I’ve won three crusades so far - first two I was the primary contributor and so each one my cousin was installed as the queen. That’s great, right? Well, by the time each next crusade came about, the kingdom of my cousin (first Jerusalem, then Syria) had passed onto their son (in both cases descended from two french catholic parents) who apparently immediately converted to bedouin seveners. This makes sense mechanically but I’m grumpy because it doesn’t make sense historically and it feels like the only way to keep the fight going is to take the switch character option you’re given on a win. Oh, and the third crusade was called against the kingdom of Jerusalem. Memes.

FrickenMoron posted:I tried starting a game in 867 in ireland, conquered 2 neighboring provinces and then just keep getting destroyed by viking factions who can raise 2k+ soldiers despite owning only 2 lands? How are they doing that? IIRC certain vikings start with bonus troops ("special soldiers" in-game) who don't refill once lost, but as with the other person who asked about a similar thing, they can also hire mercenaries so check their gold amount. You can always see a breakdown of enemy troops from their character menu which also helps to figure out which Men-at-Arms types you want to hire to counter them.

Managed to survive my succession crisis/stealing my brother's lawful inheritance, and then a ton of subsequent wars by opportunistic bastards nearby, entirely off an alliance that I swung with Hungary and their 8000 soldiers. By the time they won all my wars for me, they were 500 gold in debt. Thanks, buddy.

The Rome one was particularly galling, I wanted to just give the land back to the pope, but couldn't select him as a beneficiary, so when we won I had my sister become Queen of Romagna...and within 5 years she'd converted to islam despite only Rome itself being muslim. I think generally characters should be very reluctant to change to the religion/culture of the peasantry, and basically never if they're of an organised faith and consider the peasants' faith to be Evil.

That's what I get for multiple generations of inbreeding. Every family member gets their own branch even if they are married and have the same children. My previous player character had 13 children and my current one has 9, so the dynasty is real wide.

Yeah, I found it pretty funny when my cousin who I made King of Jerusalem converted and I liked having a muslim house of my dynasty, but it is pretty silly. Worse is that it makes it hard to install leaders of your culture/religion in lands you conquer and let them go through the long process of converting the counties for you like you could in CK2.

You have big defensive bonuses from buildings and terrain. You still have to swear fealty to your most powerful neighbour most of the time to be safe, but the bonuses from being on your liege's council make that desirable anyway.

How does the ability to designate your heir (that you get from Absolute authority) interact with Partition succession? Do you get to pick which kid is your primary heir, or something else?

Bold Robot posted:How does the ability to designate your heir (that you get from Absolute authority) interact with Partition succession? Do you get to pick which kid is your primary heir, or something else? Pretty much that. The succession rules are still fully in place — you're just… well… designating who your heir is. It gets around the issue where you have a decent realm setup, where you've managed to finagle sensible distribution of regions, and suddenly it turns out that your oldest kid has picked up every negative trait in the book while you weren't looking, and the first thing that will happen on succession is a revolt and/or a knife in the back. So instead you just switch it around, get the second kid as your heir, and start preparing to take advantage of when the other kid (still) gets a knife in the back. It no longer becomes so desperately important that your first kid turns out alright and survives all the way to the end — instead, you can let them roam more freely and build up experience in all kinds of otherwise (dynastically) dangerous environments.

Is warring amongst vassals bugged? Playing as the duke of Holland in the HRE, whenever I want to declare war on a fellow vassal the game declares war on the emperor instead. Crown authority is at at 2, so I should be able to gobble up my neighbours. Conversely, playing as the king of Ireland with crown authority 3, I see vassals beating eachother up constantly.

I keep on waging incredibly stupid wars and running my peasant hordes into any army they can find, losing them all and levying again until I win a victory and start snowballing, it has led to me having no sons and a council full of idiots because im getting my knights constantly owned, somehow I have survived every battle. This isn't optimal but it's fun as all hell, though I do agree thats levy replenishment might be a little fast, especially with the +100% replenishment rate perk.

Combined with the warnings that lands could leave my realm due to my vassals having heirs that are landed elsewhere still popping up, I feel like having High Crown authority isn’t doing much for me other than letting me use Primo and getting all my vassals ticked enough that every time I die and my heir inherits, all my powerful vassals start a Liberty Faction again. I’d go up to Absolute to see if that helps but I don’t want to make the rebellion every time I die worse.

I don't know if this is just CPU abuse on CK3's part or what, but the left is my UPS under normal load, the right is a peak during CK3 (that is, the UPS started beeping its alarm and I checked the load; no other game causes that to happen).

486W is quite a lot but not off the chart for a computer if you have some high-wattage Radeon or an X080 Ti. Do you know what your computer's PSU is rated for? For practical solutions to the problem: if vsync is off, change it to on so the GPU doesn't torch itself pointlessly running at 200 FPS. FWIW, high end consumer CPUs peak at like 130W, high end GPUs peak at about 280W. Add hard drives, networking and general motherboard things then multiply by whatever the power loss is in the PSU for total consumption.

What are everyone's favorite lifestyles? I know the "best" ones are probably whatever you need atm (and stewardship in general), but like just favorites? I quite love the torturer/intrigue one. Just everyone poo poo scared of you, kidnapping motherfuckers and torturing them for funsies. Diplomacy is great though, make friends, everyone loving you, tons of prestige. Learning is situational but cool. I haven't played any martial characters yet, but i think that'll be my next game. Try to stack up knight effectiveness bonus and roleplay family power ranger killing peasants. edit: Also can i get into weird witchcraft stuff?

Check if you're running ultra low latency mode in the Nvidia control panel, you don't need it for CK3 and it'll run up the power usage like mad. *Edit* Might have been thinking fast Vsync, it's the setting that runs your GPU over your refresh rate to minimize latency.

So nothing too wild. thats not really particularly out of line, assuming you have a cpu that matches up to the 1080 then it could easily peak up that high or higher turboing up before it settles back down, and theres def situations in the game which kick the cpu up into a pretty high load momentarily like raising your armies spread out over your realm etc

I'm sure everyone has already worked this out, but if you have a high intrigue and can get a decent chance of abducting a neighbouring ruler, you can wardec just before the kidnap event triggers and get an immediate 100% war score when you snatch up the ruler. Works best when you have enough piety to be able to holy war for duchies or kingdoms.

Can't stop playing but I really need some clarification on succession for tutorial Ireland. I got the 2 duchies and 7 counties I needed to claim the King title, but I died like 12 gold short while waiting to get 500 gold (my income is only 7.7 which seems bad). Then all of my land gets split up between my sons so my new ruler would have to go to war to win all that stuff back? Why doesn't my heir actually get all my stuff? Here's what my land looks like at the save right before death:  I'm also not sure what the blue outline means. Here are my titles if the crests make any sense.  My heir kept the primary petty kingdom title and the Earl title for the holding. My second son got the second petty kingdom and the 2nd Earl listed. My third son got the last Earl of Dublin. I didn't make the Title for Duchy of Meath since I was trying to save for King so I think that's why I lost Athlone in the middle of all that as it was removed from the realm. Should I create that Duchy and give it to my heir so he has it already? Should I give him all the Earl titles too? I was so close to King, but I see that my heir has no claim to King. How would I get that back? Even if I fight my brothers it seems like I just have that land. Also, what does this mean? She is my second (imprisoned) son's wife. Don't know how to press the claim.

I always played to avoid them in CK2 but spending some time as a kid is actually quite a bit more fun now. Paradox seem to have added a lot more event types for that part of the game (bullying/being bullied, crushing etc) and it doesn't feel like so much of a pointless waste of time as it used to. I did quite like how important regents could be in CK2, but it really gimped your ability to do certain things when you were regented.

Are the total soldier counts tooltips just estimates based on leader skills or something? Finding them totally inaccurate. Enemy forces are rolling around with 17k stacks when they only show a total army size of 13k in the war tab at the same time. Combat is still pretty opaque and the ai reactions to player choices at long distances + movement lock is really frustrating. Feels worse than earlier games but that’s probably just a result of it being outshadowed by improvements in so many other areas.

There's very early perks in the Gallant tree that specifically makes it less dangerous. With a good ruler with decent martial and prowess and some perks filled in I actually find it really good to have lead him armies and not that dangerous. Risks of course, but I'll take them.

KingKapalone posted:Then all of my land gets split up between my sons so my new ruler would have to go to war to win all that stuff back? Why doesn't my heir actually get all my stuff? Welcome to gavelkind, or confederate partition as it's called in this game. Every realm has a succession scheme. For most realms in the early game, it's confederate partition. What that means is that when you die, your stuff is divided up among your legal heirs (in your case, your sons). However, you as a player only get to follow one of them, whichever is your heir. The solution to this is to change the succession scheme for your favorite titles to something that isn't gavelkind/partition, such as tanistry or Scandinavian elective. However, those come with their own set of problems. It's not until much later that you get to change your realm to primogeniture, i.e. oldest heir takes it all. edit: Note that the realm succession scheme is separate from title succession. Your realm will typically still be gavelkind while your titles are elective. KingKapalone posted:Also, what does this mean? She is my second (imprisoned) son's wife. Don't know how to press the claim. When you declare war on another ruler and you have someone in your court with a claim, you can choose their claim as the casus belli. If you win, they get the title and become your vassal. Hyper Crab Tank fucked around with this message at 16:29 on Sep 7, 2020 |

Okay, you remember yesterday how I was having a problem with the realm getting stupidly divided up for no good reason. WELL I FOUND OUT WHAT CAUSED IT In this picture the Jarldom of Vestfold has Scandi elective (hereafter reduce to SE) and so does the Kingdom of Norway. All well and good, and I can continue to receive the full amount of counties when my ruler dies. All good so far. However the second I institute SE in The Empire of Scandinavia it all goes to poo poo and I get this  Having also lost a load of other provinces beforehand. To me this seems like a bug, there is nothing mentioning that setting your highest title to something else should cause lower ranked titles to go to some random other bugger in the family line.

KingKapalone posted:Also, what does this mean? She is my second (imprisoned) son's wife. Don't know how to press the claim. Characters can have claims on certain titles and they often want you (as a powerful ruler) to 'press' them; they want you to go to war against whoever holds that title, so you can beat them and put the claimant in place. Mechanically, you do this when declaring war - you choose 'Agathe's claim(s)' - and if you're successful that claimant will take over whatever title was being disputed. If the claimant is already a vassal of yours (and the pressed claim is to a title that's lower rank than yours) they will stay your vassal, meaning the land you fought for becomes part of your realm - so it can be helpful in terms of expansion. However, if they're not your vassal they will usually become independent (or slot into whatever the relevant feudal hierarchy is), meaning you get gently caress all (except a new ruler who likes you more). If you don't press their claims or they don't have a good reason to stick around (title, council position etc) they'll leave and try and get someone else to do their fighting for them.
