How the hell do you know about so many exploits? I wish I could game the game like this ;\

Because I spend the majority of my time on the forums in the bug section and typically reproduce every report. It took means 3 attempts to recreate the revocation exploit, it's not something I typically use.

Even if that was true (and it isn't, necessarily) it is ludicrous to say self-control isn't required in a 'competitive' game. These exploits aren't even part of standard gameplay, you have to go OUT OF YOUR WAY to make use of them. It is an active and concerted effort to skirt the game's intended playstyle. In a game that sprawls like CK2 does there will always be exploitable elements, holding the devs responsible for 'fixing' each and every one of those when the only thing a player has to do for it to not affect gameplay at all is TO NOT DO IT is ridiculous.

This. I'm never going to tell my favorite exploit because it would get "fixed".

And fortunately I have yet to see it discussed on the forum so there's hope for me yet!

Well I was thinking of giving the Finns and their religion more flavor on my free time, but now.... :glare:

I am wondering. If I marry my daughter (my heir) matrilineally to a guy from a good family with no claims. After a while the guy goes adventuring because he wants something to rule, gets defeated and locked up. Lands in anoter court with another culture together with my daughter and grankids. He does not accept myu invitation but my daughter is willing to return. Is it an exploit that I invite my daughter back because I do not want my grankids (my future heirs) raised in a foreign culture?

Well to be honest I don't even need special flavor for Finland all I ask is that they wouldn't get steamrolled by Svithjod in first 10 years of the game.

So you are saying I have to add Finland into De-jure Kingdom of Sweden? Okay! :D

My personal favorite exploit is giving the richest direct bishop/mayor a barony then plotting to kill him and recieving all that money cause he has no heir as a baron. I actually have it down to a science, I will kill off the first secondary castle I conquer till I own it, then give it to all my bishops and mayors till I get enough money to build a new castle in my capital duchy then rinse and repeat. Then once my entire realm is full I upgrade them all. All inside an ironman game. Oh and they even help you do the exploit by making every AI HATE a person with two types of government so everyone including rivals join you to kill them.

It is exploity though since as far as I know AI almost never uses betrothals.

The problem here is that the AI doesn't use betrothals, not that the player is using them.

Really, it would be worth it to introduce them as it might help facilitate more marriages between powerful families and end the mad scramble to marry the queen that's just turned 16.
