I didn't redesign the ting events, just tweaked who they got used for. I haven't tried Sviariki, but the kingdoms I've tried haven't been that hard to get ting approval for. Maybe you just had bad luck with stats/traits?

Are you taking the money or the prestige when you marry?

As far as blood traits being passed from father only, this was Shay's decision and was discussed at least a couple of times before he disappeared. Basically, he didn't want people to collect blood traits... one blood trait max per character.

a) You're having really bad luck - or just a craven, low-prestige king - I've always been approved by the tings; you could try going berserk on lands around you, or go on a víking or two.

Maybe it is just REALLY bad luck. But the problem lies that this happens right when you start playing as Sviariki. You have no heir, no wife, no army, no nothing. If you were to go on a viking, chances are you would just die and have no heir available. That would be really stupid if you had to do that to secure your position as a king right when you start playing.

Going berserk with a army of roughly 1000~ or less soldiers when you start playing, within the first two months or so? That seems like a really bad idea, considering I've seen nearby provinces with more than that right at the start.

Svíariki has it the easiest, really - all you need for a happy rule is to wait a few months for a bit of a prestige buildup, steal all the Gulf Counts' lands and marry a random débutante, thus going on a víking or two afterwards.

The Norrland counties don't have anything near that much men - you'll almost always only see that much men (6k+ in one-province-countries) in religious wars in Continental Europe.

I might just have REALLY bad luck then. I'm taking the prestige as that is what I'm short of when marrying someone who gives me -80

I'll try it a few times more, and take notes of what traits I get and so on just in case.

EDIT: Fourth time a charm I guess, this time I got approved by the ting! huzzah! I must've had really bad luck at first

Is it possible then to pass on blood traits from mother to child if the father does not have one?

 

[Darkgamma]

Not as of yet. It wouldn't be hard to code, but would it be a good idea?

It would be really nice for those playing Cognatic nations, since having a female ruler will lose us our trait if we have any form of child succession law.

 

[wakko2k]

Edit: Nevermind

 

[richvh]

No. All the blood traits are coded as agnatic - father to child only.

The majority of my monarchs in my AAR had no blood trait, despite the dynasty starting with one.

 

[richvh]

One of the conditions for going on a víking: Health traits fewer than 1.

I dont have any traits that reduces my health. However, I have the observant trait, which gives me 1+ health. It seems like this makes me unable to go on a viking as the health trait condition is the only one that isnt met, which seems a bit odd seeing as he has gained health which should just be better for him. Just thought I'd report this, as it seems rather odd to me

Health traits are things like maimed, wounded, ill, lunatic, possessed. Observant is a personality trait, not a health trait.

The three god bloods for the Norse mod are not coded that way, you just need to have one of your parents with the trait for it to pass on.

 

[richvh]

You can also lose those if you convert to a non-Norse faith.

 

[fargoniac]

Not as of yet. It wouldn't be hard to code, but would it be a good idea?

I recommend having a "Matrilineal" equivalent to each blood trait. It would be inherited from the mother to her children and would have half as much of an effect.

Ex: Aeddan has the blood trait Blood of X. He has a daughter Crusli, who has a daughter and two sons, which all inherit Matrilineal Blood of X. The children of her sons inherit Matri. Blood of X, but those of her daughter do not.

 

[richvh]

Doing so would have to be by event, since there's no enatic modifier for traits, the way there is an agnatic modifier to control trait inheritance.

 

[TheDarkMaster]

Another thing that would be really nice for Paradox to include in the game for moders.

 

[TheDarkMaster]

Quick report on Norse centralization laws. Sparse laws say in the localization that they'll let you revoke infidel titles, but the actual effect is general revocation (which I already seem to be able to do without that law).

 

[DunkFunk]

Quick question.

Catholics seemed to be blessed with an abundance of free holy mercs for wars that aren't related to anything holy such as de jure claims. Is this working like it should? seems that if you want to conquer a catholic it requires a bit of hope that someone elsewhere is already using all the catholic mercs.

 

[Bad_Haggis]

WAD, Catholics are supposed to have them.

 

[witcher1701]

Making catholics OP is not a good design decision tbh

 

[DunkFunk]

Thanks for the reply!
