Serephina posted:The trick to converting large houses is to constantly be taking kids as your wards. Sort the character finder by age and take the two oldest 14-year olds, as the SECOND each turns 15 and you convert them immediately ditch them for the next oldest 14-year old. Barring twins, you're guaranteed to get every single new adult born into your house, while you use personal plots to convert the landed adults. It can take a decade or two, but it's totally reliable if you commit to it. Wait, so you only need to be educating them when they turn 15 for that? Good to know. Still a lot of manual work. Obviously, doing that will screw up their education but not a bad idea if you specifically just want to make the coven. You can also save a character finder filter to help you - just be aware that it'll persist into other games which can be confusing (why do i have a filter for some random nobody house's children?) so you should probably delete it once you're done

This week's DD isn't patch notes but it is about various event chains being added in Friends and Foes, including a new mechanic for triggering and prosecuting blood feuds between houses. That last one looks really cool and in general I like the idea of adding a lot to the interpersonal relations game in CK3 (especially because it's something that is always happening and chaotically driven by the AI characters, so it helps liven things up when there isn't a war to prosecute or a succession to plan) but am I the only one that's a bit weirded out that the DLC releases in two days and they still haven't told us how much they're charging?

House feuds look fun, exactly the way to make random people significant to your character's lives that the game needs more of!

Lack of events was one of the main things lacking going from CK2 to 3 so an event pack seems like a good idea to me. Better than just having a couple trotted out piecemeal each DLC release that are related to DLC content. It was one of the things I wanted a lot in CK2 even. For reddit I imagine it was "We've always gotten events free before and now they are nickel and diming us on them!" ignoring that an actual DLC centered on them is completely different.

Because it costs money. They think there should only be 2 kinds of DLC: full game-sized expansions and Byzantium flavor packs. Anything else is a money grab. In all seriousness, I think they are pissed that Paradox raised the prices of flavor packs in order to have a decent price point for lesser DLCs like this one. I'm not sure how much of this is true, that's just what I've gleaned from looking over there. I go hot and cold with the CK community on Reddit, there is just so many "LOL Incest" memes I can take.

Does anyone here not play in speed 5? I imagine there's a more precise way to game, but I feel like speed five, pausing rapidly and often, is the way to go for me. That said: it doesn't feel like mechanically the game was optimized for speed 5. For example, Fate of Iberia adds quite a few events that don't auto-pause the game and for leaving them up for even 2 seconds on speed 5, the game will timeout the event with negative repercussions. Am I missing something by not playing on lower speeds?

Personally I play on speed 3 and try to pause as little as possible. I could buy an argument for playing on Speed 4 if you wanted to ensure you'd exceed your attentive capacity, or Speed 2 once they add the new events and you can play slow and form relationships with other characters, but not Speed 5, never Speed 5. That said though, I'm pretty sure Speed 5 is just "as fast as your computer can run days" rather than any particular speed, so exactly how fast speed 5 is might vary significantly person to person; my Speed 5 is vastly too fast to do anything, armies just teleport.

I’m on 3 like 90% of the time and jump up to 4 if I really have nothing going on. Trying to control armies on 4 can be tough some times as I can’t make changes fast enough if I’m trying to chase down an army (or avoid one). For questions, this is only my second real run with a Muslim ruler. Is Clan tied to being a Muslim, or is it a culture thing? I’d like to go real feudal, but I don’t see any way to do that. Another one, I just did Appoint Righteous Caliph. Is this handed down, or something each of my guys will need to do? I’m not sure it’s worth it as doing this also caused a bunch of my vassals to convert from Muladi to Ash’ari.

What's the bottleneck on CK3 usually? I got a RTX 3090 and an i7-8700K. I wouldn't say my armies are teleporting, but they are tough to manage at speed 5. I'll only drop it to 4 and micro if the enemy is somewhat even. Else I'll just siege and ignore the enemy, which doesn't necessitate dropping the speed.

I’d like to go real feudal, but I don’t see any way to do that. I think it's a title thing. If your top title is clan, it can be hard to go feudal. I think if you get your heir a feudal title that's higher than yours, so your titles they inherit wont become their primary, that can be a way to go feudal. Though, I'm not really clear myself. I remember this being a problem for me the time I played as a clan. EDIT: It might be more than hard to go from clan to feudal.

Bottleneck is CPU, yeah.Bird in a Blender posted:For questions, this is only my second real run with a Muslim ruler. Is Clan tied to being a Muslim, or is it a culture thing? I’d like to go real feudal, but I don’t see any way to do that. It's sort of both, all Muslim rulers in the start of the game are Clan type rulers as far as I know, and if you are a Tribal Muslim you don't have the option to become Feudal, but only to Clan. But I think if you are already Feudal you can convert to Islam and stay Feudal. There is no defined way to switch between Clan and Feudal in game. If you are Feudal and Islamic I have no idea what happens to opposing religion characters you grant counties to, nor what happens if you convert to a non Islamic religion and grant land away. But you can swing a trick to convert from Tribal to Feudal (conquer Feudal land, grant it to your unlanded player heir, give them a title equal in level to your top level title, die), so it's possible something like that could be done.

PittTheElder posted:Bottleneck is CPU, yeah. Yeah. Unfortunately it's way harder to do Clan to Feudal that way (since anyone you grant land to also becomes Clan). If you really had to do it, I would swing Clan to Tribal (either by the trick or by owning a tribal holding, temporarily granting your castles away, and taking the "Embrace Tribalism" decision) and then Tribal to Feudal (either by the trick or by feudalization). I think becoming a temporal head of faith used to change your government, but not anymore

As it is explained, De Jure drift seems relatively straight forward, but I don't think the rules are as they are written. I also think drift changes in a pretty noticeable way when you have an empire title above you.

Speed 5 is what I use when I'm just skipping forward to something happening. When I realize I've spent most of a ruler's life in Speed 5 is usually when I declare that dynasty finished. Typically I'm only below Speed 4 either when things are really dicey or I'm in a war situation and timing down movement to the day or something like that. The game does a pretty good job of pausing when you need to handle something, although I wish it was more customizable.

So I probably shouldn't have but I went to the CK3 reddit because it got mentioned earlier and I found something very interesting. One of the devs posted a rework of Bohemond of Antioch: https://old.reddit.com/r/CrusaderKings/comments/x79guj/now_presenting_newer_sexier_bohemond/ Even more interesting is their post about why: quote:Rule 5: A few weeks ago I noticed this thread, highlighting a few notable characters. Down in the comments, /u/luka031, the submitter, bemoaned how Bohemond didn't exactly fit the description that Anna Komnene gave him: And in the comments further down they say: quote:If you read the Alexiad you'll probably get the impression that Anna was down bad for basically everyone. Here's her depiction of Maria of Alania, for example: Not that those of us who have been pining away for an Alexiad start or Byzantine drama becoming more dynamic really need even more to get our hopes up but....well, there you go.

Not sure how long it takes for them to show up on the map with the countdown timer. I just noticed that as soon as the Kingdom next to me drifted in, the next one started at 99 years. Edit: I also use speed 5 a bit - mostly during sieges or long army treks (love to put down factions in Russia when my raised troops just finished off one in India!) or when waiting for schemes/etc. Speed 3 when specifically waiting for stuff.

I use speed 5 a lot in EU4 and did the same in CK2, but CK3 runs waaaay too fast on speed 5 than either of those two games did for me, to the point where it's virtually impossible to control. Now if only Stellaris could run that fast on max speed in the late game...

Speed 1 exists so that you can sit there looking at the screen getting bored. There's a chance you realize you can do something proactive and useful. You add that to your mental checklist and then go back playing at speed 5 like a sane person.CapnAndy posted:I'll buy event packs for $5 for as long as they want to make 'em for me. CK3 expansion model is really the best Paradox has ever done. You can ignore all the DLCs and get great updated mechanics, and a complete proper game. No QoL features behind paywall or anythibg.

It's risky, but if I have to move my army a long ways, I tend to disband and then raise it again at a closer point. You pay the time penalty, but at least then you get a fresh army closer to the war. I've gotten caught doing this trick though as it took too long to re-raise the army, and you have to make sure to raise them far enough away that they won't get crushed while forming. Also helps if you don't need the full strength of your army to beat someone.
