CK2 - Monarch's Journey - New Ruler Challenges [UPDATE JAN. 10]

[gekj]

You have diplomatic range with few hindus countries, at the west of india.

Just spam bribe/buy favor/invit courtiers from there and you can insta convert them. Quite easy, juste need gold.

Same for temple, just need gold.


For the 1st one, declare a holy war to conquer the rest of the de jure Yemen at east, and wait 100 years.

Same for German - I found the following text in the game files though:

Under Arwa's rule Yemen prospered.
* Hold the title Sultanate of Yemen, and have complete control over all of Yemen's de jure counties.
* Progress continues for as long as you play the featured ruler's Dynasty.

Sous le règne d'Arwa, le Yémen a prospéré.
* Détenez le titre de Sultanat du Yémen et contrôlez tous les comtés de jure du Yémen.
* La progression se poursuit tant que vous jouez la dynastie du dirigeant mis en avant.
Unter Arwas Herrschaft gedieh der Jemen.
* Haltet den Titel Sultanat von Jemen und habt die vollständige Kontrolle über alle De-Jure-Grafschaften von Jemen.
* Der Fortschritt geht so lange weiter, wie Ihr die Dynastie des vorgestellten Herrschers spielt.

Yemen prosperó bajo el gobierno de la reina Arwa.
* Mantén el título del Sultanato de Yemen y ten el control completo sobre todos los condados de iure de Yemen.
* El progreso continuará mientras juegues con la dinastía del gobernante presentado.

The other two requirements seem to be to hold temples (not personally seems to be fine) and to convert people to Shia (any source religion seems to be fine)

The convert hindus to shia challenge seems to be not working as intended though. It progressed for me even when I converted characters that were not hindu. So it became quite easy mode when I could just convert sunnis, while still being able to complete the challenge.

Edit: Also you do not need to build any temples apparently, you just need to hold so many in your realm which means you can just do a few conquests to complete it.

I wish I checked the thread earlier... Instead I married a hindu after my husband died. I landed him to generate more hindus and gave them baronies. I started murder plots on them and only demanded conversion when the plot fired.

You don't need to find Hindus to convert, I got gold by only converting Sunnis into Shia. About temples, at first I thought you had to BUILD new temples, but actually you can easily complete the mission by conquering them! Getting the whole Yemen is tougher; island of Socotra is easy but the other 2 areas are parts of a big, powerful Empire.

Converting Hindues was easy, save enough money/find characters/sort by opinion/bribe the ones in the -20's that aren't councilors/buy favor/force invite/if they won't accept conversion right away give them some minor titles or let them sit in court for a year or so and win some holy wars. The part I found challenging was getting an alliance with the Fatmids to take on the turks but that eventually sorted itself out.

If it's part of an Empire it should be possible to swear fealty and then expand within to gain the counties needed. I don´t think you are required to be independent to gett that particular objective done.

After golding the conversion and temple things, I was only 2 points away from the final reward. I could have just waited for the next challenge and grabbed some low hanging fruit, but I ended up just doing the 100 year thing.
Now that I have all the cosmetics, feel free to release CK3 now.

 

[Dadoverde]

Still in the 100 years thing, but by now, an enjoyable run. First of all, grab all the counties to the desmene of two Yemeni duchies at start.

- Temples count any of built, so a bit of spread through West Arabia and Ethiopia (Check that not all counties have a temple built). As money is not a difficult matter in that region, actually build a pair of temples is possible.
- The Hindus conversion. Ok, I didn't read until now the trick, so I went the playable way. Hindus is not like other challenges easy to call... you're a female unchasted foreign unbeliever, so a general bad opinion is set. Also, India falls far from Socotra and little diplomatic range is available. Ok, jump across the ocean with a fabricated claim... but... wait, where's my strong claim??!!
For some reason, there's this small sentence a little hidden: "The claims of female Muslims can't be pressed, not even if they are your personal claims."
So... instant change to Nestorian or whatever prayed in Ethiopia, press claim, back to Shia. Phew.
Then, holy war for a nearby zone. For example, Goa. There are landed Hindu characters under control now (counts or baronies). Save the game, and give titles, money, etc, make them happy, and convert. Some interesting work, just to say this challenge... if correctly played.
- Hold all Yemen for a HUNDRED years. This means two counties in Seljuk hands, that is a lot of pain strating from 4K troops against 12+K. Recipe is the usual: Develop, train, and wait until Seljuks make something weak and attack with your camels and mercs. And then... wait. And wait. And wait. Must be a joke of the designer make us wait a hundred years. Of course, we love this game and instead setting the 5-speed button, is a time to form Arabian Empire, enjoy fighting crusades, and "I want to be Caliph instead of the Caliph".

I was crusing easily for the 100 years Yemen occupation, when the clock stopped; nothing happened, I didn't lose any control at all but after 100 years the Somali coast I conquered at start become part of Yemen, and they happen to be under control of my most powerful Emir/Duke. What now? Revoke the titles? But I'm still the big bad King around here, why the clock stopped ticking?
