Crusader Kings 2 Redux

[Ideologue]

Why would I want to help kingdoms when I just let them die and then later take their land from the Muslims who currently occupy it?

[Maximus]

If you don't want their land.

[Tonitrus]

Is it me, or is "Defending the Faith" a pointless casus belli?  Knock the muslims around for a while and get nothing for it but some petty prestige?

It enables you to come to the aid of beleaguered Iberian kingdoms. It's not that effective though. As soon as your ruler dies the war ends, you abandon all the holdings you've taken, and you have to send all your levies home and disband them before you can re-enter the war.

The thing is though, is that I seized many of the territories that were highlighted by the war goals, and then battered them enough that I got the 100% to win.  Declaring victory just gave me some prestige, and all the territory when back to the muslims.  Seemed pointless...even from a benevolent "help Iberian Christians" point of view.

[Maximus]

I think the point is that you keep hitting them until the beleaguered Iberian christians win their war, not that you have specific war goals.

[Tonitrus]

Hmm, when I did it, there weren't really any Christians left. 

Well, besides what little the French and HRE had.

[JonasSalk]

Yeah, I'm always a little annoyed at how France and the HRE get ahold of large segments (or small segments) of Iberia every single game.

[Tonitrus]

And while I am whining today, why the fuck is there a relationship penalty for holding too many elector titles, when it doesn't mean anything anyway?  The three duchies that my ruler of Ireland holds seem to all count for only one vote total, while all the other unheld duchies each count as one vote apiece.

Anyone have any odd experiences with Agnatic-Cognatic Gavelkind?  Playing in the latest patch as Poland and I had at one point where my son (who had been heir), stopped being my heir and instead my sister was for about a good year.  Then later when I had 7 sons, after a war saw me take out the Lithuanians, my one son was my only heir for about 6 months before the game finally parceled out the inheritances between my sons, per gavelkind inheritance.

I quickly doubled in size as Poland because while the Principality of Turov was fighting Novgorod, I snuck in and annexed Turov. Kiev has now rejoined the faith of Rome.

Yeah, the heir's flipping around has happened to me as well.

[PDH]

The game seems to have problems with half-brothers and inheritance at times too.

[Razgovory]

What about Evil Twins?

[Josquius]

is it just me whose french kings keep being irish?

[Grallon]

I spent 2 weeks working on a new building system which IMO is quite an improvement on the vanilla one.  And no one - not a single soul is interested in it.  I suppose they'd rather have more useless fantasy empires instead of a detailed revamped building mod.  Talk about pearls thrown to swines.

Whenever you go to send a child to a tutor, look 3 times at the culture / religion of the tutor.  That's the culture / religion that child's going to be when they grow up. 

Always verify your tutors, and for the same reason don't give counties away to your heir until they grow up.

[Josquius]

I don't think thats it. It happens every game. And the name and dynasty is Irish too.
