i love paradox and ck2 doesn't disappoint playing as the count of Roussillon it's going terrible because of the duke of Barcelona is so dumb he keeps attacking Muslims in north Africa instead of the ones right next to him and then getting himself dog piled by Muslims next to him. i have to keep bailing him out with mercs getting annoying


it is because you can't attack those near you, since you can't attack vassals, you have to attack the liege and at that point the liege is in north africa

I'm kinda saddened atm, every time I'm doing great with my dynasty, those moors are half way into frace, and when I'm doing a bit worse, france is in egypt and hre is in jerusalem, so I can't do anything to anyone
Imagine a place where the Alps meet the Mediterranean, where you can pick autumn fruits in the morning, bathe in the Adriatic in the afternoon, and go night skiing in the evening…It’s Slovenia!

Yah thats one of the problems with paradox games -- they are most enjoyable when you are playing a smallish country with a decent chance of expanding somewhere without breaking the game engine. But to make France/Germany/Byzantium human playable they've made those monsters undestroyable because even if you, hypothetically, beat them in a battle thanks to the instant regeneration on of 'call vassal button' as long as their counties are unoccupied, and for such huge states they will never be, there will be an almost never ending supply of troops to drown your army in blood...and since combat as always in paradox games is 90% to get your army to be 30-50% larger than the other guy those states wont die.

I have so far seen 1 'big' country fail, which was Leon which at one point managed to conquer almost all of Spain except Muslim Portugal and my Duchy of Barcelona...and then was rolled by Muslim Portugal out of existence. But that only happened because (1) holy war war button is fun and (2) Portugese Muslims were able to field armies as big as the Leon armies.

As a small Kingdom of Sicily I can barley field 10k while Byzantium regularly throws those kinds of units just to supress revolts in one provinces way out of the way, which is I guess why Byzantium is on its way to reconquering Iraq for the glory of Rome...!

Oh well, still very addicting. Has anyone noticed the most hilarious bug of them all? You hire crusader knights for piety but 90% of the time the game doesnt charge you their monthly fee. So if you are one of those countries next to a Muslim country and get the free, unlimited declaration of war known as 'holy war' you can load up on those super beastly Knights of St John/whatever and destroy.

So guys what do you do when your empire gets too large for you to hold? Do you give all the extra counties to your heir and throw it down that way to ensure that it stays within your control?
I tend to give it to my sons and hope to god that they don't make their heir some count in a neighbouring country, but I have a feeling there are better options.

Also it seems to be a REALLY bad idea to let one of those plotting sons who kill off your other heirs to enherit actually become king. I thought in the lines of 'well atleast he really wants it, so I guess that's a start', but god damn, he's the most hated guy ever. 150% revolt -___-
Is it the kinslayer perk?

Can I nominate my own candidate for someone to plot against? The only ambitions I seem to have involving murder always also involve my own wife. Now sometimes she's also planning to kill someone so it's not toooo bad, but I'd much rather sneakily plot to kill my rivals instead of my own family lol.

How do I sneakily try to kill someone that's actually a threat to my realm? Every dude I've played as so far wants to kill his wife! Focus that hate on the bad guy! ZZZ
I admire your commitment to being *very* oily

You can only do it the good old way with a simple assassination.

Sadly CK2 lacks in ambitions ;/

Ill buy this game in after the first expansion has been released. To be fair, all paradox games suck before they get patched then they turn into gems.

Mercenaries seem so imbalanced when playing as a smaller realm / county. 1500 crack troops for 60 gold against measly 300-400 with poor leadership the neighbouring counties can muster.

Ok, this is getting a bit ridiculous. The kings of my dynasty seem to inherit super human longevity in both life and sexual prowess. My last 3 kings have all lived past 70 and kept having children well past their 60's once their 1st wives died. My latest King just had another child at 71 years old!

edit: lol and another at 73.

This is what happens when you marry your daughter to the french king at the start of the game. William truly became a Conqueror :D

lets see how long I can keep this baby alive


edit: lasted 2 years because my king died :D

I never played a Paradox game or any similiar game before, so sometimes I just wait and see whats happening. But it's really fun. Playing as Galicia I already became the boss of the Bretagne through marriage, effectively doubeling my realm. Tons of allies through marriages and when the muslims attack me my friends come all the way from Hungary and Ireland to help me.
But I have some questions:
1. When ally armies come to help me in my war, is there any way to influence their actions? Oftentimes they just wander around and don't really engage in any battles.
2. How do I conquer new provinces? In several wars with Leon or the Muslims I attacked and won, war points at 100% but I can just demand a truce for honor and some money. After attack the holdings and the province becomes lined with my colours, is there a way to convert them and include them in my borders?

It's a great game to just relax, sit back and watch your actions unfold. I'm glad I purchased it.
I'm shy and reserved, even on the internet.

you cant control your allies armies.

If you get new provinces depends on your casus belli. So for example with a holy war CB you can take provinces off the muslims. But to take provinces from fellow christians you will need claims on the provinces or an Invasion CB from the pope.

so always read the describtion of your CB very carefully so you can decide if it is worth it.

I think there's an event for that when you have a higher martial than the current marshall. It always happens when you're playing a king and a prodigy kid in your court grows up and gets 20+ skills at the age of 16.

Are you playing on Easy/Very Easy? That boosts your fertility far beyond what's normal. It actually makes the game harder in the sense that you have so many more kids to micromanage. -_-

No, I'm playing on normal. And it is getting a bit much to manage. I've got about 10 kids who have or will soon come to age and start demanding land and shit since they almost all have a legit claim to the throne -_-
