How fares your empire, /ck3g/?

West Slavic Attire pack is out.
https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/west-slavic-attire-content-creator-pack-now-available.1718037/

Previous thread >>1888908

Question of the thread: What do you think of CK3's religion system? How do you think it could be improved? I saw this video on the topic and I thought there were some good ideas.

Because the one cultural tradition or innovation grants both the ability to go a viking and all the men at arms from the Norse.
The Estonians and other Baltic and even Finnic tribes did raid overseas, but like most things in CK3, it was poorly implemented.
>>
>>1904514
You get the ability to go viking from the long ships innovation. I think I did hear about Baltic peoples serving in the Varangain guard, so maybe it's a reference to that. But by that logic Anglo-Saxons should get Vargangian veterans, so who knows.

Depends on what you're doing but I'd say yes. They're better than regular heavy infantry and the tradition helps you with fighting in the desert. What are you doing?
>>
>>1904588
Are they better than varangians though
>>
>>1904596
They counter other heavy infantry so it really depends
>>
>>1904596
I'd say Varangians are better just because they get terrain bonuses. But it might not matter if you're in the desert. You can look at the stats and decide for yourself here.

There are only 3 game mechanic DLCs and one of them is pure shit and can be skipped (Legends of the Dead).
Rest is cosmetics or flavor packs which you buy only if you want to play in that region.

>>
>>1904967
The game is literally made for this. It's for mal-adjusted autists, not history enthusiasts.
>>
>>1904833
Most historical goals you could have in the game are easily accomplished in the lifetimes of 1-2 characters. Unless you're doing something outlandish, or at least expanding way beyond historical limits, you're going to hit your win condition way before your campaign has had much of a chance to breathe.

And to boot, no one's going to post screenshots of their modest historically-plausible accomplishments. "Oh, you kept Scotland independent from an English AI that never attacks? Good for you."

Why is the AI so anal about holding de jure capital? Even if the capital itself is a shithole with no buildings

CK3 is really bad for that because you can't really develop your province and add more holdings so you're limited to those few provinces that has 7 holdings
>>
>>1905647
You actually can if you play Metropolitan legacy with admin government
>>
>>1905703

I'm pretty sure that just adds 1 building slot to a city, not a new holding.

I got kind of stagnant in my landless run because I wasn't sure at what point I sure I should get land and how exactly I wanted to go about it. If I built up piety on a guy I could buy a claim on a large area but that feels a bit too "cheap" almost? The kind of armies you can build if you really start focusing on that style is insane.

I can't wait for a return of the nonaggression/defensive/full alliance system from CK2
he ended up hiring every single holy order that was now free from the crusade and using all of the cash rewards for mercs, but it's kinda lazy

Is there a console command to force my ruler into becoming an adventurer?
>>
>>1906991
You may have to "die" or switch heirs or something to get the option. If I "skipped" an heir as a landless it would make a new group name and camp with new levels and everything (but keep some MAAs etc weirdly)
>>
>>1906994
Damn. You'd think they could put a simple check every month for a does_player_have_land flag or something to cover this kind of thing.
>>
>>1906997
I think its supposed to happen automagically like you expected I don't think its intended behavior just stating a possible solution where you might be able to force it.
>>
>>1907013
Appreciate the advice but it didn't work unfortunately. Despite having children, the game concluded I didn't have any heirs and gave me a game over after I died. Didn't feel like playing another dynasty so abandoned that game. Might look for a mod that allows me to go adventurer anytime in case this kind of thing happens again.

What's the fucking point of complaining about DLC pricing?
They've done this forever, literally nobody except for retarded fucking whales even buys them anymore, everyone knows this, paradox included. Meanwhile we keep pirating the DLC and Paradox keeps pretending not to know, while driving the price even higher so they can continue leeching off the whales while the rest of us get free updates. If it ain't broke.

Holy fucking shit why is it only the player that gets this stupid fucking development killing 10 year debuff that effects every single barony in your realm that more than likely fucking refreshes before the 10 years are up? If their stupid fucking ai can't deal with the shitty mechanics they add in they shouldn't even bother putting them in.
