Crusader Kings 2 Redux

[Drakken]

Thanks for the answers. Bummer about the liege being able to raise troops without asking.

I played a bit more this morning and my liege usurped my title. One little plot against him and that's how he reacts.

You should still have a claim on that title, so if the ruler becomes weak and you have 50% of the Duchy's de iure provinces you can usurp it back again, or outright declare war on him should you become independent.

I thought it would be sorta fun to play the new Ethiopian rulers but the Egyptians just come rolling in making them pretty much unplayable.  Bummer they looked like they would provide a good game in theory.

[Grey Fox]

Damn it. It's a god damn J. Jure.

[Admiral Yi]

Yeah, what's up with that de iure business?

[Martinus]

Damn it. It's a god damn J. Jure.

No it's not. In fact, Latin does not have a "j" letter. 

It's also pronounced "de yoo-reh" not "j" like "jam".

[HVC]

Latin's dead and the letter J lives on

[Sheilbh]

It's also pronounced "de yoo-reh" not "j" like "jam".

Not in English it's not.  Although legal English absolutely butchers Latin and Norman French by using their words without any change of pronunciation than if they were just English words

I know. I'm annoyed at your presumptuous use of the Classical latin instead of the correct translated word of Jure.

[Martinus]

Sorry, I'm going to use Latin words in their correct spelling and pronounciation not some English butchery.

Just as "prima facie" is pronounced "pree-mah fah-ts-ye" and not "pr-ay-mah fey-sh-ye", and "mu" in "mutatis mutandis" is pronounced "moo", not "m-yu".

[OttoVonBismarck]

Marti is right sort of, classical Latin did not have a J character in its alphabet (or a U), which is why Iesvs would be the original spelling for Jesus. But I believe Medieval latin had added J and U, which is where the modern form of the name "Jesus" comes from...so it's only partially correct to say Latin doesn't have a J. Classical Roman Latin did not, but Latin continued in common usage (well, common enough) for over 1,000 years after the Western Empire fell and while most 20th/21st century Latin classes don't teach Medieval Latin it's still a valid form of the language and a lot of modern words have their spelling based on the Medieval form.

Also, the incorrect (English) pronounciation of Latin words is one of my key pet peeves, so I may be overreacting here.

[Syt]

Damn it. It's a god damn J. Jure.

No it's not. In fact, Latin does not have a "j" letter. 

As anyone who's watched Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade should know.

Mad King James recently tried to suggest some changes but a quick poster threw in that p'dox had done research on the area and that this was a game.

[Martinus]

Damn, I gotta say, this is probably the best game Paradox has ever made, or at least one I am most excited about.

It reminds me of my teenage years when I was reading Runciman and Huizinga.
