Monks and Mystics: Did they iron out the balance and content issues? When it first released I read a lot of reviews saying Satanist were OP and the other cults/secret societies were bland and not complete. Did they patch this? Thanks!

I know that this question has probably been asked before but I need to know
How do you roll back to a previous patch?

They've done some work or rebalancing satanists, but I don't play them so I don't know how successful it's been.
They've fixed some some Hermetic stuff (mostly ingredients) not doing anything.
They've changed how secret religions work, so all religions and heresies have secret religions now.
Benedictines vs Dominicans are still identical except for which stat they raise
Most religions still have copy-paste satanists as their only society.
So, Christians and Shiia are mostly in a good spot, but still need some polishing. Non-Shiia Muslims, Pagans, and Dharmic religions don't have much.
To elaborate on Gloweyes post...
old example:
no code required
I recommend to rename the CK2 folder inDocuments/Paradox interactive so that you get a new folder specifcally for this patch.
Start the game through the Library to get the DLCs registered in it again.
Satanists got hit with the nerf bat pretty good, but the jury is out on if it was hard enough, or too hard.
Right now the forum is on fire about secret cults going wild.
A vassal priest has an Item (Mjölnir) I want. How do I get it?
I thought about giving him a county outside my dejure territory and give him independency and raid his land until I get it. But isn't there a faster way?

There are a lot more small cultures in EU4 than CK2. This is because EU4's Mechanics with respect to cultural survival are so much better than CK2's.
In EU4, for example, a player often finds his empire has a vast array of different cultures inside his Empire. In CK2, it's simply a matter of time before they are assimilated.
This is a reasonable explanation. There are a couple others w.r.t. what it adds (or does not add) to the game, but we can reasonably boil them all down to one word: "gameplay"
There is this bug in 2.7.1 where a epidemic doesn't go away. I have this right now in my HIP game. Is there a consol command do make it disappear?
Conquest_Culture Flag for Pressed Courtier Claim
Does the conquest_culture get set for a war in which you press the claim of your vassal?
Does it depend on the culture of the vassal, i.e. the character who has the claim, or does it depend on the vassal's liege who actually pressed the claim?

Changing Culture of Holy Orders
How do you change the culture of holy orders? For example, how can I change the culture of the Teutonic order from German to Irish?
According to the quote below, there is a way to achieve holy order culture conversion.
In my current game, when I click on the Holy Order title of the Teutonic Order the map centers around the province Poznan, or Poznanskie. This province has a Polish culture. Yet, whenever the grandmaster of the Teutonic Order dies, the heir becomes German upon inheriting the Holy Order title.
I edited the save file to change the province culture of Poznan to Irish. Upon death of the grandmaster, the heir is still German.
Has anyone manage to change the culture of holy orders?
Thanks.
Holy Order Claimants
Is there a difference between open elective succession and open succession?
In my game, it says that Holy Orders use agnatic open succession.
Also, is it still possible to vassalize a holy order by inviting a courtier with a claim to the Holy Order to court, landing him, and then successfully pressing his claim?
In my current game, when I click on the title of a Holy Order in an attempt to view claimants, the claimants button is greyed out. Even when the grandmaster dies, the heir immediately becomes the new grandmaster and the claimants button is still greyed out. And I have never been able (in my current game) to invite the current heir of a Holy Order to court, since they have "found their calling."
The wiki states
- "A landed mercenary or holy order will produce claimants upon succession (since they use Open Elective succession, in which each vassal can vote; with multiple vassals there will be multiple votes cast and the second- and third-place candidates get claims). Inviting a claimant, landing him, and pressing his claim will make the company your vassal."
Thanks.
I'm pretty sure that article is out of date, and no, open elective and open are not the same form of succession. Open is a Muslim-only succession form where the highest-ranked son, or failing that, oldest son, inherits everything. Open elective is an AI-only form used in holy orders, mercenary units, landlocked republics, and non-Catholic theocracies where the courtier with the highest sum of age and prestige inherits everything, and failing that a new character is generated.
I don't think holy orders produce claimants anymore, but you can still vassalize them by diplomacy if you are an emperor of the same culture and religion as the sitting grandmaster. If you're not playing Ironman you can force the issue with console commands:
Code:
event <event ID of son or brother asking to join holy order in question, e.g. SoA.1031 for the Knights Templar> <character ID of desired son or brother>Then just assassinate grandmasters and heirs until your boy is next in line.
Hey so I have this weird problem where even though I christianized all the norse countries, on the rare occasion they still raid me. This is very odd because while with the norse culture they should be able to raid infidel neighbors for loot, we are both of Orthodox religion (I mended the schism).
The "infidel" part in the description of raiding is untrue. If you can raid you can raid anyone who isn't part of your realm regardless of whether they are your religion or not.
Then why does everyone say the way to stop the raiding is converting them? Also, why have raids significantly decreased?
Vikings get the ability to raid from two sources. Their Germanic Pagan religion and their Norse culture. The Norse culture eventually splits into Danish, Swedish, and Norwegian at which point the only thing that allows them to still raid is their religion. If you convert them and the culture has split the raids will stop. That's why it's advised to convert them, but it's actually only half of the story. The other half is waiting for the Norse culture to split up, which does tend to happen automatically, though there are a few ways to prevent it.
As for why the raids have already decreased significantly, it depends. If the Norse culture has already begun splitting and all the vikings are now Orthodox only the few that still retain Norse culture will still be able to raid. Though if the culture hasn't begun splitting yet I don't have a definite answer, only guesses.
