If it says my levies are at 1335/2060, how exactly do I get it to max out? Is it just a matter of waiting awhile or is there something im missing?

Waiting is one part, I'd guess maybe you have some vassals that dislike you? Try checking the realm screen and swaying anyone who holds land and dislikes you.

People were saying yesterday that you can revoke titles without incurring tyranny for wars declared that are part of your de jure / fabricated claims. I'm trying to revoke titles of people I've conquered, but it still incurs tyranny?!

All my vassals rose up in rebellion and it turns out when they're not giving you levies, you're pretty drat weak. RIP.

Just before -- William and Harald Hardrada start at war with England so there's a decent chance of any of the three sides winning. Hell, Denmark sometimes even gets in on the fun.

So, if William wins does he leave the two northernmost Dukes in power as he did historically until he caught them plotting rebellion, or does he do a clean sweep and replace everyone?

I mean, I can play as one of those dukes and simply help Harold win the wars against the invaders if I have to, but I really liked the long game of warring and plotting against Norman vassals until I was strong enough to overthrow the King. It was a race against time, because if one province went English before I did so it was really hard to stamp out that culture and stop it from spreading.

It's 928 A.D. and Byzantium is well on the way to recreating Rome. Except... uh... I'm Flanders. I think claimants to the French throne wound up in Constantinople and the Byzantines have been pushing claims left and right and they've changed the rules so they wind up as Emperor over the kings. Just converted to Orthodoxy because 1/3 of France already has. The Rhine area has converted to non-christian dualism(?!), and I'm occasionally attacked by naked female peasants wearing bits of armor like a 80s fantasy novel cover.




I do think an AI aggression maybe needs a tweak. Claims seem easy and quick to get in comparison to CK@. It's just WAR everywhere. Constant war. Mercs seem a lot cheaper which is nice.

I really like what they've done with the music. How it's all ambient you might hear in, say, an RPG during exploration. Events and wars trigger a more familiar movie score. I've played for hours and I don't register repeating songs. I like OST from EU4 or Stellaris or Victoria 2 very much but it gets old very very fast.

On the other hand modding music probably becomes much harder. At the moment you don't even hear "calm" tracks changing. I suppose modders should only add event music like war ballads.

One thing I'm always trying to do in CK is to get Alexios Komnin the emperorship in Byzantium and it turned out to be an excersize in frustration. Anyone have tips? I started the faction to get me the BYZ and some people joined and than it feels like you have next to no influence over it. I had the spymaster looking for secrets at random which got me some unlucky dude but thats about it. What can I do to get more people to join? I've seen dudes with -70 opinion of liege who still won't join. The list says there are people with weak hooks who might be persuaded to join but the button says you need a strong hook for that and no option to "persuade" them.

Can someone explain succession to me?

I'm in the default, Confederate Partition. I have a kingdom title, 2 duchies, and about 7 counties. I changed the kingdom to Tanistry Elective by decision, my designated heir is getting the most votes but I'm still losing a duchy and related counties to multiple heirs. Do I have to change the succession laws for each title I own? That's a lot of prestige

Yes, Elective is Title succession, it only applies to specific titles, while partitions etc. are Realm succession, they apply to your whole realm and all titles.

African GENIUS sorority thunderdome.


I started an ironman run with Daurama. In my previous non ironman experiences the starting rival (who has great intrigue) murders you fast. so I uh... killed husband snake slayer since I had decent odds on him. I remarried to a nice genius fellow and heirs, so many heirs, everywhere. Almost all of them got genius as well

Which by the way there is a dynastic upgrade decision if you can get someone as dynastic head who is a Genius/Beauty/Herc(amazon) who has at least 1 positive level of the other two traits and no negatives. So I have made that my goal for the future.

However without being murdered early it turns out having GREAT diplomacy and then going seduction focus lets you blob fairly nice and sets for an easy reformation of the Bori faith.

In that case, what is the point of changing the kingdom title to elective? Even in partition, the primary one should still go to your primary heir; in fact, it's worse to change it to elective as you then run the risk of being outvoted. What am I missing?

You can add elective to your duchies as well and then your heir inherits the entire duchy. Costs 1500 prestige and you can do it without getting the decision to add it to your kingdom. I think the point of elective kingdoms is for swapping heirs but I could be missing something about inheritance.

It has its pros and cons - its useful for smaller kingdoms or for situations in which you have strong ties and relations across all your vassals. It stops the break up of your duchy/kingdom meaning less warring to try put things back together. It's good for diplomatic focused games and it allows you to vote in a better son/daughter if your eldest is a complete dolt. Its disadvantage is that you have to work to get elected, and obviously if you're not elected, then you'll have to work or war to get back in.

Primogeniture is a most secure approach, but prone to infighting and again, if your eldest is a dolt, you're going to have to start stabbing to fix that, which in the case of CK3 now might not match the traits of your current player.

I haven't had a single crash, but I have noticed that the game draws power like nobody's business: I had to rearrange what was on battery backup for my UPS, because otherwise a few minutes of playing CK3 would cause the UPS to alert for overdraw.

Been loving around in Ireland and for some reason Connach just deletes any attempt to invade. I outnumber them three to one at least and five to one on the most recent, have roughly even relevant stats and it doesn't seem to be the terrain cause it happens regardless of where i fight their army. I've got the rest of the county but every time I send an army west it just meets the Connach force and goes 2500 v 700 to 0 v 650.

It's great if you have TWO or more kingdoms, but no Empire on top of them yet. Then the prestige is worth it to keep both kingdoms on one heir, and you automatically rule over all the duchies in the kingdoms.

So I’m a huge noob and have never done much with the intrigue plots except to kill an occasional older heir. But roughly how did you go about killing to make yourself a duke, did you have to marry your children to the dukes children, then stabby stabby and get your son to inherit a dukes titles?

I’ll be firing up a game like this later today and can probably figure it out on my own, but I’m just curious the basics
