You asked us everything about CK2: Sons of Abraham - here are the answers!

[LACKADAISICAL]

Can a christian ruler create israel by cranting jerusalem to a jewish vassal and releasing them?

 

[themunck]

Good suggestion, but no. On a related note, I have actually completely forgotten to mention the new split buttons we've added to the unit interface though. You can now split an army in half, or split off mercs, retinues and special forces.

Nice, but I'd still prefer an embark keyboard order. (Yes, I am aware I can assign one myself relatively easily)

 

[SBolshevik]

Have you maybe thought about moving some Holy Sites, only slightly, to a more historical place? Like, for example, moving the Romuva Holy Site in Kulm/Chelmno to Sambia, to the temple of Romowe (Romuva)?

BTW, doing this, along with moving the capital of the Romuva High Priesthood to Sambia would be great.

Yes, that should be possible.

 

[The Witch-King]

There could be a decision too when Jerusalem is jewish to bring back this diaspora to their ancestral land..

Since Jews in foreign lands are likely to have both an infidel and foreigner opinion modifier of their lieges, you would probably have a very good chance at inviting them to your court if you are a Jewish King of Israel...

 

[SadN3rd]

Any chance that the previous DLCs will go on sale on release day?

The converted Israel actually have a national idea with this in mind. (Converted Israel for EU4)

How did you create this cozy borders Izrael in video diary? , by console commands? Doesn't the 'usual' way to create Israel involve beating & conquering everything on the way to Jerusalem as Khazars?

Are there events for your sons to run off to join orders/become monks without your consent?

Or is it only the knights you owe money to demands that can do that?

They can't run off without asking you, but there are events where they spontaneously ask you for permission.

 

[Electrius]

Will Jewish rulers have succession mechanics like Muslims, like Pagans, or like Christians?

Thanks for the quick answer.
One more question, can the Papacy system to modded to multiple religions or are there limits on how many can run at once without complications coming up.
[As you cant have multiple papacies or HREs in EU3 for example but you can have multiple republics in CK2 [not the best example but still they both have special windows].]

 

[keynes2.0]

If the schism is mended, is it subsequently possible for catholicism to replace orthodoxy as the main branch of the religion? Could this potentially happen immediately if the HRE, France and England all happen to stay catholic or is there some sort of cooldown to prevent it from happening too soon?

 

[Sleight of Hand]

QUESTION: Have you added any new history DB changes since the provisional changelog was posted?

 

[Groogy]

The Papacy is limited to one per religion if you mod it. For instance with the DLC there will be a papacy with the Fraticelli you can restore as well which works the same way and uses the same system.

As stated in the dev diaries, forming Israel will be an extremely hard task in a normal playthrough, so yes, we did cheat a bit in order to not have to spend weeks playing to get just that one shot

 

[unmerged(652342)]

Bump: how new "holy order switching from heresy" mechanic will work with schism mending? Will catholic orders switch to orthodoxy after schism was mended? Or they will remain catholic heretics? So for example: if i'm playing orthodox roman emperor and switch to catholic heresy after mending the schism, and after that i proceed to wipe out orthodoxy, in order to make catholic heresy "new" orthodoxy, in that case will i get Holy Orders from both orthodoxy and catholicism?

This is a very good question, and I thought it was sad it wasn't answered the first time I saw it. Please please please devs, please answer this.

 

[Tufto]

Can we play as Beta Israel/Semien?
