Save file editing question:

I went to edit a save with notepad++ and the file was just code gibberish. I just got Rajas of India if that makes a difference. Thanks.
You have save compression on, there's a checkbox beside the filename in the save screen, untick that to turn it off. You can extract the save with 7zip and edit it like that or you can just save an uncompressed copy and edit that.

When you have the ambition to improve diplomacy, there is an event that says you are talking to yourself in a mirror. It used to give +1 diplomacy before RoI if I remember correctly. The response option was 'You talking to me?".

But now, this event pops up quite regularly but does nothing. Am I remembering incorrectly? Has this been changed or is it a bug?

Going by the event there should be a follow up event giving 2 diplo, unless you are incapable or in prison.
Follow up:

I tried something different to deal with the Arabian Empire : I put in place a ruler that I have invited to court and coverted to christianism, with the hopes that it would insta-created massive uprising in the said Empire, allowing me to Holy DOW rebels, or even usurp the Empire.

But one month after being put on the throne, the ruler was replaced by another one. He was not killed or anything. What happened ?

A while ago I had a problem when it came to fighting Abbasid. I was given some great advise about raising cataphract retinues. Doing so, I was able to use these troops to destroy the Abbasid main armies while my levies captured territory.

However, in the last three wars with Arab countries (two with Abbasid), my cataphracts have been completely destroyed in their first engagement with the opposing force (against numbers they had previously been able to succeed against: about 2-1 or 3-1 odds). Any advise on what I may be doing wrong? :S

Are the Abbasids using a lot of Camel Cavelry or Light Cavalry? They tend to pick better tactics vs cataphracts. If this is true, use defense retinues to kill the ones with the most CC/LC. Other than that fight on your own terms- use good commanders, use the terrain, etc.

Ah. I had not really paid attention to that. Seems I need to balance out my retinues, since I only have cataphracts. Cheers, I will give that shot :)

What do I need to conquer Rome? I´ve never tried it, but from time to time I see someone say there are some complications with it. Is it still true?

What do I need to reunite the Roman empire? Be Byzantine empire (can I have more empire titles if this one is primary?), have prestige and control needed duchies? Wiki doesn´t speak about being Byzantine empire, but it says Roman empire replaces Byzantine empire, so I assumed I have to be Byzantine empire. Thanks.

Yes, you have to be Byzantium to do the Roman restoration. You can have as many empire titles as you want.

To take Rome just fabricate claims on two of the counties in Latium or -if you're lucky - the duchy itself. Then take it from the pope -> Not all that hard to do. You should start with fabricating on the counties that are not Rome to avoid the pope bribing your chancellor.
If you are starting in 867 the quickest way to get all the needed lands in Italy is to press a claim on Italy. 10-15 years after game start many people will gain a claim on Italy. Secure on of them (before he/she even gets the claim), maybe marry them into your family and then press the claim > almost done.

Are you sure he didn't change the laws to elective in the interim? Or give up to a faction right before he died?

I'm assuming the obvious question of whether he's actually a bastard masquerading as your son has already been answered...

There was no faction involved as far as I'm aware.
I had him tagged as an important character, so I think I'd have been informed.
Would a faction even have been possible? She was of a different dynasty and had no claim.....so I doubt it.

Anyhow that would've been the mother of all coincidences.

The law change I can positively rule out, as the realm was and still is under gavelkind succession.

Edit: Oh and no, he wasn't a bastard.

Why are some of my bishops paying their taxes to the Kaiser of the Holy Roman Empire? I understand that if they like the Pope more than me, they will send their taxes to him. But why are they sending them to the HRE?

Probably because either the Pope is the Kaiser's vassal or the Kaiser has an Antipope that your bishops are loyal to. In both cases they'd be paying the Kaiser since they're loyal to one of his vassals.

I'd like to move the capital of my country from Krakow to Kiev, which has a lower technology level but 6 slots. How do I help Kiev getting at the same level in tech fast?

Keep your old capital, build universities in your cities in Kiev and place your councillors to study tech there.
You coould also get rid off lower tech level counties, so that demesne bonus is higher, as long as it's lower than 30.

Keep your old capital, build universities in your cities in Kiev and place your councillors to study tech there.
You coould also get rid off lower tech level counties, so that demesne bonus is higher, as long as it's lower than 30.
Also, each ruler can move the capital once per lifetime, but gets a free capital move to the de jure capital of your primary title if you own it. If your de jure title is Poland, you can save up tech points, move capital to Kiev, spend them, move capital back to Krakow. Repeat once per generation until you are ready to move for good.

edit - (Assuming Krakow is the de jure capital of Poland...)
