Well, that was a fun session. I bet next session will be nothing but me crying over a succession crisis.

Also, apologies Twiggie, but one of my republic vassals pulled a reverse-William. Though at least it wasn't as bad as Fivex's vassal.

I've been in one long succession crisis, I wasn't paying attention and I gave my kingdom to the son who changed cultures who then died a few months later and gave me control of a 13 year old and my kingdom to the duke of the Sinai peninsula who I warred and accidentally gave the kingdom to my uncle who soon after died causing the kingdom to default back to the duke who I again warred to get it back, I even had to break a truce but he changed to a dead religion so who cares, and it went to my younger cousin and soon after the duke rebelled for the kingdom but got curb stomped.

All that aside, everything seems to be going rather well now, I'm next in line to the kingdom and am one of the largest duke in existence at the moment.

Tanistry succession has been kind of hit or miss for me. I didn't realize that counts got to vote as well, which makes it a whole lot harder to control voters, like you can with ordinary elective. In fact, I haven't been able to sway a single voter with bribes, which probably means they disregard your relation with them if you aren't their direct liege (every single duke voted for Arthur the Great's choice before he spoiled everything by imprisoning and executing the ones that weren't his choice). On the other hand, it's supremely meritocratic, to the extent that the overwhelming choice of every lord in the realm was a (then) 4 year old genius living in England Lancasterland. Hopefully that doesn't get ruined if/when he converts to Orthodox Frisian.

With a genius King in power I'll hopefully be able to have a secure enough power base to convert the lords of the realm to Orthodox and move to Turkish succession, which is clearly the best choice. I'll be able to groom multiple sons and select the best one from among them to give titles too (and succeed the throne).

I intend to put up maps and such in a little bit.

EDIT: So, that was a larger bit than I intended, but a few screenshots are up in the OP. I forget to get a save at the end of the session, so if someone wants to post one, I can put up some statistics as well. A new version of the mod has been released. It contains some bugfixes(the mayor event I was having trouble with got fixed) and it should be compatible with the current version of CK2.

I am doing mighty fine considering I wasn't in the game for what must have been a decade (or more). 2nd largest army, last I recall, though the others' may have been dragged down due to vassal opinion or recent wars, so that is just a rough measure.

[Tarran]

Also consider the A Bit Barbarian modifer going away and the "recently conquered (different religion)" modifier I've begun noticing on my non-Lancastrian provinces which ganks troops. Those also send the troop count comparison into wack.

While I've mostly managed to unify all of my vassals under the same faith, provinces remain a whole other matter. The religion map looks like a rainbow for quite much the whole world.

[Tarran]

Yeah, it doesn't help that the mod randomly spreads religion! I convert Chester... then suddenly LOLNOPE, it's not Lancastrian anymore.

And it was the only province that all of my Court Chaplains ever managed to convert. Le sigh.

[Tarran]

A new version of the mod is out. It doesn't have a savegame incompatibility disclaimer.

[andrea]

does that mean we are going to play with the newer version of the mod?

[Karlito]

Yeah, we should, since it fixes the bug with the mayor seizes province event.

[Twiggie]

Think I'm gonna drop out, just not too interested atm. See you guys at EU4 release!

[Tarran]

Somebody, Azthor, where are you guys?

[Karlito]

Highlights from today's session include Fivex invading Africa, the Frisian Pope converting to a heathen religion, and slightly buggy Merchant Republic mechanics.

[Tarran]

Wait, Fivex invaded Africa?

Wait, Fivex invaded Africa?

I've held small parts of it for a while.
