Did you mod that in?



Thinking modern meaning of course, being good equal opportunities players we should call male and female courtiers.

[The Stranger]

so what counts as an exploit?

Early on i killed my wife 2x to get some extra money from the marriage of my next wife :P does that mean my game is now invalid? :S

i dont think exploits is cheating, its just bit gamey but clever none the less

Oh no, as long as you are doing things that are working as designed by the developers and working within the confines of the game, that is perfectly reasonable. While it makes your king quite an evil , that is fine. You can always claim the Henry the VIII defense afterall



When you said "exploit" i thought you meant taking advantage of a broken mechanic over and over to spawn infinite money/troops or something.

it kinda is a broken mechanic in some cases. i can kill my wife for -50 and remarry a new one for +200 :P

but i only did it twice, though i could do it ad infinitum. whenever i run out, i invite a new debutante for 100 and i would still make 50 on each new wife.

You could get just as much if not more money from constant conquering, looting and pillaging provided you don't put any money into your provinces. If you get insanely lucky by capturing nobles you can easily make thousands a year. Take a look at Arjos' treasury in his first screenshot to see what I mean, crazy stuff.

It does, however, strike me as gamey and a little cheap, but I don't feel it's an exploit. Your current game is still valid of course. Though, I would prefer you didn't outright abuse it going forward.

[The Stranger]

ye, i wouldve had around the same amount. only i hired more mercs i guess :P

[The Stranger]

nah ill play for the prize :P you can post my time. its 1267 (took me 52 years)
