This is my first Paradox game and I expected to be confused but I'm confused in a pretty weird way because of how little resistance there is to the player in the tutorial start. I trivially formed Ireland by sending my bishop to fabricate a claim county by county and smashing it with my army. Then the last few areas I hadn't conquered begged to be my vassals but the game explained to me that this isn't ideal because I'm not really "supposed" to be their liege. I suppose I could have fixed this by FABRICATING MORE CLAIMS, which seems like a weirdly all powerful button. But would it also have worked if I intermarried someone in my family with someone in these other counties and then appointed them ruler of that area but also have them report to me as king? Is that a thing? I think I need some kind of explanation on how the hierarchy works. Is the game supposed to be this easy or is just because I'm on the tutorial start? Should I start over as someone else? I feel like having obstacles in my way is how I learn a game (by surpassing them) and there's none so far. Biggest pet peeve with actual UI so far is how often it tells me to go some part of the UI but not HOW. It's like "Check out Control in the domain tab" but nowhere does it say which area is the domain tab (I know where its now). Or it's like: don't attack this dude, there's a truce! But nothing in the tooltip or the encyclopedia explains where to find truce details. Also someone died in my dungeon and I didn't even know they were in there. Seems historically accurate though. I can tell I am going to like this game as I'm still thinking about it a couple of hours later.

Is that a thing? I think I need some kind of explanation on how the hierarchy works. i don't know what the tutorial said, but nah - once you've got enough of ireland (or any de jure realm) to form the kingdom, then at that point you can tell all the other suckers you are now their de jure liege lord, and they need to bend the knee or get terminated. getting enough land to deem yourself the High Lord of Suckertown so that you can rope up a bunch of new vassals is one of the primary ways to expand in this game. it's not about land as much as it is about titles, and what land those titles allow you to boss around you only really need to play the title fabrication game as a count when you're trying to snipe enough counties to form a duchy, and then enough duchies to form a kingdom. after that other forms of expansion are more time and cost effective than dicking around with one county at a time for this though quote:But would it also have worked if I intermarried someone in my family with someone in these other counties and then appointed them ruler of that area but also have them report to me as king? Is that a thing? yeah, this works. you marry your kid to their kid, if their kids don't inherit the title outright then maybe they get a claim, which you can then press in war. for obvious reasons this takes a long time, and the marriage game to generate title inheritance and claims can get confusing. it's often better to just go to the title, see if there are any adult claimants already wandering around, then try to entice them to your realm so you can press the claim quote:I think I need some kind of explanation on how the hierarchy works. so there's five levels of titles barony county duchy kingdom empire as a player, you can never be just a baron. you're always at least a count. if you're a count, and another count swears vassalage to you, he'll be mad because you're the same rank in the heierarchy, and he will want to be independent. if you are the duke of whatever duchy that county is in, then it is right and proper that he will be your sworn vassal and you his liege lord and he may be pissed at you for many other reasons but not because of rank problems. if the count is not part of your duchy then he might be kind of mad because you're not his de jure lord, but you are his de facto lord and you are a duke at least. the actual de jure duke may come knocking though if he exists the same is true up the chain. a king bosses around dukes like a duke bosses around counts. note that the terms count, duke, king may change depending on culture - in the british isles, a count is an 'earl' or in scandinavia a 'jarl', but it all means the same thing. a duke in a realm with no king at all may style himself a petty king, but functionally he's a duke 8-bit Miniboss posted:Click on the army and you should see the commanding character (presumably the your leader in question) in the lower left.

only two complaints so far is that tanistry succession is a decision instead of a law you can pass and even after taking the decision the law page still lists your succession type as the default and one time my AI ally sat one province away and refused to reinforce my army that was fighting a battle it just barely lost other than that the game owns

Don't think so since I don't have any vassal. Interestingly enough when I raised my levies and went to war, it reinforced to the cap. So maybe its just a bug.

It's incredibly painful though to go feudal, you now need 5 development in your capital and ALL tribal innovations, which may take a while depending on your culture.

Everyone will tell you Ireland but the start has become a hell of a lot harder with the boat changes and AI changes. I started in south Africa next to the Congo and really liked it. Lots of neighbors to raid and you have a huge buffer from the Congo.

luxury handset posted:tutorial is supercharged. you start with a big pile of gold and a bunch of free buildings Thanks. This makes sense. What the game warned me about was lower levies/taxes from the new vassals which is explained by de jure vs de facto lord. I think for now I need to write down the titles and matching Irish versions and put the note in front my keyboard until I internalize it. Will it become obvious to me as I play what the triggers are for various cassu belli other than the super obvious ones I know already or should I look that up?

reignonyourparade posted:drat, seems like there's possibly not currently any way to change capitals? You can. It's next to the name on the capital holding. Game absolutely rules. Glad it wasn't released on a weekend or else I'd only have stopped once my eyes started bleeding. Intended for a few quick Ironman games to lose quickly to get a feel for the game, so hit random character a bunch and ended up with the duke of Moray. He had an intrigue education so I tried playing to his strengths, which ended with pretty much nothing of value being accomplished and losing every single war I entered. His son comes around and he was shy and humble so I ended up eschewing his martial and going towards a stewardship focus....which quickly started getting me ludicrous amounts of gold from blackmailing people. And suddenly I was winning every war, unified Scotland and went crazy. And then his granddaughter inherited and I knew this was the character. Stewardship built up again and Scotland was quickly insanely rich and built up, which easily leveraged into uniting the Empire of Britannia. I really love how different each character feels. And there's enough stuff and internal management to do that I barely feel compelled to conquer/scheme my way to thrones unless the character demands it. Everything just feels more impactful and meaningful.

You know, I hadn't really played Crusader Kings until the tutorial. I kept playing the tutorial after it had ended and was wondering when all the weird stuff was going to start happening and boy. Within a year my own spymaster came to me to reveal the secret that he had committed adultery, essentially turning himself in, which was followed by my primary heir dying making my granddaughter, who has the possessed trait my primary heir. She then turned around and began a romance scheme against me. Hmmm, Yes, I think I can dump another few thousand hours into this game

ultrachrist posted:Will it become obvious to me as I play what the triggers are for various cassu belli other than the super obvious ones I know already or should I look that up? the thing is claims. you want claims if you're playing catholic. your bishop can make up fake claims, but this is slow and expensive (still much better than it was in ck2) if you're looking at a neighboring title you want, click its shield. at the top right you should see a list of claimants, if there are any. you don't need to take the land yourself into your domain, you can also invite someone to your court then go to war on that person's behalf. they will then become your vassal. this is much easier than it was in ck2 because if you pressed the claim before hooking someone into your realm somehow via dynasty or landing then you'd just make a new independent realm anyway, if you don't have any claims to press, see if you can press someone else's claim you also get a free claim on anyone who is not your vassal but are part of your de jure realm. so if you crown yourself king of goonlandia, then all the associated counts and dukes better fall in line or you'll come to visit. if anyone in your de jure realm is a vassal to a different large realm, then you'll have to fight that whole realm, so be careful a big one later is holy wars, and pagans or tribals can generally just conquer counties at will with no special reason. all this song and dance about proper land ownership is for stuffy feudals Grem posted:Are vassals automatically building on their own or do I have to micromanage every drat County? in ck2 they build on their own, i think the same is true for ck3. building happens very slowly, because it is expensive. you can completely ignore your vassal lands the entire game, there is very little reason to ever mess with them on a per-holding level. maybe you'll park a councilor in some county to kill bandits or build mills or find heretics or whatever but that's controlling your councilor tasks, not caring about what happens in flyover county one of the brilliant things about crusader kings as a design is that it eliminates the tedious micro endemic to the 4x genre. you always have to either do the optimized but boring busywork yourself, or grin and bear it as your AI subordinates gently caress up. in crusader kings, hosed up dipshit assholes ruling most of your realm is part of the core feature set of the game!
