Hi! Question : The empire as low crown authority. And me, as a king, can't change my kingdom's crown authority. Although I see other kings around me, in the same empire, change their crown authority to absolute. In my kingdom laws panel, I don't see the option to change crown authority... There are only the six lines for levies and taxes.

Why can other kings change their authority and not me?

Are those other kingdoms not a de jure part of the empire? Because I believe that a kingdom that isn't part of the de jure empire (but is still a vassal of said empire) sets their own crown authority.

I'm currently the Duchy of Makuria trying to take the single Province of Hayya. I'd beaten their army and was about to lay seige when army from Abyssinia came up and beat my army. Hayya isn't a part of Abyssina, and from the Warscore screen hadn't officially joined, so I'm really not sure what happened.

On a second thought, if I were to swear fealty to Abyssina, I'd still keep all my vassels, correct? I've got my own 3 province Duchy plus 4 other counties.

Since I have last played CK2 they have changed the launcher by making it nonexistant. I have checked the content screen and it says the mod I downloaded is inactive and I cant figure out how to activate it. How do I activate it?

Sounds like Abyssinia declared war for a claim just like you did. Since you're competing for the same title you end up Hostile with them (shows up in orange on your diplomacy menu, as opposed to at war which has a red icon). Just like Harald Hardrade and William the Bastard in 1066: they're not at war but they are hostile with one another, since they both claim England.

Since I have last played CK2 they have changed the launcher by making it nonexistant. I have checked the content screen and it says the mod I downloaded is inactive and I cant figure out how to activate it. How do I activate it?

Are you on a Mac?

In any case, you can make the launcher reappear by opting in to the 2.1.5.6 beta. It's new and shiny!

So I was wondering how I would ligitimize a bastard son. I'm playing old king snake in the eye and my second son is the only male left as my eldest son died of depression that he had been struggling with since he was two and my wife is to old to bear any more children. As it stands now my kingdom will be split up between my many daughters and I have checked the decision list and its not there, I even made him a count and made him the norse version of a bannerman but alas it seems realm stability eludes me. The tool tip stated that it if I acknowlaged him as my son I could ligitimize him later but besides waiting to see if the game is nice what are my options? Oh I'm playing ironman so cheating is out of the question, any answers would be greatly appricated!

Celtland or Celtic Empire perhaps maybe down the road call it the United Celtic Kingdom grab the Welsh while your at it.

In game though I bellive it remains Britannia, it's a shame you can't rename kingdoms or empires... My dream of forming the Holy Poop Empire is sadly just that.:sad:

That's a bit to Romanised, I need something that is not Latin at all. And yeah there is a DLC that allows that.

Btw that's not sarcasm I just didn't bother to buy that dlc.
I didn't realize, which DLC?

The biggest problem with a truly Gaelic name for a Celtic Empire is that the concept of Empire is a Roman idea. The concept of a king is there but I could't find an emperor. How are you RPing this in your head and what would you call this Empire in English? Mind you I just found out that Ériu means fat or abundant and the Irish overkingdom of Dál Riata that was once in Scotland essentially meant Riata's share... Here's an idea Dál Ériu or vice versa.

I hope this helps.

I think you need to click on the black blood droplet next to the portrait. That should turn it red.



On a different note.

Would Shia join in on Sunni Holy Wars and visa versa?

What's going in here? I got him as a vassal in a de jure war against a revolt. He's an infidel, so I should be able to revoke his title - but the revoke button is grey...

I've only recently acquired RoI and SoA. Is there any benefit to the College of Cardinal mini-game? I guess the idea is to get one of your guys as the Pope, but I've no clue what advantage that provides and if I should invest.

What's going in here? I got him as a vassal in a de jure war against a revolt. He's an infidel, so I should be able to revoke his title - but the revoke button is grey...

This is a bug I've reported. He should not be your vassal - when the revolt ends he'll be your full-fledged vassal (you'll be able to revoke then) - but he should not be switching lieges like this.

So I've been looking at the Advanced Small Start Guide.

The main reason you kept the baronies in your capital is for your now-at-least-somewhat-useful marshal/steward to apply their magic. If you own a city, you get -75% to income. However, if you got a decent steward and he applies a +50% it's only -25%. If you have Trade Practices 2 then it's only -5%. With much higher income cities you will quickly notice your capital city outstripping any castle you have (including the capital with +50%).

I was not aware that Trade Practices increased Tax Revenue. Can someone confirm? I've been pretty much avoiding it, since I'm not running a Merchant Republic, but if it boost revenue, I'll have to start investing in it.
