I’m gonna start with Ireland, but then I really want to try one of the places in Saharan Africa, now that there’s more space and more stuff going on there. I don’t know if they’ve said anything about trade routes so much as existing, but that webwork of passable terrain through the desert looks fun.

CK2's Iqta mechanics were always a big letdown, being essentially Feudalism But Green. Hopefully this will be a bit more interesting. Or they'll put some more structure into it in a DLC.

Demiurge4 posted:I think they basically constructed a pretty advanced character generator, kind of how like EVE online lets you mess around with your portrait for hours doing tiny little details and it's just used as an afterthought. There's lots of different zones on characters faces that can be completely randomized to get a lot of variety. I wonder how nuts the ruler designer is going to be. Spend 4 hours making microscopic adjustments to your duke's nasal flare angle and then watch him die five minutes into the game.

I think I'll put CK3 down for a while while they iron out some of the bugs and imbalance. I really like transitioning from tribalism, but it sounds like it's incredibly dumb and painful right now. Maybe I'll try the start as a Coptic Clan -> convert to Kushite -> reform dance to get some of the same flavor.

I feel like they could get Fervor working better pretty easily. Maybe something like this: 1) The change over time is based on stuff that "belongs" to your faith, but is held by other faiths. That means counties of your faith, holy sites, and maybe parts of the map that your faith views as its "homelands," like France/Germany/Italy for Catholics. The numbers are based on your faith's opinion of the faith that holds them (so "Muslims hold Jerusalem" gives way more Fervor to Catholics than "Orthodox people hold Jerusalem"). It's zero or even negative if you hold most of that stuff; it should be very hard for Catholicism to build up Fervor if they're crushing everyone as usual. However, tenets like Armed Pilgrimages should increase the effect of unowned Holy Sites. 2) Outside of that, you get Fervor whenever a county or a count-or-higher-tier character converts away from your faith. Higher tier characters give more. Maybe also when a member of your faith gets murdered by somebody from a different one or something. 3) Pious types can do something to generate Fervor (via decision or something). 4) Most effects should scale proportionally with the size of the religion. A sinful priest should matter way more to a tiny religion where he's basically the only religious authority than it does to Catholicism where he's one of hundreds. 5) Hitting 100% Fervor should have an immediate effect. For GHW religions, that's easy: they start a GHW. However, other religions should still get a big event, like spreading to nearby counties, or starting big revolts in counties held by other faiths, or just getting big buffs to their conversion resistance etc. It's silly that you hit 100% Fervor and then it just... stays there, doing nothing. This should have a cooldown, of course (I have no idea why they didn't give GHWs a cooldown). e: I mean, there's also a subtle, underlying problem, namely that Fervor is sort of two ideas conflated together: "our religion is under threat and he have to defend it" vs. "our religion is strong and righteous." MA was clearly the latter, and Fervor seems like it's supposed to be the former, but is actually an awkward mix. megane fucked around with this message at 05:10 on Sep 13, 2020 |

The reason to create a cadet branch is if some other branch of the family has hold of the House Head position (and thus gets hooks on everyone etc.).

Kalko posted:I want to try being a nice king who uses diplomacy to do stuff so I searched the world map a bit and found Brittany, and I've done a couple of sway schemes against my neighbours (who belong to France) but how do I get from 'he likes me' to 'he gave me his land?' Do I need to marry my people into his line of succession and wait for him to die or something? There are a couple of ways to get land peacefully. Marrying your kids into the target's line of succession (matrilineally, if it's your daughter) is certainly one -- for instance, if you marry your daughter matrilineally to your neighbor's third son, and then his first two sons tragically happen to die*, her kids will inherit the title. More directly, if you keep an eye out* for rulers with only daughters, they'll be more likely to accept a patrilineal marriage. So, marry your heir to the daughter, then she'll inherit her dad's title, then eventually both your titles and hers will pass to your grandkid, and you'll end up in charge of the whole shebang once you're playing as him/her. (I'm assuming male-preference here, just flip everything if applicable.) You can also offer vassalization to people (by right-clicking them). They'll usually only accept if they're your de jure vassal (say, you're the King of Ireland and they're an independent count in Ireland, so you're their boss "by right"), the same culture/religion as you, and pretty weak. But you can close that gap a bit by making them like you or by getting Hooks on them. That said, war is definitely the primary method. As for your own vassals, you can revoke titles off them once your Crown Authority is level 2 or higher (again, by right-clicking the target). This is tyrannical -- and hence will piss all your vassals off -- if you don't have a reason, but having a claim on the title in question counts as a reason, as does the target being a criminal (which you can expose via spying on them) or a rebel. So you should be able to revoke your spymaster's land without tyranny. Oh, and also: if people die with absolutely no living family members to succeed them*, the title gets passed up to their liege, i.e. you. Also keep in mind that gaining land isn't the only way to become powerful / influential, and in fact can be downright detrimental for some purposes, since said land will be full of pissy vassals who will give you a tiny sliver of their stuff in exchange for whining about everything you do, rebelling at the worst possible time, and demanding protection while not raising a finger to help. *Murder being involved in these lucky coincidences is optional. megane fucked around with this message at 08:46 on Sep 16, 2020 |

Another small nitpick: I wish that when people called you into wars it was clearer about what the hell the war is about. You have to click through like 5 screens to figure out what county they're talking about and whether they're defending it or trying to take it. One cause of this is the way wars are titled. It's really weird that a king would ask you to join the war "against the tyranny of" himself, or a "liberty war" when it's somebody else wanting liberty from him. Surely he'd think of it in different terms than that. And if he is himself a vassal, he might be asking you to defend him against his vassals, or to help him attack his liege, and the war title will be the same either way.

Chocobo posted:or did I just have too many children for poo poo to be divided between? It's this. Nearly everybody in CK3 starts out with (and, until a mid-game tech, is locked to) a succession scheme called "partition," which divides up your lands among eligible kids when you die. Moreover, they mostly use "confederate partition," which will actually create duchies/kingdoms/empires for those kids when possible. The best solution is to never take sufficient land to where you're able to create a second title that's at the same tier as your main title (unless you'll then be able to create the next tier above it) and to have as few sons as possible.

Chocobo posted:So, breed one good heir, then murder the other baby boys or send them on suicide missions and marry little baby girls off to prestigious families? Yep. I like to marry the eldest daughter matrilineally, so that if worst comes to worst and all the sons die, she'll inherit and the main title will stay in the family. Note that you can't directly plot to kill your own children, but you can make your loser 2-prowess son be a knight, put him in every dangerous battle, and then weep very convincing tears when he bites it in a way that is entirely not your fault.

Ice Fist posted:Is there any point to founding a holy order aside from checking something off a list? They get a barony, but that barony then gets added to my number of holdings. I though maybe the first time I did it and I gave them a castle it might be because feudal rulers can hold castle baronies, so I dumped the first one I made and decades later founded a new order and gave them a city, but that still counts. I also never get to hire them because some chuckle gently caress in the middle of nowhere hires them the moment they're free and then they all get slaughtered anyways. I found it useful when I reformed Asatru. Since my religion was small, they actually made a difference -- yeah, I didn't get to use them much, but it was because they were constantly busy bashing Catholics for my vassals and allies. It's less of a benefit for you, and more of a gift to your religion. It'd be cool if being their patron earned you piety when they got hired or something. Also, if there were more ways to interact with them, like donating troops and equipment or having them go off and carve out a realm of their own, Teutonic Order style.

My guess is it’s another symptom of the wonky estimation of strength. They should start building up to a revolt as soon as one is crushed... but they should wait until they actually pose a threat, instead of revolting with 800 guys spread between three provinces and getting instantly massacred.

The Cheshire Cat posted:I thought she just got a special event/decision to force realm succession to female preference rather than setting it manually? I haven't played her so I'm not 100% on that. Yes, it's an event that fires soon after you start. What the other poster is describing is that, if you later reform the religion and leave its gender doctrine at equal, the female-preference succession you got from the event is immediately and silently replaced by equal succession, and then there's no way to put it back because doing so requires high authority, not to mention a bunch of other requirements. If you want it to stay female-preference, you have to change the religion to be female-dominated.

They could do a whole expansion around regencies, puppet rulers, councils seizing the reins, etc. Regencies were sort of boring in CK2, but mostly because there wasn’t a lot to do during them; there should lots of events and ways to fight for control as you grow up (or fade into insanity, whatever). Making education deeper and more interactive would help a lot as well, so you can spend your regency years learning intrigue and making childhood friends so you can have your regent thrown in a volcano the day you turn 16.

PittTheElder posted:It's really annoying that heresies of the big Faith's always seem to be at 100% fervor. In my game Insular Christianity has taken over all of the British Isles, and have pockets of adherents on the mainland as well. In addition to the fervor difference Insular also has a 30% conversion resistance, and so a single province takes 25 years of my Bishop's time to convert, which is ridiculous. The Fervor growth over time is based on the religion's size; smaller faiths have it grow faster. I'm sure this was done with good intentions, but the effect is just that any faith smaller than, say, Orthodoxy has 100% Fervor always.
