Quick question: I'm about 300 years into an Ironman game and just realized I forgot to disable SI when the 'Strangers From Beyond The Sea' message popped up. If I disable SI now will that ruin my savegame in any way?

Probably not no.
Unchecking/disabling the Dlc should exactly do that and you should be fine.
As the following events should still be iimted to having the DLC activated.

Well that's what i would assume in my currently slightly drunken state.., but you might already know that four hours later.

So does anyone know why my council was voting against my war to repay favours to 2 people not on the council?

I managed to get my war after swapping out half my council but would still like to know why they were blocking it.

I think you're confusing your inheritance law with elective gavelkind, or elective monarchy.


Does anybody knows how to change the message settings to get the event that gave this county the Marauding pirates event?

Is there anything I could do about it?

He isn't, Indian religions get an option to choose heir from among the children of the ruler.

Hello,

I got quick question - playing as independent liege with conclave.

How to vote on law changes initiated by my vassals? It seems for some reason game automatically assumes I am against, were this is not always true.
Is that some configuration change? Console setting? anything?

My retinue keeps bleeding huge reinforcement money, yet it doesn't reinforce further? What could be the reason? Bug, or do I have to have a positive money balance? The thing is I'm paying for it (not just maintenance) so money shouldn't be a factor.

Stop reinforcing.
Wait for your income to change (normally when the month changes)
Start paying for full reinforcement.

That generally works for me

Is there a setting that can be enabled to make money you inherit show up in the log, like if it's from a random courtier? (I recently inherited 00 from some courtier, and was playing on fast mode without paying attention to log or my money, some time passed and I'm left wondering where I suddenly got all the money from. Since I had 50+ people in my court took a while to pinpoint where it originated.)

That's strange. It might be a bug. Could you choose your heir previously?

As far as I remember, yes, I could. I did post this situation with the save file also as a bug in the appropriate forum.

You should be able to disband the mercenaries by going to the leader of the band right clicking and selecting the disband option.

If you disband the mercenary company, is there something preventing you from hoarding up all the money the mercenary captain had accumulated, if you manage to get him to your court and he has no other heirs? Sounds cheesy if you can do that (but maybe they fixed it in 2.5.2?).

Only had the game a few days so started with the tutorial, King of Leon. Had some great fun, made some n00b mistakes (like leading troops myself, doh), granting a county to my son who was married to a woman about to inherit a duchy in the HRE so that when he died before me my grandson became a German Duke, taking my county with him, etc, etc.
Slowly learning!
Made it to Emperor of Hispania. Had to reconquor the kingdom of Castile on the way because although I was king of both Leon and Castile early when I died my sons split the kingdoms and since they were the same rank Castile got independence. Yay for a close up experience of Gavelkind in action!

Between these forums and the wiki there's so much help out there, what an amazing community. Anywhooo, a few quick questions -

1. I read that it made sense to develop new holdings in your capital county. So I added one or two baronies. When I died I lost them. I assume this is also due to Gavelkind? It applies all the way down the line to holdings?
2. If so, how can I get and maintain a decent size demesne if I lose most things except the primary empire, kingdom, duchy, county? Do I have to revoke everything every time I die?
3. One of the kingdoms I lost to Gavelkind was the Kingdom of Andalusia. Omg. That's about half my empire. He's still my vassal, but dear Lord is he strong. I imagine that any sort of revokation is going to cause a civil war (that I'll probably lose!) Anything I can do to get him under control? He's factioning like a maniac.
4. Is there a way to generate new characters? I launched a Holy War for Marrakech, ended up getting about 27 holdings. Looking in my court and even under the "character finder" I couldn't find enough people of my religion and culture groups to give them all out! Surely there should be some unknown chap in Gibraltar who fancies a bit of land to call his own?

Many thanks for any help...
