the game defaulting to non ironman and no warning before starting a game is very annoying

Wait a few months (levee's will replenish X amount per month, you can also use your mashal to increase this) until you have enough troops to comfortably siege down that holding. No need to peace out or anything. Keep an eye on what your enemy is up to in case they try to raise an army and march in before you can raise your troops.

This happened to me and I just moved my army back into friendly territory and let it replenish, then continued the siege.

Generally speaking, you should declare war while paused and then hit the "raise levies" button before unpausing.

Jabor posted:PSA for people used to land-grabbing in CK2: The way it works in CK3 is that if you have a courtier with a claim on a lower-level title, you can just push that claim, and they'll be your vassal (and also love you a lot) afterwards. No shenanigans with needing to grant them some other landed title first (and the ensuing border gore). Huge if true.

When I conquer land, how do I grant that land to my family members? I'm taking over Ireland and I don't want these conquered assholes as my vassals, I want to put my brother and nephews in their place, but I can't figure it out. Also, how do I keep courtiers / certain people happy if the only way to do so is to grant them a seat in a limited council?

After playing 40 years it feels like events are way less common than CK2. While raising up my kids I only got like two events dealing with them gaining traits and nothing has really happened to my character besides my daughter-in-law seducing me and some random military bonuses from my lifestyle.

I’m the same way, tried CK2 and EU4 many times but could never get into it. I think I got lucky with the tutorial and didn’t have the issue you did. Nonetheless, I think this game is amazing and I can feel that it’s clicking. Keep going at it patiently. It shouldn’t take long to assimilate. I lost 4 hours to this game today the same way Factorio steals time..

If I create a heresy, does it enter the pool of heresies that can randomly spawn in other countries like Lollard/Cathar or will it only spread in my lands?

Even having a good bit of experience with CK2, playing the Tutorial here was really helpful just to learn the new UI and a few of the new mechanics. Game seems Very Good and Very Crusader Kings. Looking forward to ransoming and/or killing a few of my prisoners later (one of my conquered foe’s son and grandson, lol).

I also went into the military tab, made a men at arms unit of onagers and proceeded to break into the castle with them. Worked perfectly and they were very handy for attacking elsewhere too. This is my first CK game. I had all of Ireland except for two provinces in the north under my control. Things were looking bright right up until the point I got assassinated and my kingdom broke up into three petty kingdoms, because all the kids had to get a piece. I feel I have received the real Crusader Kings experience.

Italy was a hellscape of constant war, and every attempt as a pagan count wound up with me being brutally slammed. Also crusades starting in 890 because Jorvik did well seems early

Prism posted:I also went into the military tab, made a men at arms unit of onagers and proceeded to break into the castle with them. Worked perfectly and they were very handy for attacking elsewhere too. So you either didn't form the Kingdom of Ireland, or you didn't take the automatically provided option to switch to tanistry? Anyway: something appears to be even more hosed than usual as my spymaster informs me that one of my courtiers is her own bastard daughter.  Unbelievable isn't the half of it, Ragnvald. It's actually a bug - according to the hook Finneacht has a bastard child with Muirchertach, but for some reason it's reporting her as the child.

Oh, NICE, there's a multiplayer mode as well, and a couple of my friends are picking up this game. I promised one friend I would be gentle since this is his first Crusader Kings, but he had to follow some ground rules. A) If his character has any birth defects, he may not cuck my guy. B) If his character is normal, please consider cucking me. C) If his character has great genetic traits, then will he please gently caress my wife? I wonder how long it will be until he realizes I'm dead serious?

Someone said something about imprisoning them first to avoid the negative stuff. yeah hell yeah, always good to see someone understand how crusader kings works it's not so much imprisoning them that matters, but what they do to make them get into your prison. you can do an imprison scheme but i'm not sure that will work. just do everything you can to piss them off so they try to rebel or plot against you. gently caress with their vassal contract. fire them from the council. seduce their wife. piss in their cheerios. the power is yours Mr. Fall Down Terror fucked around with this message at 22:24 on Sep 1, 2020 |
