newbie in this mod questions?

[geogus]

Hi guys

Im using this mod for the first time and i got a few questions.

1) Everytime I raise my levies my expenses skyrocket and I simply cannot wage war for a long time... I am always around -10, - 11 income every month, its like I had mercenries hired. SO if a a war goest to long I go bankrupt.

Is it supposed to be like that?

2) Im a irish lord vassal to king of sweeden.. A civil war started at sween (dont know if was some faction) and I was given a choise to side with my liege, remain neutral, or join the rebels.

This is a new mechanic, how does it work?

3) About the jews, I dont see in decision to borrow money from jewish merchants, the vanilla offers me. I can still get get a borrow money, but it does not say it from the jew.

Im actually asking the jews money?

I can still expel the jews, if I want to. If i do, do i have to pay the loan back?

How does the jew work in this mod?

1) As far as I know, yes that is intentional. Done for balancing purposes I think

2) When a civil war happens you choose which side (if any) you want to be if you weren't part of any faction. If you side with the rebels then you will become a vassal of the rebel leader similar if you had joined his faction. You can stay loyal to your liege and gain favour with him or not get involved at all but take a prestige hit. Basically, do you want to help a side and risk war or not

3) The loans are for everybody to use instead and are not linked with the jewish moneylenders. You can only expel the jews from your realm if you are the top liege and there are jewish courtiers in it

Thx for answers, but still some questions

So if I join the rebels I enter the faction, like if I were an faction member from the begening? If so, I get the results of the victory if rebels win the war.
For instance, a faction for independence. I wasnt a member, but opt to join the rebels after they go to war. If the rebels win, will I be independent as well?

In vanilla, if I am not a faction member Im always loyal and the liege raise part of my levies as usual.

How does it work in loyal/neutral option?

If i remain neutral, can my liege still raise levies from my demense as usual ? whats the diference from vanilla.

If I choose to be loyal, the liege gets to raise my levies, i supose. What else do I also provide, if anything? Do I fight the war as an ally or something else?

Its very diferent from the vanila game.

3) The loans are for everybody to use instead and are not linked with the jewish moneylenders. You can only expel the jews from your realm if you are the top liege and there are jewish courtiers in it

Sp there are no jewish moneylender.

So the point to expel the jews is only to kick out the jews courties from my realm snd get the relations bonus with church members and in exchange get the negative events?

If so, it does not seems an good trade-offw The events are pretty harsh, methinks.

If I get an jew vassal, does expel the jews affects him?

If you join the rebels who wish independence then yes you will become independent if they win
If you are neutral then your liege, I'm not sure if he can still raise levies from your realm but you are still at peace and therefore don't have to worry about being sieged or being called up as a general, I believe, but like I said you take a prestige hit. I believe you can still change your mind as a neutral
If you stay loyal to the liege, depending on your government type, you will either be an ally in battle or you become part of your liege's army similar to how it works normally

You gain a temporary trait during this time to reflect your status: rebel and loyal traits are simply opinion ones while the neutral one has negative monthly prestige.

Jewish moneylenders are still usable but only if there are Jews in your realm. The expel Jews decision generally works similar to vanilla except it involves all Jewish courtiers as well. Landed ones I think are unaffected but I honestly have no experience in this. Jews are very rare in my Scottish kingdom games

You can't jump in on an independence revolt. The only revolts you'll be asked to join are ones intended to overthrow the liege -- in which case, yes, if there are additional rewards to be had aside from the liege's overthrow then you will share in those as well.

In vanilla, if I am not a faction member Im always loyal and the liege raise part of my levies as usual.

How does it work in loyal/neutral option?

If you're a loyalist, you'll get an opinion boost with your liege -- meaning he'll be able to get maximum levies from you...and, if he wins, he'll reward you for your loyalty. If you're neutral, however, you might end up being penalized by whichever side won the war, as any rewards they hand out will be at your expense. But at least you won't be branded a traitor and imprisoned.

That's incorrect, actually.

You can borrow money from the jews -- if you have the SoA DLC and are of the correct religion and have a Jewish Community somewhere in your realm. Otherwise you use the regular loan system.

While your on the subject would you mind explaining how the Jewish communities appear? I have yet to see any events for one nor is their an option of construct them.

There are a set number of jewish communities. When and if one gets expelled from a realm, if you have a city with city walls they may ask to settle in your realm.

Thanks for the explanation. That's actually a pretty cool feature.

Can the number of Jewish communities be increased in any way, for example by event if they prosper in some realm having a small chance to form more in nearby realms? Also what happens to these communities if a Jew restores the kingdom of Israel?

The number only increases if a building grows to higher levels after being established, and then the jews are expelled -- in which case the variable of "global jews" is higher.

Nothing happens to those communities if Israel is created, currently.

Presumably if those communities are destroyed by either holdings being destroyed or by hoards sacking a city, the global Jew levels go down? Or do they flee and set up communities elsewhere?
