Wait for a moment of weakness, or create some. Civil wars and succession battles are great times for an outside force to snipe a county or two.

I really enjoyed playing as a custom ruler in eastern India, the start that has Viraja in it's demesne.

Just south of that is Vengipura, the best county in the area because of the barony of Ellur. It's also a 2 duchy kingdom, which means any ruler with decent stewardship can hold the entirety of it themselves.

Also, if you're playing an eastern religion, make sure to wander east to Pegu, and grab the county of Dagon. It's a strong building in general, and as long as your dynasty holds the pagoda you receive a bonus 5% renown.

During the late roman republic there were some pretty famous gangs that formed to pursue political objectives in the city for their patrons. Is there any precedence for this in the medieval era?

I think it'd be cool after a certain level of development that empire titles have large gangs forming and you have to manage them or else powerful vassals can strong arm your other councilors into bad spots/extort land money.

Masturbations and Confucius were like that of a snake, in which a single sting can lead to blood, but every drop which can be left out of a man's body, is enough, and only can be purified by the sweat of his feet. And what a spectacle it was, when the Emperor of the East was about to bring forth three thousand slaves to perform his own will, and all of his servants, with their whole families, with every other community he might send up, took notice of this spectacle so very grievously as to take it upon themselves and, with great zeal and so full of passion, and so much malice, made themselves their master

:geno: Yes, it's like a lava lamp.

Is my memory right that if a couple de jure duchies or something break away from an Empire for whatever reason, there's no good way for a feudal liege to reincorporate them short of having personal claims or conquering it county by county?

I started a new 867 game, and although whoever was running East Francia managed to grab hold of Italy and West Francia, all of NW Germany split off, and so far there's no sign of them reconquering it, despite it being de jure land and them being the biggest dog around by a large margin.

There's a dejure duchy cb once the appropriate innovation's unlocked, which should allow them to reconquer fairly fast. If the AI knew how to offer vassalization they could easily reincorporate any feudal vassals but I'm guessing they don't.

During the early middle ages, chariot racing fan clubs in the ERE were part hooligan gangs, part political club, and even attempted to overthrow the Emperor at one point. I think they were mostly on the decline during CK3's time period, but it'd be cool to see something like that in game.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guelphs_and_Ghibellines#13th%E2%80%9314th_centuries often took the form of this and would imo be an excellent triggered event chain.

quote:

The Colosseum underwent several radical changes of use. By the late 6th century a small chapel had been built into the structure of the amphitheater, though this apparently did not confer any particular religious significance on the building as a whole. The arena was converted into a cemetery. The numerous vaulted spaces in the arcades under the seating were converted into housing and workshops, and are recorded as still being rented out as late as the 12th century. Around 1200 the Frangipani family took over the Colosseum and fortified it, apparently using it as a castle.


But yeah it would be nice if there were burgher-feudal lord tension perhaps with demands of changes to crown laws and maybe a special vassal type like free cities for the HRE.

Since all the CK2 unplayables are in the base game I hope eventually the "boring" catholic, orthodox, and muslim areas get flavour like this. In CK2 people like vikings were fun because they got tons more poo poo to do, but there's no reason you couldn't support an Italy DLC, a pre-norman Britain DLC for celts and anglo-saxons, a DLC for the french kingdom and normans, a DLC for the HRE (and a way for the 867 karling blobs to transition out of that setup), and a DLC for the Rus.

I think Iberia would be a great location for a flavour pack since they could flesh out the mechanics for both the Iberian Christians and Muslims.

I took Hasteinn and tramped over to India and settled down, keeping Norse culture and Asatru faith. Now its just past the year 1000 and I'd like to reform the faith, but I forgot that I need Holy Sites! There's no way I'm going to get back to Scandinavia for Asatru sites, so I think I'm just poo poo out of luck until another Asatru ruler does it on their own?

I have managed to marry a couple of my current ruler's incredible genius children to equally gifted Nepalese kids who just happen to practice Khyarwe Bon, and my current ruler is 58 and just a couple thousand Piety away from being able to convert to it. Maybe I could try to finagle that conversion, and then down the line recreate my own Eastern Asatru-like religion.

This game is going pretty great with faiths, tho. Khazaria is still going strong in the year 1000+, and it is fully and entirely Kabarist Judaism. There's also a thriving Kushite Duchy on the horn of Africa.

Does playing with Regional Heresies on "relaxed" make this more likely? I'm very much digging it.

Get a ruler down the prophet path, adopt a local religion and add some big footnotes to their religion to make it your own.

There’s a new Dev Diary today talking about their design goals and post-launch thoughts on the DLC. It’s an interesting read for anyone who’s into that kind of stuff. I’d love to see this happen more often just to get an idea of why X is the way it is or learn that Y clearly had different goals and they just couldn’t make it work, or whatever.

I've read somewhere that Khyarwé Bön is the only unreformed religion that can't be reformed because it already has a reformed version in-game, Gyur Bön.

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.

Unfortunately, the military AI is still atrocious. I think it's even worse than it ever was in CK2. It can't coordinate for poo poo, which means whoever has the larger stack often wins, as the defender is unable to coordinate their defense and gets their stacks too late to turn the tide of the battle, but early enough to get defeated along with the nearly slaughtered army. They often ignore their war targets – I've seen several crusades for Jerusalem when no crusader even set foot in Jerusalem, sieging Crete and some Umayyad holdings in Syria and Egypt.

This contributes to the issue of larger polities (and adventurers with event-spawned troops) being effectively invincible, as they have the largest stacks and the AI is powerless to do anything about them. It also means Catholicism inevitably trying suicide by Umayyads every several years unless someone intervenes and redirects it somewhere else.

The game has a fully functioning note-taking system, but for whatever reason Paradox never mentions it in the tutorial and it's inexplicably tied to the family tree UI.

All you have to do is take the seduction / intrigue skill trees. Whenever you need to take a note of something, sire a bastard and name them after the goal you mean to accomplish or important thing you want to remember. If you mark them as special interest you may even get periodic reminders! Once the goal is complete, murder them. :eng101:

The peace time AI seems to be really bad too. Is there a debug mode you can use to see what the hell they are trying to do at any particular moment?

Most of the time it seems like they're ether doing nothing, or distracted by some small ally's war.
