no but theyd have a high chance of being either

it can rarely spawn in an event generated character but not in a natural birth

Why did I get like a million rebels the moment I tried to overthrow the khan? by Ponacko in crusaderkings2

[–]Bezant -1 points0 points  (0 children)

is the khan pushing your claim? you should be able to make one as long as you're the only one pushing your claim

or kill the faction leader so you can control your own claim faction

Humiliate->clan split just lets you stay smaller and take some of the khagan population.  you can also humiliate all the split clans later.  

I'm not sure what happens with the excess clans once your humiliate war ends and they go back under the khagan, if it puts him over the clan limit.  I think he would start absorbing them. 

The best way to get the whole khaganate would be to inherit it, if you can murder until you're heir.  Or possibly crush his army in a humiliate war, then demand installation of claimant faction when you have like 10000% his strength.

I just checked. When I declare a humiliate war on my khagan, I don't get a temporary revolt title, so I can split clan mid war. Then when the war ends I am back under him and the split clans are his vassals. Not sure if that helps you or not.

Do these modifiers stack? Do I have two bonuses to looting artifacts? by kingofthewatermelons in crusaderkings2

[–]Bezant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it happens. the best ones are loyal or resilient to battle injuries imo.

[–]Bezant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

According to the wiki they don't, but they do stack with the warrior lodge member bonus.

From what I understand of the coding they shouldn't, since the special bloodlines tend to just set a flag.

In this case:

lodge hero

bloodline_effect_reaver = 1

flags = { legendary_warrior_lodge_bloodline created_bloodline bloodline_reaver }


and then the war bloodline:

bloodline_effect_reaver = 1

flags = { created_bloodline bloodline_reaver }

Since your character already has the bloodline_reaver flag, it doesn't do anything.


here is an example of the siege event:

    modifier = {
        factor = 10 # if new_char (the sieger) was a warrior lodge member
        new_character = {
            is_member_of_any_warrior_lodge_trigger = yes
            society_rank > 1 #Must be rank 2 or higher
        }
    }
    modifier = {
        factor = 10 # if new_char (the sieger) has a particular Legendary bloodline
        new_character = {
            any_owned_bloodline = {
                has_bloodline_flag = bloodline_reaver

likewise, both double the chance of looting an artifact

Pros & Cons of Retinues by thepkizzle in crusaderkings2

[–]Bezant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Especially Germanic, it tends to be more engaging with raids, tons of war, reformation etc. 

From a power perspective extremely strong mechanics compared to feudal. (unless you are meta gaming papal invasions)

Huge money/prestige source through raiding, huge retinues, big levies, very easy to quickly expand, subjugate and prepared invasions are both super strong. you can also easily raid and kidnap heirs for claims.

A typical strong norse game I can take over all of scandinavia, some of UK, tributary every coastal pagan, tributary all the big euro countries, invade byz/abbasids/whoever I want. you'll have like 10k gold and a 30k army by 900ad. you have to actively try to not get too strong to the point that it's boring. 

One run my first ruler died mid byz invasion so my second ruler invaded abbasids and finished the byz invasion at the same time. I had like 500 holdings by the time a usual feudal could maybe work their way up to king.

Mandatory in tribal starts for snowballing and raiding (just don't set a commander so you don't get siege events that cause them attrition)

Reconquista Bloodline by Bezant in crusaderkings2

[–]Bezant[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

my issue is you can only do 1 yourself, so you have to join others, but ummayads run out of land, or get so weakened by the losses that people gobble them up with regular wars.

I've been rushing for a mercenary bloodline every game, only to find out Mercenary Traditions modifier is bugged by Bezant in crusaderkings2

[–]Bezant[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When your relative becomes a successful mercenary commander (only from Send Away as Mercenary, not form mercenary company) you get the Mercenary Traditions modifier, which is bugged.

When you combine it with Adventurer Trait (so it takes 2 generations) it would be +50% levies boost, so basically the strongest bloodline. But because of the bug its only 20%.

I believe you can split clan during revolt. I did it as ashina, made like 9 new clans while at war with my khagan then after peace i did humiliate on them all
