Would be a really sad thing since it would simply kill my project... And would decrease the fun of looking at dead characters scores too. Edit: Hmmm maybe it can still work somewhat. | ||

If I have multiple sons, and one of my younger sons tries to kill my heir, and then I imprison that younger son, for some crazy reason that younger son that I just imprisoned becomes my heir. The original heir is still alive. Why does this keep happening? it's screwing me up | ||

How can I stop my country from going completely uncontrollable once I die? EDIT: I realize pagan countries are supposed to be balanced by the fact that they tend to fall apart when the king dies, but I was under the assumption that it would be possible to at least do some damage control so you don't go from being top 10 powerhouse in the world to a 2 county weakling). | ||

If you beat that one down you get a large increase in relations for beating a large rebellion. One thing that helps incredibly is having an outside ally that is willing to fight alongside you. I once had managed to marry the queen of France as the Holy Roman Emperor, so when my ruler died my mother was of course willing to help me smash those pesky revolutionaries, and 50000 frenchmen helped quite a lot in that war. Yeah, I wanted to give titles to people, but it was impossible since I was never given an opportunity to take titles from my vassals... even worse that my empire was split among my three sons, so I still only had two counties when I died... Another problem being that even if I had tons of titles to give out, it wouldn't have been enough since I had over 20 vassals, and at least 75% of them had a -50 rating with me... even though pretty much every single one of them had +80 with my father. It feels weird in a sense that there's so little you can do to prepare your population for your son... it at least seems reasonable to me that they shouldn't hate the son of the regent they loved. | ||

As far as I know all the stuff that came out with the Old Gods dlc is purely cosmetic, but have I missed anything? | ||

I've got all the DLC up to Sunset Invasion (or The Republic, whichever was later). As far as I know all the stuff that came out with the Old Gods dlc is purely cosmetic, but have I missed anything? Sword of Islam, Legacy of Rome, The Republic, and The Old Gods are the big DLCs. Everything else is cosmetic, yes. | ||

I'm playing project balance, if that makes a difference, but I doubt vanilla would make it easier x.x | ||

Just got into this and been playing a fair bit with the girlfriend. We had two questions: 1) What actually are the rules of Gavelkind? Everything I've found online is very vague. What gets parceled up? How does the game pick who gets what? Is there randomization, or is it just kinda strange? 2) I've been having a technical problem with getting the DLC to work. I own all of it, and Steam tells me to access it by playing the game, and on startup I have the boxes checked, but for some reason it won't let me start as Pagan or Muslim, making me think it's not working properly. That said, I'm got the "Hi, welcome to the Old Gods and here's how stuff works as it pertains to you, Catholic Ruler." So color me thoroughly confused. (Minor: On my mac, the shadows flicker like crazy. Any easy solutions to this?) That said, the whole thing has been a blast and I've been enjoying learning about the period via the accessory reading that comes naturally. Did you know the Duke of Bavaria is the current holder of the Stuart claim on the throne of England, Scotland, and Ireland? | ||

Did you know the Duke of Bavaria is the current holder of the Stuart claim on the throne of England, Scotland, and Ireland? Gavelkind is kind of random and wonky. I assume there's internal rhyme and reason, but it often doesn't make sense why it divides things up like it does. It will generally give your 1st heir your primary title and capital, and then split up the remaining titles between the rest of them, with de jure counties going with the duchies. It seems to be the most strange when giving out counties if you have 1 heir getting a kingdom and another getting a duchy inside that kingdom and the counties aren't de jure to those titles. The only way I've found to affect who gets what is to destroy and recreate titles since it gives out secondary titles based on the order they're listed on the character screen. Unfortunately, that pisses off the de jure vassals of those titles. And it's not the first time I've heard about issues with the DLC's. Your best bet is probably to go to the paradox forums and register your game so you can use the bug forum. And yes, CK2 is definitely the reason I know a lot learn a lot more about the medieval period than a couple years ago  | ||

+ Show Spoiler + With the new beta patch, the King inheritor will always get the capital county, plus the de jure capital and its duchy, if you own them. If you have as many duchies as eligible heirs, each son will end up with a duchy and its counties. The primary heir will get the kingship if you own it and the independent counties. If the primary heir is also an inheritor king, he only gets independent counties within the kingdom, and independent counties outside the kingdom will be distributed among the other heirs. If you have more duchies than heirs, same as above, and the extra duchies will be given out roughly in inheritance order. If you have fewer duchies than heirs, things get more complicated. Independent counties within the kingdom will be divided between the primary heir and any secondary heirs that both (a) did not inherit duchies and (b) did not already own duchies as vassals of the deceased King. Independent counties from outside the kingdom will be split only among the secondary heirs that have no duchies. If you have heirs who are already landed Dukes and your vassals, they will not get anything from your inheritance (except possibly under the foreign independent county exception, see details above). So if you want to limit a bad son to one crappy duchy and the succession process won't give the right duchy to him, you can grant the title to him directly before you die and he usually won't get anything else. Among the eligible inheritors of independent counties, the system will try to distribute those counties evenly and according to total tax value (or something very similar). If you want to keep not only your non-de-jure capital but also its duchy and its counties, you're still probably best off not incorporating the duchy title of your capital until after succession, even with the new beta patch. If you want to know how any of this works in more detail, read above. Leave questions and feedback below and I'll respond periodically. | ||
