If you're a double king or emperor you're still hosed but you can avoid making a title from then on out. It requires the cultural innovation Hereditary Rule iirc. Ahhh that's what confederate partition* does then. Thanks

also if your realm splits in half you can still pulverize not-you losers because members of your dynasty will almost always join your wars

Yeah before you get to emperor having a few kings of your dynasty can be good for juicing up renown, it's like 3~ renown for being an Emperor and 1 per king so it works to the same.

GreyjoyBastard posted:also if your realm splits in half you can still pulverize not-you losers because members of your dynasty will almost always join your wars the running into a mace headfirst and getting not-you siblings dragged into wars has changed everything. I made the mistake of having a poo poo-for-brains son at the start of the game that I wasn't able to interfere with much, he's now become the defacto leader. I think I'm going to have to declare immediate war on someone I wanted to keep as a happy vassal (his stats were good and he's at 100 opinion, plus he has a friendly old man face) and have this heir run headlong into their army with 100 levies at his back. At least I know that in the future, if I have annoying siblings with titles I want, I can just get them sucked into a war and obliterated that way.

TheOneAndOnlyT posted:Some dumb questions: For 1, I don't think so? You can pin your son as a a character of interest but I'm not sure if that's just a quick way to click them. For 2, it's just a rough estimate of an army's unit quality proportionally to its size with levies at the bottom, knights (or equivalents) at the top and men-at-arms somewhere in the middle depending on their exact type and strength (like Armored Footmen are higher quality troops than Light Footmen). Adding enough knights is how you get armies considered top-quality, generally. Can't recall purple borders off-hand.

GreyjoyBastard posted:gotta say I'm real pleased that one of the most popular starts of CK3 is a matriarchal African pagan Agreed with all of this but with one more note - you can arrange it that your daughter becomes heir of both kingdoms at start. Once that’s done, you just spend forever developing your two provinces so that when they inherit it all (for me it was until my leader was late sixties) they get a really wealthy base. Also remember that your men at arms are fueled directly by prestige - it’s a lot of men if you make em big!

What the hell, I as Leon am allied with Castille in a war against Galicia. I saw a Castille army defend Leon from one of their armies while I was sieging A Corunna, but when my army got near a Castille army in Galician territory they fought and I lost like half of my army. Is this a bug? edit: Ah another goon in discord told me it's because I didn't call them into battle, and since they are also independently at war with Castille we'll fight MelancholyMark fucked around with this message at 09:37 on Sep 3, 2020 |

Yep, you could, but a better method since holy fury was just getting in good with the pope and requesting claims. I've only been able to do that once so far in CK3, and it was after befriending the pope.

Started as Munster, reunited Ireland. Went all mad king in my 60s power grabbing as much as possible for my heir. Welp son died in his prime (murdered IDK?) and kid grandson takes over when I kicked the bucket. Vassals start getting really troublesome so I'm buying them off with nice things wondering if I can maintain my rule when Pope comes to the rescue with a crusade which we win. Now everyone likes me thanks to massive piety and prestige boost. Also I have a pet kitty and doggy AT THE SAME TIME  Still only 12. Hoping for a really long rule and maybe setting the foundations of a Celtic empire. Loving this game! CK2 wasn't half as good at explaining mechanics (who inherits what? who gets what stuff after a war? gently caress if I know). So I felt lost in fiddly detail rather than enjoying the bigger picture.

This game causes such massive conflicts between my autistic desire for "make number go up" and my human aversion to being mean to people. My 70 year old marshall vassal has been serving me well for decades, but there's this new kid in town with way better stats... I really wish there was a "throw retirement party" option so I can send him home gracefully to enjoy his retirement. I can't bring myself to fire him. I also haven't done a single murder scheme yet lol A couple of things I wish there were ticker popups for: * When a vassal starts an internal war * When a vassal dies Is there any way to control / influence who your bishop is? Or does it just spawn a random character when the old one dies? It feels weird that you still have mayor-level vassals even when you're at king and emperor level. It makes sense in terms of the title hierarchy but feels beneath an emperor to be dealing with a mayor. I guess they become mostly irrelevant at that point.

Not free if you get found out! I was doing that with my old king and welp vassals found out. -50 opinion for all vassals is rough! Wasn't so bad for the old king because everyone feared him but he died not long after and as everyone hated him you get a big -ve opinion to his heir. Luckily it decays fast but it was rough for a while.

JosefStalinator posted:Man, they fixed the little trick in gavelkind where you just don't create another kingdom title to avoid losing them. I am in a nice situation where i as king of Norway invaded Sweden, but the old king remained titular king with some territory outside the kingdom. I assume his title will be eventually destroyed since he doesn't own any de jure land, but until then i only have one kingdom title so it can't be split between my sons.

Wait, does doing elective get overriden by confederate partition? For some reason my second son is inheriting my primary title, and the first son getting my secondary title and religious head. The gently caress? EDIT: No it's going to a random nephew for some reason

So is the strategy just to build up one giga-province that you always keep and then have as many 1 province vassals as possible until Primogeniture rolls around? Even setting all your duchies and higher titles to Tanistry or whatever doesn't affect the counties which get strewn about.

The point is you don't just expand indefenetely. There's also a confederate partition or something. If you have land of 3 de jure duchies/kingdoms but don't actually create those titles your 3 sons will become 3 independent dukes/kings.

I'm starting to think that going full on Lifestyle trees is a trap. There are many one point wonders in every tree, and you can easily get 2 in a 5-6 year period even without education traits: - Dip into Strategist and grab -50% CB cost and +15% speed. - Overseer has +15 dread and some extra control as first perk, which is nice and has synergies with other things. - For example, the Stewardship - Avaricious tree that can get you -50% cost of Men at Arms with high Dread for 3 perks. Golden obligations is a nice source of money if you're a Schemer. - For a single point in Administrator you get the Claim Throne Casus Belli, which can be useful sometimes. - The Schemer tree is all around great, but even the first one, Truth is Relative, is very useful. - Like weeds in a Garden is a +30% fertility, for a single Intrigue point. - 2 points in Torturer makes the Torture action "free" and a very easy way to get 100 Dread. 6 and you get +15-30% income from most of your vassals. - Learning trees seem more tail-heavy, Learn on the Job is a big stat increase but requires 7 points, and the other trees are pretty situational.

game rules, but has anyone figured out a way in modding to stop the Christians from annexing all of Iberia by the mid 1100s, and to stop the HRE from exploding into independence 5 years into every game? a border gore mod would be fantastic, like CK2+ used to be. having Holy Wars only being able to be declared on bordering nations for instance, and less weight on the AI to do this if they're French would be ideal here. i get France going down into Iberia and annexing incredibly ugly snakes throughout it most games. funnily this was an issue in CK2 on release as well

The HRE exploded 5 years into my game, and 80 years in West Francia is united, Lotharingia is two duchies, and Bavarian Karlings have taken over East Francia. Italy is border gore. Seems fine to me.

gently caress vassals, I have been scratching my head figuring out how to destroy their claims so I can have most of it to myself. When I was playing as the father, I was at 10.9g/m, but then succession happened and now all the Earldoms that were mine have been passed onto vassals that give me tiny slivers of what I could be getting. I'm currently earning a pittance, around 3g/m. My ultimate goal was to have all of Ireland to myself, and then start conquering other lands that I can hand over to vassals / family members, and maybe even get a few of my brothers to be Kings for the family dynasty boost. It's like a rat's nest of confusion. Murdering doesn't solve anything, as it just passes to their heirs. Marrying matrilineally to their heirs isn't possible, as they refuse to accept. Murdering their entire family line is the only possibility, but doing each Earldom would take centuries. There must be a more efficient way to do this that I'm just not seeing, right? Or is it all about setting traps that'll only get sprung 70 years down the line? Qubee fucked around with this message at 11:03 on Sep 3, 2020 |
