How do the renown dynasty legacies perks work? I just maxed out the Blood line and forgot the second-to-last unlock is to choose a congenital trait to become more common, and I don't remember choosing one. Can I see what that trait is, or change it?

Do heresies just not get the sinful clergy events or whatever? Nobody is holy warring them, I don't know why it pegs so high.

Insularists get the sinful clergy event. However, as a religion that generally starts in Ireland, if an insular ruler conquers other parts of the isles they often spread it and it’s rare that it breaks once a few decently sized rulers are insularist. In my current game Wales and non-Norse England are 100% Insular from some events around 910 and it becomes hard for the mainland to re-convert the isles.

Is the court physician having to re-interview for their own job on succession a feature or a bug? It's really easy to forget to do and I honestly can't figure out why it's like this.

Court physician seems really tacked on at the last minute. There's no warning in the suggestions window for not having one, even appointing one is buried in the character interaction menus, you can't just click on the court screen and choose from a list like you can with councilors, which is weird. I'm not sure what happens if someone gets sick and you don't have one, I wonder if you even get some kind of warning then?

Yeah, but you can also appoint one directly from your court, but you have to do that manually, and there is no warning that you're missing a physician until either you or one of your close relatives get sick.

Wounded can only be treated if you have a physician when it happens, think first aid. If he doesn't fix it then and there, you gotta wait until it goes away on its own unfortunately.

Speaking of that, there was an amusing hunt event where my genius court physician sister tried to murder my husband. No good choices there (prowess checks), but the rolled outcome of my character stepping in was everyone got wounded.

Which she then immediately patched up for all 3 of us from her 25 learning & level 3 physician.

According to the tooltip, building a temple on your vassal's turf means the vassal gets the 500 piety, not you. This seems a little dumb if I'm paying for the darn thing.

It's real good, most of the issues stem from balancing, and they just pushed out a major patch to fix a lot of those.

Of course it doesn't have the same amount of content CK2 had after years of DLC, but it's a drat good base to build on for the future.

Edit: It's also a lot more beginner friendly.

Also I can't usurp a title that covers half of the Maghreb because the person who holds that title has one county in Scotland and is fighting a war lol

haha I badly wanted to usurp this title but these two guys kept going back in forth in back to back wars constantly and I could never do it. Got to the point where like I slowed down the game and was watching for the moment one would finally win the war so I could usurp.

I wasn't paying attention and somehow I got to negative 400 piety . How do you figure that happened?

I'm guessing it was a combination of:

* I accidentally started an ill advised holy war against laplanders which had conquered much of Wales. (didn't realize that cost piety)
* I denounced the Pope when he was caught in bed with his servants.

Any other reason? How else may I have accidentally bombed my piety?

Seems like my piety is at negative growth due to my Court Chaplain being such poo poo and also the fact that my player character Queen is a glutton. What should I do? Murder the Court Chaplain to try to get a random replacement that has better stats?

Any other ways to grow piety?

Doing some googling I guess I could do a pilgrimage...

If you click the ... in the bottom right to the left of the date display, one of the options is for that, "Lineage" I think it's called. Although I think it just shows the character portrait and some stats, not the generated textual eulogy thing determined by their traits.

I tried CK2 near the end and there was way too much going on for me to piece things together. The new "hover to discover" tooltip thing they got going on answers a LOT of questions I wouldn't have had the patience to google, and the UI is all around very clean for a Pdox game. Also all the characters having 3D models instead of clay-faced portraits really adds to the engagement you feel with the game, more than you'd think.

I'd say now is probably the best time to jump into the franchise. If you want to take a less risky route, its also available for Xbox Gamepass for PC I think its $9.99 a month and has the added benefit of having a lot of other games to play for that month in case you bounce off of it.

Well they may be plotting against you but can't get anyone to join. One of the weird things about the way CK3 handles plots is you can only catch the main plotter when the plot fires and they fail their secrecy roll - during the build up period no matter how good your spymaster is, they can only catch agents. So someone who absolutely hates your guts probably has a plot against you, but if they're a foreigner, everyone in your court probably hates them more than they hate you and so they're sitting there with like 10+ years on their expected completion time.

Personality traits probably affect willingness to start plots too. Someone who is just/compassionate/honest is pretty unlikely to want to try to murder you.

It is way, way, way past base no-DLC CK2. Not as full-featured as all-DLC CK2, of course, but launch CK2 was a shell of a game compared to CK3.

Encountered a bug I haven’t seen before — when my monarch dies, I get a game over screen, even though he has many children (and siblings, etc) and it’s a primogeniture inheritance. Weirdly, on his death I get two succession notices — one where it passes, normally, to his eldest son (though there is a note on the heir saying ‘no player heir’), and one where it’s game over. It repeats, as well, on a crash-reload.

I might try giving titles to my heir before death and see if that changes anything? Really not sure what could be causing this.

They should probably have a look at vassals thinking they can call their liege to wars if they're allied with them. My vassals that are allied to me through marriages with my daughters keep starting wars with neighbouring rulers even if they're outnumbered 10-1, and I suspect it's because they think they can call me in.

Yeah in terms of content comparison CK3 base game is probably roughly equivalent to CK2 plus 5 expansions.

I have been very impressed with the way the majority of game mechanics from the expansions have been rolled into the base game.

One issue I have is the fact that in streamlining the differences between religions to work with the new modular system the religions can end up feeling very samey.

Though this seems like an easy thing to work on with an expansion.

Have there been any clues what the first content packs are going to be?

Or more generally, more meaningful differences and distinctions in government styles and inheritance laws than just whatever-partition vs. whatever-geniture under feudal rules with some vague flavour added. Preferably ones that come with intriguing ways of subverting and destabilising them through intrigue and to cause more break-ups and internal struggle rather than just constant conflict between nations.

Stability is far too easy at the moment, and becomes easier the bigger you are which ends up making it easier to become bigger. It's not a very interesting (or sensible) lack-of-dynamic to have.

The weirdest part is definitely that elective successions don't take all the de jure counties along with them anymore, they're only for the bigger titles alone, and that you can't change county laws, so that even if you play the elective game well with your duchies and kingdoms, the actual poo poo that contains resources can only get handed out gavelkind for most of the game.

Yeah I agree. Oddest for me is the complete lack of negative opinion modifier for distance to capital like in CK2. Might help break up stability in large realms, and perhaps help with the still too common mass spread of Asatru realms.
