Started a few games and couldn't really get into it until I checked out India. Wow there are some seriously good provinces in southern India, I think one has like 6 or 7 spots for baronies, plus really high development in the earlier start. The cashflow is quite considerable compared to what I was working with in Europe. Family drama: I had 3 daughters. One of them was murdered. I was convinced it was a newly conquered countess who hated me, so I had her murdered in retaliation. Then my wife got a dagger stuck in her. Convinced it was my new Duke who also hated me, so I had him whacked as well. Plot twist: it was my firstborn ambitious daughter who got caught red handed trying to murder my court physician. Joke's on her thought. Got a new wife, who gave me four sons. Before she went on her murdery spree she stood to inheret a dukedom. Now she will inheret nothing.

Tetramin posted:When going to war for a claim, how is it determined whether your ruler takes ownership of a county title, or if it just vassalizes the current owner? Is it based on the type of claim, like a de Jure claim vassalizes while a manufactured claim conquers? Yes, a lot of it depends on the casus belli. The wiki is still in its infancy but offers a reasonable, if brief, rundown: https://ck3.paradoxwikis.com/Casus_belli The four “regular” ones to look out for at the moment are: subjugation and forced vassalisation (makes someone your vassal), excommunication (disposes a rule — you get nothing, unless you're next in line), and push claim (the claimant gets the title; whether they become a vassal to you or not depends on your current status and relative ranks). The main one that can yield some surprising results is the holy war CB, where what you get directly and what gets vassalised depends on the difference in faith between the attacker and defenders vassals, where what fully counts as a different faith — especially with the new religion system — can be a bit tricky to fully predict.

ive been stuck on the defending side of the crusade for england for fifty five loving years and i cant figure out how to get out of it. im the emperor of kanem borno and i went feudal part way through and havent developed enough to actually pay any kind of army that would be able to impact anything. the defending side has maxed out score from fighting and the attacking side has nearly maxed out score from occupations and its such a gross mess to try to interact with. at one point i occupied half of france and all of the papal state and it still wasnt enough to end the war

The 867 African lady start is actually pretty fun to get into. It's not as hard as it looks at first glance. Your husband owns a realm of his own and will help you in wars, and you have easy targets around you to conquer. You get an early event asking you if you want to either teach your son your ways, or go full matriarchal (of course!) in which case the main challenge is just finding a way to pop out some daughters. Once you get a hold of your husband's land somehow then the only looming challenge is Ghana to your west, everything to the east is just slowly conquering your way across.

How can I increase the % rate to something not terrible? I mean doesn't it say the factors right there? More development in Norse counties will speed it up. By the looks of it you also haven't actually selected it as your Fascination which gives a big boost to it.

I'm having trouble selecting troops. I guess I am just doing it wrong. It is making wars very tedious. In CK2 I just clicked and dragged over the area with the troops in it. In CK3 it is popping up all the county level tool tips so I can't select that way. Whenever I try to select the troops directly I seem to be selecting the county. To fight wars I have to pause the game, zoom in and then click and drag 3 or 4 times to select my troops. When the AI is doing that manic redirect every second thing it makes fighting wars very painful. How do I assuredly select troops the first time, every time?

You can also select armies from the Outlier you can toggle from the scroll icon in the top right.

I also had trouble so I use the outliner now, but I still have some trouble actually making them move, I think because accidentally clicking on a settlement selects that instead. I wish it didn't when an army is selected. I also wish the '< some religion> in <some place>' popup would let me click something on it that would show me that religion's sheet. Is it a twisted mockery of our faith or does it have good points? It's too much bother to find out.

So far I've only been able to play one game on newbie island, was about 30 gold away from forming Ireland and then my guy died the titles went everywhere. Might see if I can do another run knowing what I know now and push for unification before my death. On the mods side, I'm very excited for the LotR and GoT mods that are incoming, looks like Realms In Exile is already underway, paper map looks pretty nice, although that non-canon Wulfgar guy rubs me the wrong way; I feel like even with the most overt references to real cultures Tolkien made they were still shaped to feel like they fit and I'm not sure that name is doing it for me. But I suppose there will have to be a fair bit of non-canon stuff to fill out the content, I just hope it's given a bit more thought?

How can I increase the % rate to something not terrible? As culture head you can designate one tech as a Fascination/focus, which tends to speed the tech up significantly based on the culture head's learning. A big part of it though is that 'Average Development of Norse Counties' counts for a lot. If you want to boost that a bit, consider raiding with your liege a bunch. (Every time you raid with your character as commander, there's a chance of a raid event where you can pick money+reknown, or sometimes a nice +40% development progress to your capital. ( every 100 points gives a development rank up.) It compounds because that event becomes more common once you get the viking trait. Towards the end of my dude's life I could easily get 120-200 development% for my capital, which of course then speeds up the development of neighbouring counties. Partition really loving scared me for a bit there. My last char created the Empire of Jorvik before croaking. Then when he died his heir got it, but the secondary heir suddenly got the created Empire of Britannia.  Thankfully, the 'Empire of Britannia' title it auto-generated for him only had de-jure for the kingdom of england basically. As opposed to the entire british isles. Ah well, that's a bonus +2 dynasty reknown/month until I kick his rear end in, I guess. e: reaaaalllly loving hate how hard it is to save up Dynasty points, because the fuckwit that was assigned Dynasty Head after my dude passed away loving blew it on another thing I wasn't interested in.  2000 points down the drain for '+10% piety' instead of saving up those last 100 points and getting the tier 3 kin or blood legacy.

Thanks for the suggestion fot African thunderdome, was a fun run. Sadly converting to feudal destroyed my realm as neither me or my vassals domain buildings survived the transition, and tribal men at arms convert to costing gold unlike ck2. Bankrupted, no levies and or buildings kinda ended it. Hopefully something that gets looked at in future. Thinking India next!

what the gently caress. My 10-year-old first born son (and potential heir) somehow wound up as ruler of a neighboring kingdom's barony?????? I don't see any family ties, and I've never ruled this part of the map before. My wife was a lowborn so I'm not really sure how this happened? What the gently caress? Did I miss some event? I only noticed because I was about to give him a recently conquered part of Scotlandd and realized he wasn't in my court. I can't see any avenue to get him back...

Dumb warfare question: Is there any looting/devastation mechanic for armies running around during a war? I can't seem to capture anything that isn't a castle, so early small-scale wars seem like they can be bloodless siege trading where if you capture their capital first, you can enforce without taking any losses? Any downsides for enemy army rampaging around your lands?

For those who haven’t tried it, Alfred the Great is a much easier start than it is sold as being. You start with just Devon, but barring accident you inherit Wessex quite quickly. After that just bide your time until you can pick off one of the weaker vikings using mercs and men at arms and/or get an ally with some real clout. Alfred conquered Mercia, which survives as a grossly oversized petty kingdom title - is there a way for it to morph into a slightly smaller Duchy? Alfred’s son Aethelfrith died within a couple of years of taking the throne, but *his* son Aethelwulf the one-eyed (don’t know what happened) went on to rule for 60 years and found the Knights Templar despite being a massive nerd who spent all his time reading books. He handled the inevitable early rebellion by trying to arrest one of the conspirators before the rest had the chance to join and winning the ensuing civil war. Then tragedy struck, as days before Aethelwulf one-eye died, his son and heir was murdered by unknown persons, leaving his 9yo grandson via a daughter to take the throne. For some reason, the kid’s heir for England and Wessex was his father, who was not a dynasty member, but somehow he survived to adulthood, marrying a beautiful older wife who he promptly romanced. Now he’s 25 and she is 30 and they have six kids, 2 of them twins. They’re very happy together, and everyone loves their gregarious, beer-swilling young king. Apart from an uncle but he mysteriously got promoted to lead an army that was hunting down Viking remnants in Scotland and got his head torn off by a berserker, nicely ending the threat from his faction.

My experience with a norseman game: Do you like war? Because here are 4 at once! Lose everything except for a chieftainship, making 0.3 gold, no army, and my one ally is dead. Character is really good - thoughtful, just, etc, but everybody hates her. I think I'm getting it right.

The first screenshot shows the paper map view of the empire (in teal), which I nominally controlled at the time of succession. However because of partition I only had the capital county and the duchy and kingdom titles it belongs to. So enough vassals hated me to back another claimant and you can see in the second screenshot my territory (and loyal vassal territory) in teal versus everyone else who backed the other claim. You can see the outline of the empire title in white
