Ok, how the gently caress do I arrange a marriage? I have like 1500 hours in CK2 and I thought I’d install this and be conquering the world in no time, but I haven’t gotten past the first week. I have the “arrange marriage” screen open with my character on one side, but I can’t figure out how to fill in the blank recipient section. All of the potential spouses are listed, but clicking/right-clicking on their portraits doesn’t do anything or present any relevant options. What incredibly obvious thing am I missing here? edit: wow I’m dumb. Can’t believe I was foiled this easily, this doesn’t bode well for me wizardofloneliness fucked around with this message at 01:05 on Sep 2, 2020 |

drat, I’m crashing like every 10 minutes today. Sometimes I won’t even be able to load my save before it shuts down. I had a couple crashes before this, but nothing this bad. I’m playing through gamepass with the most recent update and well above the minimum specs. I made sure my antivirus wasn’t messing with it, per Paradox’s suggestion on their known issues page, but that didn’t help. I just want to play the game!

You should get the lifestyle perks that give you a chance of increasing intrigue or prowess when you torture someone and the one that removes the piety cost. I’m torturing nonstop over here! I haven’t learned anything from them of course, but I’m not really sure how most of these people ended up in my dungeon to begin with anyway.

Is there a console command to imprison someone? I tried the imprison command from CK2 with the appropriate character ids but it said the command doesn’t exist. It doesn’t seem to be on any of the console command lists I’ve seen either. Killing the guy works fine, but I don’t want him dead, I just want him in my dungeon. I really should have just taken care of him with my previous 20 intrigue ruler while I had the chance. This is the former king of France who I usurped the throne from, then my guy died and now everyone hates my current queen and wants to put him back in charge.

Martout posted:so after pottering about in the tutorial start and making a bunch of mistakes etc. I decided to try the Haesteinn start. I immediately raise my bonus starting armies, raid all my neighbours and then for a laugh wardec the king of brittany, immediately capture his queen and his heir in the first seige and suddenly I own all of the britannia start. Can you create any new higher-tier titles? If you own all of Britannia then you should be able to make yourself a duke at least, and then you can have the other counts under you. I don't think you can give away baronies anymore, or if you can I don't know how.

Does anyone know if the bonuses from a special duchy building still apply to me if I give the county away? I have a county that I built a leisure palace in, which gives bonus prestige, stress loss, and scheme success chance to me. It says the bonuses are realm-wide instead of just for that duchy or holding, so I'd think it would still apply to me but you never know with this game. I have some more valuable counties I want instead so I was thinking of letting this one go. What's another good duchy building besides the leisure palaces? Siege works or military academies seem like they would be good, but I always get choice paralysis on these things and have a hard time picking one. edit: After testing, you do not keep any of the bonuses if the county isn't under your direct control. I wanted to build something new for one of my other duchies but I guess I'll build another leisure palace first since I like the bonuses from it. wizardofloneliness fucked around with this message at 23:02 on Sep 7, 2020 |

ZombieLenin posted:So I accidentally created a second kingdom before I had primogeniture, and I immediately realized the mistake and destroyed the title. It's not a bug, confederate partition will create non-existent titles to give away upon your death, assuming you have enough land to create them. Other types of partition won't do that though.

KingKapalone posted:How do you give someone a vassal? How do you pawn a vassal off to another vassal? Can someone provide a basic example too please? You right click on the vassal you want to give stuff to and select "grant vassal" and then choose the one you want to transfer. I only do this if I'm the direct liege of a vassal that isn't a de jure part of one of my own duchies. The rightful duke will have a -25 opinion penalty for each one of these, it'll say "Desires county of x". So transferring over these vassals can give you a pretty huge opinion boost.

My queen of France decided to start worshipping the Horned God because some guy whispered in her ear while she was sleeping. Now all my kids are witches too and I’ve formed a coven with them! I’m sure no one will ever find out about our terrible secret. My current ruler has 30 intrigue and permanent 100 dread so no one goes against her, but my heir has an intrigue of 2 so we’ll see how this turns out.

PittTheElder posted:Has anyone noticed issues with the spymaster Find Secrets task when you start opening the Schemer intrigue tree? Once I took the perk that allowed Find Secrets to create hooks on people, that's all it would do. I'd never find secrets, I would always have to pay money to fabricate a hook, which was useless because all I was trying to do was blackmail them for money in the first place. You should move your spymaster to a place with a higher chance of finding secrets. If there’s only a 25% chance of finding a secret in a certain location then most of the time your only option is to fabricate a hook. I’ll just go with the opinion bonus instead if it’s some random courtier with no money, but sometimes you can end up fabricating a strong hook on a ruler which can be pretty useful.

PittTheElder posted:Well the rate was pretty high in Constantinople, >60% I think. Like normally I'd discover 3-4 secrets during the task cycle, but the instant I took that 'sometimes fabricate hooks' perk, that stopped completely. I'll still find some actual secrets with the perk. I think it seems like it's less because without the perk I usually wouldn't really notice if my spymaster didn't find anything for a few cycles because it's not one of the big pop-ups, but when you have the perk it will fire every time except a significant percentage of that will be your spymaster saying "Well, I didn't find anything but you can make up something about this random guy if you want." But that's one of the first perks I go for, so I don't spend all that much time without it.

Sadistic is a pretty great trait. In CK2 I always had a hard time being a terrible person and just imprisoning and executing everyone, but being sadistic makes it such a breeze it's hard to resist. Just take a quick trip to the dungeons whenever you're feeling stressed. Plus you can directly kill your own kids, which can really come in handy. I had six legitimate sons, most of them died without my interference, but I ended up with a mediocre heir and a quick and handsome spare. I was all set to start a plot to kill the older son but I decided to go on a hunt first. I walked in on the aftermath of him murdering someone and had the option to either cover it up or expose him... or just kill him right now because I have the sadistic trait, which is exactly what happened.

In the declare war screen I can pick the claimant's claims but the warning tooltip says there *are* no claims. I'm an emperor, if that matters. It’s because she’s a girl.

shut up blegum posted:So I joined a crusade and I had to appoint a beneficiary. For some reason it couldn't appoint anyone, what's up with that? I was the main contributor and would have gotten a decent chunk of land, but since I couldn't appoint anyone I ended up with a stack of cash and piety. You can only appoint an adult member of your dynasty who isn’t a ruler and isn’t an heir to anything. I usually end up with mostly random female dynasty members as possible beneficiaries. If you have a small dynasty you might not have any eligible people. Although one time I disinherited one of my sons because he was sub-par and then made him my beneficiary. Then we won and he became the king of Syria and then he immediately converted to Druze and then died. But my daughter is still doing pretty good as the queen of Castile from a previous crusade.

I suck at games and just want to mess around/blow off real life steam with the game and steamroll things. It would seem fun in this game to do stupid gimmick builds and/or try for silly goals. I think there's an easy difficulty option, but I've never used it so I don't know exactly how it's different from standard. You can also launch the game in debug mode and use the console to give yourself gold or different traits or just kill a lot of people.

Tippis posted:…and that right there is probably where things went awry. I've tried similar things and they at most got a duchy. I have literally nothing to back this up, only my own anecdotal evidence, but I suspect that since Catholicism takes such a dim view to women rulers that you can just use any old excuse to depose them, they also don't haphazardly give entire kingdoms away to them unless there are literally no other options. If you’re the number one contributor listed on the crusade screen then your beneficiary should get the main title, it shouldn’t matter what gender they are as far as I’m aware. I’ve had two female beneficiaries as the largest contributor and they both got the queen title afterwards. I think the only time this doesn’t happen is if the crusade is for a particular claimant, then that person will get the highest title. It sounds like this is the case for what happened with the other guy, since he was the former king of England. Although, that is confusing in your case that the results were so different. Maybe you weren’t actually number one in one of the wars? Maybe it depends on the particular inheritance for the title too, I’m not sure.

Arglebargle III posted:I keep kicking my second sons out of their pity barony and conquering Syria for them and they keep losing it. Yeah, my son lasted a few months as king of Syria before converting. Then he quickly became a vassal of one of the nearby empires. The lovely thing is that his heir ended up being a different dynasty somehow, so I wasn't even getting the extra renown after he died. Meanwhile, Jerusalem turned into a powerhouse but my dynasty was so small at the time of that crusade that I didn't have any possible beneficiaries I could name.

Trevor Hale posted:What’s some advice for breaking up a powerful vassal? I am king of England, Wales, and soon to be Ireland, but one of my dukes has 7 duchies. 5 of them have their own inheritance rules (which is how I think they’ll all wind up going to his primary heir). Murdering won’t help, since the heir will be as powerful as he is. If you fabricate a claim on his counties you can revoke them without getting any tyranny. If you don't have a hook on him he might choose to rebel so just be ready for that. Or you could try to get a hook on his heir or imprison him, and then just wait for dad to die and all his titles to pass on. Are you fabricating hooks or just using your spymaster to find secrets in his realm?

So I'm at high crown authority now and still routinely get the "realm will lose land when vassal dies" popup. Everyone in here says it's bugged and doesn't work right but I'm not sure if I've actually lost any land when these people finally die. I haven't noticed losing control of any counties, but I also have a big empire with pretty bad border gore so it just might not be that obvious to begin with. One duchess's heir was some count in the HRE so I used the console to kill her and see what would happen. Despite clearly having this HRE guy as her heir to all her titles, all her stuff went to some random unlanded guy of her dynasty who stayed my vassal. So I didn't actually lose anything even though the popup said I was going to. Either way, it's pretty annoying to have the game tell me I'm going to lose a bunch of poo poo when that may or may not actually happen. I don't like using the console regularly, so I guess I'll stick with the usual strategy of revoking and/or killing until everything is safely in my realm and I don't have to worry about losing random stuff. But inevitably I'll end up with another female ruler with screwed up succession who is too old to have kids, or some 3-year old whose heir is a neighboring duke. Not that I really mind murdering all these people, but their deaths might have been avoided in the first place.

I have over a thousand hours in CK2 and I'm not sure if I got to the ending date more than once. The first time was mostly just to see what would happen, which is nothing. I do wish CK3 would add in the screen when you quit with all your characters and your high score. I know there's the lineage tab, but watching the slowly scrolling list of all my characters over the years was more satisfying.

After three generations and nearly a hundred years, I finally created the Kingdom of Mann and the Isles! (Just noticed the German Byzantines, not sure when that happened.) I started as the Duke of Jorvik, but I didn't make elevating the kingdom a goal until a bit too late in his life, so he died 10k fame short of Living Legend. My next character only lived for another ten years. But his son inherited at 19, so I focused on getting all the positive health modifiers and prestige bonuses I could and went to town raiding for the next 50 years. I realized I couldn't expand past a certain point without getting a lot of penalties, so I ended up having to conquer territory and then make them independent. Apparently there's no truce with that, so you can just immediately start fighting them again. So at age 75 I get the warning that I'm going to die within a year and I'm still about 1000 fame short. I have just enough cash to raise a runestone and create a few duchies, and I'm the king of Mann! Which there is no achievement for apparently, but whatever. The bonuses are pretty great. It takes two months to build normal stuff, plus the 20 increase in development, plus my own pirate army of 7500.  Except I'm set to lose 95% of my land in a few months when I die because it switched my capital duchy from Jorvik to Mann, which is one county, and I have enough land for the kingdom of England to form, which will go to one of my other sons. My heir will have a kingdom of one . I could take all the land back pretty easily due to my huge pirate army, but I think I'm just going to disinherit my four other sons since I have more than enough renown.Also, I've barely engaged with all the new culture stuff since I've been so focused on getting Mann, but I have a poo poo ton of prestige that's going to vanish very soon so now's the time to do it I guess. I'm currently the head of Norse culture with a whole two Norse counties because everyone else has diverged/hybridized. I'm thinking of hybridizing with the Anglo-Saxons which costs next to nothing and then reforming it to include either Stalwart Defenders or Castle Keepers. Culinary Artists seems good too for the renown, but I don't have any farmlands. I think I'll try to form the North Sea Empire after this. You need to control all the kingdoms for 30 years on a single character, not just overall right?

Serephina posted:SCANDINAVIAN ELECTIVE. Burn all that prestige slapping that on any title you care about (honestly your primary is usually enough) and make sure your kid gets it all via hooks. You don't even need hooks if your vassals love you a lot! It's a small bit of work for saving a ton of ingame resources that reconquering or disinheriting costs. The problem with that is I’m currently in an ally’s war so I can’t add any laws. I wasn’t able to form England beforehand because that would’ve cost me forming Mann. I don’t have enough cash to form England right now anyway, but confederate partition will take care of that for me. I really should’ve just added Scandinavian elective to my other duchies beforehand, but it totally slipped my mind and now I don’t have enough time to set things up since I only have eight months or less before I die. I guess I’ll just eat the disinherit costs this time and set up Scandinavian elective as soon as I can so I don’t have to deal with this the next time around.

drat, back to crashing on startup every time again. I deleted everything and did a clean reinstall, checked firewall access, and put all the settings on low, and now I can get to the main screen, but it immediately crashes as soon as I try to load or start a new game. So I guess my mission to form the North Sea Empire will have to wait. The gameplay bugs don’t tend to bother me that much, but all the instability and performance issues suck. New DLCs for CK2 were always full of bugs but I remember it being pretty stable overall, even on the lovely old laptop I had then.

I wanted to do another Kingdom of Mann run since my old save was no good, so I started as Haesteinn this time. I was accumulating prestige at a steady pace, but I started getting worried when he got cancer around age 70. I tried to stack health bonuses as much as I could, but the cancer plus all the stress from being greedy and all the crazy treatments my physician inflicted on me and then also becoming infirm did not make for a good combination. But that dude just refused to die. He finally kicked it at 97 after a botched treatment. It would've been nice to make it to 100 but he was also an infirm widowed disfigured eunuch so his stats were pretty poo poo by that point anyway.
