Corbeau posted:Partition succession owns, the stress mechanics own. Playing different rulers feels so much more distinct compared to CK2. lol even though the Empire of Kanem-Bornu is bigger than ever the paper map is a complete farce. I was able to reform the religion before my ruler died, but I did not think it through that it meant that only part of the empire would convert while huge chunks of it would stay with the old, now hostile faith. My heir was a real piece of poo poo, he was also a Shy Grey Eminence but throw the "wrong religion" penalties everywhere, also he was Paranoid and Greedy on top of it. When the succession happened he was already at war with a rebellious count and his son died in a siege on day one, which was a great start. Also I checked the decision page and one of the new ones was "Attempt Suicide." The first thing on the checklist was selecting a Court Physician, I picked the most expensive option and then I also made her my concubine. Then uh apparently my other children were also super ill for some reason and when I did the safe treatment the first one got mutilated, and when I didn't punish the physician for that the next one died  All the recent conquests were angry as hell and quickly steamrolled towards an independence war, luckily what could have been 2/3 of the empire fighting against me became 1/3 of the empire because my spouse was able to get a Blackmail secret on one of the warleaders and force them out. I won the war easily enough and revoked titles... which I couldn't give away to the other half of my Angry Vassals because Greedy would cause severe mental breaks lol. Meanwhile because of all the dead kids my heir was now a Lazy Paranoid Wrathful 13-year-old granddaughter. I was thinking, OK this will be a caretaker reign, just slowly build up the diplomacy to get everyone squared away, then maybe I can focus on learning to get the innovation requirement for feudalism out of the way. Unfortunately I took Ill... and then whoops I never fired that court physician. She leveled up after the other kid died so maybe the safe treatment will actually be fine -- I am now playing as a Lazy Paranoid Wrathful 13-year-old

My latest ruler caught smallpox early on, but the "medicine" he was given made him into an insane cannibal. He loved going on crusades to pick up lots of Muslim children to eat, even if they did make him sick fairly frequently. Towards the end of his life, however, the loss of his son sent him over the edge, and he added visits to brothels to his vices. He ended his life with a bang: he decided to share his passion of human flesh with the guests, and made a stew out of his own arm. The injuries from serving himself for dinner were ultimately what claimed his life. GOTY.

So far I've had one king get cancer late in his reign and, in attempting to get cured, lost an eye and was made a eunuch. Had a son who was beneficiary of the first successful crusade, so Jerusalem had a bisexual atheist king. At last check, over 150 years later Jerusalem is still controlled by members of my dynasty, so good job, son. Had a king kick the bucket fairly early and his one month old son became the new king. Boy lasted until age 5, when one of his vassals - also a child - became his bully, beat him up, and boy king ended up dying after the wounds got infected. And my current queen (sister of boy king) spends all her time in taverns and brothels and is probably the greatest ruler the kingdom has had so far and everyone loves her. I love this game.

"Council Rights Guaranteed", oh how I hate it. I assume this exists because someone at some point used a hook to change a feudal contract to include the guarantee? Some loving 7-steward relative shoved her way onto the council displacing the 25-point one I have. And now I'm stuck with her until I murder her because even after incurring 20 tyranny by forcibly updating the contract, the 25-year council seat lock on her is still in place. I wish the game pointed those out to me, because the moment your realm is a decent size it's almost guaranteed that you have better vassals and courtiers hanging about than the lovely slobs forcing themselves onto the contract because their dad blackmailed my dad half a generation ago.

Even with all of these terrible traits (and some of them helping) this teenager has a high enough intrigue, maybe i guess this is the reign where I practice stabbing? The problem I suppose is that I am not sure how to translate stabbing into stability, internal domestic tranquility is probably what I need right now. I guess blackmail really helped me out in the last independence war, maybe that's the way

I don't mind diplomatic range, but it is a bit silly when you are unable to interact with your head of faith (As an Ash'ari ruler around Tunis). I was going to create a new faith just to get my own head of faith...except all the holy sites are in Arabia and I'm planning more of a North Africa focus so I would never get one and it'd be entirely pointless. Oh well, the holy site bonuses for Ash'ari do kind of rule. Incidentally, Prince Ibrahim Ibn Ahmad (Emirite of Kairouan below Tunis) is a pretty good start. He's kind of ridiculously stacked (I thought they randomized some stuff but he seems to have the same traits/stats whenever I start a game as him), plus he can become a king quickly by killing his brother. Was interesting going from a sadistic torturer with an intrigue focus to a forgiving theologian.

so this old trick still works from ck2, if you're having trouble with war being a goose chase the arrow indicating movement is colored by state gold if you have not yet moved halfway to your destination, which means you can still cancel the move order gray if you have moved halfway, meaning you are now locked and cannot cancel the order red if you're moving into something hostile so if you keep chasing down enemies, and you're adjacent to them but both of you are moving (say you are moving into their barony but they are moving to a third, empty barony) wait until their arrow turns gray then move onto the barony they are moving to. in this way, you'll catch them another trick, not sure if the ck3 AI is smarter than this: split your army so that part of it is smaller than theirs. station this small army someplace easy to defend, as bait. keep the rest of your army in the next barony over. when enemies move onto your bait force and their arrow turns gray, move in with the rest of the force. in this way your bait guys get beat up on a defensive tile (mountains, or a river crossing) but it won't be long before way more dudes come riding over the horizon to back them up Gamerofthegame posted:Can you change the holding type of a county at all? The Sardina goldmine is one a church... probably not. this was impossible in ck2 and if it is possible in ck3 then i imagine it is very difficult and rare very good Mr. Fall Down Terror fucked around with this message at 04:05 on Sep 5, 2020 |

Baron Porkface posted:I don't understand how training grounds increased the damage stat of units in my realm. Do they stack? Ye, all of the various realm damage bonus things stack. So you can end up with pretty terrifying archers for example if you end up with hide tents in every region. You can mouse over the men-at-arms stats to see their base and bonus damage etc over in the military menu. It's a nice way for them to slowly scale up in strength, or for you to specialize.

I'm a bit confused about something. I started a new game as the Emir in the Rags to Riches 1066 list (on the Iberian pennisula) and I start with allied to one of my vassals. Is that supposed to be possible? Is there something gained by being an ally and a vassal that isn't there by just being a vassal?

If I understand correctly, vassals that are not your allies will let you raise the percentage of levies they owe you but they will not join a war and fight with their own troops, you have to explicitly be allies for that

Thanks to the Emperor of France going Irish Christian, my bespoke faith that I started as a lovely Irish chieftain is now the second-largest branch of Christianity in the world, after Orthodoxy. The Pope has now mounted two successful crusades for Britain over this, and both times it has lasted exactly as long as it takes for the person they install to die, because the successor has gone "Actually, Irish Christianity rules, I'm converting"  I take back my complaint on Discord about the Pope targeting us before the Muslims who held Rome, clearly we were actually the greater threat and he somehow foresaw that when nobody else did.
