Strange Screenshots 1.05

[fiskbulle]

We have a Time Traveler in 1187 scenario.

The futurama effect!

 

[fiskbulle]

I havent laughed this many times in a row ever You guys's comments... Priceless!

 

[unmerged(50489)]

But he doesn't have any brothers. Or parents. Or sisters. Or kids. Not even dead ones.
Who'd he murder?

This is just a guess, but maybe a dead character remover was used, which considered the killed person deadweight in a savefile?

There's an assassination attempt of liege event, that has 20% chance of giving Kinslayer.

*THAT*'s f***ing random.

Can we get the IP2 guys on that? *cough*

As requested:

Ah, look at him: chaste, zealous, honest, a scholarly theologian, and a crusader to boot. With such perfect character in a Pope, surely the voices in his head are the voices of angels.

...unfortunately, the angels apparently told him to kill his brother...

Now I've got it! This guy hates himself so much, that he want to kill himself. Instead, he only managed to kill some of his other personalities. Kinslayer without kin mad easy.

:rofl: Good thinking...

That must be it, then. How random is THAT?... :wacko:

 

[LetaBot]

I don't know if these are strange.

Strange peace offer

And Friesland that swaped places with an Arab (I got arab neigbour in Europa now)

Strange peace offer

i don't see anything strange about that. if you take the only province of a 1-province realm, he'll give up everything -- drop all his claims, give you all your claims, and empty his treasury. that's pretty standard for the game.

Not too strange, actually. In CK, it's pretty common to see, say, an entirely Muslim Ireland or Italy, or an entirely Christian North Africa. One of the more amusing elements of the game...

A bastard declares himself heir of his late father...

The problem is that the bastard has been dead for over twenty years!

 

[Nick B II]

IIRC the event fires for a bastard's descendants, too. Basically his son (now a Count) bribed the Church, and is now in the line of succession of his grandfather's throne.

Forgive me if I'm missing something but he doesn't appear to have any children...

The event doesn't check that, these are the triggers

character_event = { #I have shown myself to be a true son of my father by right of rule.

	id = 8750
	picture = "event_claim"

	trigger = {
		condition = { type = ruler }
		condition = { type = trait value = bastard }
		condition = { type = not value = { type = trait value = vengeful } }
		condition = { type = not value = { type = trait value = suspicious } }
		condition = { type = age value = 16 }
	}

This then triggers this event for you

character_event = { #A bastard son has declared himself your legitimate heir based on his strength of rule.

	id = 8751
	picture = "event_claim"

	#triggered by 8750

	action_a = { #Interesting!
		effect = { type = prestige value = -5 }
	}
}

"SOMEHOW I'M JUST NOT SURE HIS HEART IS IN IT."

"GUYS, THIS REALLY ISN'T THE TIME."


Both of the images are from a County of Foix > Duchy of Navarra > King of Navarra game I'm just about to wrap up. Osman*, by grace of God King of Navarra, Emperor of Byzantium, and Count of Far Too Many Places to Mention Here, has taken Jerusalem by the second screenshot (hello piety!). This, in turn, sparked about a hundred thrillion retributive wars by the Seljuk Turks & friends. The poor troops seen getting outnumbered above are the leading elements of the End of History (1.1 million Navarrans vs. 150,000 Turks; about to capture their home provinces and press my claim to the Seljuk throne ;D ).

* Qara Khans got into Navarra, probably on account of it having very liberal policies on being Turkish. Eventually it developed to this! The next king will be Greek though --- 60 years in Byzantion itself are finally starting to show =D

 

[unmerged(20491)]

the first one isn't really strange -- it is unfortunately all too common for those Holy Land religious orders (who have Elective inheritance laws) to become Muslim.

 

[Anti-Tank]

Well, all right --- I was just mildly surprised when it sprang into existence with that grandmaster (but not terribly surprised when the Emirate of Arabs snuffed it out not a year later).

 

[LlywelynII]

The event doesn't check that, these are the triggers

So is there something in there we could add that would, yknow, make sure he's still alive first?

Osman... with the claim on the Seljuk throne

So walk me through this - you got beaten by the Qarakhnids and started playing as them? or you really started as Catholic Foix and your heir became Muslim because you had an event which allowed Arabic to spread north to Navarre? or what?

There is, really important reason to add such a condition.

The event fires, but the bastard is alread dead and has no children, so nothing really happens. Adding a condition to an event will increase the CPU-usage, while not adding the condition will just mean that you get a useless event. Annoying but better then slowing down the game
