Tippis posted:Day [LARGENUM] of suggesting that they need to bring back the outliner and four-tier message filter from CK2. Signed, but make it 5-tier and make the 5th tier "game cannot be unpaused and must be manually unpaused after clearing", which was how events worked in EU2. It's been over a decade and I stick gently caress myself regularly when an event pops up and I reflexively hit pause, which unpauses the game. Which sometimes causes a second event a split second before I realise my error and hit pause again, which means I immediately unpause the game again. I also like keeping the game on speed 5 but sometimes I want the game to stay paused after clearing an event.

Letting you delay events for a few months is nice and lets them keep the system the same for SP and MP, but an option to force-pause in SP would be nice.

Since the update, I had my first succession. My heir was landed when I took over. I had 13 lifestyle points waiting for me. Is this a new thing? Do you not inherit an heir who goes down stupid paths?

The UI for it kind of sucks and the random "this knight is now less acclaimed" and having no way to view what happened to the old knight was bugging me. So I have gotten into the habit of handing my acclaimed knights a barony and then pinning them as characters to watch. That way when they die, I get a notice. If I get an alert that my acclaimed knight has a successor, then I glance at my pinned characters and see what's up. In RP mode, I'll revoke the barony from their kid if they've died, invite the widow to court and educate the child, and then give that barony back to the new knight.

I finally did a university visit, and oh man that’s pretty sweet. Three learning perks, and I was boosted to a level past Mastermind Philosopher. It was level 5, which gave me +10 learning, +3 intrigue, 50% to learning perks and 25% to intrigue perks. It’s expensive, but man that’s worth it.

With how piss easy it is to make gold now I'm wondering how they're going to make merchant republics interesting or desirable to play as. Back in CK2 playing as an MR could make you obscenely wealthy, to the point of being able to afford hiring all the mercenary companies on a permanent basis.

New patch is out. The new DLC is pretty lackluster. The University thing is really good but super expensive. Wardens thing seems broken, maybe it only works if your characters is a child? As a ward I only get the same events as always. There is the possibility to influence your ward to make it pick up traits you have but its on a timer and you don't get a notification when you can so you need to keep track of it yourself. Hostages are just super annoying, spamming you with massive amounts of notifications constantly. Why would I ever want some insane AI to hold one of my family members. They will come back as tortured husks. Also, if you are sterile and your wife gets pregnant your character should probably go like "hey wait a minute" instead of going "wohoo I'm going to become a father". Maybe they can fix that in a DLC.

Sterile doesn't make it impossible to have a kid, just low odds, and I think it can be offset by a lot of other things I believe. On the opposite side, I think they changed the Fecund trait. Before I thought it was just a boost to fertility, but now it adds 5 years for women's fertile ages. I didn't realize that and was really surprised when my wife had a kid at 48.

TjyvTompa posted:Hostages are just super annoying, spamming you with massive amounts of notifications constantly. Yeah I feel like at launch one of the big strengths of CK3 esp over other paradox games was how smooth and helpful the UI was and that's slowly been chipped away at. I often just ignore the notifications now since it's so rare that any of them actually matter. I'd love to see this get some attention, in addition to being able to set activity notifications for things like 'don't show this unless I can actually afford it.' And stop giving random hooks on me to everyone I visit on a tour or walk past at a wedding. Really just makes me want to not do those things.

Accolades I think are cool. All the new activities I think are cool, but as others have noticed, they are just kind of annoying to interact with.

Accolades are wonderful in concept and fun when you have a character who is about to wage a lot of war and cares a lot about them but I find the successor mechanic really annoying. I wish it was more like when the current holder dies you get a popup for choosing the successor rather than constantly having to micromanage notifications about it. I typically just ignore them until I'm starting a character who I know is going to fight a lot and then I go in and see how little they resemble what the role was supposed to do when I first created it. Also its annoying that you can't search for a worthy successor if you have one in your court even if their prowess is so low they'll never actually fight.

On the flip side it’s pretty easy to arrange marriages to bring people in with those traits. I’ve been purposely micromanaging my accolades to get a handle on this mechanic. My big problem at Empire level is that all my landed vassals have like 40+ prowess so I gotta go through and force my unlanded vassals to be knights but even that is giving me a nice glimpse into my court

Just ran into an annoying bug where a defunct grand wedding is stopping me from arranging a new one on a different character. I had promised a grand wedding but hadn’t actually arranged it yet and then died traveling back from a hunt. I had 18 months left on the timer at the time. So then my younger brother inherits but I’m unable to do a grand wedding because the tooltip says I can only have one active at a time. I wait a few years to see if I just need to run out the clock on the last one, but that doesn’t work either. When I try to open it from the activity screen it takes me to the event planning with my dead brother as the groom and a blank space for the bride. I’m considering just throwing this run since I’m still pretty early in, but it kind of sucks since it was going good up until now.

I've tried to search this online to no avail. Can I bring a personal champion or acclaimed knights to someone else's tournament? Do I have to force them somehow? My current character went to one that was only two counties away but no one came with her, even though i have both of the above plus a caravan master who is a knight. My character is infirm if that changes anything (don't see why it should)

You should be able to, I know I have without doing anything special. Maybe being infirm means nobody fights for your character either? I'm not sure.

I was still able to do feasts and stuff, it only seemed to affect grand weddings. I guess since my character wasn't actually in an activity when he died, he had just promised one. I ended up just going into my save file and deleting the "promised grand wedding" flag that was still attached to my current character and it seems to work fine now. They released another update yesterday with bug fixes but this was not one of them from what I saw.

Thanks for the help above. I have another, more complex question. I'm an African tribal government. Male confederate partition only. I have an empire title, 4 kingdom titles, 2 duchies, and 4 counties. I also have 4 kingdom-tier vassals. Kingdom 1 has my capital with Duchy 1 and 3 counties Kingdom 2 has my capital with Duchy 2 and 1 county (ducal capital) No other holdings I have 3 sons First son is to inherit Empire, Kingdom 1, and Duchy 1 and all counties within Second son is to inherit Kingdom 2 and Duchy 2 with its county. They are also going to inherit one other kingdom Third son is to inherit one kingdom only Why is the second son getting two kingdoms? In my head this almost puts him in a better position than my heir because he will be getting so much vassal tax.

First, empire titles are distributed. You only have one, so the eldest gets it. Then kingdoms are distributed, with the eldest being skipped in the first round since he has one (1) empire title. (So after kingdoms are given out, everyone should have the same amount of empires+kingdoms or be missing one.) Then IIRC repeat for duchies and so on. The full algorithm should be on the wiki.

Since there will be a total of 7 empire and kingdom titles, with three heirs the eldest will get three (the empire and two kingdoms, one of which will contain the capital de jure, unless you don't hold that kingdom), and the other two will get two kingdoms each. Make sure to keep it in your pants (or with people you can't get pregnant), though, a fourth son would mean the eldest would only get one kingdom with seven empire+kingdom titles. Not sure what they mean by "in order" though. I guess the order they're listed on your character screen? Not sure what determines that, order of acquisition maybe? Probably not worth trying to game who gets which kingdom.

I think they mean order that you obtained them? I actually went a bit rogue. Reformed the faith and one of the changes was gender equality so now everything will be split across my horde of children and grandchildren haha. Can't believe this character has lasted this long. Infirm at 20 and now approaching 65. He’s solidified and expanded the empire which now spans all of sub-Saharan Africa, reformed the faith, and could possibly adopt feudalism if he holds out just 12 more years. Doubt he’ll last that long, but his physician just cured his 40-year long melancholy, so he is healthier than ever. My kids are all shite so I did want to instigate heir-selection, but apparently that is off the table when you are tribal. My (now female) heir is a lustful and adulterous sadist who has 8 kills that we know about. This is very different to her forgiving and temperate father. Unfortunately, 4 of her 9 kids are also sadists. I love this game.

Incoming Chinchilla posted:If i revoke 2 kingdoms from my vassals (giving me 6 total), would each child get two kingdoms, and the first child the empire? Contrary to what Staltran said, I think the answer is actually no. Your primary heir would get the Empire title and 1 Kingdom, the next in line would get 3 kingdoms, and the third would get 2. To have your primary get 2 Kingdom titles plus the Empire you'd need 8 kingdoms I think. The higher level title is worth two next level ones essentially. But that's def the right wiki. Pooperscooper posted:How long would one take to learn how to play this game who has no experience with these type of grand strategy / 4X games? To what degree of competence? The game is very easy to try and pick up because the UI is solid, and you can mouse-over drat near everything. But to early understand all the systems is dozens or hundreds of hours, though figuring that all out is the fun part. PittTheElder fucked around with this message at 02:04 on Sep 6, 2023 |

The learning curve is like a continental shelf. You'll feel like you are totally confused for a few playthroughs and then suddenly you'll realize you understand everything and the world is your plaything. I say this as someone who never really played a paradox game before this one and just went in blind and derped around. As long as you're not worried about saying 'whoops I screwed this up' and either understanding why or playing it out to see if you can drag yourself out of it you'll be fine.

I had never played a CK game or any grand strategy game before, unless all the various Civ games somehow count. The tutorial was good and got me through the basic mechanics. I’d say I was doing pretty well after 10 hours or so, but it took me a really long time before I’d consider myself good at this game. The nice thing is that doing pretty well is still a lot of fun. You’ll make a ton of mistakes, but most of them won’t be crippling, and you’ll get better and better after each one.

Yeah the good news is it’s arguably more fun to be rather mid at this game, or play mechanically sub optimally if not. I think it’s about as easy to get into as you can expect from a game like this. Just come ask lots of questions here when you get frustrated, plenty of people around to help.
