How can I speed up the spread of culture in Crusader Kings II? These fucking Greeks just won't deal with the new management.
[QUOTE=DaysBefore;39465128]How can I speed up the spread of culture in Crusader Kings II? These fucking Greeks just won't deal with the new management.[/QUOTE]
There are 2 culture change events. 1 is for different religions and has a relatively modifiable MTTH. The 2nd requires the target province to border a province of the culture it's switching to. The 2nd event is the one that's going to be spreading all the culture (eventually), but the problem is that it fires on a [I]per character[/I] basis, so don't hand out more than 1 county to one dude. It also has a normal MTTH of like 100 years, reduced by 25% for every 1 level of stewardship over 6 (up to 11 or so iirc).
Basically:
Put 1 count per 1 province (make sure they are all your culture)
Make sure the counts have as high stewardship as possible
Wait
Personally I have a mod for it, with a few of my own tweaks added.
[QUOTE=yawmwen;39464881]it's generally easier to manage a smaller group of vassals than a larger group.[/QUOTE]
Exactly, that's why my heir controls every single duchy title except for two I keep for myself.
[QUOTE=StaticFit;39464889]
Yeah, but who cares if one guy hates me if he controls a single county?[/QUOTE]
that doesn't really happen. generally if one count hates you, several others hate you as well(or at least will join an independence faction). also this doesn't stop counts from gaining power and taking more counties. also, every count will hate you since they will desire duchy titles.
i find it's a whole lot easier to simply leave it to dukes to deal with insubordinate and rebellious counts, and your job to deal with insubordinate and rebellious dukes.
In my games when counts rebel, dukes never do anything to stop the insurrection in their duchy. Am I just raising the duke's levies before they can or something?

i'v seen them stop insurrections so i know for a fact that they do it.
i'v actually seen fairly large civil wars within my own empire.

like 3 dukes fighting against a king for a kingdom title.
it's pretty cool to watch.
[B]Crusader Kings II Old Gods[/B]
[quote]Paradox are finally ready to unleash the Pagans, or at least they are finally ready to announce that they will unleash the Pagans in the near future. The Old Gods expansion for Crusader Kings II won’t just allow players to control Pagan leaders, with all new mechanics and events, it will also open up a new start date of 867 AD. Details are scarce but I did speak with members of the studio about raids and Viking bands. Raids sound like a sort of terror event, with bands sprouting from the woodlands and wilds once a trigger is hit, falling under the leadership of a nearby ruler. Their numbers are not tied to the provinces that leader controls, so they can quickly become overwhelming. Trailer follows.[/quote]

I wonder if I can willingly convert to Christianity as a Pagan.
Like Miesko of Poland, since Poland became Christian about a century after 867.
Polond stronk.
so I started a new game of Vicy 2 at the Civil War Bookmark observing as Haiti
Everything was mostly the same, US won the Civil war, Canada was Granted independence, then suddenly France is conquering Spain.
the UK also bought Alaska instead of America.

Oh man, my 13-year-old king just learned the trait lustful from his fat Moorish 40-year-old aunt after a party.

Reminds me of my 9 year old king that became an alcoholic after his steward took him to a pre-hunt brothel.
I find it hilarious when 7 year olds go to brothels.
In Hearts of Iron 3 - TFH the A.I isn't as passive as they used to be.
Despite threat level spy shenanigan I can no longer annex Switzerland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia in year 1937 without allieds declaring war on me (Des Dritte Reich).
Fuck you allieds no fun allowed serious mode 24/7/12 demobilized country neutrality 100% no huge military friends with everyone forever
Well, doing so does count as crossing the line drawn in the sand by LoN, so you should follow the lines of history and/or do some passive wars(act as a passive aggressive Germany, make other minors DoW you instead of you DoWing them) before jumping the gun, unless you're more than ready to go to war in '37.

Actually, this reminds me of that one AAR where a guy won WW2 by not aggro-ing the Allies, yet using a nice counter-attack based combat doctrine that landed him great victories against Poland, UK and France, although he did almost loose against the USSR. The fact that he didn't whore out the borders across all of Europe also helped in controlling the war theaters.
DoW?

Declaration of War. DoWing somebody [i]most of the time[/i] knocks down your neutrality and increases your threat by a ton if you don't know what you're doing, and the AI is pretty paranoid about war mongers as of TFH.

How's it even possible to make minors DoW you? Bunching up troops on the borders? Embargoing? Spamming military access treaties?

Careful political handling via spy menu. Germany has it easier, however, because some wars are kind of scripted to trigger in the 40's, so you might not even come off as an aggressor for some reason.

There's also a couple of suspended gems in there as well, such as the Balkan-related non-Ottoman AAR's, and some other primitive nations AARs. Really, you should check out the LibrAARy and see if there's anything that you find interesting that's also marked "complete", bear in mind, however, that it doesn't necessarily have to be completed to be a good AAR; many AARs ended up getting suspended for various reasons, and they still turned out great.
Now that I now to create and distribute duchies. Is it also reasonable to distribute kingdom's as well once your realm is large enough? If so what milestones should be passed before I start handing out kingdoms?
Only distribute kingdoms if you have an empire. If not, the realm splits.

You need a title of emperor, or else you'll loose parts of your realm if you hand out your kingdom titles.
Wait what.

that was fucking amazing read
What benefits are there to distributing kingdom titles instead of just hoarding them?
[QUOTE=StaticFit;39473882]What benefits are there to distributing kingdom titles instead of just hoarding them?[/QUOTE]
same benefit of distributing duchies and not destroying the title and hoarding the vassals. a small number of vassals is easier to manage than a larger number. plus if you have a duke in the de jure kingdom of croatia, that duke will always have a negative relationship modifier "desires kingdom of croatia". why not let another vassal handle all that relationship bullshit instead of you having to deal with every single duke in an assumably(since it's multiple kingdoms) large empire.
[QUOTE=StaticFit;39473882]What benefits are there to distributing kingdom titles instead of just hoarding them?[/QUOTE]
Less vassal micromanagement is an advantage, worse rebellions are a large possibility, especially if one king usurps the other king's throne, bloating his kingdom under your nose.
and as long as you keep an incredibly strong demesne and some skillfull politics, kingdom revolts shouldn't be [i]too[/i] much of a threat.

when that happens you gotta imprison and banish immediately. pay no mind to tyranny, if someone gets two kingdoms then they are a serious threat.
