June 3 BETA PATCH: GENERAL FEEDBACK

[Riddermark]

well a more rough solution can be for the ai to check if the province is in revolt, like the looted check, and if yes then an event will fire telling the ruler that his advisors strongly suggest to create a county there or it cant be done?

 

[unmerged(21937)]

Event can't give counties away. And like I said before, making AI ditch all revolting provinces would be AI shooting itself in the leg more than it's doing so now.

 

[Riddermark]

ok so make it so that all AI kingdoms duchies etc can have only 1 demense

Sure, i believe it wouldn´t be really ahistorical and also it would be easier to overrun the enemy... so i would give a vote to not do so

 

[unmerged(2456)]

exactly. on both points. Besides it would have no impact on non-christians.

 

[Duuk]

If there would obviously be "distance = X" system in there,

This is my *one* wish for CK2. I think that one, single, simple conditional would allow such powerful scripting.

After I get my lawyer to buy Paradox Interactive for me, I'll suggest it.

 

[unmerged(33270)]

I bet this is impossible to do, so I guess I'll have to wait for CK2 if I want to see it but whatever:
I'm greatly frustrated over the fact that I can't keep a huge army in a province without losing 50% of the men due to attrition. I really desire a option to give supplies for money (big amount of course) to an army, causing less attrition. During the Middle Ages, they actually could keep maybe 50 000 men in a area of CK province size without losing all damn fellows.

I had this crusade a while ago, and I sent an army of 60 000 men to Palestine. Many of them disembarked in the same province (I had splitted them up, but some of the smaller armies ended up in the same province), they were about 30 000 in that province. A second later, 20 000 of them were dead. That didn't exactly helped me against the muslims...

Try doing what they did historically...

Break your armies up into several stacks and send them through alternate routes, preferably ones with an extensive road network.

Though, if it is any consolation, your 60,000 fared alot better then Barbarossa's 100,000...

 

[unmerged(21937)]

There were quite terrible attrition problems with Crusades historically too. With extensive roads, you can have some 30k in a province without attrition. More than that and you actually can't transport the food into the province from elsewhere anymore.

 

[unmerged(33270)]

I guess you're right. But the provinces have a tendency to lose all their building because of some dumb AI ruler refusing to give it away.
When I'm crusading, half of the provinces in Outremer has big castles and roads etc, but the other half has absolutely nothing. So even if I use a 5 000 men strong army, they'll still suffer much attrition when they pass the ruined provinces.

Another suggestion: I've noticed in the events file an event that will let the ruler establish a Kingdom of Jerusalem. This is good, I thought of suggesting it before I discovered the event. What's bad, however, is that I've conquered Jerusalem and its sorroundings many times but I've never got that event. Is it only bad luck? And does the new kingdom recieve my vassals provinces in Jerusalem too?

I also think that this event should occur for all the targets, Alexandria, Byzantium, Tunisa etc. The catholics established a Latin Empire in Byzantium after taking the city. I know that, for example, the title emperor of Latin Empire don't exist but an independent duchy there should do the job fine. And for Alexandria and Tunis there are already kingdom titles and for Antioch there could be an independent duchy.

Sorry for my long posts, but I've got so many ideas.

The kingdom event does not give you the kingdom, but creates Random Gauthier to fill the throne. Much like Order events.

I know that, my post was a little hazy done.

I don't know about anyone else but i've been getting that VFC crash (at least I think that is what it is. I get windows telling me that crusader kings has crashed and if i want to sent a report.. i think that is the VFC crash). It happens every hour or so that I play. I haven't been running the debug program but I can almost swear it has happened during some big wars involving either myself (the duchy of swabia as an independant) or germany. But it has been happening after extended play and seems to happen during wars...

Its not reproducable either...

anyways, I'll try and catch it with the debug program...

 

[unmerged(21937)]

Formerly VFC crashes have always been connected to autosaving, so are your crashes during autosaving or just randomly during the game?

It might be performance CTD, if it especially happens during wars and you have low end machine, but it can certainly be something else too. Debug log would really help finding it out though, so trying to catch it with Debug would really be appreciated.

Yea, I have autosave off so its just random. I'll try catching it with debug though...

I don't think 2.6 ghz 512 ram is really LOW end.. its not realy high, but I have noticed it happens more often on higher speed levels...

Nah. the dreaded VFC actually popped up a spiffy window that said "VIRTUAL FUNCTION CALL: 1611" and tried to fake you into thinking it could recover from it, then crashed while laughing and taunting you, all while screwing up your saves.

Well, it's probably either an event crash of some sort or some local problem dealing with plenty of sprite drawing on high speeds. Debug would really help finding out which it is, but I'm betting on the latter.

Babys leave?

I guess I treat my court hard, rarely handing out money, or taking notice of courtiers wanting titles/appointments etc..

But when a baby (grandson- 1 year old-umpteenth in line of succession) decides to leave the court for foreign pastures..hmm takes the biscuit methinks!
:rofl:

 

[Zebedee]

Enjoying it a lot. Couple of events I've noticed which may not be firing correctly:

Armies disbanding for the loss of 25 prestige from lack of mone can fire even when you have no armies on the field.

Piety gain from Diocese being impressed by treatment of bastard can fire even when all known bastards have been long dead.

Very stable and great fun. Cheers beta people

Just wonder, I didn't really got any feedback for my previous suggestion as it was misunderstood.
But is it possible that you may add events for creating independent states for the other crusade targets as well? So if I conquer Alexandria, for instance, I would be able to establish an independent crusader state there (Kingdom of Egypt would be suitable).
