Does the Seljuk invasion ever succeed? Byz feels stronger than I was thinking it would be.
>>1863580Don't think I've seen it yet, and more often than not the Seljuks seem to spontaneously blow up because of dissolve factions.
Go back to /gsg/.

Currently playing as an orthodox Oghuz adventurer, doing mainly merc work. Year is around 950. Should i settle in Egypt or Sri Lanka? Will it be hard to stay as an orthodox in India?
>>1863681Generals are now allowed now. The jannies have decided.
just got 3k gold for the mercenary contract in italy
Administration is boring because you have to keep doing the same schemes over and over again and the ui sucks
>>1863686when I'm playing as a Christian in india I usually end up converting to Nestorian, there's a holy site and it makes some historical sense
right... i don't even have the gamerule on and theres a lesbian marriage where one of them is heterosexual
I've played 50 years as a greek vassal and I don't see the fun in this administrative shit. Most of your time is just navigating through the shitty menus to do a shitty scheme while the empire starts imploding because everyone is scheming against each other
>>1864112I played a little bit as the emperor but I don't really understand it, it looks like you can revoke shit and depose governors with no relations penalty, I ended up with a bunch of mad landless noble houses but who knows what they can do
>>1864099communist indoctrination
>>1864112It's pretty silly. Because you're not constantly wasting your influence on stupid shit like the AI you can just save yours up and use it on out bidding other families for a governorship. Was able to have brothers and nephews appointed easily by just looking for old/dying governors and out bidding the competition. Burned more influence to become Co-Emperor and more still to become Emperors heir. Also the estate building for the private study is broken, build it and you can educate anyone to be a maxed out strategos. I had to stop for work but I am hoping that keeping the position of Emperor is going to be tricky at least. Managing powerful families and Theme focuses might be cool.
They have still not fixed this bug
I still don't know when to use promote culture or when to use promote cultural acceptance. What should i use when i play as a foreign invader? (e.g vikings in africa)
>>1864112I did a run as an adventurer and was able to get my kids governing themes and catepanates in one life because of influence
>>1864137Do you want to become afro-norse or turn everyone white?
>>1864137Cultural acceptance is making sure you're on friendly terms with the other culture. Good if you want to make a hybrid culture. Promote culture is forcing them adopt your culture.
>Finally inherit Rome after previous emperor does everything in his power to fuck it up>The events leading up to my assassination of the previous emperor caused me to go into debt>It costs 5k influence mana and 5k piety mana to make the empire officially christian again>Half of the vassals are muslims and half of asian minor has been converted to islamWhat a cool little challenge

>>1864190giwtwm
>>1864174why is your character black
>>1864199She is tanned, like most greeks
>>1864190depends, do you like being a landless adventurer or the byzantines? Then yes.
This expansion really shines a light on how shitty mending the schism is. We'd need more complex mechanics to make it really work but having it be like>Yeah everyone gets a chance to convert also the pope is angry and will declare crusades on you nowIs just dumb. A system where there can be several "branches" of the same religion, and then you can move, for example, catholicism and all its "branches" under Orthodox would probably be the best system. It would also fix the horribly buggy Rite tenet
mods to make Greeks white?
Is AGOT interesting at all like mechanics wise if I don't know the lore/characters?
>>1864259not really
>>1864141If you make a hybrid culture with Norse or any other European culture with a non European culture it leads to the ethnicity being 90% European anyway as seen here >>1864136
>>1864199>>1864200>>1864201You can literally see that OP bred started with Daura and inherited the byzantine empire after mixing with a greek family
Why are there STILL not mods that make Wasteland provinces stay uncolored? It was a game rule in CK2
>>1864338Anon it's only been like 4 days since you last complained about this.
Should I change my dynasty name from "Väse" to "de Väse" to further accent the transformation to French?
>>1864339What of it?
>>1864341Is Vase an actual place?Adding de doesn't make much sense unless you also transcribe the pronunciation of the name to whatever flavor of French you're supposed to be speakingAlso I just realized it do CK3 dynasties even have those kinds of prefixes? It uses "Normandie" and "Este" instead of "de Normandie" and "D'Este" doesn't it?
>>1864346de just means "of," while typically referring to a physical location I think it still works as just a family name. Plus it sounds nice.>Is Vase an actual place?No, I started as a Norseman in Western Sweden. I thought the dynasty sounded vaguely French and resembled a cross. I had a post about a number of dynasties I had been looking at for this campaign.>Also I just realized it do CK3 dynasties even have those kinds of prefixes?Interestingly, it says de Normandie in the launch screen but just Normandie in-game
>>1864346Yes it has like of de av af von etc.
>Had a bunch of kids>Saved up tons of influence>Got really old>Spend it all investing in my kids and demanding other Byz vassals to surrender their appointment>Get assassinated>My family is now the most powerful family in the EmpireProblem?
I wish coming up with a dynasty name was easy.

What do I call my Italian-Greek culture?Italo-Greek sounds uninspired, Roman sounds a little pretentious, I thought about Latino-Greek but that makes it sound like they're spics
>>1864441Siciliano
>Doil Vulgar>Iberian Vulgar>Italian VulgarAre those all historically accurate as court languages? I thought nobles were all smart and spoke Latin back then
>>1864441Norman, make the dream of Boemund real
>>1864450>vulgarit's vulgar latinbut yeah, court languages are retarded
>>1864450Yes, Latin was a court language in all of catholic europe. Vulgar literally means the language of the commons. And even there you had actual Vulgar Latin. National languages were not a big thing until the late middle ages. But PDX is dumb.
>>1864453Didn't they just write in Latin?
I've got 12k prestige to dump on artifact claims, which one should I go for next?

>>1863583>>1863580Why the FUCK doesn’t alp arslan start with the conqueror trait? Him, the almoravids and ghaznavids should all start with it. But maybe because the AI is retarded and the seljuks will just ignore Byzantium as they always do, and just invade Africa or some shit

>>1864455It’s court language not national language dumb nigger. Like how to Turks in iran spoke Persian, and the Norman’s in England spoke French? It’s a good and historical addition to the game.
>>1864441Griko, like history
>>1864482>>1864451>>1864449I should have specified I'm Northern Italian not sicilian, I rule over the Latin Empire, although I'm itching to conquer Sicily since they stole parts of Greece during the 4th crusade
The new cabinet of curiosities upgrade now finally gives me something to do with all the random illustrious "x of Muhammed" artifacts I end up stealing. There were times I considered using the console to temporarily add aniconism so I could break them but now I can throw them in my manor and they disappear forever.
>>1864491Then name the hybrid Roman. Sounds like that's what you would be larping as based on what you've been doing.
>>1864476>Generals are now allowed on /vst/Proofs?>racism outside of /b/Unironically kill yourself faggot
>>1864494the janny is a /gsg/ plant, unironicallythat must be the reason people like robbie, that weird unironic azov poster and other retards are allowed to post without getting banned
>>1864493You're right actually, and I should rename the empire too>The term "Latin Empire" was not contemporary, and was first used by historians in the 16th century to distinguish the Crusader state from the classical Roman Empire and the Byzantine Empire, all of which called themselves "Roman".... but I can't name it "Roman" because that name is already taken by the real Roman culture, I'll probably use the greek word for it
>>1864497Can't you do whatever reform revives the real Roman culture? Also I can't remember what it was but CK2 HIP had some sort of "historically accurate" name for the Latin Empire, but I cannot remember what it is off the top of my head.
>>1864485Court Language is the only thing that matters to the game, because you play as the nobility, not as the commoner.So making court languages national languages instead of Latin, as the Royal Court does, is still retarded. >>1864491Either do what >>1864493 said, or call it Ostrogothic and do the Theoderich larp.
>>1864504>Court Language is the only thing that matters to the gameThat one cultural names mod (when its updated) bases realm name on the language group. Not super relevant, but its something.
>>1864498>Can't you do whatever reform revives the real Roman culture?Is that a decision? I can't find it in the game files
>>1864510Dunno, I assumed as much since there is a Men at Arms for them. In CK2 it was tied to reforming the Roman Empire.
>>1864516No It was only possible to restore that culture via custom ruler before current dlcI didn't check it yet but i assume they still didn't change anything as roman traditions look lackluster compared to greek ones
>>1864504Nobles didn’t speak Latin, where are you getting this from? In the Byzantine empire they spoke Greek, in England and France French, in the HRE german, in the seljuk states Persian, etc etc It is court languages NOT national languages niggaUnrelated, but why would Italian and Greek make ostorogthic. You’re just an80 iq retard all around.
>>1864491Maybe Aegean or Adriatic if you're aiming to return to the boot?
What are some historical houses that end up landless by 867/1066?
How do you fix the bug where the game still thinks you're offering military assistance as an adventurer when you aren't?
Are there any descendants of Roman emperors or important Roman people alive in 867?
>>1864136>KumaradeviI miss times when bollywood was on top. White chicks cosplaying in saris was both hilarious and hot
>>1864137Acceptance = hybrid materialThat's literally the only use of it. The other being some big tricky shit when you are yourself a divergent culture and want to keep all that high dev and rushed innovations for yourself, while staying chummy with the "foreign" culture you splintered off from
>>1865193>What is the Byzantine Empire, the focal point of the most recent patch and DLCYou are one big fucking idiot
>>1864482That would be Griko.
>>1865198Like, people with Roman culture. I want to play as an old dynasty. I suppose I could do that Cornish one, but that's no fun.
>>1865202Aren't there Merovingians around somewhere? Plus there were a bunch of oc donut steels the devs put in random courts of 1066
>>1865203>Aren't there Merovingians around somewhere?No they're extinct. Also they're not Roman.
>>1865202>Extinct culture is extinct>How do I play as a member?I've got to ask - which country has such terrible education system that you both know what Romans were and can't grasp the concept that they are gone by 9th century - for good.
>>1865212I FUCKING KNOW IT'S EXTINCT. I'm wondering if there are any descendants of important Romans alive.
>>1865220No, but like every noble in Europe claimed descent.>>1865212To be fair there are some extinct cultures in game that still have people kicking around as a minority. Like Visigoths weren’t compelled gone by 867, so playing. A visigothic adventurer makes sense even if there are no characters or cultures of that culture. Obviously Roman is a huge no tho lol
>>1865203>MerovingiansBarbaroi
>>1865232The merovingians were based. Descendants from Jesus and a sea monster, and created the kingdom of france as a permanent thing
>>1865230>The dynasty's ethnic origin is unknown, and has been a subject of debate. During Basil's reign, an elaborate genealogy was produced that purported that his ancestors were not mere peasants, as everyone believed, but descendants of the Arsacid (Arshakuni) kings of Armenia, Alexander the Great and also of Constantine the Great.I guess the Macedonian dynasty is as good as any then.Does anyone know which family has the longest geneology? I always liked playing as the Bavandids (Sassanid descendants) for that reason.
>>1865246The house of Wessex claims to be descended from Odin.
>>1865247That’s just cope and larp though
>>1865251I know, but no one else seems to have a cool genealogy. I'm upgrading my pc soon and when I do I'd like to do a full world conquest as the Roman empire. I'd like to play as a cool family to do that.
>>1865248They and all Norse dynasty’s probably are, I like that esoteric historian thor something who proposed that Odin was a Scythian Cheiftain who migrated to Scandinavia and founded most of those dynasties and countries and was later mythologized and worshipped as a god,
>>1865253Your post just reminded me of something I’m excited to do. In ck2 WTWSMS (fallen eagle but ck2) there is a member of house Seleucid still alive but he’s a landless courtier.Would be cool as fuck to restore the Seleucid empire as an adventurer when it gets updated. (Assuming he is in fallen eagle too)
>>1865255I'm pretty sure all pagan rulers claimed to be descended from the gods.
>pour through 500 characters to find artifacts worth stealing>90% of them are in India and Tibet
>>1865259I'm pretty sure the Bavandid guy starts out with that sword.
>>1865259Blavatsky DLC confirmed
>>1865257Is WTWSMS for CK3 not popular? I never hear it being talked aboutI had so much fun with the CK2 version
>>1865259Really the best artifacts come from legendary hunts. I've only ever gotten one though and it was in Switzerland of all places.
>>1865268Yeah I found another in Central Asia I think but its also out of range for me for now.>>1865273The wall pelts? They're good, but there are other artifact categories which can be more impactful.
>>1865278I got three artifacts from one legendary hunt. One of them (boar skull) gave +1 domain limit which is the most important thing I look for in artifacts. But I also got an illustrious boar skull from a hunt that gave +1 domain limit from a regular hunt just the other day. Maybe look for boar skulls.
>>1865283I don't think I've ever seen +domain on hunt artifacts before
>>1865286Like I said, I've only seen it twice. But it's my favorite thing. If I can't completely control my two duchies it triggers my autism. I've also seen +domain limit on thrones.
>>1865291I just found one now. Most are + vassal limit though or neither which are trash.It's driving me crazy that there are so many of these +3dip +3 learning maps, Sassanian Swords, and more but they're all in fucking India.
>>1865300>waaah all the good shit is in India and not my snownigger hovel in BjørngydorklandJust like real life white boi
>>1865303
>>1865220Define "important Romans", you dumb fucking moron. The answer is obviously "no", but it doesn't make your stupidity any less entertaining
Can you become a noble house and get an estate if you are a non-greek vassal?
>>1865318Yes, if you adopt admin. Though I think it's harder for non-Greeks to be voted emperor.
>>1865310The point hit you right in the middle of the forehead, bored clean through it, went through the empty cave that's your skull and fly the other side, and you didn't even notce
>>1865220>According to Edward Gibbon, the family originated from the Roman Attii family, which migrated from Rome to Este[11] to defend Italy against the Ostrogoths.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Este
>>1865310Dumb blobber
>>1865325Seethe more, Rajesh
>>1865335That's one de jure Empire and two Great Holy Wars
>>1865340Yeah so stop being an uncultured swine and give persia and Egypt to dynasty members and set them loose
>>1865349Most of that is Bolochistan which is rightfully mine
>>1865351According to what, chud
I looked all around the map, through the entire list of Roman Emperors and this was the only living family I could find with Roman descendants. Unfortunately they are Welsh and do not have access to the "become an adventurer decision, and it just feels like a weird way to start a Roman run. There was no one I could find that was descended from a Hellenic pagan.One weird thing I noticed was that almost all the people with really long genealogies were in Britain and Ireland.
>>1865362>mfw Wales is fifth Rome
>>1865366Actually I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be this guyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnus_MaximusI assumed it was some random Roman governor. Evidently there are all sorts of Welsh legends about this guy.Looks like I'll have to boot the game up and check again. See you guys in an hour, because my computer is shit.
>random relative I forgot existed dies>"You can inherit a legend">throw some money and prestige at it>get a free CB to vassalize everyone around me no matter the sizeThis feels really stupid, now I understand why people don't like the legends DLC
>>1865373The only thing I like about legends are the Legendary watchtowers and the fact that it allows you to pick up the Latin language.
Who was that Welsh Prince that allegedly went to America? He could be a funny adventurer.
We have inherited Egypt from our Brother. We have ended their unique Norse succession practices, and will hand away the Kingdom prior to our death. We currently inhabit 5 Kingdoms and have four sons to leave them to.
>>1865371My computer is good and ck3 takes legit 20 minutes to boot up, not a single other game on the planet does this
>playing exiled descendants of harold godwinson>become catholic caliphate of the muwalladis because some random muslim pawned it off to me in return for me giving 500 men to his revoltdoesn't this mean you could become pope if your patron agrees to give the papacy title to you in return for your support?
>>1865398Everyone that says this is on a potato
>Patriarch took over the Empireinteresting
>>1865371Well my investigation yielded no results. Magnus Maximus was emperor of the Western Roman Empire, which doesn't show up in the titles search bar, even though I'm pretty sure you can make it with the "cleave the empire" decision. I think I'll just go with Basil I, I want to take Rome as soon as possible because the Pope loves to fill it up with temples.>>1865398What kind of processor do you have?
>>1865403How exactly? Do you mean the "I'll give you a title to fuck off" event? I don't think it would work for the pope because it's king-tier but becoming Caliph sounds hilarious
>>1865376Affydd Goddodd
>>1865425>How exactly? Do you mean the "I'll give you a title to fuck off" event? It's this event, I won the war and got the title but the game crashed when I inherited New England (that crimean kingdom, it was renamed after i set my brother up there after a crusade) and I can't load the save anymore.
>>1865432Looking at the files, kingdoms titles are disallowed and you're guaranteed a duchy if you have high prestige level, so if you keep targeting caliphs it should be possible to get it consistently.
>>1865417I have no ulterior motives or horse in the race>>1865423I7
>>1865442>I7-970
>>1865445I7 9700kIdk that much about computers but I know it’s fairly newish and no other game takes more then 1 second to boot up
>>1865452Isn't that the planned obsolescence intel generation that was melting?
>>1865452People were saying that ck3 is really heavy on L3 cache for some reason. Looks like that model doesn't have enough. But I'm one to talk I have an old ass computer. It was pretty good in 2018.Also do you have an ssd or a hard drive?
>>1864441>Roman sounds a little pretentious,so call it Greco-Roman which is the IRL term used even today. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greco-Roman_wrestling
>>1864441Greco Roman. For my Roman play through I'm planning on diverging greek one I complete the "heirs of Rome" legend so I can pick up the Latin language, and I'm going with Greco Roman for the name.
I really don't like that Thrace and Latium (the duchy with Rome) have special duchy buildings. It means that I can't put the burial grounds in them and I'm worried my development is going to tank once I start the Roman hard mode.Also the Haggai Sophia is only usable to Christians and Muslims. So it will be a useless building slot one I convert to Hellenism. I wish I could turn it into a temple or something.
>>1865461I hope not, I’ve had it since like 2019 and all is good so far >>1865463It’s on my hard drive not SSD
>>1865473People say the Ryzen 7 5700X3D can handle ck3 and other paradox games no problem. I'm hoping to pick one up soon.
>>1865466bit of a queer sport, no?
>>1865470That sounds interesting but I just checked my save and the queen of navarra already used up the roman legend, the legend mechanic is so unbelievably terrible lol
What area and what time period in game would be best for a beautiful eugenics fuckfest? Catholicism is a bit suffocating with monogamy.
>>1865478Yeah that's what I'm worried about. I'm starting in 867 so all the feudal rulers are pretty poor, so that will give me time hopefully. I'd prefer to wait until all of Latium is Greek and I have enough prestige to plug in garden architects.
How the hell do Clans work? Apparently it's an islamic thing, but I went to reform out of tribal as wildlings in AGoT and was pissed off when I was still a shitty clan with shitty partition inheritance and seemingly no path to civilizing.
>playing agot mod>82 start as a duke>marry targaryen princess and get a female dragon>4 eggs>only 2 hatch>minor plague spawns ontop of me and manages to snipe both dragonrider children out of the 9Fate is so cruel,
>>1865482Probably Zoroastrian. You just need one male with two traits and one female with the same good traits since CK3 automatically passes the trait on if both parents have it unlike CK2. Then in a couple generations you'll stop being inbred and will get a different trait for being pure.
I like when i get landed and my liege decides he wants to revoke my title.
>>1865476The game doesn’t even slow down for me in late game, it runs beautifully, it’s just that to boot it up it takes fucking forever.
>>1865514Clans are stuck clans forever unless you culture convert, but you can still get primogeniture as a clan, I’m pretttttty sure.
>get new dlc because I've seen everyone say it's good>see how complicated playing in an administrative government is>refund it immediatelyI can't handle that mental strain right now. I just want to relax.
>>1865548Just watch a 10 minute YouTube video and it’s easy. You have a lot of options but it’s not complicated in the slightest, only appears so at first glance.
I have five Kingdoms, and five sons to inherit them. The Kingdoms are: Normandy, England, Wales, Scotland, and Egypt.Who should get what? Obviously Baldwin is primary heir and will get Normandy. I have to live with that. But what about the rest? I was Egypt should go to Alexander, England to Roger, Wales to Orderic, and Scotland to Roland.What do you guys think?
>>1865553Give Egypt to the best warrior so he expands and conquers Muslims. The rest don’t even matter
>>1865553>orderic "the prince of fashion"kid's a fruit so I concur with Wales
>>1865543That is weird. I really don't know all that much about computers. Maybe it's the ram?
>>1865543No shit you just told us its installed on a fucking HDD.
Of all the things I did in this game making a perfect genetic specimen was probably the hardest. It took me 350 years. I didn't even even end up playing as him because I achieved everything else I wanted to achieve.
Anyone know why I can't equip this book?

Wards and wardens is a good dlc.

>>1865570possibly yes
What's your modlist like?
>>1865585At the moment mine is just the community patch and the duel overlay. When it gets updated I'm going to add more cultural names back in as well.
>Anglo-Saxon, saxon elective administrative realm >Northumbria, East Anglia and Mercian families saved and thriving I'm actually so happy right now bros. How do I make the realm stronger tho?

>>1863556can i discuss ck2 here in a non-schizo thread or will i get told to kms
>>1865623They are awful. I looked for ages for a mod that fixed the genealogies and histories and used less awful naming but no dice. Ck2 had loads of Anglo-Saxonboo modders, sad but not surprising they don't like ck3.
>>1865627Absolutely not, this is normie nu-paradox games only. Go back to the based thread.
>>1865632but i like ck3 i just wanted to try ck2 again because of a challenge :(
>>1865627Depending on which mods you use I will either accept or chastise you
>>1865636no mods actually, just vanilla faggotry
did you know you could use chatgpt to expand upon names and dynasty names of any obscure culture that you're going to have a run with? like, create a mod where you shove hundreds of chatgpt generated names for Latgalian culture, where the vanilla has only 10 tops?
>>1865654I trust it even less than Paradox
>>1865675well that beats having only 10 names for every female in your bloated empireI mean, do you really care that Kuliens is a real name, and Skornand is made up by chatgpt?
>>1865680Do YOU really care that some names will repeat on characters you don’t give a fuck about. (Even doe irl there are like 10 names people have anyway)

Can you become a king vassal under the Byzantines? Was thinking of going for Sicily as Epirus
How the ass do you get a noble house and estate? Do you need to be at least Duke tier to get it? This influence shit seems mad gay without an estate.
I feel like hating myself and play in Iberia. Any suggestions on where to start.
>>1865859make adventurer and eventually settle somewhere
Jarl Dyre is probably my favorite start. He's a genius so my eugenics program can start off strong and he has lots of landed family members so you get lots of renown right off the start. Maybe I should play as him for my Rome game. I could do a Varangian adventure for Latium and swear fealty to the Byzantines and just become Greek. From there I just have to become emperor.
>>1866003I like starting off as adventurers and taking characters to locations they shouldn't be at and setting up shop there
>>1866020To be fair Haestien raided the Mediterranean with Bjorn Ironside and tired to conquer Rome to set Bjorn up as Roman emperor, but they ended up capturing the wrong city. So all in all it's not too weird for a viking to do, maybe Dyre is trying to one up his uncle.
>>1866003Problem is his CoA sucks in CK3
>>1866037I got a cool custom norse one last time I played as him, I'll have to think up a new cool one that fits with the Roman theme.
Is there any point to not have a head of confession?
If nomads are added how do you think they will work? I imagine like landless but you actually control a territory.
>>1866091People would complain it’s boring or tedious but I’d love to actually control a horde and migrate around in winter to get new pastures for my animals, and when my population starts to rise, I need to conquer more lands and assimilate other tribes, all while raiding settled people
Can you convert to your liege's culture even if you don't have any counties of that culture?
>>1866003varagnian is shit as u can only be a duchy.getting invade kingdom cb and taking thessalonika for both constantiople and goldmines sets u up better.split old area up and make all ur non heir sons independent duchies there for free allies.so instead of just gettin 7% vassal tax u get 100% in war for 75 prestige. + some more renown early game.
>>1866044I don't like having to change things so much, at that point I feel like you might as well do a custom character (which I'm very opposed to doing)
>>1866141Don’t think so, just have one of his vassals of his culture educate your kids and convert them
>>1866161Well I eventually plan on only holding Latium and Thrace. I want to become part of the empire and slowly work my way up though the ranks, not destroy it.>>1866169I love messing around with the CoA maker, I think it's fun. Also I don't think you can make a character as good as Jarl Dyre and still have achievements on.>>1866178I'll just do that. Or maybe I'll take Napoli and move my capital there for that life, I'd like to make Rome Greek asap.Also I've been looking on the forums and it looks like Hellenic hard mode is busted. I hope they add a way to turn it off while still being able to pick up household gods soon.
trying to save scum a 40% chance, it doesnt work for some reason. Are all chances pre-determined?

How do I do Byzantium without knights? The fact there's only 1 of them as a commander at any time is kind of off putting. Another reason I am rather disliking it is that I don't really like the geography of Byzantium- its just hills and hills. Even the green is brown tinted- I like the green of France/Scandinavia a lot more. Plus with hills everywhere I can't have my cataphracts do heavy cavalry things without massive terrain penalties.
>>1866247what
>use the Catholic path - Ascension decision>95% chance to convert any county I step inSo what the fuck do you get out of this, most of these will just be converted back Seems completely useless
>>1866247what amount of timeis the game calculates everything pre-emptively
>>1866283The game determined that the event would pop up and what the results would be before you saw the event
>>1866285It varies. I tried to savescum a disease outbreak, but every single time after I jumped back a week or whatever I still would become blind after getting over measles despite it being a 5% chance to become blind.
>>1866287in my case its a request to the king to convert to my faith, the best possible chance i can get is 40%. Is the outcome already been predetermined and will forever remain the same, or is the game gonna calculate it differently if something changes like a +-1% of a chance.
>>1866295Just wait a while for a new seed to be generated and ask.
>>1866297maybe it becomes determined whenever i savethat actually makes sense
>>1866284It might lead to Catholic populist revolts.
Ah for fucks sake, isn't one of the Latin Empire event prerequisites that the ERE be Christian?
>>1866284They need to add in a generic version of the revolt events that Hasan Sabbah has. Cause doing that is great for getting his empire revolt stuff to work. Piety really feels like the least important of the resources for Adventurers right now unless you want to make a meme religion.
>restore Cornwall kingdom>change cornish tradition to bureaucratic>Lose one province while trying to not inherit Brittany>Make kingdom administrativeThis is so fucking retardedLiterally one castle sized empire

>>1866697What's your religion? You could just copy the CoA from the kingdom of Saxony that's already in the game if you're asatru.
>>1866750No you can't do it with orthodox kingdoms4th crusade event only triggers if Catholic ruler has Byzantine claimant in its court and Byzantium is still orthodox country during Crusade declarationYou can't form Latin empire without event even if Byzantine empire is destroyed
>>1866759When you form the latin empire do you get the option to play as them like the crusade? How does it work from the player side.
>>1866762You get option to play as Latin empire or to install other rulersNot sure how it works when you don't have first place in warscore doe since ai can't do it on its own You get alliance event with republic that participated in crusade right afterAfter few days you get a choice to switch to administrative government and get slightly upgraded estateYou get one de jure kingdom from Byzantium and can make others de jure too via eventAs far as i could tell you can't restore Roman empire with Latin empire but you can restore Byzantine empire if you switch to greek culture
Haven't played a single grand strategy game, should I start with CK3? I see people love it (mostly) and IGN gave it 10/10.

It's weird that Russia is the one region that benefits the most from being able to navigate rivers but Russian culture doesn't get long ships. Sailing down the Dnieper and raiding Constantinople is what the Rus are know for.
>>1866831Before they add places like China and Japan i want them to add stuff for the Rus and non mongol steppes.
>>1866831> raiding Constantinople is what the Rus are know for.>“The economic well-being of Kievan Rus XI and XII centuries was based on slaveholding... Already in the X-XI centuries, women were the main article of Russian export to the Black Sea and Volga-Caspian markets. The Russian merchant of that time invariably appeared everywhere with his main commodity, with a woman. Oriental writers of the 10th century paint us a vivid picture of a Russian merchant trading in the Volga River; having unloaded, he set up his benches and benches in the Volga bazaars, in the cities of Bolgar or Itil, on which he seated his live goods - slave girls. With the same goods it appeared and in Constantinople. When a Greek, a commoner of Tsargrad, needed to buy a slave, he went to the market, where “Russian merchants are coming to sell servants” - so we read in one posthumous miracle of Nicholas the Wonderworker, dating back to the half of the XI century. Slavery was one of the most important subjects, to which the attention of the most ancient Russian legislation was directed, as much as it is possible to judge about it by the Russian Pravda: articles about slavery make one of the largest and most processed sections in its composition”>Kliuchevsky of course does not emphasize this, but the export of slaves should be read exactly as the export of slave girls throughout the Baltic Sea basin and, to a much greater extent, the Mediterranean Sea. German merchants came to Novgorod and Pskov precisely to “buy virgins”. It was with maidens that Russia flooded all the slave markets of the Mediterranean as far as the shores of Aragon.
>>1866831>I by no means want to say that Russia was unique here. Yes, women were the main export item of what is now called Rus at the dawn of its existence. But this is a typical situation. The most ancient, basic type of goods in the world is certainly not furs and wax, but young, pretty women. Girls are a universal commodity. If you don't know how to sell anything else, sell women>It is not surprising that in times of economic hardship, the country keeps returning to the basics.
>>1866831The castrated little nigger bitches of Stockholm(henceforth abbreviated to APES) should pick up a fucking history book for once and learn about how ALL fucking peoples used to navigate rivers, not just this or that meme fucking tribe. With all the retarded larping that APES do you would fucking think that they'd know something as fucking basic as this(the average primary schooler of a third world country knows it)
Holy FUCK the administrative gameplay is extremely trash if you're not a duke. The fuck were they thinking with this shit
>>1866750You can actually send a crusade there as well as Holy War the Orthodox in general, unless that’s the community patch doing something stupid?It’s separate from the actual 4th Crusade event though.>>1866712There are two criteria, one for earlier than 1187 and one that is much less restrictive for after 1200.The list is long and I don’t understand it via reading the files too well. ERE can’t be catholic, has to be admin, can’t be allied to the person getting the event, the person getting the event needs a claimant in their court, they have to be in Western Europe, and the crusade target needs to be in the Med, Iberia, or Arabia.
>>1866786It has much less depth and is very noob friendly so yeah it’s a good place to start
>>1866838>>1866840I'm talking about in modern times. People know about the sack of Constantinople.Also I just remembered that you can't raid over seas without long ships (or that African innovation that does the same thing) so it really doesn't make sense.
>>1866835I don't know, I almost feel like Russian should be a hybrid between Norse and some other Slavic culture. If my knowledge of history is correct the Rus picked up long ship raids from the Norse (and doesn't the word Rus mean Swedish?)
>>1866876Rus comes from rower.
>>1866876Slavs were using the longship design independently of norse. So did the baltics, especially curonians are known for this. It also shouldn't be a hybrid culture, because the norse rulers integrated themselves into the slavic culture. What the game needs to represent better is the names. Because through those we can trace these stuff. Also coats of arms. And burial rites. All stuff that CK3 refuses to represent properly.
>>1866886I don't know all that much about pre varangain Russian culture, because most people start with Rurik. My idea was there would be multiple Slavic cultures in Russia and if you were playing as a Norse ruler and united all those lands you could take a decision to unify all of them (and Norse) into Russian culture. But if that's inaccurate, oh well.
>>1866887>My idea was there would be multiple Slavic cultures in Russia and if you were It is already a thing, you have Ilmens as their own culture. all it needs is Kryvichs. The rest of eastern slavs can stay grouped as one.
>>1866889I think I heard that there's a bunch of Eastern Slavic cultures in the game files that just need to be added.
>i wonder how my army is being stackwiped by mongols near instantly despite having nearly every advantage i could possibly have, including superior numbers of MAA, equal overall army size, terrain, countering etc>look at stats of their MAAokay i guess

Is Thessaloniki a worthwhile duchy if you convert away from Orthodoxy? It seems like there are better duchies throughout the Byzantine empire, especially since the update.
Truly zased
>>1866953Doesn't Thessalonika have two gold mines?
Anybody have an idea how some Polish adventurer created this duchy title?>>1866968Chalkidike has one thats boosted by 20% cause of the unique building in one of the temple cities in the same county. And new to this patch another .5 from the unique building in the capital. Also is there an overlay in the game that shows where unique buildings are?
>>1866982What's special about the adventurer realm?He could have lost all his titles, generated with the camp etc
>>1866917
>>1866983He created a dutchy title with the roman banner with the capital being Rome.
>>1866917Its been forever since i fought the Gengis Mongols. They dont actually have those stats right? Or is there some bug going on there.
Did they fuck up the duchy places in Byzantium, Bulgaria seems to be way too the west
>>1866989>He created a dutchy titleall adventurer realms are just duchy titles with the adventurer government form, i believe when the title is destroyed, the lack of adventurer government makes the former holders default to being called dukes instead of leader, boss, captain etc based on camp purpose>roman banner with the capital being Rome.the county your camp is located in counts as your capital i think, so when the title was destroyed when located within the county of rome it assumed it's COA and made it the duchy capital
>>1866982>Also is there an overlay in the game that shows where unique buildings are?Economy overlay. You have to zoom in a bit.>>1866968No Just the Haggai Sophia.
>>1866991It has to be a bug. I fucked them up as the kingdom of Yurga (small Siberian kingdom) once.
>>1866991There was a recent change to the advantage combat mechanic, it's 5 times more powerful than it was before, a +50 general skill advantage shown in the picture gives a 500% damage boost to his army now.Paradox probably fucked up with the code somehow and the huge advantage Ghenghis had gave his men an impossible amount of stats.
>>1866992The In-Game duchy of Bulgaria is based on the Byzantine Theme of Bulgaria which was located in modern day North Macedonia, and was named as such because it was the last remnant of independent Bulgarians before it was reconquered by Basil the II
>>1866994Were the goldmines removed, or are they just not in Thessalonika? I haven't checked the unique buildings on the map in ages.
>>1867000I'm fucking stupid dude, I meant to be talking about Thrace this whole time. Yes there's a gold mine in Thessalonika. I'm thinking of making that or Athens my secondary duchy after I convert to Hellenism.
>Doing struggle for Iberia for the first time>Was having fun and wondering why people didn't like it>Now its just me and Castile left>Somehow got 2 peaceful phases in a row so i can only take a county every truce break when my leader cant buy duchy claims>No "one faith wins" resolution option to be found.I dont know if this is the main gripe others had with it but thats what ruins it for me.>>1866995>>1866993I went back to an older save i had from ~100 years earlier and it was still the same when they were still roaming around. I wonder if its some bug with adventurers that are spawned on bishoprics or republics. Since for whatever reason it doesn't let you start an adventurer on one. Which i hate cause i wanted to make a crusader like larp based out of rome but it didn't let me start there.
Deus Vult!I hope once I swap to Greco-Norman that my CoA looks better on their shield. The finish on this shield makes this particular CoA look awful
>>1867002You might've been thinking about the Raska/Macva aera anyway. As it has 3 of them. Thrace is just Constantinople and grasslands.
When I was looking mine locations I found this trade mod that adds gold supply to the game. What do you guy think about a system like this being added? I've heard that Rome was worried about losing their gold reserves to foreign trade.
>>1867010No I was thinking of the one down by the coast. I think it has farmland terrain too.
>Anglo-Saxons conquer land in Alania instead of Crimea where it historically happened and where there's already an easter egg to the legend in the form of Zaporizhia being renamed to New-England when held by an Anglo-Saxonwasted potential, it'd be far more fun if you were given two paths, staying loyal to the romans and reconquering their territories in the bosporan as a frontier-governorship, or creating a pirate-haven where you get to raid your neighbours to enrich yourself, with you receiving reinforcements from england based on how harsh the conquest is
>>1867016paradox could even have leaned into the theory that the goths left in crimea during the late byzantine perod were actually the remnants of the anglo-varangian settlers and have it appear as a pre-set hybrid culture you can forminstead they add events where you can fart yourself to death.
>becoming an adventurer requires a specific cultural traitWow this sucks. Don't want to be playing the same culture every game.
>>1867021Yeah that sucks, there was a Welsh guy that I wanted to be and adventurer but I couldn't. Also there's an unlanded guy in Germany that I wanted to play as but you can't invite him to your camp because he's on his liege's council. When this was announced I was under the assumption that it would let you play as anyone.
The various cloaks over armor look sweet. The Greek ones look really nice.
The first mod for this DLC im getting is the one that gets rid of the forced glasses for a scholar camp. How can i play a voodoo witchdoctor when i have glasses clipping through the headdress.
>>1867021Can't you play as an adventurer if one of your children doesn't inherit anything?You could also lose all your titles on purpose and become an adventurer that way
The Umayyads have been cast down. Now I just need to figure out if forming the Latin Empire will be possible considering what has happened to the ERE in my game.
>>1867026I love how they keep wearing the glasses even if they get blinded.
How do I stop the Seljuks losing against the romans every game?They always tend to lose / white peace their invasion of anatolia, then violently collapse not long after>>1867026>The first mod for this DLC im getting is the one that gets rid of the forced glasses for a scholar campMy characters keep going bald with a floating crest above their head because the game renders them as wearing helmets when they arn't
So I really didn't plan on blobbing this campaign, I wanted to make Normandy as tall as possible and eventually get the Latin Empire. But now I have claims on all of Francia. Should I use them? Will they even expire since they're from a legend? I don't know how legends work really.
>>1867037They should be inheritableIf you conquer them now it's kind of inconsequential since you'll give up your land after winning the crusade. With partition inheritance that could at least create an interesting situation assuming you have enough children.If you /did/ want to blob, saving the claims for after you're already the Latin Empire would be the most efficient move
>>1867043I had another kid so I'm going to try and take Aquitaine for his inheritance while I France becomes Greater Normandy.
>>1867037Pressed claims are inherited as unpressed claims and unpressed claims are lost on inheritance.
>>1867046Damn is your computer strong enough to tab out of ck3 and open a browser? ck3 takes everything my computer has got and I can only take one screenshot per session.
>>1867052I have two monitors so I can shitpost while I play
>elagabalus is a woman>hadrian is heterosexualwhat did paradox mean by this?
>>1867056They unironically read /gsg/ at launch pouring over history files looking for something to get mad at, and implemented everything they were relieved they didn't find at launch, like female elagabalus. They originally had all the famous vikings be gay or bi based on some nebulous historical reference that they only went back on after a significant number of forum posters called it out for being ahistorical.
It's done. Our youngest son, Bohémond the second, will now inherit Aquitaine. Egypt, Scotland, Wales, and England will likewise pass to other sons and grandsons.
>>1867055Sound like a grand time. Hell half the time when I'm playing I'm just sitting there thinking about the game world, the story of my characters and what I'm going to do next. Shitposting would be a nice addition to that time. All the more incentive for me to save money.
I have 12k prestige and 20k piety, can I spend this on anything before I died?
King Bohémond is finally nearing death at the ripe old age of 94. He wishes to be buried in his Crusader vestments, to be known as the King who saved Christendom. But now, at the end, he is faced with a decision. Does he want to leave a legacy of proud, independent Norman Kingdoms? Or does he want to create a realm which would unite his kin under one banner?
>>1867070Eww, just make a custom empire.
>>1867072>custom empirefucking disgusting, I have those disabled.
Playing as a mercenary siege engineer company. We do contracts to make money to build more catapults to drag around Anatolia and Bulgaria..
>>1867073Oh, did you just rename Brittany to Normandy? I thought it was a custom kingdom.
>>1867080I did. I probably wouldn't even have to if the more cultural names mod was updated.
>>1867063How is Jerusalem in Italy?
>>1867082My kin I installed in Egypt took Jerusalem, then made it his primary title and moved his capital to Jerusalem, then I inherited Egypt from him on his death. How he blobbed in Italy I'm really not sure. I do know that he had inherited Latium from me, so he had some provinces in the area, and inherited another in the North from vassal inheritance. But how exactly he did so well in Italy I'm not sure. The Karlings in Italy did seem to dissolve so maybe he just cleaned up the fragments.
Wait, I have a camp? What? I thought this was for adventurers.
>>1867084I wonder if that's a bug or you get to keep it. It can be a rather large investment.
>>1867086>keep itI never even had it, I think I somehow inherited it from one of my kin that became adventurers. I'm going to take advantage though and rush the Men at Arms limit upgrades.
>all that prestige and piety>lost forever... like tears in the rain...
>>1867089Did you use it to reform your culture? That's really the only thing you need it for.
>>1867091I guess I should. I was holding off because I originally planned on hybridizing with Greek, which now has a bunch of really good unique cultural pillars.
Why do ethiopian and nubian helmets look like kitchenware?

>>1867012Why are all the mines in Slovakia and Bohemia missing? Those were actually large mining complexes in middle ages.
>>1867118No clue, the mod is Dynamic Trade Routes. Also I may have misinterpreted what that image is meant to convey.
>>1867118Did they nerf the Bohemian mines? I could have sworn there used to be at least two of them, if not three
>>1867121There certainly should be.
>>1867123Well there was a lot of complaints about how it was far and away the best duchy in Europe and you always wanted it to be your capital. I wouldn't be surprised if it was nerfed.
>>1867121If they did it was over a year ago.
>>1867130>nerfing a historically big and prosperous mines because some shitters who knkw nothing of history complainedPDX is truly braindead
>>1867130>>1867150I dont know if thats the case cause its not like there aren't multiple places to the south with 2-3 mines close by.
>>1867163Yeah but Bohemia was in the HRE, was its own Kingdom, and was just all around the best place to set up shop at launch. I remember a bunch of youtubers making videos about it.
Is there no way to make yourself the default commander of your army? It always picks some random nigger that has 1/5th of my supply capacity
>>1867056>elagabalus is a woman>what did paradox mean by this?Elagabalus is regarded by most authorities, even modern ones immersed in a politicised academic environment, to be outright insane. Lumping trannies in with him is a hilarious disservice to them.
>>1867199>N*kkerthat's not nice
>>1867200it's so funny when people use literal slander pushed under the emperor who replaced Elagabalus as proof that he was trans. It's like if 2000 years from now there were "disability advocates" praising Trump for overcoming his birth defect (microscopically small hands) to become president.

>>1867312I didn't know those were a thing, that one seems to have most mods I use but also about 100 I don't, looks a little bloated specially if you're coming back to the game after a while
>>1867347What mods do you use that it is missing?
>>1867350A few graphical ones but I suppose that's down to preferenceThe one gameplay mod it seems to be missing is "more game rules" (I only use it to disable de-jure empires)

late game and my pc keeps having these weird sissygasms where these weird green artifacts show on my monitor, my monitor then briefly disconnects and after 10 seconds of a black screen i can regain control of my pc only to have the game itself have a black screen indefinetely forcing me to restart the game
>>1867611Get a better computer, froganon. I never had an issue running PDX slop, neither with CK2 on my old computer back in the day nor with CK3 on my new one (because the old one kicked the bucket).
>>1867611Here are some immediate tips:>Get a better computer. More specifically, stronger CPU and more RAM, as those are the most important things PDXslop requires, and 16-32 gigs should be more than enough. Get more cores on your CPU, too.>If it keeps lagging, install mods that cull population. At most, you'll need a mod that kills off most adventurers because the game will spawn plenty of them, but there's shit for culling characters once per few years, and outright removing regions of the map for better performance.>Wait until monkeys who made this game fix the performance. They're literally make your computer calculate info for 50000+ irrelevant characters that exist kilometers away from your region.
>>1867611clean your GPU and update your video driver retard
>>1867480Outside threat is nonexistent in this gameUnless you turn on conquerors with "scourge of the god" the only people who will willingly attack you are peasants and mongols(unless you're in western Europe)In the rare instances you get attacked by a big kingdom and lose chunk of your land you with almost 100% certainty can expect them to abandon their advantage and never do it again
>>1867646outside threat is time and age
>>1867629>>Wait until monkeys who made this game fix the performance.Look at how that worked out with Stellaris.
>>1867646Multiplayer carries this game, but desu, Victoria 3 is a lot better. You can mod Vicky 3 to make it less ass and have fun competing with other players, but here, you'll need to start near each other or you'll be unable to interact. I had played with friends several times on British Isles, HRE and India and it was immensely fun when one player created a kingdom and you had to compete for influence inside of it as a vassal. >>1867649If community gets loud enough about it, some little change might come.
how do you get marriages for your adventurers that arnt 50 year old hags
>>1867687>how do you get marriages for your adventurers that arnt 50 year old hagsthe same way you get marriages for your landed rulers3 points in intrigue for Kidnapper
Its been so long since i played into the 1200's since i usually start with the 866 date that i forgot if this was a good or bad Mongol Empire for just Genghis' lifetime. I know his son still has the 75% trait and will keep expanding. But it feels like its pretty small from what i remember.>>1867687Keep an eye out for the rescue fair lady mission. At the end you can try to convince her to join. They will usually be in their 20's and have a beauty trait.
>>1867120That mod looks amazing, shame things like that almost always mean you can't use it with any other big mods. Same with Sinews of War.
>>1867757>didn't make it to eastern europeit's shit.
there's a marriage exploit for adventurersif you select arrange marriage for a courtier within your camp, instead of just having the option of your other courtiers you can also marry them to your descandants regardless of their dynasty, status as heir, or where they're located.
>>1867774here's it in practice, i can control who marrys the heir to the polish throne because he's my grandson through the arrange marriage option.this means i can matrilineally marry him to my niece and put my dynasty on the polish throne, despite that he was born in the polish court in a regular marriage, and the person who normally has control of his marriage options is his father (the king of poland)this works even if you have matrilineal marriage disabled in the game settings somehow
>>1867778proof it works, you can see the matrilineal marriage icon next to betrothed
When is the Decisions page gonna be updated on the wiki?
How good is born in the purple? I want to move my capital from Byzantium to Rome but my children won't get the trait any more.
Is there a way to destroy the byzantine empire title as an adventurer (not the assassin guy)?
I wish the intrigue camp got the join our side missions.
>>1867762Genghis never made it to EE otl either. It was under the rule of his son and leadership of his grandson that they reached it.
>>1867856I think the expectations are a little different for the game since he doesn't have China to attack yet.
>>1867757I don't remember if it was him or his son but in my 1178 game he got all of Iran and stretched all the way west t Russia, but then all his descendants kept dying from plagues until the empire split
>>1867868They'll have to buff the shit out of him if they add China.Also, do you guys think adding China will attract a Chinese player base? I remember that for civ 6 there were a ton of Chinese players that loved playing as China.
>>1867877I just want China so I can do a proper Sino-Norman campaign
>>1867878I want China so I can have more qt Asian wives. One time I was playing as a viking and I got a genius Chinese wife. It was the ultimate male fantasy.
I still don't understand how the "rite" thing works. So the only way to keep my previous head of faith is to reform a religion that *already* has it?
>>1867885Yeah you have to make a new religion from a religion that already has a head of faith.
>>1867877Of course it will and i hope you like China cause it will get more repeat DLC then the rest of the map to keep them happy just how Civ 6 had more Chinese leaders then anybody else. Personally i think China is fun to play in within GSG's but i dont want them to get piles of content over places like Russia that need more content and North Africa along the Berber coast.>>1867869His son is definitely picking up where his dad left off. Although not expanding in Russia much and more focused on Persia. He just declared for the Arabian Empire as well. I wish i could get involved and try to stop them for a challenge but i know its useless trying to fight them with all the buffs they get.As an aside i wish they let you settle a manor or something as an adventurer. Make it only available after you build everything in your camp. I have over 10k gold and nothing really to spend it on.
Does the "slower portrait aging" you get from graceful aging actually work? I've tried comparing my dynasty members to characters that don't have that legacy and I notice no difference.
>>1867888>that already has a head of faith.I meant a religion that already has the rite tenet because that doesn't seem to work, when I go into debug mode and make a new Catholic region with rite, I end up with my own Pope. But if I reform Insular, which already has rite, I keep the old Pope.
>>1867893Maybe it's the debug mode. I don't really know. Either I fully stick with the pope or I'm fully against him, no half measures.
>>1867890No it doesn't work, I think it was intended to give characters the beautiful trait's aging effect which funnily enough doesn't work either.
>>1867894I read some forum posts and it's just brokenIf you own at least one holy site a new head of faith is created regardless of the rite tenetIf you don't own a holy site it works as expectedIt just happened that I tested reforming the catholic faith with someone that owned a holy site
>>1867558We've got you surrounded! Start speaking D'oil Vulgar!
Am I the only one who hates that you can't change de jure capitals in this game? And the AI is so anal about it, they will try to revoke and own the capital no matter how shit the county is.
>>1867914Yeah de jure capitals was just a stupid idea in general. I also hate that I can’t use de jure drift rules from ck2
>>1867914Also auto-alliance on marriage is really annoying especially as muslim
what is the right way to play "tall" in CK3? Is it like CK2 where I want as many castles in a single county, and then in the duchy?
>>1867518>>Just playing casually most of your characters will end up as 30+ skill gods if they live long enoughMods to stop this?
is it better than ck2 now?
>>1868153Try again next decade
>>1867914https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=2436624088My autism doesn't allow me to play without this. Wish it could cover swapping baronies between counties but that's too tied into the landed titles file. If you're using it for de jure capital just remember you have to go low to high, meaning set the capital of the duchy before trying to set it for a kingdom or empire.
>>1866759Upon reflection, In that game the Mongolians had blobbed the byzantine empire before I assassinated the khan, and so when I was redirecting the crusade they weren't orthodox.
So, is roads to power remotely worth 25 pound or should I hold out for a sale or what
>>1868221>is paradox DLC worth full price?
>>1868224alright yeah it was a retarded question thinking about itincredible how people defend this dogshit pricing and release strategy
>>1868232I expect it to get worse with the absolute state of their financial year with skyline 2 being a shitshow and the sims-clone getting shit canned. Would have been a laugh to see them race EA to the bottom with obnoxious monetization of things that have literally no reason to not be included in the base game or at most a single reasonably priced cumulative pack.
>>1868232What if I'm not poor thoughever? Literally costs less than my lunch.
>>1868248If you have money to burn then it don't matter
>>1866619>Name is Vase>Wears one on his headBased
>>1868258>Not Vased
>>1868248>What if I'm not poorThen you wouldn't ask if it was worth it, would you?
>>1868153Yeah I think it is. Tours and tournaments is what finally won me over and it made playing in CK2 feel very detached and lifeless. The general move away from MTTH is also a great qol thing I didn't think I'd care about but likewise made going back quite painful. I do miss actually good writing, the stylized UI, and the retinue system, but none of that is enough to beat the accumulated improvements and additions 3 has made. The one thing I think CK2 still does truly better is religion, and specifically catholicism. For most religions it's a gold plated dog shit vs regular dog shit situation, but holy fury catholicism is genuinely interesting to play in and isn't just an afterthought, like basically every other religion in both CK2 and CK3. Not having that in CK3 hurts a bit. My #1 future DLC hopes is a Catholicism overhaul, and just a religion expansion in general I guess.

>>1868692I looked at it and thought "huh, neat" and that was it. There's no like system on here.
How do you navigate around clan succession properly?I was playing as a great conqueror and took land in the ME, which made me a clan government. I noticed my 2nd son was going to inherit 2/5 of my core counties and decided that I would just conquer lands for him so that my heir would retain the 5 important counties.I handed 2 duchy titles to him, including all the dejure land and he still steals the 2 counties from my firstborn.My character shouldn't even be a clan government, he's a catholic norman.
Who are the most interesting historical women you can take as a spouse? I know CK2 had Jeanne but I don't think she's been added to CK3. The 1178 start date has Tamar the Great as a new bachelorette you can marry before she inherits Georgia as heir. Richard the Lionheart's younger sister who was originally gonna be married to Saladin's brother and peacefully end the war until the church threatened to excommunicate them for going forward with it is a new option, but she's more famous for who she's related to rather than her own personal actions
>>1868668Speaking of items. I got this off a inspiration craft then 2 events that boosted its potency by 2 each. Kinda wish i could carry it over to other character saves!

Is the game a lot harder since the update?
>>1868727lol no
Going to stop wandering and play in Byzantium. There any manor buildings people found more important to get over others? There's so many options that its a little overwhelming at the start.

>>1868661ShyBefore playing CK3 I thought it was normal to have surges of stress every time I have to interact with people, turns out I just rolled a shitty trait irl
Is it a bug to have more or less than 3 personality traits?
ah yes
>>1868824There's no coded limit, I think most characters are supposed to have 3 by default but you can add as many as you want in the ruler designer
>>1868824What >>1868873 said. Iirc it's just prowess that hardcoded to not be above 100.
>>1868887Stats and prowess*
>>1868824There's a few characters that start with 4 if they're special. I think i remember seeing a couple with only 2 but generally everybody gets 3 cause you get one every few years when they're a kid. I wish they had ways to gain more of them. For example why wouldn't your character get the zealous trait if you form a religion with them?
>>1868859Makes more sense than the actual content PDX adds. Franks wanted to push east the entire time, they were considering everything to the east part of their Empire and as tributaries and were periodically summoning all the Slavic rulers to the Imperial Councils.
Is it normal for there to be 3 conquerors on the map with 3 generations of conqueror each?
>>1869115Check the rules retard
>>1868703This is my extremely scuffed Curonia run, I decided to convert to Judaism also since the Khuzarites were around. Current war is me being in scuffed hell of my holy war to take those northern finns dragging on causing a civil war for the throne and the hungarians to invade me. The Germans are probably going to invade soon tooI am worried about getting asraped by Crusades though, any tips for that?
Math is hard guys.
I'm trying to understand this Administrative Government stuff.I started as the Count of Siracusa in the Byzantine Empire, and managed to retake all the lands in the Duchy of Sicily. However, I can't form the Duchy of Sicily, and seem to be stuck as a Count.Can you not add more duchies to an administrative realm unless you're the emperor? Am I just stuck as a count? How do I progress to being more than just a count in an administrative government? I don't even have an estate.
>>1869168>literal 30 year war, lost much of my western frontier, for snow huts in the taigaHate tribals so much
>>1869253If you have no estate you're a feudal vassal. Try interacting with the Emperor to adopt Admin maybe?
How do I make the Ai convert culture. Is there a mod?
>>1868727No. Adventuring is op. As predicted. Cuz every ruler pays like 300 gold even if they go bankrupt.

New to ck3 (jumping from ck2) ,so are there any non-conquest cbs? Where are my tributary related cbs? What if i don't want to blob but weaken my neighbors and take their wealth, prestige etc.
>>1869307Hahahaha no you can only blob
>>1869319Sad! Imagine a /gsg/ game that you can't say a crushed enemy "give me X% of your income every year"
>>1869307"raid for captives", if you have human sacrifice as a tenet
I feel too smallbrain to maximize an intrigue focused landed character. Really fun as an adventurer but i always feel like my only options is to be a murder hobo. And that only lasts as long as i dont get caught which i always do.
So is there a mod thatmakes administrative realm the default realm state? e.g. Duke has Counts as admins etc
>>1869168https://youtu.be/QiGl9YaJxaE?t=13

How come they are called Albanians and not Arberians like they were in CK3?

Is the torturer route in CK3 any good? I almost never go intrigue when playing even though it sounds cool. I have so many prisoners just sitting there...What can you do with it that's better than stewardship or diplomacy? I feel like I'm missing out by min-maxing all the time.
>>1869735Just roleplay a good king instead of being evil.
>>1869862You can use murder to break alliance blocks or get your kid on a throne they might be in line for. Can also steal artifacts and things like that. Torture can be good if you got the traits for it cause you can use it for stress relief or for cultures that have the option cut their dicks off and make them unable to be rulers if you notice a future target has a possible strong heir down the line. You can also get things like selling hooks and fabricate them on rich leaders then cash them in if not outright kidnapping them and ransoming.It can be fun for RP purposes or gimmicks then things like Learning, Martial and Stewardship which are just always great. That being said an intrigue/freebooter adventurer can be good fun too.It used to be broken as hell cause you can do an abduct scheme on somebody you were about to attack and as the event for capturing them was on screen you could declare war on them and instantly capture them for 100% war score.>>1869735>Ah yes, a mental breakdown with anything I doTime to get that skill that gives you stats for higher stress!

>>1871382>>1871371Think it's fecund
>>1871306Never seen them switch religions at all. The odd iconoclast emperor every decade or so but he never lasts. Even converting their entire land to Catholic they never switched.
>>1871107yeah,i raised him then got an option to adopt in exchange for 150 dynasty fame which is a hit but i like him
>>1871466in my last game with the 867 startdate, 2 conquerors spawned at the same time with the scourge of god modifierone was hungary which after eating most of byz somehow made them switch religion to taltosism. maybe a governor with a claim to the byz throne became a vassal of hungary and later got elected or invaded the byz state. byz actually survived the collapse of hungary's empire, down in morea/crete, still following the steppe religion. paradox made it really stable.I see states converting much more often, while he was still alive hungary's ruler kept flipping between taltosism and catholicism. The vikings won in england and formed a british empire, and flipped between norse and islam
>>1871295It should be even more stable. Ive been playing in the empire and not really looking to become emperor and one problem ive seen is the civil wars spiral cause the emperor ends up getting or stripping all the theme titles over time and refuses to hand them back out. So it created all those malice's of him holding titles he shouldn't so it keeps causing endless tyranny/claimant wars. Before i decided to flip to the current emperor and hand them back out (Cause i wanted to use my theme armies for my own use and he was using them all the time) he had removed all but 4 Theme titles. 3 if you dont count mine since i was generally being neutral.

Can you participate in crusades if you aren't Catholic but share the pope as head of faith?
What's the best way to break up byzantium now admin is a thing?They're starting to blob pretty big and I'm getting scared.
>>1872224they should have naturally crumbled within the first 50 years
>>1872222I dont believe so. I was playing the Christian faith thats unique to Iberia (forgot the name) and was surprised when a shitload of crusaders were sieging down Granada one day.
the adventurer is kinda fun and it's a mechanic thats good for mods as well but the constant event spam is really fucking annoying
>>1871371Speaking of architected ancestry, which trait do you guys usually pick? I always go for fecund because I have trouble picking it up normally.
>>1872182i like playing as a norse queen being rallied by a bbc, not interested in bleaching one bit
>>1872222I saw a bug in the forums where the catholic pope might randomly call a crusade for a different religion (of which he is the head) and it breaks the game
>>1872225What causes them to break? In all of my l games so far they're really stable and usually reconquer Sicily and blob into the middle east. The only thing that stopped them in my latest game was the Mongols shitting on them.
>>1872224take the byzantiompill, somehow make one of your dynasty/sons a vassal there, and play as him later on>>1872254the real annoyance starts when you do that studying thing that makes every single one of your followers/court wants to write a book
I keep trying to enjoy this game but it's not easy, as soon as you get through one or two generations the entire world is already unrecognizably retarded, the blobbing/bordergore is one thing but I can't stand how kingdoms flip religions on a whim. Also half of the landed characters are female which makes everything even worse since they keep spreading foreign cultures/dynasties
>>1872578I saw a man spreading foreign culture and religion and I was like 'what a cuck'
Which DLC should I disable when playing?
>>1872578that's why you start a new game every 3 generations
Chariot races are actually pretty good. I got 1500 gold for completing one and I didn't even win the bet I placed
>>1872578The CK3 "community" are mostly against "railroading" and want a random sandbox with very few scripted pre-determined events. I'll never understand this sentiment. I want my actions to be the alternate history, while I'd prefer everything I don't directly interact with or indirectly influence to generally follow history. It's infuriating that retards constantly push for earlier start dates, even though game usually implodes and deviates so far from history even with 1066.
>>1872224Admin seems to be completely one or the other in my games. Either they're very stable and manage to blob till they can basically reform Rome, or they're having civil wars every five seconds.There's no in between.
Is there any solution to late game lag? I hate how after a few generations the game slows to a fucking crawl and every few seconds completely locks up.
>>1872689more L3 cache on your CPU
>>1872689https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2276469612
>>1872689Upgrade your toaster
>>1872815Modder here, this doesn't fix lag anymore sincr 1.13.
>>1872840It's certainly better than nothing.I went from 38k characters to 23k and there was a noticeable improvement.
Fun fact, if you reform the Asatru faith and make a holy order before the Jomsvikings are formed your holy order will be called the Jomsvikings.
>>1872873Isn’t it the same order, you just formed them yourself?
>>1872880No it's a different decision. You don't get Jomsborg or anything else from the unique decision.
Do you guys have any tips on getting the pure blooded trait? It's the one trait I can never breed into my line.
Yeah, adventurer mode is kino
>>1872910dats rite dats rite we wuz samurai
what are some quintessential coomers mod?
>>1872925There was a giantess mod a while back that I wanted to get but it got abandoned.
Why are the Crimean Goths not in the game?
Best way to kill my leper heir?
am i blind or is there literally no mod to affect religions? you have mods that can freely affect characters, turn whole titles titular, turn all holdings into a county into cities, even dynamically change a culture without needing to hybridize/divergebut religions are completely out of reach? i dont want to reform, for example, i just wanna tweak some things in my character's faith, without needing to add more tenet slots just to add freaking Rite. No, scratch that, I don't even want to clutter up my save with my new custom religion, if every maturidi has to deal with legal witches then tough for them. These things i can do with console commands, but my point is no one for four years ever thought of having those features into a tidy mod interface?
>>1873095I recall some mods existing that fiddle a bit with doctrines or moving tenets to doctrines so it is possible I guessBut changing it on a fly? idk
>>1873097yeah i know about Tenets to Doctrines, and the ones that add even more (flavor) Doctrinesits just something i realized after browsing the workshop, theres nothing that allows tweaking religions. Modders were clever enough for almost all the other stuff, like name a feature and there's probably a cheat/mod for it. as a returner i was even surprised you could change holding types and all that, i didnt believe it was possible a while backbut ther'es nothing for religions, which is not helpful for the times i dont want to reform a faith. Cant believe cultures have the option, but religions dont
>>1873103Because tweaking a religion makes a new religion, nignog.>Ugh why can't I have Catholicism but just swap it to polygamyBecause then it isn't Catholicism.
>>1873114i fail to understand when mods can make norse a bureaucratic, sophisticated culture>vgh my noble barbarous norf sea umpiremy point is that i was surprised no one bothered. so either modding for it is hard (harder than culture or holdings) or for some other reason no one just gave a shit, which is surprising. instead we got all these new/agot religions and shit
>>1873118None of the cheat mods add new mechanics, they only piggyback what is already possible in the game, you can easily change an existing religion with events and decisons but to let you choose what to change would require a whole new interface, which is a lot of work. Cultural reforms are a vanilla feature, for some reason cultures have a lot more mechanics than religions even though the two systems should work almost identically.
I might be dumb, but there is no way to upload/copy a character you made in designer, then inject that into someone midgame right? You always have to go through the designer? (modded in this case to allow it)
>>1873304Save file editing should do it. If you only care about the appearance I think there's a few mods that let you change a character's DNA, it might be possible with just debug mode as well.
>>1873344having to go through a save is a pitaYoud think theyd at least add this basic QoL of modding your own character, even as like an optional fantasy thingsometimes my lines turn la goblina, and i just wanna reinfuse my old great-great-grandma's old features back
I always name my cats nigggerman, regardless of what color they are, it makes me laugh every time I get a pet event.
>>1873524CK3 would be truly lovecraftian if stress dumps weren't so readily available
Since the patch going Roman Empire really feels like a downgrade rather then just staying Byz. You lose the Varangian units and some of the decisions unique to it. Dont think its worth it unless you're doing the no half measures challenge mode.
how to defend a holy war when i'm outnumbered 3:1
chinese game now
>>1872925carnalitas and cbo
I hope they keep up with the weekly characters on the main menu. I played the Malinke guy this week and it was a pretty fun time. I'm also really appreciating that combat advantage seems to have a much bigger impact on battles now, I've gotten my ass kicked several times because I messed up and fought a similar-sized army on defensive terrain that favors them (and in turn I once completely stackwiped Saladin while outnumbered as Jerusalem by doing the same thing).
Was just bored and going through the Byzantine Emperor title history and got to Augustus. Is he the only character in the game living or dead that has 5 traits? Also kinda funny that hes only 21 cause the game doesn't go into the BC's.
>>1868668I outdid the greatest warrior ever being blind. Now the greatest warrior ever is a vegetable.
>>1873836>wearing armor almost completely compensates for being a decrepit vegetableI don't like how silly this game is.
>Angevin culture formed from Norman and Anglo-Saxon in 1034>English culture formed from Norman and Anglo-Saxon in 1036the fuck?
>>1873735Throw money at problem, hire mercs Try to pick your battles, focus on terrainPray to your god.
i'm disabling plagues, fuck this shit
>>1873921KWAB
>>1873924all my vassals are children because they won't stop dyingif i land any of my family members i know they will immediately dieand i'm already at the "very rare" setting (there hasn't been a year out of the last 30 that there wasn't a plague present somewhere in my realm)this shit is miserable
which is more fun as a very powerful adventurer attempting to stop adventuring and settle down-- should i settle down after I conquer a kingdom, or request invasion sponsorship of a powerful empire , or should i just buy an estate in the Byzantine empire and start as a small noble?
>>1873931Requesting sponsorship makes you vassal right? That sounds more funI haven't played as a landless noble house yet so I don't know how that works
>>1873935yeah requesting sponsorship makes me a vassal, it's either that so i become a vassal of the byzantines, or buy an estate in the byzantine empire, having my own independent kingdom makes the game too easy
>>1873952I buckbroke the Great Khan-- and defended the status of the black sea as a byzantine lake, and i wasn't even paid for it i just offered help to the giantess byzantine empress because i felt like it.
How do you guys deal with constant event spam? Intrigue events + legend promotion events while in a very critical war make me punch the fucking monitor.
>>1873931since you are already greek buying your way into nobility sounds more fun otherwise if its in some foreign land then it'd be better to just invade. in my current adventurer game the mongols just rolled over everyone, the byzantine empire doesn't exist anymore so once the Mongols either settle down or collapse i'll start to expand into the region
>-25 lossesHow did they got up
>>1874016>How do you guys deal with constant event spam?you don't, just have to accept it for what it is and as the game ages more it's going to get even worse
>>1874058Press ganging survivors.
>>1873952How does the estate thing mesh with the adventurer camp? Do you have both to build?
>>1874096you can't have both
>>1874099So if you agree to be sponsored by the Byz emperor do you lose your camp? How do you move around?
>>1874101You're no longer an adventurer when that happens
>>1874101You're still landless but you have a liege lord and a family name. The camp is sold, you get some money back and now you have an estate that allows you to have buildings similar to the camp. You can’t adventure but you can still relocate your estate around within the Byzantine empire. The mechanics change and it becomes a family vs family focus sort of like republics but you’re trying to make a name for your family and other ambitious families will cry to sabotage you and you compete with them. You can manage to get governance titles which are temporary count or duke titles and you get governance contracts and a governor skill. The contracts revolve around crime like embezzlement and fraud etc. You can choose to be corrupt or not.
>muwalladi basque karling king of aquitaineMaybe I should stop playing 867
>>1874108>The year is 877>The Queen of Byzantium is always Nubian.
>>1874103>>1874105I should try that route sometime. Do the missions that pop up favor a martial or more learning/intrigue focused character better?
I've always preferred using Restricted diplomatic range as it prevents a lot of silliness, but as a Leper King enjoyer it bothers me not being able to interact with most of Europe as Jerusalem in 1178, particularly to link up with the other Anjou dynasty members. I try not to ever use matrilineal marriages in male dominant religions, so marrying another Anjou is the only realistic way I can continue Baldwin IV/Sibylla's reign, short of taking that nonsense decision to retroactively change Baldwin V's dynasty to match his mother's.Also due to mechanical jank, Sibylla is unable to bring her firstborn son to her court or control anything about him because he's being raised by his father's family over in ItalyI guess nabbing a Mediterranean island county to extend my diplo range close enough to Italy and the Angevin realm is the easiest way to solve both problems, but Jerusalem isn't really in a position to send all its armies far away at game start, they'd be completely exposed to Saladin when he decides to attack. Thanks for reading my blog
I keep trying to play this game, I choose the early start date, but my game keeps getting fuckedBy which I mean paradox releases a new update that makes my save fucked before I get too farAlso I always have cringe bs happening on the world mapLike last time, the Magyars got instantly genocided and btfo and never settler Europe, and eastern Europe went Muslim Also I don't have all the DLC because I'm a poorfag I only have half of themAnyway, I think I'll start a new play through again
>>1874202You can roll back your game version through Steam if you really want to continue a campaign. Usually only the major updates that come out with DLC (like Roads to Power recently) will break saves, you can usually load a save fine even if it's warning you that it was started on a previous version.>I choose the earliest start dateGenuinely try out 1066 instead for your next game, I find that the world remains saner.
I conquered Rome, was thinking of turning it pagan but was like fuck it, and sweared fealty to Byzantium to play as an adminstrative governing style. Basileios refuses to die, his father and grandfather were also great men.
Jarl Hæsteinn is going to move to Iberia and convert to Christianity, and the his ancestors will be the ones to win the Kingdom of Jerusalem in the first crusade. The Hæsteinn dynasty shall be known eternally as God's chosen rulers of the Holy Land.

Do people actually play as meme religions like Messalians and Adamites?Are there any non-Christian meme religions in the game?
