If you want that Scottish rear end in a top hat dead, start a murder plot against him and call the spymaster into the plot using the strong hook you have.

So far the prestige gain from lifestyle seems like the easy winner. Combat bonuses are nice too, but prestige gain is so key and i even had to cut back my men at arms when inheriting. Unless there is some prestige gain trick i am missing.

canepazzo posted:Formed Ireland, had a chance to switch to Tanistry by decision so I did. But it appears the lower titles still follow Partition. Any way of consolidating hereditary rule across all titles? Yeah I formed Ireland, swapped to tanistry, then I died and my heir didn't keep the realm capital...? It went to another dynasty member and I got a different county's castle instead, but I'm king and the realm capital is still the same place it always was. Weird. And I can't declare war to take it back either.

Why does raiding sometimes work and sometimes not? I levy an army, turn them on to raiding, then move them into a neighboring province, but nothing happens. Is the garrison too large?

How the hell can I tell if an upgrade to a castle finished building? I built the walls upgrade the tutorial has you do, and iirc it’s been only about 1.5 years and it sort of looks complete. I’m guessing it’ll say something noting it’s completion on the tooltip when it’s done? Was kind of hoping to check how long it had left. also can you build multiple upgrades at once to a castle? Sort of new here.

euphronius posted:I need to stop worrying and just go with the flow and keep my family alive This is good advice in general for the game. There is no "winning" it, you just set goals for yourself and try to make a strong family and eventually the game ends. Yes you can conquer the known world, but that is very difficult and not really worth worry about for a long time.

Had the same problem, what you have to do is left click on the blank area between the traits and their skills, still inside the highlighted box. Also, if anyone was wondering whether this is an authentic successors to CK2, I had just managed to engineer my genius grand-nephew to having the votes needed to become Tanist and was ready to succeed my old rear end self as High King of Ireland, and of course a few months later he is my sole named death (OR injury for that matter e; I lie, a couple of others got minor wounds it seems, but I wasn't informed) in a combat we won effortlessly.

Ugh gently caress off. The heir I took control of isn't the family head. That's not really an issue in itself. But apparently npcs will happily waste your legacy picks for you. He oh so happily took the lovely '+20% dread gain' pick. gently caress off, that's basically useless. I was intending to pick the '+30% good congenital trait inheritance & +30% chance for new good congenital traits.' one, or maybe work into the 'kin' tree. I dunno, it really doesn't feel good that you can oh-so-easily lose control of the dynasty head, and with it any options for long term dynasty picks. Because it'll probably be a generation until I can afford the next pick, if I'm even the head then. This is componded by this: According to the wiki, if an ai has control over the dynasty head, they'll automatically pick the dynastic branch that has the most progress. But if you don't have any progress yet it just seems to pick one at random(or maybe most fitting for that character.). And because it's picked that, it'll keep picking that in the future. Yeah, it feels kind of lovely to have such a long-term impact/planning thing just be utterly arbitrary the moment heirs/heads desync. Having an heir or character die/get murdered is just something you take in stride, but it feels really lovely to just lose control over such a big feature, especially when it's a dynasty you set up as the head of it at the start of the game. There are 7 goddamn branches and the ai just happily picked the one I care the least about, and will keep doing so until I regain control. Has anyone tried setting up a cadet branch? Supposedly the dynasty head title is supposed to go to whichever house head is the strongest, whenever the old one dies. Does this mean that if I set up a cadet branch I'll be able to regain control when the old one dies, provided my character is stronger? e: it really loving sucks to go like 40-ish years to get a perk, then have the ai just waste it, because your control/heirs don't align with the dynasty ones. e2: I created a cadet branch and then like a week or two later suddenly I'm the head of the dynasty, despite nothing really changing? Why do I suddenly rocket to being dynasty head, but only -after- creating a cadet branch? SubNat fucked around with this message at 23:51 on Sep 2, 2020 |

Question: in CK2, a county with enough prosperity could trigger an event that would allow you to add another barony to it. In CK3 there's both a limit for baronies and building slots, depending on the county. Does development have any effect on this? Has anyone been able to add building slots of baronies to a county? Thought it was cool how in CK2, with effort, you could change the course of history by turning a dead hunk of rock into Venice or Constantinople. I'm trying to do just that with the Faroe Islands and though I've gotten it to a development of 22, I haven't yet seen anything from it beyond the increase to taxes...

So my new Archbishop seduced the Welsh princess I'd married off to my grandson, but I liked him and he liked me and he was really good at fabricating claims so I didn't want to roll the dice on whichever moron the Pope would appoint next, so I let him be - unfortunately, said grandson, while clever enough to realise he was being cucked by a bishop and angry enough to try and kill said bishop in revenge, wasn't good enough not to get caught. Fast forward a decade or two, grandson inherits the kingdom plus an unsalvageably angry Archbishop who then comes to me in an event with "incontrovertible evidence that our marriage is consanguineous" - so my options are to divorce the wife (who is still sleeping with the Archbishop) or owe the Archbishop (who again, hates the gently caress out of new-me) a favour for covering said evidence up. Ya know what, fair play, you're welcome to her. GOTY all years etc.

Ok so I'm an irish. I attack a neighboring irish who was at war with sweden. I won, but that brought in sweden as my enemy. I called all my allies so we outnumbered the Swedes, but my allies sorta wandered around ireland while the swedes sieged down my capital and I lost the war. Is there any way to direct your allies to do anything at all? They just didn't bother fighting and even crossed into Scotland for no reason.

I'm puzzled by the approval numbers. 1) In my liege's council all the councillors except me have approval stats at the bottom of their council portraits. The tooltip for those numbers does not match it at all. (The stats are the same as those given on their character sheets for their opinion of their liege, and the tooltip there does match.) 2) I still can't find a way to see people's opinions of anyone but me or their liege.

I've seen this problem a few times crop up on here, I had a few allies I called in that worked good? Are you calling in allies by clicking the warscore banner and selecting the +allies left of center? Also, they may outnumber the enemy but troop quality, composition, and terrain plays a bigger roll here than CK2, I learned this trying to attack the welsh while they were camping on a mountain with half the number of my troops, but better quality Willfrey fucked around with this message at 00:05 on Sep 3, 2020 |

Do you have the decision to make a cadet branch? I did so and like a week or two later the dynasty head position ceded to me, though I don't entirely understand -why-. I guess just whomever is the strongest house-head at any time becomes dynasty head, so even though they're your vassal you have to set up a cadet branch to be eligible to take over the reigns as dynasty head. It's not at all straightforward, and having to set up a cadet branch to take control of the main one feels very roundabout.

TotalHell posted:I swear to god I enabled Ironman before starting my current game in order to get achievements. Played for a couple hours, didn’t see anything pop up, went and checked after my save and Ironman is off. What the gently caress. Figured this out, and it turns out I am indeed a moron! For anyone else who might experience this: my mistake was selecting Ironman BEFORE I chose “Play any character in 867/1066.” Choosing that resets everything. So if you want to play Ironman as a non-suggested character, pick the “Play as any character” option first, THEN mess with your game settings.

Cool, got a game over because I got holy war'd and even though I was fairly certain I could win, the allied AI fed all their units into the enemy army piecemeal until they ran the score up to 100% before I was able to intervene. Said enemy army was also a coalition of 5+ factions but they didn't have the same problem.

I'm not sure what just happened, exactly, but it rules thematically: I started a game as the Count of Kärnten, under the Duchy of Bavaria, in East Francia. It seems that the Bavarian duke ignited a civil war over the Bavarian Kingdom title, dragging me into his fight against Ludwig. We managed to field an equal army and got lucky on a river crossing, kicking the poo poo out of the East Francians. Then...suddenly, there was border gore, and I was fighting the Bavarians. It seems the Bavarian duke died and while his heir continued the war, somehow his other son - a three year old Pepin - settled on the loyalists, ripping me out of Bavaria's side of the war and suddenly putting me on the losing, defensive footing. My 800ish troops don't stand a chance against the Bavarian army, but they're busy eating Ludwig's land so I just gently caress off back home to Kärnten. I start looking at my new liege. I'm sadistic as poo poo and my Intrigue score is nuts, so I set up a murder scheme (mainly just to experiment with the Scheme system) and a year later Pepin is being taken through the woods in a carriage and gets ripped apart by "wild animals." With no heirs of his own, all of his lands - including his vassals - all go to... his brother, the duke of Bavaria. I return to Bavarian service, having accidentally reintegrated the rest of southern East Francia into Bavaria without a fight and leaving Ludwig in such a weak state that Rurik just invaded the northern shore. To cap it all off, as soon as I returned to the Bavarian duke he appointed me Spymaster. Game rules. Squiggle fucked around with this message at 01:31 on Sep 3, 2020 |

I think the final few months of my first ruler's life contain the purest spite I've ever felt towards an adversary in a video game. So, I've assembled the jarldom (duchy) of the Northern Isles, and since the de jure kingdom of Sweden hasn't been created, I swear fealty to the king of Alba. Lucky me, it turns out I had married off my daughter to his firstborn son years before, so we had a (relatively) secure alliance going. A few months later, the king of Alba dies, and his son (my son-in-law) is the new king. The new king makes me his steward and he even wants to be my pen pal. Sweet! My ruler has a diplomacy focus (despite being a shy drunkard) and eventually I take the perk that lets you plot to claim your king's throne. Taking the "gently caress around, find out" approach to game play, I attempt the plot to see what happens. I even get the queen, my daughter, to help out, using my dynasty hook. While the king eventually finds out about the plot, he doesn't know that I'm involved, although he can probably guess. Regardless, the plot succeeds, and now I have a pressed claim on the Kingdom of Alba. The king hates my guts but can't really do anything about it since we're allies. This is where everything starts to fall apart for me, the poor old jarl. First, my spymaster finds a secret that the king, my son-in-law, husband to my lovely daughter, is having an affair with a courtier. That fucker. Then, two of my four sons (but luckily not my heir) die in a war that I was only in because of my alliance with the king. That fucker. A few months later, my daughter dies under mysterious circumstances, and that sonuvabitch king immediately arranges his betrothal to some 13-year-old. That fucker! Between grieving for my murdered daughter and for my wife of forty years who just died of the bubonic plague, I decide I'm going to kill that bastard no matter what. I'm helped by the fact that his vassals and his court like me more than they like him. I recruit everyone in his court who will even consider joining the plot, going massively into debt in the process. The plot gets about 80% of the way to success, is about four months from finishing... and then I die of the plague too. I spend my last days secluded in a tower, drinking heavily, dying from the bubonic plague, squandering my family's resources to try and get some measure of justice for my dead daughter, and falling just short of the finish line. To the last I grapple with thee; from hell’s heart I stab at thee; for hate’s sake I spit my last breath at thee! ... 10/10, GOTY, etc. Also, remember to review your champions/knights every once in a while!

Here's another new player question as I learn more about this... I'm trying to understand how dynasty interacts with me the player. Assume you have a powerful lord out in the world with an unmarried heir son. I marry my daughter to him and negotiate matrilineal succession (via a hook probably). Then they have a son. Is my grandchild now the heir to this county? What does this even mean for me?

Anyway if you lose house head the only way to get it back is to merge your lines of primary inheritance back together somehow, but it's probably faster and easier to just create your own house.
