Questions concerning KOJ

[Teutonic Joe]

When playing KOJ i noticed that Baldwin IV isnt suffering from leprosy (i dont think i saw that in the traits...). I just thought it was weird since he suffered from leprosy since he was young (William of Tyre discovered the symptoms).
I just thought i should point this out since he outlived all my other govenors (its 1203 and hes 60...). Realistically he should have dropped dead in 1185.

Also could it be possible to make the crusades a historical event instead of a building? Sort of like Kingdoms. Richard and Philip show up around 1191. This isnt a big deal, Im just a history nerd

Also is there a position for govenors to be the Grand Master of the Templars or Hospitallars? Are there Grand Masters at all like Robert de Sable or Garnier de Nablus?

The crusades came because of major losses by the KoJ, if you have conquered Egypt and Richard still shows up to "save" you, it doesn't make much sense.

I think it would be cool to have recruitable generals for the KoJ to be Officers of one of the Orders....

[Teutonic Joe]

True....on the crusades part
Kingdoms had a grand master bodyguard but no actual character.
It was the strongest form of Templars that I believe you get just once every now and then. I think it was in on of the northern most cities you own. Near Tripoli. Just thought it would be cool to have a actual Grand Master character

Can someone please tell me how I ask for the popes aid?

I have the "cross-bulding" ...but wtf? what now?:hmmm:

[Tariq]

Building gives you percentage chance to get aid. So it's not certain that if you build it, you going to get aid for sure.

Percentage depends of size of your kingdom att when you build it, and i believe some other stuff to.

[Jush]

I'm pretty sure you have to build the "Papal Aid" structure AFTER you lose an important city like Jerusalem, Jaffa, or Acre. Then it's guaranteed that you'll get crusader aid.

I'll include a leprosy trait for 1.1 that reduces his fertility, and hitpoints. I don't know if I can shorten his lifespan though... :hmmm:

I could simply include a randomized script that picks a random date to kill him off and pop up a message "your king has died of leprosy".

[Teutonic Joe]

that sounds interesting. Could it be possible to have the events concerning that conflicts between Baldwin IV and Guy. Maybe these could be events. The Templars attacking caravans etc.

"In the summer of 1180, Baldwin IV married Sibylla to Guy of Lusignan, brother of the constable Amalric of Lusignan. Earlier historians claimed that Sibylla's second marriage was entirely due to the influence of the King's mother; however, Hamilton argues that this is to reflect uncritically the personal grievances of William of Tyre and of the Ibelins. A plan to marry Sibylla to Hugh III of Burgundy had broken down; Raymond of Tripoli seems to have been attempting to marry her to Baldwin of Ibelin to bolster his power-base. A foreign match was essential to the kingdom, bringing the possibility of external aid. With the new French king Philip II a minor, Guy's status as a vassal of the King's cousin Henry II of England - who owed the Pope a penitential pilgrimage - was useful in this respect. Baldwin also betrothed his 8-year-old half-sister Isabella to Humphrey IV of Toron, repaying a debt of honour to Humphrey's grandfather, who had given his life for him at Banias, and removing Isabella from the control of her mother and the Ibelin faction. (Her betrothed was Raynald of Chatillon's stepson.)
Guy had previously allied himself with Raynald, who was by now taking advantage of his position at Kerak to harass the trading caravans travelling between Egypt and Damascus. After Saladin retaliated for these attacks in 1182, Baldwin, now blind and unable to walk, appointed Guy regent of the kingdom.
Nevertheless, in 1183, Baldwin had become offended by Guy's actions as regent. Guy attended the wedding festivities for Isabella (now about 11) and Humphrey, held in Kerak; however, the festivities were interrupted by Saladin, who besieged the fortress with the wedding guests inside. Baldwin marshalled what strength he had and lifted the siege, but Guy refused to fight Saladin and Saladin's troops simply went home. Baldwin could not tolerate this and deposed Guy as regent. In disgrace, Guy retired to Ascalon, taking his wife the princess Sibylla with him."

Or set his age to 70 or so, and cover the historical inaccuracy by making the text of the Leprosy trait mention something about "being aged beyond his years."

[Teutonic Joe]

he was diagnosed with leprosy when he was in his teens...he wouldnt live to be 30...

[Shadowcry]

How come a few KOj units have had islamic names, not sure if it is a bug or not like Umar Shaykh for a generals name.

[Miraj]

Unless you show a screen I ain't checkin'.

[Shadowcry]

where are screenshots saved in, i havent been able to find the ones i have taken so far?

[Miraj]

I don't know where they're saved.

I do know of 2 magical buttons:

PrtScn + Ctrl-V

Okay that's more like 3, but you get the point.

[NoFrag]

I heard somewhere that baldwin wasn't affected by leprosy and died from another random virus he cought.

*EDIT* don't quote me on that tho, I'm not sure.

[Shadowcry]

Here it is

[Teutonic Joe]

he died in 1185 so that could be the set date for him to kick the bucket

[Miraj]

Here it is

LOL. I think he's a result of a successful bribe. Probably an Abbasid general got bribed.
