Anyone getting crazy amounts of crazy?

[Orinsul]

So, maybe this is a bug, or just my game going weird, so has anyone been noticing more lunatics than you might expect?
Seems about a quarter of the kings are, and more dukes and counts and unlands than sticks can be shaken at. Also the last four popes which is what set me wondering.
Anyone noticing anything like this?

My character got the cray cray due to being treated by his court physician while he was supposed to be unconcious under an operation but was awake during the whole thing while paralyzed (I picked the "experimental treatment" option for something).

(Somehow my character actually got rid of it though. I can't recall experiencing the event which remove insanity from before RIP, but it mentioned something about priests and voices and the responce was "IT'S TOO QUIET".)

 

[RoverGrover]

Yeah, loving the new features but imho both lunacy and dismemberment chances could stand to be slightly adjusted down. Many more years of this in my game and everybody is going to be insane one armed one legged loonies.

Edit: I'd like to add that it could always be weird rng too. I'm curious to see others experiences

Hm.. I haven't noticed dismemberment getting out of hand? Just craziness.
I'm only about 20 years in though so maybe the dismemberment is still coming?
But yes to the edit, the reason for the thread being here rather than bugs, is I'm not convinced it's not just bad luck and all the other symptoms seem to be happening the right amount.

I thought Lunatic was already too common, and I still feel that -5 vassal opinion is too generous for the time period, I think they previously increased it so players could experience the unique events more often but it affects even more A.I characters now. I'm not usually a fan of the player being an exception but in this case I would prefer fewer lunatic A.I rulers.

It's the end of the world. Of course people will lose their sanity and turn into endless madness.

I got Charlemagne somehow losing his title (literally warped to the Dude of Poitou, no message and no mention of usurpation in the history) within a year which caused Karloman to take it back over for the Karlings. This apparently drove him crazy and to cannibalism.

 

[Matthias_Wlkp]

I agree with the dismemberment being too frequent.

 

[KlinkerFyren]

There seems to be a lot of madness going around. Which I personally enjoy a lot right now.
In my new ironman (currently year 808, House Mojmírid Kingdom of Great Moravia) I have had one king get eaten by Cthulhu. Another lost an eye in a drunken fight, turned crazy and possessed, got the Great Pox, sacrifice an arm to his ancestors to cure in order to cure his pox (which worked), sired a healthy heir, weaved an intricate web of alliances with Slavic pagan tribals in order to strike at the Avars before finally getting poisoned by his brother who turned independent taking half the kingdom with him, without even seeing his dream of crushing the Avars come to fruition. That guy was avenged by his uncle who got the kingdom (tribal elective) and reclaimed the lost half of the realm. The avenging King Rostislav the First reigned for a record breaking 12 glorious years before dying in his sleep, only to be succeed by his leaper son who lasted for less than a year. My current king has recently bought the Necronomicon, which will go down well I am sure.

Also Charlemagne died of cancer at age 30, Karloman's son inherited the realm but King Pepin died of the Flu at age 14. Leaving the realm to King Grifo the Usurper king of Bavaria who also died of Cancer, the Frankish realm was split between his sons, before being reunited under his Grandson Teutbald who is currently successfully fending off a Iberian Muslim invasion.

Saxony turned Sunni and as a result a number of now ex-Slavic realms has embraced their faith via missionaries. Saxony constantly wages Jihads against the Frankish realm but so far have not been successful, so they spend their time raiding Frankish border counties.

Byzantium is doing well, they have actually managed to spread their Orthodox faith to the Kingdoms of Croatia-Serbia and Bulgaria without holy war resulting in peace in the Balkans.

Avaria is still Tengri but a number of Lords have converted to either Sunni or Orthodox, so its only a matter of time before they flip to either.

At this point Great Moravia is a third Orthodox, a third Slavic and a third Sunni. Ruled by a Slavic zealot squised in between a Slavic Polish kingdom to the North, a united Catholic Karling realm to the west, indecisive Avars to the south and Stronk Orthodox Byzantines and Croatian/Serbians to the south east.

So yeah lots of madness and death in this grimdark medieval past. I love it.

 

[serivahn]

Yeah, its completely out of control.
Playing as the duke of Barcelona, all my landed sons became lunatics...
I really hope this is not intended, its not fun.

 

[Rognvaldr19]

I haven't really noticed it too much, although the Vikings are all sporting missing limbs, but I just put that down to them being Vikings, as for the lunatic trait I have not seen it.

 

[Moarice]

I have personally seen more possessed characters than lunatics, but lunatics also became abnormally common.

 

[riadach]

There are worse traits than lunatic.

Sure sanity is subjective

 

[Knotz]

Cancer too, it's like the Reaper is Oprah and everybody gets a cancer.

 

[Hootieleece]

Yes, I am seeing more Lunatics and possessed characters. At Least one of each in every generation of my dynasty. But remember "possessed" also could also signify Epilepsy.

 

[deadhand13]

So many 8 year olds with cancer...

Meh. Should've used more bees.

 

[atraphoenix]

I like possessed one though I have never got yet in my dynasty. Is there a way to increase the chance to get that trait. I like to see them charging against the religious enemies.

 

[kuneus]

Yeah something like half the realms jarls are lunatics or possessed.

 

[Aries666]

After a few of these threads about diseases etc now being too prevalent I feel some people could really with extra lessons in statistics and negativity+confirmation biases.

 

[Knotz]

I have over twenty crazy kings and emperors and well over 50 crazy dukes (I stopped counting), but sure confirmation bias.
