Crusader Kings II ~ Quick Answers

[SovereignGrave]

ok... and whats better? Multiple Kingdoms on one character or destroying the titles?

Depends on your preference. More Kingdoms means more prestige and can be nice for RPing purposes (King of Galicia and Léon sounds more impressive than King of Galicia); on the other hand it carries an opinion penalty with the de jure vassals of the title you destroy and if you hold more than one title it's possible to end up losing one. But if you're going for an Empire you need at least 2 titles, so if you want Hispania you should keep it.

So I have another question - Sometimes when I give out duchies.. It would show it being larger than it is suppose to be. Now I am going to assume its a bug but is it a common bug or maybe it just happens randomly ?. That sometimes it shows a duchy being bigger than it suppose to be and when you hand it to someone it goes back to a normal size. I know its not a place to report bugs but i was just wondering if it was common or not lol

What do you mean 'bigger than it's supposed to be'? You mean the person you're giving it to has more than just the de jure duchy? Well, are you giving the Duchy to someone who already holds counties outside the de jure duchy? Because giving them the duchy wouldn't remove those counties from their control.

My first post, yay! Why can't I marry? Is this because I'm betrothed?

Also, there was a guide on how to remove dead people from the save file but I forgot to bookmark it. Does anyone have it?

Yes. You first have to break the betroth to marry another woman.

And aren't the most dead people already removed in save files?

I will have to check, But I do know that I revoked this guy land because he was a traitor and I decided to give it to some count. Well checking how big the duchy was and then seeing that it was showing it larger than it was suppose to be. The count has only one piece of land in the duchy ( as I rather them fight for control then have it all ). And it was showing the duchy being larger than normal. Again maybe you have a point and the count had more land outside of it. I will have to check next time I reshuffle my dukes

The pope loves me but when I ask him for money he says No and when I check its because of base reluctance. Although he was positive 75 with me. Eh that is a unrelated question but still good to ask. As well as I am going to assume it dont matter if your bishop became pope.. He will always be Italian ?. Even though some bishops came from Germany and not italy.

Do you have "du jure" checked? That will show big the duchy is "supposed" to be, not it actual size.

Well maybe that's normal. I mean, I can't imagine the Pope giving you money just because he likes you. As for the second part, the answer is no. The Pope keeps the same culture they had prior to becoming Pope, but Italians get a boost and are more likely to become Pope due to Rome being Italian. If Rome is taken and the Papacy moves elsewhere, the culture in their new capital gets that bonus instead if I remember correctly. But it's not impossible for a non-Italian to become Pope; in one of my game Cumania converted to Catholicism and there was a Cuman pope.

Only when without title and no dynsty member with title and unmarried.
The dead can be quite important for inheritance and all that jazz. Also (nice) for history files in general.

I experienced a strange situation and I'm wondering if there's an explanation for it. The rulers I'm playing have a number of kingdom holdings that are all set to Agnatic-Cognatic Seniority succession. So basically these seven kingdoms have been passing as a group from one family member to another (they're also part of an elective empire but trying to hold and maintain that title is whole different story). The last ruler that I took over was in a regular marriage but for some reason all of the children of the marriage were part of the wife's dynasty. (I could've sworn that it was a matrilineal marriage when he was alive but now that I'm reviewing after his death it says regular marriage. Matrilineal would explain the children's names but it's not really relevant to what the problem is.) Upon his death, 6 of the 7 kingdoms passed to the next senior member of the dynasty as expected. However, for some strange reason, one of them went to the dead king's oldest son, who is of his mother's dynasty. I have no idea why that kingdom would suddenly defect.

(Oh, not to mention that most of the dead king's 10 duchies also went to this son, really screwing up my dynasty.)

Is there any way to have children without the ability to marry or having any fertility? (Of course I'm referring to that lonely eunuch duke of Galilee, would like to try playing as him as he's in an interesting position - but rather not game over for such silly reasons )

Aside from using the pollinate console command? Nope.

Does an anti-pope have his own college of cardinals? Who becomes anti-pope when he dies. Assuming here that the Papacy claim is not pushed.

Why is Rajas of India only on steam? I'm now downloading a second copy of Crusader Kings base game to the same computer to play this expansion and wondering why you chose to deviate from the exceptionally convenient and sensible old model via the ingame store and gamersgate?

 

[es333]

1. How can I disable DLCs, like the Aztec invasion one? Before the newer patches, there was a window before I launched the game where I could do that, now there is no window. I cannot do it in-game nor in Steam.

2. The new patches, have they disabled pagan-on-pagan looting? Like Suomenusko raiding Avars and the Norse? It just didn't work in my game as Bjarma.

 

[SBolshevik]

Those two can be done in the the beta patch, however the beta patch is generally slower for people due to Rajas of India optimisations AFAIK.
You might be able to remove the Sunset Invasion DLC in 2.1.4 by removing or just cutting out the dlc018.zip and dlc018.dlc files.

Because its was not profitable. The userbase of GG players was under 5%. It took too much time to make sure the GG version worked. Thats the basic reason its easier to them to make one version and they can then use their time to develop the game and not fix second version of the game that is not even profitable.

1. There should still be the window. If you have the beta patches it looks different, but it's still there.

2. It's a known bug.

In case Novare_Res was unaware: All Gamersgate purchasers now have a Steam key available. There's a stickied post on the first page that tells you how to get there (and also further explains what Wezqu said). Additionally, it's not just RoI that's not on Gamersgate. No patch past 2.0.2 is available for that version (that includes two relatively minor patches and of course the free patch that came along with RoI)

I guess it's possible that if you were able to get him married to a lustful woman and then have a lustful man in your court, there's a chance that they could procreate... and in some cases, perhaps the child could be mistaken for yours (in reality, it doesn't make sense for a eunuch to make that mistake, but I'm not sure the in-game event checks that -- maybe someone else knows?)

Per #2, it's fixed in the open betas, yes? It was supposedly fixed as of open beta 2.1.5.2 (which was a couple iterations ago).

Can't seem to even have a fake marriage with a debutante though, I'm afraid. Poor house Kantakouzenos is doomed.
