Was it an inheritance issue?

Did someone with claims flee to the HRE and move over that way?

I didn't see any troops or a battle. Shouldn't have been an inheritance issue. I actually appointed that duke with my new king. It does say the Kaiser has a claim to it and can start an inheritance crisis.
The Kaiser had no presence in Scotland. His only presence is the islands directly to the north of Scotland. That is where he calls the Capitol of the HRE.

Crusader Kings II 75% off on Steam, plus the older CK2 DLC is 75% off on Steam, as a celebration of the newest expansion, Legacy of Rome, releasing.
Means CK2 is $10 for as long as the sale runs, which I don't know how long that is. Gonna pick up Sword of Islam and Legacy of Rome, though. Sword of Islam is $2.50 with the 75% off, Legacy of Rome is $4.99 release price. There's also the African portraits DLC for $2, plus some other cosmetic DLC like unit sprites and music for SoI/LoR for those interested.

I haven't looked anywhere to read about it, but from my own experience the new DLC seems to break wars between vassals. Every war in my realm turns into a decade plus war of armies standing around doing nothing.
Currently I have two wars going on in my realm that could easily be ended, but the army that is winning has decided to take their troops home and have them standing around doing nothing instead of finishing the war off. I saw it earlier too and that Earl took two of the Duke's holdings in his primary county, retreated his army to his own county, and then returned seven years later to take the final holding. All without disbanding said army. I've seen it three times in about 80 years of play with the new DLC.

Ironically, I've seen this without downloading the DLC - wars of stalemates that last 50 years without anything happening. Its not unprecedented, but it is annoying. |

Yea it is annoying. They shouldn't be stalemates either. I had an Earl stand 1200 troops a county away from a Duke who had 120 troops. He kept them there without pressing the attack long enough for the war score to go from +80% all the way to -100%. Was one of the two that I was talking about that I had going on. EDIT: I have another Duke who has two groups of troops that want to meet up. So they keep going to move to the next county(they are one county apart). They then realize they are both moving now and then reset. They have been doing this for three years. Another Duke joined a crusade. He called up all his troops, loaded them up in ships, and now four years later they still sit in those same ships in port. The other battle I was talking about seems to have ended with the dreadful Duke of the Isles capturing most of the Duke of Ulster's holdings, but then taking his army back across the Irish sea to stand idle in Argyll rather than finish the war. I can't accept that this is the same game I was playing before the DLC.

Yeah just saw this. Stupid IMO. The first time they've released a DLC I have zero interest in.

I see what they are doing though. They are just utilizing the Mongul Horde feature in reverse.

I'll probably get this anyway, just to use the character designer to create a European who follows the Aztec gods and spread the religion across Europe. (Assuming the Aztec worshipper would be playable. If not, I won't get it.)

Oh my god, the nerd rage on Paradox over the announcement is HILARIOUS. I've laughed so hard my stomach hurts reading that epic 45 page thread.

What the hell. I think it is a good idea. Not a good idea to appeal to everyone, but a little bit of strange spice on the side for those that want to experiment. Lots of history buffs that like paradox games probably also like forms of alternative history fiction....
And its a DLC for God's sake. You can just ignore it if you want. Can't believe anyone would go out of there way to fret over it. |

This sounds more like a fan mod that I would never play than actual DLC. I'm not nerd raging, I just think it sounds... dumb.

Well to be fair, it does give the West something to do in mid-late game besides sitting around being blobby. Fatamids are a danger in the South, Mongols/Golden Horde a threat in the East, but nothing in the West. Also, looking at some of the events, etc., this is a rather brilliant inversion of the European conquest of the Americas in many respects, especially little events like trading colored beads for land.

I don't think I will pick up this DLC either.
Combat/warfare in this game is not all that great and, overall, pretty dull and boring. I see it as just a necessary evil to expand your empire and get to the fun stuff, the politics and the more RPG-type aspects of the game.

Anyone know why a Crusade won't end. The Pope called a Crusade for France, which has long since been lost to the Muslim nations.
We are currently at 100%, and I'm actually in the lead ATM and would stand to gain the title King of France and all the lands, but the damn guys won't end the Crusade.

Never let your ruler lead an army when his wife is pregnant with his only child.
I did. My ruler died in battle and his sister, the current heir to his throne, became my new ruler. The sister who was married off to some distant relative in a far off country. The sister with the really weak stats. When the child was born he got nothing. Oh, and a new patch is out. |

I have a question for the vets here. I'm still fairly new to the game and I have something that I can't find an answer for.
When I click on one of my territories and look at the little box that shows up in the lower left corner, just below the castle in the upper right there is the little icon for my levies. If I mouse over it says something like "915/915" and lists the breakdown of the infantry, cavalry, etc. The little bar is very small though and when I go up to the Military button at the top of the screen, it says that my personal levies are something like 183 (or 20% of what I should have). How can I raise that number up closer to the 915? Is it my ruler's martial rating? Have I ticked off my marshal? Any help would be greatly appreciated as my ruler is feeling a little underprotected. |

I'm going to guess the rest of the 915 belongs to your vassals(add their number to yours and see if you get 915). Your personal levy will be those soldiers that come directly from your lands. The rest of your army, or levy, will come from that of your vassal's lands. In this instance, with you only controlling 20% of the realms army I would advise you not to piss off your vassals. If the 915 IS truly your potential personal levy strength then you just need to wait. I'm guessing you probably just fought a war and lost troops. Over time they will replenish. The way you are most likely to take big hits to your current levy is by losing troops to war and/or by disbanding units in foreign lands. ALWAYS bring your troops home before you disband them or you take a huge hit to the actual number that returns home. EDIT: Actually, without having the game pulled up, I'm going to guess that the numbers aren't going to add because 915 is the vassal levy and 183 is your personal levy. You need to take your vassal's lands if you want to have a powerful personal army. I'm guessing you are a small-time lord at this point? Maybe a Duke? You should probably be in control of ALL of your Earl titles and ALL of your castles in order to get done what you want to get done.

My guess is that your crown authority law is currently set to "low". On the Military screen if you mouse over where it says 183 the hint window or tool tip window that pops up probably says crown law limits you to 20%. If you press "F4" or click on the second button at the top left (the little gavel) you will bring up the Law screen. If you look at the bottom, the very first item is Crown Authority. My guess is that this is currently set to "low". To increase that 20% to 40% which will double your levies, you will have to raise crown authority up one level. I don't remember exactly, but I believe you then have to wait a certain amount of time before you can raise crown authority to the next level, increasing from 40% to 60% of your vassels' levies Last edited by twothree : 01-16-2013 at 07:53 PM. |

For more infomation: I'm the Duke of Holland (part of the Holy Roman Empire). I have a vassal that is the Count of Westfriesland. I know I have to keep my vassals happy to get them to give me levies; these are my personal levies. I have another 699 from my vassals. Under the Imperial Laws of the Holy Roman Empire it says Absolute Crown Authority. Under Ducal Laws they are set to feudal levies: normal; feudal taxation:none, city levies, taxation, church levies:normal; church taxation: normal. I think it has something to do with the Holy Roman Empire Laws. When I mouse-over the Absolute Crown Authority it says something about 80% min levies for burghers, nobles and clergy. |

Yes, the HRE is taking 80% of your personal levies, since you are under them and they are at absolute crown authority. |

yeah, playing as Vikings in England or Russia should be pretty fun. Plus, in Russia you´d have the long term goal of getting ready for the Mongols in the early 13th century.
I wonder though if you´d need all other expansion for it too work ? Really don´t have any ambition to pick of the Republic expansion...

No. Each DLC is completely separate.
Also, some other updates. Although the primary focus is on Vikings, there will be unique content for all the pagan religions and Zoroastrianism Furthermore, it's also been officially confirmed that Mongols will be playable.

I've been without a decent computer for the last year and finally remedied that yesterday, just in time for a pretty good deal on Amazon on game.
Amazon.com: Crusader Kings Pack [Download]: Video Games That's the base game plus I believe all available DLC/Expansions for ten bucks. Seems like a great deal for any latecomers like myself. |

You can certainly save a lot by not buying games at release when there are deals like this and games are often 50% off within a month or two after release.
