RIP Duke Haesteinn of Tuscany. You took as your third wife the young court physician who saved your life and managed to have two more sons at the ripe old age of 103, throwing a massive spanner in my otherwise straightforward looking succession. But you lived a great life and I can’t blame you for it.

Any outstanding issues with the game right now? A good friend bought me Northern Lords and I'm going to do tall Sicily with Haesteinn and just become the nightmare of the Mediterranean.

re notetaking: I use the "rename anyone" mod and give people nicknames so I can keep better track of them and whether I like them or not not really for optimal play / long-term planning but fun nonetheless

But you lived a great life and I can’t blame you for it. How did you take Tuscany specifically as Haesteinn? My wife and I started a game with him last night and were considering doing that because I'd seen several posts about it, but Tuscany is very much not independent in the 867 start, so we would have had to take all of Italy. Which probably would have been doable, but still - several people have mentioned taking Tuscany specifically with him. Is there a mechanic here that I'm missing? We ended up Varangian Adventuring Bohemia instead because it's a pretty nice duchy. Unrelated: I really wish you could pick who gets what in inheritance rather than it being effectively completely random.

I only had to conquer maybe like a fifth of Italy. The rest I got by continually smashing their army. Yours punches so hard with all the event troops and you start with enough money to hire plenty of mercs. I just hired a medium-cost band with lots of light cav, my veterans beat them on the field and then the horses rode them down. And that was with them allying I think West Francia.

Rephrase of my question: How was your title Jarl of Tuscany or whatever rather than King of Italy, since I'm fairly certain that you have to declare war against the kingdom-level title, and therefore take the whole kingdom? Or is that what you did and just kept Tuscany for yourself and called it Tuscany? That would clear up my confusion if that's all it was.

The Varangian Adventures target either a county or a duchy. Doesn’t have to be independent. You still have to beat the King of Italy, but your reward is whichever of his duchies/counties you chose when declaring. Also there’s a new mod that adds some more melting pots for Norse culture, including one for Tuscany, if you want to change into something else while retaining your fun Norse techs. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2431631297&searchtext= Anno fucked around with this message at 14:44 on Mar 24, 2021 |

I used to worry about this too before I realised that being Owned in CK3 is absolutely the way to some madcap fun. Gunning for a wild Intrigue play makes a lot of sense when your character is desperate, because what do they have to lose? Edgar Allen Ho posted:Being bad at CK is the best way to play.

This Rurikid game I've had a couple of my brothers challenge me to duels for my top level title (duels they were likely to win), only to back down when I accepted (because I wanted the challenge of rebuilding). Also feudalizing in this patch has really left me with mixed feelings. On one hand it's very good that Temple and City holdings get created now (but still silly that cities aren't on the map beforehand...), but on the other hand why on earth did they have to get plopped down on my precious Farmlands baronies. Really wish I could replace those.

Yeah a more capable AI and being able to play as unlanded so that losing your title isn't an instant game over would make this game truly spectacular.

I've never seen the AI offer concubines before, I guess they added it in the patch? She has 24 intrigue and likes me, so new spymaster it is. This is clearly not a trap.

That's how feudalizing has worked since I started playing in.... um.... December? December, I think. Anyway, I keep meaning to repeatedly reload a save and re-feudalize and see if it's always the same places; usually I only actually control one county, because that way I know my heir will get everything, so it'll be easy to tell if it's alphabetical or whatever. I would really like to be able to get to choose where the temples and cities go.

Oh yeah I know that change was a while ago, I just haven't played in ages. But yeah holding multiple Baronies in a county has it's ups and downs. But notably they can't ever be stripped away from you by partition, so a county with a bunch of farmland holdings (and their amazing buildings) lets you punch way above your weight even as a one county count.

I love the slight eugenics gameplay with the traits. I am sad I just now learned that two characters with the same trait is the way to ensure that said trait gets passed down / improved. is it common for the AI to be able to form the holy Roman empire from the earlier start date? Because in my current game East Franconia got taken over by Haesteinn and it's looking all sorts of goofy over there

I would imagine the actual decision to restore the HRE is probably too hard for the AI to do on its own with any regularity, but it doesn't seem completely impossible (just mostly).

God I wish you could merge some of your Norse techs into a culture group when taking the Adopt Local Customs decision. It feels to ridiculous to lose Longboats when you go native in Russia, and I don't want to have to genocide Finns to get them back

The flavour is fun but I wish the ai was a bit smarter. Is it really hard to have them calculate whether they will lose a battle or not? Smashing everyone around me with ease because the ai doesn’t understand men at arms are better than old McDonald with a pitchfork.
