[LordBrassroast]

Welp, Aztec hordes sacked Westminster and offered my entire family up in sacrifice to heathen gods.

AUGHH PARADOX I GET IT! I'm sorry for being white and American, just stop with the doomstacks! 

[Culise]

My character went "wenching" and became incapable. What is this supposed to represent?

Wenched too hard, had a stroke?

You missed your dead wife so much you tried to compensate with sex.

The event has a 90% chance of lustful and 10% chance of incapable.

I'll leave it to your imagination how that happens (protip: it involves elephants and a trampoline).

It's always unfortunate when the harness on the horse fails, but at least the greased Scotsman got out with the maids.

[Sirbug]

King of Ruthenia got himself voted for Croatia, I hate this guy. He has more land then me, and I'm his Emperor. At least I denied him Perm by switching it back to Gravelkind.

I really wish there was some kind of sensible province trade system, so I could evict a count from my Duchy and dump another duchy on him instead, so my demesne was more consolidated.

[scriver]

If a count or a duke holds a county within your personally held duchy, or has more than one county title, you can usually plot to revoke the title in your duchy.

If your laws allow turkey revocation then you can just revoke it outright. Of course, both he and your other vassals will dislike you for that. Revoking a county from somebody who has revolted against you and lost is fair game, though.

I'm not sure that would fly in a historic medieval hierarchy.  Being rightful holder of a major title was a big deal, its not a bargaining chip to be traded away.

Correct.  It would, however, have its uses in modeling the Russian rota system, where something like this in fact existed (when the Grand Prince of Kyiv dies, the next in the line of succession moves to Kyiv, his own successor takes up his previous position, and so forth, effectively leading to a "ladder-like" ascension through the hierarchy of titles).  While there's less sign of it in vanilla (maybe the Byzantines?), it could also have its uses in mods (f'rex, a late-Han/early Warlord/Three Kingdoms mod that handles the buildup to the era, modeling cases where a person ruling one prefecture was reassigned to another one).  This has not been implemented largely because coding for it is a huge pain in the tuchus for questionable benefit.  That said, they did eventually figure out how to install tanistry, so...

EDIT: Ah, a missing period. Thankfully, it'll have less consequences than some other cases I can think of.

These kind of things did happen in Frankish Outremer, where the link between fiefs and dynasty was weaker due to being a fairly recent conquest and everyone just dying all the time. I wouldn't be surprised if it occured in post-conquest England too.

Anyway, I really want to try a MP game. Who would be up for it?

Particularly under gavelkind!

[EuchreJack]

This game is absolutely LOVING fucking me over in ironman.

Every ironman game has fucked me over somehow. Latest? Over half of Britain decided they didn't like the looks of me.

That's why they call it IRONman, not Normalman.

I'd be interested.

Something needs to be done with Holy Roman Empire. I have a lot of levies, but they have more. They took over most of Western Europe and also Jerusalem.

[Lukewarm]

Deus Vult!

[Sirbug]

But they are Catholics. In fact they gained Jerusalem in a Crusade.

[scrdest]

Allah Vult, then!

[Sirbug]

Being an Empire makes it hard though.

I want to ask, so far I haven't bought any DLC and I understand most of what they offer I get for free with latest patches. Should I actually buy those major DLCs or it isn't worth it?

[hector13]

Remember: There's nothing wrong with becoming their vassals then slowly consuming them from the inside out.

Other than it being exactly "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em!"

Yes.
