CK2 is my favorite paradox game and pretty much everything I saw about CK3 looks good. I can't wait to backstab and kinslay.

Anyone have their first game planned yet? I think I'm going to try being one of the Viking invaders of England in the early start, it seems like a good chance to test out the new religion mechanics in a relatively, but not entirely, isolated position. My traditional warm-up of Irish petty king -> high king -> crusader king can wait until the second go-round.

Tutorial (Ireland), then I will try some pagan tribal ruler (maybe Norse or whatever is it called in CK3) which I will probably find to be quite hectic. Then maybe Bengal in India, because it was usually quite chill.

Wasn't there a DD or a Q&A where they said the Byzantines have a simplified inheritance structure right now, and expanding that is going to come in a DLC where their goal is to get it much better than CK2 did?

Seeing Byzantines and simplified in one sentence feels unnatural.

I was too busy playing this game to post about it. Well, if I say playing, I mean staring at map for a good while trying to pick some ruler and then mainly losing to some mercenary-using neighbor few years after the start.

It seems commanders might more often die in battles and taking hostages events happen far more often, most wars in my close vicinity were won in this way. And I miss "falsely adopt faith", oh well.

Also, tooltips not staying so I can read them was making me mad for a while.

Go into game and do character search for female rulers and sort by rank. In 867 there's seven:
Nelnesla, a duke in Tibet
Anava, Pemka, and Yalgava are finnic pagans
Sarica is a Bashkir Tengrist
Daurama is the Hausa chieftess of Kano
and Audr is the christian chieftess of Vestisland in Iceland

In 1066 there's a bunch so I'm not gonna list em.

Daurama is also among suggested rulers

I found that playing Pagan in 867 Burma is rather good start for getting hang of the game. You start with one duchy and you are stronger than your neighbors, so you can safely expand while tending to other stuff.

Can someone explain succession to me?

I'm in the default, Confederate Partition. I have a kingdom title, 2 duchies, and about 7 counties. I changed the kingdom to Tanistry Elective by decision, my designated heir is getting the most votes but I'm still losing a duchy and related counties to multiple heirs. Do I have to change the succession laws for each title I own? That's a lot of prestige

Yes, Elective is Title succession, it only applies to specific titles, while partitions etc. are Realm succession, they apply to your whole realm and all titles.

This might be dumb question, but what happens to prestige and piety after your character dies? Does an heir benefit in any way from previous ruler's prestige and piety?

Workaround to Ambitious stress is you don't take any hit if you give titles out to pre existing vassals. It's creating new ones that's the problem. Having gigantic vassals in itself can be a problem of course but that's Ambitous for ya.

I would like to know logic behind this. Thanks, I was unaware of this, I was usually giving titles to some unlanded lowborn randoms too.

Battles can be quite lucrative for piety (note this was a bit of an exceptional battle results may vary)

It seems to me the easiest way to get lots of prestige/piety is just to fight a lot, battles themselves can be quite lucrative. Though I think to get piety you need to fight infidels. Not necessarily in a holy war, just fight people of other faiths.

Slaughter indeed.

I wanted to make me 6th or 7th child my primary heir. I set all my previous children as knights/champions and sent them into a battle. Most of them died in one battle or were imprisoned and quickly died in prison. That instantly gave me a lot of stress. Firstborn remained, I was really old and really loved by my vassals, so I just imprisoned and executed her (I had some reason for imprisonment, but I was also forgiving... oops, level 3 stress). Then I realized that my current heir is my grand-grandson and firstborn's grandson and of different dynasty. I killed that child, then her parent or maybe her cousin, who knows and then I gave up. I just wish I understood succession more before I did all of this, lol.

I'm up to my fifth (?) character, and I'm just now noticing that, in addition to everything else, there's height. I mean, giants and dwarfs are things, but there's also just ordinary, "some folks are taller than other folks" height. Just because my current king is like, over a head smaller than his father, and looks sort of silly in his armor.

I also don't usually do the "hunt down good genetics for the best traits" thing, but when telling to arrange by alliance power, I notice that one of the most powerful guys I can matrilineally betroth my genius, hale daughter to is himself beautiful..... well, it's really not the sort of opportunity you back away from, now, is it?

I noticed this too on main screen, my current dynasty is almost dwarfish compared to previous one. And when I see potential spouse with good traits that looks like Dolores Umbridge, I rather find someone else.

I abducted my liege thinking I will be able to take his duchy title from him in negotiation or something. But options were still the same, gain weak hook, convert etc., pretty disappointing. So I ransomed him, he was left with 0 gold and I immediately declared war on his title, because I said something funny to pope and he liked me enough to grant me claim on it. Him being financially ruined gave a bit of an advantage at least, I guess.

I found some guide that says I can plan abduction and shortly before it fires declare war on the target, abduct him(or her) and immediately get 100% war score from abduction.

After decades I was months away from gaining one remaing holy site to finally reform my pagan faith, but my ruler contracted bubonic plague and suddenly died even though he had herbalist trait and was cured from it by his physician. *sigh* I think I will play something else for a while. Btw, it also killed my heir's genius wife.
