Crusader Kings II ~ Quick Answers

[Lord Finnish]

I had to accrue some tyranny to keep my realm intact. However, while most of my subjects hit -100 immediately, my character's husband who has two counties did not. He is my character's lover and the father of her children (incl. heir). Does this prevent him from getting tyranny malus? If yes, I might as well banish the remaining counts of the realm given that the happy husband's demesne is enough to keep me on the throne.

It is more likely that the positive modifiers for lover, etc. are enough to keep the tyranny malus from driving him into deep hatred immediately. Mouse over his relations with you and a pop-up with all the modifiers will show you his current status.

(If) When and how do the event troops for the Mongol Empire bookmark disappear?

They disappear when someone kills them. They'll never reinforce though...

Yeah, this is almost certainly the case. The "Lover" bonus alone is quite substantial.

No, he seriously had no Tyranny penalty. While other vassals had Tyrant -150, he had no such malus. I actually did go and banish my other vassals in lack of immediate response to my question and indeed, he got no tyranny while everyone else did.

I guess it was changed by Paradox at some point, and it makes sense. Lover to the queen and father of the heir to the throne, he too would be glad to see any competition eliminated.

Yah, it makes sense to me as well that he considers what's yours to be his as well, and that you two are one united team.

Do 2.1.4 patch is compatible with converter from Crusader Kings II into Europa Universalis IV? I dont want later stuck in situation that I cant continue my gameplay.

You can try out surely, and even if 2.1.4 would hypothetically be not compatible, a later patch surely will.

I always use slowest game mode, so I want to be sure if this time will be not wasted. My PC is to slow for fastest mode.

I guess what Lord Finnish is saying is that (and this is particularly true if you're playing in the slowest speed) more patches will come before you finish. Your save will be compatible with them (as is USUALLY the case) unless you experience some bug that persists across saves (like the previous +50% revolt risk bug) in the mean time. As a result, even if the converter has problems right now, they'll be ironed out, likely before you finish your game. And if not, you can finish it and then wait for the converter's kinks to work out.

The converter does work in 2.1.4, by the way, though there were some known issues that I have not heard any news of resolution (the big one being certain cultures on the east side of the map still converting as noculture).

Thanks, I just dont bought yet Europa Universalis IV. So I want to prepare save to start from it.

It would be kind of strange since they have stuff like your primary heir getting "outraged by succession law change" when you switch to primo...

Yeah...

That never made sense to me. If anything, your oldest son should be pleased-really *PLEASED*-if you change your Succession Law to Primo...

Everyone else, of course, would hate your guts, but surely not the eldest son...

 

[Tom013]

Which always seemed like it must be a bug to me. I mean, there is an opinion modifier of +25 reserved for positive reactions to succession law changes, and the eldest son seems like the ideal candidate for that boon in the case of change to primo. On top of that, the only marginally effected folks have just a -20 penalty, so what makes the eldest son so mad that he gets the -50 outraged?

1) Can I form Roman empire if I become Greek monarch controlling Byzantium empire? Can I do it with republic? (I mean c´mon, Roman republic!)

2) When I build special troops buildings (Druzhina training ground etc.) there is bonus with that. Does this bonus affect all units of that type in my realm, or only my retinue/levy? Or does it only effect units from the province with the building? How does it stack? Thank you.

If you look at the requirements for the restore_roman_empire decision, there's nothing in there that says anything about having to be Greek, feudal, or republic.

		potential = {
			has_dlc = "Legacy of Rome"
			age = 16
			prisoner = no
			NOT = { trait = incapable }
			NOT = { has_global_flag = rome_restored }
			has_landed_title = e_byzantium
			religion_group = christian
		}
		allow = {
			prestige = 3000
			completely_controls = d_latium
			completely_controls = d_venice
			completely_controls = d_ferrara
			completely_controls = d_sicily
			completely_controls = d_genoa
			completely_controls = d_capua
			completely_controls = d_apulia
			completely_controls = d_thrace
			completely_controls = d_antioch
			completely_controls = d_jerusalem
			completely_controls = d_alexandria
			completely_controls = d_athens
			completely_controls = d_tunis
			completely_controls = d_croatia
		}

The latter. The bonus shown for cultural levy buildings ONLY applies to the cultural levies from that castle; it does not even affect the OTHER generic levies from the same castle. The global bonus you referred to only comes from Technology. The Technology bonus stacks with cultural levy bonus OR cultural retinue bonus. And just FYI: cultural levy units have NOTHING to do with cultural retinue units, even though they share the same name. Cultural retinue units always start out with "full" stats bonus, while cultural levies from the buildings get the stat bonus incrementally.

When did they massively nerf the ruler designer? 37 points for zealous? WTF... And Content is now +9 instead of negative 16. This appears to have happened with almost all the traits.

 

[PrinceCola]

I have a question i hope you can answer

Can i choose the looks of my units? If i have 60% archers and 40% elephants, for example, can i choose the unit to be an elephant? I feel like i never get to see the units i have less of.

The recent patches have (2.1.2+) have been making big (and little) changes to ruler designer to re-balance it. It does seem a little out-of-balance now... but yeah... the big changes started with 2.1.2

No, not really. You shouldn't need majority elephants to see the elephant sprite though.

As Serene Doge of Venice in 967, I'm asking male courtiers to take vows in order to free up space in my court. Some of them remain and become monks, while others leave and join holy orders. Anyone know the criteria for which option happens to which courtier? Can't seem to find a pattern here.
