So how do you set your kid's education focus in this? It keeps happening that I'll, say, assign one of my children as a ward to a brilliant strategist and when they come of age they'll somehow have a 1 star learning or intrigue education trait instead.

There's a reset button - two arrows - on the Current Situation window that pops up when you click the Issues button. That'll bring it back if you actually dismissed it instead of clicking the done button on it.

Just to try to get some sort of better sense of the men-at-arms, I decided to sort them by the crappy metric of (power + toughness) * size / cost just to get some idea of where we're at. I wouldn't read much into the exact ranking this produced or the ratio in the last column since it's a very lovely and approximate metric but it should have some correlation to reality. The gist seems to be that is cheap troops are more cost-efficient and cultural troops are usually good. The reduced size heavy cav troops and even more reduced war elephants have good total regiment power, but don't seem like they're cost efficient if you need to save money/prestige. Elephants especially. Might be some nonlinear effect were 2x toughness makes each individual fight for more than 2x longer and much more likely to survive fights, I dunno. tl;dr: cultural regiments are good, try to mind likely terrain and opponent regiments, probably favor quantity over quality when poor.

Children get childhood traits that give +1 to two different skills. When they're 6, you can assign them an education and you should choose one that benefits from the trait (it will tell you if it helps or harms them). For example, if you have a Curious son, he will do good in either diplomacy or learning, so give him one of those educations, and assign him a good diplomat or priest as a guardian. edit: the education focus will be on their character screen to the left of their opinion of you

Mr Luxury Yacht posted:The malus for a powerful vassal not having a seat on the council is real frustrating. -40 is brutal. it is annoying, but also it gives you a reason to actually have powerful vassals who have lots of holdings rather than giving your titles to twenty pushover dolts in hopes you or your heir can gobble them up if needbe I often find myself befriending/swaying those unhappy vassals, usually the dullards are easy to sway

Wow, I went straight for camels (light cav variant) and they shredded levies in the pursuit phase. As in, twice as many casualties inflicted as during the actual battle. Which turned out to be crucial when they came back with bigger allies for another round. So if you're having trouble killing armies, go get yourself some pursuit cav.

So apparently one of my earls has a claim on the entire drat Kingdom of England. I am currently the King of Scotland and Wales. I want to make absolutely sure I am reading this right. If I win this war, the Earl Ealdhun will become a King, but STILL be my vassal despite the fact that I am only King rank myself?? The war should be a quick slaughter, but I really don't want to waste the time if I'm just going to be giving taking the country away from my cousin to give it to an unrelated vassal who would proceed to immediately become independent. Pretty sure I'd be on the cusp of becoming Emperor of Britannia after this fight.

People keep saying the UI is better, but I seriously have no idea what is supposed to be better about it. It's basically a sidegrade from CK2, and a downgrade in a lot of cases.

I ended up playing as my child Heir and one of the events is to adopt a pet cat and when he grew up and married a princess the first thing that happened was that she had cat allergies. Of course I said deal with it, sucker Really funny to me that one of the cat events is that they run up to you with a scroll in their mouth and it's a Secret that gives you a hook.

How do you view a 3rd party's opinion of another 3rd party? It's not where it is in CK2 and I've spent about 10 minutes looking for it. Also, it's mildly annoying that they removed the ability to save filter configurations in the character finder. But despite this and the above confusion I do think the UI is pretty strong so far.

I think the thing is that none of these are problems once you know where to find them, but the tutorial completely neglects to mention them so you are just left in the dark hunting around the UI, not even sure if the thing you want to do is even possible.

hopeandjoy posted:Is it not worth it at all to create another kingdom title until you have primogeniture, or does having high partition keep all Kingdom titles with your heir? For titles, if your powerful vassals like you you can "add laws" to it and have them pass separately. I used this to keep multiple kingships until I could form the empire level title.

I have no loving clue how the army levy system works in this game. It seems either bugged or extremely opaque. My total levy count is fluctuating from month to month with no changes to my realm, and with me controlling every county in my realm (I'm a 5-county duchy in charge of everything). My total army size was at 1800. I declared war on my neighbor only to realize that it's now at 1500. I let another month tick and now it's at 1400. My court priest's opinion of me hasn't changed, nor has the number of troops he's contributing. I have no idea what's going on, but this has ensured that the war I just declared is now unwinnable, so that's fun. gently caress.

Also if you're having trouble with factions, focus on diplomacy and take the pip that lets you befriend people. It is incredibly powerful.

I asked this earlier in the thread but didn't get an answer, and I don't think I explained it very well so I have a screenshot now to help a bit. I want to revoke the duchy of Essex here, but just the duchy title. It seems like the UI believes that I want to take both the duchy and every title underneath it, and won't let me select it at all because it would leave her unlanded (even though it's the opposite of this; she would be keeping Buckinghamshire and I am taking the title with no land). You could take higher tier titles without the counties under them in CK2 so I'm not sure if this is a weird UI thing or if they've changed how it works and you just can't do that anymore in CK3.

I tried but never got the hang of CK2, but this time around is going way better and I'm really enjoying things. Newbie question: What's the guiding wisdom when finding spouses for your daughters? I thought I'd try to find lesser houses that I could strongarm into a matrilineal wedding so I could grow my dynasty, but those are tough to arrange so I haven't had a lot of success with it. I married my oldest daughter to a prince of a slightly larger kingdom just far enough away that we should have a prosperous alliance. They got hitched and after some years she's now the queen of a stronger nation and popping out potential claimants to my land (I think... I haven't fully figured out the rules and caveats of claims and inheritance). So I'm not sure if I just made more problems for myself. I guess just in general, what sort of goals or considerations do you take in for marrying daughters when you're in a typical male-preference realm?
