As your army would just take it back as there is no realistic way for that army could hold it for any length of time. Real life isn’t like a video game your capital isn’t like a flag in capture the flag

It’s more a result of warscore being all or nothing when your small Capturing the enemy leader is 100% warscore no matter what size you are. Of course it instantly wins the war because they could just right click execute you. Speaking of which I gotta try doing that to some AI and see what happens

blue squares posted:There’s precedent for it though. Nations that leave their homeland undefended are susceptible to armies invading It's how the Emperor Heracleus won the last Roman-Persian war, the Persians had basically conquered the Near East and were moving into Asia Minor and Heracleus, with the Empire in shambles and unable to directly fight the Persians, just went "gently caress it, I'm invading Persia", which he did and basically went on a rampage there which included destroying at least one (might have been two) of the Great Fires and pretty much doing irreparable damage to the political and religious legitimacy of the Sassanids and the Zoroastrian religious establishment. War ends with Persians surrendering their conquest and borders returning to the old status quo. This was also shortly before the Muslims came around.

Eschatos posted:So I'm thinking about trying to form an entirely new empire instead of going for Britannia, since I'm significantly closer to the target number of counties. If I later would be able to form Britannia, would Confederate Partition force me to create it on death and split up two empires? In CK2 forming a custom empire would move all the kingdoms you controlled to be dejure part of your new empire immediately if their default empire does not exist. So for example if you held all of Ireland and Wales plus half of Scotland and no one was emperor of Britania your new empire would be the kingdoms of Ireland and Wales, but Scotland would still belong to Brittania. I don’t know if the rules are different in 3. Regardless if you end up meeting the criteria to form a second empire confederate partition will create it for your heir (making them independent).

Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:It will definitely always cost you a lot of gold. You shouldn't have too much of a problem raising your economy to the point where it doesn't throw you too deep into negative income though. Even at the start of the campaign, with a well-managed realm you should be able to declare war without going into debt, unless you've picked an especially difficult start. Build more economy buildings and save up some money before declaring war. Strobe posted:No, Levies have a fixed base upkeep of 1000 levies/1 gold/month. So if you have 5500 levies (and no men at arms) it would cost 5.5 gold/month upkeep if they're raised. It's less the levies and more the men at arms. and what exactly is "well developed" post-tribal conversion; every holding with slots filled? every holding slots filled at level 2?

Alright, I created the Kingdom of Darfur and got two Kordfan Holy Sites, although one is in the hands of a coptic vassal. I'll find a way to convert him somehow. Now to get a third Holy Site and get the 2-3000 piety needed to make the same religion, except with equal gender laws. For Anubis!

Oh I didn't realize you meant after converting from tribal to fuedal and not just starting in feudal. That seems super not worth it right now and I can't help but think that's unintended. In unrelated news: Strobe posted:I started the Sorority Thunderdome opening and then over the next 15 years had seven sons and no daughters. Up to nine sons now, still zero daughters.

Ok so I think I've realized what's wrong with the Dynasty/House head inheritance. It always stays primogeniture, no matter what you change your other succession laws to. I hope they fix that fast, so many of the game's important decisions are locked behind being dynasty head.

If you form a cadet house + are the strongest guy in the dynasty you'll get the Dynasty Head position pretty quick in my experience. But it is a very annoying and roundabout approach, not to mention tribal - excluding. I've gotten the DH position like that half a dozen times or so.

Is there any way to see why a non-player character was excommunicated? My number one heir was excommunicated while I was fighting in a crusade. He's going to have enough problems following my legendary leader who was deposed as a child, won the kingdom of Ireland back, took most of Wales, and installed his sister and friend as queen Jerusalem. I'm worried that if he takes over as king while excommunicated the whole kingdom will get dogpiled by my neighbors. I'd at least like to know what he did so I could potentially imprison him and set up his brother as heir.

I don’t think this is true. I had ultimogeniture for most of my Ireland run and was always the head. It also tracked when I used absolute crown authority to pick my heir. What did happen is another member of my family would temporarily be head for a few months each time my succession happened.

I know this has been covered several times here, but I’m still wrapping my head around upgrading my holdings. I mainly try to put all my upgrades in the county of my realm capital. Should I just kind of keep doing that? Is there a point where it’s a good idea to start building up my other (personally held) counties, maybe when I can set succession laws where I’m not likely to lose the counties on death? Or something else

Finally got a chance to play this, and I think I might have found a neat little interaction. Current guy is a Seducer with a Vengeful trait, and one of my affairs was exposed. Her husband imprisoned and executed her. So I murdered him - and got a huge stress reduction "because you have the Vengeful trait". I didn't see that when I murdered other rivals, I think.

All the complaints are from 2019, as mentioned in the article, and they signed with unions this last July. The article itself says it's too soon to say if things will improve but CK 3 is big so Paradox article good for clicks.

What happens if you banish a vassal? Do they still hold onto their titles somehow, or are they passed on to their heirs, or what?FileNotFound posted:This isn't really a Paradox issue - there is no game company that I am aware of that treats their QA with any sort of decency.

So my India game is going pretty well: I'm Bhaumakara in green, and what is not evident in that screenshot is that the king of Dhruvid is my father and I am in line to inherit it when he croaks, and the king of Pratihara is my husband, because I am awesome at arranging marriages (even if I did have to stab said husband's brother after arranging that marriage to ensure he'd be the one to inherit the kingdom when the time came). So I am set to basically inherit about 90% of what I need for Chakravarti, all I really need to do is peel off some territory from the north and west. North might be a bit tricky - Ü has alliances with basically all of Tibet so the total strength is comparable to my own and mountain territory is not great for big armies, but they are individually not that strong so I can probably just wait out a few of those alliances. Some of the others I should be able to just ask to vassalize them with a bit of swaying - I'm still working my way towards True Ruler so it will make up the difference for the culture/faith penalty from other Eastern religious groups. Thinking about it, I haven't really checked up what's been going on in Europe in a while, I wonder what-  So anyway things are going great in India. blue squares posted:I started a game as King Leon and I married a queen in England.

Yeah rulers will always stay in their home so you can't use them as councillors and you don't get the spouse bonus from them, but fertility is not affected so you can still have kids.

there not being a "confirm" hotkey is incredibly bad i think. doing a mass ransom after a war and having to click my mouse 30+ times is very bad. this game could also greatly benefit from the automatic diplomacy thing in eu4. like some way to automate sending out conversion demands that are at 100% or the hooks into gold thing. i conquered all of africa with like 70% of the rulers in the entire realm being my dynasty and it was too annoying to ever use that trait to its fullest. its literally physically painful to not be allowed to mash c or whatever to close popup windows

Ms Adequate posted:No you're correct, that kind of play is possibly better suited to existing kingdoms where you can be some random duke and be Littlefinger. Ireland's situation means war is inevitable, even if you don't start one the vikings or Scots or someone are going to come calling. Your best bets for that are probably going to be finding someone with appropriate traits in either Byzantium, the Seljuks, or the HRE. Being a Byzantine Doux is probably perfect for that, you're safely ensconsed in a little box where the Emperor can call out about 8000 troops at will, but you're also surrounded by a bunch of fellow vassals who want all your stuff. We've been doing a semi-coop game of Byzantine nobles in multiplayer and whoever gets the Emperor nod has to worry about smashing all the associated external threats while we merrily engage in intramural backstabs and eugenics programs.
