Crusader Kings 2

Erm.....if i remember correctly you gots te declare war first or your armies cant go attack silly peasant kindgoms of puniness.

yep I got that. I'm in a war. I have armies. I click on them the organization screen comes up. I click "goto" and they don't go anywhere.

been awhile since i played, i know some things were not as intuitive in that game, so i had to do some research from the wiki etc.

Daub, has the Kingdom of Waterford conquered the known world yet?

I haven't conquered shit, but have done OK due to marrying well.

But I can't move my armies so I'm fucked and the wiki never really addresses it

Nobody can help a brother out here?

I finally have a sizable kingdom (thru marriage) and I'm just getting my ass handed to me by every half wit noble in Eastern europe because I CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO MOVE MY ARMIES!!!!

PLEASE SOMEBODY!

i cant remember, its been awhile. what i remember was that it was easy tho, just a button to click to rally the armies, which makes icons for armies appear in your provinces/counties/etc, showing how many troops- then you just select which army you want to move, and move it..

i took over most of europe in that game

here ya go daub.

first you click to levy the army, then click to move it.

in this picture its the round button with the up arrow on it.



you levy fleets of boats the same way.

hmm, maybe i should dust off my pirated copy of this game...

yeah I just figured it out, you have to click on the army, then clikc "go to" then RIGHT CLICK on the spot you want to go to.

Which is dumb cause it's like the only time in this game you ever right click.

Thanks for lookin' Anto!

This game look interesting. I'll have to check it out. Thanks for the post up.

It was horribly addictive, but then all at once I got sick of it. Very steep learning curve.

It's pretty fun on multiplayer tho

I can recommend most of the Paradox games. Europa Universalis 3 is great, as are Hearts of Iron and Victoria. Especially for all us history geeks out there.

Out of those 3 which do you like best?

My favorite is EU. I played EU2 to death and I keep coming back to EU3 every year.

HoI is my least favorite (but still a damn good game), for two reasons: Its a WW2 scenario and there are only so many ways you can play that one out (although liberating the oppressed workers of the world as the United States of Socialist America is hilarious). Also: the emphasis is more on combat then on economy, and I like playing around with economics.

I love Victoria, because of its complex economics, but less because the game is already kinda fixed. With a start date of early 19th century, there is no point in playing as Thailand, or Greece, for example. Its only really playable/enjoyable if you play the nations that historically did well: USA, Russia, France, etc.

Which brings me to the main strength of EU3: with a start date of the 14th century, you can play almost any nation and conquer half the world with it by the time the game ends in the 1800s. And you can make it as easy or as difficult as you want, with the diff settings and the various mods. Some mods make it easier, some are downright impossible (for me, the laidback gamer)

moved this to games

google is your best friend

I used this site to download the mods. Depends on your build number but you can get all instructions from there.

I really wanna play the game of thrones and elder scrolls mods on crusader kings two, but I know nothing of mods or how they work or how to install them or anything. So I was wondering if anyone here knows about this sort of thing and if anyone can provide a dummies step by step guide on how to get into a position to play game of thrones on crusader kings 2 please?

It's dead simple. Both those mods largely unpack themselves in the right place - so as long as you haven't changed the default directory for CK2 it should work fine. Then you just need to remember to double-click the launcher (the icon with the Paradox picture) rather than the CK2 game itself (the icon with the shield picture) and pick which mod you want to use in the bottom left.

btw, I'm in a c2 game now, started as Duke of Barcelona, it's 1428 and I'm Emperor of Hispania. Have almost 400k points.

I've got Spain, all of France but Brittainy, all of Germany, all of Italy but Rome and Sicily, all of North africa, west africa, all of east africa except somalia, The entire arab world west of Baghdad, Lithuania, most or Russia,

Dominant!

This game makes me so upset lol

I jam for like 4 hours then like....I start off as Count of Leon in Britany then take over Britany through much incest and scheming. Did I mention a lot of incest? Right...so take it over...then some peasant lordling of mine pomps an English dukes daughter, gets her preggers and asks for assistance when he revolts me. Now im busy beatin down on Frog land coz I married a princess of france and killed all her brothers now trying to lay claim to my sheeeiiiit, yo! So a MILLION troops from England come over, I beat down on them like a mother chucker and send a fleet over with a ZILLION troops...but I cant disembark onto their lands through the ports...WTF! All the while my treasury is getting drained to the negative coz im on the ships...why! any advice?

You send the boats to their shore

Click on your armies that are on the boats

Click to travel to the land you want them to disembark to.


If I remember right

do not leave ships in ports, as soon as you are done with then disband them. They are extremely expensive to use. Much more expensive than the armies they transport.
