It's something that has bugged me for some time : can we change the religion of a vassal mercenary band ?
It seems they are hardcoded to be a specific religion and it's annoying to capture a title and gaining the bands if they always dislike you because you are not their religion ....
I especially think to the legions, when you play as Neapolis and you capture S.P.Q.R then you have these annoying vassals that are catholics and you can't convert them.
 
This may just be me, but shouldn't the kingdom of Palmyra also include... well, the city of Palmyra? It's just kinda unclear to me why that should be considered a part of Mesopotamia de jure rather than the kingdom named after it.

Also, wouldn't it make more sense for the Kingdom of Illyria to be a de jure possession of SPQR rather than the Eastern Roman Empire?
 
Any chance of an official release before Charlemagne?
 
I don't think Riknap's schedule will allow it.

this, sadly. charlemagne comes out at october 14... bloody too early.
I earlier guessed I might be able to spare time if my thesis first defence was a success. ...Well, we got massacred in the first round of our thesis defence, with only 2/20 groups passing [the chink in my group's defence was that wording I used ... had unintended interpretations, and the panel focused on those details alone ( like an archer shooting a hundred arrows at a full plate armor's fissure to make it crack open :rofl: ) ], so now we have to redefend... at roughly the same time as our finals week.

in short, what little free time I do have, I use it to keep my sanity afloat :laugh:

...
I'm going to stop making excuses now, ahahaha.
Anyway, while I'm unable to spare much time to help, at the very least I set aside an hour or so daily trawling these forums, so at the very least I can pitch in if the time frame required lasts shorter than that :laugh:

We all know thesis tribunals are just looking out for some fun at our expense. I got blasted because I didn't mention some early Ottoman documents present now in Edirne OR Crete (depending on who you ask) and the judges just didn't have anythign better to do.

Hum... may I ask, as a former student of Ottoman history, what was your thesis about? ;)
(yes, off-topic)

The title was "Iberian trade networks and mercantile policies in the XVth Century Eastern Mediterranean", roughly translated. Most of the documents I needed to check Aragonese trade and relations with the Byzantines and the Ottomans were not in Greece or Turkey, but here in Barcelona. Some were not (some were in Naples, some in Genoa...) but the authors that had peaked at the matter before had done a good job cataloguing Greek and Turkish documents on the matter.

It was interesting to see that Aragon and Genoa were competing to do in Greece what Aragon and Castille already did in Northern Africa: "colonise" the place politically by introducing a system of Western guards and barracks that would act as guard for the local king or prince, control trade, etc, but would also be a front of lobby for both Aragon and Genoa. It didn't work so well (Morocco, Bougia, Tunis and Algiers were practically hostage states of Castille, the formers, and Aragon, the latters) because the Ottomans already called all the shots in the early 1400's, and because 1453 happened and the Byzantine Empire disappeared.

Off-topic off.

That actually sounds like an interesting thesis. I've always liked readings about mercantile struggles.

And here I am with my lowly systems technician and computer repair technician degrees. Never had the nerve to get into computer science or engineering.

It is really hard to "fail" a thesis on history in Spain, when most of the time the tribunal barely knows how to breath :p
 
As a more on topic note, I think the Emperor of the ERE (of the Julianos Dynasty) needs at least a single kid. 9/10 times I've played through he ends up getting murdered within a few years by his automatic heir, the Skleros Doux, thus wiping out the bloodline of Julian right off the bat.

Agree. He may need an alliance too with the Rhomaion Julio-Argeads. Marry him with the sister of the Argead King or something and add him a son and an underage daughter.
 
Those of you playing SVN: is it your perception that you aren't having enough children to preserve your bloodline?

Yes.

I've had game overs in the latest SVN version with lustful characters who were married to wives of varying (young) age with multiple concubines for 30+ years.

Either they never had children, or the children died REALLY young.
 
I guess I overcompensated with the fertility balance then (in an attempt to have fewer characters and see if the mid/late-game lag can be reduced further).
feel free to revert it to the values before (IIRC I basically halved a couple of defines values and a handful of others, though I believe I didn't touch most of the rest)
 
It is kinda anticlimactic to have half the trait bloodlines die out within the first generation or two of play.
 
Fear not, the fertility nerf has been reverted.
