How do you manage to play until 1459? In my recent game, i started as a small german count, and became the HRE before 1150. I kept playing for a few more years, but the game has kind of lost its appeal now. I inherited France, the HRE is now heritary at high crown authority, so all i have to do is gain a few provinces during each rulers life, wait for the next queen to marry to my heir to pop up somewhere, and spend half of the lifetime of each ruler surpressing the massive result that the death of his father lead too. I did this for two sons now, but it gets stale very quickly. The only way to mess this up is to overextend and go crusading with your whole army, other then that just be sure to have lots of cash when you die so you can surpress the revolution with mercenaries plus loyal troops, after that you gain about +75 relations because you massacred three major revolts at once. I don't think i could do this for another 250 years.

Minor problem I'd like to fix:
Every time I launch CK2 I have to reselect the mods I'd like to use instead of having them save from the last time I played. I'm closing out of the game correctly and everything, not too sure why it doesn't save.

I have no idea where the settings for this would be saved, help appreciated.

Yeah i dont keep on playing till the very end either. My first game was with england. Due to not being too familiar with the game i had some really exciting moments, especially during revolts where I managed to squeeze a surrender out of this asshole duke at the very last minute before I couldnt afford my mercenaries anymore. Long story short i became the Emperor of Britannia and conquered a big chunk of France. But i just couldnt force myself to keep on playing.

After that one I started one with Castille. The start was quite turbulent again. I managed to conquer 4 or 5 muslim provinces which got me in quite a comfortable position. Getting tired of slaughtering muslims I focused my ambitions on one of the smaller spanish kingdoms in the upper part of spain, which I conquered without a huge effort. Unfortunately my Husband, the king of Leon declared war on my queen for attacking an ally. He did the same thing with Galicia though, DOUBLE STANDARDS ANYWHERE? I lost the war and was degraded to be a mere Duchesse while still being the queen of my husband. Since I wasnt part of his kingdom yet he didnt put me in jail. But now I was his biggest Vassal and waited for my time to come and it came quite soon indeed. He got into war with the muslims again, a war which he lost miserably. I seized the advantage and ursuped his throne and put that scum in jail. Now i was the queen of galicia, leon and castille. HA. And of course my son would inherit it all. His dad on the other hand rotted in jail for the rest of his life. Unfortunately there is no empire of spain apparently, so I conquered the muslims instead. But those guys are just too easy to beat, so its not really an achievement.

All in all the game was quite worth the ten bucks it cost me. As a strategy games nerd I didnt eat much for 2 days during my first game as England, cause i got so sucked into this game. But after a couple of days the game isnt that much fun anymore after discovering most of the possibilities. Just give all your titles and land - except Kingdoms and the 5 to 7 demesnes you can own without much trouble - to your heir and keep your vassals down. This is even easier when you started as a small country since you dont have to bother with several greedy vassals from the very beginning.

I was slightly disappointed by the Republic DLC though. Sure building tradeposts is nice but there wasnt much else you could do differently. Right now, I'm trying to get the Kingdom of Italy. Having 100+ income per Month sure makes things easier. At this point im not even sure if The Holy Roman Empire could beat me. But thats of course never going to happen because I give those greedy bastards money to keep them happy.

What do you guys think, is the Song of Ice and Fire Mod worth it? Maybe I would check that one out as well. Any changes except for the map?

GoT mod is really fun, theres just something so satisfying about being an asshole to everyone and keeping your bloodline pure.

Yea after a few playthroughs, the game is just not fun without the mods. The way GoT wars work is a bit different, as the vassalage is presented a bit differently than the basic game. The Prince and the Thane just came back after a long non-working hiatus, and there are a few other total conversion mods that make CK2 much more enjoyable once you pick through all the elements of vanilla.

I suggest starting with CK2+. Pretty much balances the game while making it more diverse and challenging.
http://ckiiwiki.com/CK2Plus


Was having a good game. Started off as a count in Southern Italy, dynasty eventually formed the Kingdom of Sicily and managed to take a duchy from France through holy war. The great and prestigious King of Sicily dies and his decently-raised heir takes over, no biggie. Then he becomes ill and dies and his two year-old hunchbacked son inherits the kingdom. Rage save+quit, lol. I don't think things will play out well when I load the game.

Losing is fun.

For those of you who like the Elder Scrolls series the first alpha release of the Elder Kings mod for CK2 was released today. After playing it all afternoon I have to say it's fucking amazing. Certainly not perfect, but 100% playable with almost everything working.

Wow kudos to the dev team for getting it out. On the mods page it's clear that so many great ideas just sort of die after a few weeks of fervor.

How do you get casus bellis as altmer on the Elder Kings mod? I just kinda sat around in Iliac Bay as the altmer kingdom in there and slowly died, even after getting 3/4 of the counties of my half-siblings.

Nvm didn't have enough piety.

Still, it's really, really slow in the beginning. Counties should start with at least two holdings.

Man I have no idea how to explain why I love this game so much. I literaly can't win in anyway and any country I touch explodes into civil war and I get deposed almost instantly. Even when I think I'm doing good and on a decent stream expanding my kingdom my fucking brother stabs me in the back when all my troops are dead or in some other landmass and I lose the throne.

ah yes, same boat. just to learn the game i used cheats to progress in the game...because without it i wasnt going anywhere lol

now that i know a little more, i'm doing a regular game but it is sooooo slow building up army, piety, infrastructure to engage. most non engaging is marriage but that shit takes so long too T.T

mercenaries are better than every cheat. Just save up your money and conquer some counties with them. Ignore piety and infrastructure at first. Try to change to single inheritance quickly and you are on they way to become something great. I mostly quit after having 4-5 kingdoms and being an emporer because I hate running around with 30.000 household troops quelling rebellions for 10 years everytime I get a new king.

After about 4 or 5 sessions in vanilla, you kind of have to go to the mods because of the endless (and inane) rebellions and lack of things to do. If you go for land and lots of power the game does sort of hit a ceiling unless you are gunning for world conquest. I doubt my laptop could handle that, as being any sort of emperor is very slow to begin with.

If you're running the republic DLC, you may want to make a small change to stop the republics from conquering all of africa within the first 100 or so years (which, given how overpowered they are, will happen).

In your CK2 folder, go to common/cb_types and open the txt file. Search for "religious", bringing you to the holy war cb.
Under
	can_use = {
ROOT = {

add
NOT = { is_merchant_republic = yes }
NOT = { any_liege = { is_merchant_republic = yes } }
NOT = { is_patrician = yes }

If you want to play multiplayer you will need your buddies to do it too or remove it before multiplayer. If there's enough interest I could make a minimod, but it's a really easy fix and until they patch it everyone should do it anyways

If you're running mods you should be able to do this there too if they have their own cb types file.

Same here, I literally tried to refrain myself from overexpanding in my last few games because I know that if I take too much land, the game will devolve into spreadsheet management where nothing interesting can really happen.

The game can still throw a curve ball sometimes though. Last time I was King of Ireland+Scotland, but I didn't get enough time to re-arrange my empire in terms of laws and vassals so it would be safe from rebellion. Then two successful rebellions combined with a sub-par child heir drove me back to my original holdings on the Isle of Man. After that there was a good 100 years until I regained what I lost. It was the most fun I had in a while.

Most of the time though, you'll end up in a position where nothing can really threaten you.

i'm playing the umbrae spherae mod and no mercenary is available for korea.
i have to fight (with no chance of winning) two huge kingdoms for a small piece of country via de jure or conquest...i just switched to the surrounding kingdoms and gave all duchies independence so i can play XD

mercenary is indeed easy mode but it seems not all countries have mercenaries available, i played denmark and they had 1 mercenary with 1000 troops.

i tried editing mercenary_hire_distance_threshold to 999999999 but no difference
