I know the upgrades beyond require more points in construction tech. I want to say the base hospital building is not gated, but it may require the 1st point in construction. This particular epidemic hit well in advance of the big plagues, the year was only 960 or so. Are hospitals gated by time/tech, or are they available immediately? This was only my second game since I installed Reaper's Due (along with about 2 years worth of other DLC), so I'm unfamiliar with a lot of the more recent mechanics.

I'm usually fine with the "losing is fun!" line of thinking (I play a _ton_ of roguelikes), but it's just too easy in this game to lose double-digit hours of playtime in 30 seconds to something completely out of your control.

This wasn't even a small clan - We went from 58 living members to 13, including the death of literally every legitimate adult male in the bloodline. Had to abandon a game last night when a particularly nasty epidemic of camp fever took out 75% of my dynasty in about two years. There are too many random elements that can ruin an otherwise-promising game even 100+ years in. Yeah, I think I'm done achievement-hunting in this game. Makes me not want to play ironman but I can't resist the urge to savescum. Knew I was fucked when my Emperor had 4 daughters. Made Empire of Scandinavia but couldn't reform the church because I got a bunch of weird demerits like lost holy wars even though I lost zero wars all game. Maybe I was already the de jure liege, but then I wouldn't have needed claimants.ħ69AD start. I could have sworn at one time it was possible to find a title, bring up the claimants list, invite them to your court, give them a barony, and then press their claim and get them as your vassal. No, that's always been the case you either need to be the de jure liege of the targeted territory (e.g., you're already King of France, and you're pushing someone's claim for Duchy of Normandie) or the claimant has to be part of your dynasty. I think they have to be of your dynasty now. If you win, they stay your vassal and get the duchy.

Used to be you'd find a claimant of a duchy in the target kingdom, invite them to your court and land them, then press their claim. Now my question, as queen of a united Ireland, is how does warfare/alliance work with other major kingdoms like Scotland and England? I guess it's a matter of allying with someone to crush another nation and become stronger, but I need to read up on how to seal alliances.ĭid they nerf claimants? I feel like they did. I liked him! He had a 100 opinion of me at one point! And he was handsome. So I plotted to revoke his county, and he rebelled when blackmailed, and I crushed his revolt and threw him in prison. My cousin did, indeed, become a threat and joined several factions to back another cousin as king
