[majikero]

Not really intended but somehow, I'm using marriage and assassinations to further my goals. Also manage to inherit the HRE with little to no trouble. It's on it's way to converting to Miaphysite.

Now I just need to get enough votes to increase to medium crown so I can change succession laws. Also, need to sleep.

Dammit. Finally I get a thing to play that can actually expand at a good rate, can grab an entire kingdom at once... and they take it all away. Boo.

I never saw that 'Prepare Invasion' thing, come to think of it. Ever. I wonder how you even do it.

[Dutchling]

Prepared invasions are only for really small realms I think. And just don't opt in for the Steam beta if you don't want the change

[scriver]

What is this steam beta thingy?

Also, for invasions to work, you have to have fewer vassals or holdings or whatever than the kingdom you are invading. Then you have to petition the Pope for his support. Then you get Invasion casus belli.

I remember one of my good games as Nakonid (an OPM starting out in Lübeck wedged between Denmark, HRE, and murderous mecklenburger pagans) where I joined Poland for protection, and the Piast king had the gall to try to claim my capital, so I turned my back on them and ninja-joined the HRE before they had time to declare war. Then, a generation of hijinks and slaughter in Germany later, I saw that the Polish realm was busy fighting the Hungarians, so I buttered up to the Pope, got my casus belli, and invaded. Made sure to take the Polish capital. Felt good to pay those snotty Piasts back for old insults.

You know those special options you get sometimes, from having the honesty traits or high diplomacy/marshal/etc.? Why are some of them just useless? I don't get what the point of adding them is if the new option is nothing but negative, while one of the default options is nothing but good. Why even bother putting it in? RP reasons?

Yeah, I think it is mostly RP. A hell of a lot of people play this game changing their playstyle depending on their ruler's traits, which means you might sometimes go for the negative option if it fits with their personality.

The AI is not averse to choosing negative options.

[casserol]

Ah, I see Paradox made a funny with an event line inspired by a famous outlaw, which you can end by recruiting him.

What probably wasn't expected however was than the event would loop on itself . By the time I tried to quit and reload the game, which fixed it, I had four of the same guy who joined my court, with four of his same wife. Which propelled the event from "funny" to "my favorite sort of funny" : the hopelessly absurd.

Since they all got the same stats they're now all bickering over who should be on the council and I can't tell who's who.

and now I got 4 guys with 20 martial to lead my troops but that feel a bit cheap and gamey.

Also some people roleplay.

Wouldn't the Steam beta imply that's an official patch coming out later? Or is it just a fan patch?

[Descan]

He's right, it will come out sometime. Next week?

Anyway, just be smarter about who you subjugate. Sometimes I would have used it on like, 1-3 province rebelling dukes, because I knew I would be able to do it again soon.

I'm not winning CK2 until my empire covers all the known world! MUHAHAHAHAHAH!
And then Paradox takes away the only easy way to actually get land that doesn't require several generations of planned marriages. Grrr.

[Sheb]

Well, there are other way:

1) Invade all muslims lands.
2)Convert to Islam
3)Invade all Christians/Pagan lands

[krisslanza]

Well, there are other way:

Muslims have Agnatic succession, I always try to do female ruler runs.

I'll just have to think of more clever ways to conquer the world in my name, clearly.
