Ice Fist posted:This bothers me. I really don't give a poo poo about garrison size. I want to know at a glance how many levies I am getting from a holding, but it switches between showing garrisons and levies. It's dependent on whether you're at war or not. When at peace the icon will show your holding's income and levy yield and when at war it shows fort level and garrison size.

Also for those having trouble, spend every dime you can on economic buildings in your capital county and build any extra castle holdings you can there too. I've had 30,000+ gold for as long as I can remember and any war can be won by simply stacking mercs.

Zig-Zag posted:So in my pandya game I managed to get to a pretty decent size and I have all my holdings filled up. I'm building sacred temples on the holy sites will I get the realm wide bonus if I don't directly control them? Okay, I looked this up because I was only pretty-sure I was right how it worked and drat, I was right but it's a lot more complicated than that. Basically, as far as I can tell, the various special temples on the holy sites will only grant you bonuses if you hold it personally. I think this means you need to have a faith with lay clergy and you as the temporal head of the religion, but maaaybe it also works if you have lay clergy and no religion head? Definitely does not work if you have theocratic clergy, even if you own the county the holding with the holy site is in. BUT, having anyone of your faith holding a holy site gives everyone with that faith a bonus. I thought it was like, a small same bonus but apparently each holy site has a unique bonus which is loving crazy. List here, from the CK3 wiki. Does anyone know for sure if leasing out the temple to your court priest (lay clergy / no head of faith) means you don't get the temple bonus? I feel like it wouldn't because of how "leasing" works but uh, I'm not totally sure. The "realm" / "demesne" distinction is basically the biggest problem CK3 has in terms of interface, IMO, there's all sorts of things that seem really confusing. Eimi posted:Tech is another one where I'm iffy on. It's incredibly fast if you focus on it, and it feels too....discrete? I'm probably alone in this but I liked how gradual the CK2 tech system was. Yeah, this was a useful and good post, thanks. I wanted to undersign the tech bit -- I feel like the tech system is going to get a total overhaul at some point. I feel very strange about the link between tech and culture, and the culture head thing. I don't like it from a gameplay perspective and I find something a little iffy about the like... implicit politics of that decision? Idk, not trying to cancel anyone here, just smells a bit like cultural existentialism to me and that makes me kinda uncomfortable. But more importantly I think the speeds are weird, the tree not super interesting, the hard limits an awkward compromise, and ultimately the series of decisions around tech simply are not interesting enough.

A God drat Ghost posted:I just got a banner event stating, "Some rear end in a top hat duke is now your Chancellor. He cannot be fired for 25 years" or something like that. No idea what triggered it. This duke doesn't have a contract that guarantees him a spot on the council. I'm really curious what could have happened - anyone seen that? It's worth noting that when a vassal forces their way onto your council you can also still reassign them to other council positions in case they have a good skill.

Definitely does not work if you have theocratic clergy, even if you own the county the holding with the holy site is in. If you start as tribal, you don't need to have lay clergy to hold a county with a holy site on it because it won't start with a temple holding in it. You could build a castle there and hold it, and that's if it isn't in the county capital where there will be a castle after the transition. At least, I'm pretty sure that's how it works. And you are correct that if you lease a temple out to a realm priest, you don't get any benefits from the baronies they hold--those with temple holdings in them, including holy site special buildings.

Excelzior posted:help another dude in that petty kingdom get his earldom until you can take that petty kingdom for yourself, then you WILL in fact be their rightful liege In other words, the Burger King needs to give the conquered McDonald's to the newly transferred vassal of Duke McCheese, then create for himself the title of Emperor of All Burger Franchises, which is a title both Burger King and McDonald's are a part of, making him the rightful ruler of both. This will also grant him a valid casus belli against the remaining un-vassalized kingdom of the Five Guys.

Eimi posted:The prosperity system of CK2 was great, where a plague or siege was actually a major setback destroying years of work, but I'm not sure it's possible to lose dev now, is it? I would like to speak of illnesses, but since my ck3 games have never held up long enough to get the Black Death, is it as utterly devastating as it is in ck2? This is an excellent overview of concerns and, while I don't agree with them all I'm not really trying to pick it apart, but I'll note (as someone for whom prosperity was my favourite feature of Reaper's Due) that it actually is possible to lose dev: most dramatically from Mongols, but, more frequently from raids and certain province events - the key there is that from raids at least, you only lose dev if the current development progress level isn't high enough when the county is sacked, and this can't happen more often than once every twenty years (which might be too generous, maybe?)

Not that much, you can get there in a few generations but have to be very selective about spouses and ensuring that only heirs with good genes inherit. Investing in the dynasty tree also helps. Then once you get strong blooded, basically every child in your house will be born with these stats.

No unique events, decisions, and no special buildings at all. I'm guessing we are going to see them get some love in the inevitable East Asia DLC though.

That guide some one posted earlier about the MoAs is 100% spot on. Build barracks everywhere, get a healthy split of pikemen and heavy infantry, and you too can have a personal teleporting death squad that mulches armies 5-10 times bigger. The AI can't even really accurately gauge them so they will gladly send their people into the thresher.

You can make pretty much any MaA unstoppable with a couple duchy buildings and some of the county buildings. Also, it is best to superinvest in one type of MaA and overwhelm any counter as opposed to having a balanced army, personally I prefer light cavalry because they have pursuit and the county building gives gold

Yeah as someone pointed out even if your solo army is countered by one other unit, it's only like a 10% reduction meanwhile whatever your army counters will make the effectiveness of the countered enemy like 5% because quantity has a quality all its own

I generally have my siege MAA in its own army with some levies to bulk it up and a Siege Leader. They carve out a line for supplies, rando levy armies are there to fill in the gaps more slowly while the main MAA host also sieges at the front lines while screening for enemy forces, and if there's a doomstack I can bring up the levies from behind

I disinherited my second son after I got an event that my wife had been cheating on me. So both my kingdom titles would end up with my other son. Excellent. Except he died in battle, woops. Anyway, my ruler dies, and my heir is my 1 year old grandson. Playing as a kid is pretty hard. Can't sway, can't scheme, can't hold feasts etc, your stats suck... Luckily my previous ruler janked the crown authority up to absolute just before he died, so when the faction threatened to go to war I just gave in. I also pressed some vassals claims, created and gave away some duchies, anything I can think of to keep my vassals from revolting. Thank God my spymaster has great stats and really likes me for some reason. This game owns.
