Torrannor posted:Details about the Byzantine Empire seem to be pretty rare, we also don't know if they still follow Imperial Elective, still start with viceroyalties, and I'm also not sure whether Orthodox still follows the Pentarchy or uses the autocephaly mechanic. Wasn't there a DD or a Q&A where they said the Byzantines have a simplified inheritance structure right now, and expanding that is going to come in a DLC where their goal is to get it much better than CK2 did?

Bettik posted:One limitation these videos all seem to have is no inheritance - it’s all the scope of a single character. Agreed, but since Paradox's ask (based on what I saw of the videos) seems to have been "play up the revamped character-building and personality decisions," it makes sense.

RattiRatto posted:I fell to the hype and pre-ordered it. No matter how it turns out, it's already clear that this game will be the perfect platform to develop great mods while having crazy incest with your cousin This. I never got good at CK2 at all, but I was perfectly happy to spend dozens of hours with mods and console commands. I have no reason to think CK3 isn't going to be excellent, but even if it turns out not to be, what's that going to look like? The game is badly balanced and too hard? Oh, no, I'll have to use console commands again...

Tenacious J posted:I really want to get hyped for this since I missed out on CK2. It looks like it has lots of things I love about games but I think my (broken) brain is having trouble getting into it. It’s a conceptual thing. I think I don’t know what the “goal” is when I play CK2 (and presumably CK3). I know it’s a sandbox and you can make your own goals, but let’s say my goal is to get a ton of land and power - it seems arbitrary to me to pick a small and poor family when I could just play as an emperor. Let's say you want a ton of land and power and you decide to play as an emperor: Emperors don't control the whole world. Do you want more land and power? Emperors have varying control over their subordinates. How are you going to put down rebellions? How are you going to prevent rebellions before they start? Emperors don't live forever (usually). Is your firstborn going to be as capable a leader? If so, will you be able to get more land and more power with them? If not, what are you going to do about it?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure you can just start as e.g. enatic and majority-homosexual, but I'm not sure if that will give the existing titles to the highest eligible woman and make everyone gay, or if it'll start things as normal but all the rulers will be naming their daughters as heirs and wondering why they're not showing interest in boys.

Zeron posted:I believe they purposefully nerfed this. It's supposed to be near impossible to invite someone without a hook. Since courtiers leave the court and become wanderers after a few years, you are supposed to just get a steady flow of people over time and not be able to pick and choose (without effort). This makes sense, but I'll miss it. It was probably overpowered, but I enjoyed getting to choose the fresh blood in the story.

Broken Cog posted:So, if you go digging in the tenets for religion reform, there is one called "Natural Primitivism". The stat effect of it isn't that interesting, just a bit less stress generated, but it also makes everyone following that religion go nude. Mine has it now!  This is an ironman game, so I was biting my nails waiting for that last bit of piety to come through (it took 5075 to get all those changes, and that's after the -50% from Learning > Theologian > Prophet). My entire council converted... except my marshal, who's making this all funnier by  holding his sword and glaring at the others.

The Cheshire Cat posted:It's pretty much this, but it can also be useful to get an alliance with one king to take on the other. Scotland + Ireland is strong enough to take on England, or ally with England and eat Scotland first. OK, cool. I had a couple short-lived leaders followed by a leader inept at martial (but great at piety!) so I've had Ireland for ages but have not expanded. Of course, now I'm unsure how to ally with them when I'm a whole new faith, Scotland's king is my old faith and England's queen is a Lollard.

Tetramin posted:I asked this once already, but is there a way to filter the character finder for people open to coming to your court? when you press C, there isn’t a filter and the only way to see their opininion is by right clicking on each individual person. Really stupid, why get rid of the icon in their portrait from 2 I asked, too, and no, there isn't. The reason seems to be that there's basically no situation in which someone will be open to coming to your court but won't already be on your radar: you generally need a hook to get them to show up unless they decide to do so on their own.

Megasabin posted:Has anyone in this thread experienced frequent crashing? I can't play for more than 10 minutes before I see my other monitors flicker and turn light gray and then the game crashes. Still happens even if I disable my other monitors and play on a single one. My system is easily powerful enough to play the game. I haven't had a single crash, but I have noticed that the game draws power like nobody's business: I had to rearrange what was on battery backup for my UPS, because otherwise a few minutes of playing CK3 would cause the UPS to alert for overdraw.

I don't know if this is just CPU abuse on CK3's part or what, but the left is my UPS under normal load, the right is a peak during CK3 (that is, the UPS started beeping its alarm and I checked the load; no other game causes that to happen).

Xerophyte posted:486W is quite a lot but not off the chart for a computer if you have some high-wattage Radeon or an X080 Ti. Do you know what your computer's PSU is rated for? For practical solutions to the problem: if vsync is off, change it to on so the GPU doesn't torch itself pointlessly running at 200 FPS. PSU is 750, GPU is a 1080 (not Ti), vsync is on. So nothing too wild.

Blorange posted:Check if you're running ultra low latency mode in the Nvidia control panel, you don't need it for CK3 and it'll run up the power usage like mad. Doesn't look like I'm running either. Stux posted:thats not really particularly out of line, assuming you have a cpu that matches up to the 1080 then it could easily peak up that high or higher turboing up before it settles back down, and theres def situations in the game which kick the cpu up into a pretty high load momentarily like raising your armies spread out over your realm etc This is probably it (CPU is a 9700K). It's not constant, roughly between one and five times a session, so it probably does correlate with poo poo Going Down, and I just haven't noticed because I'm too busy being startled by the UPS beeping.

Xerophyte posted:Anyhow, I don't think a peak of 486W at the socket is worrying. You're probably looking at around 400W after losses, which is well within spec for the PSU and about what your components might reasonably top out at. I can see not wanting to average that much over any length of time, but in this case it's probably just that the game is new and well-optimized so it can in fact momentarily tax your system. Yeah, I'm not worried, I'm just annoyed every time the alert happens, especially when it's like 10:30 PM. Thanks!

Here's an achievement I wasn't sure I'd ever get, let alone in my first real game. After a point, I was running out the clock to get the "last until 1453" achievement. So gold, prestige, etc. were all accumulating and not really being spent. Sweden and Denmark splintered somehow in the early 1400s, and I got a request to vassalize a petty queen, which was unexpected but, yeah, sure, I guess I am rich and famous. Then another. OK. Then two more. Then it snowballed; people everywhere, stretching across to the Byzantine/Seljuk border and down into Nubia, wanted me to be their emperor/empress, to the point that I eventually just had the dialog options to form seven new kingdoms. I don't know if this is a bug or not (I assume it is, tbh; that's a lot of people inexplicably eager for vassalization), but it was wild to watch. So I waited a few years so that everything would hopefully be intact through the end of the game, hired mercs, conquered two more kingdoms (I considered using Wales and England, but screw that, I actually fought for those, I wasn't going to do that unless I was almost out of time), then divvied the nine new kingdoms among my dynasty. That step was actually quite a pain in the rear end, and I was paranoid I was doing it wrong so I kept rechecking who was getting what, but after that it was just a matter of granting them all independence.

I feel silly asking this, but is there a magic button or a specific place in the county that you have to right-click for a siege to happen? It seems like I can't consistently make them work. In particular, I just marched my 2000-strong army all over Ruthenia, clicking on the province and the little circle where the settlement is, showing up and waiting, and no siege ever started, except when an allied army of 1200 went and sieged someplace I'd already been and when I went back I was allowed to join them.

It's not conveyed well, and I also dislike the effect, but I do get the impression that acquiring "drunkard" is supposed to imply "late-stage alcoholism" more than "everybody drinks but you drink extra": you're officially drinking so much that it's a primary obstacle interfering with your life.

Sydin posted:
I can only speak for myself, but reforming my religion to accept adultery and allow multiple spouses, or concubines, or even having Polyamory as a tenet, has meant I never see these events. So it's possible the event doesn't fire (and, as a result, parentages stay stable) if the game doesn't consider "exposing adultery" as a problem in your religion; I'm not sure what combination of religious tenets/doctrines is required, or if just moving adultery to "accepted" is enough.

As much as I like to embrace a certain level of craziness, I cannot remember the last time I had an heir who's parentage wasn't disputed, or a spouse that didn't cheat on me at some point. It's so ubiquitous that all the fun has been drained out of it.

If you can beat the pope, you have "won" the game because youre now unstoppable.

At least the way I play (starting as a tribal and building up) is so SO much loving harder now and you can lose a whole game because of a faction or something. I'm not exactly running wild in my own games, but the players/streamers I pay attention to are in agreement that the game is so easy it's almost a problem, because it's hard for them to find ways to make "just a game of CK3" interesting and they have to do either off-the-wall or clearly suboptimal stuff.

Veryslightlymad posted:Unlike everyone else here, I'll advise you to just inherit as the objectively worse character, because it's much more gratifying. I think I agree. The current ease of breeding in and maintaining the good genetic traits makes playing as an endless run of near-flawless geniuses feel samey or even unfun. You may well have a better time working around the heir's inadequacies while playing "you may be a better king, but we'll never know, because I'm the king," especially if you lean into the roleplaying.

The succession rules should be a guideline basically, and breaking them should piss off your children and vassals something fierce, and they should start firing claimant factions against you and your heir when he takes over. Yeah, I like this. Don't take it so far as to let us do primogeniture when we're in confederate partition or anything, but let us say "no, if the heir is getting two counties, it's going to be these two, and lovely second child is getting the worst one." Then on succession, give everyone a pressed claim on what they should have had, and a fresh "wrong liege" opinion malus to vassals.
