Western Europe 410-962 - The Winter King

Actually they are adding warrior lodges as societies for pagans to the game with holy fury, so that could be used for the cult of mithras.

From what I can tell they seem to be mostly martial orientated.

Yes I know, that's what I'm proposing. The Cult of Mithras is a mystery cult though so technically the membership should be secret to non-members. For most of its initiates it's an impious act to join, since they're worshipping a foreign god in addition to their native ones. It will probably be more than just redoing localisation.

oh, I didn't read your earlier comments, sorry.

I have played as the Assassins and they don't really fit. Their mechanics would honestly fit better with the Cult of Isis, although it'd still require extensive work. The Cult of Mithras can just be set as a Hellenic warrior band, but also allow rulers of Celtic faiths as well as impious Christians. I imagine it wouldn't be the same for each pagan faith - whereas the Cult of Mithras would be a copy of the vanilla stuff, I imagine it'd be better not to give Celtic pagans an equivalent one as they'd be expected to join Mithras. I also suspect the vanilla Germanic warrior band could be included with very little additional work.

We know Paradox have done something personal combat skill in the patch, so it may be that some suggestions about duels could be fulfilled soon enough. Duels should be pretty important and serve as a substitute for pitched battles in some cases.

I forgot that there was a Cult of Isis as well. Could we see that implemented as a society?

Also, I'm curious about if anything is going to have to change pertaining to reformation, especially the Brythonic reformation, due to the changes in the mechanics. In general, though, could we see any new pagan natures or doctrines for reforming the faith?

I suppose we will have many alternate mechanics made available to modders, although I'm not sure if implementing them all is the right approach. I think some of the ones we've seen might not fit with the setting. I'm not active on the mod anymore but my own view of now Cult of Isis could be set out would be to make it like a pagan satanic order, but possibly only open to women. I'd take out some of the crazier mechanics but still allow them to work "foul magicks" in some sense. Members of the Cult of Isis should generally pick the seduction focus and do various intrigues as part of their missions.

i want to report that i found a few beautiful playlists that can be music for the game, all the credits to the respective creators of course
(Soissons, and general roman gameplay)

(arthur and celts)

(vikings music, best part in my opinion)

Why Is This Guy The Grandson Of A Church? Or Was His Grandfather Named "St. Edmund's Abbey"?

Why Is This Guy The Grandson Of A Church? Or Was His Grandfather Named "St. Edmund's Abbey"?

It's a dynasty named after a holding name, although it clearly looks like the wrong prefix is being used for Irish cultures.

Aurelius Ambrosius Just Died, And I Had Fleets Raised When The Event Fired Removing My Vassals, And I Was Able To Keep The Fleets Raised, But It Says They Are Not In A Friendly Port When I Put Them In My Port.

On A Related Note, Why Did I Have To Give Up All Of My Land When I Was Strong Enough To Beat The Gallic Empire And Almost All Of My Vassals Had At Least 75 Opinion Of Me? And What About My Personal Demesne?

 

[kmaj]

The tribal ruler modifier is ridiculous on succession. -100% opinion on EVERYONE in the realm? For what? It can't be martial which is 26 (twenty-six), and prestige is more than 900. It's idiotic. Why does my wife hate me to death for this? Why do factions support claimants that have a fifth of my prestige, half of my martial, and would immediately get -100 on winning?
Can I know the actual formula by which this is calculated?

I Feel I Should Atleast Get Some Sort Of Vassalisation CB, Or Claims On My Former Demesne.

We have plans for Aurelius Ambrosius that will make this situation avoidable.

How many provinces is your realm? It sounds like you're getting a huge malus from that.

Vanilla problem, nothing we can do about that.

30 provinces, 40 realm size and 5 demesne.

 

[DC123456789]

30 provinces, 40 realm size and 5 demesne.

30 provinces is huge for a tribal realm, and 900 prestige isn't really that much at all. Something that big isn't meant to be stable between successions.

Any Recommendations For Dealing With The Anglo-Saxons Absurd Amount Of Event Spawned Troops?

For Some Reason, When I Grant A Duchy-Tier Title To One Of My Vassals, It Always Grants Them Independence Even Though I Have A Kingdom-TIer Title. What's Even Weirder IS My Previous Ruler Had Said Title Ruled By A Vassal Before Dying. Can Somebody Tell Me Why This Is?

I Regret Converting This Guy To Roman Culture Lol.

The usual - hire mercenaries, stack your terrain bonuses, let them weaken their stack assaulting holdings or attacking other realms (even if it costs you a province or two).

That sounds like a bug. Do you have a save?

 

[ErateD8]

I Feel Like I'm Missing Something Here... Because The Angles Just Attacked A Realm With Roughly 4.5K Troops, And They Have 2. Not 2K, But 2.

Edit: Wait... He Actually Has 1000, But The Diplo Screen Says 2...

That sounds like a bug. Do you have a save?

Yeah, I Could Give A Save. Do You Need One Before I Granted The Title?

Anglo-Saxons get more troops against stronger realms.

Yes, and ideally what the title you're giving away is as well.

Why the fuck do you have to capitalize the first letter of every word? It's annoying to read.

 

[antidualist]

I'm having an issue where no matter how many commanders I appoint only one appears when I try to assign them to a flank. Makes battles unwinnable. Is this something others have experienced?
