[Holbenilord]

Cyprus is one of my favourite OPMs! Thank you paradox, these ideas seem pretty cool.

 

[Mortheim]

+1 army tradition and -1 navy tradition decay... That's my dream <3

 

[IIWW]

Wow. Thats pretty cool, I'm certainly gonna try playing Cyprus. Meditereanian naval superpower, competing with Venice.

 

[oblio-]

Hello new Mediterranean naval power!

King of Jerusalem: 0.5 Legitimacy & 20% Faster Fabricate Claims

Speaking of which, can you restore the Kingdom of Jerusalem ?

 

[Mercenary46]

Speaking of which, can you restore the Kingdom of Jerusalem ?

Yes, but only before a certain date and you can't be a republic.

Spoiler

Formation of Jerusalem

The following must be true:

Jerusalem does NOT exist.
Religion is Catholic.
Government type is NOT Republic.
Owns Judea (379).
Protestant Reformation hasn't yet begun.

Jerusalem will be released and its culture will be as the forming nation's primary culture. 25 prestige will be added to the forming country and the province of Jerusalem will be added as Jerusalem's core.

 

[lordelenath]

Yes, but only before a certain date and you can't be a republic.

That's exactly the thing: You're not forming but releasing them as a vassal. Currently it's impossible to actually form Jerusalem. While you're not playing Ironman that's not an issue obviously, since you can just play as the released vassal.

Ya, it's rather unfortunate that there isn't a special exception for like Cyprus or The Knights (maybe if you stretch it some other holy orders like the Teutonic knights) where they don't release it ,but become it.

Cyprus

this is crazy!

...I like such madness in games. 'screwed' OPMs are often very fun to play as

Hm, looks like Cyprus is going to have very good generals, legitimacy and galley fleet. Maybe it will even manage to survive

 

[stnk]

Now, add achievement for forming France with Cyprus with Lusignan dynasty and I will be super happy

 

[gothos]

Cyprus stronk.

Wait you can release it but you can't become Jerusalem then ? If you're playing Cyprus that's kinda odd.

Nope, you would have to play non-ironman then save and reload as them. Jerusalem also has its own set of ideas, but ONLY if you use the save converter for ck2. Otherwise, they get generic. It's silly.

 

[FitzChiv]

Great ideas, and all the more reason to make the Kingdom of Jerusalem formable.

 

[murlocmancer]

These seem really cool and I can be like the bandit of the seas once I crush the Barbary states in a trade war or something.

 

[Krajzen]

This would be ingenious

Looking at how changed the province shape in palestine, I think this decision probably changed at least a little actually

It's a shame the core creation cost is such a barrier now, my favorite play of attacking into Berber land is probably a no-go next patch due to the cost, but I'll have to experiment there. The usual Ireland or HRE route would still work but those aren't as fun.

 

[wergy]

Cool! It makes me want to play Cyprus so bad
By the way, what's with the brutal OPM/TPM ideas recently?
