Not really sure which thread to ask, but I'm having problems getting stuff from the steam workshop, none of it shows up when I launch the game, just the mods and other stuff I've downloaded manually. What to do? :/

Since we have now this law slider for women rights, what happens when I convert to Messalian ? Does the women then have the most rights automatically or do I still have to reform the law manually ?

If you look at the actions you would take (like changing succession law), you will see that there are exceptions for some built in (e.g. Basque, Cathar, Messalian). Hover over the actions to see, but I think Messalian is generally exempt.

It's not based off a specific tech level but how your compare to the overall average tech level in the game. That way converting an early game doesn't prevent everyone from being western.

An exception are the Aztec and Inca - If you have Sunset Invasion enabled, they will always be High American.

That is odd. I seem to be far ahead of everyone else. My spymaster can't even go anywhere to steal tech. when I convert I still get eastern tech. ... I am at 1356 and plan to play CKII up to 1444 then convert. Hopefully by then when I convert all have the western tech group. Could it have anything to do with how far west I conquer?

How far along through the tech branches do I have to get with the roman empire before I get western tech tree in EU4 when using the converter?

Since 1.18 with the introduction of institutions technology groups no longer change cost of tech and thus there is no longer any need for tech groups to be all over the place.

As Roman Empire I would assume you would classified as Eastern(or Anatolian I suppose) so that you get a decent map vision and don't quickly spread it to countries which it doesn't fit as well.

Stockholm has been the capital of Sweden pretty much since it was founded, and it's in Uppland, and Sweden was the biggest power in Scandinavia for most of its independent existence.

Zealand would probably make more sense as a location for the capital since that's where the capital was during the period where the "Empire of Scandinavia" was a real thing (Kalmar Union). But the de-jure capital of a realm which never de-jure existed in real history is going to be kind of an arbitrary choice anyway.

Does ai ruler ever execute you? I tried really hard just to see if it could happen to piss off my liege even rebelling and surrendering. He often is at -100 opinion but I never get executed. With reapers due a particularly sadistic liege will instead mutilate me. Do they actually ever imprison and or execute players?

They can, but nothing beyond being a prisoner and them being able to execute you tyranny-free would affect your chances. While the regular execute decision seems to be hard-coded, the "execute_eat" option for cannibals just has a flat chance of being used by the ai, so I expect regular executions would be the same

What about imprisonment ? does this ever happen? beside the case of an ai rebelling i mean.
Yes. In fact I read a complaint from one guy recently who couldn't figure out why his player character kept randomly revolting against his liege (his liege was trying to imprison him and failing miserably).

Hey guys, I have a question. I usually don't play with Catholic characters because getting claims is difficult and takes too long. I understand that if I marry my daughter off to someone with a claim, I will be able to push their children's claim. Besides using the "fabricate claim" mission for my chancellor, is there any other common ways of getting claims as a catholic character?

Thank you

Doesn't have to be your daughter. Any relative will do. And remember to marry the women off matrilineally, so the children are of your dynasty. You can also marry your sons to princesses. The marriage partner doesn't have to have a claim at the time of the marriage. Claims are generated on the death of the parents, depending on succession laws.

Your vassals will often accumulate a good amount of weak claims just by themselves. But you have no control over that and often it's territory you don't want.

You can also invite claimants and land them, but getting land for them is usually a very big issue unless for example you holy war for a duchy and have lots of land to distribute.

The easiest way is usually to find someone else with a claim of a lower rank than you, invite them to your court, land them, then press their claim.
Also, you can find someone who is going to inherit a title, then give them a higher ranking title so they stay your vassal when you inherit.

Doesn't have to be your daughter. Any relative will do. And remember to marry the women off matrilineally, so the children are of your dynasty. You can also marry your sons to princesses. The marriage partner doesn't have to have a claim at the time of the marriage. Claims are generated on the death of the parents, depending on succession laws.

Your vassals will often accumulate a good amount of weak claims just by themselves. But you have no control over that and often it's territory you don't want.

You can also invite claimants and land them, but getting land for them is usually a very big issue unless for example you holy war for a duchy and have lots of land to distribute.

Thank you for the response. I've tried inviting people to my court and landing them and while I can push their claims, I can only give them the lands of their claim and often times, I don't retain control over them.

Right - when you push someone's claim it goes to them, but as long as they are still your vassal, the land will be added to your realm.

If they are becoming independent after you push their claim, that means you were pushing a claim the same rank as you have. For example, if you're a duke, and you push someone else's claim on a duchy, they will become independent since a duke can't have another duke as a vassal.
(And just in case, don't forget that Petty Kings count as dukes)
