Arsenic Lupin posted:Hey, Lord Mune, would it be useful if I made a list of the points in the tutorial where I, a near-noob, was hopelessly confused? I mean, more than my usual state of confusion. Absolutely! We may or may not already have a tweaked version ready for a future patch, but the evolving nature of our games means we're never going to stop working on the tutorial.

any true doom crusader heads know if its a better idea to make all the kingdom titles and stuff in my empire and have just a few very powerful vassals or keep them all as dukes? i dont seem to get a malus for holding kingdoms. I guess i'll lose them anyway with partition. speaking of is there any way out of confederate partition as a tribal?

hopeandjoy posted:So I decided to ally with the king of Scotland and the king of England when my new character got into power because better to the let the big guys not eat me right? I haven’t checked closely in CKIII to see if it matches, but in CK2, you could join wars but not do anything and get 0% participation bonus, and you wouldn’t get a hit to relationship. The only drawbacks were that enemy troops could still siege your counties (very low likelihood), enemy troops were hostile, and you couldn’t do peacetime events until the war was over.

Magil Zeal posted:You can get additional hostile schemes from lifestyle trees. Abduct/Fabricate Hook from Intrigue, and Claim Throne from Learning. Those are the only ways to get non-murder ones I believe. Not counting personal schemes like sway/seduce. Realistically speaking, a ruler will only manage to get involved in two lifestyle trees during their reign, right? Or am I able to get pretty deep into a whole bunch of lifestyle trees with just the one ruler. On the topic of lifestyle trees, I get a bug sometimes where a whole branch is unlocked and I can immediately get the perk.

You have enough time for two full trees + some change if you live until into your 60s (and choose lifestyles that receive an EXP bonus from your education trait). Your heir might choose to invest in perks before you get control of them, but only if they have at least a county-tier title it seems. I tried giving one of my heirs a barony and they never chose a focus, but any of them I give a county chooses a focus that is in line with their education trait. Is it possible this is what you are experiencing? Like, I believe if you play the tutorial you start out with every perk in a martial tree except the last one. Oh dear me posted:A good education gives you that. I didn't know that! It's pretty interesting.

Does anyone have any tips on how to improve your army quality? My army has gradually decreased in quality over time and I imagine there's somewhere I should have been investing money or research to improve the quality over time that I've just been missing but I can't see anything obvious. Most of my holdings have maxed out buildings (I don't have the tech for keeps yet so they're only level 2) and I have 6 regiments of men at arms... I don't really see what else I can do but my army is just stuck at "Decent" quality.

Communist Thoughts posted:any true doom crusader heads know if its a better idea to make all the kingdom titles and stuff in my empire and have just a few very powerful vassals or keep them all as dukes? The basis of making kingdoms for titles is that when you make a single, higher title that you can personally hold then it doesn't matter how badly your realm gets split up upon succession, if you have one title then it goes to your direct heir and the rest of your kids will get dutchies. This will break up what you personally control, but the important part is that as the singular king they will still be your vassals and no land will pass out of your indirect control.

I have done a few times but I feel like I'm really on the edge of my ability to fund them (down to -5 gold per tick when fully raised) Are numbers more important than unit quality, so a higher quantity of cheaper men at arms such as archers or light footmen would be better than more expensive ones?

Ambitious rulers suck at conquering, because they amass a bunch of stress every time they grant titles. I only noticed it after a while, but ~15 stress per holding stacks up pretty quick when you just conquered a duchy and have to start handing out titles due to how absurdly low your domain cap can be, early on.

So, uh. I was like, King of Sweden. Going well. Except my heir got assassinated, and my second heir died on the battlefield, so my remaining heir is a 16 year old idiot. Then I died, and the 16 year old becomes King Dipshit. He manages to stay alive for about a year before he gets into a drunken brawl with his own army men, gets wounded, the wound becomes infected and he loving dies. Now I'm his... sister, I think? And now I'm not only not the king, I'm not the dynasty head either and my children will not be of my dynasty. So, uh, how do I fix this?

I build a lot of military camps to boost them. Eventually I added some token pike units to counter cavalry and some light horsemen to chase, but yeah, I think it's okay to use the cheaper units.

I'm really sad raiding is tied to government instead of culture now. In CK2 my go-to was Norse culture with Jewish religion so I could fuedalize but keep raiding people forever.

If you want to take the long road back, kill or divorce your husband, then matrilinially marry whoever will take you. Pop out a kid of your bloodline, then find ways to disinherit or kill your older children.

SubNat posted:Ambitious rulers suck at conquering, because they amass a bunch of stress every time they grant titles. Yes, a lot of traits seem to have that kind of sneaky downside to them. One of the early streamers (Many a True Nerd perhaps?) had a long session of jubilee over how threat was gone as a heavy damper on your expansion, but it's starting to look like stress in many cases will be a new mechanic to the same end. So many aspects of running an expanding realm seem to rub up against such a variety of traits that most characters will probably end up having one stress limiter or another.

Interesting. Do I want to continue to gently caress around in newbie mode Ireland (I've already conquered Alba, and is working on Wales, so I can kick the scandis out of glorious Britannia), or should I jump on the new kingdom (Galicia) which the pope gave to my brother? It will probably be a lot harder, surrounded by muslims all day long instead of catholic heresies, but oh, so much fun too.

Update on my "missing save" issue from this morning: turns out the ironman save is just forever prefixed with 876_1_1 or whatever. I thought that was from a campaign with the same character I aborted after a month because i forgot to ironman it. But no, that was my actual latest save. I'm just dumb, but also, it's kind of silly and confusing how the game will want to name your ironman saves after the first day of the campaign like a regular save.SubNat posted:Ambitious rulers suck at conquering, because they amass a bunch of stress every time they grant titles. That seems weirdly counter-productive toward the trait's intent. Maybe they should make it so that trait doesn't give you stress when giving land away while over the domain limit.

Was not aware of this but if your war enemy is in a war with someone else, the other opponent is also hostile to you, can attack and be attacked etc.

Pretty sure this is actually true, but any titles you give away while at or under the domain limit will trigger Stress if you're ambitious.

I don't mind ambitious giving stress because A) stress isn't *that* big of a deal and B) it makes it not mandatory for rulers, unlike in CK2 where you had to dump that on your heirs and make everyone else content Just make your ambitious ruler an alcoholic and role play as any person in existence in that time period
