impaler path. Have fun!

I am jealous. I'll have to see if I can get my son Demandred that title, for some lovely irony (yes, I name my children after the Forsaken. I nearly got a full set in my most recent game ).

Ah so that's why. I always choose the gardener path because I value piety higher than prestige. 1.05f better fix most of the bugs. They have (relatively) taken long on this one. I still get the champion at own tournament glitch.

Also, I have started that mod about the roman times, around the time of the Pyrrhic wars. I am currently working on the map(most provinces need to be newly made).

The meta-server is fixed? We might even retry the CKII multiplayer thingy in the throne room!

I have been playing with a interesting little mod. I present to you:

Dawn of Kingdoms


Dawn of Kingdoms is a mod where everyone starts off as a lowly count and the best of those counts will conquer and form kingdoms.

Here's a list of features:

Current Features
-Every county is occupied by one Count and three holdings: Castle (Capital), Temple, and City.
-All de jure Kingdoms and Empires removed. A Titular Kingdom is available for every Duchy. After a few centuries de jure Kingdoms will start forming.
-Invasion CB is granted to everyone for the first few centuries to encourage tribal expansion.
-All tech levels start at 0.

Planned Features
-A culture for every duchy to simulate cultural migration, as well as faster culture conversion at the beginning. Titular kingdoms can only be created by the specific culture it belongs to. An extra Roman culture will be made for Rome for all of you Rome lovers.
-Everyone starts as Pagans, more "organized" religions will sprout and spread eventually. This should also eliminate the invasion CB.
-All counties start with only one holding.

Oh wow that's amazing. Creating a completely new history: here i come.

Are there any good ways to forms plots to weaken crown authorities? I started a game as the Duke of Lannister Lancaster and as a loyal vassal my levies and a well-time merc unit beat the snot out of the invading Norwegians and kept Harold Godwinson in the game long enough for the French to attack Normandy (felt like Christmas that did). Harold goes on to be known as the Great. He institutes high crown authority (I go along with it so I can enact primogeniture, suck it gavelkind!) but now I can't enforce my claims within England by force. Then he institutes Absolute crown authority (I vote "ignore" but apparently he has more suck-ups in the realm). Then the greedy bastard declares war on one of the Welsh dukes I was fighting and steals the dukedom away from me! I didn't have the troops to win fast enough. :(

He's also made one of my angrier vassals a duke which stole away their county from me. What should I do?

And what happens if the king dies with no un-assasinated heirs?
