Reapers Due - Merovingian Restoration?

[Roeben]

Does anyone know a way to get this bad boy landed and on his way to restoring the merovingian dynasty without cheating?

He's got Monk, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to land him without resorting to cheats.

I think a faction revolt supporting his claim could remove the Monk trait?

 

[Widowmaker94]

I really do want to have him be a minor count or something. Not being able to IM as Merovingians really irks me.

Yes, his claim on France has to be pressed. Winning removes his monk trait.

Making him a minor count wouldn't have been realistic. Be thankful he's alive at all to play around with .

That still doesn't make him a playable character for IM purposes. My hatred for Karlings transcends rationality or realism.

The obvious solution is to give him a landless title. THAT WE MAY PLAY CRUSADER HOBOS.

A Merovingian alive? I'm rather suprised and this and good luck with restoring him to power. I just hope that Francia won't change to France if a Merovingian takes over as that wouldn't make much sense, at least to me.

 

[Roeben]

I fooled around a bit and its pretty hard to get other dukes to support his claim. Favor grinding maybe?

I purchased the DLC... but it's not installing. It's not installed on Steam.

Restart steam, it'll work after you log in again.

Just thought of that and did so. It worked.

There for sure isn't any seperate rule for the Merovingians.

But even for Karlings changing the name would make sense since it shoud be something cultural and not dynastical.

With a french ruler at some point they just should change the name, a frankish would keep francia.

For the sake of fun, the monk trait could be removed along with his claims on the kingdoms allowing him to be given titles normally, after all we now next to nothing about his life just because he was sent to a monastery does not mean he became a monk.

That's less fun. Embrace the challenge of pressing his claim.

We have different measures of fun it seems, but any way he shouldn't really have the claims when Childeric III was deposed he was tonsured, this means that basically he was forced to renounce his claims to the throne this means that when Childeric died there was nothing for Theodoric to inherit.

All equivalent game mechanics involving deposing would have left him with at least a weak claim, unless we're envisioning some outside of the normal rules situation.

Could he somehow become an adventurer?

Unless there's some rule about monks that has been added over time, it seems possible. With feasibly low MTTH of about 18.75 years.

Yup just happened in my Visigoth game, he did and adventure for Austrasia, you cannot image how happy I am at this turn of events, still I say he could be made a count (of Eu) given a terribly short life expectancy and at best a weak claim that way he would be playbe form the start.

PI could add an achievement "Longhairs return" (or something): Trigger - Be part of a successful faction that presses Theudrics claim.

Yeah that would be cool.
