Crusader Kings help

[el_slapper]

thanks for the explanation on badboy el_slapper. i still don't get the point of the paradox manuals. nothing is explained except in the most general terms and all the specific info i needed i either got from other players here or in the official forum, or from the wikipedia and encyclopedia ck. but even those are pretty limited. maybe in time they'll grow big enough.

The HoI2 manual is rather full. He's litterate too, & if you like short sentences & efficient presentation, you'll be disappointed.
CK's manual was a step forward, compared to previous Paradox games : it was not wrong. But yeah, it served more as a reference card(what is that damn trait that I have?) than a real manual.....

I've forgotten a point : you get piety by conquering pagans/muslims ONLY in time of crusade. Hence the very low 7 of piety seen above. As long as there is no crusade, seeking for good brides is the main focus of the game

The CK manual is pretty awful being full of typos.

I've had CK for a few days now and the main problems I am encountering is expanding my domain.

Assuming you have EUII

What you should do is uninstall CK and then go to the Europa Universalis forum site and look under EUII. In that forum there is a subsection called modifications (or something to that effect). Once there, scroll down and you will notice a mod called Mongol Scenario. This mod in its present form has three scenarios: 1150, 1205 and a new one 1250. Install this mod following the download instructions. While still being fiddled with, in many ways this mod is what CK should have been.

Me french frog me does not see typos in english.....

The mongolian mod is rather excellent, but EU2 does not have a dynasty manager of the depth of CK. And no mod can correct that.

Yeah, if you are into the Bene Geserit thing, you can spend endless hours trying to creat the Kwisaz Haderas in the CK universe... too bad there ain't no Fremen to help him with Da Horde when it arrives

I'd say EUII is very superior to CK in every other aspect, and Vicky is second to EUII. CK is a very good game in it's own behalf - especially with the latest Beta patches.
