I'm not exactly sure what is the point of temporarily gating cosmetics in a primarily single player game, but I might try to knock out the last few points I need for Joan of Arc tonight.

Prism posted:I also went into the military tab, made a men at arms unit of onagers and proceeded to break into the castle with them. Worked perfectly and they were very handy for attacking elsewhere too. So you either didn't form the Kingdom of Ireland, or you didn't take the automatically provided option to switch to tanistry? Anyway: something appears to be even more hosed than usual as my spymaster informs me that one of my courtiers is her own bastard daughter. Unbelievable isn't the half of it, Ragnvald. It's actually a bug - according to the hook Finneacht has a bastard child with Muirchertach, but for some reason it's reporting her as the child.

Prism posted:I did not yet have all the territory to form the Kingdom of Ireland. Was a couple short. You don't need all the territory to form a de jure kingdom, just 51% of the counties. That's seven in Ireland. The easiest way to do it as Murchad is to press your de jure claim to the south, then take Connacht and Briefne through fabricated claims to form the second Duchy you need for the kingdom. It's possible to then take the Duchy of Ulster entire if you have good allies - getting William the Bastard on side is an option - but it's easier to snip off Athlone and Ossory. Their duchies are split with the double-count of Leinster and Dublin, which is why you grab the duchy that you can make without warring on a Duke. Once you've done that, convert to Catholicism through one of your wives. You can now ask the Pope for cash, generally somewhere around 200 gold, which is almost 25% of the money you need to form two duchies and the kingdom. Getting the rest of the land is trivial after that as the count of Dublin and Leinster is also Catholic and will accept vassalisation, and the Duke of Ulster will either do likewise or you will have at least twice his levies in your own domain.

FizFashizzle posted:Ireland is generally the sandbox. Ireland is the microcosm. There'll be just as much war, it'll just be smaller wars. In CK2 I would have suggested a merchant republic but they're not yet playable in CK3. Without that option I would agree with luxury handset that being a vassal is the best place to be. The best situation would be a duke-level title in the Holy Roman Empire or the Abbasid blob - the Muslim duke just south of Afghanistan used to be an amazingly safe place to be because the Indians never seemed to come west, but that may have changed.

Catalina posted:I haven’t checked closely in CKIII to see if it matches, but in CK2, you could join wars but not do anything and get 0% participation bonus, and you wouldn’t get a hit to relationship. The only drawbacks were that enemy troops could still siege your counties (very low likelihood), enemy troops were hostile, and you couldn’t do peacetime events until the war was over. This has changed. You can get away with joining from your armchair once or twice, but after that your ally says "motherfucker, are you going to get off your rear end or what?" You then have a choice of three options - rack up 100 contribution points within a year or lose prestige, give him a sum of money to help with the war, or break the alliance.

Friar John posted:So I decided to start as William the Bastard, and I'm starting to notice some annoying things with the war AI. I was able to beat Godwinson with my Danish and French allies in 3 years, sure, but when I took over England and had to face Hardrada, it took another 6 years or something of counter-sieging and ping-ponging his armies up and down Britain. I just couldn't kill enough of his guys each time we met, so he'd run away, get his morale back up, then come roaring back to siege some poo poo while I was unsieging some town. That began to feel tedious, near the end. Was I just being inefficient? I hadn't spent money on mercs or MaAs yet, because I didn't know how things were going to go. It also seems like the real move for William is just wait until the Harolds fight each other a few times, then come in to hit the winner. Hmmm, where have I heard that one before. In the actual historical narrative, which is why you should have considered trying that first.

BurntCornMuffin posted:My latest ruler caught smallpox early on, but the "medicine" he was given made him into an insane cannibal. He loved going on crusades to pick up lots of Muslim children to eat, even if they did make him sick fairly frequently. Of all the things I thought they might include in CK3, I didn't think the aftereffects of a dodgy takeaway would be among them. Serious question: is there a setting I can turn down somewhere that will stop the game thrashing my PC so much? I've had no CTDs, but one full shutdown.

Omnicarus posted:On another note though, Military Academies + Gallant perk on knight effectiveness let's you field some Greek Epic level champions. You can get up to 200% effectiveness with those and a few other lucky perks and the power level does not seem to be a linear increase at all. My 9 champions frequently kill or maim all the opposing knights without much of a fuss and inflict absurd losses on levies. I just saw a streamer have two of his berserkers rip the head off the same man. Perhaps they were made differently in the 9th century. I will attest, though, that one of those berserkers racked up 138 personal kills in a battle that had fewer than 2000 men on each side. That's not Greek epic, that's Celtic myth. Presumably he did not think it too many.

I was watching Arumba stream as Gotland the other day and the same thing was happening there. First his 26 Martial marshal tried to seduce the Duke, then one after another he kept catching his champions in flagrante - usually with each other. Also they all seemed to be berserkers. It was like a Norse version of the Sacred Band.

TGLT posted:You don't have to disinherit every generation, but it's nice to speed up getting that strengthen blood decision by skipping bad heirs and it's handy to keep your important counties in your control if expansion isn't really an option. I haven't had a non-genius ruler since 910 thanks to it. Plus honestly Renown isn't that hard to come by as time goes on. The dumb thing about Renown is that you only get it for independent rulers. So your dynasty is more renowned if members are duke-level vassals in half a dozen different kingdoms than it is if you become emperor of the entire world. E: In my current Bastard Bill game my aging emperor saw his mediocre son and his even more mediocre grandson murdered within the space of a year by persons unknown, leaving his 8 year old great-grandson as heir. Someone had a cunning plan, alright. It's been a weird game all around. Baldrick is now my fourth ruler in the game, and so far everyone has outlived their own eldest son.

The one thing that I want added to this game above all others is to have pins pass to successors. I'm getting sick of having to remove pins from dead people then find the inheritor to pin them again. CK2 followed the Pope and character heirs that way, taking it out was a major backstep.

Strudel Man posted:I don't know if it actually reduces fertility at all in CK3. At least, there's nothing about it in the defines file, where a bunch of other basic fertility modifiers can be found. I'm pretty sure that it doesn't. I've had any number of pregnant wives in their 40s in CK3. My previous ruler's wife did have three miscarriages in a row, though, which is a dose of realism that frankly I could do without.

space uncle posted:I played as her when she was in her 60s and tried to lose weight, she stayed fat the rest of her life. I can't recall if it was mentioned here, but the full details of why weight loss isn't working have been discovered. The decision procs only once every three years and when it succeeds - which it won't always - you lose 4 weight units. Every time you go to a feast, whether you're hosting it or not, you automatically gain 4 weight units. Basically, to have any chance of losing Obese you need to instantly take the decision as soon as you get the trait and stop going to any feasts ever because just one can set you back ten years.
