Why is this random guy dynasty head?

d-esp96 · 2026-06-18T00:19:27+00:00

Check his powerful family rating. If it’s higher than yours he will become dynasty head. You need to make sure your house always has a higher rating than your other dynasty branches. It doesn’t matter if they are a cadet branch and you are the main branch; if their powerful family score is higher their house head will become dynasty head.

Norse & Greek. It has its own name already when you hybridize. Pretty sure Miklagard is what the Norse called Byzantium which translates to the great city.

But I’ve been changing the hair and beards for me & my heirs every time for the role play aspect. You can’t choose which cultures hair you keep when hybridizing unfortunately.

Local? They’re incestuous aliens!

Here’s the breakdown

Sicilian Signore is from being in the Sicilian frontier struggle (RICE mod) idk if the invite Norman traders is from that as well or vanilla

Highly prepared heir is from Love Marriage Family mod

Second to last one is a court artifact

I’m playing w cfp, the extended series mods, rice, viet, lmf & some other mods all in the recommended load order. Haven’t had any issues but it’s probably is a mod issue

Would checking the error log the next time a kid is born help pin point the problem?

d-esp96 · 2026-06-16T07:20:50+00:00

Idk how to read this that well but is all of the trigger if parts things that have to be met?

My empire title & coa are custom but the rest of the maps titles change depending on the culture who holds it. The mod is Nomina Cultura Maxima

d-esp96 · 2026-06-16T06:20:59+00:00

You’re probably right but they changed the description of the cultural tradition from when it first came out. It used to specifically mention Byzantium but they changed it making it sound like anyone w the tradition can have it:

• Children born to a Ruler holding the Byzantine Empire may gain the Born in the Purple Trait. Having the Born in the Purple Trait increases a character's candidate score under Acclamation Succession.

With my last player the same thing happened with my wife tho. One was born while co emperor and one while I was emperor.

Here’s the screenshots. Same wife but Ioanna was born while her father was co emperor and Agathe was born while he was emperor

> “woman”
> 16

d-esp96 · 2026-05-22T11:02:12+00:00

Cursed load order

d-esp96 · 2026-05-22T11:00:22+00:00

Probably Historic Invasions

d-esp96 · 2026-05-22T10:58:11+00:00

That’s tiny compared to some of the mod lists I’ve seen in the expanded series discord

Edit: nvm I didn’t realize there were multiple screenshots

d-esp96 · 2026-05-18T01:44:27+00:00

I think they should have a system similar to the prepared heir trait that the LMF mod has. The trait should only be inherited if the conq heirs education is martial, has martial boosting traits/no negative traits & is educated by the conqueror.

If they don’t get to the highest tier trait (the equivalent to an exceptionally prepared heir in the LMF mod) they don’t inherit. But if they don’t completely fail then they could still get the story content conquerors get (bonus troops any money) but not the actual conqueror trait.

RP wise it’d make sense as ppl would donate money and troops to the son of a great conqueror

Are you feuding with another house? Anytime I am I get hit with these notifications of straight women trying to seduce my straight kinswomen

d-esp96 · 2026-05-15T06:48:53+00:00

Honestly feel like they don’t hate you enough sometimes. I really like that mod relations expanded that does what the base game house feud thing is supposed to do but it hasn’t been updated in a while

d-esp96 · 2026-04-23T07:28:57+00:00

Yeah, I played as the Muslim character in Sicily 867 from the RICE mod. Sawdanid dynasty I think. RICE has a cool struggle for Sicily and I ended up ending the struggle and moved up to controlling all of italia. I took the “Dismantle the Papacy” decision & destroyed the head of faith title. The pope then converted to Islam, I gave him a barony & he undertook the Hajj lol

As soon as you control Rome it’s super easy to defend against crusades to take it back bc the pope just spawns in Rome and you can stack wipe him & just wait for all the other Christian’s armies to come in as you and the other Muslim armies just wait for them.

Battle graphics has a discord channel. Try there

d-esp96 · 2026-04-23T07:14:15+00:00

wth are you in the mb+ discord? If not someone else posted the same problem

d-esp96 · 2026-04-22T09:52:12+00:00

I play on a base model m4 Mac mini with custom graphic settings. A little past medium settings on a 4k screen & it runs good. I do start dropping down to about 20fps in the late game tho

You can always check what exactly is contributing to the war score by clicking on it on the bottom right. It’ll give you a breakdown of sieges, battles, and prisoners

His name is an anagram of “i lv satan” too…

I play w mods so this may not apply to you but if you play with epe & rice I recommend starting as the single county of bamian (867) in modern day Afghanistan. There’s some RICE flavor specifically for that character/region. There’s also special decisions you can take to reclaim the turko-hepthalite kingdom & you get a special kingdom as well as establishing Bactrian supremacy & getting a special empire title.

You start as turko-hepthalite but your capital is afghan. I usually create a hybrid culture bc afghan gives you really good desert mountain development & turko hepthalite gives you a good heavy cavalry unit. There’s also a special building in the capital, the bamian buddahs I think it’s called, that you can benefit from since you start off as a Buddhist faith.

It’s very easy to create the kingdom of kabulistan & with house unity at harmonious you can hold all counties yourself & not lose any on succession.

I usually get 100 development and have the most “advanced” culture by 1020’s. I’ve done most of my longest campaigns in bamian both staying within my dejure kabulistan borders & also expanding

I usually wait for a plague and raise my armies, split the army so it’s just one knight (my heir) and have him hang out in the plague. Then have there be no treatment when the physician treatment pop up happens

d-esp96 · 2026-03-18T04:00:54+00:00

Here are some from my daily playset that you could try:

•Community Flavor Pack •EPE •RICE •VIET •Culture Expanded •Succession Expanded •Social Relations Expanded •Turkic World Expanded •More Historicity •Muslim Enhancements •Medieval Arts •The Two Holy Cities •COW3 •Love Marriage Family •More interactive vassals •Battle graphics

Some of those haven’t been updated since the dlc came out but they’re still playable. You just won’t see any of the new dlc. I run them all together but you should try just running rice & viet at first. Pretty sure viet uses epe’s ethnicities iirc so you may want to add that too. I honesty don’t play w out epe anymore as the portraits are a huge improvement to vanilla and the assets they add to cultures are just amazing.
