I know that assassination is easier, but my spy stat is really bad. ok so a county claim is different from a de jure tie, which just allows me to declare war, if only i knew that before :D can i fabricate a claim on a vassal county? i tried it but after like 5 years nothing happened. | ||

Think it would be easier just to marry that vassals heir to your bloodline/dynasty and take it that way ? | ||

You can't fabricate a claim on a vassal county, since you technically already own it. You can only revoke the holder's title, but that pisses off any other vassals. As I said, the easiest way is to piss him off enough that he goes into open revolt. When you enforce demands in such a war, the vassal becomes marked a traitor and imprisoned. After that you can simply revoke his title, as the only one who'll hate you for it is the former vassal himself. Since he's trapped in your dungeon that's not much of an issue. Pelopidas, if you downloaded the, ahem, early version you'll most likely be able to find the update that fixes it the same place. | ||

Dismissing levies after they're nearly destroyed won't let you raise them again though at full strength, you've got a max manpower/levy size per province and it takes time to replenish when that value is deleted from casualties (levy refreshment rate % or whatever it's called is the actual math value for it). | ||

Noticed that if I declare war on day 1 of the game the ai will lead numerous jihads against me no matter how far away. If I wait until day 10 when France or whatever does it then suddenly the Jihad is on Paris. Anyway, typical Paradox stuff. Everything, including the undying armies constantly retreating deeper and deeper into your territory. Well, its kind of nice to see that not much has changed since Europa Universalis 1  Dismissing levies after they're nearly destroyed won't let you raise them again though at full strength, you've got a max manpower/levy size per province and it takes time to replenish when that value is deleted from casualties (levy refreshment rate % or whatever it's called is the actual math value for it). It might not get them up to full force but you can remax t0 90% of the previously annihilated levies if you dismiss them, making it very difficult to actual lose a war at home. And if you are rich enough to hire mercenaries, forget about it. Those Swiss guys go through Muslims like a hot knife through butter. Again, rofl. Anyway, Paradox got my money for almost every title they released. Every title since EU2 has been kind of disapointing as the number of features rose the simplicity of the ai stayed the same. Still an engrossing game, downloaded it at 7 pm, been playing it until 11 non stop so kudos to them. Still. EU 2 > all other titles, better music too. | ||

You'll notice it when you pummel the AI to death, he will raise 20-man units all over his realm as a last-ditch defense. The 20 guys that were restocked since last time the levy was raised. | ||

I just managed to get a hold of all of Scotland and half of England, after a LOT of trouble, and then I get an event that tells me that my retarded half brother who is like 150 and without sons is the next heir, instead of my son who I had chosen earlier with elective monarchy. What triggers such events? I tried reloading cause I wanna keep playing, but he just get elected again.. most likely the dukes in your kingdom like your half brother more than your son so they elected him instead. | ||

Crusader Kings 2 puts a lot of emphasis on how you handle your vassals your success in the game pretty much depends on that. Or you can start as a puny duke and work your way up to the Emperor or get completely pwned because your vassals all hate you. If you are looking for something action oriented this game will not be for you. But if you enjoy managing and building up empires it should be worth the money. thanks for the reply. that was actually exactly what i was hoping and looking for. was getting a bit tired of endlessly playing the Total war series and Heroes etc. Was looking for a game with little actual fighting but more in depth managing and building. will buy it then , should be good. | ||

But like the typical paradox game the game ai goes hyper agro against human, ruining all historical enjoyment after about 30 turns...and the military system is comical. Your army got crushed? lol dismiss your levies and then...immediately reassemble them and a brand new host of troops arises! The AI defiantly don't favour attacking the human over other AI's. It must be in your head.. The levie trick don't work either. I haven't encountered any bugs at all, and I read that there is a beta version out that claim it is full. So if you have a lot of bugs it might be that you pirated the game.... | ||

 + Show Spoiler + it also took me around 12 hours played before I realized you could rename counties/holds. | ||

I got Portugal in the process too, of course, but my question is why can't I make a Kingdom of Spain? + Show Spoiler + it also took me around 12 hours played before I realized you could rename counties/holds. a Kingdom of Spain never existed until the 15th century. That's probably the main reason. | ||
