50 years in and it's gonna be one of those games

Half of his siblings are the same. I'm guessing a certian super courtier became the court tutor...

He's now in the middle of a Holy War and just lost a 25-martial commander.

Heh, I felt the same when I saw that the ERE Emperor had converted to Buddhism. Thankfully I had a claimant in my court and I was strong enough to force it while the Emperor was busy fighting the Blobassids. There are some deviations in CK2 that are kind of plausible and acceptable to me, but these kinds of things just drive me mad to the point of abandoning a few games if I am playing Ironman and can't fix them with the console

Will altering any of the game setup options reduce the chance of these ridiculous events happening?

I mean if it happens in early start dates it usually cripples Catholicism with internal holy wars for generations leaving the Umayyads to steamroll. All because of a single religious flip.

Good question. Not anything vanilla, and i'm not sure if the decision to script whom AI will assign minor titles to is moddable. I think something like court tutor should be restricted within culture group and within the same religious.

There are already requirements for honorary titles. Probably it would be pretty easy to add something like

OR = {
     ai = no
     AND = {
         culture_group = ROOT
          religion = ROOT
    }
}

if I have that code right...

Beyond that, the AI simply shouldn't choose Heritage or Faith focus for dynasty members unless they're already of the wrong culture or religion.

The Umays could go catholic

The Umays could go catholic

Lol I did that once. As a French vassal, got one of the distant Umayyad claimants as my councilor, who recently fled to my realm. I converted him and let him marry, he wanted a wife and I wanted his vote... I even married him to one of my kin, then forgot about it.

He left my court, who knows when. Probably, I fired him for someone with better stats who knows, and he ended up Emperor of Hispania. I wasn’t paying attention, until one day I was getting ready to attack south when I found out I could not holy war anyone... they were ruled by Catholics and the heir was my dynasty!!!

Sadly, my kin did not inherit. Unrest took that realm apart and most of Spain returned to Islamic rule. Not too bad for me me, since I was able to carve my own piece out of the turmoil. Holy war is good when you are the attacker.

Ah, that hipster Basileus...

Yeah, I got the other big muslim blob becoming catholic but without my interference.

 

[TheDungen]

Ah, that hipster Basileus...

Isn't westerners converting to Buddhism more hippie than hipster?

 

[faiuwle]

The Basileus would be doing it WAY before it was cool, though, which is the definition of hipster.

True enough.

 

[WJS]

This is why becoming a giant pagan blob is my preferred strategy in these early games. It can usually survive against a Muslim blob and a Christian/Other blob.

(Although in my game Francia just absorbed both the HRE and Byzantium; I have to see if it will last or get turned into gavelkindling.)

 

[Slaughter]

lol that's weak

In a Zoroastrian/Nomad Yigbuild game, somehow the Ummayads became Zoroastrian.

Don't even ask me how that happened, because I do not know and had zero involvement with that part of the map - too busy raiding stuff.

I suspect somebody got converted by his Zoroastrian concunbine.

Non-tribal Muslims don't get concubines.

Yeah, you do. That would work fine.
