sloppy portmanteau posted:What's the most efficient way to deal with this situation? I have the Empire of Alba, and claims on all of the land belonging to Norway, formerly Kingdom of Danelaw. But it looks like the fastest way to reclaim all of Britania is to wage 8 Seize De Jure Duchy wars, which would just take way too long with the constant truce. I have the "Divine Right" innovation but that works only on "Your Claims" I found that my Ducal vassals liked to take over these lands when they could as well, so if you're not holding all the duchies then they should help you out.

Also, in my previous playthrough my wife suddenly inherited a county and shed clothes at the same time. Not sure why, she wasn't a lunatic or a heretic and we were both just plain old Catholic. Not just her, also when browsing small counties I'd sometime happen upon a naked man/woman for no apparent reason. Oh, man...there's definitely going to be a Gor conversion mod isn't there.

The "Not Rightful Liege" penalty is stupid and shouldn't be applied if the de jure titles above that level don't even exist. Like I'm imagining a duchy split between four different neighbouring kingdoms/empires and all of the counts are going nah I'm not paying taxes, my rightful liege is... *points clockwise*.

Word from the wise - wait until your vassels stop converting when a heresy pops up to ask them to convert back. The vassels you convert just go back on the "potential heretic" pile and may get chosen again.

Hooks and feudal contact changes are pretty hilarious. I forced through a change on my taxes and "no, I get to be that religion I want", fabricated a claim to the kingdom, and started just kidnapping everyone who refused to join my claimant faction. Of course I'm zoroastrian and everyone else is muslim, so I'm only halfway through that and the king just keeps asking me to be his spymaster. I'm honestly surprised no one has tried to assassinate me or the king doesn't just eat the tyranny, but maybe the AI is both incredibly Incompetent and only hires the incompetent. It's slow going, but my plan to just kidnap the king and force the claim and then forcibly convert all the vassals seems perfectly valid for whatever reason!

Go carve out a chunk of north Africa if you want, but you don't get to also still own Sweden. megane fucked around with this message at 07:38 on Sep 19, 2020 |

Dude that is a guest in my vassal's court tried to have me murdered. I exposed the secret but I don't seem to have any option to imprison him? I am guessing that some unlanded guy didn't try to kill the Empress on his own so I will probably dig up that my vassal was behind it, but it still seems weird I can't interact with him besides plotting

Don't see why he needs anything from me. Agree about the Norse.

My Kanem-Bornu game continues to be interesting! My current ruler got a Lover's Pox event the day after I took over lol, that was not a great start. There was also a Liberty War within the first six months, but it was a great opportunity to start imprisoning vassals and revoking their titles. Restructuring the empire to push towards my vassal limit with dukes and counts, along with starting to build a critical mass of income that I could keep reinvesting, has actually edged my income above the Byzantines and the Arabian Empire (though I am still outpaced by what is now Hispania) The geopolitical situation is pretty interesting. The Kingdom of the Sahara is no more (though I will always remember that kingdom started by my best friend, the Lithuanian Warrior Queen Diplomat  ), as they have been absorbed by a Berber Orthodox emirate. I am allied with them and helped push out the other duchies that had broken away from the Byzantines. The Byzantines actually joined the war and I was worried, but we managed to hit 100% warscore before they landed lolThe Empire of Hispania has been formed. The structure seems to be weakened, though, because instead of the Umayyads fielding 45k troops, the empire has 20k and their powerful Umayyad vassal (who doesn't like the emperor) has 18k. Maybe there's some way to exploit this? I have pushed Ghana back to its de jure borders but I have made peace with them and would like for them to stick around. The Byzantines are stagnating. Technically I have more troops than them at this point, but I am still wary of that big Cataphract attack number. I did field my first unit of Crossbowmen and my empire's buildings are all boosting archers, so maybe we are on more equal footing than I thought. The Nasraddin have shattered. The lands they hold directly are piddling, and the successor states are the Arabian Empire and the Yahyid, both of which are on equal footing with me. I am still wary of engaging either of them directly, especially the Yahyid who are blocking my eastward expansion with a small exclave (they control basically all of central Asia). On the other hand, I have owned the County of Waj in the heart of Ethiopia for two centuries, maybe I'll warp in my MAA Strike Force and absorb all those fragmented holdings around it lol I currently have 5 Kingdom titles which are all going to my heir, even under High Partition. This game has been defined by my Warpgate MAA and abusing this Kingdom title law stuff, I don't know what I'll do when they take either or both of those away lol

I have the "Divine Right" innovation but that works only on "Your Claims" If divine right is the innovation which lets you press multiple claims at once, you could fabricate county claims on all the provinces. Do a de jure war for one of them, spend the truce fabricating on as many as you can, do a war for them when the truce runs out, rinse repeat. Should do it in 2-3 wars rather than 8.

Charlz Guybon posted:Partition splits things with your grandsons even if you have a living son? WTF Yes, French-style inheritance treats your children as if they were alive for splitting the realm. I think the game only gives land to the dead child’s primary heir, so it could be worse. Something else to watch out for is that if you have only daughters, a daughter with a son will have priority over daughters with none.

Though it could be that the child is a hidden bastard and the game is checking real lineage. In any case, the chance of inbreeding seems to be quite low unless you're pulling a Ptolemy. Marry your second and third cousins and it seems to be broadly OK.

So this is irritating: I pressed my son's wife's claim to grab a big chunk of Scotland, which ended up making her a ruler in her own right. Unfortunately this meant that she was then able to imprison him for sleeping around. (It feels a bit screwy that a duchess can imprison a prince, but I can see how the game systems allow for it). How the hell do I get him out? What will happen when I die - can you continue to rule from a jail cell? e: the answer, of course, was murder Gato fucked around with this message at 11:40 on Sep 19, 2020 |

It's annoying me that heirs leave your court. Not my heir specifically - but my heir's heir. Since rulers tend to live for ages my kids will have kids. And that kid will go somewhere else and by the time they inherit they're always a different culture/religion. Sometimes they go somewhere that I can't interact with and get non-matrilineally married as well which is extra frustrating. It's literally happened to all of my heirs now and yea I know you can convert relatively quickly back but if I don't have 300 prestige or if I inherit during a war it's loving annoying as hell! The amount of games I've had to abandon because of it makes me not want to use Equal Gender Roles at all because the AI doesn't take it into account when my heir's heir moves to Lithuania or whatever.

Last time I read up on it, the consensus was that the main stat matters and the genius/quick/dumb trait matters a lot. That goes for both kid and guardian. In addition, the learning skill matters for the guardian. The quality of the guardians lifestyle trait doesn't matter, the lifestyle and education don't even have to be the same as I understand it, though the guardians trait will usually be high quality if you're picking someone with a high main stat in that trait. All these things decide how often the main stat increases during their education, and at the end of their education they get a lifestyle trait based on how high the main stat went.

Moreau posted:How does education work in CK3? I've been spoiled by CK2 - is it just the main stat itself that's important? Or is there some interplay of traits and stats? Guardian's main stat, learning stat, and the three intelligence congenital traits. The genius trait is basically equivalent to a 15 in the main stat, and will presumably have at least some of the main stat as well, so basically just Always Assign To Genius Guardians. Also, if you can send them to university, even if they fail every single yearly random check, they've still pretty much got a floor of tier three education traits, so you can send them to university with a focus completely at odds with their childhood traits with a 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 Imbecile guardian and they'd still get at least a tier 3 and only some mild luck needed to get a tier 4.
