I think it's a layering issue. In this portrait, it's applying armenian (byzantine) headgear which is is listed at a lower layer in the armeniangfx file than all of the ethnic features i added in the alangfx.
the same applies to the coptic portraits which list all the ethnic features below the background layer.

you are probably lying. maybe to us? maybe to yourself? or maybe you just happened to be extremely likely.

anyways, first campaign as custom byzantine emperor:

>2nd wife cucks me next year
>stayed single for 3 years
>found qt noble maid, entered a relationship
>she cucks me with a duke vassal
>3rd wife, managed not to cuck me for 7 years

>son inherits
>his relationship with his wife is -100, she is already cucking him
>find a second wife
>4 years and still not cucked, 1st child on the way
>it's a fucking nigglet

ever since then i made my personal mode to remove seduction, but it was annoying because i had to re-install it each time they updated the game. adding the ability to remove this as an in-game option is a miracle.

>But how do you know if the kid is actually yours?
I mean I never really had a time where a kid had a phenotype outside of the expected, if that makes sense.

I'd turn off sunset invasions and MAYBE lower the frequency of popular revolts. Turn off conclave, maybe forget about Poo in Loos and even get a mod to erase India if gamespeed and performance is a concern of yours. Ive heard Reaper's Due might actually increase performance in terms of late game because it keeps killing off characters whose lineage would be too much for the game to handle in a timely manner on a mid-late game stage.

Ah, if only there was a way to make jewish expulsion as great as it used to be...

Oh, turn off "defensive pacts" or "defensive leagues" if that's what it called. I mean, it's more of a preference thing to be quite honest, but it being ON makes it way way harder to pave the map with a conquest when you want to.

I can't think of anything else of the top of my head, do turn off AI seduction if the mild possibility of having to murder a cheating bitch rustles you too much. Keep AI intrigue on because AI killing eachother here and there isn't abused by the AI to the point of making something unplayable and adds a level of risk and uncertainty to gameplay.

I really am not, maybe I've been lucky? Maybe the very few blue moons I did get cucked I simply didn't "find out"?

>>son inherits
>>his relationship with his wife is -100, she is already cucking him

I dont often let them marry while they're not- well- "me", or if I do I make sure they stay in my court so I can hand pick the wife and keep an eye on possible dilly dallying.

But I guess having more customization is great, so do disable it if you had such a bad experience. Maybe try one more time sometime with it on?

>>154252889
the main problem about seduction is that it is uncounterable.
assume that your holding is in france. all people from spain to hungary with the seduction focus are ABLE to attempt to seduce your wife.

the seduction process has literally no backside. despite being even 800km away, you will get a seduction event every couple of weeks. in this event you are basically playing a dating sim, where you keep flirting with the bitch. it doesn't matter if she constantly turns you down, you can do this for DECADES until she gives in.

and i have yet to see an event that lets you find out that someone is flirting with your wife. your best bet is to get rid of him AFTER you learn that he shagged your wife. but there is no way to effectively stop your wife's suitors.

>The exact origin of syphilis is disputed.[3] Syphilis was definitely present in the Americas before European contact, and it may have been carried from the Americas to Europe by the returning crewmen from Christopher Columbus's voyage to the Americas; or it may have existed in Europe previously, but went unrecognized until shortly after Columbus returned.
so why the fuck is syphilis in ck2?

>>154254487
>it may have existed in Europe previously, but went unrecognized until shortly after Columbus returned
I guess that would be why.

>>154254487

it would be problematic to assume that syphilis came from the New World. you have to remember that in communism natives are innocent good boys who literally never did anything wrong until getting oppressed by the evil Europeans

>>154254812
That's the thing, 'may have' doesn't mean 'didn't', it means 'there's some evidence but not enough to make a firm statement'.

So Paradox picked the interpretation that let them have more diseases and ran with it.

>reform says it gives +15% civilization progress
>only gives +10%

Why

>>154254948
But it was unrecognized until shortly after columbus returned. They are using a disease that didnt exist at all or was unrecognized during that period.

>>154254679
>communism
Literally what?

>>154255125
Base CK2 syphilis is simply called the Great Pox, which fits for some medically-unrecognised pox people are getting.

Actual virulent syphilis is a separate disease that turns up with Sunset Invasion, where the Aztecs are spreading it because Paradox can't help but copy the Mongols entirely.

>>154255297
It's BIG_BENIS_IN_MY_ANUS trying to be a comedian.

Rights of Men is really bumming me out. It made me realize how dumb I am for playing V2 when there's a modern GS still receiving updates with new awesome features.

>>154255427

In the description when you hover over great pox it literally says its syphilis

>>154255495
>literally
Literally kill yourself.

anyone else here as good at v2 as me? i form germany after sphere-ing all provinces with >50% north/south german culture within the first 8 years of the game, then i blob china, suez/sinai, brunei, japan, panama, hawaii, vietnam, sokoto, etc.

>>154255835
if i really were attempting to bait, that wouldn't be a nice try because you saw through it so quickly.

but i'm not baiting so whatever.

>>154255495
Yes, but as it's medically unrecognised at the time, it's named and treated as a random pox, hence the 'later known as syphilis' in the description right there.

when will big benis leave

I don't get this stupid meme. It doesn't happen at every 90 degree border and only goes away when countries in a certain radius of it are annexed. I've only seen it do it at a few 90 degree lines but there was 1 or 2 straight lines too so idk what's up with it

>>154256064

So your argument that Great Pox and syphilis are treated in game as two separate things is retarded and wrong.

>>154256562

>>154257126
well if I annex that, Switzerland and Savoy, the border glitch goes away.

It's not unique to what I'm doing as it's in a few other mods I tested. Might just be Paradox and there's nothing I can do. Redrawing the border just a bit just breaks up the glitch into smaller pieces

>>154256748
No, the argument was that the syphilis present in Western Europe was a mild strain compared to the syphilis from North America, which is borne out by the evidence for pre-Columbian syphilis being limited to mild or congenital cases - and that syphilis as a medically recognised separate thing comes only with the Aztecs and a much more dangerous strain thanks to Sunset Invasion.

CK2+ focuses on mechanics and gameplay
HIP focuses on accuracy and has a better map.
Also for some reason HIP doesn't have Chalcedoinan as a pre-schism religion.

Installing HIP foe ck2 now which things should I say no to?

hello kurek

>>154270830
Both are meme mods.

>>154272556
What trade off
The Charlie start? If you want SWMH you probably should also install the mini-version unless you want parts of sub-saharan Africa and India.

>>154272754
I mean is it worth trading Charlie start for SWMH? Also Why don't I want VIET?

>>154272831
Because VIET is literally nothing but cock jokes and incest jokes.

>>154272831
Most of VIET that isn't >>154272863 is already folded into EMF or whatever it was called
Also that depends if you like playing in the charlie start
SWMH is a better map certainly than vanilla.

>>154272863

Wait for some jew to be kicked out somewhere and come to your court, then take real good care of him because everyone will want to assassinate him. Educate your kids, set heritage focus, again protect the jews because everyone hates them, then at some point you'll have a surviving jew coming on top like the fastest sperm in the bunch, which can spread his jewness to the goyim

>>154284264
I guess because certain governments really skim the line and can't be classified easily.
Like the Chinese Emperors have a massive religious undertone and imply that the Emperor is actually a divine magistrate in charge of the Province of Earth, so some people call it a theocracy because Chinese gods are basically bureaucrats anyway.
Also yeah you need to blob either less or more to look nice. The western border is okay I guess but the eastern one is just plain ugly, take the steppes.

No, just shit programming overall. CK2 could easily support everything up to China if it wasn't for the bad framework it is built on.

Too many AI characters "thinking" about decisions when that shouldn't be the case and they should just be thrown to a fully statistical event-based decision tree with no conditional loops.

Example, you start in Europe and the whole of Europe functions as normal, while the whole Eastern side of your map doesn't "think" at all and is nothing but an event chain. The guy didn't declare war on his neighbor because he was a rival or something, a rare event triggered and caused the war. It's kinda like the rendering process in a 3D game, where only the stuff you look at is rendered

CK2+ link?

Ruins the only appeal of Paradox games though.

Do you seriously NOT play on ironman? These games would be boring as fuck that way.
