KingKapalone posted: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? Regarding giving titles to your heirs, under confederate partition, you can only give titles to your children if they stand to inherit them upon death. So if hypothetically you'd created the petty kingdom of Meath before your character's death, you'd only have been able to give that to your third son, and he'd have become independent like the second. Same with the earldoms, you wouldn't have been able to grant Dublin to your first son, since it's earmarked for your third. Confederate Partition makes it really hard to expand, but if you can create the Kingdom of Ireland, then your children will be dukes under you as king, making things a bit easier since they stay in the realm. Don't worry about the claim thing for your heir, since Ireland doesn't exist it doesn't really matter. It just reflects the fact that the father of the guy you play in the tutorial was High King until 1063 when his vassals deposed him and the kingdom was destroyed. If you have enough counties, since it doesn't exist that will be enough to create the kingdom, claim or no.

Regarding prestige, tribals and martial trees. In one of my first games and the one I put in the most time in before my current run as Anjou (where I'm now the ruler of western France), I started as the 1-county Turkic chiefdom of Jend and I allied both of my neighbors and did no expansion at all with my first ruler, just constantly answering calls to arms and using the accumlated prestige to build up what essentially became pretty much an invincible army of horse archer men-at-arms. I never took the majesty focus with the first guy (though it is very useful for tribals, especially as you get bigger, don't get me wrong), and focused pretty much entirely on the martial tree. Filling out the strategist tree first and oh boy does it synergize well with having horse archer men-at-arms. Like horse archers are powerful on their own for sure, but they also counter skirmishers and bowmen. The AI kind of loves to build light foot MAA, which are cheap and actually have values for all the stats so iof you can get alot of them they actually are quite good. But. They are countered hard by horse archers, even more so when you're not in forests or jungles and such. Anyway one of the first strategist perks gives bonuses to horse archers and lgith cav, great, take that one, makes a great unit better. The second increases the effectiveness of all unit counters, so your horse archers who already were really powerful and countered what is likely the most common men-at-arms out there, now just eat them the gently caress up, probably even in terrain where the light foot would have the advantage. Then you've got boosts to movement speed (which is always good, because the AI is going to be running the gently caress away from these armies) and the reduced retreat loses in the middle (occasionally you'll get into a losing fight so that helps, and horse archers have good screening stat also so it helps more with them). The first one on the right isn't going to be that relevant until you get siege weapons unfortunately, but the second one increases raid speed and supply limit can be very useful. Cap it all off with the strategist trait which increases enemy fatal casualties and removes river crossing disadvantage for you and you can just hunt down those enemy armies and see them melt before you.  (also note the prestige gain here, that goes straight into more horse archers)

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. it is a lot more fun to play as a kid, however there's absolutely no reason why I as a 12 year old boy can't manufacture the murder of a nearby rival, wtf Paradox patch that poo poo in

Stux posted: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 This is probably it (CPU is a 9700K). It's not constant, roughly between one and five times a session, so it probably does correlate with poo poo Going Down, and I just haven't noticed because I'm too busy being startled by the UPS beeping.

Try to stack up knight effectiveness bonus and roleplay family power ranger killing peasants. Intrique is really fun but the character who I took over most of the UK with was all in on diplomacy and the extra CBs you get are super helpful.

I really want to mess around with Learning as I haven't really had a character use it much so far.

Intrigue is fantastic and becoems great for money-making by making short detour into avarice for the ability to use hooks for money. If you don't know what else you should be plotting for at the monet get a hook on someone with money and force them to pay up.

disaster pastor posted:PSU is 750, GPU is a 1080 (not Ti), vsync is on. So nothing too wild. I started a speed 5 observer run on my machine just to see what my numbers are and I'm peaking at around 50% utilization on my 9900K, which means it's maxing our 8 logical cores so pretty good for a game. CPUs with fewer cores would presumably see higher max utilization. A 1080 is pretty high-end for its time and draws like 200W max average but might peak higher. It's also old enough that CK3 might put a strain on it at 60 FPS. Anyhow, I don't think a peak of 486W at the socket is worrying. You're probably looking at around 400W after losses, which is well within spec for the PSU and about what your components might reasonably top out at. I can see not wanting to average that much over any length of time, but in this case it's probably just that the game is new and well-optimized so it can in fact momentarily tax your system.

I think the way every single lifestyle tree feels genuinely useful is probably my favourite thing about this whole game. Back in CK2 it was basically Stewardship or Martial when small, and then Diplomacy once big, but all of the trees have really awesome abilities in them such that I don't at all feel like my heir has to get a good diplomacy education to be worth a drat, and the fact you're not locked in to your education too is a huge benefit. My previous emperor had a good stewardship education, but after picking up a few talents on the right tree, I switched to Scholarship for the rest of his life and by the end of it he was rocking 32 Learning, had Converted the realm to a Gnostic-Incestuous version of Insular Christianity, and unlocked our first High Medieval Innovation. What a champ.

Had anyone using the gamepass version having trouble launching the game out of nowhere? I played the game all weekend with no issues and tried to load it this morning and now the launcher is saying failed to launch the game and windows defender keeps blocking it even if i turn it off. Its just strange to me to work fine for a whole week and stop working now.

Gasmask posted: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). This bit is a CK2 rule that isn't true anymore. As long as they're a lower rank, they'll become your vassal. They don't need to already be one. It's very nice! The only real downside is they're often somebody of a foreign culture, so you get more land in one go but a vassal who doesn't like you as much compared to you claiming the land yourself and handing it out to people of your own culture. I mean, sure, they'll love you at first, but a generation later it's somebody wondering why this foreign swine is their liege. The modifier isn't that big, though, it just adds a bit to your just-after-succession problems.

There's only 3 counties left on the island for me to pick up, but unfortunately my powerful martial ruler died so now I'm stuck with his nerdy son, and it's really drained my total levies. Old king could've stomped a couple of these counties with ease, new king not so much. plus now I gotta contend with all these Powerful Vassals wanting a seat on the council even though their stats suck.

Sway them, bribe them, give them vassals or counties to keep their opinions high, give your children to them as wards or if all else fails pawn them off to other vassals so they're not your problem anymore. It's fine to have vassals with the penalty, they won't do anything so long as you keep them happy one way or another. There's no reason not to always have a Sway scheme running, it's basically free opinion. You can set your chancellor to improve vassal opinion by +10 as well if you really need to.

You start out pretty small but you're surrounded by weak counties ripe for the taking and you can just ignore the British Isles while your brothers go off and do their thing over there. Before too long you're king of Sweden, then from there it's just a question of picking a direction to expand in. Access to Scandinavian elective succession makes keeping your stuff easier, too.

How does the "hostile county" modifier that creates attrition against raiding armies come into being? I'm running a bunch of raiders around West Francia and noticing that I can move freely through some counties, while others hit me with a whopping percent-based attrition modifier because they are Hostile Counties, but I haven't figured out what the difference is yet. It's not the presence or proximity of castles, because Sable and Le Mans are right next to each other, and Sable is safe but Le Mans is hostile.

Raiding seems a little micro-heavy. I feel like I always JUST want to raise my men-at-arms so they don't cost me any gold maintenance, otherwise I'm losing gold by having a bunch of levies raised. So that means I need to constantly move the rally point to wherever is closest to where I want to raid, click raise raiders, and then immediately control-click to stop gathering and start moving. And then bring them back in, move the rally point somewhere else, lower them, and raise them again. It's a bit fiddly, and possibly a little busted that you can just teleport your men-at-arms stacks like that. Levies at least take some time to raise again.canada jezus posted:What are everyone's favorite lifestyles?

I feel all of them can be pretty effective, but I'm partial to Diplomacy because it just passively makes dealing with a large realm so much easier if your diplomacy score is high, and if you really want to milk that level of fame (i.e. you are tribal) August is the way to go, but I'm partial to the Family tree myself for the incredibly high stats it can give, plus the Befriend scheme makes realm management (and stress management, it's possible to get 100% stress reduction with enough friends) easier. Also, did you know that if your councilors are your friends, they get a small bonus to whatever task they do? It's a nifty little trick.

Is there something wrong with the way the Suggestions box decides a :Realm will lose land when Vassal dies? I'm being warned I'll lose a county that is my vassal earl's only county. He has four unlanded children, including two sons. All the children have lieges who are my vassals. The county sheet says it has high partition male preference. The relevant duchy has not been created yet. My primary title is Queen of Wales, where I have absolute crown authority and primogeniture. I am also queen of England, where the county is, and the kingdom sheet for that says inheritance will follow my primogeniture male preference law. I'm assuming the suggestion is wrong, mayby tripped up by the duchy not existing. Meanwhile I did lose a different county that was inherited by the King of Jerusalem. I was expecting that, but the Suggestions box said nothing about it.
