Are the targets converting? Is that a thing that can stop Crusades?

Is there a difference when pushing claims for vassals with strong or weak claims who are in my court? Italy is in a regency and I have a strong claim baron for this scenario in my Ironman attempt to form Rome.

The woman portion is affected by the inheritance laws. Agnatic titles can never be pushed by women and Absolute Cog titles don’t trigger the weak claim vulnerability if a woman holds it. But the regency portion always allows weak claims to be pressed.

Orcs and Ostriches posted:Are the targets converting? Is that a thing that can stop Crusades? Targets converting can stop crusades but I believe only unreformed pagans have the option to do this as a specific response to a crusade/holy war declared against them, and crusades are unlikely to go after pagan territory first since the game considers the holy land to be a higher priority.

Claim on Fatimid Egypt, their primary title. I enforce demands, and the Caliph still gets to hold onto Cairo — the county itself and the whole duchy except for the southernmost county in it, which goes to my demesne. I had occupied part of, but not all of, Cairo. No de jure drift happened. It's still de jure Egypt. Is this a special case because it's his capital? It's still his capital, and he's got other kingdoms, and personally-held land in other kingdoms as well. And it didn't give me the Shia caliphate, either. The internet says the caliphate is supposed to be attached to the primary title.  Thousands of hours in this stupid game and still I find myself not understanding mechanics. 34 years left for the Long Live The Queen points. Gotta get those hats. edit: Now my (vassal) kingdom of Egypt, 100 opinion, is busted and won't let me raise its levies, and yeah, I'm 100% sure nothing of his is raised. lol woo juche avocado fucked around with this message at 07:56 on Feb 5, 2020 |

Turns out he ... let me raise it once his daughter was released from my prison. Ok. Nothing in the game told me that he was sad about that, and I didn't even realize she was in there. Thank god for the Ramadan event that fired, prompting me to release everyone in the prison because forgiveness is a nice thing to do. lol it's back to not working juche avocado fucked around with this message at 08:51 on Feb 5, 2020 |

I am trying to form Rome and invited a man married to a woman with a claim on the Kingdom of Italy, and a son to my court. Killed a baron, installed the son’s father, killed the father, then killed the mother, then suddenly had a Baron with a claim on Italy! Felt very good to press that claim. Now my next question is should I become Hellenic before forming Rome or after? The duchies I’m missing are Tunis, Croatia and Latinum. All that work to reform the schism was for naught, though I guess it made it easier since the moral authority of Catholicism went into the gutter. And I took the entire Kingdom of Egypt in one war from the Abbasids with a Jade Dragon CB. It is only 901 in my game, I'm thinking I have a definite shot at some big achievements now.

I'd say restore Hellenism before you achieve your game's ultimate goal, because it's fun, and nice to play around with when it "actually matters." If you wait, you may end up with a campaign with no fun aspects to it other than the new religion, which kind of feels like playing for a sunk cost fallacy, at least to me. Sounds like you're Orthodox and aren't reliant on crusades to form Rome, so go for it. Being the only independent ruler of your religion will be more interesting than barely-there Orthodox mechanics. When you do the Hellenic Reformation, you should pick whatever the blood god tenent is, the one that Aztecs have. Sacrifice prisoners to the Gods and get boosts and, ideally, the achievement that's tied to a bloody bloodline. I think the wiki suggests good synergies, and I think it suggests this one. (sorry for not crosschecking with the wiki for the proper names for the vague things I'm describing)

There was another dev diary explaining the stewardship perk tree: https://www.crusaderkings.com/news I want some dev diaries about the map. A nice big new map where things don't feel cluttered and cramped is one of the things I'm most looking forward to.

The terrain has gotten detailed enough that it actually looks kind of odd with just the holding structure in each barony. Especially the lonely little churches.

Isn't that just an excommunited antipope lifting his excommunication when his liege pressed his claim?

The pope lifted the excommunication of himself at the request of himself. The pop did not lift the excommunication of himself that was the result of him excommunicating himself.

Speaking of excommunication, Pepin the Hunchback, Devil Child, was excommunicated twice in his first year of rulership. First time I was like, "hey pope man, could you not?" and he was like "aight, gimme some more Italy." I went "sure, have at" and like a week later he was all "you're still literally Satan, I'm excommunicating you again."

You should tempt a random bishop in your empire to the dark side via satanism, then make him your loyal pope, I think!

From what I've seen I think CKIII is going to be fantastic at modding Westeros, but I'm not so sure about real history. A little too RPGish and not enough border gore.

I'm probably the only person who's a little disappointed that baronies will just always go with the county now no matter what. I mean I can understand why not doing this is annoying in CK2 because it's hard to find the loving things when you're trying to use a decision that requires 100% control of territory, but with baronies being on the map itself it would be a lot easier to see, and it would make for some beautiful border gore.

Honestly, when they expanded tributaries from the original, somewhat restrictive version, I was kinda expecting them to take the HRE and rework it to use that instead of traditional vassals. I'm not surprised they didn't, but I could see that being neat.

What do you think I meant by lack of border gore. Of course I'm disappointed that there baronies can't be inherited or fought over separately. Also, is this true? People under house arrest can't escape anymore? Lame!

Oh freddled gruntbuggly, Thy micturations are to me As plurdled gabbleblotchits on a lurgid bee. I'm excited about CK3, I love CK2 but I don't play it that much because it feels clunky and it's showing its age imo. Despite being only 1 year "younger", EU4 feels quite a bit better UI-wise. Also I hate the fact that some events seem to never happen while others happen all the time: never had a pet beside the hunting dog, never had the immortality quest chain, but sure had a lot of demon babies, Robin Hoods and Joan of Arcs. Also never ever managed to get the White Stag despite trying for it, I don't know, several dozen times. This is probably just personal bias, but sure feels like I see some events over and over and over again...
