Ambitious bastard lol

[Cheese]

My first heir died, which was a good thing, since my second heir was probably better and would have ran off with I load of counties I gave him when he inherited Normandy. Then my first heir's widow spat out a son he'd impregnated her with before he died and this child is now the heir to the throne. I foresee him becoming a victim of medieval child mortality.

[Descan]

So, I finally got a laptop that can run this.



Aside from that Berant Something Something mod, what mods should I get?

[Karlito]

I wish there was a way to press more than one Other Person's claim in a war. As it stands I'll need to wage three separate wars on France to gain control of the Kingdom of Aragon.

[Kanil]

I just got a ridiculous revolt spike when my king just died. Every vassal in Jerusalem revolted, and several back in Aragon revolted as well. Several vassals had revolt risks of 70% or higher.

Never seen anything quite like that before. Instability, sure... but 6 guys with 70%-120% (120%? lol) is unprecedented, for me...

I had just maneuvered myself into position to take control of Croatia with my Duchess's son, literally he was the king, and i was just waiting for her to croak, when the HRE pulls a claim out of its ass from a few generations back where an angry princess had married herself off to an HRE prince. Croatia ended up getting curb stomped and now we're all part of the empire... Fun... I'm now back to where my dynasty was about 75 years ago and my son is a lowly count. 3 generations of plotting and scheming all for nothing.

When you get a new ruler, you lose the (sometimes quite big, I believe it's +1/year you've been their liege) relationship bonus, as well as gaining a -10 short reign penalty, and if they're of a different cuture, a long way away, and have a bunch of conflicting traits with the new ruler then you can indeed get quite large revolt risks, especially if some of them are pretenders. Which is why I no longer give more than one or two of my sons/brothers titles under me within the same ruler.

[Zangi]

If your heir is unmarried or a kid...  you don't get the wife bonus either.  Its really a matter of your 'epic' leader dies and is replaced by someone who doesn't stand a chance of becoming that epic or has yet to prove themself...

[Trorbes]

So my last king (a tale in itself, he had quite a few enemies) croaks out of the blue, succession time, nobody rebels amazingly!  Nearly ten months to the date, his wife gives birth to a son! Quite impressive I'd say.

Out of curiosity, what does the negative relation "title claimant" mean?

[Karlito]

It means they have a claim on one of your titles.

[Zangi]

More specifically, it means their master can use it as casus belli against you, to prop that person up as count/duke/king.

Yeah, I'm familiar with that... I've just never seen it spike so high. Took me by surprise.

Sieges take forever but I've been beating them back into submission.

[mainiac]

Usually a spike that high means that you have gone over the duchy and demense limits.  Every excess county is -10 to relations and every duchy past two is -20.  Those numbers add up preeeetty quickly.

[Kanil]

44% for distant seems to be the primary source. Some other things (female ruler and heir, short reign penalty, being Frankish to vassalize the Templars, etc.) obviously don't help. I guess last time I died, I didn't have nearly as many distant ducal vassals or something, 'cause it really wasn't that bad.

I lived though, the Seljuks and Byzantines attacking helped. Odd that getting attacked by some of the largest players around is beneficial...

Currently raising a little German girl to vassalize the Teutonic Order, to go along with my currently vassalized Hospitallers and Templars. Once I have all three under my command, I'll abandon Aragon and start beating up everyone nearby. 9,000 heavy cav for 15 gold a month = ftw.

Holy orders are crazy OP.  Using mercs all the time is at least prohibitively expense on a large scale.  But holy orders are cheap enough that they often pay for themselves in ransoms.
