Mercs can usually tip the shits in your favour. BTW I LOVE THIS GAME! most fun i've had since sc2 release, allthough i suspect it might get pretty stale after awhile. edit: the "button" to imprison someone is in the diplomacy menu, next to a characters portrait. | ||

The problem is Scotland isn't a tribe t_t, and just to see what happened, I gave myself 10000 gold to hire every single mercenary band, and they raised 3000, I killed that, they raised 1000, I killed that, then they kept raising 1000-3000 every two weeks or so | ||

So I finally created the title of King of Ireland. I control about 3/4 of Ireland, and really just need to finish off Ulster before I own the whole island. I gave two duchies to my two oldest sons, but I'm not entirely sure about how titles and succession work. One of my sons is heir to the throne of Ireland, so imo when he dies he *should* inherit the kingdom, and thus have a claim on everything in the island, yes? I keep getting "Title lost upon succession" for a few random counties, and I don't know how to fix it! Blah! Secondly, my two eldest sons just declared war on each other! Wtf! They're battling each other with armies from lands *I* own, taking away forces that I need to finish off Ulster! Is there any way I can just be like "come on boys, knock it off!" Put them in time out or something? As their king/father, is there any way I can end that war peacefully? Or should I just side with my heir and get rid of my other son? | ||

After that there is technology status and infrastructure upgrades. If you don't spend your money your are going down at the first war. Upgrades your buildings and go get what your deserve. With my Saxony game, I now control 16 provinces of Germany, a few more and I'll recreate the Kingdom of Germany and declare independance from the Empire. | ||

I can swear fealty to them but can't seem to figure out a way to effectively convert myself to Sunni/Shiite. Thought it'd be interesting to play from their perspective well if you can get into a caliphate you might be able to get a muslim court chaplain. He will be able to convert you people. | ||

Put them in time out or something? As their king/father, is there any way I can end that war peacefully? Or should I just side with my heir and get rid of my other son? This is based on my random observations alone, so don't take anything of it for granted - the title lost on succession thing only means that the title is lost to your dynasty, as long as it's still an integral part of a higher rank title (eg Duchy relative to a Kingdom), it stays within the Kingdom unless the vassal wants to force the independence. As long as you're the King and you have a heir to the Kingdom, all the lower ranked domains should stay within it. On the other hand, if you're a count, and you conquered some random counties (equal rank title) that are not part of a larger title (like a Duchy), and you either give them to a member of a different dynasty (via Diplomacy menu) or a different dynasty member inherits it, they go indie because then the situation is that both of you are counts and they don't feel they owe you allegiance I guess. On the other hand, this does not seem to happen if you take a formal approach and invite a claimant to court and/or marry him matrilineally - in this case when you press his claim, he is bound to take you up as Liege if/when you win his title. If you have a Gavelkind succession law and hold 2 different, independent titles (eg Duchies of Leinster and Meath), the sons should theoretically split them up and go their separate ways when you die. If you have a Kingdom of Ireland and Duchies of Leinster and Meath for yourself, eldest son inherits the Kingdom and the younger inherit various Duchies, so you're still fine. I personally get rid of Gavelkind asap to avoid the confusion and people getting titles I don't want them to get and go Elective very early on. I'm pretty confused by a ton of shit regarding successions as well, so if anybody can correct anything above, go right ahead. As for the other thing, such internal struggles are probably a result of plots. So pay attention to your Intrigue page, and if you uncover them on time, you can bully the schemer into ending is plot or imprison him without penalty. You can also do that (imprison him) after the actual fighting begins IF you know it was a plot (if it shows on the Intrigue page). | ||

It also annoys me when a family member usurps my title as King and loses half the kingdom duchies in the process. | ||

This won't work for large kingdoms, as your max demesne won't allow it. For these, I never grant more than one county to each vassal, and I try to keep it within the dynasty if possible. You don't want them stronger than they need to be. Divide et impera! I realize unlanded sons carry a prestige penalty under anything but gavelkind succession, but I really do not give a shit. Holding titles gives plenty of prestige. edit: Myles, each title has its own succession law independant of the duchy or kingdom it may belong to. The holder of a title can change the succession law after holding for ten years. Nobody needs to vote or anything, that's only the other laws, i.e taxes, levies, investiture and crown authority laws. | ||

Thanks, that's what I thought. I can only find the laws that effect the crown level though, so how do you do this on the local level when you own counties as a King? Or do they match whatever is set on the Kingdom level? | ||
