Paradox Games II

[The Huskar Social Union]

Bad Poland! Get back in your cage!

That reminds me. I forgot to complain about how, in three successive wars with Muscovy, the Commonwealth never took Moskva. If the Commonwealth and I weren't such passionate lovers until the end of time, I probably would have lynched him for it.

Notice in that dev diary that multiple posters ask if the new Liberty Desire mechanics will fuck up Revoke The Privilegia, and Paradox ignores the question, but answers ones asked before and after it.

That's answer enough imo.
They forgot about it, and are probably engaged in a mad dash to fix it either before release, or the first patch.

So i'd avoid any HRE-Emperorship games for a bit, unless you want to have an immediate war occur when you revoke the privilegia and all your vassals go apeshit with their combined strength overwhelming you.

I love paradox, and I even love these little fuckups they have. Makes me chuckle.
Remember when cheats worked in ironman?

There was a time cheats worked in ironman? Didn't know that but doesn't surprise me.
What I do remember is that early after the game achievements were really bugged so you could start as certain countries and immediately get achievements tied to them.
So I still have the Jihad achievement from having merely loaded up Najd in Ironman and I think the Congo Achievement "african power" or the like as well.

Yehhh.
Steam really needs an "abandon achievement" button.

I've been playing a CK2: After the End game as House Ashur, which rules over the independent county of Yohoganiaat the beginning of the game from the iron throne of Pittsburgh.

I began the game by immediately swearing my allegiance to my neighbors, Transalleghenia; though Pittsburgh is very well-defended, I was the sole Catholic in the region. As a one-county duke surrounded by bloodthirsty tribesmen, this is a dangerous position. Besides, Transalleghenia - I expected - was a natural enemy of the M-tribe-whose-I've-not-learned that held Pittsburgh's duchy at the time, Westsylvania. I expected, wrongly, some aide in taking it.

I, Count Ishmael, quickly ingratiated myself to a succession of three Transalleghenian oligarchs through general deference, likeability, and public service - I served twice as Steward, thrice as Marshal, and commanded the Transalleghenian armies in my youth against West Tennesse (or some such), beginning an expansion Transalleghenia was more or less incapable of acting on. Though Transalleghenia adopted a largely sedentary foreign policy, fighting only to defend their fellow Rust Cultists from the encroaching powers of Miami Valley and Detroit, they still protected me from any foreign invasion, which was greatly useful.

Ishmael came with a young daughter with no mother, whom I betrothed matrilineally to the heir to Holy Columbian Confederacy; the boy was Weak and had generally poor stats, so his father was quick to allow the matrilineal betrothal in order to have an excuse to disown him. No matter; Prince Beauregard is a very skilled Diplomat despite his weakness, and mayhaps I can press his claim once his father dies. I myself married a Countess of Essex (the Canadian one), who bore me three children, including my heir Alfraed. She died young and I married a courtier with high Diplomacy (to make up for my own lack thereof), and Alfraed took Essex at around age 6. He become a count under Detroit, whose power grew greatly in Canada, placing their capital in Edmonton. (As an aside, Detroit's current overseer is thus named Wayne Gretson. Draw your own conclusions.)

Early on, I fought in a failed crusade for Louisiana; shortly after our loss, a hurricane devastated the Louisiana coast, so we could easily have attacked a month later and won. But no matter. Through trickery and treachery, I fabricated a claim on my neighbors; Mahoning, whom I struck while at war with Miami Valley (now Ohio), and Wheeling, a fellow vassal of Transalleghenia. I had first fabricated a claim on the capital of Westsylvania, Greensburg, and attacked it once my power had been built sufficiently. I had to take out a loan for the mercenaries I needed, and thus was badly in debt.

But I won the war, and shortly thereafter, their Oligarch died. I easily crushed her young son in a second war and took Laurel Highlands - yes, I know, not worth it - and gained enough land to usurp Westsylvania.

Then I died.

Alfraed inherited my five counties, as I had early switched to Primogeniture, and for a brief moment of time Pittsburgh was ruled by Detroit. No matter; Afraed was positively rich, so I easily usurped the title. Now I plan to pay off my debts, finish my conquests of Westsylvania, and marry the Duchess of the Finger Lakes. At age 15, Alfraed is already in good position to fulfill his legacy and reunite the Commonwealth under Pittsburgh's banners.

As is only right.

Right. I've got After the End installed, and it appears on the mods list, but doesn't actually appear anywhere in game when I load it. Anyone got any ideas what the issue could be?

did you download into mod folder in documents because that was my problem. i had downloaded it to the mod folder within the files of the actual game folder

Yup, since I downloaded it to where all my other mods were.

I occupied the entire Ursuline See, but apparently that wasn't enough to get me an instawin of the Crusade. It was, however, enough to get me a White Peace, so I no longer have to worry about that. The holy war isn't going as well, but it's going better than it was. The warscore was in the high 80s when I realized that my enemies had occupied the entire wargoal, and much of their warscore came from that. I sent my army into one of the provinces and reclaimed it, resetting the warscore to the 30s. I'm currently going after their capital, because I don't have the troops to face them or the money to hire mercs.

Is there a more specific date for El Dorado release than February 2015?

I was thinking of getting that CK2plus mod, has anyone else here played it?

I played it once long ago, many moons back.

[Transoxthraxia]

Worth it, seriously. Overhauls and balances the game.

[Shaggai]

I lost the Duchy of Penobscot to the Maritimes. Luckily, several of the Maritime vassals revolted, giving me an opportunity to press the previous Duke's claim. Soon New England shall be restored to its former glory.

Is there a list anywhere of what other mods are compatible with it? Or would be best to just use it on its own?

It incorporates a number of mods, so I'd just use it as a standalone.

Okay thanks, off to download it now on the workshop.

I had the same problem.

1. Make sure it is downloaded in documents/paradox interactive/ crusader kings 2/mods

2. If that isn't the problem, make sure you have disabled the tutorial. Having it try to activate can make the mod crash

3. If you have done that and it didn't work. Try going into the flag folder and deleting the double Great Lakes, it's like number 4280

After moving files around, I've finally got After the End to work.

Currently playing as the Rust Cultist Tycoon of Michigan and am about to move on Detroit, and I stand to inherit the duchies of Burning River and the one surrounding Pittsburg.

So ive started a new CK2 game using CK2plus, started as the count of Ulster in the Charlamagne start and so far every thing is going smoothly. Ive established the high chiefdom of Ulster and maintain one of the largest armies in Ireland. Though England has already formed which is quite worrisome, as has the Kingdom of Francia though its called Neustria or something along those lines, and its taken over Denmark which is odd.

However recently i went on a raid into southern Scotland, i captured the Earl of Galloway and the High Chief of Strathclyde, and his entire family.

With a single strike, i can kill this entire house... it is very tempting as no one will care since they are from an enemy country.. but at the same time goes against my characters principles, he is a just man and should not do such a thing but.. maybe.

No. You are a just man. Ransom his family, keep him in chains if you wish to do so, but you shan't execute him, milord.

Either executing him serves a strategic purpose, or it does not. If it doesn't, money is always good. If it does...well, that's where things get interesting.

Well... i kind of did it for the lols really..

and it there is no ransom option on him, only let go or kill. And one of his kids already died like a day after i captured her so that leaves four, three boys and one girl. And then the other earl, and also a bishop. Those two ill probably sell.

I guess killing them all could throw the duchy of Strathclyde into anarchy for a bit, could lead to some fighting between different claimants. That could serve my purpose if i decide to strike into southern scotland.
