Crusader Kings 2 Redux

[PRC]

My heir went off to join the Varangian guard.  When exactly does he get that trait?

My son did the same and came back home several years later.  He was depressed and wouldn't talk about the things he saw.  I don't recall him actually having a "Varangian" trait though... soon after he returned my King died and his heir fell into hopeless independent faction wars with his remaining brothers, including the depressed Varangian.  The heir got all the shitty counties while the other sons got the plum ones!

My second son went off to join the Varangian Guard. A few years later my heir died so I invited the new heir back home. He came home and after 20 or so years of him fighting in Britain and raiding Iberia I suddenly got an event saying he had died while serving in the Varangian guard.

Dear Mrs., Mr., Miss or Mr. and Mrs. Daneekulf. Words cannot express the deep personal grief I experienced when your husband, son, father or brother was killed, wounded or reported missing in action.

It worked out eventually.  My son came back, depressed and had that trait.  Strangely I can't seem to get Holy War CBs on Pagans for the most part.  I can get it on a few provinces but not most.

Another observation, new rebellions are mostly just annoying as I predicted. Unless your back is up against the wall and you're out of troops, there's little chance that you won't successfully kill off any peasant rebellion (only type I've had so far). New system just makes it that you have to prioritize fighting them rather than just ignoring them.  Yet to see what they said about additional rebels joining in on an-ongoing rebellion (did have though a time when several random generals showed up to help me fight off a rebellion with a host of free troops for me).

I disagree. You cannot just flat out ignore them anymore. Sure it's annoying that you have to hunt them down but that wasn't going away, we knew it, and them having purpose is worth the trouble of having to make peace with them.

Did you read what I said as I said that you can't just ignore them anymore? My point is that they are really just annoying though as I've yet to have an instance where I was like oh no, these rebels are going to win.

I saw Zoroastrian rebels take four provinces and reach 60 something percent of warscore against the Abyssids once, before the Sultan managed to turn the tide.

I love it when Catholics declare war on the pagans, get convert to attackers religion, get access to a wad of catholic mercs then rape the attacker by declaring war. LOL.

So they accomplished nothing?

The rebellion was significant enough to be remembered in the histories.

If we're considering the AI's efforts and not a human's, I've seen a Navarrese rebellion win against the Ummayids - to be fair the Ummayids were in "let's have a civil war every six months mode" but they still won whereas their Castilian neighbours who revolted at the same time didn't.
