Germanic rulers leading armies seem to have a get a combat event that lets them sacrifice an enemy commander without even dueling them, and it fires like crazy if you have a high martial (or personal combat?) skill. I'd say it's overpowered, but who cares, everything is breakable in this game if you try hard enough. The only problem is that you don't get the characters you sacrifice recorded as kills.

This is all pagans in a warrior lodge (or at least Germanic, Suomensuko, and Slavic) and it's simply an extension of the already-existing 'we captured this person in battle!' event.

Oh. It sure seems frequent. Do you get the option to execute the captured person if you're a Christian?

You can do it manually, yeah. Making a war sacrifice via the event gives you an opinion bonus with same faith zealous characters and personal combat skill.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes, look for them behind words that have changed their meaning.

If you want a forum and not a discord there is breadnroses.net

Right now they are approving goons so you don't have to pay the $10 sign up fee.

If SA is any indication, there's no avoiding politics in a place that explicitly includes it. Lots of folks definitely get routinely attacked for not being sufficiently C-SPAM in GBS and in Games threads. gently caress, we had one incredible brokebrain attack half a dozen people for liking the bougie distraction of live theater and ranted about CATS not being sufficiently socialist in GBS just like 2 months ago. And that's when not everyone is already in the echo chamber of full gay space communism now and it eventually gets moderated out; I'd hate to think how weird it would get when it's the official Right-think of a site. Though I thankfully have never had to deal with that bullshit I have no interest in doubling down on the dynamic.

Appreciate the discord link.

I mean you do you but the people running that place are not really known to be excellent or even not perma'd posters. Ads for that probably fly better elsewhere. Also lol at manual approving and other poo poo happening there.

There is a games discord available as a safety net and the modmin team is very actively working on options currently, I wouldn't jump the ship just now. Join a discord, post there or here if you want, stay put and wait for the news.

Since people have hopes for Republics in CK3, when they're eventually introduced, allowing for female rulers, what would the female equivalent of the "Patrician" title be? "Matrician" doesn't sound quite right to me.

Could just keep Patrician, like that Empress in China who used Emperor as her title. Don't like it? You'll be meeting my large adult sons in the street soon.

I think Patrician is technically a gender-neutral title even if it is derived from the latin for "father".

Goodbye stealing souls, hello stealing booty.
Can someone please explain what causes me to lose 1/3 of my army while I'm out raiding? I will have a successful siege and suddenly a huge chunk of my army just vanishes.

Also, found a fun bug. Hired some mercenaries, the game took my money but just didn't give me an army. Really hosed me for that war. Maybe my enemy got them, his army gets bigger every time I beat it.


Edit: This war is loving killing me. Me repeatedly beating his army? 0 war score. Taking the target of the war and his capital? 24% Them taking my capital? -85% I regret playing this game on ironman

Unless it's a bug you can get flavour events where either the siegers or defenders lose troops through sabotage/disease etc

I'm familiar with those, but I seem to lose 1/4 of my army, and I don't remember them being that devastating.

Edit: An "outbreak of disease" just killed 1/2 my army, over 600 men.

Besides the obvious events, you do lose a small amount of troops whenever you finish a siege in the battle to slaughter the garrison, even when the garrison's morale is at 0. I'm not sure what determines how many troops you will lose in this battle, but maybe it can get high if you're using an army that's just barely big enough to siege down a garrison?
