DJ_Mindboggler posted:Yeah, it looks like the new traditions are culture gated like the Norse ones (though I have to imagine Metropolitan will be changed/made available to Merchant Republics, whenever we get those again). My next game will be trying to get Holidaying in Iberia, will see if I can get a Norse/Iberian hybrid with every tradition set in the game. The wiki says the head of dynasty needs to be involved in the struggle, does that mean he has to have his capital in the struggle region, and to belong to a culture and faith involved in the struggle? That would be really restrictive. Or is having your capital in Iberia enough?

Looking at the tooltip for Struggle involvement, there's criteria for location of capital, culture, and religion. 1/3 is uninvolved, 2/3 is interloper, you need all 3 to be involved. I finally got End of an Era yesterday waiting for the "Iberian Foothold" decision to become available. 80% of the peninsula had de jure drifted into my empire at that point, and I personally held the remaining Kingdom titles, I think it's currently bugged. Also, more Struggle zones ASAP please Paradox, the mechanics are really fun and add a ton of regional character. I'm sure something big for the Levant/Anatolia will come in a later Crusade-focused expansion, but it would be nice to see India get some more love. And maybe, in 3-5 years, a Struggle for the Mandate of Heaven... DJ_Mindboggler fucked around with this message at 22:56 on Jun 4, 2022 |

It is really annoying that Roma keeps generating new hybrid cultures that I have to then convert back to Roman even though I have held this county for centuries and control everything in it but a single barony myself. edit: Also I am constantly puzzled by the decisions the AI makes. My vassals keep changing culture from Roman which is nearly done with Late Medieval innovations, to their local culture like Norse that's still stuck back in Early Medieval.

Access to those new dynasty legacy perks goes away when the struggle ends, which I find silly.

How do you get Roman culture in the first place in CK3? I haven't seen a decision to revive it after forming Rome like in CK2. SlothBear posted:Access to those new dynasty legacy perks goes away when the struggle ends, which I find silly. You keep access if you dip into them before the Struggle ends (same with Norse exclusive ones if you remove Norse heritage in a hybridization). It's really silly because these perks feel less "regional" than, say, unlocking the decision to send your son to the Varangian Guard

Yeah I could at least buy “we’re no longer Vikings we don’t do that anymore” but I can’t make “well now that the struggle is over family and cities don’t matter make sense.” Hell neither should have been tied to the struggle in the first place.

Re: Traditions, I understand the desire not to paralyze the player with choice, but there should be at least 1 or two more available to non-DLC nations, unless the endgame is 5 years later every culture having 2 DLC-exclusive tradition sets.

God Innovations feels so broken. I have everything possible for my era, but I need to wait 30 years to unlock the next one. I guess my 50 intelligence guy is just going to sit there doing nothing. I get it’s probably so the player doesn’t completely run away from the AI, but it’s dumb. Also, one thing I’ve learned from playing in India is War Elephants are supreme. You have access to them even in the 9th century, and are more powerful than anything else. They cost a ton, but if you have Lord of the Elephants, it really knocks that cost down. Literally stomping my way through Asia.

I can't tell if playing African characters in this is worth it or not. It certainly doesn't have the "All the Institutions spawn in Europe and won't make it down to you" problem of EUIV, and neither does it have them "Hey we put in bugged rain events that make it nearly unplayable" problem like CK2.

Looking at Coterie, is that final perk worth it at all if it isn't your first set of Legacies? You'd spend the equivalent of dozens of disinherits to be able to do it for tyranny/prestige.

But yea it's not much different than being anywhere else on the map.

You need an involved religion too. I'm also currently doing Haesteinn->Andalusia, and I didn't become involved until I converted to Muwalladi. Norse vs. Iberian heritage doesn't matter, I think you just need most/all of your culture's provinces to be in Iberia, which your hybrid should have. Unrelatedly, I'm with the people saying dissolution wars might need another pass. Andalusia and "Arabia's" historical dissolutions aren't a bad match, but Byzantium and the HRE keep getting exploded within a century. I want my boss fights lol.

This guy's Haersteinn remains an interloper all through. You can end the struggle as an interloper, but you can't take the dynasty legacy unless you're involved. To be involved, both your religion and your culture must either be one of the historically involved religions/cultures, or have at least 80% of all it's counties in Iberia. Hybridizing with an Iberian culture while all your holdings are in the struggle region will make your new culture fulfill that requirement automatically, but reforming religion is another matter.

Blimpkin posted:This is true: Ah, I didn't watch the video to the end. But it reinforces my point, that character created an Andalusion/Norse hybrid culture, and also conquered just three Norse holy sites outside of Iberia to reform into a new religion, which existed to over 80% in Iberia, thus becoming involved.

I get a claim on a duchy, go to war with the current Duke and win. He’s now my vassal and we have a truce. I ask him to convert, he refuses. I attempt to imprison him, he rebels. I crush the rebellion and arrest him. I now cannot revoke his titles because we have a truce. This seems borked? My dude rose up, that should invalidate the truce no?
