CK2Plus Continuation - Balance improvements, more kingdoms and empires, more ambition

[CSAGeneral]

Use Nilla CoAs and fix the Holy War bug Sorry I keep beating this dead horse...also just fyi reformed pagans' AI holy war like no other. The game is more fun with more Holy Wars, in my opinion. Also you probably knew this but the no Catholic Holy War issue started when the version for SoA was released; it wasn't present before then.

Hey guys im trying to start playing the updated version of this mode with no success. I wrote earlier that when I loaded the mod there were no available characters. So I checked to make sure that I extracted the mod to the user/mydoc/paradox/ckii folder which I did. So after that didnt work I uninstalled the game and deleted all folders, only to find that after I downloaded the game off steam that I no longer had the user/mydoc/paradox/ckii to extract the mod to... So i copied the x86/steam/steamapps/common/ckii folder to a user/mydoc folder I created.. That didnt work either. so im hoping someone has and idea whats going on, I love this mod and really want to play. I can make a video to show my issues if that helps. Thanks, james

You are going to need to delete that folder you copied from the Steam folder and restart.

You only need two folders to exist, and they can be empty because the game will re-create the files that it needs.

/My Documents/Paradox Interactive/Crusader Kings II/
/My Documents/Paradox Interactive/Crusader Kings II/mod/

You can just right-click and create a new folder and name it as listed above. Once you've got those two folders created, copy the CK2Plus folder and CK2Plus.mod file into the /mod/ folder listed above. Then run CK2 and make sure the mod is checked in the launcher. It might take a bit for the game to re-create all the files it wants inside of the /Crusader Kings II/ folder.

Hey, so we are already in the process of re-doing the CoA's and I can't say too much about that since it's a different guy doing all the work there.

As for the Holy Wars, it's more complicated than it seems but we are paying attention. The SoA release introduced a bug where the AI was spamming decisions that cost it all of its Piety. That bug was in the base Vanilla stuff and it's going to be fixed when the new CK2 patch comes out next week. As you already have noticed, those broken decisions were for the Catholic rulers and it made it so they never had enough Piety to declare a Holy War.

We also have some Piety costs on the Holy Wars for the AI, that was intentional. Everyone is going to have a different "desired frequency" for how often the AI should be attacking, so it might still be too slow for you. Right now the Vanilla bug is preventing them from happening so maybe give it test after that's fixed and see what you think.

So I converted to zikri in ck2+ (called mutaziliite)... I managed to convert most of the sunni provinces and now I am the orthodox/parent religion. However, I am still not able to establish a religious head? Did i just waste 50+ hours?

Do you meet the requirement of establishing a caliphate? 1k piety etc..

I tried CK2+ with the better army module and all retinues became available for me, even the Aztec ones even though i never bought the Aztec DLC.

same here !!

 

[Miaow]

Are you playing with the Beta patch? It changes the way the retinue requirements are handled.

Yes I do... Whats wrong here? Can Mutaziliites not set up religious heads?

Correct, that's on being put on dev for next patch

 

[LordGloucester]

Thank you so much for this great mod it's just great!, I know I'm late to the show but it's amazing thank you

Since the next patch will break save game compat, I compiled a little hotfix for you so you can continue that game with the fix for that. Just extract into your mod folder and overwrite (make sure to back-up as I can't really test it or guarantee it will work)

Consider this a present

Just fired up CKII+ for the first time since the summer (before Sons of Abraham) and I noticed that the mod now shows country names in their respective language, not actually sure if this is intentional or a bug. Either way, is there a way to return the names to english?

The base titles submod, although it appears to cause crashes. The next version will have english as default and cultural titles in a submod.

Are you going to maintain Paradox's cultural titles from vanilla for the English default, unlike the base titles submod?

No. It's going to be all english or all localized. Half-baked is not the way to go when dealing with cultural localizations.

 

[Fulmen]

No. It's going to be all english or all localized. Half-baked is not the way to go when dealing with cultural localizations.

That's a pity, I liked the way it was before 2.05.0. Nonetheless, in my opinion all-English is better than the current all-localized approach.

Speaking of localization, the Finnish tribe names are still mostly grammatically incorrect. I'll make a post with the correct names when I get around to it.

Someone might release a "vanilla title localization [plus]" add-on.
