I would assume the elder twin is the one listed first in the save file as it couldnt go by birthday.

Or it could just "random_list = { 50 = {} 50 = {} }" it for who gets to be the first one out into the world?

Maybe but that would be alot more complicated, i mean either you use a flag or something to specific which is older, which requires placing it and checking it in every succession calculation, or you just go by first on the list wins, which is how localisation doubleups work.

Oh wait. Since it's character-numbers it wouldn't matter if it's the first one listed (For example in Sengoku it being "559 - Oda Nobunaga.txt"). Probably posted that thinking of Tags, so it'd give alphabetical preference. Nevermind.

I want conjoined Twins as King with each with differing traits. Your subjects love one while they think the other is a bastard.

Will your liege be able to give you titles for loyal service? or is that not something the AI does?

In previous versions of the game, my liege has given me both honorary and landed titles. As always, it's a bit haphazard (I was Brandenburg and the Emperor gave me the Duchy of Salerno) but you won't see me complaining.

I have no idea if the most up to date version has the AI doing this.

got it in the demo minor and landed titles, council appointement. but landed title was based on my possessions.

Maybe you could recruit an awful spymaster that hates you and try to assasinate someone very powerful with really high intrigue and hope for retaliation?
Gamey? Noooo, of course not!

Regarding suicide: Playing as the Duke of Barcelona with the time limit almost elapsed, I wanted my grandson to inherit Tuscany from Matilda, my daughter-in-law. I sent an assassin, he failed and ratted me out. The next day, I was murdered myself. As the heir, I couldn't get any support for the murder-my-wife plot, so I sent an assassin to Maltida: assassin failed, Matilda's assassin got me. As Matilda's son, I tried again. As soon as an assassin revealed my name, Matilda killed me.

Religious Conversions
As I understand from reading the game files you are only able to convert to your liege's faith (which is uberawsome) if it's from the same group (i.e. christians within their group, muslim within theirs etc.) and it costs you 500 piety points. Now the first thing is a bit unrealistic - there were many cases throughout the history when folks converted from christianity to islam, from paganism to christianity and so on. I'd say there should be the possiblity to convert to any faith the liege has. Second of all- 500 is a bit rough- I'd change it to 200 and add some kind of a 'neophyte' trait which would forbid the new in creed from doing certain things.

"Landed titles" as in counties or just duchies?

That's... weird. Especially given the importance of de jure title claims I'd prefer this not happen.

Wait, or do I? I guess it's sort of like your liege saying "I'm giving you the title, now go get your own de jure lands, kiddo!"

Do succesion laws always change when a ruler dies?

Just happened in my demo as a duke where I had the one where it all goes to 1 son and then my leader died (old boy who had ruled for 45 years - 15 years under my control). My son inherited the title but the two pretenders had CB and they owned counties in my duchy and were vassels. However the succession law changed to open elect as soon as the old duek died. Why is this?

He also gave me the counties related to the duchy, so this point was moot. I didn't get the counties right away, but after a couple of years, I got them.

The AI respects de jure duchies when handing out titles. He just sometimes is slow about giving them away.

Are all king level catholic bishops Popes? As i was just looking through the manual there, and it seems to suggest that if a Bishopric gets the title of King of somewhere, he'll be Pope of it whether its the papal states or not.
And it doesnt even say what an Emperor level one would be called.

And with honourary titles with stipends, where does the money come from? out of thin air or from the liege [i.e. your] bank?

 

[hitchens]

Not a question, but a general statment.

Releasing a game in the middle of the week is evil. Had it been released today I could have played it ALL WEEKEND!

Question:

Will be possible in CK2 to continue a saved game with another county/dukedom/realm like CK1?

In CK1 I used to start GC by picking a Kingdom/Dukedom and assigning a fief to a courtier, then saving and reloading with this new county.

I would like to carry this custom on even in CK2...

King-Bishop of a Theocracy IIRC is what I've seen.

Is this a bug or a feature:

I was playing as the count of Amiens. The duke of normandy declared himself independend from france and the king of france grant me a claim on the duke of normandy.
So there were 2 wars going on: Normandy and France (Independence) and Normandy vs. me (Claim).

I managed to capture about 50% of all the normandy provinces, but suddently the king made truce with normandy and I get a message, that I couldnt capture normandy.
I lost the war and all my provinces I conquered.

But I still have the claim open and I can declare the war again. But I'm very unhappy that I lost the war, because the king made peace with normandy.

 

[Muskeato]

You actually lost the war? As in lost prestige? Or it was just forced to end?

 

[Solo?]

Is there any advantage to not selecting "press all claims" when declaring war on a character you have several claims on? If I won the war wouldn't I want as much territory as possible, rather than specific provinces?
