"Bella Gerant Alii" - A Balance Improvement Mod for CK II

[Vanchelon]

Thanks, sorting it myself for now

I haven't played enough vanilla to see if this seems to happen there too, but this is the second game in a row that Bohemia has gotten a claim on Poland which results in the entire HRE coming onto Poland. Any I idea how this happens?

What are the new Kingdoms and Empires? Pictures would be nice.

You can check it ingame if you have the mod. Click "de jure empires" in the map legend in the lower right.
Other then that, off the top of my head:
Russia
Francia
Iberia
Persia
Scandinavia

Needs more mercenaries for Muslims and Pagans.

Wow really? I thought for sure you must have changed it because, when i played 1.6 it seemed the lifespans were no different from vanilla. But now in 2.0, like i said, I have only had 1 ruler live past 40, and I have seen AI dukes and counts dying in their 20s. Weird, maybe they are assassinations that I did not discover. Anyway, I love the changes that you made, and appreciate you sharing your mod with us. Thanks Gaga.

Hm, maybe I should add a small gold requirement for kill plots?

And:
Yes, crusades are terrible, but I doubt that there is anything I can do. Well, at least with the more limited holy war CB, the AI seems a bit more keen to dogpile the target. :>

Would it be at all possible to do as the first game and have an event that turns over provinces to the Kingdom of Jerusalem? The problem isn't so much the Crusades themselves, but rather whoever wins gives to a powerful duke back home, so there is no chance of breaking free (unless they have Gavelkind I suppose.)

 

[Arcvalons]

I can't start the game without the gfx folder.

weird, should be work fine.
Maybe you accidentally delate gfx folder from main game folder not from documents\Paradox Interactive\Crusader Kings II ?

I'm thinking the crusaders in Jerusalem should first appear not as the armies of European states, but as a horde ala the mongols, who spawn and try to take over the Levant. The first crusade was a mass migration, after all, and a lot of the European nobles who participated sold their lands to do so, so they shouldn't be ruling both.

(Needless to say, however, this only applies to the first crusade. The rest should probably be regular wars.)

I know it's a minor thing but could I ask if the Odin's Chosen mercs could be renamed to the Jomsvikings?

Other than that, I love the work you've put into the mod so far.

Yeah, it was that. Now though, my rulers are dying around twenty years old, leaving me with skixteen years of regency every single time; is that intentional?

 

[Drakken]

Playing a few decades as Denmark, it's really too easy to hoard counties for yourself when you are a King, especially in small Kingdoms. In the first centuries, having vassals should be a priority, and vassals should get unruly to get land for their service.

I would cut it in half, so that really good rulers can handle 3 counties in their demesne up to Medium Crown Authority, and there should be a lot more pressure to create new vassals later on.

 

[GAGA Extrem]

It`s event 80100 in rebel_events.txt. It has mtth 5 years but if province has different religion group, it becomes about 1 month.

Thanks, will receive a fix tomorrow.

Something is wrong with the mod - all the accented characters (like in "évreux") disappear whenever I load it (v 2.0b).

EDIT: Oh and weird characters appear next to the decision choices - like: ??>>Click on this or that<<??

Screens please.

Found it - the modded copy of text1.csv I put under your localization folder had a problem.

Just found out that my Legitimized Bastards will have a -50 penalty on you... for being Legimitized Bastards.

You'd think that the ungrateful brats would be glad that I recognize them as my own, don't you think.

 

[brown111]

Why every person who is cleric is from Brusastaad dynasty?
I have not ever heard about it. The monucultural dynasty Brusastaad (all european cultures, from Portugal to Mongol) has 650 living person in my game...
Game takes only 30 years.

Is it possible to link it to crown authority? This is an excellent suggestion, but I'm not certain it's doable. The only trace of modding the demesne size is in "defines.lua", or am I mistaken?
