How can I scroll in the Dynasty tree? There is a Pan to head option, and obviously closing some branches helps you see more, but I still can't find a way to view some of my distant cousins.

TorakFade posted:Can't really comment on innovation/culture stuff because I haven't played long enough yet, but that also seems to move at a very slow pace, especially when you're in a backwater like Ireland with low development. I mean, if discovering a focused innovation takes 40 years, it means I could only choose 10 in the whole game ... when there's like 15 in each of the 4 eras + any cultural/special ones for a total of 60+! I guess you're not supposed to have them all at end game, but I'd think you could snag about half of them at least. Maybe that's easier and they come faster in less lovely places like Italy or the HRE? Oh dear me posted:You can speed it up a lot with the Learning focus. This is true, but you also get innovations from past ages a lot faster. Dark age innovations can be acquired in like 5 - 10 years once you unlock the early middle ages, for instance. Also, you'll definitely be gaining more development over time. And as Ireland you won't be staying on that island forever anyway, unless you're playing the world's most boring CK campaign. As for the lifestyle stuff brought up, I get about 3 or so trees completed without exploiting anything with characters who don't live especially long (dead in their 60s), and this feels about right to me. Picking a specific path to focus on to the exclusion of others is kind of the point. And there's some very powerful stuff in there if you know where to look.

I never figured out how to play CKII and I can't figure out how to play this one. The devs linked to some "instructional" videos from a community-darling CK streamer that everyone immediately gushed over or course, but the videos go at a billion miles an hour, seem super surface-level and are clearly made for fanboys of said streamer who already know how to play.

Holding all of Ireland as your personal domain is a bit much as you'll probably go way over your domain limit. Really having a couple of duchies and most of the land within them will usually be the extent of your personal holdings. As for reclaiming land lost after death, you should have claims over a lot of it and you can always fabricate claims if you want, which allows you to revoke your vassal's territory without tyranny (though you'll probably have to beat them in a war or else have them imprisoned first). If they rebel and you beat them, you also get a free revoke. Make sure you've put your crown authority up to Limited or you don't get a revoke option.

Strategy question: I remember from CK2 that the best strategy was to set yourself up with as many holdings in your capital duchy (and ideally your capital county) as possible. Is that still the way to go, or are you better off having one holding each in a bunch of duchies to get as many duchy buildings as possible?

Wait, what?  We can play basically any culture or government type, as long as it's not a Theocracy or a Merchant Republic? (And for Nomads you play Tribal instead) Sorry for being a thousand years late on this, but I wasn't following the preview material closely, and I had just assumed we were going to be able to play Catholic Feudalism and Muslim.

The highlight of my first play was one of my vassal mayors – a 60-years old blind woman known not only for sleeping around, but also spending a lot of time in brothels. And she wasn't even Lustful! Battles are now lethal like they never were. In CK2 sometimes you could have someone killed or maimed (unless they joined a warrior lodge and became effectively immortal). In CK3 one battle is enough to have several of your Knights killed or maimed.

I'm really not a fan of having rebellious populations use the faction system. I bit off too much land in a Spanish reconquista and because there's so many provinces with the same wrong culture/faith they all join the same faction. Every time the rebellion cool down ends they look at how strong their "faction" is and rebel again. I've had clockwork rebellions every 1-2 years for a century and it's hell. The only way out of the cycle is to convert everything, a process that will take centuries. I feel like after they've been crushed 50 times they ought to consider themselves repressed because this campaign just isn't fun anymore. I could also give up on the land but it's frustrating that I *can* keep it because I can beat the rebels every year, but doing so isn't remotely fun or interesting.

I assume there's going to be a lot of religious wars/cold wars? What can I expect? Yeah, currently covered in African politics over here in my current game. It is... brutal. It may be a coincidence, but the rulers appear very different to each other, most hate each other and they are VERY aggressive. I had three wars in the past five years to defend against and I'm still just a high chief. The religions are more or less intolerant to each other at start, but you also have a lot of room to grow and change this. Since reformation is very difficult here, expect to stay tribal for a long time. Religious wars are the most common ones, the guys here (including myself) don't care about laws or rules of engagement or de jure titles, we just bite each other out of principle. Resources are generally rare, there are a thousand different independent counties and duchies, all with a few hundred terribly trained troops at best and we just throw them at each other and hope to win. I absolutely love it, way better than the usual Irish catholic start and just as wild as you would early medieval west African politics to be. Edit: 7 wars now. I forgot to mention that your neighbors jump onto you all at the same time and if one declares war, others do so, too, even though they also have an ongoing war with each other.

Hey so here's a challenge for you. 867 start, pick Chieftain Jaromil in what is IRL northern Poland. He's independent but only count-level. Try not to game over in, like, under 10 years. I gave it a couple of shots but it's impossible, he's everyone's whipping boy but at the same time the conditions aren't right to swear fealty to anyone either.

Yeah it's great all the religions can intermarry and there's like thirty African religions now and they all hate eachother. So my big empire got big enough that it partitioned into 3 empires and one of them is the wrong flavour of African pagan so I'm gonna start the great African war since until now I've been the biggest sister in the thunderbowl for 100 years. Though I'm not sure if it's a seed thing or what but playing in Italy I was drowning in genius characters to marry, playing in Africa I've seen a single genius in a century and barely any intelligents. That gets a HMMM from me. Before partition I could raise 45 thousand troops though and I can still do 30k after.

Party In My Diapee posted:Does anyone know in detail how the exclave independence settings work? I put mine at limited naval, but i am not sure if that got rid of the ai taking over counties a big ocean distance away. What would change with putting to significant for example? In general both the AI and you are always able to acquire exclaves anywhere. What this changes is whether or not you get to keep it. On succession you (or the AI) cannot inherit a title you have on an exclave, depending on the setting. Off allows it to be inherited freely, naval means titles that de jure belong to a title you own are fine as well as exclaves that have a direct naval connection to a county of yours (although I'm not entirely sure what "direct" means in this context, I assume there's a range limit), significant means that there is no inheritance of exclaves at all period, so on succession the title will be lost. You can adjust it whether it's supposed to affect just the AI or everyone. All settings are achievement compatible though. Afaik if you or an AI loses a title due to this effect, it either goes to the next higher ranking de jure character, or it selects or generates a random character in that county and lands it.

He actually had pretty decent intrigue so after that I made him my somewhat-ineffective spymaster.

I assume there's going to be a lot of religious wars/cold wars? What can I expect? I'm playing the Daura start, which is one of the pre-selected ones for 867 so it gets some extra events. Notably, you can switch to female-preference inheritance early on if you want. Some things: - There are a lot of independent duke and count-level realms, and like 4 different religions crammed into a tiny area. Everyone can freely raid everyone else. Everyone can declare conquest on everyone else for a mere 50 piety. There's a reason it's called African Thunderdome in thread. - Since you're guaranteed to be Confederate Partition for most the game you will need to claw your way to a kingdom title to not fragment into independent dukedoms on ruler death, and then to an empire title to not fragment into independent kingdoms. Expect to have a couple of heirsplosions on the way when you didn't get your target title in time. Accept that your realm will be limited in size and you will not be ale to make a single blob controlling the entire continent until much later. - As tribal you pay for your men at arms with prestige, your levies with money and you will be short on both. Raiding conveniently gets you both money and prestige. - Defensive allies are absolutely necessary. Betroth your kids to suitable neighbors ASAP. Remember you need prestige to call in allies in offensive wars, but not defensive ones. - On Seek Aid of the Spirits: the spirits are jerks, fyi.

Have they fixed the thing from CK2 where somehow groups A and B attack C, but under different casus belli, and split the targets? Neither A nor B can get high enough to win their respective war. The only way to win as a player A with a computer in B is to attack B too.

So I decided to start as William the Bastard, and I'm starting to notice some annoying things with the war AI. I was able to beat Godwinson with my Danish and French allies in 3 years, sure, but when I took over England and had to face Hardrada, it took another 6 years or something of counter-sieging and ping-ponging his armies up and down Britain. I just couldn't kill enough of his guys each time we met, so he'd run away, get his morale back up, then come roaring back to siege some poo poo while I was unsieging some town. That began to feel tedious, near the end. Was I just being inefficient? I hadn't spent money on mercs or MaAs yet, because I didn't know how things were going to go. It also seems like the real move for William is just wait until the Harolds fight each other a few times, then come in to hit the winner. Hmmm, where have I heard that one before.

I'm not sure I fully understand the whole County / Barony thing. I played to many tribals starting out, and they usually have just one barony in each county. Then I started out as Count of Aachen, and didn't get why I had a Mayor as a powerful Vassal asking to be on my council. If you own a county with serveral baronies inside, you still only get the full tax/levy from the county capital, and the other baronies are vassals ? Doesn't that mean a lot of tiny, useless vassals and their contracts to manage if you have a fully developed demesne ? If you want to develop and build up, is it then better to focus only the main barony in several counties ?

Is there a way to revoke a duchy from someone without revoking all their other titles? Like in CK2 you could JUST revoke the duchy and assign it to someone else, but when I hover over a duchy title in the revoke screen it says that revoking it would leave them with no landed titles, which seems backwards (they only have one county and it'll let me revoke THAT, but they just take another one from one of their vassals).
