Your reputation is to bad, you probably did a lot of bad things, like 'claiming titles' and conquering provinces. Your vassals don't like that and start to revolt.

Hover your mouse over the loyalty-rating of your vassals, it will give a break-down of what is effecting their loyalty.

1) you can excommunicate people, depending on the prestige of the Pope. An excommunicated person can't inherit and the grab-cost of his titles are just about 10% of what they normally are
2) You can revoke excommunication
3) You get events which lets you start or end Crusades
4) You get events that give you either a lot of money or piety (Papal Indulgences)

Being PC makes you very powerfull

Excuses, if the question was already asked, but how are the chances for successful assassination counted? Does anyone know a formulae?.. Based on Intrigue, I think, but never knew, how exactly...

Nobody knows the exact formula, but it is always better to have higher intrigue then your target. And if you want to be 'gamey' then do as follows

1. Pause the game
2. Try first to assasinate the targets spymaster
3. Then try to assasinate your target
4. Unpause

Hey, explain to me the logic behind calling that gamey again? I mean, I figure it would make good sense to take out the person responsible for protecting the court from assassinations before proceeding with your plan. Unless you're referring to the whole pausing element...

It is just my 'personal opinion' that it is gamey (pausing and killing the spy-master) and something that I don't do/ But that doesn't of course mean it is gamey for everybody.

I want to play a grand campaign CK-EUIII-Victoria-HOI2. Can you tell me if it is possible, and what are the stuffs I need to convert the saves?

You need the following things

A CK to EUIII converter but you can also try this one


Then you need a EUIII to Victoria Revolutions Converter

And then you can use the built-in converter in Revolutions to convert to HoI2

I have no idea if and how all these converters work, so I can't help you with that.

To answer that: they do, but poorly. Some countries simply can't make the jump... at all. If you're playing as a minor in particular (or as something that started as a minor, anyway, even if you're now a globe-striding monstrosity), you'll usually be converted to whoever controls your dominant culture. Or whatever happens to be closest. Anyway, point is, if you do the whole convert through thing, the world will make very little sense and be more or less unrecognizable by the end of things, and the AI will be completely brain dead.

This comes from personal experience (I played as Ireland all the way through each of the conversions), and is unfortunate, but... hey, that's a LOT of time to cover. Still might be worth it, too.

1. I agree
2. I can't get this to work - I think it's a bug.
3. Really? That's cool, but I've been PC at the beginning of a couple of crusades and I was never asked. I've never seen an event inviting me to end one either...
4. The money does come in handy!
