You all too easily forget that I was left in that situation by the AI that took over while I had DCed.

No, I didn't. You're taking my post too seriously.

And there's still the possibility that you can get killed really quickly because each new AI spawns with 400 horsearcher-light cav men while you lose all of yours and have to regain your levy. If they happen to be savage and their war event triggers early...

tbh tarran you did come across as a bit of an asshole back then :p

no inflection ftw?

Depends on what voice you read it in. I guess I should've left the last part out.

I'm not sure how it's possible to modulate the voice across text, but yes, it is annoying sometimes when my tone is taken more aggressively than my actual thought tone.

[Twiggie]

damn, it IS easy to insta-lose once your empire crumbles. managed to get 283 provinces in a 20-year start, something like 63k score, then i could only raise 220 men against my neighbours 400.

thats somewhat broken :/

The fact that you lose all your horde troops on succession (though only one that splits your empire) caused me to lose only 6 years into a game I played earlier today. I think I might try starting in Iceland and running the world hands-off for a hundred years and play around in it once things have settled a bit.

[Twiggie]

heh yeah thats why i threw my non-heir boys in jail and executed. (in SP)

Fun fact: On my personal test game mentioned earlier based on our saves, Friesland and Jerusalem also survive (Friesland just barely, Jerusalem is a rival to my power). Rome was pretty much dead last I checked, but it survived a bit longer than Toulouse which, while it existed, had an african on the throne. I'm pretty sure Twiggie didn't pick an african.

I didn't check Russia, though, and I didn't save. Apologies if you were curious Azthor.

He's had an african on the throne for quite a while.

[Tarran]

Oh, right.

Hmm, I recall seeing a living father for him that did not own land.

Also, patch 1.09 is coming out soon. What's the plan for that?

Edit: God damn it, I guess Steam decided that question for me already since it autoupdated. I thought I had turned that crap off...

[Tarran]

Okay, guys, get off your asses. There are a few things you'll want to/need to know:

CKII version 1.09 is out. Steam automatically downloaded it for me, so if you guys care about me at all then you'll have to download it too.
We can still use the current mod version (and it works as far as I can tell) with 1.09, but from what I've read in the mod thread child conception is broken unless you delete the "birth file" which I'd guess is New World>events>birth_events.txt. But don't take my word for it!
On the other hand, there's a new version out entirely. However, IT IS NOT SAVE COMPATIBLE.

Discuss?

[Karlito]

Ha! I was already in the process of writing up a post. I noticed a few things that seemed off when I loaded up the save with the current version of steam. My ruler had short reign penalties and his demnse limit was 2 (he wasn't getting a ducal bonus). I don't think it wouldn't be such a loss to replay the horde phase of the game, again, though it would be a bit tedious.

One idea I had is that the host could spectate the horde portion of the game and then we could start off after the map has been randomized, though the obvious downside is we wouldn't start off in a privileged position (weak capital, lack of claims, culture and religions wouldn't be our own).

[Tarran]

If we do replay again, I would actually like to have some time to cut out my own little piece of Ross before collapse. I don't know why, I'm just fond of the idea of the Rossish Isles.

[somebody]

If we actually do replay can we start at the year 91 so to prevent the global domination that the last game had?

Because it would get old really fast after we reconquer our territory leaving us with only player countries to compete with.

[Tarran]

I donno, even as Ross the reclamation slows down as you run out of money and as your levies shift from partially-barbarian (several tens of thousands) to only a couple thousand (no, seriously, I went from tens of thousands to 4500 while owning 3/4ths of Britain and Ireland).

In addition, three one-county vassals of mine could raise 1000 or so men. So the players would have serious vassal problems, especially since you won't have many family members due to time travel bullshit...
