Turns out they actually didn't accept on the next turn and then their rebels finally won and they became the worker's commonwealth and they let the crisis go all the way to a real war. I hope my 40 dreadnoughts and 50 battleships and 1300 outdated 4/4/1/1 stacks are enough to achieve victory against kleindutchland and already-50%-WE-"great"britain.

Council are the biggest cunts ever. Every 3 years there is some faggot vassal who starts a faction for increasing council powers and declares war on me, even though I crushed the 10 revolts before him.
And if I grant council powers, they'll limit my every fucking action
Vassal plots to kill you? Fuck you, you can't imprison him because we don't allow it.
Just fuck off, I'm the fucking King, I can do what I want, but I'll face the consquences for it. It's not some shitty cuck democratic republic.
Are there any mods that fix this shit? It's made CK2 unplayable for me

>playing CK2 now after taking a break since 2014.
I did the same thing 3 days ago, let me give you some advice.

>Council are the biggest cunts ever.
The bigger you get, the worse off you are. You don't need council rights at all for a county or probably even for a well-organised duchy, but once you hit kingdom or empire you need to start giving them some rights.

>And if I grant council powers, they'll limit my every fucking action
Choose the ones that aren't so bad. For example, banishment and execution aren't too bad if the Council has permission. Managing them isn't too bad in any case, it's not dissimilar to managing your vassals so they're not inclined to join plots of factions, and you can just pay them off to vote for you most of the time. You choose who goes on the council.

>Fuck you, you can't imprison him because we don't allow it.
Additionally, even if you wanted to do something that they didn't want you to do and that you've passed a law saying they get to vote on, you can just ignore them and take the relations penalty.

The early periods are vital. Make sure that you give no ground whatsoever. ABSOLUTELY nothing. Use suppression points carefully and make sure you revoke press reforms and meetings as soon as you bloody well can. That does mean that bureaucrats are a necessity for those suppression points. Clergy to 4% in every region are also necessary. The only reforms you should pass are those related to health or schooling, but the anger that other groups will feel at being ignored will require them being repressed, by secret police or the national guard if need be.

As you conquer more territory you might find that those new pops are more liberal than your core citizenry. If you are playing HPM, cultural rights are the devil. Voting, if you go that way, should always be the prerogative of your natural born citizens, and if you have fostered a conservative nature then they will not elect parties who encourage more broad based electoral platforms.

I played a Papal State game and the only mistake I made was allowing broader cultural rights. The people of Rome were so conservative that it was actually impossible to get the levels of consciousness I needed for them to start migrating to the new colonies I'd opened up.

>>160829427
Expand the dominon of Arabia to include all of arabia(just sphere all of it before forming Arabia as a vassal), Include Iraq in to the holy land(make the ottomans release them and then annex for 5 infamy), because the ottoman borders will look bad if you don't take Iraq. Also take Dalmatia, Crete and the Dodecanese

Pretty poor way to handle it, imo. They should have just given the Under Empire provinces monstrous attrition penalties to non-Skaven, like pagan homeland on steroids, to simulate the endless stream of ratmen.

The best advice is to do a 180° in 1865 from pro slavery to anti slavery, this way you avoid all civil wars.

>>160851056
it's easy but really repetitive. Like for example

300 = {
add_core = FRA
}

that would give france a core on london. It goes in the effects part of a decision or event. So you would just have to repeat that for a ton of provinces. I wrote a script where you can just keep typing in provinces and pressing enter and it spits out a text file that formats it correctly. But I lost it.

that's the most difficult part. people have made maps but they're for vanilla, and in hpm a lot of provinces are changed/added/etc. a lot of them will still work but I'd just have the game open with provid and keep tabbing out. pain in the fucking ass of course, but all vicky modding seems to be painful in that way.

tb h Victoria 2 is a pretty boring game. Blobbing is tedious and nothing about anything else feels all that rewarding. POPs are cool but the ways in which you can affect them is so limited that if there's not really anything to do in the game except war (which is really shit), the sphere game (which is even shittier) or tinkering with factories (doing your taxes is more enjoyable than this).

The only thing about it that is actually fun is just painting the map the colours you want.
