So I just recently got the road to power expansion/DLC and am trying to play in the byzantibe empire with the new administrative governance style. In previous games, with feudalism, I had to tediously manage my succession through disinheritance and utilizing celibacy to limit the amount of children overall.

Is this no longer something I need to worry about with this new governance style and associated succession laws? From my understanding I could simply use my influence to try and get whichever child I preferred to be my heir rather than worry about celibacy and disinheritance. Is this correct?

Or are there significant penalties against the non-first born child/male heir that would make it mich more difficult to have the election go in favor of an alternative preferred heir - currently my second male son has preferred traits…

Gay pregnancy in general, a woman and man is unnatural why is it the only option available to us. I would love to see the chaos that a gay pregnancy mod would result in and I'm sure it'd be popular.

I’m playing a Haesteinn run and I noticed I obviously don’t have much leeway anymore in terms of his lifespan. I’m at the point of deciding to rewind to a much earlier save.

Do you guys nowadays put a conscious effort into getting the befriend perk, have lovers, avoid traveling etc. Does it mitigate aging significantly?

Started as a landless adventurer, stewardship focused, wanted to make a ton of cash and basically make a ton of family heirlooms for future generations. Success. End up with about 4k gold after a very long life at 60, retiring in Byzantium after purchasing an estate. The emperor dies first year im a noble house. The successor is someone I did a contract for. +100 relation. My son turns 16. New emperor has 1 yr old daughter. I propose marriage with a hook and grand wedding, success. Did I just go from a merchant to an emperor in 1 generation lmao.

Also am I screwing myself out of an experience by jumping so high in rank? Do you guys think I should cancel it and play the noble game longer rather than becoming the most power ruler in tbe game lol

Im playing after the tutorial, my guy dies from the Island Flu since I didnt isolate for some reason. I play as his son that's constantly shivering and dying. Dies within the year and now I'm a 9 year old girl that cant do shit and my Regent is doing corrupt shit lol and everyone hates me with a negative 40+ rating. My ten year old Uncle just got raided by 2400 vikings from a place called Island where the fucking flu came from. My 5 year old sister just got raided by King William of England. Literally went from unifying my island to my whole family getting ass fucked by consumption.

hahah pretty fun

I’m the Emperor of the HRE and I really want to vassalize the pope. I’m his rightful liege after usurping the kingdom of Romagna from a previous pope a while ago and I’ve maxed out every other aspect I can think of that increases success like diplomacy, true ruler, army size, reputation, etc. I’ve befriended him, made an alliance, learned his language but I’m still -2 away from being able to vassalize him. I can’t increase culture acceptance with him like I did with his Italian predecessor (who I had to kill because he was paranoid which gives -20) as he’s Swedish and I have no Swedish counties I can send my steward to to increase culture acceptance. Nor can I travel to any Swedish counties with a culture embasador like I did with Italy as Sweden has no holy sights. And I don’t have any census belli on any Swedish counties.

I could murder him and hope to get another Italian (or a culture I have territory in so I can use it to increase culture acceptance) but there’s a chance his replacement has a trait like paranoid or stubborn that gives negative vassalization chance. This guy is literally perfect except that he’s Swedish. I can dejure seize all of his territory but I’m really trying to avoid war with the head of my religion.

Anything else I can try?

45 die in a fire .... What can i do to make sure this is not happening again ?

Had a thought about this and looked into it.

It doesn’t seem like hashish will be a trade good in the upcoming expansion.
Although it wasn’t a well organized trade commodity during the period, it was abundant in Persia and India etc.

Anyone else think it would be awesome to role play as a hashish kingpin and create trade lines across realms?

Hello, i have a problem withe the aGOT mods. Via Steam, i can only sub to the principal one (the big one), but the other one, when i sub to them, i don't appear on my paradox launcher.

Any idea on how to fix that ?
