Better yet, throw them in prison. Plotting is a valid reason to arrest someone, and if you fail (on purpose or otherwise) you can still bludgeon them in the rebellion, and then you can revoke one of their titles tyranny free.

Started a game as King of Mercia. Didn't immediately get roflstomped or die of stupid shit. I've taken over a couple petty kingdoms, and am slowly uniting England. It seems like all of my vassals continually want to kill each other, but I just slap their hands and tell them to knock it the hell off and they stop.

How do you slap a vassal's hand in such a way?

Right click their portrait and select "End Plot." That tells them to knock it the fuck off.

Ah, I see. My response about needing Conclave was based on the assumption that MZ was talking about wars.

[Digital Hellhound]

Conclave lets you enforce Realm Peace when the council is happy. This gives everyone in the realm like... 4 months? to finish any wars or they get white peaced. I finished one war with only a few days to go once when my AI liege did it, it was a very enjoyable race against time.

You can also call in a favor on your liege to have them enforce Realm Peace, if your fellow vassals get too rough with your provinces. Useful!

Oooh goody, Sunset Invasion fired in 827

67,200 event troops (in this wave), not sure if that's scaled down or not.  Lacking attrition, they really could steamroll most of Europe if they played smart.  The Umayyads and West Francia have 10k each.  Britain has about 15k split amongst three main warrior parties.

I'm Amalfi, part of the Byzantine Empire, which has... 19k.  I think we'll probably be fine, they'll probably blow most of the stack besieging holdings.  Right?  And Catholicism is doing pretty well, so there should be a fairly united front between them and us.

I've been letting myself lose doge elections and desperately trying to build a dynasty.  It seems to have hit critical mass, so I'm not in particular danger of losing due to disease.  People are still dropping like flies, though.  I hope the Aztecs aren't immune to disease-based attrition, jeez.

But besides my level 4 palace under construction...  I'm basically just a one-county trade republic.  And not even the doge.  So if they *do* break through, there's not a whole lot I can do to stop them...  Mercenaries will be depleted, and no holy orders for almost a hundred years)

Emperor protect me...
I'm honestly excited for this

Edit: Aw balls the southern half landed and now they have 166k.  And I *think* there's another wave coming later?  I don't think this is scaled down at all haha

How they could have arrived on Viking ships if Vikings don't even yet have ships? :s

Vikings can time-travel. It is known.

But only when they're Lost.

I think the event that gives them ship tech fires in 800.

From what I've heard, "Random Aztec Invasion" could be renamed "A solid 300 years before you are ready Aztec Invasion."

There's probably some confirmation bias on that though.

...  They're just sitting there in half of Ireland plus Cornwall.  160k troops just chilling in the hills.

Friend says that the council update kinda screwed up invader AI, so this isn't uncommon.  It's been 25 years, I'm disappointed ):

[USEC_OFFICER]

Nah, the invader AI has been pretty passive before Conclave, assuming that they end up on an island. My Islamic run, before that DLC came out, had the Aztecs conquer the entirety of the British Isles _{including Islamic Wales}. After that they pretty much sat on their asses, converted to Catholicism, and called it a day. Sure, they participated in a few crusades against Muslim Hispania, but those didn't go anywhere. Deathstacks of event troops aren't very helpful when Rome can just be blitzed to have the holy war called off almost immediately.

Wait. They're just chilling in Ireland and Cornwall? That can't be natural. Yeah, something must have changed in the AI which is rather weird. The Mongolian AI got a boost in aggressiveness, so I don't see why the Aztecs would get so quiet at the same time. Huh.

That was alliums, though.

[Digital Hellhound]

Wait, what? For me, Conclave (or maybe Reaper's Due) seems to have finally fixed invader AI (at least Mongols, who just used to sit tight or god forbid, settle after their first conquest). Maybe they're just going to be wonky forever.
