Not possible. Closet case

Well he did go on to take the Papal tiara by storm.

Man, I'm trying to pre-order this on Steam (so I can waste some time with CK1) and that shit is Slower Than the End of Atomic Matter (that is, roughly 10^35 years between me typing "Crusader Kings" into the search toolbar and it actually appearing in the field ).

Edit: fuck this.  Garbon, you win again.  TIME TO DIPLOANNEX FRANCE AND AUSTRIA GO ARAGON!

If your human noble kills the predator, shouldn't there be a chance for a nuclear detonation?

perhaps:

10% - killed in time

90% - all your cities, castles and churches are destroyed, but you walk away with a cool trophy.

Slightly off topic for this thread, but I find the premise silly that aliens with stealth technology, laser sights and spaceships found hunting medieval humans to be any kind of sport.


Edit: Special thanks to Tyr for spotting my accidental word omission.

I figured out that F11 is the key for taking screenshots, but where does it put them? 

[Josquius]

There seems to be a lot of stuff in my documents- seems to be the way these days that customizable game files all go there.
My documents incidentally is where I found the settings.ini; windowed mode in this game rules. It looks full screen but its not.

Try documents/paradox/CK II demo

They should be in there.

You find it? Daft? Cool?
As if the former...just look at some modern hunters with their super laser sights and all that crap totally outgunning deer.
Or the way people used to use massive blunderbuss thingies to take down a zillion birds at once.

Yep, I assume save games will end up in that same file.  It wouldn't be needed if people would stop installing games in the Program Files folder, but apparently that is too hard a concept to grasp.

Yeah, sorry about that. I left a word out - I find it silly.

Is there any way to get claims to start wars other having your Chancellor eventually be successful, or some kind of intricate web of marrying off relatives?

Marrying for claims and if you have someone in your court with a claim you can fight on their behalf. But make sure they don't have a dukal (?) claim or you'll just make a new neighbour instead of a vassal.

Besides Muchard, there is only one other Duke in Ireland, the rest are all Earls.  It also looks like the starting prospects for marrying into claims around there is a very long-term road.

The manual mentions a diplomatic option of "claim title" (at the cost of prestige, which I ended up with buckets of), but I've never seen it.

You didn't fabricate claims?

[Josquius]

How do you find out about current wars anyone?
I can't seem to find who people are at war with

What I do is click on one of their provinces. At the left, below their portrait there will be small icons, with a CoA and a tincy-wincy sword, one icon for each war they are in. Hover over one and learn the sides and the reason.

I had my Chancellor working at it, never achieved anything.

Was monkeying around with the same Irish lord, getting a better feel for the game mechanics.

After I instituted elected succession, my Hungarian Duchess-wife (who went into a deep negative relations after that change) started a plot against my grandson. 

When I demanded that she end the plot, she complied....and pretty much immediately became pregnant.  Make-up sex?
