Would you chance marrying someone with "Great Pox" if they have cool claims?
Does vassals ever raid? Since I unified all norse I haven't seen a single ship or raider army out doing their thing. The only viking left in the world is appearently me.
I have seen them in vanilla quite often yes. As tribal, they actually have a negative modifier when you call them to war because they are raiding. Not sure after you reform.
Currently I'm playing HIP, and it seems to be bugged there
You sure that reformed Pagans are allowed to raid?
I'm the reformed germanic fylkir/emperor of scandinavia, and I have my messege settings set to send me reports of all members of my religion. Some of my vassals are tribal, others are feudal. In the past I regularly got messages that "King/Jarl/chief X has returned home with X amount of loot", but in the last 100 years or so, nothing. Have been playing the game from the relese of CM through all the beta-patches.
I seem to remember my vassals pre-CM raiding, maybe it has gotten bugged lately?
How is the "adopt capital culture" decision supposed to work?
For what I read around here, you need:
- To have RoI active;
- To have a capital with different culture than yourself;
- Look in the intrigue/decisions screen.
But I have these things, and no such option. I'm playing a Greek Despot, under the Byzantine Emperor, if it makes any difference.
What's missing?
Which factors make a county an available choice for the chancellor's 'fabricate claim'-mission?
(background of the question: Starting as one county-vassal I sent my chancellor to a fellow vassal I did not like to gain a CB on him. The chancellor was high-dip and had a 25% chance per year to fabricate the claim. Yet after 30 years he still had not succeeded (about 0,02% probability). When I finally gave up and wanted to reassign him I noticed that the county I had sent him to was now greyed out for 'fabricate claim'-missions. I assume it had been that way for most of those decades, which made it impossible for him to succeed - a rather annoying 'feature'.)
That explains it. Thank you.I don't think you can change culture to something other than your leige's
That really shouldn't happen, as far as I know. Did your chancellor like you? If not, he can be bribed by an event to let go a fabricated claim. That's what could have happened.
Otherwise, I don't think there should be any greyed-out territories, except for those you own yourself, I believe...
Does creating a custom empire actually remove the 8k prestige required? I'm playing a Saxony game and my current Fylkir is 36 years old with ~4.2k prestige, so he should be able to get to 8k within his lifetime. I like the idea of creating a custom empire with Saxony's flag and color, but if the custom empire actually uses up the 8k I think I'd rather suck it up and form Wendish Empire, rename it, and further upgrade my holdings with the prestige.
2. Is there a sure way to make my ruler stop leading armies? Even after 130 hours in the game, I still haven't figured that out. I usually swap my commanders until after some random combination of them my ruler returns to the capital. Is there any "Retire" button or something?
No, but I can give you this:There was a wonderfull topic listing intresting characters to play in ck2 in the stiky topic section some time ago. I suppose it has been unpinned and I don't remember its name so I can't find it. Someone can tell me its name?
