You can appoint animals as bishops. At least horses. And if they are immortal horses, it might take 200 years, but eventually Bishop Glitterhoof will rake enough cred to be elected first Cardinal and then Pope

[The famous story]

[ChairmanPoo]

I made my own horse pope.

He's culturally Irish now (because the Papacy ended up in Waterford -incidentally, part of the French Empire- after tensions between a former Pope and my character -author of The Bible Improved- resulted in a war)  but otherwose he's still happy and a horse, 200 years after his election

I've had issues with antipopes though.  For some reason Catholic rulers struggle to accept an immortal quadruped as head of the Church

[Loud Whispers]

How? Can you appoint a pet as successor or somesuch? Or mods?

It's possible in vanilla but a lot simpler to use mods. Also you can't play as the Pope without mods

[Uristides]

Ramblings from my current 1066 start, custom rules, heavily-modded, round-robin-ish game. It's a bit of an ad-hoc writeup because I'm somewhat bored right now and I wish I started documenting things earlier to give a proper sense of just how drastically things transformed over time but eh, can't be helped:


The Chola Empire and India:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

 

The Chola Kingdom is where I started playing. In the 1066 start you hold a lot of of the south-eastern indian subcontinent but Sri Lanka also starts with a 21k strong independence revolt, which I promptly lost. I did try to reclaim it once but my incompetence wrt the claims system meant I just installed a new ruler there instead, while also losing the one county I had as a foothold there in the process :V
Instead of going back there I foucsed on expanding in the mainland and trying to accrue enough land to form the Deccan Empire there. That proved quite satisfactory but I'm sort of a slow expander and after roughly 100 years and 3-4 generations I only had about 60% of the de jure land and 3 kingdom titles I'd lose to gavelkind on death. That and me just being really bored led me to just use the Charlie DLC form empire decision and switch characters.

What you see here is what the AI did with my empire some 100 years after I switched out. They actually managed to hold impressively well. At one point the empire started fragmenting and I was worried they'd lose it, but then they not only managed to reunite everything but also acquired/inherited a whole lot of territory, getting pretty much the whole de jure Deccan Empire sans Sri Lanka, as well a lot of de jure Bengal and Rajastan Empire land.

The little county of Bacs:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

 

After leaving the Chola Empire behind I hit random character on the load game screen and this is where I landed. As you can see, there's just not much to be seen here. The county was in a pretty poor state and held by a tiny dynasty, so I focused on getting good marriages both for eugenics purposes and to try to get some claims on the neighbouring counties and in the duchy of Temes itself.
As you can see my plans for greatness never came to fruition, partially because external factors, partially because I was trying to roleplay, and partially because I just suck at the game.

Anyway, our story in Bacs begins with the sons of count Forgách Laszló, great-great-grandfather of current count Urbano. Laszló himself was a rather mediocre ruler, who left this world at the tender age of 31, being slain in combat while leading troops for his liege against a rebellion. Laszló left three children: Angyalka, bethrotted to Dalimir, heir to Laszló's liege, the duke of Temes; Imre, his heir, was bethrotted to Orsolya, a quite brilliant child of an otherwise destitute noble house; And Gergely, bethrotted to Panni, heiress to the neighboring county of Pecs.

That leads us to Imre:

 

Imre turned out to be a much more capable ruler both in the physical and mental aspects. Orsolya, his genius bride, too turned out to be quite a well-built beautiful woman sigh, but things were not to turn out well for the newly weds.
Early in his reign the ever studious count started dabbling into the hermetic arts, quickly rising into prominence within the society. Unknown to him at first, Panni, countess of the neighboring Pecs and wife to his brother, was also a practicioner of the same craft.
It didn't took long, however, until the two crossed ways while carrying out their duties for the hermetic society. Instantly both felt irresistibly drawn to each other, resulting in a dangerous and forbidden dalliance.
The new couple, well-aware of the sinful nature of their affair started drawing a plan to rectify the situation at any cost: a few months later Gergely, husband to Panni and brother to Imre, was to suddenly turn ill and quickly perish shortly after a banquet, and Orsolya, Imre's wife, was framed inciting rebellion against her liege, a crime for which she paid with her life.
By means of this most unfortunate series of coincidences the way was paved for Imre and Panni to make their union right in the eyes of the Lord, which they promptly did.
Their joy and relief turned out to be short-lived, as the same hermetic practices that first brought them together was to be the undoing of their love: just a couple of years after their marriage was sealed, the lovers were set to go out for a night of joint star-gazing and study. During their scholarly discussions, however, a quarrel, about some unknown, minor matter, broke out between the two. As the night progressed the argument escalated ever more, and when the two returned to the castle they wouldn't speak to each other for weeks.
Their marriage was to be marred with indifference and occasional outbursts of hate and rivalry until their deaths. And for better or worse it wasn't long until Imre passed from this world. The count was from an young age plagued with reccurring tumours growing on his body and draining away his vitality. His own very competent physician had taken care of his cancerous growths before, at one point losing him an eye, but always with success. It would happen once though that his own physician being unavailable and being assaulted by vicious tumours yet again, Imre would agree to be treated by his liege's chaplain instead. Little did he know, however, that far from just being less competent than his own, his liege's medicus was a cruel and devious beast, touched by Satan himself. Instead of removing the tumours, he'd brutally maim Imre, gravely injuring him and sawing off one of his legs. Severely wounded, suffering from cancer and depressed by his hardships, he passed away at the age of 44 and leaving behind five children, two of his first wife Orsolya, including his firstborn and heir Vazul, and three of his second wife, lover at first and then rival afterwards, Panni.
(I know this was really long-winded for the life of a single count, but I think it was a really nice story and really exciting to play through. Shame I couldn't bring to love my wife again, and damn that demonspawn chaplain, I don't even know why he was assigned to me when I had my own chaplain)

Unlike his father, lord Vazul was not a remarkable man. Except for he was remarkably ugly and slow of mind. He lived to hunt, lead troops and fight, and that he did a lot in his short lifespan. At 33 he succumbed to a fiery outburst of his bowels, leaving the realm to his only daughter, Orsolya.

Though not particularly sharp of mind, countess Orsolya was an industrious one and a great deal of her lifetime was spent procuring money and lavishly spending it on feasts and in improvements to the realm. It was only towards the end of her life that she was forced to put her business aside to take care of external matters.
Out of nowhere Jan Borkowic, duke of Temes and cousin to Orsolya decided that Bacs was no longer fit for the rule of the Forgách. Outraged, Orsolya rejected his demands, leaving matters to be decided on the field of battle. While the county of Bacs didn't bolster enormous levies, Orsolya, tapping into her own financial reserves and loans from shady business connections, recruited a sizeable force of mercenaries, which made a short work of her cousin's own unimpressive forces.
Taking advantage of the momentum and her liege's depleted levies, Orsolya then pushed for independence, hoping to deprive the tyrant of taxation from her fertile lands. It was meant to be a short, straightforward affair, but no sooner Orsolya declared war the Basileus(#%&@ that guy) himself issued a decree for peace in the realm. At the end of three months, her cousin all but defeated, she was forced to withdraw and disperse her troops lest she face the ire of the Basileus.
It was only a few years later that her cousin would meet his fall, while waging an unwinnable revolt against his direct liege, the king of Serbia(I still don't know how he thought he could win that). For his treason he'd be stripped of all his titles and lands.
Those matters resolved, Orsolya promptly returned to the admnistration of her businesses. Though she was able to strike great deals, like the funding of a new city and center of trade in Bacs, her overworking tendencies would eventually lead her to collapse at the age of 48. None less than 6 of her children reached adulthood, among them Folgách Urbano, current count of Bacs.

(I'm currently bored to death with this dynasty, vassal wars were made illegal so the only way for me to expand currently is inheritance. I'm really pondering whether I should just switch dynasties again or just, convert to shia, join the assassins, give myself a lot of gold and stats and begin screwing around with the empire from my little county by the Danube)

Okay, that took way longer than I expected. The real reason why I made this post was to show some stupid stuff the AI did, so I think I should at least do that before I go:

First off the political state of things:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

 

Purple blob came from when giga Byzantium, which managed somehow to hold onto Anatolia and conquer all the way up to middle Hungary, inherited mega Poland, which blobbed all the way from Poland down to Hungary, where it bordered Byzies.

The shia caliphate that once dominated Africa from Algeria to Egypt and down to the horn one day just blew up, letting Sicily and Ethiopian states grow in the resulting void.

The Seljuks are a complete paper tiger, losing territory left and right and just recently a Crusade which resulted in the scotish Jerusalem you see.

Also, I'm playing with a mod that turns revolts into their own independent titles when neither side manages to win after some years, here's what happened with Iceland and some other territories after they failed to win a rebellion against Norway:

 

:3

And religion:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

 

The AI actually managed to reform suomenusko on its own! They once dominated the steppes, but a lot of them were since converted or just conquered by christians

The sultanates that dominate from the iberian peninsula down to Mali are actually Yazidi of all things!

The holy cities of Meccah and Medina are currently Shia, and just barely under Druze control. Speaking of that, the Seljuks have actually been Shia for a while now, which is probably why they have been losing Sunni territories to revolts.

Oh, and speaking of Shia, it's not readily apparent here but the current king of Poland and Hungary is actually one of them. I'm not sure how that happened and I fear he may just get revoked and executed by the Basileus before he can do something stupid with the empire, but there's always hope.

And with that I think I'm done here. As a closing remark, I'd really suggest you try out that round-robin informal rule where you change dynasties every 3-4 rulers(or whenever you get bored). It keeps you from just getting to that point where you achieved critical mass and you have to actively sabotage your game in order to have a significant challenge. Plus you get to see your blobs fare on their own, blobbing more, failing miserably and sometimes coming to bite your new blob in the ass.

[Teneb]

It's been a rather long time since I've done this, but I think this dev diary warrants it.

Spoiler: Crusader Kings intensifies (click to show/hide)

Greetings!

PDXCon is soon upon us, and we hope to see you there! During the event we will reveal the name and theme of the Expansion we’re working on, and after PDXCon is over we’ll have plenty of Dev Diaries that will delve deep into the new expansion features. For now though we’d like to present the main feature of the free patch that’ll accompany the Expansion!

It is time to don your armor and ready your steed, as the Vicar of Christ himself has declared that all who join in expelling the infidel from the Holy Land will have their sins absolved!

The Crusades are a very iconic part of the game, though one that has barely seen any change since the game was released 6 years ago. A lot of fantastic and interesting systems have been added to the game over the years, and we wanted this very central feature to feel as deep and interesting as any one of them.

The Catholic faith will no longer use the old Great Holy War system - instead they will use a new and improved system specifically tailored to both increase immersion and enhance the gameplay surrounding the crusades. This system is massive, and it might be hard for us to fit all of the information into this single DD, but we’ll give it our best shot!

We have specifically aimed to fix the issue where, unless you intend to win the crusade, there was no real reason for you as a player to participate except to get the ‘Crusader’ trait.

To accomplish this we’ve made Catholic crusades work in two phases; first there is a Preparation Phase, followed by the actual war. To communicate this properly we needed a new dedicated interface. Enter, the Crusade View:


Holy shield, on the wall, which is the holiest city of them all?

When the pope decides that it's time for a new Crusade, he will send a call to the Catholic world for support. When he does you can access the Crusade View by clicking the Crusade Banner underneath your portrait.

In the Crusade View you will have access to a plethora of useful information, and you’ll be able to take actions to help the crusade or to alter its course. You will be able to see the Pope’s proposed recipient (if any) in the top left corner, and the target character and title in the top right. There will be a timer counting down to the date where the war will start. During this time, the following can be done:

    Catholic rulers can pledge their military support to the crusade. When they do, they appear in the list of Pledged Participants. For every crusader that pledges, prestige, piety and artifacts are added to the War Chest. The religion being targeted by the crusade can ‘counter pledge’, and it’s the relative strength of these two sides that is shown as ‘Total Strength’ underneath their portraits. Pledged rulers will automatically be called into the war as it starts.
    All Catholic rulers get the option of donating money to the War Chest in exchange for piety and opinion with the Pope. This money is then added to the War Chest, more on that later.
    Crusaders who have pledged military support can add a beneficiary to the crusade. This character must be a dynasty member, and depending on your participation in the crusade they might be granted a title in the Crusader Kingdom should the crusade be successful. More on this later.
    Players can pay piety to change the target character and/or title. This cost starts fairly low, but doubles each time to avoid spamming. This means that if you’d rather have a crusade target a scary infidel realm on your immediate border, you can make it happen if you’re pious enough!
    Players can choose their ‘Stance’ on what they want to happen should they be the most participating crusader. More on this later.

If a Catholic ruler chooses to neither pledge to the crusade or donate money to the War Chest, the Pope might get very upset with them. Depending on the rulers tier and influence, this can range from a simple piety hit to an outright excommunication. Revoking your pledge also carries a similar penalty.

Regarding the War Chest - when the preparation phase is over, 20% of the money in the War Chest will be divided between the pledged Crusaders, in order to provide for their levies and fleets as they go to war. The rest is saved until the end of the Crusade, where it is used as rewards for the participants and to set up the Crusader Kingdom. The Crusader Kingdom will receive 10% of the War Chest in order to steel them against imminent counterattacks. The rest (including prestige, piety and artifacts) is given out to the Crusaders who participated in the crusade, in order to motivate you as the player to participate as much as you can - even if you don’t expect to win. To ensure that the top contributors don't take all of the War Chest rewards, any one participant can receive at most 20% of it. As the Catholic world tends to be rather… generous with their donations, this often translates into a lot of wealth! Beware though, if the crusade is lost the majority of the contents of the War Chest will be lost, and Christendom will be weaker for it...

When the Preparation Phase is over, the war begins and the Crusade View changes:

Note that the numbers are still WIP.

The Countdown Timer is replaced by the warscore and the name of the Crusade is updated, otherwise the functionality remains the same (except for being able to change the target, of course, at this point it’s too late for that).

If the Crusade is successful, what will happen depends on the top contributor’s stance. There are three stances; ‘Selfish’, ‘For my Beneficiary’ and ‘Comply with Papal Demands’. The AI will always choose to go with Papal Demands.

    The ‘Selfish’ stance will see the top contributor take the lands for themselves. Doing this completely disqualifies them from the War Chest though, and is seen as impious by the Pope.
    The ‘For my Beneficiary’ stance will see your beneficiary become King/Queen of the lands. While still not approved by the Pope, it’s not seen as impious, and you still qualify for (parts) of the War Chest. If the pope has chosen no recipient for the title, this is the default behaviour and carries no penalties.
    The ‘Comply with Papal Demands’ stance simply sees whoever the Pope wishes to rule the lands become the King or Queen. If he has no opinion, it will go to the top contributor’s beneficiary.


In the old system, the title and all under it went to the winner of the crusade. You often saw France or the HRE own for example Jerusalem, which in all honesty was very boring, and more often than not only resulted in an inheritance mess. While a player can still choose to use the old system by choosing the ‘Selfish’ stance, the new default behaviour is completely different. Unless the Pope wishes to restore an existing King or Claimant (where the normal, old, behaviour will be used) a Crusader Kingdom will be set up:



A Crusader Kingdom is a multicultural kingdom made up of the beneficiaries of all participants. The top contributing participants will have their beneficiaries get higher titles in the target kingdom. To avoid the player gaming the system using inheritance, the Kingdom is always set up to disallow external inheritance - and the AI tends to choose beneficiaries that do not stand to inherit or are married to someone who might inherit.

If your beneficiary receives land in a Crusader Kingdom, your entire Dynasty will receive a monthly boon to piety until their death. In a future Dev Diary we will go into more detail regarding the importance of Piety in the Catholic sphere, but rest assured that it’s going to be more important to be seen as pious than it’s ever been before - making the boon from your beneficiary rather significant.

The new ruler of the Crusader State, in order to properly rule such a challenging realm, gets a trait appropriately named ‘Crusader King/Queen’ which confers a massive same religion opinion along with some other goodies.

And, for the finale, if your beneficiary is selected to be the King or Queen of the Kingdom - you have the option of switching over to them, taking control of the newly established Crusader Kingdom and leaving your old character behind (which is also part of the reason why you can only choose members of your own dynasty as beneficiaries). We believe that doing a thing such as this will provide the quintessential CK2 experience, where you have to both manage unruly vassals and defend against vengeful religious foes!

Stay tuned for future Dev Diaries, where we might go into detail on a few… special crusades.

[umiman]

Ooo... that's nice.

[Mephansteras]

I wonder if they're going to use this system to expand on any of the other types of Holy Wars in the future.

[Teneb]

I wonder if they're going to use this system to expand on any of the other types of Holy Wars in the future.

For this expansion they outright said no. In the future they seem to be going with "no" as well, but things can change.

Apparently duchy-level Crusader States will also be formed if they are either outside the De Jure target kingdom OR if they do not belong to the primary target of the Crusade (an ally, for instance). Unlike the Kingdom, they will be formed during the course of the war.

[USEC_OFFICER]

Apparently the most common way they'll form is by sieging down all of the holdings in a Duchy. Your benefactory would then get the title if you want to make the Crusader State, which means that you have to pick another person to be your benefactory. So it might be possible to make the Holy Land a patchwork of Crusader States all related to each other but I think it might be more difficult than that in practice. We'll have to wait and see.

It's been a rather long time since I've done this, but I think this dev diary warrants it.
