After the amount of time I spent in CK2 the past two years, and having recently built a rig that can actually play CK3 to it's fullest, my hype levels are overwhelming. Reading about it being more rpg-like than CK2 is so far up my alley, I love constructing my narrative and I'm seeing that I'm getting everything I want. My modlist and DLC have been integrated into the base game.

Qubee posted:Is there a more manipulative and sinister way I can revoke their title without creating heavy opinion losses or other negative effects? Someone said something about imprisoning them first to avoid the negative stuff. I may be wrong, but I've been fabricating claims on counties I want that are controlled by others. Especially within my realm. It's worked for me that when I revoke their title, because I have a valid claim, there's no penalty except for possible rebellion. When you win that war, they are traitors and in your dungeon and you can take their title. I guess it's like plot to revoke from CKII? I only discovered that like a month ago.

redcheval posted:Is there a way to choose where mercenaries populate on your map? I'll amass my armies close to the enemy target but mercenaries always seem to uselessly pop up at my capital no matter what. To your first question, do you have multiple rally points in play? I've only ever had one in play, or created one and chosen "Raise All Here" on that specific point. To your second question, if you hold ctrl and click to move the stack, they will immediately begin to march. If you only click to move they will fully assemble and then march. A difference of a month or more.

Hyper Crab Tank posted:Also, be aware that all your men-at-arms and your commander will instantly teleport to wherever you're raising your army, so if you're fighting a small war and don't need levies, you can basically start fighting day one by moving the rally point as close as possible, raising armies, and ctrl-clicking all while the game is paused. It feels kinda cheap, to be honest. This is how I took the HRE in my game. After a 60 year long adventure of marriage, my new emperor had a claim to the HRE from his mother, a princess. When she finally died, and the claim was his, the HRE had moved their capital to a county BORDERING my empire. I was trivial to say the least, taking it.

Got a situational question I need some help on. I'm playing an Ironman game, where I directly own the northern half of Ireland and am the Queen of Ireland, the Brian family maintains their duchy of mumu as my vassals to the south and it includes the duchy of leinster. Now my issue is that I just put down a rebellion by the duke of mercia, who directly owns most of the duchy. In addition he also owns most of northern england, and he brought another countess into the rebellion. Normally I would just revoke all their lands and be done with it, but my ruler is just and generous, so each revocation comes with +60 stress. If they sit in my dungeon I know they won't join factions, but will they still be traitors if my current character dies? Will my heir be able to revoke all their titles? I've done very well for myself this game, and actually fell upwards into my heir's heir being heir to the kingdom of wales. Not sure what to do here. Except that I have all the leverage.

sloppy portmanteau posted:What's the most efficient way to deal with this situation? I have the Empire of Alba, and claims on all of the land belonging to Norway, formerly Kingdom of Danelaw. But it looks like the fastest way to reclaim all of Britania is to wage 8 Seize De Jure Duchy wars, which would just take way too long with the constant truce. I have the "Divine Right" innovation but that works only on "Your Claims" Can you fabricate a hook on a potential diplomat councilor nearby that you can get into your court to raise the chance of the truce ending? Also you can murder kings to nullify the truce as well.

Daktar posted:Okay how do I arrange things so I can revoke a title without tyranny? I've got a heretic Duke, demanded his conversion, he refused, I imprisoned him with no issues, but I still get a tyranny penalty if I revoke. Keep him in jail and use your bishop to get a claim. He can't do anything in prison, and once you have the claim you'll be able to revoke without tyranny.

What an upstart vassal this was. She fabricated a claim on my drat kingdom while having the Duchy of Ulster taken out from under her. I took back Ailech from Lappland, and moved on to vassalize her, which she accepted. Then I gave her Ailech because I didn't need it and she hits me with this a year or two later to get rid of the hook. What a jerk! My character was unfortunately too nice to not let it slide because the stress would've been too much but man. Made me go after that Duchy earlier than I wanted to. She should've been more aware that I was still 3 counties below my domain limit.

If you mouseover the heart icon in old age you’ll see that the character might be ailing or have penalties. I had a character that was ailing for a decade before the game pinged to say death in a year.

buglord posted:How do I avoid the situation where my current heir isn’t part of my dynasty? This seems to happen every time I convert to a custom religion with equal gender laws/norms. It’s pretty frustrating and I can’t really tell where along the line I made the “mistake” of proposing a marriage which would result in a non dynasty heir. It happened to me when I made my faith equal gender laws, and my first daughter was normal married. If you want your faith to be equal then you really have to be on top of your kids. This has to be the best attempt at painting a realm in this game so far.

Well then some dude beat him and he went to severely wounded, then dead. RIP. At least he had two very young children and I have one child too so things could be worse. It's not the worst, because usually when I play the tutorial I try to skip over Brian and make a new heir with better qualities. My ideal succession is King to Grandson, with them hopefully already of age.

I made duchy of Meath but seems I can't grant it to my granddaughter because I need to be the king of Ireland first.. and I need 500 gold for that. Yeah you might want to get those back. Keep an eye on the top right number, that’s your domain limit. If you’re at 1/6 or 2/5, you might want to consider solidifying your position and holding them all directly. The knock on benefit is that you get more levies, gold, and prestige. Once you are High King, you can hand out dukedoms no problem, but before then if any of your vassals get enough money or army they will come after independence so they can create their title, should they own the de jure territory for the title.

minema posted:Any recommendations for a good start of somewhere I can just build my realm and spread my dynasty across the world? Don't really want to do much invading or anything, more focus on the bloodline side of things and get my family as important people everywhere It's way overplayed and oversuggested but Ireland fits the bill too well. Only 7 counties needed for a Kingdom and then 5 or 6 more to own the entire island. You can convert to Catholicism and Crusade, you can marry your kids off to other rulers and grow your dynasty outside your borders, and there's really not too much in the way of you doing all that. You can start with a weaker character than Murchad and ramp the difficulty up. I once as Earl of Leinster had to swear fealty to Wales, England and Scotland to be able to come out on top of Ireland.

Trevor Hale posted:What’s some advice for breaking up a powerful vassal? I am king of England, Wales, and soon to be Ireland, but one of my dukes has 7 duchies. 5 of them have their own inheritance rules (which is how I think they’ll all wind up going to his primary heir). Murdering won’t help, since the heir will be as powerful as he is. Can you kill the heir? Can you get a hook on the guy and imprison him while you make claims? I'd honestly try to murder the heir, and then acquire claims, at least one, to provoke him to revolt, you'd be able to revoke it all once his a traitor.

 Imnimo on reddit posted:This is an analysis of the life span and cause of death of all characters in a 600-year-long game of CK3. I wrote a simple (in other words, lazy) script to pull out birth dates, death dates, and cause of death for all characters in the save file. CK3 assigns each character a single cause of death, regardless of how many contributing conditions they may have had. Each potential cause of death is given a priority value, which roughly corresponds to how severe it is. When a character dies, they're assigned the highest priority cause of death that applies to them. So if you have bubonic plague and also depression, your cause of death will be plague, even though both health penalties contributed. sullat posted:What it really needs is a pop-up blocker or something. When I'm mass ransoming 50 prisoners I don't want to hear their parting shot, just let it go to voicemail. Really wants me to do mass execute instead so I don't have to deal with the pop-up. I was hoping for a 10 > 1 mod or something, where if multiples of the same popup appear they merge and just say "x6." Or even better would be geographically based notifications, so if you're looking at the paper map you see the popup appear over the location of the event.

I got a little bored of the North Korea run I had after pinching most of France away in Holy Wars for Duchies, so I saved the game as a fork, and hit switch character to observe. I let the AI dole out the titles, all 240 of them, and go at x6 speed. When it blew past the end date I was giddy because I didn't realize I had that turned off, and here's the Dynasty ~150 years or so later. When I let go of the wheel, I wasn't sure it would all hold together but the AI gave a ton of titles out to dynasty members and it all worked out.

Speaking of genetics, I am alarmed at the overall success of marrying my cousins, or marrying cousins, in my Rostislav of Moravia 867 run. I married him to a Genius and our only child was a Genius and since that one heir, I've had a number of Geniuses pop out of a pairing of a Quick + Intelligent Cousin pairing. It's 1088 now and my current heir is a Genius from one such pairing. I've only had 2 negative traits appear and that was Wheezing and Bleeder on one daughter that I married into West Francia for a little genetic warfare.

I've got a really fun tall game going as the Doux of Sicily. Started in 867 as the Count of Syracusa, the only non-muslim on the island. Took it all and then some by 1066, and now I am the Despot (King) of Sicily. I've never been a King vassal of an Emperor (Byzantine) though, and was expecting issues. Instead the Emperor granted me all my de jure vassals. I think I want to start an Independence faction but not really sure how to go about doing it where I don't get crushed, even though I might actually give my 18k army a shot vs Byz 30k. Should I fabricate hooks on the strongest vassals to force them to join my Independence Faction? Mostly I've just been trying to fly under the radar and grow Sicilian culture but being able to throw the yoke of control is enticing. e: I also meant to mention that for some reason the Emperor personally holds the Doux of Calabria, which is my de jure land, is there anyway I can persaude the emperor to give me that too? Briefly it was a vassal, when the previous owner passed I'm pretty sure succession split the titles and a prince inherited it but I couldn't move on it because he became emperor too quickly. I could also just bide my time and make a move the next time a succession occurs. Just so many options! Blimpkin fucked around with this message at 14:29 on Oct 5, 2020 |
