How common was it for those of Byzantine culture to castrate and/or blind their prisoners? In the game it seems that no one ever leaves a Byzantine prison without one or the other.

A blind king of Bohemia John the Blind 1310-1346 did lead his troops in several battes, so why not?

Blinded characters should not be penalized for running from a duel. You wouldn't take morale damage for doing that as a commander known to be blind, and you certainly shouldn't run a chance at getting the craven trait for it. Maybe your duel opponent just ought to recognize that you are freaking blind and, rather than fight a duel, simply choose to spare you or slay you where you stand.
The Duel Engine should simply not target blind characters in the interim. Assume they're relatively safe behind the lines. Immediate problem solved.
Please ask jordarkelf to add support/consideration for blinded characters in his next update of the New Duel Engine, in its thread here. The NDE update will be directly integrated into PB.
There doesn't even have to be a historical precedent, although that is really interesting. Effective high-level command, in truth, is only limited by blindness in, well, the difficulty of reading maps. The rest is management, morale, and cunning tactics. Field commanders would be taking care of all the actual visual coordination during an in-progress melee in any case, blind leader or not. Only a few nobles of the minimum rank represented by CKII fit that sort of role, aside from the exceptions where aristocrat warriors insisted on leading their own levies personally.
If he had attempted so, it would've surely been his last attempt.
Definitely, I'm a proponent of a) allowing blinded commanders, and b) the Duel Engine treating blindness appropriately, though it's an annoyingly rare case for which to add extra text, so it should simply not target blinded characters and let them enjoy a relatively risk-free life leading troops (seriously, we're talking about very few blinded characters leading armies here).
Side note: Interestingly, now that it is a health trait, it can be cured by some events that cure illnesses. Hrm.
Anything that does:
Code:
cure_illness = yesmay very well beat blindness now. This may not be a permanent feature.
I can only find one event chain in vanilla which uses the "cure_illness" command, and that's an on_action event chain which only fires for mystics. Given the chances of actually getting that event are tiny, I'm thinking it's probably not a big deal.
Yes. And there are also justing events popin up instead of actual duel events.
Guys Ive had this bug twice in seperate campaigns. My king dies in a holy war/crusade, and then his heir has no access to any grand hunt/summer fair/feast events or pilgrimages. Please help
Is there an update scheduled for today? Since I've lost the save I was heavily invested in I don't want to start another game if there's going to be new files.
HIP has just been updated. More info here: http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?754712-HIP-update-released-2014-02-08
It is worth noting that save-game compatibility is always a top priority for HIP mods, and you will be notified whenever compatibility will break (and possibly provided alternative download links to the latest-compatible version for a period of time in that event). Users should rest easy on that front. That said, yeah, it's always good to start a fresh campaign on a fresh release.
I would one to add that for VIET I try to ensure that savegame compatibility is only broken - if it has to be - when a new major patch (ie the ones that come with major DLCs) rolls around. Only then do I do things that might break saves, like mess with the map.
Keyboard Shortcuts and Interface Adjust has been added to the mod compatibility table.
Compatible with all modules.
Compatible with all modules.
The download has been replaced, fixing the following issues:
VIET:
-fixes an issue with the muslim invasion CB in PB VIET
-fixes an issue keeping Pisa, Genoa and the Papal States from being de Jure
PB:
Added a set of tiered conquest checks for the Imperial Reconquest CB under the "Is war possible?" menu. Now works for both PB and PB+SWMH (only the latter in the previous release)
