Crusader Kings II ~ Quick Answers

So why was the rotate camera removed from the game before release? It would be an awesome feature and it seems like they had already done the work

I think they had problems with the controls, though performance could also make sense, but either way i don't recall any defintive statement on this.

1) "tortured artist" is added on by destined_diplomat

            destined_diplomat = {
                add_character_modifier = {
                    name = horoscope_outcome_artist
                    years = 15

2) "anxious to please" is added by destined steward

            destined_steward = {
                add_character_modifier = {
                    name = horoscope_outcome_jittery
                    years = 15

Interesting, thanks. I always endorse whatever the horoscopes say, wonder if this is an outcome if you/the child rejects it.

A Raid Question:
I created a raiding army. Put them in looter stance. Set them off to a neighboring county eager for some plunder.

Then nothing happened. I tried a bunch more counties. Phbbt.

I'm not independent, but I'm not raiding a vassal or my liege, which Wiki says are the only restrictions.

What am I missing?

Did you lose a raiding battle against the target in the last 3 years? If that's the case, you're blocked by "gameplay" from being able to raid that target.

Nope. Never raided anybody before. I did have a regular war with a couple of them that got ended because somebody died and everybody got over it. But one of them was just my brother who got one of my titles under Gavelkind (same liege, etc).

What happened to an army when they're destroyed in an island? I'm playing Venice and when an enemy invaded and they were beaten, there's usually a lot of survivor still. Do they go back to the enemies levies, or they're completely gone?

If there's nowhere to retreat to (like in the case of Venice) they get stack wiped.

Retinues, Event Troops, and mercenaries are completely gone. Levy troops are re-added to their home holdings. This can make fighting someone for a small island very frustrating. At the same time, the AI will typically not land troops if you have a stack sitting there.

Can your liege raid ?
I think that's another requirement.

I've got one that's throwing me off a little:
I'm trying to do the "Got Land?" achievement, starting in the viking age bookmark.
As far as I understand, norse rulers get lvl. 2 ship tech as well as a shipbuilder in their capitol tribe once the viking age fires.
First try was quite alright, lots of overseas raiding to be done from day #1. Then my only son died after I turned 60, whelp.
Second, third and fourth tries I start with no shipbuilding capabilities, which is super no bueno.

So - does a county's holdings start with randomized buildings, or is there something funky going on?

Did you start with the same character and where exactly ?

 

[sussebass]

Did you start with the same character and where exactly ?

Yes, same character and starting age, no ruler designer.
In Gotland, as per achievement specification.

 

[Aardvark Bellay]

No, it's not randomized, as far as i recall.
Hmm....apart from mods messing up, sorry no real idea.
Though....remember that the shipbuilding will be top in the list without a hillfort and village.
Messing around with the custom date options going back and forth caused memory issues in the past..
If in doubt, quit and restart the game.

 

[Rockphed]

There is a random element to what buildings are built based on tech level, but I don't know if it is used for shipbuilders in tribe.

Is there currently a way to destroy a trade post of a different family of your own republic? Plot, war, anything. A mod or a console command would do too.

Why do you want to? They can't use it to press a claim on your lands. The only reason to do so would be if you want a trade post there instead. If you engage in a campaign of murder on the offending house, you typically have a 1 in 5 chance to get the trade post you want.

How likely is it for a child to be inbred in brother-sister or parent-child marriages?

I've had this issue with Gotland before and it seems to be an issue with loading history. The advice I got which seems to work was: pick 769 first and then switch to 867 in the list of bookmarks.

At what time does Holy Fury release? Interested in CET. Thanks.

Should be around 15:00 CET. Same with the other Paradox DLCs

 

[KaRappa]

In randomized world if I have full random religions (so there's supposed to be equivalents of Aztec etc) does that mean I can for example get a Hellenic equivalent faith somewhere in the world and reform it with it's unique reformation trait even if it's been renamed to something else? And if so how the heck do I know if it's the Hellenic equivalent before hand.

So Tuesday at 15:00 CET? Super weird if I have any word for it. What timezone do they use if I may ask?

Edit: the only place in the world that would be 00:00 when CET is 15:00 would be on the International Date Line, but wouldn't that mean that the game should release at 15:00 of the Monday then? Since that's when it's 00:00 on New Zealand/Marshall Islands... this is confusing.
