I got the option to build a carp pond, so of course I did so. It's like, 50 gold, who cares? A few days later, my son literally gets dragged into the pond and eaten by a carp in front of me. What the gently caress.

I cannot see this as anything other than a Dwarf Fortress reference because what the gently caress E. For those not familiar with DF, there was an infamous bug involving carp. In the game your units train up strength and such by doing physically demanding things like, say, swimming. But that applies for all things, including wild animals. So you had carp, who do nothing but swim 24/7, being absolutely jacked and capable of just annihilating anything that got within range.

CuddleCryptid posted:Found on reddit, this is an interesting change. There's also a loving insane dynasty decision you can do: If you can breed up a good enough dynasty head, you can basically turn your entire dynasty superhuman.  +40% chance of inheriting good traits, and +40000% chance of getting new ones. (Which I assume basically guarantees a couple good, new ones on birth.) But I imagine to balance it, you only get 1 character with the trait, and if you can't breed it into your dynasty you probably have to try again later.

Mailer posted:I like a lot of the new features. I dislike that in 2/2 wars a tiny force made a beeline for a holding where some random relative was and instantly kidnapped them for like 50% score, then ran two countries over to avoid combat. I bowed out ages ago on CK2 when their patch direction skewed heavily into punishing stability and expansion. It'd be cool if this one was a bit more hands-off on that. The new partition system is somehow worse than gavelkind was, so yeah, don't hold out hope.

I was not ready for how much prestige pressing other peoples' claims costs. I paid a claimant to stay at court and then it turned out to be a total waste since it takes 325 prestige to press someone's county claim. Is there an easy way to gain prestige? I burned through most of what the tutorial starts you with and only gain like 2 per month. Luckily immediately after that Lollardry broke out across Scotland and Ireland so I can war for piety instead.

Meanwhile my August ruler is sitting out here with Living Legend fame rank popping out more than 20 prestige per month with a fairly small kingdom It does kinda suck when you spend like 1000 prestige declaring war and calling in allies, then spend 30 minutes playing whackamole with enemy armies trying to defend your capital, hold onto the objective, and get warscore, only for the war to end inconclusively because your claimant dies of something dumb. As you say, Holy Wars are much more convenient, so there's a bright side to Catholicism's fervor dropping to 10% every few years. AndrewP posted:Here's a simple question.

AnEdgelord posted:So is Tanistry succession in Ireland just not worth it? The electors keep electing decrepit old men who everyone hates that die less than ten years after taking the throne. tanistry is good because it's an electoral style which locks all possible candidates to members of your dynasty, thus removing the possibility your clan loses the throne being an electoral succession type, you then have to ensure that you're properly massaging the electors to vote for your preferred candidate and not ancient uncle donnchad who hasn't mattered in 50 years

played 10 hours or so, mostly as King Alfonso VI of Leon. Killed all my brothers, had to kill a few kids and got named a dynastic kinslayer on the last one. Thats where I fully embraced dread/torturing and for the last 20 years my ruler has been keeping his factions in line by fear alone. My wife only gave me two daughters so I seduced a wandering Capet and had a few bastards, and romanced her. Eventually, she was imprisoned when someone found out. Well I broke her out of prison and they eloped and lived happily ever after. Kill count of King Alfonso so far: 27. Torture rate: like 50 or so. If you haven't tried dread yet, I highly recommend it.

I don't think so, the text seems to imply it is for your whole dynasty. It's not a congenital trait, it seems to just be a bonus for your dynasty members.

luxury handset posted:tanistry is good because it's an electoral style which locks all possible candidates to members of your dynasty, thus removing the possibility your clan loses the throne It would be OK to play with except the decision to take it only changes your top level title. Your duke and count level titles are still confederate. Getting the rest of your titles to Tanistry is 1500 prestige each. If you don't have 5000+ prestige to spend you end up with the worst of both. You bribe and hook electors for years but still lose all your lands and have to play as a 1 county king.

The ambient sounds are great and all, but I really wish they'd stop when the game is paused, so you have an audio cue. Other wishes: Messages should be dissmissable by right clicking anywhere on them, not just in the title bar. Lock tooltips with the left mouse button (I have no middle button dammit).

Not sure I like the new raiding mechanics. CK2 was probably way too good on that front, but I feel 45 days to take 4 gold from some backwater Bishopric, and then another 50 days to get back on the boat is a bit harsh when they can just rally point beside me and dump 2k troops on me in a couple of weeks. Getting locked into position for that long is harsh.

Is there a way to write in-game notes about certain characters? Some Earl just gave me a heads up that one of my vassals is trying to plot against me. If it turns out right, I want to remember the fact it was this random Earl who helped me out so I can eventually give him a nice big County as thanks. But these Irish names are so hard to remember, so I guarantee I'll forget about this dude in an hour or two when I get around to conquering lands for him.

You can pin characters and there's a little box in the top-right to show/keep track of your pins, but no way to actually take notes iirc.

Raiding feels a lot more balanced, I gotta say. Rolling down a river as the Norse and hitting a wealthy city and getting the gently caress out before a Frank doomstack shows up is pretty fun, and there's always plenty of coastal baronies to smash and grab. The prestige generation is about as important as the gold now.

That's a shame, would be really great having a little notepad attached to every character so you can write your own little notes to keep track of them properly. I love the funny hat idea, but I'm just going to run with this plot and see what happens and try and resolve it quickly, so I can either reward this goober or curbstomp him to death.

Frog Act posted:I’m also spending gold on buildings in my cities that provide tax income, is that a good expenditure of resources? I think my problem with CK is I feel like my path to progress is never as clearly delineated as it was in Victoria where I had historical goals rather than personal ones (grab spheres to form Germany, etc) so in CK where the focus is so distinctly on other things I feel a bit wandering I got to a period where everything around me was pretty stable and I spent all my time consolidating my power. By building and upgrading my holdings over about 20 years I was able to go from 3 gold/month to over 10, and raised my levies from 2000ish to 3800. I will note I also took this time to fabricate claims on my own vassals and take their Earldoms for myself, as well as ensure my son would would be chosen through tanistry by stab stab & getting hooks by uncovering secrets. Tanistry seems much easier when you hold most the earldoms of your kingdom When my ruler died my son was in a great position to fend off the shitstorm since everybody hates him.

Ho boy got another basic question for the floor. I declared war against a neighbor. My son/heir/marshal is vassal of a county and he's showing up as his own "neutral" army that I can't control. Right now he's wandering the map fighting his own wars that I have no part of. Shouldn't he be, ya know, fighting for me?

AndrewP posted:Ho boy got another basic question for the floor. He already provided his due share of troops to you as a vassal, which is included in what you summoned when you raised your banners. He can do whatever he wants with the rest of his troops. You can increase how many troops he is obligated to provide by changing the obligation laws with a hook, but the only way to get all the troops out of a county is to personally own it. So if he has 100 troops, and his obligation is set at 20%, then you can raise 20 troops under your own banner and the other 80 can do whatever he wants.

So I'm the king of Ireland and could declare myself the King of Wales and now I'm at the point of the game where I don't want to keep playing because I don't want my nice tidy kingdom to fall apart. I'm a little confused about how Confederate Partition works. Will the kingdom of Wales be created if I die whether I make it or not? I have a primary heir who's unlanded and a murderer and the second-in-line to the throne is the duke of two duchies in Wales. Is it just going to fall apart no matter what I do and I need to just deal with it and let the family branch out? As an aside, my grandson tried to kill me on a hunt. I exposed him but apparently my family would all dislike me if I put him in prison for trying to kill me so I guess he walks free. Also very confused why mayors are able to call themselves powerful vassals when I'm a drat high king.
