'Mubarak'....
No thanks, I will name my child myself >.>

Heh, the correct version is Mübarek and it means "Divine"

[RedKing]

edit: Muhammed is also in the history files now. He has some Arabic word instead of a portrait. +1 Diplomacy for Paradox .

Good thing Paradox isn't Danish. 

I like option #4 above, but as Finn's wife is a landed ruler in her own right, I'm not entirely sure I can force her to marry. Although now I'm wondering if I could kill Finn, kill Mael-Morda's wife (the Duchess of Moray), then force a Levirate marriage (marrying your dead husband's brother).

The game should really have plots to force certain marriage arrangements, and/or in conjunction with war settlements (I'm thinking of Henry V, who made his marriage to the Princess Catherine of Valois part of the terms of the Treaty of Troyes).


EDIT: heh...I thought "Hey, I'd like to see a screenshot of that entry for Muhammad....lets google 'sword of islam muhammad'....oh crap...I'm on the watchlist now, aren't I?"

Yep, you popped up on my screen. If you look outside your window there will be a van pulling up nearby within the next 40-50 minutes.

We're watching you.

Can someone explain to me how a plot to kill the ruler of another duchy to get my guy in charge with 336% power can fail not once, not twice, but three times? Please? Anyone?

[Dutchling]

100% plot power = 1000000% plot power.

It just means that you get the highest possible chance, which is usually 90%.

"The best laid plans of mice and men..."

As he said, there is no 100% success chance.

I heard that they were changing it so instead of a "click this button and pray" it's a "your co-conspirators will attempt to help your plot over time" with... something.

I don't remember.

Yeah, thats what I have to go through at the moment. They suggest plots they could go through over time, and I think its more likely the more plot power you have. It may not be as good as the pervious system, but theres a plot where someone suggests buying explosive Manure, so I'm okay with it. (Completely serious.)

[Vactor]

I think the plot mechanism change is for the best.  Before you could plow through a family in a matter of days without much risk of your plot being found out.  Now it is slowed down a bit, and you have to have the plot active over a period of time, where it can be found out or compromised.There seems to be a bit more variance in how it turns out too, you can succeed and be exposed, or you can fail without anyone finding out.  I got a kinslayer in my Norwegian game when I successfully took out my grandson, but was ratted out by the snake handler.

Playing as an Islamic ruler is like CK2 turned up to eleven.  Expansion is a hell of a lot faster, you end up with family everywhere and everyone seems to hate you.  Me likey.

Well, my plan to off my son worked pretty well. With a few bribes, my vassals all stayed loyal. Once the grandson took power however, there were a few rebellions. Managed to put them down, but could only force a white peace. The real problem came when my new ruler's mother became Queen of Norway, which had been getting it's ass kicked for 20 years by a joint England-Castille-Aragon alliance. Realizing that there would be nothing left to inherit if I did not assist my mother, I joined the war on the Norwegian side. Cue two of my largest vassals declaring war again, and Castille landing 13000 troops in Wales, to join the ~8500 Aragonian troops already in southern Scotland besieging my mother's lands. D:

If I had a rested and united Ireland-Scotland, maybe....damn mercenaries (Castille has active contracts with at least three companies, and Aragon has another two). There really ought to be a way to bribe the mercenaries to switch sides. I mean, that was the chief downside to relying on them for defense.

[Johnfalcon99977]

I'm not sure how I did it, but I created the Republic of Thessalonika as a vassal of mine.

Sure, Double post, but this is notable enough in itself.

I was pressing my De jure claims on Taurica for Thrace, and the war was still fairly early on. Straight out of the blue though, the game tells me the war has ended inconclusively. The thing is, there was NO reason for it! My character didn't die, I still had the kingdom of Greece + my De jure claims, no one who was a claimant or anything died, and we both still had fairly strong armies. But the game JUST ended it! There was no rhyme or reason to it!

[Catastrophic lolcats]

I've had that happen to me before and I couldn't figure out what caused it. I'm just assuming it's a bug somewhere in the code. I've also seen it happen with two computer players.

Were they rebelling against another liege when you attacked?
