One of the streamers said that Paradox had asked them to ham it up/roleplay a bit, so I guess a lot of them settled on "costumes" as a way to do that? Honestly I don't mind but I'm sure the people jonesing for hours upon hours of uncut gameplay aren't going to be happy until Monday when the streaming embargo drops. (or today's dev stream I guess?)

In terms of stat boosts from perks those are the only ones that don't have some kind of restraint on them (the ones based on Fame or Devotion are capped since those stats have max levels, the boost from councillors depends on their stats). A softcap on friends similar to the one for lovers (keeping too many stresses you out) is probably an answer here but honestly I'm not sure if this really urgently needs nerfing, depending on how strong stat effects even are (and whether their bonuses to stuff like events have broader ranges than they did in CK2). The family tree needs something cool and it's gonna take a lot of work to send it infinite like this. If nothing else dude's got to die eventually and having that many potential claimants in Byzantium (anywhere really but especially Byzantium) sounds like Fun.

The CK2 challenges will be retired tomorrow, apparently (well, September 2nd, but not sure if they'd set out a specific time). So if you'd rather speedrun CK2 challenges than dive into CK3 then you have a bit of time but otherwise, you get to wait for whenever PDS roll the cosmetics out for everyone.

So my new Archbishop seduced the Welsh princess I'd married off to my grandson, but I liked him and he liked me and he was really good at fabricating claims so I didn't want to roll the dice on whichever moron the Pope would appoint next, so I let him be - unfortunately, said grandson, while clever enough to realise he was being cucked by a bishop and angry enough to try and kill said bishop in revenge, wasn't good enough not to get caught. Fast forward a decade or two, grandson inherits the kingdom plus an unsalvageably angry Archbishop who then comes to me in an event with "incontrovertible evidence that our marriage is consanguineous" - so my options are to divorce the wife (who is still sleeping with the Archbishop) or owe the Archbishop (who again, hates the gently caress out of new-me) a favour for covering said evidence up. Ya know what, fair play, you're welcome to her. GOTY all years etc.

Arsenic Lupin posted:It's already been done (linked to earlier in the thread) https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2218178473 As someone who had insane amounts of modded music for CK2, the thing that the new system makes harder about music modding is mostly that there's limited control over when something plays - you either have a massive pool of "ambient" music that can be picked at any time or place and so would ideally be relatively unobtrusive, or you have ONE song per event cue, so you can't, say, add a selection of 10 Mad Epic songs to cue when you declare war or get into combat, you have to have that one specific one and either a mod has to replace it, or has to modify the events/CBs that call it (which is messy for compatibbility). I like the OST and I like the bones of the system but I'm hoping it gets work. (also bring back the horrifying death screams please and thank you, mass execution is weirdly boring in this one) quote:I wonder if the split is between people who had mastered the CK2 UI and people who never did? I couldn't play CK2, not for lack of trying, and can play CK3 after (gulp) three trips through the tutorial. There are things I can't figure out how to do that were visible parts of the old UI, but on the other hand the old UI had so drat much data that I couldn't figure out which parts were important. I had 3000 hours in CK2 and like to think I mastered the UI (on the other hand, there's a combat detail screen in the old game that I literally discovered three days ago soooo....). I think the new system is an upgrade but maybbe not as unambiguously as it felt on day 1. Doesn't help that the colour choices mean that stuff like the education button or the title history button doesn't stand out. Also the fine-grained notification and pause controls were really handy - like it would be great if we could somehow keep the tab-button Issues stuff but select some of them to get popups or some way to really grab hold of your attention.

Stokes posted:Is there a way to invite people other than Court Physician/Champions to your court? I get that luck of the draw is a thing and I can't expect everyone to be 15+ at the start, but I'd like a way for me to be able to pay for that option. The first thing I do every game I start is invite Champions to replace all the 8 and 9 and even lower Prowess champions. It makes a huge difference. I'm pretty sure you can still invite anyone, but most people not summoned by one of those decisions (or Invite Claimants) or brought to your court by marriage, or arriving at your court while already wandering and unattached, simply won't come due to a huge base reluctance penalty that it's tricky to overcome - it's a deliberate change from CK2 in order to make it harder to assemble super-courts, I gather. (it's probably still worth it for PDS to bring back the "will join court" filter on character search, but then again they should ALSO bring back save slots for filter patterns and game rules sets while they're at it)

You can offer your Welsh vassals Anglo-Saxon guardians for their heirs to speed up the process (make sure to check the convert culture option when you do), but yes, rulers do sometimes go native and adopt the local culture of their county even if it's changed by, say, their liege importing settlers to subvert it from underneath them.

yikes! posted:I do t understand how something like the extended outliner mod can prevent achievements. It’s so arbitrary. UI and text modding is a lot more capable and flexible than it used to be (and even in the last game localisation mods were able to expose a lot of hidden information) so assuming one accepts the need to gate achievements at all then I don't think it's arbitrary to gate them behind "no non-cosmetic mods". I can imagine some more involved way than "checksum on the relevant folders and block if any changes" to determine if a mod impacts the game mechanics without being so hardass about it but at that point it gets into  for a dev so I guess we all get used to blank achievement pages (or popping them with SAM/enabling modded achievements with Cheat Engine)

The Cheshire Cat posted:The key thing about CK is that none of these approaches are exclusive. You can pursue all of them and just see which one will pay off first. Also, be ready to think on your feet when the game throws wrinkles into your Grand Plans. In my Brittany->Celtic Britannia game I've managed to kick the Vikings off the island except for a few stray counties, and I'd betrothed my grandson to a Scottish princess so he would inherit a claim to Scotland, which at the time had a firm hold on the rest of Britain that I didn't own, so conquering them would let me form the Empire in one fell swoop. Twenty years later, I'm playing as my son, Scotland's fallen apart and had major duchies inherited away by nobles in Asturias and loving France, and to top things off I made the mistake of landing that grandson (now my heir) after one of my childless brothers got deposed by a revolt in Mercia, the duchy reverted to me, and I wanted to keep Mercia in family hands because it's loving huge and easier to keep the family in line. Then he decided he could conquer Scotland all on his own (see: Mercia, Swolest Duchy) and got himself killed in the process while all the while refusing to let me ally with him so I could intervene because of the huge penalty for the claims he has on me. At least his son was able to keep the war even though I can't find the claim to Scotland on his sheet. Maybe he'll let me save him from daddy's dumb decision, but then I have to figure out how to get Moray and Hwicce back. Lucky France has lost Aquitaine (first to Gavelkind, then Vikings started biting off pieces of it) and Asturias is losing ground to the Muslims so it might not be too hard to win but ugh, stupid King Frobert, I should have schemed to replace you sooner!

Toplowtech posted:Under partition you can't give titles the target does not stand to inherit. This is frequently said but not quite true, and misunderstanding it steers people away from a pretty easy way to handle partition succession. What you can't do is give your PRIMARY heir anything he wouldn't already be inheriting. You can give secondary heirs anything you want, the game will just recalculate afterwards and count what they already own against what they would get from you when you die. Here's an example from my game. I'm King and Duke of Brittany, and hold all the counties in Brittany personally. Only one kingdom, so that goes to my primary heir. Only one duchy, so that goes to my primary heir. Because of this, gavelkind starts splitting at the county level. But if the secondary heirs all already HAVE duchies, no matter what size they are, the game decides "we good" and leaves my counties alone (at least, any counties inside Brittany). I want to keep the capital duchy together, so since I've been reconquering the Isles, any time I seize or create a new duchy from my conquests and I have a son that isn't a duke already, I give it to him. This has worked for me under both Confederate and regular partition, as long as I only hold one title at my top level (ie, one kingdom as a king, and not having enough land in another kingdom to create it). Another thing that has worked for me is to add an elective law to my capital duchy. Since I'm holding all its provinces personally, I'm the only voter and it reliably goes to whichever son I want, along with all its counties. I'm not entirely sure how this will interact with partition on another held duchy yet, or trying to hold two elective duchies as crown lands, but we'll see.

Orcs and Ostriches posted:Apparently it only works for independent rulers. If a king's vassal conquers some poo poo at the other side of the map, it won't break apart. This doesn't seem true, because the French exclave in Gloucester in my game (owned by the Duke of Flanders when he inherited it from Scotland) went independent via the exclave rule (or at least it looked like the exclave rule, they all went independent at once and there wasn't a war) after I landlocked it by conquering the two French coastal counties in York. I think the main thing is that ANY naval path is enough for an exclave to stay attached on all settings, no matter how long, and also there's no range limit on Vikings using the conquest CB on coastal provinces (specifically Vikings, anyone else can only use it on land or sea neighbours).

BigRoman posted:Has anyone noticed the Pope calling constant crusades? My Pope is calling a crusade like, every 6 years, even though catholic fervor hovers around 35%. Don't get me wrong, with a Karling start, its an easy way to get relatives on foreign thrones, but it seems a little excessive. I think you should need a minimum fervor of like 75% to call a crusade. They should make crusades more of an act of desperation by an embattled religion rather than a giant land grab. I was looking at the GHW CBs for an unrelated tweak I was planning, and noticed that the crusade cooldown was reduced from 30 years in CK2 to 5 years, so while this isn't a bug it seems like a terrible decision.
