Coming back to CK3 after a while, are there any good cosmetic mods already? Like more varied clothing/hair/beard options. I got the community flavor pack but i'm wondering if there are more.

there has to be a saner way to collapse the byzantines then murdering the succession line of major vassals until some random other landed ruler inherits it. now abyassina rules anatolia and the kingdom of jerusalem holds most of bulgaria

OK, so I created a custom jewish count, placed him in Acre and decided to try to form the kingdom of Jerusalem. This will obviously upset the Abbasids, but so far I've managed to butter up both my liege, the emir and the caliph. I'm still a count, but now with 4 counties spread over two duchies. Question: Should I try to become a duke myself? When I tried something like this in CK2, the caliph just revoked my duchies willy-nilly, can he do the same thing in CK3? Would I be better off as an uber-count?

Being best buddies with the caliph means I can ask for (and get) a pardon when the emir asks me to convert, so I'm not too worrried about that (though this may turn out differently when it's the caliph's own orders I refuse) . What I am worried about, is that the caliph in CK2 was able to revoke duchies without penalties and apparently had a very low threshold for doing so. Does he have the same powers in CK3? E: SlothBear posted:Try to get a hook so that when you do you can immediately get religious protection. Sorry, what's religious protection? Can my jewish ruler get that from the caliph?

Religious protection is a special right in your vassal contract that, if you can get it, means that your liege can't Demand Conversion from you or use their Chaplain to convert your lands. It doesn't protect you from revocation: there's another right for that. However, I think that only Feudal governments get contract rights (not Clan) so that might not help you with the Caliph, especially since (unless he's somehow following a Pluralist faith) he'll always be able to revoke your titles without tyranny as long as he has high enough Crown Authority (so pray for Liberty factions to keep that knocked down I guess, or try to stay in his good side?)

Ah, thanks! Yeah, I don't think that's an option in this scenario, sadly. Is there a way I can see the caliph's crown authority whilst only a being a count myself? Can't seem to figure that one out.

In that case you can modify your feudal contract to have Title Revocation: Protected, and not have to worry about anything.

You are right, that is indeed an option, thanks! Will this carry over if I go from count to duke, or will I have to get another hook on the caliph? Thanks again! E: Religious protection also seems to be on the table, so the Abbasids may be in for a rough couple of years

It carries over. You also can modify your contract without a hook, just have to give something up (like forced partition or increased levies)

I played for seven generations as house Gideon of Semien, Abyssinia and being Jewish sucks. Nobody wants to marry you and everybody can and will declare holy wars on you. On the eighth generation I converted to Coptic and it was insane how much easier everything became. Even the Byzantines were Coptic at that point. I abandoned that run.

Syncretism is great for overcoming that. I made megabogomilism with Islamic friendliness and marriage allied the caliphate because that’s what god would have wanted. Suck it basileus whose the heretic now?!?!

Yeah, there's no way that's the focus of the first content packs as the Norse already have bookmarked starts (in both start dates) and seem solidly fleshed out compared to other areas on the map. Gotta be a fake. P good troll though.

Good lord, alliances. What do you guys do about alliances when you're in one of the thunderdomes? I'm playing as a small timer in the nordic zone on the early start. Even with only a single alliance it's just a clown town of non-stop wars all over the place. I'm now actively trying to avoid marrying daughters to anyone who would grant an alliance. It's beyond ridiculous. Do you just go it alone? Accept the call to arms and then do nothing, hoping nobody knocks your capital down? The fame penalty for refusing a call to arms is massive and you really need your fame as a tribal in the early game.

As an early tribal leader I just accept them all. I’ve gotten the why aren’t you helping message like 1 out of every maybe 20 that I don’t show up too. Most of those early clusters are over too fast for anyone to notice. And if they’re nearby hey free loot and prestige and opinion.

Count Saul of Jerusalem could really use some advice here... As mentioned above, I am a jewish count in the Abbasid empire. I have complete control of the counties in Palestine, but no claim on the Emirate. There seems to be little point in going to war for independence, since the emir has 3 duchies and I wouldn't be able to usurp a title equal to his primary title anyway. If I were able to marry my son to someone with a claim and pressed her claim (and won), she would then become the duchess, right? What happens then, if she has an unfortunate accident (assuming they don't have children)? Does my son become the duke or does the duchy move on to another claimant? My son already has one son from another marriage. Would he (my grandson) eventually inherit the duchy?

Marry your son to someone with a pressed claim, and their children will inherit a claim you can press eventually. Alternatively one of the lifestyle trees lets you scheme your way to a claim on your liege's title, probably do that.

PittTheElder posted:Marry your son to someone with a pressed claim, and their children will inherit a claim you can press eventually. Thanks, but the child that would inherit would not be my player heir (since I've already got a son), so that might not lead to the desired result. Option 2 looks better, though sadly his primary title is not the one I want. It would make me a duke, though, which is nice. I had completely forgotten about that possibility, so thanks

Oh boy the Vikings! They surely arent overplayed nowadays. I was really hoping for an India or Muslims flavor pack. You know something that isnt overdone to death, and whos iconography and other things hasnt been co-opted by Neo Nazis.

So if I understood right, this is just a flavour pack that's fleshing out play in a certain region without any huge overhauls? So we can still expect something bigger and more mechanical coming down the line?

So we can still expect something bigger and more mechanical coming down the line? Yeah it sounds like that’s the distinction. Flavor packs will have content for various geographies/cultures but not new mechanics. In this case we’re getting a new mechanic in the base game and some content for it here, so hopefully that continues as a trend. As few mechanics as possible should be wholly locked behind DLC. I’m probably only ever going to play as Vikings once or twice so I may as well do that now.
