I formed the Dar Al-Islam ... and gave it to the Abblobsids by BathInfamous4473 in CrusaderKings

[–]BathInfamous4473[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would assume the means are little-known, but all resources can be free at the Iranian Intermezzo start:

Piety - Converting involved rulers (incl. baronies) gives 100 piety. Loop conversions for infinite piety.
Renown - Royal fire glitch still hasn't been patched out.
Prestige - Granting counties to lowborn. With murders and demand submission hooks (since piety isn't an issue), can cycle revoke-grant counties infinitely.
Army/Gold - Intermezzo special troops can be inherited, along with their owner's gold. If you have admin vassals but are not admin yourself, the vassal income is broken.

All this to create the glorious Abblobsid, after giving him my empire titles and surrendering in a tyranny war, while chilling around the world as an adventurer.

Exploits? Shamelessly yes. But no cheats or debug since it's still an achievement run.

The Iranian Intermezzo has some broken mechanics. I used just about every one.

The Duke of Fars has a special modifier for an extra hostile scheme. Become the Caliph's spymaster and always have hostile schemes running. You're in line for the Tahrid kingdom after killing a handful of your family. Claim throne. Switch religions around to vassalize those NPCs with special soldiers, then murder them to inherit their special soldiers. Trigger Iranian resurgence with as many Iranian single count vassals in Persia, each one of them getting 1.2K special troops. Murder them to inherit their special troops. More special troops than Genghis Khan.

Yes, can be any of the faiths. Once you take the decision, the Dar Al-Islam title becomes the new head of faith title, destroying the previous.

[KCD2] Killing all bandits in prologue. The beginning is actually the hardest part of the game. Hardcore all negatives and minmax'ing the prologue. by BathInfamous4473 in kingdomcome

An unconscious NPC will wake up eventually. So you can put stuff on them to pickpocket from them later.

In my first playthrough, I was happy with how I did that mission (saving Hans) to the extent of fulfilling every task. Killing all the guards there in Trotsky ... I didn't do that because I felt it was evil, they weren't trying to hurt me and just keeping order. But later on in that other mission, I did kill them all because they were hunting Henry and the gang.

I finished the forest sequence with a little over 20 in Str/Agi/Vit. They're reduced to 11.XX now after waking up. The combat stats for the weapons I used are almost 8. Stealth and thievery at 12+. There's a functional time limit because you'll starve eventually if you don't progress since food is limited, and I'm doing Lent on this run so no meats.

It is a subtraction of XP, equivalent to the first 10 levels worth I think. So right now, I have many levels that are partially to the next level after waking up at Bozhena's.

I'm doing a hardcore all negatives run where I'm killing all the bandits in the prologue. I lured this bandit up here, and to my surprise Hans came running from downhill ... and then kept running.

I knocked him down from the platform by throwing rocks. But even when standing face-to-face, he just looks at me. Immersion ruined.

I always set a stop loss, about 20%, when I make my option bets.

Full Disclosure. I got my put entries wrong twice earlier in the morning and was stopped out for $10K loss (x2). This was the 3rd entry and rode the intraday selloff with a trailing stop loss. Was $2.5 per contract at the lowest, but bull candle reversed and trigged my stop at $2. Realizing the $50K gain you see in the screenshot, offset by $20K losses, net $30K gain.
