there are 8760 hours in a calendar year. so for comparison a person who lives to a ripe old age will sleep 220000 hours in life toto

I mean they didn't have electric lighting so they only could work a few hours most days before it got too dark to see.

Also they had like a hundred holidays per year what with all the saints days and what not

I'll bet you some serf had 10k hours of backgammon under his belt.

basic problem is that malnutrition gives you organic brain damage

observation 1: force multipliers are exactly that, multipliers, they're nonlinear
observation 2: cascaded multiplication of force multipliers engendered some of the most dramatic poo poo that has ever happened at war. thermopylae was a cascade of force multipliers: rorke's drift, agincourt, you want some agincourt poo poo
observation 3: video game designers never cascade force multipliers, like the cowards that they are

related observation: peeps wanna be dwarf fortress but they don't wanna do no dwarf fortress poo poo

final power = var1 * constant + var2 * constant + var3 * constant is not force multipliers,

final power = var1 * var2 * var3 * constant is force multipliers

I'm very very curious to see how this works with the melting pot cultures (and cultures that should be melting pots but aren't).


Also :lol: at one giving a 10% MaA discount, that's a big rear end bonus right there.

i mean, there's pretty op religion tenets too. "hey have this real good cheap cb" "heres a really great way to disinherit children without them trying to kill you too much" etc etc

matilda, marry fertile man, befriend pope or get hook on pope to request claim on duchy of lombardy. once you get kingdom and have like 4 kids its just waiting for the exponential explosion of kids. holy order is straightforward then

wording of cheevo kinda makes it sound like you need to do it all in matildas lifetime, but this is not the case

They really need to add in more options to make the game more difficult in the game settings. I don't know why there isn't a way to severely limit the number of vassals and the demesne size a character can have. (The current demesne rules dont limit it enough)The de jure liege system doesn't give enough penalties. I think there is a restricted diplomatic range, but it feels less restricted than CK2.

They should put in a mode where death, fertility ages and lifespan are in line with the actual medieval world. Also, I don't know why they took disease off the map, they feel like nothing now. I loved watching the plague creep towards Europe when I was playing CK2.

Taking away the random aspect of fabricating claims makes them much less frustrating, but it also makes it way too easy to fabricate claims and to expand. They should put in options to limit the amount of claim fabrication that can be done in a certain amount of time.

Basically, the game just needs more options to be good IMO. Right now, it's fun for a little bit until you become decent at it in any way, then it becomes trivial.
 

Hopefully its different enough that it doesn't feel just like Iberia. The main problem I have with CK3 is the everywhere feels the same.

mod for the demesne, mod for the fatality rate, mod for the plague, mod for whacking claims. etc etc. also inherichance. 6-10 mods together can make this a murderously hard game
