I assumed his title referred to figurative rape, in fact I think it does?  I didn't know he did the physical act also.

Dawnguard explains this a bit more. Molag Bal basically wanted to profane life, so he kidnapped a woman and then raped her... for days, as a mockery of how life begins. And consider that the guy looks like this, so it's better not to imagine how his dick would look like. When she was about to die from her wounds, he made her a vampire (which is could be explained as... magic rape, and is hinted the process is even worse than what happens beforehand) to mock death (and Arkay).

It gets worse if you consider that when it came to Serana and her mother, they were proably forced to look at each other getting raped and Serana was apparently a virgin. Also, Serana mentions that the whole family went through the ceremony, which proably means his father too. All possible implications of this (did he get buttraped or was he also raping) are disturbing, so better leave it at that.

I don't think we ever got more detail, thankfully. Yeah, Molag Bal is evil.

I decided to be a king of hungary. Got confused over big politics and what I can and can not do.

How can a guy with two sons have worrysome line of succession?

Are you in Gavelkind?

So, I haven't played for quite a while, and don't have Horse Lords or the latest (Conclave?) DLC - but, of course, my game will have patched itself up to the latest equivalent version, I guess.

I've read that Conclave has led to some interesting new alliance mechanics...and that these can be immensely frustrating (or apparently were when it was first released).  I'm not quite clear on what's changed though - can anybody shed any light?  My googling and forum-searchings have just found lots of nebulous complaints/counter-complaints, without much meat on the bones.

(did he get buttraped or was he also raping)

Or, quite possibly, the answer to that being: 'Yes'.

Calls to arms don't exist anymore, as soon as a war is started every eligible ally will be automatically put in it too, leading to no more backstabbing, broken peacetime mechanics, the AI sending all its troops on deathmarches to kill 2k rebel stacks the player can put down alone and all sorts of funny goodies.

This actually makes alliance something worth thinking about. (They aren't automatically granted when you marry your family off now either.)

[LordBrassroast]

When you marry off family, you get a mutual nonaggression pact, meaning no wars between you two. You have another diplomacy option to take after that, which is Form Alliance. If you have an alliance, both you and the other ruler cannot decline calls to war, which are sent automatically at the beginning of each war.

[umiman]

Another awesome thing about non-aggression pacts is that they circumvent coalitions. When you're playing a permanent 100% threat like I am, it's a godsend to not have the Caliphate constantly breathing down your neck.

Coalitions are pretty okay now. You can bypass them in certain ways like blitzing your targets or waiting for rebellions which is decent. I wish threat would go away faster though. It's kinda annoying not being able to do anything for decades on end.

He's my vassal. So are his sons.

I think I figured out. It must be his wife's title. He's listed as a duke of some place in Holy Roman Empire.

This automatic call to arms is horrendous. Thankfully they will tweak it for the next major update.

I rather like it, it forces me to actually pay attention to who I ally with. There's more of a penalty involved in allying with unstable realms from being unable to engage in peacetime actions than there was in losing a little prestige for refusing a call to arms.

Thanks to voices in my head I became a heretic and finally took over missing parts of my future empire. Also, became homosexual.

Gravelkind means effectively my heir will be left with nothing but capital province or what?

[LordBrassroast]

The primary title and a section of demesne goes to the first son. All other titles are given out, with the second son getting the second-most land and each son getting land in descending order until there's no land left.
