QuarkJets posted:I played like a million hours of EU4 and a million hours of Stellaris. I never gave CK2 a shot, but intended to eventually. If feedback is good I might just grab CK3 instead Well I got onto Stellaris from CK2. Stellaris plays like a civ game in comparison, though its v much my bag. Imagine Stellaris, but every single portrait in the game had the same tools and rules and aim of winning as you. Every one of the bastards can do what you do, even the guys on your team. Especially those guys. DS9 but everyone is garak. CK2 can be minmaxed and cheesed but to little point, its much more fun play it organically and accidentally fail upwards and lock yourself in with a nemesis or two of your own creation, sometimes your own blood. I never found it a power fantasy game, its much more about scrambling to salvage a position at the top of the pile and laughing at how the hell you managed to pull that off. CK3 might be even more like that. I'd play CK2 pen and paper beside me taking note of my council member's money to spot if anyone was on the take, but its even more blackmail focused which isn't going to be something I can probably keep note of. I'll just be paying attention to who could gain from each mysterious action until I start blaming my computer for being in on it.

orangelex44 posted:There's achievements for a ton of things that people will do just by playing the game. There's literally one for just playing to the last year! There's another one for just going up in rank (count->duke or whatever). Cheevos are used as a way of gauging when people dropped off a game or mechanics they didn't bother with, odds and sods devs can then tweak or note for the next game. They're not entirely for the player's sense of accomplishment. I'm sure you could go pick a random steam game and infer how many people actually completed it purely by looking at the achievements.

Bird in a Blender posted:I bought CK3 a week ago, I guess I should've waited for the expansion to drop, but oh well. This is my first time playing any of the CK games, so I'm learning my way through. This is the paradox way which is brutal given most of their good games you sink days into a play. They only do it when big updates happen though. So many dead royals on the steam forums now. Vive la revolution!

TjyvTompa posted:People have reported bugs where the AI armies just stand around doing nothing, or even worse, walking away from the area. I have not noticed any of these though. Your allies are very good at sieging and supporting you in battles, 10/10, I am very happy. So here's an example of what just happened in a game. I was able to replay it from an autosave and examine what was going on. I, as Ireland invade Wales, call France to arms. France comes, lands and two stacks start sieging the hell out of Wales with me. Then one just kind of hovers around while I and another stack are sieging two cities. Then the two stacks just get up and leave Wales. What's actually happened is France has entirely emptied out just to fight in an ally war and left itself open to attack from Provence. When Provence declared war, I wasn't told about it. France finished its last job in wales - the siege while the other stack waited by so they could both arrive to defend France together rather than in little piddling amounts. I'm playing on a low difficulty so don't know if all of France would be so goddamn stupid as to go on a welsh vacation on hard or not. Either way, those situations could be at least clarified with an "oh poo poo I left Paris' oven on" update from your ally or something. With the never back down thing, they rarely have anything to gain from backing down, and if they were too easy to negotiate with then the player could just start unwinnable wars to turn unpressed claims to pressed down the line.

MikeC posted:I have played every night since launch and haven't seen anything horrible. I am sure there are bugs affecting some mechanics that I might not even notice but the experience is smooth for me so far. A few things should have flags checked but dont. Like people petition to be your poet. But aren't poets. So quit. Or factions are formed against you by children. Who can't form factions, so stop. This one seems to repeat over and over. One guy has twice accidentally plotted to murder himself and apparently chaste people can't learn foreign languages because they must have just copy/pasted the checks from seduction scheme. Eldoop posted:Managed to gently caress myself real bad on succession just now lmao. I started as the Duke of Toulouse and managed to conquer most of Aquitane and a good chunk of Burgundy, but couldn't form either because of still being a vassal to France, and I couldn't remove myself from France because the king and I were friends. So I figured oh well I'll just have to spend a little while reuniting things after I die and then my heir can take care of that, he's never even met the king so what will he care. But uh oh! Turns out if your heir is your grandkid they don't get those claims! So now I'm back to square one with just Toulouse and a couple random counties. Lesson learned I guess!

Has anyone encountered any events from their council jobs since they update? Like extra taxes, get a duchy title instead of a county claim. Or hell, even find secrets? It would seem that they are either triggering impossibly rarely or not at all and I never even noticed.

Hargrimm posted:Yeah, it's a bug. They marked that report as "In Review" so they are aware and looking at it at least, hopefully it gets addressed in the bugfix patch probably coming fairly soon. Heres hoping. I'd be interested to know what specifically broke it. Now I've twigged on to it I don't think I'll play til its fixed because those events are a big part of the game overall. Like I don't wait for X fortunate RNG event to fire, but I absolutely lean on them hard when they do.

I'd even settle on having a parenting decision like pilgrimage every few years. Pick a kid, maybe pass on a hook, ingratiate them with the court or introduce them to allies, teach them a point in the skill tree that you already have, and have them be hated by their siblings for outright favoritism that lasts throughout their lives. Or failing that, send them off for a year or so they come back with some flavoured buff about them vaguely having proven their poo poo is together and they're worthy to rule.

Surprised that isn't a mod yet, but I'd wager all the model modders are too busy making them shag if sims 4 is anything to go by. Couldn't fault them if they are, you could retire off one of those thirsty patreons.

PittTheElder posted:Yeah I saw the warning, and I've been deliberately avoiding filling those spots if the person didn't love me. Though I'm curious if it's because people with 80+ rep will still happily murder you (as they seem to do with factions) or if it's that I'm lacking defense against hostile actions because those slots are empty... Just a thing on this. You have access on each character profile to not just how much money a character has, but how much is coming in each month. So if say your bodyguard suddenly has a big jump in gold and only has your court wage coming in, he's been paid off by someone. Impossible to catch on anything but slowest setting, but if you check how much they have when you hire them you can reasonably figure out if they could have acquired that money on their own by eyeballing it.

Hryme posted:The wives of my sons often start wandering. Is this a known bug? It also means that if they get kids they are also wandering. When you say wandering, do you mean going off to work in another court? What she owns or inherits isn't what your son owns. Seems screwy but if you do a lot of marrying off for prestige and alliance the spouse will sometimes be in line to inherit something better than sitting in your court. It doesn't sound realistic, likely because in the real world those eventualities would have been factored in before agreeing to marry off somewhere. If the game added a fully realistic version of that your head would implode.

Hryme posted:No she was the sister of a baron and didn't inherit anything. My son married her when he turned 16 and she was 18. I swayed her to get her to convert to catholicism and then didn't look at her until 6 years later when I wondered why they had no kids yet. When I looked at them I noticed they did have a kid but he was wandering with his mother and I didn't get any notification that he was born. I have no clue why she started wandering. With wandering I mean she and the kid are guests at other courts. Not officially connected to any court. Sorry I completely forgot that wandering is a mechanic when I took it as a word! I've only started playing ck3 again since the dlc. Reading through the files now and oh god, it just looks like people can be very easily convinced to come to court now if its pimped out on top of other things like relative, culture etc. Haven't noticed this happen to me yet but sounds like shes partying it up in CK3: Cribs. Is she at P Diddy's? wit fucked around with this message at 17:41 on Feb 19, 2022 |

It'll probably be sold as a silk road flavour pack. After movie night and fitness flavour packs of course.

Serephina posted:So uh, was someone saying that Learn Language was broken currently? Since right now my language tutor isn't giving me any sort of bonus, and every failed attempt is 125 stress which quite frankly seems like a lot. If you're chaste its like -20, and a few other odd stats make it stressful and difficult. I get that being outgoing is great for picking up a language but I think they copied pasted it from seduction scheme or something. Because everything in CK3 is nefarious puppetmaster stuff, even your Spanish homework assignment.

SexyBlindfold posted:Hey y'all I just picked up the game after years - dumb question, but why can't I appoint any courtier to the Steward position? Seems like Spymaster accepts any rando in my court and/or direct vassals, but Steward only allows vassals and important family members? I tried looking around but neither the tooltips nor the encyclopedia list any requirements for the council positions. You can have a lady spymaster but not a lady other positions in most jobs straight off the bat. Priest dude is based on your religion so you may or may not be able to replace them and then that can be gender based. Basically Chancellor, Steward and Marshall are the only ones that are standard jobs (dudes who have a title), spouse, archibishop have very specific rules and spymaster is kind of off the books so can be anyone. It becomes insignificant after the first few battles though but early on yes, it can be slim pickings.

Haven't played in a while. Is the allied enemy AI still awful? Last I played they would just do their own terrible, mercurial thing then ultimately just wonder off from the war without even a notification. It felt like I was playing lemmings, but there was some malice behind it.
