Does the game with anything that can be reasonably considered a campaign at all, or is it all entirely sandboxy? If you didint enjoy CK2, theres a 0% chance you will like 3

Finally started playing this. CK2 is my favorite game ever and I got thousands of hours on it, so I can say Im a CK veteran So far Im loving it: its gorgeous, the new map system, with changing the map mode automatically depending on zoom, is amazingly well thought; the new hooks and intrigue system are a great improvement of what we had on CK2; I loved the new dinasty mechanics and how the game is more focused on that than before At the same time, I missing some stuff from CK2. Like that screen we had with a tree with all vassals and their strength; the ledgers; the option to link an army to an allied army; the conclave council mechanics; the detailed laws instead of "crown authority". There game picks up where CK2 were on most stuff, but it also seems to have rolled back many details and mechanics. And the interface is kinda bad, I can see it got a long way to go Also, what happened to the regencies? My liege and several neightbours are children but they dont seem to have a regent

I think it's pretty safe to assume that it along with law mechanics and the role of the council will be revisited in a future expansion. Also they added the ability to attach armies in the latest major patch, it's the button that looks like a chain. Thanks, I didint noticed it edit: I find amazing that CK3 runs faster and smoother in my PC than CK2 ran Elias_Maluco fucked around with this message at 11:38 on Jan 5, 2021 |

If I have some succession law that requires High Crown Authority set, am I going to lose it if I lower crown authority? I want to get rid of partition but I want my vassals to be able to wage wars and whatnot. I hate to be back on "crown authority" I also hate how innovations are locked behind arbitrary dates, apparently just to lock us out of the good succession laws for most of the game time. Its dumb and goes against the dynamic history nature of the game Im loving the game and in mostly everything it is a great improvment over CK2, but there a few areas where it is a step back from it

When is the first expansion coming out? Are they doing big expansions like for example Civ (or like what they did in the past) or small DCLs, like in CK2/Eu4? edit: for someone who played countless hours of CK2 and had all DLCs, CK3 is being a bit of a mixed bag: the base game is amazing and a great improvement over CK2; specially character development and the whole intrigue/hook system is so superior I cant ever go back to CK2. At the same time, there are mechanics where CK3 is a step back from CK2 (like crown authority instead of the individual laws, the conclave council, no regencies etc) and a lot of stuff lacking on interface, map modes, ledgers, etc; and I keep missing those stuff a lot edit 2: vvvv this is good Elias_Maluco fucked around with this message at 20:18 on Jan 11, 2021 |

Is there any guide on cadets and stuff? Im still clueless on that So much that something happened yesterday on my current game that I dont know if its a bug or just something that happens:  House Caldeira is a dynasty I created in this game, since I used the custom ruler designer. With time, a bunch of cadet houses were created from it, which is pretty cool. But, all of a sudden one of them, Mondoñedo, is being listed like "Founding House", when the founding house, as I understand, would be Caldeira branch, which is now listed as a cadet branch. Mondoñedo is a very small and recent branch, as you can see on the print, with nobody important on it. Caldeira is still the branch Im in (Im the empress) I have no idea what happened here. I had changed the name of my house some time ago, I wonder if that caused the game to freak like that? I changed back later, but still Mondonẽdo is listed as founder Or this has some explanation?

PittTheElder posted:Yeah the counter efficiency is scaled by relative numbers. Yeah, my impression is that the AI does not makes full use of them During my whole game, while having all the MaA I could hire, I always had more armies than anyone my size, and usually more than than some bigger nations By the way, is there any good MaA guides? About composition and stuff Also, is there really no way of selecting which part of your levies/MaA you want to raise? I like how convenient the "raise all" button is, but as your armies get bigger, you wont be using them all every time. Right now in my game I own a huge empire so 75K troops, but for most wars I dont need much more than 10K. And 75K raised will put me at -150G income, so is very unsustainable anyway So every time Ill do: raise all at some rally point; merge all; select what I want (usually all the MaA and knights and 1 or 2 levies), dismiss the rest. Is very annoying

Ill try that And drat, I love this game. Yesterday out of nowhere I noticed the Empress of HRE, her husband and some of her sons were.. naked. First I thought it was a bug, but them I realized they were no longer catholics, but had converted to some heresy. And looking at it, I find it has "naturalism" or something. And that, besides being incredibly funny, also had a big impact in the game: it caused her to be hated by her vassals and so the HRE blob to finally break after a huge independence rebellion, after 250 years of stability This kind of stuff is why I love CK

"befriend" is a little overpowered inst it? Seems very easy to get a 100% chance of success or near with pretty much anyone. Than you can befriend all your vassals and do whatever you want And being on the first level of its skill tree makes it very easy to get too

Not sure is a great balance Is not like is hard to keep your vassals happy when you are big and rich even without it, but being able to so easily make all your powerful vassals friends makes it trivial I would bet thats getting nerfed soon

I'm guessing they just didn't put sanity checks on this to see whether or not the person would be likely to go on a murder spree. I had that one with my first ruler of my first Ck3 game Fucker killed all my male heirs, one by one. But it was ok cause it made my heir my grandaughter who happened to have a claim on the kingdom of France

Thats true. And is weird, in CK2 it looked a lot more competent Im my current game (also my first Ck3 game) Byz also remained stable for the whole game, but I was allied with them for most of it Than almost 1400 and an emperor raises that had claims on my empire title, thanks to all those wedding we had for generations. I thought I was up to a hard fight, as I had around 60K troops and them had around 80K It was actually ridiculous: they scattered all their army in my land while I went down on them with my united 60K army and destroyed their stacks, one by one. It was over very quick Maybe they never even raised all their troops, but Im not sure

The game is amazing, if you like CK2 you will enjoy. Have in mind that in some aspects (like governments, laws, regencies, the council), it is not still quite where CK2 + all DLC were. But the base game is a huge step forward in most aspects, and does incorporates a lot of CK2 DLC features, but now much better integrated The AI is kinda dumber, though About tutorials, lps and all: if you know how to play CK2, I dont think you will need it

I dont think it was OP or needed any nerf This is the kinda of stuff that dont make the game harder at all: that little duke our count that wont accept vassalization anymore from your huge rear end empire, he poses no danger, he will lose any war. Conquering it is no challenge, is just click work It was enough that you needed True Ruler to get anyone but dejures to accept anyway

Magil Zeal posted:Offer Vassalization was pretty key to the whole "conquer the world in less than half a centaury" strategy if I recall, because you could get your general opinion so high that just about anyone would accept your offer of vassalization once you were emperor. I mean if that doesn't bother you fair enough, and it doesn't really bother me either, but like the NK strategy it was something Paradox probably felt they needed to address. Thats not my experience, though. Even when I was the biggest empire in the world and had 100 relations with pretty much everyone, I could only get vassalizations from small dukes and counts of my religion, either de jure or, when not, if I had True Ruler. In any case, like SlothBear said, the kind of realm that you can conquer in 4 clicks. So thats what the vassalization saved you: a boring small war you were 100% sure you would win with no relevant losses Also, from a "role playing" point of view, it totally makes sense that a small realm would just accept vassalization against a huge empire it cant possibly beat in a war, its on their best interest. Heck, I, the player, will do that if I have a huge expanding neightbour I have no chance of resisting, and even when its religion is different than mine Elias_Maluco fucked around with this message at 17:57 on Mar 9, 2021 |

What bothers me about technology is being gated by specific dates and the good inheritances being available so late in the game. That sucks Apart from that, theres some stuff I miss from CK2 too: - the council - individual laws instead of CA - equipment & artifacts - secret societies Specially the first 2, it feels such a drawback compared to CK2 At the same time, everything else is much improved and the new stuff is all amazing. But I do miss those edit: also miss having control over what parts of your army you want to raise edit 2: also I didint play any non-chirstians non-feudals yet, Im sure CK3 is somewhat lacking at those too

megane posted:They should really have a whole succession interface where you can fiddle with the distribution of your titles. Making it unfair gives big penalties to the main heir and pisses everyone off, so you actually get civil wars and poo poo. Succession is core to the game, it shouldn’t be this clumsy automatic thing with zero interactivity and almost no repercussions. Yeah, that. Partition could be interesting with that and primo being so late would be less unberable Also is even worst when you start on the earlier date and have access to nothing but ultimogeniture so no partition problems but you are stuck with random 60 years old uncles inheriting only to die 5 years later for more than a century Elias_Maluco fucked around with this message at 17:52 on May 29, 2021 |

Is anyone else here playing the linux port? It was working fine in my first game (before the first DLC was released), but now in my second it started freezing at random, freezing in a way I have to force close it (the interface freezes completely, but the audio continues playing like notjing happened). And worst: it often happens when saving the game Sometimes I can play for hours without it happening, sometimes it happens every 15, 20 minutes. It is getting unplayable

The only way I found to win a crusade: 1- wait for everyone to raise their armies and sail to the target, then you go (but dont wait too long or they will attack without you) 2- they will all be gathered at some place, usually moving around aimlessly as the AI does; go where they are 3- they will start following you like a pack of dogs. move slowly to where the enemies stacks are Only works if you are the strongest guy on your side, it seems.

Check any weaker neightbour you might have and create claims on their land Also, if you got vassal counts on your main duchy, create claims on them too and steal their land for your desmene edit: also it might be easier, and I think is more fun, if you create your own character with great stats (martial is very important at the start; high martial means you are likely to be stronger than same sized realms near you) Elias_Maluco fucked around with this message at 19:32 on Jul 8, 2021 |
