Charlz Guybon posted:My lovely wife has had three miscarriages in a row. I don't see anything wrong with her health. Could there be a hidden modifier? Or is it really just random? Congratulations on the turn in your wife's luck, but FYI: miscarriages are basically random (less likely if the mother's health is good, if the mother has previously given birth, or with certain dynasty legacies or religious doctrines), and pre-determined by an event at the start of the pregnancy (basically all pregnancy outcomes are pre-determined at the start of the pregnancy, except whether the child is a boy or a girl and I guess trait inheritance - those resolve when the child character is created, so at birth).

Stacking health modifiers is WAY too "good" (though it brings its own sort of challenges when every character you play lives well into their 70s-80s) I have 2 books that give Small and Medium health boost respectively, the final Blood dynasty perk for +5 years lifespan, if I take the Whole of Body tree to the end I'd get another 2 medium health boosts + 1 small from the focus, and I'm working herculean into my bloodline, meaning that all things said and done my characters will basically only ever die of murder/battle if they're younger than 70

Dwesa posted:You can depose yourself in favor of your younger heir by revoking title from some vassal that is likely to reject it and then immediately surrendering when he declares war on you. This requires you to be Feudal. Won't work with Tribal because of the high authority requirements to revoke in the first place. Might be able to swing it with Imprison but as I recall that has the same issue.

Yes, it's like a lava lamp.

Deposing is usually done with failing imprisonment, not revoke title. Imprisonment has really lenient requirements (always for feudal, TA1 for tribal) so its always possible

If you are male and have absolute CA you can fix that by using designate heir to change to a younger one, but it wont work so well if you are female, since even your youngest children will be getting old as you cant have kids forever like when you are male But thats the only problem I can think with living a lot. Other than that, unless you have been a total rear end in a top hat our whole life, being a 80 years old ruler usually means everyone loves you and the realm is super stable. And if you get Graceful Aging (I always do) you will be a superman too Elias_Maluco fucked around with this message at 15:21 on Oct 6, 2022 |

My last character had strong blood, and was robust and made it all the way to 78. I only filled out like 2 perks in the Whole of Body tree, so I really wasn't getting much of a boost there. I'm about to call it quits on my final run, but I just took over as my 60 year old son, who already filled out whole of body and is herculean. May just play to see if I can get this guy to stick around to 100.

Yeah it's great, if you also have friends and get the "life reaffirmed" event and/or a cat that hunts rats and/or manage to get athletic, you can basically be of fine health until the very end! It's a bit too good I think. I wish we eventually get a Reaper's Due-like DLC with lots more chances for horrible untimely deaths because it feels like if I'm well liked / good at intrigue, my characters seem to live basically forever

[quote="Dwesa" post=""526725113"[/quote"]] New dev diary on future plans [/quote] quote:Warfare is not and never will be a primary focus for CK3, that said it’s not as character-driven as it could be, outside of commander advantage and the occasional great knight. There’s also a real problem with delivering content (usually in the form of events) during times of war, as the player more often than not gets interrupted by something appearing in the middle of the screen while maneuvering units. I’d eventually like for us to be able to deliver content in a way that doesn’t interrupt warfare, and use that system to highlight characters and heroic acts (Battle of Agincourt, anyone?). I’d also like to rework the major annoyances of warfare, such as supply. I really hope they scrap the entire system. I am so tired of playing whackamole chasing armies who always just dodge 1 day ahead of your stack.

Its probably because is so goddam effective Surely you can expand and get stronger through marriages and stuff but war is so much faster and easier And than if you dont wage war constantly until you are a huge unbeatable blob, you are always vulnerable to getting attacked by bigger neighbours and powerful vassals

Speaking of old rulers, Emperor SIEGEHELM THE BLOOD-FATHER just got the Know Thyself dead-within-a-year message. He's 98, which is a disappointment; I was really hoping to make it to 100.

I put Scandinavian election on the kingdom titles after rounding them all up as Harald Fairhair, got his youngest son elected at age 42 when Harald died, and he lived till 75 with drunkard the whole time.

I made it  Blood Eagle, Canute the Greater and Miklagarđaríki checked off. Game is in a pretty good spot if i wanted to keep going -- it's only 955, hybridised with Greek to grab Eastern Roman Legacy and to grab all their tech, and I own 3 holy sites so i can easily reform religion and really get the train going. Basically everywhere is open to further conquest, so I'd probably finish off Scandinavia and then dive into France and Iberia. Think it's time for not-Vikings for a bit though.

The thing with war in these games is that the focus of the games is the characters, but the characters are mostly of a class that literally existed to fight wars! So on one hand there will probably be a lot of wars and you need some kind of control of them, and before Victoria 3 doing that in Paradox games always looked like this. On the other hand, as the dev diary points out, this gets in the way of cool narratives happening in the war because pop-up events while you're moving stacks is annoying. I'm definitely interested in seeing how they resolve this (maybe I'll get to retire my battlefield duel mod, that's always fun).

I think the thing is that while the game isn't strictly about warfare, warfare is the most micro-intensive part of the game so you end up spending a lot of time focusing on it. Most of the other stuff in the game tends to be about either responding to random events (which you can't really do any sort of pre-planning for), or laying some sort of long term plan out and then waiting for it to pay off (which doesn't require a ton of ongoing action). In war, meanwhile, you have to manually order your stacks of troops around and you can't really afford to just leave it for a while to work itself out.

How does naval supply work? I sail to crusade with a massive army across the Mediterranean and it's fine. I sail with 2/3rds as many men half the distance and I lose half the men. Why?

You tick down all normal supply stuff as if you where over capacity at all times, so jumping into the water with a stack that's already half-starved is a bad idea. Add in naval speed and supply perks etc and you can have very different experiences if you're not paying attention.

Supply should always start at 100 when an army is raised. The peak value can be increased, there's one perk in the military lifestyles and one event modifier from Strategist I think.

You can also get the base raised to 150 supply with the Dextrous Fishermen Cultural tradition. But only if the commander is of a culture with that tradition.

Because the game assigns each of the stacks a commander from amongst your available vassals and courtiers, and each commander may or may not have properties that increases the cap. If it's 300, the commander has the Martial lifestyle perk, etc. Nordick fucked around with this message at 21:42 on Oct 7, 2022 |

Does the Royal Court DLC do anything if you are not a King or Emperor? Like if I'm a duke and have the DLC does my King ever summon me to his courtroom or anything like that?

The entire inventory system is Royal Court too, right? It didn't get folded into the base game? It's not as big a deal to counts and dukes, but you'll still have your personal stuff.
