If setting all my vassals free has taught me anything, it's that the AI absolutely cannot handle warfare in the late game. They constantly raise all their levies for no reason, then have them just stand around while they siege holdings with a very small number of siege weapons, often with a siege taking 12 months. Then if a hostile army comes and besieges some holding on the other side of their empire, they just abandon their own sieges and move all their army over there until the other guy runs away. E: oh hey the Pope called a crusade for one county. That's 30 fervor well spent right there.

Great, right? Except I didn't realize the person in question was my spymaster. This did not prevent said spymaster from scheming against herself, and, ultimately, being successful in her own assassination. ROGER A MUIREBE RIDES AGAIN

I’d love to know what happened in the rest of the world and how I compared I love it when I occasionally peek over the big map and there's a massive, unified empire in another part of the world I've never interacted with. A summary of that would be awesome.

PittTheElder posted:E: oh hey the Pope called a crusade for one county. That's 30 fervor well spent right there. The Crusades/GHWs really need a longer cooldown, like 20 years or something. The fervor hit is massive and certainly contributes to Catholicism's fervor frequently bottoming out. Oddly enough when I had my own pagan faith as the dominant world religion it seemed like that while fervor was awful, heresy outbreaks were fairly rare and almost always handled by me simply going to whoever was holding territory that converted and demanding conversion back. Usually only the heretical leaders would not accept, but if you could get a hook on them that was that. Frankly I think I would've liked more frequent outbreaks of heresy, just for the fervor boost it gives.

I want to know how I couldn't marry my heir to the 2nd daughter of my neighboring duke, but my landless brother (the third son) got his kids married to the heirs of the King of England and the Basileus. I only found out when my nephew was put in prison. Is there a rewind?

Trevor Hale posted:Thinking about it more, I would like something along the lines of Civ’s endgame screen for CK. Like, over the time I played, who was the strongest dynasty? How much land did they have? Who was the wealthiest family? Who won the lost land? Who lost the most? How did my dynasty stack up against the rest of the world in the same time. Additionally, I'd love to have a "end game" feature where you can just decide to end your current game now and get the same screen as if it were 1453. As well as have it on game overs as well. I'd also like the ability to be able to relinquish Ironman mode so I can gently caress around and switch characters, achievements be damned. Especially once I get bored of a save - at least in non-Ironman, you can do that whenever.

I know I could sit there with the title history, but I'd love to see like a timelapse of whether they started with a country or two, or maybe they inherited a duchy/kingdom size on succession. You see things like that a lot if Harald Hardrada wins and conquers England for Norway.

I think Tyranny decays way, WAY too fast. At the moment, there's no reason not to take frequent hits of Tyranny to accomplish your goals and limit border gore when it a) drops so fast and b) usually ends up tied to getting high Dread, which negates your vassal's negative opinion

There are a ton of balance issues in the game that need some serious patching, but the core game is good, even if the UI is absolutely terrible.

I feel like a good balancing factor for high dread would be that people that are afraid of you would be more willing to join plots against you, so essentially dread becomes a choice between people openly joining factions against you, which is more dangerous but you at least know who your enemies are, or preventing open revolts but always having to keep an eye out for knives in your back.

One thing they need to do to dread is splitting it external and internal levels. Its a bit silly that right now a ruler can terrify his vassals into submission by executing a whole bunch of foreign heathens.

scaterry posted:Is it me or are the dynasty legacies really weak. Why would I spent decades saving up to take lame options like +3 same faith opinion? Please sell me on any of the legacies that aren’t on the blood tree. You're right about the legacies. I like them as a system but way too many of them suck. Why am I paying 3k renown for 10% lifestyle experience? It takes 3k renown total to get basically permanent genius bred into your heirs. Graceful Aging (+Octogenarians) is pretty good but the 3k and 4k ones are basically a tax. Less complications during pregnancies would be useful...if more than like 1 in 20 women died in childbirth. I don't really care how good the martial legacy MAA units are since by the time you could max out a tree you're done with the playthrough or at least so overpowered they don't matter. The Intrigue one seems useless as well since I never get murdered and could just be a pain in the rear end if you need to stab a member of your dynasty.

Part of the issues with the Legacy system is that Bloodlines is so good that it makes the entire system seem lopsided. Any bonus is going to seem weak compared to the ease at which you can get guaranteed Geniuses after a couple of generations of mildly select marriages.

I think dread gain from executions should be tied to the victim's rank and dynasty renown. If my liege is willing to execute a Karling Duke, thinks Count McBumblefuck of the Strathcoyne McBumblefucks, imagine what he'll do to me if I piss him off. It'd also be cool if dread was individualised for each character, so executing a high-rank, high-renown character scares low-rank, low-renown characters more, and vice versa. Except now I'm thinking of the cost to figure out exactly how terrified every character is of every other, so that's probably not going to happen.

Sure, but 3k renown for 10% lifestyle experience? It's embarrassing even if you pick the same lifestyle for all your rulers. Getting +30 marriage acceptance from the first glory legacy is stronger than many of the other abilities and even that is pretty niche. If they nerfed bloodline hard there would barely be anything worth taking.

I normally quit when I have a really frustrating loss, and today I lost the Deccan empire to a bullshit pretender when I was just on the cusp of meeting the requirements for Chakravarti. But instead of peacing out right away I just spent the next ten years or so systematically assassinating each new emperor out of pure vindictiveness. My kingdom was crumbling underneath me. My brother (and fellow vassal king) kept begging me for help. All my allies kept calling me to war, tanking my fame. Nothing mattered except eradicating the line of the man who stole my throne. And it really helped that each new emperor kept appointing me spymaster despite multiple members of his/her close family being brutally murdered on my watch. Felt good man.

I am literally going to convert away from Catholicism because the AI is so bad at Crusades, heh. Debating on whether to go with Temporal Head, so I can try and lead them myself - or, since I intend to reform the Roman Empire and will not really try to convert outside my realm, I suppose a Crusade isnt really needed. Mind, I have to wait for the current Crusade to finish. But its been going on 40 years now... Im sure it has to end soon!

I gotta say it’s really annoying to be crusaded. Even if I’m going to win, it takes forever to get the war score up to where I can demand surrender. And it’s super expensive to keep armies raised that long.

It is monumentally maddening to be called into a war every several seconds by allies who clearly outnumber their opponent. Put down your own loving peasant uprising, or conquer your own lovely county. Saying "no" is too big of a hit now (it was too little) but saying yes and not showing up is worse if they call you out on it. I cannot keep my armies at war for 20 years straight with my current economy, especially when zero of them are my own loving war. I have my own wars that I want to wage! I only have 3 allies, this should not be happening. Byzantine Empire alone called me into 5 wars in 5 years, mostly offensive.

The game could use more prestige sinks for non-tribal rulers. If you hit Exalted Among Men you're probably sitting on several thousand prestige with nothing to spend it on besides offensive wars, which is why the AI keeps spamming calls to arms. Maybe recruiting specific characters to your court could be a prestige interaction instead of nearly impossible? There's a lot of ways (dlc) Paradox could go.

They also shouldn't be able to call you if they outnumber their opponent by 1.5x or whatever, and they ALSO should not be able to call you for loving peasant revolts. Fix your own drat peasants, if you're in a situation where you can't handle peasants with your MAA alone you've done some really lovely stuff and deserve whatever you get.
