Crusader Kings 2 Redux

[Razgovory]

Playing as 1100 start Lithuania with Old Gods. Constantly raiding Poland is awesome.

Why can't Muslims and Christians raid religious enemies?

Who knows? Why do viking long boats lose the ability to navigate rivers when the Norse Christianize?

[Solmyr]

They all try to walk on water without boats.

What disadvantages are there, if any, of having a holding of the wrong type?  After giving up on this game I'm giving it another try, as Duchess of Tuscany.  I conquer Ravenna and see the capital is a temple, so I appoint a bishop.  Now I'm looking at the various Italian republics, and see their capitals are towns.

Does that mean I have to appoint magistrates if I annex them?  Can I make a barony the capital of the county?  What bad things happen if I just keep the wrong type of holding in my demesne?

[Liep]

Tax penalty is the bad thing, iirc. You can change the county's capital by granting it to either a baron, a mayor or a bishop.

[Admiral Yi]

Thanks dude.

Two more questions:

What do you need before you get retinues?

Do the Mongols ebb somewhere on the German border, or do they turboconquer everything unless stopped by you as they did in CK I?

I think it's based on your income.

[Solmyr]

Mouseover your max retinue size and it should tell you what affects it. To add troops just use the right-hand column.

[Admiral Yi]

Where is the max retinue size?

[Liep]

Where is the max retinue size?

It's a mix of number of holdings and technology, you can find it under the Retinue tab under military screen next to levies.

[Admiral Yi]

Yeah, that tab is grayed out for me and when I click on it nothing happens.

Maybe only kings and above get them?  I'm playing as a duke.

That could be the case, I think it said 6 per holding, and you need at least a 1000. Maybe later when your tech adds enough to get you above the 1000 mark.

duke and above iirc

[Admiral Yi]

Next question:

Is there a way to find out when the current ruler began his reign, so I can know when it's getting close to my 10 year time to change the law time?

Click on your realm's coat of arms, and then on History.
