Score only updates when your current dynastic leader dies, his score is calculated and added to it. It only updates on dynasty leaders death, and displays the score of past leaders, sort of like a "Your ancestors did this, DO BETTER!"

Great mod, but I have a question. My kingdom keeps getting hit by "infestation" events, giants, skeaver, bandits, etc. Can you get rid of these, or do you have to wait until they just go away? Also, what factors determine whether infestation events will trigger?

Going over your demesne limit will increase the chance of infestations appearing, as will being at war, having "Cabals" in your provinces, having low stewardship skill. Having "bad" traits such as slothful, absent minded etc will also increase the chance of them.
Conversely having a high stewardship skill, being within your demesne limit (or even under it), having good traits like diligent will decrease the chance.

No, technically the only "required" DLC is Legacy of Rome.

0.1.3a of the mod is intended for CK2 1.101. Paradox released CK2 1.102 yesterday, but due to the shear number of changes we've been working on a complete 0.1.3b/0.1.4 won't be released just yet. In the interim you can download a "quickfix" for 0.1.3a which should make the mod playable on 1.101 here: Ck2.knuddelwuddel.net

As you're on a mac, you'll need a .zip archive instead of an executable. You can find the .zip archive on the paradox forums;

i'm on a pc, i got it to install but the graphics are entirely wrong, the ocean near morrowind, summerset isles, and the imperial isle looks like land and every map mode except terrain shows up as dark gray/black. it's so messed up it's unplayable, which sucks because this is my dream mod as an elder scrolls fan.

Sounds like you're running on a low-end PC with a 32-bit operating system or less than 3GB RAM.

It varies between people but the major issue is the memory issues with 32bit operating systems or a lack of system memory.

You can try reading the first post in this thread and seeing if anything in there helps getting the mod running properly for you;

Hey JRP, awesome work with the mod, it gave me a lot more nerdgasms than the ASOIAF mod did (don't get me wrong, that's brilliant too). However, I would like to report a problem during gameplay in this particular mod - it always crashes when I try to click on the "Court" tab in my character's menu. I have installed the fix since I'm running 1.02 and the game doesn't seem to crash in any other particular moment, so far. Any ideas, kind sir?

If you scroll up and click "read more+" in the download summary, and spend a second to read the info there, your problems will be solved.

OK, I see that now. I got all the DLC's working, the game is up to date and the only issue I have is that issue with the court and allies. Whenever I click on either of those, the game crashes. Other than that, everything is good. Although the events kinda spam you, don't know if that is intentional.

I downloaded the mod, and the most recent patches, used the installer, and moved the patch file to override the installed folders in the directory. Now, when I launch the mod, it doesn't even show a loading screen, just a black screen, and then I am forced to CTRL+ALT+DEL to get out. (64bit with 4gb ram). I have tried every existing idea to fix this, if any assistance could be provided, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

I have solved the issue, it had a compatibility problem with a program I was running, after disabling it (It's a program I created to improve computer performance) it was able to run smoothly.
