HIP Release - 2016-05-28 (Zeus7)

[Rylock]

Also, first time I'm noticing this, since when has the CB files been reverted to a single file like vanilla? For us amateur modders, the breaking up of the CB files was great in earlier versions of HIP. I wonder why it was reverted back to an aggregate single file.

That is the bug we mentioned. The trigger "using_cb" doesn't work when the cb's aren't in a single file like vanilla. Seeing as that trigger is used in some pretty critical places, it was a fairly vital fix. When and if that gets fixed, I expect zijistark will switch it back.

Oh, most definitely. Opening that huge 00_cb_types.txt, let alone doing random edits to CBs and such, is just a PITA. But 'pparently CK2 no longer supports CB folderization (which, BTW, I stated previously in this thread), so them's the breaks for now.

A vassal of mine just funded an adventurer against me. Shouldn't that be arrest-worthy?

I'm pretty sure 'coronated' isn't correct. Just use 'crowned'!

This is the same thing, just Latin archaism.

 

[ogarrr]

Coronated is a biological term, Coronate literally means 'crown shaped' like a Rooster's crest.

Look at number 2. Coronated as a word, very much describes what it says on the tin here. Whether Crowned would be preferable is a another matter that i will leave up to the native English speakers

As a native Anglophone, I prefer the noun "coronation" and the verb "crown". I don't think I've ever seen the verb "coronate" used at all, and it's relatively uncommon that the noun "crowning" would be used in this context.

tl;dr: "The coronation of King John was magnificent!" is better than "The crowning of King John was magnificent!", and "The crowd applauded when King John was crowned." is better than "The crowd applauded when King John was coronated.".

 

[Rylock]

Personal preference is great and all, but "coronated" works just fine.

I have an issue with the new way the Despot title is assigned. It is now a council position, and is no longer an honorary title that 'counts as being born in the purple'. I have previously used the despot title to ensure my eldest son is named as my heir if he was born before his Father was the emperor and was therefore NOT born in the purple, but his younger siblings WERE born in the purple and hence were ahead of him in the imperial line of succession.

Is this WAD? Have you intentionally removed this way of managing inheritance in the ERE? I think its a good idea that the Despot should be on the council but i prefer being able to name any of my sons as Despot in case elder ones were born out of the purple.

Is your older son an adult? That's the only added restriction, as we can't have children on the council. I didn't think it'd be much issue since such an elder son is usually, in my experience, of age or of age shortly relative to the younger children. If he's an adult, then the council title should still count as purple-born.

When playing with a large empire, many people decide whether or not they attend the coronation.
This leads to the necessity of saying "I see" of "excellent" to way to many people.
I think you shouldn't get a window for each of the answers. Even the negative answers alone would be too many.

Yes but I mean if you don't know who's snubbing your coronation how are you supposed to know who to invade next and exact revenge for your hurt pride?

I think the point is that it should work just as the "Hold a Feast" event works: The default assumption is that everyone's coming, and you're notified only if the invited person isn't coming. Apparently, though:

Even the negative answers alone would be too many.

I don't know how this could be condensed even further, however.

The Imperial Decay system sounds great. Finally empires will work like, well, empires. Sounds like the ERE should finally be a challenging game. I look forward to trying it out when I go home tomorrow.

The most recent updates are nice, especially the fact that there are now coronations, makes me really happy. Really need to get back to playing HIP again but RL is hard at work to prevent me from doing so XD Keep up the good work

 

[aussieboy]

Does this require Conclave?

 

[Ese Khan]

Does this require Conclave?

No, HIP runs with or without Conclave.

This is my first time playing this game in ages, but I can't find out how to start a coronation. My King is like 10 years into his rule and still hasn't had a coronation, I think I'm just going to console command away the modifier.

There is a decision in the intrigue tab. Perhaps you just don't have enough gold?
