The target must also be under 40.

The tentacle religions are intended to have low moral authority on game start. You're supposed to help the tentacle religion grow by waging holy wars and conquering holy sites. If you're desperate to start with higher moral authority, you can add a religion authority modifier via event on startup.

Don't be Submissionist.

I am one of the few players who enjoy playing tall instead of rapid expansion. I usually only rule one empire for each game.

 

In my case, I wonder how should i modify the mod files to let the first cult holy site locate on my starting capital and the rest four locate in the de jure empire that I'm in.

 

Yeah I know this would hugely lower the difficulty of the mod, but I think I, as a never-ironman player, can accept this consequence.

 

Thank you.

The relevant scripted effects can be found in tentacle_scripted_effects_misc.txt. You can edit the criteria for holy sites to your heart's content. Also, I'm planning to include more content for tentacle slaves playing "tall" in the future, please look forward to it

@Cheri Song or anyone else......   trying to play as the horde... suggestions on growing that army? the tentacle army that is

 

1) that 1000 young mission.. what is the trigger that has to be reached for the option to show up again. I got it to show up a second time so I know it can happen just not how

2) should I build my army using the above, the mass baby making option, or the retinu, or a combination of the 3

3) should I focus on castles/city/temple/mix? or none and focus on raiding

 

any other suggestions are welcome

 

current plan... go all in on cities, focus on raiding, dump all $$$ into gold production in the cities, then go for the mass baby making once cities are built up. during that time try to get that 1000 army spawn to happen as often as I can

1) All of the tentacle monster ambitions have a cooldown of 5 years before they can be selected again (the duration of the modifier they give you).

 

2) The best army is a mix of pikewomen and tentacle warbeasts, or heavy cavalry and tentacle warbeasts. You'll also want a significant number of filler troops to pad out your army to make sieges easier (since you need to leave a garrison behind to defend holdings you capture, and that's a waste of expensive warbeasts). I find that the best strategy is to have a solid retinue as the core of your army, with demesne levies and the 1000-warbeast reward as a nice supplement from time to time. The tentacle babies are also a good option but tend to cost a lot in maintenance.

 

3) I recommend having a castle as your capital holding for the fort level bonus. For the rest, cities are good for Wealth, but also consider building a bunch of temples to get Essence to fund your Tentacle Invasions and increasingly expensive Tentacle Horde retinues.

@Cheri:

Would you consider adding (full) compatibility with Lesbocrazy in one of your upcoming versions? Right now there seems to be a bug with female rigths while playing pagan. If using both mods alongside. After a couple of days the status of women switches to full from it self.

 

Keep up your great work

As far as I know, this mod is already fully compatible with Lesbocracy. Tentacle Cultist characters getting Full Status of Women is a feature, not a bug.

1) TY now I can time it

 

I also have a couple requests.

first, can you make an option for something along the lines of "mass breeding" where you click it, and every month you breed automatically instead of having to click the breeding every month. don't replace the monthly option. the mass breeding option will allow players focus on other things instead of clicking non stop.

 

Second if it is even possible. the WB you get from that... can they spawn as raiding default. right now during mass breeding you get scammed with new units daily that you either have to switch right away or risk losing all your cash because you are now paying a massive amount in maintenance. it is more the daily birth spam that is the issue.

 

I wish there was a way to stop the regency swapping. this government should have a "head mistress" who can be selected to be the rulers voice. kinda like the pope...I understand the game mechanics and it was designed for regencies to act this way, but with that design you are not supposed to play the whole game like that. all the other limitations from the regency fit perfectly though.

 

BTW thanks for all the work you do here.

When I play as a female Ruler i seem to get spammed with stalking events from landless tentacle monsters, which when there is the option to get ravished kidnapp me eventhough they are at the other side of the map.

Also when i get one of these events and its one where i can pick a option to not get ravished i get a event where the game thinks I am the tentacle monster and successfully kidnapped myself and am able to ravish myself.

I will look into this.

For me this also happens if the char is not a Tentacle Cultist or Slave.

[Damicles]

Is their any chance of having a secret tentacle slave arrive in you court if you Present Débutante who will then try to establish a secret tentacle lair to spread corruption through you land. Also my character was kidnapped from across the world multiply times.

I've seen that bug.  It usually happens when I choose to flee a named tentacle monster stalk/ambush since I always have "charinfo 1" on at all times so the mouseover will reveal which tentacle monster is behind that.  A successful escape tends to result in me continuing the event chain from the tentacle monster rapist POV instead of the victim's POV and resulting in self-imprisonment (and immediate release)

Can you find the specific event id?

[Tebix]

Man Is there an plan to rework the system on how warbeast are given? I was of raiding with a 30k stack and when it was exhausted and i returned the game didn#t like the few hundred 1 man armies which accumulated in my capital at all.. maybe one which counts the birth per month and then gives the units monthly. Also that they spawn outside of my realm just because my wife lives there is annoying what can I do with 5 troops in Iberia?

I'll look for it next time it pops up, but the female character will have "tentacle_stalking_progress 0" in her full charinfo 1 list after triggering this particular bug.  This disappears when the player relogs after the bug.

[Matata]

Found an issue.. mainly a me "being stupid" issue, so I thought I would post this so others don't fall into this trap too.

 

1) Played the invasion scenario; I think it would be the same regardless of the scenario.

2) I kept every daughter I had thinking... more females = more spawn = stronger

3) All was going great.. expanding, growing, stats going up, piety, and prestige on the rise.. you know' a great game.

4) then for some reason my Prestige was tanking, and for the life of me I could not figure out why.

5) after watching the hits I was taking for some time I finally figured it out. my daughters were getting married on their own since I had not restricted their marriage and giving ME the prestige hit for her marrying a lowborn. (daughters... man)

6 it took so long to figure it out I went from 4K prestige to -11K. YES..... minus 11K prestige

 

Now I didn't check if this even affects your empire at all, but man hard lesson to learn, and I hope this post stops others from doing it to. Keep in mind, I do have other mods so this may be completely a mod conflict issue, but I will just assume it is me being a DERP until I figure out otherwise

Wow, thank you for your reply.

 

I am still new about the mod so I have several questions to ask: does this mod encourage players to play as female human liege or tentacle beasts? I thought it should be the former but there is a decision allowing players to hand over empire throne to some random tentacle beast, so it's a final goal I guess?

 

Furthermore, since CK3 will be released this year, do you want to make a mod for that game? The RPG and managing element is poorly designed in CK2 base game and were added afterwards through DLC. But I saw the CK3 delt with these elements better.

Whenever I play as a tentacle beast, I always start incapable, how do I stop this?

Change game rule for tentacle monsters to Silly.  It removes Incapable from all tentacle monsters.  Or type into console "remove_trait incapable"  Without quote marks

Tentacle.52200 and Tentacle.52002.   Selecting "Very Well" ends the encounter while "I will ravish her here and now" will trigger a tentacle rape except that the victim gets the rapist POV rather than the victim POV.  It may or may not result in self imprisonment.  It does add the "tentacle_stalking_progress 0" to the hidden character flags that can be seen via the "charinfo 1" console command.  It's cleared upon logging out then back in. 

 

Tentacle.52002 seems to trigger after a successful escape from a tentacle monster Stalk.  I've been noting Tentacle.52250, Tentacle.52252 and Tentacle.52254 as possible lead ins to Tentacle.52002 as well.   YMMV.

Is Horse lords or Nomads needed for random invasion?
