How likely is this to be easier to grasp as a newbie vs CK2? CK2 confused me to no end and this is as someone who figured out the inscrutable ways of EU4 and HOI4.

Just bought this, having an absolute ball. My main character is gay, which I just discovered after an unhappy marriage. How do I marry another dude? All I see are women in my marriage selection.

Man how much am I missing out on by playing as little tribal “nations” in Siberia and sub-Saharan Africa Does causal raiding by friendly neighbors still happen there? I’m doing decent at this game but my squabbling neighbors are being picked off one by one by this horse horde to my east.

I keep getting my rear end kicked in wars. Before I start a war, ill check and see if the opposing army is inferior, which it usually is. Then they'll suddenly bring a murder stack out of nowhere and bulldoze me? What gives?

cohsae posted:Allies joining the war? That happened a few times but even in isolation its still happening. Is the force number what the opposing nation has at the moment, or is it their potential capacity? This is my first real CK experience so maybe im glossing over some unspoken mechanics of the former games.

How punishing is it to ignore calls to war? I know its pretty bad in EU4, HOI4. I get called to multiple wars quite often, and it leaves me comically exposed to someone coming in and taking everything.

Some involved questions: Having trouble playing this because i think im still in the EU4 mindset. Is painting the map your color still the goal? Is it possible to play "tall"? Succession confuses me because im supposedly supposed to have my heir keep as many titles as possible, but also I should be giving vassals and advisors titles too so they're happy and not murderous with me. Does it matter who really has the titles so long as this kingdom, whatever it is, stays united? followup: is there a good youtube series which answers these sorts of things? Don't mind if they're LPs as well, I just have so many questions that would probably be answered by seeing people play while explaining why they're killing their failsons and how that benefits the heir.

Is it possible/reasonable to keep land under my direct control from one ruler to the next? Seems like over the generations, the amount of land actually under my direct control becomes lower and lower. Also, is it possible to have vassals like in mount & blade where I can call them to war when needed? It seems like vassals and allies are two different things, which throws me off because I thought vassals were always obliged to go to war with me in exchange for me handing them land?

Keep getting boned by succession. I die, then suddenly my realm splits into two and then everyone declares war on me specifically. Is there a way to prevent that? I went through 3 generations just fine but suddenly something happened and I get dogpiled. Also why do I have trouble raising levies at times? Sometimes i'll be stuck at 400 levies, getting 1-2 per month, when my cap is like 4400. What gives?

Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:That's gavelkind for you. It was the predominant inheritance law in Europe for most of the middle ages actually, and it's the law you start with in both of the game starts (called 'partition' in-game). For an example, if your top tier of title is a duchy and you hold multiple duchies, they will be split between your heirs. Your recourse here is to either only have one heir, or to scramble to create a higher-tier title so at least the realm stays together. If a realm split does happen, you get claims on all the lost titles, so it doesn't usually take too long to get them back. Thanks homie. This was extremely helpful.

How do I get allies which I can call into wars? I get marriages and alliances that way, but rarely can I convince people to help me out. e: goddamn this game is hard. all my vassals suddenly demanded independence as soon as my successor took over.they were fine beforehand, did i miss anything? buglord fucked around with this message at 06:50 on Sep 13, 2020 |

I’m having a lot of fun with creating hooks. Murdering is a ball too, but it’s been great shutting down internal rebellions by bringing up the West African version of pee tapes to convince my vassals to behave. We’re Ghana be having a great time.

How do I use condoms in this game? 2 kids is fine, maybe 3. I don't have the heart to find ways to drown my kids either. Succession is wildly strange to me and I think kids are making it worse.

Tallhemia is a fun playthrough, although im like twice the size now with no direct intervention on my behalf, somehow. Its 1015 and I have more development than Paris and Venice by single digits. Also because of my relative stability in a continent of chaos, i've begun trying to make a dynasty of giants which is possibly the funniest trait to me, because a few of these guys almost go beyond the character portrait.

How do I best destabilize a neighboring empire? It’s 1200 and Byzantium is gigantic. I killed like 4 emperors in a row and it hasn’t burst into a lot of tiny pieces like I did with kingdoms.

Getting a little tired of all 20 of my landed vassals starting poo poo each time the ruler dies. I inherited the empire of Mali as a woman which pissed off a lot of people, on top of the usual malus for having a short rein and my father being a gigantic murderous dick to everyone. I get like, three subsequent independence rebellions one after another as the former one gets resolved. I somehow pull a rabbit out of my hat and pacify everyone with a white peace since overextending myself is a real threat. Once everyone was calmed down I magically became obese and then died a day later, which was kind of funny. Less funny is that all the usual suspects are sharpening their knives again so I'll very likely be doing this process over again. Also for whatever reason, all my vassal contributions are 0 now, so im stuck with 2k levies, down from 18k. There's no way to get them back before these strings of wars hit right? Am I supposed to roll with the punches with these things, am I playing it wrong by quitting as soon as im forced into becoming a vassal?

Magil Zeal posted:Are you tribal? If so your vassal contributions are based on your fame rank, so start earning prestige to get them back. And you shouldn't be scared of becoming a vassal, you should have claims on your former titles (at least, in most cases I believe this is true) and can try to get them back when you're ready. I declared a war without any prestige so I went to the negative level. That's about when the levies vanished  e: Guess ill try my life as a vassal then, thanks!

How do I avoid the situation where my current heir isn’t part of my dynasty? This seems to happen every time I convert to a custom religion with equal gender laws/norms. It’s pretty frustrating and I can’t really tell where along the line I made the “mistake” of proposing a marriage which would result in a non dynasty heir.

Idk if this will change with the patch but it’s kind of fun committing suicide by way of stress. Love making my Shy ruler become insane, howling at the moon at night, because I gave him the horrific task of trying to be friendly with his councilors. Ditto with my greedy rear end in a top hat rulers drinking themselves to death because i forced them to give a pittance of gold to lowborn neighbors.

Am I handicapping myself by not creating Dutchy titles? I have the opportunity to create 39 of them. A have a zillion kingdoms to my name though. Byzantine Empire, if it matters. Also, how in the world do I manage 60 vassal limit while not losing land when a vassal dies?

Noticed my heir wasn't creating babies with his beautiful wife I gave him. Turns out he's homosexual. I have sex with his wife instead but can't seem to produce a kid. Neglected to notice she just turned 50. Before her mangled corpse had time to be buried, I gave my son another beautiful, much younger wife. Still no dice after a few years. I hopped in bed with the new wife and it seems like my son is none the wiser that the new wife he never had sex with also gave birth his child. Or maybe hes just cool with me solving a problem so he wouldn't have to? Also I propose that there should be an icon which depicts the fertility level of a couple. But the icon should be 💦, and instead of blue it should be white, but instead of white droplets it should be white teardrop shaped rabbits. 3 tear drop rabbits for high fertility, 2 for medium, 1 for low.

on that note, how do I make crusades end faster? The AI is more than happy to keep them going when their side has a total of 6k troops and our side has 70k and we've been walloping them in every battle for almost a decade now. I get the idea that they're supposed to be longer than your usual holy war or standard duchy claim war, but its annoying when it seems to persist for no real reason.

Taear posted:Also trying to win a holy war when someone's capital is far away absolutely sucks - I killed army after army after ARMY and took all the territory but getting to their capital without starving was so much bother eventually I just surrendered because it was too much work. Yeah warfighting in this game is incredibly tedious for me, especially now that I’m a gigantic purple blob on the map. I’m really growing to hate the whack-a-mole games I’m having to play with a vastly outnumbered enemy with a lot of little armies. I hoped it would have been left behind in EU4. Are there any mods or subtle game mechanics that automate the movement of armies?

Red Crown posted:What's the post launch consensus on buying CK3 if you've never played CK2? It sounds like CK3 is a major leap forward, but did it release as a buggy mess? I'd say now is probably the best time to jump into the franchise. If you want to take a less risky route, its also available for Xbox Gamepass for PC I think its $9.99 a month and has the added benefit of having a lot of other games to play for that month in case you bounce off of it.
