Unless you're a player who doesn't fight much most of them will die in battle. If your failsons have low Prowess scores you might have to go into the knight list and force them to become knights (the autopick chooses knights in descending order of Prowess until you hit the limit so if you want to ensure someone is in the line of fire you should check that).

So I've been the Emperor since I turned 18, and have had four children since then. Yet only one got the Born in the Purple trait, I wonder what could be up with that? Looking in your direction Basilissa... e: also, France having a normal one over here

You can play it all the way through to 1453 but at a certain point you're basically an unstoppable juggernaut who grows more as a function of boredom than out of any need. The game also gets slower as you go on and have to deal with more stuff. Being able to steamroll duchies means dealing with a duchy's worth of captives every few months.

I think I must be up to 50 hours in this game I started in 867 and I'm hitting the 1200s now. There's been long stretches of the game where I had it set to 4-speed but I could have easily put it to 5. Also lots of times when I was paused and not doing anything but strategizing (also setting up for posting here lol)

MH Knights posted:What are the difficulty options like in this game? Is there something like the "Settler" difficulty from the Civilization games? I suck at games and just want to mess around/blow off real life steam with the game and steamroll things. It would seem fun in this game to do stupid gimmick builds and/or try for silly goals. I havnt played the easier settings but I know that the tutorial Ireland starts with extra gold and buildings which makes things way easier.

So, when my king died I had one living son with one county and one living grandson from a previous son, also with one county. My chosen heir was elected via Anglo-saxon elective as king. Did not inherit anything else. The grandson got a duchy and like 7 or 8 counties. Some other relative got a duchy and one county. Seems a bit unbalanced. <_<

Wow converting counties is a huge pain in the rear end now huh. I formed Portugal, united the Spanish thrones, conquered all of Iberia (except for a couple of French/HRE counties), formed Hispania, consecrated my bloodline, but each county conversion takes like 15-20 years and my vassals are not pulling their weight. It’s not even 1200 yet and I’m not sure I can convert all these counties before 1453.

The implication is that you should have whatever nobility under you be of your religion, so they will be using their own councillors to help speed up the process. That said, the conversion process is legit pretty slow; sometimes if I have a surplus Learning perk I'll get the faster county convert one just to speed things up.

Seems to go much faster when the title holders are Christian. I Empried' into Hispania and found that when I gave up the kingdom of Valencia it turned over pretty quickly?  Though fervor of christendom plays a big part. Early on I was plagued with lots of hereseys because of idiot popes, a successful crusade that somehow dropped fervor below 30%

funny story I fabricated a claim on my liege's title (kingdom of East Francia) Before I could finish my plan, my ruler died. The claim passed onto his heir but now it was unpressed - the clock was ticking. I rushed Kidnapping and abducted the king. Sadly, I forgot to check my heir's traits....turns out he was Paranoid He gained so much stress from seizing all those titles he instantly had a heart attack and died

It’s not even 1200 yet and I’m not sure I can convert all these counties before 1453. Sounds like it's too late for you now, but the One Weird Trick to converting counties speedily is to take as many unlanded male captives of the enemy religion as possible during the war. Then release them from prison in exchange for Recruit and a Hook (NOT conversion yet). Then give them the county you just took and THEN use the hook to demand conversion. They will almost always accept and when they do if their religion matches that of the county, the whole county will instantly convert as well.

It’s not even 1200 yet and I’m not sure I can convert all these counties before 1453. The main problem is fervor differences between faiths drops your rate of conversion and Catholicism seems to have major fervor problems compared to Islamic faiths due to many factors, one of which is probably because Islamic faiths tend to be clan government and use Conquest CBs, while Catholics are more likely to use Holy War CBs. The trick Hargrimm explained is your best bet, having vassals that match the county's faith and demanding their conversion will convert their capital along with the character. Using a hook helps.

I found it oddly moving to get the “I will die within a year” premonition on my character. I played him from age 0 due to him being a last second pregnancy of my previous king who died unexpectedly right after. He was never meant to be the heir, but since I played him as an infant, I was able to shape him into something roughly like I’d want him to be. He had a 67 year reign. When I got the notice that he was going to die, I just stopped all the longer term projects I had going on. Made sure my orphaned granddaughter and ward was educated and married to someone nice. Her dad was my original choice for heir until his education was mediocre and then he wound up getting two of his kids killed in a stupid vassal war he started. So I spent the next few years seizing counties and sending him on solo runs at the army to punish him until he wound up on the wrong end of a sword. I genuinely did not expect to feel this affected by this game. Pandemic depression or just regular parasocial brain fuckery, who knows

I just had a holy war end inconclusively because the ruler died and his heir was my religion. I get it but... ugh, come on. The piety I spent is lost and I got jack poo poo out of it.

If you’re the target of a holy war and you have enough piety, you actually get an alert in the suggestions box, “Convert to the attacker’s religion and we can put this all behind us, no harm no foul.” It’s pretty neat.

I started playing as the king of Scotland, thinking that that's also a fairly noob friendly start. Some Duke with claims on my kingdom took it from me. I was still his vassal so I took some other counties and built up my army. Just after he won a de jure war on another duchy I pressed my claim for the kingdom. I won and have another duchy, thanks dude! When my ruler died I started playing as some other idiot. I'm doing mostly fine, but Lapland took like 2 duchies from me  Also all my kids seem to die, there's someone plotting against me but I have no idea who. This game is so much fun!

What does the Reaver trait do if you can't raise an army as raiders? I'm very confused by its existence but I probably don't understand how the raid mechanics work.

Not sure if it's been mentioned yet, but a heads-up for anyone who bought the Game Pass version of CK3. I got an email today saying that GamePass is exiting beta next month, so the price is going up. New price is $10.95 AUD for me, not sure how that'll convert into local currencies.
