Crusader Kings 2 Redux

[Martinus]

I don't like paypal and without that I have to jump through a million hoops.

How so? I paid with a credit card with no Paypal and it worked very smoothly. 

[Syt]

I've read before that some people seem to have problems paying with credit card from outside Europe.

[Tamas]

What is wrong with Paypal anyway? That you don't have all those separate Internet shops storing your credit card info? Bummer!

[Martinus]

The way my Citi Mastercard operates, I need to enter a separate code sent to my mobile by text every time I make an online purchase, so there is no risk of the data being stolen anyway. I sometimes notice that Americans are a bit backward, compared to Europe, when it comes to online payments.

Marti I don't think that can prevent the info from being stolen, but it would prevent someone else from using your card info if they got a hold of it.

[Faeelin]

I didn't realize there were chariot races in the 11th century; I thought it died out after the 7th century crisis. Interesting.

Yes, that's my point.

I'm glad they have a CB to make sure that Hungary gets reclaimed.

oh ha-ha!

That CB is ridicoulous. Not just because of Hungary but in general. I am modding it out, plus I am making muslim invasion CB a dukal CB if I can figure out how to. Fuck Fatimids.

Anyone know if there is a global modifier influencing the number of ships which can be levied? I want to divide that by 10 as well.

Yeah all and all though LoR added some stuff - I think it widely missed the mark of what it could/should have been about.

from our point of view yes, but if you consider the Paradox board demographics, almost everyone who is not a HOI-fan closet nazi balkantard is a Byzanteen. So the DLC has become everything it could be, when you are running a business.

I guess so through seems a bit much to suggest that they couldn't have snuck in some history in there and muslim fixes as well as byzanteen wet dream.

Of course, I re-checked that thread where people were excited by the chariot sequence and many didn't know that Nika Revolt had happened...so I can see that they'd have no issue with taking that event and projecting it 500 years in the future...

[Tamas]

I have: deleted the imperial reconquest CB altogether, made muslim invasions as such that it only goes against a duchy, and reduced AI naval invasion range to 1/4th of its default value. On the latter, the tooltip says that you can raise it if you take it over the default value (100), not sure if the decrease will have any effect. Fucking Fatimids.

[Queequeg]

Wasn't there a lot of intrigue between the Arpadok and Komnenoi?  I think that might actually be reason enough for a CB, although I usually just do it by marrying a Hungarian princess and murdering people until a toddler inherits. 

[Queequeg]

The thing I love about playing as a Byzantine is that I can use phrases like "murder people until an infant inherits" and not feel terrible or engage in anachronism.
