Do your guardian's stats have literally anything to do with the events or choices you get for your kid? I am A Brave, Diligent, Gregarious king. My kid just got a popup event that gives the options to make him Lazy, Arbitrary, or Craven. Beyond the fact it is stupid that the only options are poo poo traits, why wouldn't my kid grow up based on my own traits?

A lot of stuff in this game feels like hitting your dick with a hammer, even more so that CK2. Haha bad thing happen, too bad the RNG you get decides to gently caress you regardless of what you do.

What's the best way to compare counties in terms of what to keep and what to give away? I don't really see any useful correlation between the development, levy and tax statistics.

The best metric is counties with more baronies are better (even if they aren't filled, they have a higher ceiling on their potential than smaller counties), and counties in your home duchy are better (you can only hold two duchies without penalty, and vassal dukes get pissy if you personally control counties in their duchies, so it's better to consolidate all your holdings in duchies you personally control), and a extra attention should be given to counties with unique features. Often the value of a county is less what it does right now and more what it can be grown to do. Give away the crap that has no future.

I mean sure, but it's not like that is what goes on in the event. The text literally is your character trying to endorse being a coward while one of his 3 defining personality traits is Bravery. It's not as if it's the kid rebelling against me or a failing of my king.If this game is about roleplay, it's the DM telling your Lawful Good Paladin to describe how he kills the innocent peasants or something.

Edit: Just again I get another set of 3 bad outcomes that seemingly have no connection to my character. I can't even make a strategic decision to do something to steer my kid away from being a fuckup.

I feel like you just gotta roll with the punches and let the story develop.

Right now after losing the Empress title in the war, and then losing another war where the usurper demanded I convert (thanks old man I was trying to do that anyway), I am now biding my time in a Hamlet/Batman scenario where I'm waiting for the timer on the murder plot cooldown to expire (because it terminated the previous plot when i lost the Empress title but I guess it still counts towards attempts?) while gaining perks to boost the poo poo out of that while also compromising everyone in his court.

I actually don't know what the plan is after I murder him but that's for future me to deal with

That wouldn't be an issue, but if this is supposedly a strategy game, there's no real strategic input for me when I get these events. It's not like I can mitigate these in the short term by spending resources to steer my kid in the same way. Seemingly no strategy goes into choosing who educates your kid, since it seems totally RNG based. I can't mitigate getting a lovely trait in the long term by investing in my character, because these 3 traits are set for life no matter what lifestyle or circumstances change.

If this game isn't a strategy game, and is a roleplaying game, it falls kind of flat when the 3 buttons to pick only let my character act wildly out of character for the sake of loving the player. It's also not as if these traits lead to interesting roleplay either. You do the same poo poo regardless of the traits, but now you're bad at XYZ.

It feels like it is just a dick in the dick because the game is about punishing yourself?

Well I murdered the usurper.

Now I don't know what to do, it doesn't actually put me closer to the throne, I suppose I helped shatter the realm further because of partitioning but no one likes me and would support my claim. And while I was scheming it looks like the emperor managed to push up against both the Byzantines and Egypt, which look large and hostile, with a potentially weak emperor who knows what will happen?

I was in the midst of a war with a nearby county and I notice one of my vassals being chased around by my other vassal until he was killed. Then the vassal who was attacking seiged the other vassals county and took it over for himself. After it ended both county's are still under my control but under the one winning vassal.

Yes, vassals can war with each other so long as they're both under the same liege. Having high crown authority means they can't do that anymore. As their ruler you probably want to keep a general eye on it because if a vassal gets too big they may decide that they would make a better king. If you see a war happening and really don't wan't the aggressor to win, you can demand that they end the war and if they agree it ends in a white peace (you can also demand that the defender surrenders if you do want the aggressor to win).

HAIL TO THE VICTORS!
My spy master came to me with terrible news. My wife was cheating on me with my cousin (my most powerful vassal). Even worse my son might be his!

I am devistated. I arrest my cousin but my wife flees the country. The Pope grants me a divorce.

Despite all his research (at 25 intrigue no less) my spy master cannot say anything for certain about my son. My sweet baby boy who I've raised to be my perfect heir. He has my face and hair... but his eyes. What do I do? And what of my daughter? Is she a product of this crime too? She is so innocent...

I have married again. A beautiful young maiden. We are in love: My new wife and I are soul mates. I have a second daughter and second son who I have no doubt are mine.

My oldest boy is almost of age. He knows not the reason his mother left or why his "uncle" is in my jails. But the family gossips and there may be a time he finds out. Worse yet: my cousin could have the last laugh as his son takes my throne.

What do I do? I could disenherit him... send him away...

but I raised him...

he is my son...

Yes. There is no question. He is my sweet baby boy. That is my judgment as King.




The save file reveals the truth: he is not my son, but my daughter is mine.

Yeah my kingdom looks completely pockmarked as my vassals are all sniping at each other and I saw that I couldn't intervene militarily except against peasants.

Meanwhile the emperor is fighting both a claimant war from the eastern side of the empire and a subjugation war from the Ghanaian empire to my west. I have an independence faction brewing ready to pull the trigger when it can do the most damage, as it really does look like my best bet is to blow everything and basically start over with my one (well, I formed Yorubaland so two now) kingdom(s)

Also the intrigue events are a lot more fun. There's one that's basically going through medieval Twitter. And then I got "To Put on an Act" which gave me a personality test that I totally bombed lol, I have no idea what the right answers would be

Finding out that reformed pagans cannot raid regardless of doctrine or tenets, however, is not fun.

Edit: Anyone know if the Character.CanRaid constraints are defined somewhere in moddable game files? I didn't find anything in any remotely obvious places. I guess the other option would be maybe altering the .gui files to make the raid-related buttons visible regardless but that's a super janky hack even supposing it might work, which I doubt.

It does feel kind of weird that there is no real fatigue mechanic for fighting offensive wars over and over. Your men replenish incredibly fast and infinitely and your own lands don't really suffer much either. Honestly might help to bring back regencies? Your home lands should be noticably worse off/fragile when you drag literally the entire court off to fight a war halfway across the world. Or even something like giving negative opinion modifiers to families when a character dies while fighting for you.

It's a man's game, but boys will play

I'm still just playing the Irish campaign following the tutorial but man when you get to the point where you're managing the balance of power among your vassals and creating duchies this game owns. My third ruler came to the throne from Wales, holding just a single county there before he inherited two duchies in Ireland as a young man. Everyone hated him and his duke uncle was a total rival. Forty years later he's fully Irish, he's united the whole island and most of Wales under his rule (much of it peacefully), everyone likes him, and he's best friends with his uncle. :3:

I discovered that the best way for me to really get in the head of my character and discern which things need my close attention is to keep a running chronicle of his rule in a notepad document that I update as I go. I put anything really notable my king does in there, and it helps me see how the little decisions I make moment to moment lead to big reign-defining events. It also keeps me from dwelling too much on little decisions that are mostly insignificant in the end. With CKII I always felt a huge disconnect between the incredibly detailed history simulation and the moment to moment gameplay that felt totally impersonal and minmax-y. Writing a chronicle as an "output" for my campaign helps bridge that really well

So being Asatru has its benefits - notably, you practice human sacrifice so not only does executing prisoners give you Piety, you lose big chunks of stress doing it. So here I am, working on gathering the thousands of piety necessary to reform the faith by raiding and chucking heathens into the meat grinder, and my king dies. Bit of a setback, but oh well. New heir has got Compassionate trait. Executions are now a 35 Stress penalty. What's more, I somehow managed to screw up succession so while I hold the title for the Scandinavian Empire, the constituent kingdoms all went to my uncle for some reason? I'm not even close to the succession either, and it's elective now so I don't even have any say. At least they're still in my dynasty, so it's not too bad.

Partition succession owns, the stress mechanics own. Playing different rulers feels so much more distinct compared to CK2.

I agree. But I'd like to understand the partition mechanics better - how many counties does it think are worth one fancy title? My first ruler left one county and one effectively useless duchy title each to sons 1 and 2, then three counties to lucky son 3. Son 1's single county was the capital, of course, but it was too early in the game for that to have been developed much, so he ended up with less than half the army Son 3 had. How many counties would my ruler have had to have before Son 1 got another?

I have doubts about the historical realism of this mechanic. I'd have thought real people operating partition systems would be more aware of the material and military value of landholding. But I do like the fact that it's far less easy for the player to blob than in CK2.

For me, building myself back up is much more fun than conquering everything. So I frequently didn't turn off Gavelkind. And when I played as a Muslim ruler in CK2, I would grant a title to my favored heir, and then, if I decided I liked someone better, I'd give him two titles, etc etc etc until maybe I die, and "Looks like my fifth son has two dukedoms and thus wins the contest"

Well, the Maharani finally died. She was never supposed to rule, being the last granddaughter of a cadet branch of the ruling family. Her grandfather had been thrust into power after the untimely death of his young liege from typhus and was almost immediately deposed by scheming vassals. Civil wars rocked the peninsula for years and it was only in the final months of his life that the old man was able to secure the throne once more, even if he knew that he would never be able to enjoy it himself. Perhaps it was these years of war and the sight of her grandfather peering over maps that inspired Rudaladevi to learn the arts of war. With the rest of her family dead from the bloody years of turmoil, she was the only legitimate heir the old Maharaja had left and assumed the throne at a young age. She lived longer than any of the realm's previous rulers, tripled the size of the Kingdom of Gujarat, was a badass general, and spent her twilight years doing edibles in the holy city of Dvarka. She single handedly turned around the fortunes of the family and now her bloodline can be found in the throne rooms of many of Northern India's greatest kingdoms. Not too shabby!

I ain't going down alone
Dr. Infant, MD
Act 1:

I'm one of 3 Spanish brothers who divided our father's realm pretty equally, and I have untold levels of innate intrigue. Over the first few decades I reunite Leon and a good toehold into the rest of Hispania, with some good hooks and only a modest, necessary and well timed amount of cold blooded assassination (some of them even deserved it, too!). With a capable wife and all strong claimants to my realm dead, I have a handful of kids and ascend into a pretty powerful reign with only a few hosed up setbacks through the years. My daughters are pretty normal but my sons are just about every stripe of fuckup you could imagine, and my heir is the worst of them (might as well have named him Joffrey). I spot this when he's young so as he comes of age I keep a low boiling war going (hard not to with the catholic/muslim divide going on in the peninsula) and send him to fight every battle hoping for some moorish spearman to just have one lucky day. No dice, but he's so thoroughly battle scarred that his health is questionable. Nonetheless, I have a harmonious kingdom. My standing is unimpeachable, my wealth is undeniable, my numerous heinous secrets are safe to die with me, and my old rivals--the ones who survived anyway--are now cherished friends. At 60 I croak with 60-70% of Hispania and leave behind a kingdom set with checks and balances to keep all the powerful hungry vassals neatly arranged and happy.

Act 2:

I'm the new king. I'm in my early 30s but I got started torturing living things at a young age. The only thing I'm good at is killing and hurting and fighting and everybody knows it. I cackled openly at my father's funeral because the whole thing just seemed so funny to me. Nobody, I mean nobody, likes me. Factions form and accelerate and in short order we're in shitstorm territory with open rebellion and zero trust among the loyalists. I'm winning handily in the rebellion, thanks in part to our alliance with France. They don't like me one bit, but my father arranged me to marry their princess when I was a kid and now she's here with me amid all the rebellion and war, so they have to send their troops south to help. My wife hates me too, but she's pregnant at least. Not long before my father died, his spymaster became aware of a plot to kill me, but my new spymaster assures me that matter was handled and it is nothing to worry myself about. While I'm off fighting the rebellious vassals, my wife gives birth to a daughter. A short while later, I'm a widow with an infant. I have to go back to fighting, and not too much longer after that, I die. Not in battle, of which I've endured many, but instead under circumstances that are deeply mysterious and unknown, yet altogether predictable.

Act 3:

I'm a queen and I'm loving two years old. I inherited two Spanish kingdoms, parts of other ones, and a bitter civil war. I may also be the only subject in the realm who had a positive opinion of the former king, but he was my dad and also I'm a toddler. Life is tough and confusing. My armies are quelling the rebellion, I sign all the ransom contracts and other decrees that are set before me, and by the time I'm age 4 the rebellion is over, our lands are intact and we are broke but not bankrupt. I need to find someone I can trust to raise me. I pick an uncle who is a vassal. He has many titles, he was one of the traitors who rebelled against my father, and is my direct heir, but he is nearest the only living family I have left. I also find a stray puppy! I adopt him and he ends up bringing great joys and adventures to my otherwise abysmal childhood. Some years of rebuilding goes by. One of my other uncles, himself still a child, starts to bully me. I'm the queen of Spain but I cannot do anything to stop from being bullied regularly by a child uncle. Around age 11, rebellion strikes again. This time it is my uncle, my guardian these past years, with nearly the full support of my vassals behind him. There is no point in fighting a war, my entire council is in on it. I'm pushed out of my ancestral home of Leon. All of my titles but one are stripped, and I'm left with a county that was taken in a Holy war not that many years ago, by my grandfather. I still have landed vassals, but I think they were just the ones left over who were too unimportant to be let in on this coup. We are left on the outskirts of the realms I inherited, crushed between it, France, and the Islamic nations to the south.

I hire a new court physician from lands so distant I can hardly fathom them, and choose her to also be my guardian. I decide to focus on alliances, like my grandfather did. France is nearby and on good terms with us so I select one of their princes. My betrothed is some kind of cousin of mine, but at least he's the same age as me, and now France again has one of their royal children invested into the fate of my realm. I manage to find a house in the Holy Roman Empire that I work into an alliance through more marriages. I find a stray kitten! The joys and adventures are doubled, and ability to go play with them kept me from having a stress break, and the two of them get along great as well. However, smaller neighboring nations see me as vulnerable. The culture and the religion of nearly all my realm are incompatible with my own, and suddenly I am faced with a populist revolt. Just as it starts, a month later I'm informed the nation that my grandfather took these lands from have decided they will now take it back, and armies begin marching up from the south. I have a very diminished army, but france and part of the HRE are on the way to help. My realm is overcome with battles and sieges and various marching armies. And then my uncle, who took my kingdoms, remembers that he still has claims to my remaining lands and has decided to take them back. Now in a three-sided war, my personal army is in tatters, levies used up, money overspent, my knights mostly dead or wounded, and my council with empty seats and nobody I can fill them with. War over my realm continues to rage, with foreign armies regularly entering my land, fresh for battle, some against and some in defense of this realm that I can no longer protect. During this time, I reach the age to marry my betrothed. Days after the wedding, I find him fighting with my dearly loved pet cat, "Paws". He is holding Paws by the scruff, arm extended out, the cat's eyes are red, and he yells at me and demands that I "get rid of this damned thing now that we're married".

I did what any ruler in my situation would do. I said no, Paws stays. Then I got pissed. Those pets and those interactions were the only good thing in my life at this point (and highly welcome and endearing interludes for me the player as I painfully tried to deal with this collapse of my realm). So after telling him no, I immediately imprisoned my husband. Thinking on it for a little while I decided nah, gently caress it: execute that cat hating motherfucker! Off goes the head of husband-for-a-week. Off goes the alliance with France. Off go their soldiers. I don't give a gently caress anymore, you don't gently caress with this queen's pets.

I'm not interfacing with like 50% of the game's systems but I feel like I'm chugging along pretty well.



I have had zero partition issues once I figured out that as long as my player heir holds the senior rank (Kingdom of Estonia) it literally doesn't matter what happens after because my player heir is in charge of everyone else. The only problem is that I had to create the Duchy of Finland and it cranked my dumb Ambitious king's Stress level to "On Death's Door" which was kind of shocking.
