Frog Act posted:any tips? what am I missing? I could never get through the irish king campaign in CK2, either, largely for the same reasons, though this seems to have less "wait around doing nothing and hoping an event with some significance fires" going on I'm talking out of my rear end because I've not actually done this in CK3, but if you've vanquished the army of that county, return your troops to your territory and have them stand down. Wait a few months (levee's will replenish X amount per month, you can also use your mashal to increase this) until you have enough troops to comfortably siege down that holding. No need to peace out or anything. Keep an eye on what your enemy is up to in case they try to raise an army and march in before you can raise your troops.

Goddammit. Become King of Ireland, but before I could get the whole island sneaky Scotland snatches up Dublin and Leinster  Ah well. Tooltip tells me to try fabb'in a claim on Galloway who is similarly sized independent nation so I do so. While the claim is getting fabricated the King of Scotland suggests we ally and I think that is a fine idea. Like, seconds before I declare war on galloway Scotland has a revolt, Galloway instantly allies with the revolt, England falls to Denmark, Sweden allies with the small Scottish revolt. I declare war anyways, not realizing that Scotland has a truce with Galloway so I'm on my own against Galloway + Sweden + Scot Revolt. Then Ormond revolts against me to try and become part of my "ally" Scotland, and Ormond is allied with Whales. And to cap it all off Scotland decides is a fine loving time to declare war on Denmark (formerly england) and asks me to join that war, I accept needing every body I can get. So I take care of Galloway, but soon comes the Sweden + Whales + Denmark + Scot Revolt + Irish Revolt pain train. They just all b-line for my counties while Scotland whines that I'm not helping him. He gets a big boost by England revolting against Denmark but by that time I lost all 3 wars. Came out surprisingly well, just lost some gold and prestige, and one county to my loving ally I'm loving coming for you, scotland.

But really the emphasis of the game is not reducing enemy troops to zero. Break the army, siege holdings and enforce your demands > spending forever chasing retreats. If you have the numbers you can split your army, siege with one and defend/pursue if it is necessary I guess one advantage to chasing down armies is getting prisoners or wounding commanders

Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:This is bad advice imo. Defeating armies gives lots of war score, and if you let them live, they'll just counter-siege you and cancel out your warscore while also reducing your control over your land. It's better to just kill them outright and then lay siege to their land. You are right if the armies are large enough to siege your holdings, I guess my answer is in context of Ireland where when unifying the isle most battles are one-and-done

Unlucky7 posted:So I am guessing that going for King of Ireland after the tutorial is a good first game? I will see how far I go. It is, conquering and uniting Ireland can easily be done. However it seems like mainland england/scotland/wales have stronger holdings and it can be a bit harder to push into the bigger island if everything is stable. Also they will happily boat over. Also, on casus belli You can fab claims on your own vassals too, and revoke titles without being a tyrant. Downside is that it increases dread, and you have a chance of getting a trait that lowers all vassal opinions, or just one specific vassal. What wasn't apparent to me was if you do revoke the title and war with your vassal, and win, you'll imprison him and you have to revoke it again when he's behind bars before the county/earldom becomes yours

Frog Act posted:I’m also spending gold on buildings in my cities that provide tax income, is that a good expenditure of resources? I think my problem with CK is I feel like my path to progress is never as clearly delineated as it was in Victoria where I had historical goals rather than personal ones (grab spheres to form Germany, etc) so in CK where the focus is so distinctly on other things I feel a bit wandering I got to a period where everything around me was pretty stable and I spent all my time consolidating my power. By building and upgrading my holdings over about 20 years I was able to go from 3 gold/month to over 10, and raised my levies from 2000ish to 3800. I will note I also took this time to fabricate claims on my own vassals and take their Earldoms for myself, as well as ensure my son would would be chosen through tanistry by stab stab & getting hooks by uncovering secrets. Tanistry seems much easier when you hold most the earldoms of your kingdom When my ruler died my son was in a great position to fend off the shitstorm since everybody hates him.

Also, they may outnumber the enemy but troop quality, composition, and terrain plays a bigger roll here than CK2, I learned this trying to attack the welsh while they were camping on a mountain with half the number of my troops, but better quality Willfrey fucked around with this message at 00:05 on Sep 3, 2020 |

It really behooves you to have alliances. Especially if you have big neighbors. Keep an eye their kids and arrange betrothals and marriages to keep yourself safe. loving saved my bacon when Scots + Norway tried to get frisky with me and England managed to squash them both

I've kicked scotland off the emerald isle, taken over whales. My daughter is married to the King of England (who keeps dragging me into wars over some godforsaken spit of land in scandinavia) England is my bro, he conquered Norway and Denmark and always has my back. The scottish-frankish-iberian power block has been tough to crack, but thousands are dying in chipping away at scottish territory. But man, Scotland just seems to have my number even if I'm winning wars. he just uncovered that my son and heir is the product of my wife cheating on me with the bishop. I've already imprisoned and tortured him, but now I gotta decide if I keep it up with my true bloodline or just stay with the bastard heir who has pretty good stats. My other sons are dolts Next succession is going to be a rough one, but definitely keeps the game interesting

Mr Luxury Yacht posted:The malus for a powerful vassal not having a seat on the council is real frustrating. -40 is brutal. it is annoying, but also it gives you a reason to actually have powerful vassals who have lots of holdings rather than giving your titles to twenty pushover dolts in hopes you or your heir can gobble them up if needbe I often find myself befriending/swaying those unhappy vassals, usually the dullards are easy to sway

Deltasquid posted:Marry into his family, or you can unlock a perk in the diplomat lifestyle to propose alliances to people even without marriage. However, if your spymaster (or anyone, really) is getting ganked you can offer to join his war via the diplo menu even without any alliance. To add, it's a pretty good idea to keep an eye on your neighbor's ruler (or power vassals with lots of holding) especially if they are more powerful than you. On my Irish run I kept a close eye on England and kept betrothing my daughters to his sons, and my sons to his daughters. Together we crushed all opposition. Was kinda annoying constantly sending my army out to some godforsaken frozen waste of Sweden to support his wars, but I never felt threatened from the outside either

Orcs and Ostriches posted:You generally don't want any one vassal to be too powerful. Give two of those provinces to two assholes. Give your brother the last county and the dutchy to rule over them. My strategy is to find somebody (preferably of my bloodline/succession line) with good stats, and have him be the main dutchy holder, and then place people that do not like me and/or are idiots within the other counties of that dutchy, getting them out of my court I want dutchy-holding vassals with good stats so I can throw them on the council. Granted its a roll of the dice who will succeed them but generally I feel strong characters have a better chance to yield strong heirs who can serve you as well. I've really had to break myself of the vassal-management that CK2 taught me

what the gently caress. My 10-year-old first born son (and potential heir) somehow wound up as ruler of a neighboring kingdom's barony?????? I don't see any family ties, and I've never ruled this part of the map before. My wife was a lowborn so I'm not really sure how this happened? What the gently caress? Did I miss some event? I only noticed because I was about to give him a recently conquered part of Scotlandd and realized he wasn't in my court. I can't see any avenue to get him back...

It may be possible that your son was taken prisoner by someone and then was recruited into that character's court. No, my only thoughts is somebody had a kidnap scheme and vassalized him (doubtful as his liege is like 4 intrigue) Or I speed clicked something bad, but no idea how he ended up a baron if I warded him off. Dunno how his liege would even be in the running as he was unrelated as far as I could tell. Maybe I warded to a cortiere with good stats that changed courts? I have no idea. Hardly matters now, when I started warring England to take control of his county he mysterious died  Probably for the better, he ended up with lovely stats anyhow

OK it just happened again to another one of my sons. Same loving county, same barony, thankfully this time it wasn't my heir but as before he isn't in my court anymore. BUT i did figure out how it happened I sort of. Under his relationships tab it shows him as a guardian to a guest in said county's court. I never manually assigned a guardian to this son, it just automatically did this poo poo. What the gently caress? Why did it automatically do this? A guardian runs off with my son to my biggest enemy, and that guy grants him a barony and locks him out of my court? Man gently caress this bitch she's getting a stabbing. This is super loving annoying because I am divvying up recently conquered scotland to my sons and it keeps robbing them.

Yeah this is buggy as poo poo. It showed him as a traveling guest in my court. I then assassinated his 'guardian' who was a guest in said court. Now he doesn't show up at all in my court screen. I then tried to revoke his title (they dynastic option was available) and it hit me with the -50 opinion but he did not relinquish his title. I'm now going to war with the county I'll see how it unfolds.... Edit: Conquored county, son remained as baron, now under my control. All's well that ends well I guess.
