How the hell do you play this game? I usually think I'm doing great and then a massive civil war erupts, and I've no idea what I'm doing in terms of domestic policy. I just try to appoint people with high loyalty and low corruption while encouraging economic and population growth, but I'm not sure if I'm doing it right.

I don't know what to do with those diplomats and the Russians keep pestering me with those sabotage popups so I put a stop to them.

recently a M&T dev did some investigation into why the game suddenly lagged midway through a year instead of at the end when all the POP events are calculated. He uncovered some engine fuckery, patched it, and now the game is running 35-40% faster.

Save, quit to desktop, reload. It works for broken events might work for this.

Why can't I put my commanders in charge of my armies in ck2, they have the title, and my king is forbidden from leading armies, so what gives

>>170711397
Are they state owned? If capitalists built them you're only going to get money through taxes

>>170724015
Yes, I do that all the time. In between doesnt matter only the end result. You cant eat France all at once if you want to break it into 3 different Vassals, you have to eat it slowly releasing it when you get to certain points. And Upper France cant be done until youre completely done.

>>170724138
is it a merc only army? your commanders can only lead armies that have at least some of your own levies/retinues in them. It's also possible that paradox completely fucked the game with monks and mystics and your experiencing a bug

There is actually an incredibly large variety of societies in the game you disingenuous anti-shill, with all offering diverse playstyles to the player so they can engage enemies in anyway they see fit. Add to that the numerous different mission types, each having an actually impact on the game as opposed to the superficial quest system usually has in games, such as War in the East, and this game is rich with unique socieity types and playstyles

I love how all the anti-shills on /gsg/ are clamoring to find excuses as to why the critical praise this game is getting, and deserves, isn't justified. Watching people strain to come up with reasons why this game is bad even though respected publications have almost unanimously said otherwise. What's better is that all the most relevant and respectable journalism outlets, like IGN, have heaped praise on this game while only the lesser, irrelevant, outlets were the ones to give it luke-warm praise.

Face it /gsg/, Monks and Mystics is a generation defining experience

You're mistaken because you don't realize that there is not necessarily a dichotomous relationship involved with anti-shills. Take me for example, I am neither a "shill" (a marketer) or an anti-shill (a person trying to disparage a game due to either monetary incentive or personal vendetta), I am simply someone that played and loved this game!

Meanwhile, anti-shills are maladjusted individuals trying to shoehorn "negative features" into a game that has none.

/gsg/ inexplicably Vcitoria 2 and doesn't want to admit that Monks and Mystics is better than Victoria 2 in almost every possible way. The enemies are actually complex and challenging as opposed to being giant liquor sponge. The narrative and characters are enthralling and unique as opposed to functionally nonexistent. The world is lush and provides for countless ways for the player to interact and immerse with the environments. The gameplay is varied and visceral, giving the player the freedom to pursue their own unique way to play the game

The game is legitimately amazing, even generation defining, and /gsg/ is upset because in so doing it makes their beloved game, Vicotria 2, look like the clunky, dated, mess it is

>>170725584
the way you should see is that you're a shit ruler that can't do things himself and prefers to let a big negroid penetrate your soft boypussy

That's because Garibaldi conquered southern Italy and offered it to the Count of Cavour. So yeah, if you're Two Sicilies and you get taken over you're gonna get fucked. Play as Sardinia-Piedmont or get Great Power status faster.

I'm still trying to get my other vassal to convert but to no avail. Once both of them are stabilized (religion -> marriage -> my dynasty), I'll get a third one up in Persia (will probably have to be a client state). After that I'll get as many client states as my diplo relations allow me to, since each separate vassal grants me development boost

I think its something like 12k, but they dont regen so its quite possible to lose them. I usually end the war with minimal casualties using mostly my own troops excet in huge battles then keep the event troops to keep vassals in line since its like 1/2 of your troops for your first leader.
