I agree that other map modes are needed. Yeah what I'm getting at is that the other map modes are even more needed and useful than the de jure ones. | ||

-Fabricating claims seems to cost way too much money compared to vanilla, slowing down the game too much in my opinion if you play as a duke or a count (150g for a county is like 10years as a count). Am I missing a good way to make money ? I understand it makes things more difficult, but it seems to make them just slow. Is there a way to edit the values in the mod ? -In Vanilla i can usually find geniuses or other good genetic traits for marrying my dynasty. Here not too much making, is it intended or am I just unlucky ? -Is there a good AAR made zith this mod ? Would be good if instructive. | ||

Its unbelievable to me that a unified Spain, with the biggest dutchies under the King's personal rule and with a rule of law (or whatever you call that thing that determines how many levies you get/how much your vassals hate you/if your vassals can fight) has almost 100,000 troops less than France that is missing Toulouse and is decentralized as hell. That might be due to recently being in a war with tonnes of troops dying, newly conquered lands that take ages to be ready to host levies or due to shitty province buildings though. Still.. France is a bloody powerhouse as in all paradox games. One thing to remember is that paradox often rather goes for historical correctness than game balance from what I've heard. If France was the most powerful nation during that era, then it'll be the most powerful nation in their game as well. | ||

This crisis even led to the hundred years war which crippled France for multiple centuries (if you want numbers, because of the war France lost 60% of its population, estimated) (well to be fair, the black plague in the middle of the war was probably the main cause of casualties). | ||

I really like the interface changes (especially the clarification of how claims are inherited) and the addition of military combat modifiers. I wish I could "press all de jure claims" when declaring war though. Being able to press multiple personal claims but not de jure seems a bit odd. Anyone have an explanation? | ||

I agree that it doesn't make much sense, but maybe it is there for balance reasons? If the ERE could quickly take all of Croatia, Dukja, and Pecheneg territory, it would become really powerful in a timely manner. I can imagine a ton of scenarios where a strong empire could quickly become much stronger from pressing all claims. Iberia, for instance, would become even more dynamic than it already is. | ||

It appears that it has some features for Muslim players, if that's what you were looking for, because in the changelog it says - Now compatible with 1.06, with various tweaks to merge CK2+ mechanics with 1.06 mechanics. Piety cost for Muslim/Pagan conquest CB was increased to 100. . I don't have it downloaded, but I am certain it will work for 1.06.- Cut a number of features that were made superfluous by the 1.06 patch, such as the Appointed/Hereditary titles law, Concubines and the Dynamic title system. | ||

I can't hire any of the holy orders because they've been perpetually hired by the Borjigids for 50 years now. WTF? The Sunni religion covers all of northern Africa and the majority of Arabia/Levantine/Persia... yet we have NO leader and our moral authority is down to 35%. I don't see how we can call any Jihads since there is NO Sunni Caliphate and NO leader. I have no clue if there is a mechanism to recreate said caliphate or leader but having 35% moral authority is pretty goddamned awful. And this is with no European presence at all in Africa or Holy Lands. ERE is beat to hell too. Pretty much all of Anatolia/Nicea etc is Muslim. They're pretty much pushed up right to Constantinople. Borjigids own most of Russia too and they're Sunni. So, I'd say roughly 2/5ths of the map is Sunni. Yet my religion's moral authority is 35? Also, there's no way to change my first wife. I have to wait for random scripted events and hope one of them wants to become first wife. And most of the time, it's just one of the wives constantly harping for it while the others do nothing. Also, even when I'm pressing fabricated claims now, I get wtfzerged by Christian nations. I was the Sultan of Africa and I pressed a claim on the county of Palermo. I checked Siciliy's allies list beforehand. He had one ally, the duchy of Appulia. I attacked with about 12,000 troops. Sicily could muster 7. I wiped the floor with him. Then the HRE, Verona, the Papacy, Hungary, Croatia, Genoa, and Aragon all join the war. In total, they throw 60,000 troops at me. For a fabricated claim on the county of Palermo. Uh...wtf? I check the tooltip and sure enough I click on normal claims and it says "neighbor Christian powers might join the war." Except HRE, the Papacy, Genoa, Verona, Hungary, and Croatia aren't even neighbors. It was literally the entire continent of Europe excluding France and England that came rushing to defend the county of Palermo. This is while they're fighting other wars too. In fact, I watched Hungary and Croatia who were at war with each other, both attack me, and then declared a white peace on each other so they could send everything at me. Is CK2+ just broken trying to help Christian nations or what's going on? I have no ability to hire holy orders. I have no Caliph to declare jihads. I have NO allies. The muslim nations never seem to want to join in. My only ally is the Borjigids who are constantly in civil war. The muslim powers around me don't even want to marry. They all claim to want "better alliances" when they're emirs a quarter my size and I'm a Sultan. I have a ridiculous number of sons and daughters but all they seem to do is drive my decadence up. The daughters are no use coz I can't get any good alliances with them. The only wars I seem to be able to win are vs other Muslim powers which wtfpwns my piety. I'd much prefer to roleplay some and go at the Christian powers and ally with other Muslims, but none of them want to. Even though my Sultan's got a ton of good traits and they like him. 50+ relations scores. Yeah, in general, I'm kind of just hating my game. Sicily's got 4 counties. I've got 16. Yet I get raped trying to make good on a claim vs them. Sigh. | ||

What's that? Something to do with how well your dynasty is landed or something? | ||

I noticed there was some kind of grape to the left when playing muslim. What's that? Something to do with how well your dynasty is landed or something? The grapes represent decadence, which is a unique mechanic for Muslims. It is how well your dynasty is landed, and when you have members without land(or enough land considering your rank) it will increase every month. It starts at 25% and if it moves below that due to battles or events you gain a bonus to taxes and troop moral. When it's above 25% you get a penalty. If it goes above 75% you have serious risk of being disposed by a new dynasty that rises up from desert. It's partially there to represent how ruling dynasties were overthrown when the desert nomads/tribes no longer saw them as being worthy of rule, as well as to make it important to land sons, which can then potentially cause general succession issues from infighting. The Muslim succession mechanics in general are very different than the Christians. | ||

The Muslim succession mechanics in general are very different than the Christians. You dont even need to land anyone. The strategy working best for me right now is not giving land to any family member. I try to keep the number of sons ~ 4 and kill decadence off by the ramadan event. Works quite well. Dont forget to imprison and banish all your brothers though. Enjoy a 20+% income modifier all game long. The new invasion for 500piety CB are seriously imbalanced too. I invade england and get all their vassals with some 90+ relationship bonus. | ||

Yea, there's ways around it. I personally usually take the decadence hit unlanded sons provide, unless I have a bunch of them, while negating it with wars and ramadan. There have been a few occasions though where I had 8 or so sons, no wars that wouldn't get me crushed, and a young ruler, so I ended up having to land some of them to avoid get >0.5% a month and having it skyrocket in only a few years. One of them was a annoying to get rid of once my son did inherit, though. | ||
