Eimi posted:Are matrilineal marriages still bugged? I had an equal realm and spent the entire evening setting it up, I had a female heir, who had a female heir of her own. After the end of my session and nearing the end of my first ruler's life I check out her kids. NONE of them set up matrilineal marriages for their own daughters so none of their heirs are the right dynasty. I have default game rules, so since they are part of an equal realm, they should defeat to matri marriages? Extremely frustrating to lose an evening to this. As far as I can tell it works for direct heirs, but only when they are the next in line. Kids of kids who aren't next in line to inherit at the time of the marriage decision ignore the matrilineal rules entirely from what I have seen, even if they are situated so that inevitably they will be in line to inherit once a few people die out, they get treated exactly the same as if they were out of the line of succession and go back to default marriage rules - i.e. if you're playing on a normal setting in a male dominated religion, no matrilineal marriages whatseover. You basically have to raise them yourself and set up the marriages manually to avoid this.

I hope that's something that Royal Court fixes: making it easier to keep my family at my court. I've lost too many games where my heir fucks off because their spouse unexpectedly inherited some rando county and then all my grandkids turn the wrong religion/culture and marry extremely unfavorably (and more vitally: out-of-dynasty) because they're back to a patriarchal religion.

And on that note, landed female rulers should not embrace heresies that cause all of their vassals to despise them for being a landed female ruler. Or at the very least they should greatly prefer doing the exact opposite.

One of the most annoying things with CK3 is that our enemies can pick up new alliances and call them far into a war. I guess I need to check how many kids or siblings they have that are unmarried before declaring, but it is hard to tell what kind of alliances they can get. One of the random things that irritate me with this game.

So this Saturday we did a Tales of Ireland mod test game in the Mapgoons Discord and it went really well. We didn't have any desync issues and only one player was lagging the game to speed 1 but that seems to be on his side since it went away when he left the game. We'll be doing a proper weekly game starting this Saturday if anyone is interested in checking it out with us. The mod itself is pretty interesting, each culture has a unique mechanic and I was playing Formorian which was mostly focused on warfare and making others tributaries. I didn't find this very interesting so I'll be messing around with the other cultures to find one with a mechanic I like for the next game.

HiroProtagonist posted:Also the vampire mod owns and if it just got an update it might be time to get back into this I've tried to play the vampire mod in the past, and while I like the concept, I stall out quickly because I'm an overpowered character who won't die of old age and I don't know what I'm supposed to be doing. Is there a "pick this character and try to do these things" kind of hint for easing into the mod?

They changed it so you can't bring in new allies immediately, and you should get a warning when the alliance happens so you can determine if you can take the new guys on or not.

Aha so the solution is to white peace out before they call them in? The prestige or piety will be lost but not that bad. Don't they consider their new powerful ally's troop count when checking if they want peace so that will make them more likely to reject after signing a new alliance? I will try that next time that happens instead of getting stomped and run over. In my last game the duke I declared on had no allies when I started the war, and picked up 3 new allies. Was a bit surprising. Hryme fucked around with this message at 21:50 on Nov 1, 2021 |

The best medicine is preparation IMO. Only fight wars where you have a reasonably large advantage and the possible ai allies will always be too late to even matter because you’ve crushed the enemy armies already.

This looks like a really fun system and will give a lot to do and help the game feel like more of an rpg. My main concern is that this might just be another system that a human player can understand and exploit easily while the AI cannot which will just widen the gap between human and AI players. But we shall see! Now I'm impatient again.

It looks like you can only outright buy low-tier artifacts, so I don't think the player will be able to get away too fast. By the time you have a bunch of overpowered artifacts giving you a big edge over the AI, you also have the big realm, properly-built-dynasty etc. already snowballing you.

The dueling over artifacts is interesting, wonder what exactly the criteria are for having a claim to do that. Would finally be something that actually makes a ruler's prowess meaningful for non Norse.

Is there a "pick this character and try to do these things" kind of hint for easing into the mod? idk if i was playing it right either, but it made sense from more than one perspective to me just to play it like a very long term chess game thing. and i think it does rely heavily on knowing the lore insofar as "what should I be doing" because it's pretty self guided, at least the last time i played it. some of the major figures have storylines built in as event chains but that was pretty bare bones from my recollection, thats probably a major substantive part of the update. it did send me down a WoD wiki rabbit hole though, which i greatly enjoyed.

From the thread: When a character dies, their heir gets their items, but the heir's siblings get Claims to the item If an item is taken from you (such as after a Siege), you get a Claim to take it back If you hold an item long enough, your House gets a Claim on it, and anyone in the House could try to take it back from someone not in the House Claims can let you duel for an artifact, but you can also go to war to reclaim them

Can you reject such a duel, I wonder? If I am weak of body, but still the drat king, I should be able to tell the pretenders "no, you fool, I am King".

Yeah, or at least have a technology to research called 'judicial championship' and bob's your uncle. It's probably still going to be quite shameful for norse heathens to reject it, but with the duel system there are a lot of extra options you can get out of traits, or even just throw gold in their eyes or snuck-in knives to the gut

Yes, it's like a lava lamp.

One of the screenshots from the dev diary showed that Diplomatic Courts get a bonus to diplovassalize acceptance chance that's scaled by their Grandeur, so that should make it a lot more viable if the numbers are right (assuming that it stays in rather than Paradox getting nervous about how easy it is and nerfing it before release). If maintaining high grandeur is pricey enough then I would imagine they can make the bonus relevant, and the game could use more things that actually cost gold lategame besides armies and buildings.

PittTheElder posted:Diplo vassalization is in now? Though the AI is quite hesitant to accept. yeah, I shoulda clarified. I meant the return of diplo-vassalization as a viable strat. Currently it's only really feasible in India, or if you start as exactly Bjorn Ironside. Btw, some really interesting dev responses-- here are all the diplo court benefits!  It looks like each level provides one benefit, except for level 7, 9 which provide three benefits. Level 1, 4, 7, 10 are specific to court type-- the rest appear to be generic. I do think the later levels could stand to be much, much stronger, but I'd have to play to find out. There's also a picture of exceeding court grandeur expectations as well--

The best time to play Paradox games is right before a major expansion when it is most stable. The worst time is right after the expansion, even if you don't get it the base game normally ends up with a ton of new bugs.
