I might be an underdog, but Red Sea and Arabia region being divided by Miaphysites, Shiites, and Sunnis made this viable. There is some holy waring going on in Spain, southern Italy, and east Anatolia, but it's within historically reasonable range.įor me it was almost like a game of Total War - get up to 100 piety somehow, Holy War a duchy, rinse, repeat. do not scale cost based on your income so they're not ridiculously expensive (and totally worthless since benefits do not scale) when you're bigĪll this seems like too much for AI, and instead of traditional HRE/Poland/Sweden joint Holy War roflstomping Norse and Romuva regions in 20 game years, they are doing well.

things like summer fairs, feasts, hunts, etc.

crown laws are much more sensible and their changes just require big prestige cost - so you can quit gavelkind with your first ruler if you want, it will just cost you.

recently conquered provinces get 5 years of no levies/taxes penalty no matter what it is, not up to 20 like in vanilla depending on culture/religion.

Holy Wars now cost 100 piety per duchy for neighbouring countries, 250 for non-neighbours.

You can take one loan via decision now (not sure how they scale that, 100 gold is not really much) - I had to do that to get mercs and it was sad.

mercenaries now cost something like 2x as much - which moves them from essential in every war to something to be used sporadically.

retinue is much smaller, but still totally worth it.

I needed to figure out everything from scratch, since the mod nerfed a lot of cheap gamey tactics from vanilla CK2:

trickery, and adjusted relationship costs to something more sensible, so I can't even figure out how to min/max that), then I picked the kingdom of Ethiopian Jews and started playing as Jesus of Christ dynasty in what I thought would be a few hour distraction before my anger levels at Bethesda let me go back to the Fallout Scroll series. I took CK2Plus mod, enabled gender equality submod for hilarity, tweaked ruler designer costs to something lower (since CK2+ made it even harder than vanilla, they disabled all the excommunicated/wounded/etc. Mod review: CK2Plus for Crusader Kings 2.Īfter extremely disappointing Fallout: New Vegas DLC Dead Money, I decided to do something else - check some mods.
