Raid and Invasion maybe not working?

[sir Eyeball]

Hi I have all the DLC up to but not including Charlemagne after that I have not played for a while and just got back to the game. I have a few mods but not a lot and this question is so that I do not have to rumage through them to see if they are the cause of my problem. Here goes. I play as a Norse ruler in the Norse start and using my Marshall to set up a raid does nothing. No troops or ships arrive. The same applies when I call an invasion No troops or ships again and this is over several years for the raid and one year for the Invasion. Is it WAD because during this time I have seen very little peace or is there something wrong here and I should try and deactivate my mods to see what is causing it?

Raid troops is a chance and I have had it trigger fine with other tribals with 2.6.1.1

The Invasion is because the target is probably not that much stronger than you. You only get troops trigger if they are fairly stronger than you.

the invasion was against HRE so I would say fairly stronger than me. So me being in a war does not hamper the arrival of troops for either? If not I would have to go through my mods and see which one is causing the block.

Do you have the save game from before trying to execute the invasion?

People complain about this particular thing all the time and chances are your not as weak as you think. Or your character is too weak to attract anyone.

 

[sir Eyeball]

yes I do But this has been for several different tries on several different targets with several starts. I just want to know if the getting troops mechanic only works when you are at peace (both for raids and Invasions.) or if it also works when you are at war. If it is the latter some Mod I have is blocking my troops from getting there on both accounts and I would have to found out which one. (by process of elimination.)

Can't raise raiders with Marshal while at war.

Can raise troops for invasion while at war. But without looking at a particular game there isn't any way to be sure of the reason. If you have low diplo/martial skills you are heavily penalised for example.

As far as I know, you won't get any troops for your Prepared Invasion if your target is MUCH stronger than you(like, if you have 2k troops, and he has 40k, no event spawned troops for you)

 

[sir Eyeball]

cool to know that the wars is the reason. I have not been at peace yet so will try that first and see if that helps.
