I feel if you go that hard into plague resistance (including duchy buildings, artifacts, and a culture tradition) you probably should be pretty impervious to plagues under normal settings.

Am I missing something about waging war? I joined an ally, but all her armies did was stand around where they'd rallied. I wasn't strong enough to take on the enemy by myself, so I just had to wait until we lost. I called my allies to help me conquer Hungary, same thing. They follow me all the way over there, split into three groups, then stand around with their thumbs up their asses while I attempt the siege all by myself. I get a pissy message from one of my allies complaining that I'm not helping him with his war, because my soldiers are stuck banging their heads against a city wall for eighteen months. Is this a bug? Am I an idiot who missed some option to control all armies under my banner? I can see armies all over the map fighting each other so it's clearly possible, apparently just not when I'm around.

Sometimes I feel like the AI is a calculating bastard promising to help me but actually standing by to weaken me because it only entered the alliance to gain protection from me. But it's probably just stupid.

At the other hand, the AI dumbness means most times you can win wars against armies much bigger than yours So it kinda evens out: the AI wont help you effectively when they are your ally but also wont help themselves effectively when they are the enemy

Yea the computer players move their armies quite intelligently right up until supply becomes an issue, then it's like coaxing uncooperative cats. So once everyone starts reaching supply caps, hopefully you'll have made a large stack of MAA and uberknights and can autowin vs the world rather than try to engage with that system. Allies can be used to mop up the small rebellions that arise when you're away.

Which accolades do folks prefer? Besieger (more siege so you can run just two stacks) Horse Archer (or whatever your prime MaA) -- note for xbow you can stack both Crossbows and Archers House Paragon (Renown, Safer House Members, Hastiluder on Kids) Mentor (Extra 2 knights, Train Commanders can give Hastiluder XP, Prowess on Kids) Blademaster (+80% Knight Effectiveness) Manipulator (+30% scheme Power and +50% KE (at max Dread)) Valiant (+30% Army Damage? Seems underwhelming) Not sure how good the House Paragon + Mentor combo is

Fired up a Norse game explicitly to do an adventure into Iberia and see what happens. First thing's first, I forgot that it auto-feudalizes you without warning, and of course now all my new vassals have -20 Unreformed penalties to me... when they're following the same unreformed religion. FFS, that's still in there and gently caress you if you think that's working as intended, it's just laziness that it never got fixed. The exciting new thing was getting about a dozen dings to legitimacy due to all the titles I lost when the adventure concluded. Sigh. I put it on hold and will decide if it's worth coming back to.

FFS, that's still in there and gently caress you if you think that's working as intended, it's just laziness that it never got fixed. The Unreformed thing seems okay to me, it's saying unreformed faiths are supposed to have a harder time holding onto non-tribal lands (even when dealing with other people of their faith). It's one of the pressures to convert to a reformed faith. Varangian Adventures, however, do seem to be a problem at the moment. It's weird to me because a good deal of the Legendary Adventure code seems to be straight-copied from Varangian Adventures, but it doesn't seem to tank your legitimacy like that. Edit: Looking at the code, the reason seems to be that for Varangian Adventures, your old titles are "usurped" by their new holders, while in a Legendary Adventure, they are "granted". This is either an oversight or Varangian Adventurers are just supposed to be very illegitimate rulers (I could see that being something done for flavor reasons).

And yes the UI is really bad. At the moment I have to hit "Force" on a bunch of them because they're "only" 27 prowess and wouldn't qualify to be knights because I have too many 40 and 30 prowess knights  Manipulator is also particularly good -- Knight Effectiveness for Dread _and_ scheme power. Lately I've been learning / exploring having my ruler be intrigue (Schemer) and it is kind of insanely OP since Intrigue breaks the game.

But yeah, if you have that it becomes a lot easier to get what you're looking for. Yeah I've never played Intrigue this deeply before, and it's completely game-breaking. But very fun for the first time you really get the hang of it. And definitely fun to play a "actual power behind the throne" run where you are a vassal kingdom in any empire, and you quietly plot and put your family on the throne everywhere while staying small and non-descript yourself. I flirt with the idea of doing a "good guy vassal" -- start as some vassal somewhere, and only do Honorable and Just actions. I suspect it'd be very boring through since you have no money for feasts and hunts and tournaments and you have no means of acquiring power and eventually someone will revoke your title and you won't have any way of stopping them because your troops will be too small. Might be fun in any case, though. The game definitely rewards role-play playthroughs -- losing is fun, after all. -- That said, I did really enjoy Legacy of Persia (which I hadn't played until this month) and exploring how to go from 1 county to Flame of Persia -- took a couple of tries since you have to powergame because the intermezzo will usually resolve itself by 930 AD and you need to be powerful enough either delay or end it the way you want. I am looking forward to the Byz + Unlanded Adventurer expansion. Game remains a great story generator. alcaras fucked around with this message at 20:34 on Mar 20, 2024 |

Going back to crashing for a moment, I've been frustrated with frequent, random crashes for quite a while since the more recent updates to CK3. But I think it was related to a hardware issue, specifically, an ASUS motherboard with a 13th generation i9-13900KF. The problems (and solutions) I found here, and thus far it seems optimistic. Testing before tweaking the settings had almost instant and constant thermal throttling, now I stress test for 5 minutes with no thermal throttling. Also, I can run an observer game at speed 5 for several minutes without crashing. Not sure if anybody else was having similar issues, but drat, this may be a lifesaver for me.

The reformed religion pressure thing would feel less lovely if there were any other means of reforming a religion besides owning its holy sites. If I'm Norse and adventure out to somewhere nowhere near Scandinavia, I have no option but to convert. At least add some kind of religion hybridization thing like there is for culture, because that's kinda how religion worked in real life.

There was a mod I used a while ago (there are probably more options now) that got rid of the holy site requirement for reforming religions. Having it strictly based on having enough piety to make the changes, and enough vassal opinion that they also convert instead of just hating you for it, felt overpowered and I'd prefer to have a hybridization or other alternative method, but it was a hell of a lot less frustrating than "gotta own the holy sites" in games where I just wanted to mess around.

I am hoping that a future religious rework will include that (and restructure the code base so tenets can be modified/added by mods without making it incompatible with any other mod that does so). But religion is in a reasonably good spot compared to some other things so it probably won't be coming soon.

Do theocratic vassals not work with Clans? I swapped to a Theocratic religion as a Clan (Persian Emperor) and made a Caliph by giving my realm priest a county and then firing him (there are other ways, but this is the least painful). But his vassals are not theocrats but are instead clan, and he gives me very little cash:  He's not earning a lot either:  I've heard great things about theocratic vassals but have yet to figure out how to get them to work reliably Do I have to make him realm priest? (And toggle him off when I want to grant him titles?) He still has clan vassals though, but at least now I see some cash?

Weird, it's probably an islamic specific thing. Clan governments have "heritage_arabic heritage_iranian heritage_turkic" and "islam_religion" as preferred cultures/religions so that probably overrides the theocratic government trigger. You might have to wait for them to employ tax collectors before the income goes up

alcaras posted:Do theocratic vassals not work with Clans? IIRC the big income number that Heads of Faith get from their faith's priests is not taxable, even if they're your vassal. The only tax income you'll pull in is the tax you'd get from any other Theocratic vassal of that tier (based on your level of devotion). The reason theocratic realm priests are talked about as being generally preferable to lay clergy (Communion+you as HoF shenanigans aside) is because if a church holding is held by a regular baron-tier vassal they just pay you the standard 10% baron vassal tax. A realm priest can provide up to 50% tax, plus income from subordinate realm priests (25% from each one). They also provide the HoF (if one exists) with 15% of their tax income, but this amount is not taxable by you even if the HoF is your vassal. This is why vassalizing the Pope isn't nearly as strong for income in CK3 as it was in CK2. Magil Zeal fucked around with this message at 15:22 on Mar 22, 2024 |

I'm new to Crusader Kings 3, and I wanted to know what my options are given a particular warning I recieved.   I have a vassal, Earl Liber who has the Earldom of Galloway and he is also the Heir to the Kingdom of England. I'd like to maintain the Earldom of Galloway but my understanding is that if Earl Liber obtains the Kingdom of England then he will no longer be my vassal and also take the Earldom of Galloway away from me. What are my options here? I could revoke his Earldom of Galloway title, but that would accrue Tyranny right? I suppose I could murder Earl Liber but I'm not sure what that all would do.
