You should take Romania from the pechenegs because holy gently caress romanian (vlach) rulers have good hats by default. Also some of them are still slavic in 1066 if you want a hard mode run. The character graphics and dressing up my dudes in culturally-appropriate medieval garb make up for a lot of CK3's early shortcomings.

I did it! Also: Sweden (what's left of it) also converted  Somehow there were two Khazarias for a while  and for some reason my dynasty now has ten billion cadet branches  ugliest borders imaginable    U  Guess I'll have to unite the Slavs or something until the Mongols show up I changed to Clan from Tribal. Which has the downside of me longer being a Tsar but a Grand Patriarch and also having troops raised for more than a couple of weeks bankrupts me really fast because I have all these big groups of expensive men at arms and now they cost money instead of prestige to maintain. I guess I need to build a bunch of tax increasing buildings in my own counties to balance it out. FreudianSlippers fucked around with this message at 17:18 on Apr 4, 2021 |

After playing some of Total War Three Kingdoms I do wish for a diplomacy allowing for more varied and personality-based diplomacy in CK3. Like when Cao Cao, being slightly more powerful than me, says sure I'll become your vassal if you grant me 4 territories and some money. Or Lui Bei being a really friendly dude asking to invite other people to our coalition all the time. CK3 kinda doesn't have moments like this for other rulers, you only get something similar for your vassals. You never look at your neighbour and think "this dude wants my military help but he'll ignore our alliance if I need help", or "this new ruler is zealous, he'll holywar me when fhe succession crisis is over" or anything like that.

Trip report: after fighting through some vicious vassal rebellions, I finally unified Iberia (and, for that matter, the Maghreb) under the enlightened rule of the Jimena, and completed the Reconquista to boot. I've got about 120 years left in the game, so I guess all I have to do now is max out my renown, discover every invention, strengthen my bloodline, found a Catholic nudist sex cult, and make it to the end of the game! Easy peasy! I'm finding I'm having trouble with the combat in this game compared to the building and learning and murdering. It just seems to take a whole lot of micromanagement to juggle supply limits and not bankrupting yourself and also chasing down your enemies one army at a time instead of letting them form a doomstack. Any recommendations on where I should start my next game to better learn how to crush my enemies? Also, Norse Lords: worth a purchase or no?

I don't know which decision I took, but there's no longer an option to form the Russian Empire and the de jure map only shows my clan. I also moved the capital to Constantinople. Funny enough, I got the Land of the Rus achievement in Constantinople under the clan empire. By the conditions on the wiki it seems like I should have been fine for 2nd choice. Aw well.

I've got Ultimogeniture, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to nominate a grandkid as heir? I know I can't skip a generation, but doing a trial-save-scumm and executing the dad and/or mum only results in less heir options, rather than the grandkids being presented in their parent's place. Help?

Doing a multiplayer game with a friend. I'm Sicily/Sardinia/Italy/Romagna he's Croatia. I just formed Italia and switched to feudal elective so we could take turns being emperor but looks like he can't vote despite being the only one in the realm beside me with a king level title. Is it just because he isn't de jure? Sidenote: The continent used to be dominated by a mega Lothrangia which owned almost all of the Karling kingdoms but then the old king died and the realm got fractured and now it's run by a malnourished chronically broke leper and central Europe looks like a quilt sewn by a blind drunk. My friend did a Kingdom invasion for Bavaria but while he was at it Lothrangia lost almost the entire area to independence revolts including the kingdom of Bavaria (which is now a decent bit north than actual geographical Bavaria). So he got less than a third of the land he declared for. Just a sprawl of tiny countries with a wizened husk of Lothrangia snaking it's way alongside it. Alas Burgundy is pretty strong and stable and is set to inherit when the leper king dies (soon). The Danelaw has three counties left, one in England, one in Scotland, and a capital in Slovenia. It's ruled by an albino Varangian who has less combat prowess than his 1 year old sister. FreudianSlippers fucked around with this message at 06:53 on Apr 6, 2021 |

If you have the heir designation law, you can only designate one of your immediate children as your heir.

Help? Which grandchild is it that's becoming your heir? Which child of yours was their parent? Ultimogeniture tries to pass it down to the youngest possible child in the tree. Doesn't matter who their parents were. If you're trying to pass it down to the child of your dead eldest child, you want primogeniture. If you're trying to pass it to anyone in between, you need elective. PittTheElder fucked around with this message at 08:35 on Apr 6, 2021 |

Thanks guys, this ended up being the issue after closer inspection. 40+ grandkids, but could only pick a single generation down. Still better than ck2 where I'd just have to kill them all!

I downloaded a mod which shows some extra info such a weight etc, and it disturbingly only show fertility up to 100%, implying that there's a cap. Have I misunderstood the mechanic? I've really been prioritizing that attribute for heirs/spouses.

I don't know why you'd prioritize it, it's not particularly useful, and there's very easy bonuses to pick up if you have a penalty to it for some reason. Is there a mod that teaches the AI to use MaA and not bankrupt themselves by raising all their levies for every war yet? Boy it would be nice to see some actually threatening Mongols

Yeah I kept getting so many kids I'd have trouble keeping track or even caring who was who without really trying. It's made me really appreciate all the goofy finger-on-the-scale things ck2 did with fertility to make it so that families stayed mostly on the smaller side, even if it was unrealistic.

Raskolnikov38 posted:yeah I can’t remember the last time I had sickly infant that actually died instead of recovering Going by health values, sickly infant is almost as bad as cancer, it's just that babies are born with a lot of health. I'm not sure I like the idea of significantly increased infant mortality (last thing I need is the family tree clogged up with tons of dead infants), but fertility is rather easy to get in CK3 compared to CK2.

Would at least help me sympathize with these morons for their nonsensical schemes. And then while they're at it make the AI prioritize consolidating their de jure lands for fucks sake.
