Update 48- The Slow Slow Slough (Part 3)

happened to me in my current game as leon as well... one day two hordes of 20k mongols each crossed the pyrenees and went straight for portugal. they were standing around in silves for some years without any hostilities happening (and no attrition either), while the il-khanate was falling apart on the other side of the world. then one fine summer day half of them vanished and the other half marched back over the pyrenees. was a bit scary seeing those huge stacks stand around there, while i was fighting uprisings with my max personal 7k troops all around them, after some unpopular policy changes (reconquista first, kindness later).

maybe they just check how far you can walk before you must swim.

Update 49-Ending a Civil War (Mostly)

Question: Do revolts like this continue even if you have the offender whacked? I was tempted to start playing this, and when I had a revolt, I tried having the offender whacked, which caused the war to end "inconclusively". You have like $1000. Surely having them whacked is much cheaper than traipsing through Germany for months on end?

Also, it occurs to me that "Kaiser" is totally a cooler title, what with it being derived from "Caesar".

There is also a Kaisar title.... for the Crown Prince of Romaion. Nice Update I usualy quit at this moment couse large countries are pain to hold thanks to rabid vasals. Strange thing I noticed Wales is de iure Kingdom when Larger and more powerfull Britany is not.... Also how to obtain new Titular King titles?

After the latest patch, assassinating a Duke costs 150. You'll also have very shitty chances of succeeding unless you move your Spymaster to the target's location, and you can only do that every 6 months. Finally, all of those vassals are rebelling because of global relationship penalties, and not personal reasons. So, you whack a Duke, and his successor will likely also rebel the moment he assumes power.

Well, what I usually do is whack all their successors first: Those guys would be Not-Dukes and therefore both easier and cheaper to whack than whacking a succession of dukes. At that point, their title will revert to the crown due to lack of successors, and then you whack him. As a side benefit, most of them probably live in one place, making it easier for your spymaster to whack them.

Admittedly, like you said, the 6 months thing, so at best you can get in two whacking sprees in a row, by moving, waiting, whacking, moving, and then whacking some more.

Far as I can tell, the only way to acquire any manner of Titular title is inherit it or a claim on it: Without any land, you can't usurp it. In one game I was able to get King of Nubia by pledging to him, then having his heirs and then him whacked, causing me to inherit the title, as the only vassal. After keeping the Caliph distracted, I'm preparing to take over one or more Caliphates through the claims method: Any time someone dies, all their children receive inheritable claims, so if you grab a Princess (or a Prince, but harder), your grandchild will be able to press this claim in war later. A useful means of collecting odd Emperor titles.

This is dead, or?

Yeah probably. I have updated CK2 now. I might come back to it at some point though and just see what kind of fubar the update causes. I had reached the point I always reach in pdox games where I pretty much lose all will to continue because it was just going to be tedium in all likely hood.

It was fun while it lasted.
