hmm game is kinda dumb in 1 respect

im playing as a russian duke, have united the whole of russia and I personally hold about 15 dukedoms. if i create kingdom of russia i'd have to give away most of them to placate my vassals, since as a king they dont like it when u hold too many duke titles.

so basically if i crown myself king i lose half my prestige/month.

wrong government type?

why does this happen? How do I prevent it or fix it?

I finally finished my game as a Irish OPM and got a score of over 50000. Next I tried to be an Ethiopian King and the Muslim hordes wiped my out in like 20 years.

Can minimize it by making those types of holdings minors/baronies, not the province/count level. Can rig that up by revoking them and giving them to a Baron (castle holder) in that prov. Eventually the Barony will magically become the main holding (I think it switches when it gets inherited), the Baron becomes a Count and gives that wrong holding to a vassal under him.

Can do it in reverse too if you'd rather have Bishop/Mayor provincial vassals, but they suck so why would you?

The child mortality rate is WAY too low. No way a 0 year old count has a near 100% chance of living to adulthood in 1105

I've played EU3 quite a bit and I'm thinking about getting this game. Just, is it very similar to EU3 or does it have new ideas in it and is refreshing? I feel that Paradox games are often quite similar, so that it's not necessary to buy every game.

What I've read in this thread so far sounds really good though (I guess because I'm kinda a history/middle age freak

)

Think that was a design decision. CKI had many more children, with many more deaths in childhood. For CKII, they decided to have fewer children, but with a better survival rate. For roleplaying purposes, I just assume that my wives are trying to have me Edward the Seconded because they're miserable from all the stillbirths.

I just played the demo for a little while and I still have no idea what I'm doing.

I went through the tutorial, but it didn't really help me. I played the single player and still have no idea what to do. I just put it on play at the fastest speed and made a few decisions here and there, changed some things here and there, sent my council out to some surrounding lands every now and then...

But I have no idea how anything affected anything and what I was trying to accomplish. The game seems like something that could be really fun, but then again, the learning curve seems pretty steep.

Any suggestions on how to learn the game faster?

I found a tutorial and Let's Play on Youtube, which helped out a ton.

I went and played another one last night and was part of the Byzantine Empire.

2 Questions:

1. I took over a county and then there was a problem with a heir succession. I think the heir to a Bishoprec was part of another vassal so if the current bishop died, I was going to lose the rights to it? Or something like that. How do I fix that?

2. I started having revolts because of my taxes. How do I manually lower the taxes to satisfy everyone?

1. Might be tricky. A lot of times there's nothing you can do. Maybe you can change your succession laws (if there are semi-cheating gamey solutions i don't know them)

2. The laws tab

I checked it out and I see how you can lower the taxes. I started a new game a little bit ago to look at it, started the game by lowering the taxes as low as I could and still they eventually got upset about it.

I don't know. I'm going to have to watch some more of that Let's Play and see how the guy progresses through the game.

only real option tbh

Another one (for pussies only tbh) is to nominate someone in your realm, if the crown laws allow it (Free Investiture = you can nominate the heirs to bishops).

Super sekrit way to play any character in demo:

Pick one of the 4, then start the game, as the UI fades away and the map starts to zoom in, just click on a province and you play as its ruler instead of your selected character.

i get wafflecrushed every time, you're screwed unless you have a lot of help from fellow catholics. attrition is huge and the muslims have serious armies.

none of that really matters though, the point of it is to gain the crusader trait. church people love it.

As King of Poland I crusaded by myself and was successful. I took over a four province country, defeated the infidels and promptly left, there is no point in trying to keep the land. Although in another game I saw France take 6 or 7 provinces in Egypt and they still had it 100+ years later.

on crusading: I find that if you do it fairly early (1100s) you've got a good chance. Try it in the 1300s and you better bring some good medics with you
