So here I am, scrolling down the Steam store page, and notice this thing passing by: "Dating sims? Wait, I haven't been playing dating sims, what is this?" *clicks link*  Uh, ok then. I mean, I guess I can't say they have nothing in common now that the game has Adamites that are visually... distinct, but I'm not sure if there is a big overlap in target audience here. Then again, anime mods, so maybe Steam really is on to something.

RED TEXT BIG GUN posted:Is pressing Kingdom claims of a courtier bugged / not working? I did the find claimants event, I got someone with claim on Kingdom West Francia and a handful of counties in West Francia. I can click on the declare war option for the current King of Francia. In the declare war screen I can pick the claimant's claims but the warning tooltip says there *are* no claims. I'm an emperor, if that matters. You can only press the claims of female claimants in certain scenarios (such as the target themselves being female or underage, I believe)

Owning baronies as you primary domain is great because revoking them from those auto-generated minor nobles doesn't count as tyranny or anything, so if your domain limit fluctuates between rulers, you can just totally freely hand them out or revoke them as needed whenever. So I just have 2 relatively small duchies but with the capital county of each packed full of castles that I own. If I get a really lovely Stewardship ruler I can temporarily scale down to only 7 domain holding and then back up to 11 with my next ruler without ever pissing off any vassals that matter

Have they said anything about balancing Crusades yet? Because the pope often has unlimited gold (I think thanks to Crusade war chests), he can just hire unlimited Mercs and they're basically impossible to fight off. There needs to be something like a limit on the number of merc companies the Pope can hire.

toasterwarrior posted:The more baronies you hold in a county, the better IMO, since the councillor jobs only work by the county and most castle buildings only grant their bonuses on a county-level. Also, revoking baronies costs no tyranny. It's very good to have two duchies, yes, but in the sense that you want access to that second duchy building slot; it's more important to have better counties than duchies, and that means picking the counties with the most holding slots. There are two things here. In terms of development, this is correct (provided you build buildings which encourage development), and if your culture is pretty small on the map, this can mean rapid cultural innovation discovery. It may depend on terrain, as not all buildings are good at encouraging development, the best are ports, though farms and fields are decent. In terms of taxes/levies, this is not as good as holding as many counties directly as possible and filling empty holding slots with temples leased to a theocratic realm priest. Though also as Hargrimm mentioned, owning additional castles in your capital county can make fluctuating Stewardship/domain limit between rulers easier to manage.

violent sex idiot posted:you can hold castle baronies just fine, and temples if your religion is cool with it Really? That huge economic effortpost is based entirely on the idea that baronies have to be delegated, which is why building Temples with a Theocratic religion is better than any other holding. If you could get direct taxes this would make building castles a no-brainer. I guess it's a moot point as it looks like the game forces you to build one of each holding before allowing you to build another castle? So it would only come into play with counties with 4 or more baronies

If you could get direct taxes this would make building castles a no-brainer. This is not really correct. Consider that each castle you own takes up your domain limit, whether it's a county capital castle or just another castle in the same county. If they both count the same, then owning another county is better than owning another barony, because you get all of the baron-level vassals (and baron-level vassals do not count against your vassal limit) in the new county in addition to your new castle. There's also the fact that a county capital castle has 4 building slots rather than 3.

Oh, I forgot about the domain limit, I was just thinking about that in regard to counties. That makes sense. Right now I have two duchies I am keeping within the family line so that's 7 towards my limit, honestly if a secondary castle took up a slot that would be suboptimal

You also have to work towards pumping Crown Authority and negotiating vassal contracts when you can in order to maximize taxes from them. Also the levies thing; as of the current balance early game levies are vital, obviously, but once you can truly afford a full complement of MAA then levies are a massive liability. I say this with full understanding that the multiplicative bonuses applying to MAA feels really overboard at a certain point and will probably get nerfed, but right now maximizing levies isn't as important as being able to afford and buff your MAAs of choice. That said, the buildings that buff your MAAs also provide levies generally so

It's not Crusade war chests that leads to Infinite Pope Money, it's selling indulgences to the entire Catholic world. Which I guess is realistic (for example, it makes fighting actual wars against the papal states and vassalizing them way harder than in the last game) but yeah it must also make defending against crusades even worse than it already is if the Pope sends those endless mercenaries to the Levant as well. (in my game literally every Crusade has failed anyway except the one targeted at Spain, because the Arabian blob is stable and terrifying).

Incidentally, since capital county castles have 4 building slots, this makes holding more counties also slightly better for buffing MAA while staying under the domain limit.toasterwarrior posted:You also have to work towards pumping Crown Authority and negotiating vassal contracts when you can in order to maximize taxes from them. This only really applies to count-level vassals, baron-level vassals don't have contracts (and generally suck). While baron-level vassals suck, temples that you lease to your theocratic realm priest are controlled only by their opinion of you, and the opinion of one character is far easier to manage than a gaggle of vassals.

So I joined a crusade and I had to appoint a beneficiary. For some reason it couldn't appoint anyone, what's up with that? I was the main contributor and would have gotten a decent chunk of land, but since I couldn't appoint anyone I ended up with a stack of cash and piety.

You can only appoint an adult member of your dynasty who isn’t a ruler and isn’t an heir to anything. I usually end up with mostly random female dynasty members as possible beneficiaries. If you have a small dynasty you might not have any eligible people. Although one time I disinherited one of my sons because he was sub-par and then made him my beneficiary. Then we won and he became the king of Syria and then he immediately converted to Druze and then died. But my daughter is still doing pretty good as the queen of Castile from a previous crusade.

To be eligible as a beneficiary, someone has to not be landed or an heir to any title (among other things, but this is the one causing what you're seeing). Since you're probably on some kind of partition inheritance, and so are whatever siblings/niblings/cousins have inherited land away from you since game start, it's very likely that the only people who will be able to be beneficiaries are like, the fifth son of your youngest brother or, more likely, a daughter somewhere (since basically everyone in Christendom except the Visigoths, Catalans, Basques, and Occitans has Male Only or Male Preference inheritance).

Never played a CK game before, I went into the game almost blind (rush through tutorial) playing as "The Deep" chieftainess of Iceland. I conquered and Catholicized all the islands north of the British mainland, tried my hand at raiding (didn't seem very profitable, but its free money) and just as I was about to invade the mainland I died and realized I had no idea how Titles actually worked because my Heir barely controlled anything. Whoops. Did I fail to allocate things, or did I just have too many children for poo poo to be divided between? I don't really know. Time for a redo, why learn from failure.

Chocobo posted:or did I just have too many children for poo poo to be divided between? It's this. Nearly everybody in CK3 starts out with (and, until a mid-game tech, is locked to) a succession scheme called "partition," which divides up your lands among eligible kids when you die. Moreover, they mostly use "confederate partition," which will actually create duchies/kingdoms/empires for those kids when possible. The best solution is to never take sufficient land to where you're able to create a second title that's at the same tier as your main title (unless you'll then be able to create the next tier above it) and to have as few sons as possible.

I like to marry the eldest daughter matrilineally, so that if worst comes to worst and all the sons die, she'll inherit and the main title will stay in the family. Note that you can't directly plot to kill your own children, but you can make your loser 2-prowess son be a knight, put him in every dangerous battle, and then weep very convincing tears when he bites it in a way that is entirely not your fault.

I have been having a blast playing this character since 1 year old. Like. Getting to 16 felt like a high wire act as a lot of people wanted me dead. It also gives me a view on the scope of this guys life. He was such a sweet boy, but I was so expansionist in my territory snatching that he’s grown to be a reclusive bastard. It’s like Boyhood but with more adamists

You can also launch the game in debug mode and use the console to give yourself gold or different traits or just kill a lot of people.
