Just had to request a steam refund because the game doesn't support my antiquated graphics card and the world map is unplayably broken

Playing one of the nordic kings and nothing crazy yet, but my wife and concubines are pumping out nordlets as fast as they can and I just squashed a peasant uprising. Seriously I have like six kids in three years. I'm pretty dense when it comes to strat games but this was surprisingly easy to pick up. I played through the tutorial twice just to be sure I had a grasp on the basics. I'm sure I'm missing some of the subtler mechanics but it's fun to just dive in and start grabbing land.

luxury handset posted:unless i completely misunderstand you, in this case the capital barony is not what you should care about, but rather who holds the title. if a bishopric is formed where the bishop vassal is a count, then you can't switch them away by designating a new capital. instead, you would need to revoke the county title from the bishop and grant it either to the castle holding owner or the city mayor if you want to make a republic What happened was that I took over a theocratic county. With too low innovation level (and no available slots anyway), I couldn't really revoke anything or build anything new, but after some very generous knighting of the local (childless) baron and sending him off to war, the barony in the same county became mine as well. I would have expected at that point to be able to point to the barony and go “I own the county; I own the barony; I want the latter to be the capital of the former (so I can then sell of the church to some sucker courtier)” — essentially the same as what you're describing for a vassal, but for myself. But I couldn't find any way of doing that. I hadn't really considered converting it via vassal use, but that wouldn't have done me much good given the amount of hoop-jumping needed to get it back afterwards since revocations aren't unlocked yet. And either way, as you say, it seems more like a bug that you can't just assign a different holding as capital when you own everything in a county, so that kind of work-around shouldn't really be needed. Hence my hoping that it's just a classic case of UI blindness.

beer_war posted:Yeah, this one is kind of a dealbreaker right now. You can't attach to allied armies, you can't tell them to attach to your armies, you can't tell them what to focus on, they just run around without rhyme or reason and you have to try your best to keep up lest your enemy picks you off one by one. i had to surrender a war because my allies refused to put their combined 6k of army anywhere close to a siege or a battle, up until the point a random 8k stack that wasnt even involved in the war wandered by and they all decided to fight it, one by one, and all got stack wiped. at one point i was sat here like this for a good minute or two and they wouldnt move. there were also other provinces that needed sieging down both mine and the enemies and they wouldnt go do anything. they even cancelled out of moving into battles with me multiple times.  i would be wary about any offensive wars where youre reliant on your allies to bolster you. if its just to push you over the edge its usually fine but if youre planningg on relying on them to be most of your muscle id change plans, and dont depend on them being enough in an actual defensive war if theyre not a straight up deterrent to getting decced at all.

Unlucky7 posted:So I am guessing that going for King of Ireland after the tutorial is a good first game? I will see how far I go. I'm discovering that picking the 800's start isn't a very good idea for there. I got the duchies of Munster and Leinster formed, but lost Desmond to the Danes, am being stared at by the other Britannic Ásatrú pretty hungrily, and by the time it occurred to me to try and get marriage alliances to defend myself every powerful character nearby already had all their kids married to other realms.

Being tethered to Partition succession for a good long while definitely makes centralizing and becoming super swole take longer this go around. I am loving about in Andalusia and boy are Muslim casus belli still strong as hell. One question though How do you reform a religion instead of making a new one? Say I wanted to tweak Muwalladism or what have you.

maybe ive just been extremely unlucky then, but ive gone with a run where my strategy has been abusing calling in ai allies a lot and going into prestige debt and its been a nightmare, im going to move away from doing it. it seems to get worse the more allies you call in. when ive brought in one i can mostly reliably get them to lock onto my stack, but splitting to siege multiple things has made them flip out and it seems difficult to get them to stick on a siege themselves and not get distracted. bringing in three or four allies has consistently been a trainwreck in the 3 or 4 wars ive done it in and i wont be doing it again, they just dont work right and seem to have a lot of issues working out which stack should go where that often ends up with them doing nothing or just endlessly going into a pathfinding loop like in ck2 or eu4 where they just keep moving and stopping. it wouldnt be so bad if there was an attach button like before. rest of the game is great tho, just my fault for going for something strange and having it break.

The Stress mechanic really makes you feel like some sort of trickster demon who really just ruins the lives of your character. I drove this sweet little lady with the nice traits like Compassionate and Just into coldblooded murder because I really wanted this guy's poo poo and she had a nervous breakdown and started hitting the bottle. She had adopted a stray cat that sometimes took the anxiety away but I made her give it up because it kept attacking courtiers. Feasts don't help either because she's Shy and doesn't like being around people. So the best I can do is have her stay secluded and take little bits of stress off by refusing to answer letters.

JosefStalinator posted:Is there a way to customize your ruler at the start now, or is that feature gone? It's gone for now but I have seen a lot of people acting like it's going to returning, but I don't know if that's assumption or confirmed by Paradox. Btw on levies not refilling, be aware that the big number on your military screen includes any special troops you have, like the ones Halfdan starts with in Jorvik; the thing is these stacks don't reinforce so you can be sitting there after a few big battles wondering why you can't get above like 1100 out of your supposed total of 5800 troops or whatever. You also can't delete the special units, I eventually had them worn down to like 5 mans each so I raised only them and walked them into a big enemy stack, once they got wiped out entirely they vanished from the military screen and my troop total was accurate. Really missed some opportunities because I thought recovering manpower just took an insanely long time and didn't want to start a war at what looked to be under 20% strength

Captain Oblivious posted:Being tethered to Partition succession for a good long while definitely makes centralizing and becoming super swole take longer this go around. I'm playing the tutorial and it's not SO bad, I got an elective succession for my kingdom title and then I just kinda revoke whatever duchy I lost in the hubbub. Crush revolt, revoke titles, reorganize realm, etc. A few things I've noticed after playing the game nearly nonstop since release: -War can still be pretty annoying, allies will leave you out to dry sometimes and just not gather with you, sometimes they are good, sometimes not, who knows! And then the whackamole begins. -A character focused on stewardship makes so much money. Like, so much. Way more than any of my previous rulers, drat. -One of my favorite rulers was a Shy ruler who I kept forcing into social situations and drank all the time to deal with the stress. So far several of my Irish rulers "drank themselves to death" (which just seems to mean dying of old age with the Drunkard trait) -I did find what I think may be bugs, the house head does not seem to work very well, often my king would not be the house head and instead it'd be some random wanderer, child, or duchess instead. That doesn't seem right. And it seems that swapping my realm capital does not change which duchy my primary heir inherits. Not sure if I'm missing a way to change my "primary" duchy. -On a positive bug side, it seems like the crusade/war contribution is weighted heavily in favor of the player or something, I was getting ridiculous contribution to the crusade even though I doubt I was the main combatant. Every time I sent a force and did at least some battle and sieged 1-2 counties it'd give me max contribution. -Seljuks are hilarious because they have like several hundred living dynasty members and blob like nothing else. It's really fun. Magil Zeal fucked around with this message at 06:55 on Sep 2, 2020 |

I've sort of checked out from Paradox games for awhile. I really liked CK because things could blow up Dwarf Fortress-style for reasons entirely out of your control, and I really disliked CK2 because Johan decided that the game should cater to min-maxing dorks like Arumba who want to spend time strategizing over getting a +6% to tax levying by betrothing a courtier from the Orkney Islands or whatever rather than making a fun roleplaying game. Anyway I'm wondering if CK3 is more of a fun and believable roleplay experience or if it is it more of the gamefied CK2 experience

I did the same thing I'm hearing a lot of in this thread: "I'm tired tonight, I'll just breeze through the tutorial and get into it for real on a night when I have more time..." and then look up and it's six hours later.Stux posted:maybe ive just been extremely unlucky then, but ive gone with a run where my strategy has been abusing calling in ai allies a lot and going into prestige debt and its been a nightmare, im going to move away from doing it. it seems to get worse the more allies you call in. when ive brought in one i can mostly reliably get them to lock onto my stack, but splitting to siege multiple things has made them flip out and it seems difficult to get them to stick on a siege themselves and not get distracted. bringing in three or four allies has consistently been a trainwreck in the 3 or 4 wars ive done it in and i wont be doing it again, they just dont work right and seem to have a lot of issues working out which stack should go where that often ends up with them doing nothing or just endlessly going into a pathfinding loop like in ck2 or eu4 where they just keep moving and stopping. it wouldnt be so bad if there was an attach button like before. Where I've had luck with them is making sure I have enough troops of my own to do the siege, the AI allies seem content to chase the countersieging rear end in a top hat armies all around the map walloping the crap out of them while I sit on the city walls. Just don't expect them to help out on the actual siege. Hopefully they do some kind of attach army thing in the future.

My murder-king of Leon got good use out of his intrigue stat. Offed the Castile brother and invaded Navarre, but still didn’t have enough levies to conquer Galicia. So I murdered the brother over there too, and since his infant son had zero martial skill and no allies it was a quick victorious war. Then every Muslim on the peninsula and halfway to Baghdad invaded me and I died, but it was a good run. 10/10 would poison again.
