Crusader Kings II: Rajas of India - Patchnotes and Ask us anything! [2.1.1 CFYM]

[Groogy]

One quickie that seems to have been missed a couple of times - have Tengri sacred sites been spread out? I can't say my sample size is huge but reformed Tengri blobs seem a common occurrence.

No this haven't been changed.

 

[Groogy]

1. With the new patch, is the Miaphysites and the now non-heretical Nestorians still under the Pentarchy system or is there a new system for them (i.e. Petrine Sees)?

They use the Pentarchy system

2. If still the same, is it possible to change this via modding or is the Pentarchy hard-coded?

Depends on what you want to mod, but most probably yes.

3. Do AIs still make a ridiculous amounts of king-tier titles only to destroy them later when their vassals get all pissy at them?

This patch has seen a lot of love to the AI, it might have been fixed but I don't want to promise anything.

4. Can Poland into space?

Definitely not.

5. What is the meaning of life?

To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women.
Oh wait you didn't ask what is best in life.

 

[Groogy]

Do spouses count as "normal courtiers" (the unlanded ones, I mean)? Furthermore, does it count for similarly unlanded family members?

Yes

 

[Groogy]

Oh, good morning Groogy! Any changes or additions to christian heresies mechanic-/feature-wise?

Morning!
No I am afraid, do you know what we added to this patch? Do you not see the size of it?

 

[Alexivan]

Regarding North Korea mode :

If I'm not mistaken, it was never clearly stated what it did before the patch when you were above you demesne limit. Can you tell us? (or point us to where it has been said already?)

And now, after the patch, it's supposed to be "far worse", but what are the effects exactly? We heard about levy/tax maluses, but to what extent? I'd like specifics ^^'

Thank you!

It used to apply a percentage malus of the income you made from your demesne, this however could be worked around and wasn't a big enough problem. It could be worked around by having rich vassals which could be your primary source of income as the malus wasn't applied to vassal tax and holding a lot of land directly ment you were still a large military power, these exploits have now been fixed by reducing the vassal tax aswell and reducing the amount of levies.

 

[Alexivan]

Now that you have a dynamic title system, are there any plans to expand it to enable dynamic creation of higher tier versions of existing titles? For example, the creation of the Kingdom of Somerset if you hold the Duchy of Somerset.

We've always had a dynamic title system.

 

[Alexivan]

What do you mean by vassal tax? If my liege lord is over demesne limit, does it hurt my income, or does it reduce the tax I have to give him?

It reduces the amount of tax you pay him.

 

[Groogy]

- Have you added any new playable Zoroastrian (or Zoroastrian heresy) characters to ToG start and if yes, where? The Twich feed was bit unclear in this regard as it talked about "Spreading Zoroastrians around a bit" and showed two count vassals in Saffarid realm.

The Zoroastrian have been spread out to where they historically were in the new parts of the map, but I don't see any new direct playable characters I am afraid.

- Previously, I believe Tulunids were hardcoded to avoid going to Nubia and rolling over it as Abyssinia/Nubia were quite weak. Is this still in place as east Africa has been revamped and is, until something unites it, even weaker than before.

Neither me or Wiz is aware of any hard coded condition to not invade Nubia.

- With the map expanded to Siberia, have any pagan holy sites been moved around?

Nope

 

[Alexivan]

You didn't answer the rest of my question. :mellow:

I know.

 

[Groogy]

Are these notes final or will there be more?

 

[Groogy]

Is there Hotjoining, or the checksum not changing after quiting a game?

No hotjoin, checksum still changes.

 

[Groogy]

Release date?

Really Really Soon™

 

[Pallidum]

Are Tengry, Hindu, Jain and Budhist Holy Order Units inculuded in Turkish unit pack and Rajas of India? Or is there a plan for Eastern Holy Order unit pack that also inculude Ibadi and Nestoran?

Do Turkish portrait pack have pagan/non-pagan separation like Norse portrait pack?

Rajas of India includes new Indian unit models, but no specific holy order models. The same applies for the Turkish unit pack, no specific holy order models.

There is no pagan/non-pagan separation in neither the Indian portraits (included in the expansion), nor with the Turkish portraits.

Reply to post by yclept.

Merchant republic keep the old heir designation but might be moved to use the new one eventually.

 

[The Witch-King]

After SOA, all religions got at least one holy order. Does the inclusion of the indian holy orders mean they too get at least one each? And do they get any special sprites in the DLC/patch?

Yes, they get one each. No, they don't get special sprites in the DLC or patch.

Which branch of Christianity is Nestorianism modelled on? In terms of game mechanics.

It's similar to Orthodox.

Will RoI add any new pre-1066 dates?

No. But you can play in India at the earliest Old Gods start date of 867 if you also have that DLC.

Are there other DLC-exclusive features besides playable Hindus/Buddhists/Jains and portraits?

Lots of new events and decisions related to India are DLC-exclusive.

Can an army have different special units in it? Can I have both elephants and horse archers for example?

Yes.

So.... I really, really want to play as Castile/Spain in a converted game with randomized Americas. To which dark got do I need to make continuous human sacrifices to make it possible?

Does the chance it such event triggering increases or decreases if I use PDS developers?

No need to sacrifice, you can already do this But you need to disable the Sunset Invasion DLC if you want to use the "random new world" option when converting your saved game to EU4.

Will the Sultanate of Delhi(k_Delhi?) be a de jure realm held by a Hindu Raja character at the start, or a titular realm for Muslim Indian rulers?

There is a de jure Kingdom of Delhi. It will be available at game start if you choose a later date (it was historically established in the early 13th century).

- Cathar women can now have the same career ambitions as men
- Cathar vassals no longer have negative opinions for liege or liege's heir being female

Is this done via religion = cathar, or something more like religion = { is_feminist = yes } since we have the new flag?

The first one is done by checking if the religion is cathar. The second one is done through the is_feminist flag in the religions file.

Do the new camel cavalry have camel models?

Yes.

Can we have some screenshots of the new Indian portraits? The ones that we're leaked didn't show that much variation.

More screenshots including portraits coming very soon. Watch the forums and the facebook page.

 

[Pallidum]

But you have to own the Rajas of India to have them, right?

You need to own Rajas of India to get the new Indian unit models and portraits, yes. Everyone will, however, get a free complimentary gratis War Elephant.

This is a bit of a departure from how we usually do things, with separate cosmetic DLCs and all, but we figured that with the scope of Rajas we might as well do things a bit differently.

 

[Groogy]

Has there been added any sort of failsafe or backup-save system to the Ironman mode?

Nope

 

[Alexivan]

As some one who is quite computer ignorant i would just like to know if you will still be able to edit save games if using this option?

Yeah, you'll have to open the save with a zip software and extract the actual save data, then you can edit at will. Don't even have to put the new data into the archive to be able to load it.

 

[Alexivan]

But how am I supposed to make my children Jewish now?

Make sure the jewish guardian of the children is a ruler.

 

[Groogy]

Their children have an employer, though, the vassal.

The employer requirement does not take into account the child, only the guardian.
And no it is not in defines because it is a change in the scripts, not hardcoded.
