>Play as a Castilian custom adventurerYep, It's East Asia time. If you're not going to play as a Western European making an East Asian Empire, you're playing the game wrong
Art dev diary was suspiciously silent about Korean clothing.

Why the fuck are they adding chyna before finishing european content? There's fuck all to do outside of western counties and even they are extremely bare-bones. Is it because paracuck map painters exploded in chinkland and they try to gobble up some cash after a line of unsuccessful DLC?
>>2165254the only good part of the game was steppe nomad gameplay, so they're adding the obvious next step from that
>>2165254>before finishing european content*before starting european content
>>2165174this guy fucks
what are the good mods to play on a shitty pc niggas i pirated the game and dont know where to get shit outside of rin
>>2165254>Why the fuck are they adding chyna before finishing european content?To get Chinabux. That and the hordes need somewhere to rape and pillage
>>2165259stopped playing before steppe DLC, are steppeniggers actually fun? I heard that they were hilariously OP on release, did that get patched?
>>2165165so can you play as viking, travel all the way to japan and replace them with viking chads?
>>2165191korea has virtually the same clothing as china. Why waste assets on minute cultural differences? most weebs (dlc's target audience) will only care about japan anyway
When will Paradox release a CK like fantasy game?
>>2165963It's called Elder Kings
>>2165963Why would you want that? You saw what happened to Creative ASSembly after they started making fantasy games. You want Paradox to sink even lower?
https://pdxint.at/4mUX59hAuH - October 28th release date
>>2165963what do you mean?
>>2166155CA was already utter trash long before any fantasy game
>>2166221>2.5 weeksThat was quicker than I thought. With EU5 and the AOM + AOE2 DLC's coming out (or already have in AOM's case). This will be one eventful end of year.
i will do Lingua Franca as roman hegemony regardless of game lag or event spam.
>>2166289i just used SAM after conquering all of Persia, India, Tibet, Arabia, and Byzantium, it's too much busywork after that
>>2166295What's SAM?
>>2166311steam achievement manager
>>2166311steam achievement manageri enjoy working towards achievements and will get them fairly, but there's limits. like I had 3 month long CK2 campaign lose achievements back in the day because I copied the save file as a back up
>>2166319>can only get achievements without cheating>cheat>can't get achievementsfucking swedes
>>2166276Considering the absolute mess the previous two DLCs launched as, I wouldn't be surprised if this is going to be even worse.Should be fun for a week or two I hope.
>>2165199>Tang fashion>clevege is this smallLibtards of PDX will never have even the half of the soul of actual Tang
>>2166358Anon>Khmer fashion>Females have shirts and otherwise covered chestsThe poos had one rule and one rule only. Titties ought to be free.These people didn't give women shirts before the influx of Perso-Muslim culture. Yuan diplomat wrote a book about his time in Khmer Empire in his 20s.Sexpat central, girls are pretty and topless, but they spoil much quicker than Chinese girls (which he attributed to giving birth sooner than yonder in the land of Civility, rather than, you know, a lifetime under tropical sun). Every girl gets to be fingerbanged by a priest once she turns of age. The king makes it a point to fuck his entourage as loudly as possible every night since it scares off Shiva.That, my friend, is some genuine fucking soul that Paracucks can't even fathom so they censor everything with random nonsense fabric wraps >>2165199 and shirts >>2166221.
>>2166406What is Paradox's problem? There's nudity in the game. They literally put a haha funny naked Christian cult from the 2th century that had at most 3 adherents prominently in the game.
>>2166424Well they did make a comeback.
>>2166406this is the one and only thing that I am absolutely sure (coom) mods will fix, and quickly
>>2165165can I get a good guide or tutorial or something to help me out? I've played the Duke of Bohemia 1066 for almost 100 years trying to go tall and my income is not even 100 gold/month. How is this >>2166289 even possible?
>>2166561he's cheating
>>2166561the person you're replying to is cheating lol
>>21665611. the lesbian is cheating2. what are you spending your money on?3. how are you handling succession?4. how much are you expanding and what's your demesne like?Give us some screenshots for context, we can point you towards the screens to find out info to improve
>>2166489Last I checked porn mods for CK3 were rotting away.
>>2166561That guy's cheating, but to kickstart your economy in ck3 you need some initial capital. The way to get this is through war. Specifically, sieges as opposed to battles. You should actively avoid battles because if you get 75% warscore from battles you can only siege down 25% warscore before it auto-peaces you at 100%.Siege provinces that have a lot of loot and where feudal vassals primary holdings are, with luck you can capture them and ransom them for 100 gold each. Don't siege the enemy's capital because if you captute their heir or them that's less you can siege before the auto-peace.If you're catholic try to get virtuous traits because it makes the pope more likely to accept giving you free money.Actually upgrade vassals contracts, 0.3 gold might not seem like it's worth it, but it adds up.Use your steward to increase development, NOT collect taxes. You will get far more in the longterm this way.For buildings it's pretty obvious, build the ones that give the most direct gold, always prioritize farms and fields.There's probably a bunch of min-maxy crap you can do with perks, marrying a high stewardship wife, and heir tutoring to get a perfect steward build but I wouldn't know anything about that because I roleplay.
>25h2 winblows11 update rolling out>it doesn't fix the whole-system freeze in ck3lol fuck
Which of the event writers has the fucking fart fetish? There are like a dozen events devoted to this shit. I got an event where my court jester was farting and the whole event was literally *toot toot* over and over again. There wasn't even an option to object, just bullshit like "a flatulist and a scholar... mmhm you are most welcome here! -50 stress"
>>2166805toot toot, the joke is dead
Is Tours and Tourneys and Royal Courts even worth it. The only good thing about Courts looks like the culture mechanics
>>2166894Pretty much all the DLC is just giving you OP modifiers with little to no roleplay purpose. Roads to power is okay because the Administrative mechanics are at least interesting and landless play is incredibly fun despite how broken it is.
>>2166894Roads is the only must have because they gate alot more interesting content behind it compared to other DLCs. It's funny how it's well received for doing that, like if they released landless play as free update I believe it will be shitted on like other DLCs for being not worth the price.
>>2166911posted in the wrong thread like a retard
>>2166932Favors and hooks if you want a noblewoman or just random followers you come acrossAlso romance and elope works too
>>2166704thanks for the breakdown, I'm used to other boards/generals where people are not so helpful. I didn't know I could direct my children/ward's lifestyle choice, so my heirs would inherit with some random attributes. Now that I know how to, I can streamline everything into stewardship. Also the sieging strategy is good, I guess I need to max out the mangolenes for that?
>>2166805If you play with VIET you rarely get the vanilla fart events.>captcha WNSGAY
What happend to ck2 agot generals? Why are none ck3 agot generals yet?
omg it's not cheats, it's QoL!
>>2167251is the VIET writing any better than how awful it was in CK2? also it had a bunch of "you stubbed your toe -5 prestige' shit
Why the fuck do your relatives have to be 20 before you can seduce them? Why do you need a specific perk to be able to? I got hit by the "Your older sister is a 19 year old CHILD, you sick fuck" on my first playthrough.
>>2167405It's alright. At least better than vanilla's gay events.>>2167416Wokeness.
looking forward to larping as Oni via Vikings in Japan on Halloween desuhopefully the perfidious swedish code doesn't violently shit itself
i swear to god i am hoing to find the fattest breasted jap i can find and pump her full of a dozen genius beautiful kidscrusader kings? whats that?
>>2167416I legitimately have no clue, you can seduce random unrelated 16 year olds but if it's a close relative they need to be at least 20.
>>2165513yes they got patched to be even more OP
>>2165283bump>>2166805there are so fucking many there're even court events for this shit>>2166489name some>>2166406PDXwagies need to tune shit up
>>2165165I'm fucking done with CK3 bros. Can't stand that toddler shit anymore. What are some must-have CK2 mods that work with the latest version. Anything that expands on the mechanics especially. I have all the DLC.
>>2167999>he bought Sons of AbrahamGood Goy Good
>want to colonise japan as the English>still haven't done the New English playthrough that I've been thinking of doingI might just unify the burgundies then invade Japan as a landless adventurer. The +2 from bailiffs and guilds(+3 if i focus on ledgers as my first innovation) is a really nice bonus to the occitan culture
>>2168143>want to colonise japan as the EnglishThis is Crusader Kings, anon. In what world can a 1.5m nation (half women, 5% actual combatants, the rest is farmers, clergy and occasional craftsmen) colonise a nation of 10m (with armed peasantry to boot)?
>>2168175uhhh just invade them and then set your court chaplin to convert religion and your steward to convert cultures?????
>>2168175>In what world can a 1.5m nation (half women, 5% actual combatants, the rest is farmers, clergy and occasional craftsmen) colonise a nation of 10m (with armed peasantry to boot)?
>>2166406>The poos had one rule and one rule only. Titties ought to be free.I remember on release seeing some culture in the northeastern jeet region where everyone was topless. they were all wearing loincloths or something along those lines. Don't see why they'd cuck here but not there.
There is a gameplay stream happening right now.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cz_7dy0G88o
>>2166289CAN SOMEONE TELL ME HOW TO CHEAT OR OPEN THE DEBUG MENU IN THIS SHITTY GAME PLEAAAAAAAAASEI cracked the game from fitgirl repacks and still dont know how to cheat, if anyone can please tell me the method I would appreciate it plox
>>2168313https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2986538297
>Watch the livestream>They literally do nothing the entire timeBravo devs.
>>2168401>Watch CK3 livestream>They play CK3What did you expect them to do? Alt+f4 and play a better game?
>>2168337>https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2986538297Anon I told you that I downloaded from FitGirlThe game I have is cracked, I cant subscribe to a steam mod, do you know how to turn on the debug menu or some site with mods for CK3?TopMods worked for cracked HOI4
>>2168433can you boot into debug mode via launcher?that's basically cheat mode
>>2167999Expand? Been a while, best I can recommend is some overhaul slop. Like dnd? Got it. Like warhammer? Got it. Like dolphins? We got it boy.
>Finally get an event referencing religion as more than just "I was thinking of [ROOT.GetFaith.GetHighGod] before my wife farted in my general direction" in a medieval feudalism GSG>It's part of the possessed event chain as part of all the other "you're going insane" fluffOkay
>>2168436>can you boot into debug mode via launcher?I dont know how to do that, should I do it from Paradox Launcher or something? FitGirl do add that app but I rarely use for modsAgain anon I would deeply appreciate it if you explain it to me like Im a retard, this is the only paradox game that I cant use cheats on
>>2168449I'm surprised they haven't added mlp references yet
>>2168449>Game set in the middle ages>not a single mention of Mary>only 12 mentions of Christ
>>2168414Wonder if the CK devs have access to EU5.
>>2168521it's only accessible via the launcher as far as I'm aware ofyou'll have to google events n shit but it's generally reliablethere's also specific scripts it can run, or command lines starting with "effect", but if you typo either of those two it'll crash the game.Stuff like changing the holding type, adding trait experience, etc. I'd recommend writing things like that down on a sticky note or notepad file that you can ctrlc->ctrlv without issue.examples below. feel free to ignore emYou open the console in-game by pressing ` (or ~ apparently idk this shit I have a `)So say you want conqueror trait but not just that, the gigadick scourge of the gods modifier.>be an independent duke or above`>do not paste both lines at once, do each one separatelyevent conqueror.0001effect = {add_character_modifier = ai_extreme_conqueror_modifier }if you want to remove the scourge of the gods modifier from yourself just change "add" to "remove". Also, you can do exit->switch character to remove it from a different character or give the extreme thing to them instead if that flips your skirt. That means not playing in Ironman. I believe there's a console command for playing a different character but that's more time consuming.also, bypass_requirements lets you do as it implies, but if you're on a slower system it's gonna lag a bit at first when enabled.say you use bypass_requirements to get the Chivalry trait as an Adventurer, but you don't want to do all the chivalry shit.`effect = { add_trait_xp = {trait = knight_errant value=100}}Or say you simply added the lifestyle_blademaster trait to yourself and want it maxed`effect = { add_trait_xp = {trait = lifestyle_blademaster value=100}}again, if you typo "effect..." commands it will crash the game. You want to make extra sure you know what those experience-gaining traits are called under-the-hood.also look at https://ck3.paradoxwikis.com/Console_commands#Cheats
>>2168552actually I might be partially wrong on the "effect..." typo crash thing. I know it'll crash if you try adding experience to a trait that doesn't exist, at least. It might not crash if you try adding a modifier that doesn't exist.
>>2168533Utter woke nonsense>>2168313Go through the launcher ranjeetAlternatively put in the launch option in the shortcut menu
>>2168552CK3 devmode is very clearly something designed by committee, it's total ass and without the wiki next to useless.it is in fact the exact sort of devmode you can expect from Current Year Paradox.
>>2168588Seems fine to me, what's wrong with it?
>>2168588Speaking of the wiki, why is it so shit compared to older ones? The CK2 wiki has literally every piece of information on the game, the CK3 one lacks basic stuff and in many cases is simply incorrect.
>>2168594Because anyone who looks into CK3 a hair deeper than "AHAHHA LE FUNNY INCEST EVENT" immediately loses all interest to engage in such work as writing a wiki.
>>2168610The incest is made purely for memes as well. There is no way to marry your cousin or uncle as a catholic, despite that frequently happening irl.
>>2168619Check a mod of yours, because that should be allowed>despite that frequently happening irlnot during the middle ages
Really not a fan of all these female boss-queens adventurers in medieval europe
>>2168640shut up bigot women are heckin stronk and valid
>>2168640Anyways, thankfully Paradox didn't make it painfully difficult to correct
>Guy who is my rival has been my physician for like 30 years>finally get tired of having a rival physician, fire his ass>cannot appoint anyone else physicianwhy is this happening? really don't want to rehire him now that he's super pissed.
>>2168671Hayuk
>>2168686forgot a screenshot
>>2168690IIRC think you have to search for a physician via intrigue menu in ck2
>>2168692i know you can do this in ck3 but i don't see the option in ck2
>>2168690>>2168702you'll have to find a courtier in character finder with the physician trait or really high learning and invite them to court, tribals can't do it, I forgot about that
>>2168709tribals can't do the search for a physician decision, I mean
>>2168709>>2168712i'll try this thanks
found this really weird fucking guy in my court, no idea when he showed up. i've been fighting a lot of wars.i'm guessing he's some scripted chad.
>>2168175they successfully colonised india so clearly its possible
what do you do when the 2 males you start have 6 daughters each?
>CK3 is super moddable trust me>no effect for generating a house for a lowborn
>>2168997That happened under completely different circumstances compared to one of the poorest European nations at the height of the medieval period.
>>2168175>(half women, 5% actual combatants, the rest is farmers, clergy and occasional craftsmen)You are a normalfag retard who doesn't know anything about Middle Ages
>>2168175It's Crusader Kings 3, anon, the game basically like if someone took /tg/'s Local Lord copypasta and made a game out of it. You have a few thousand men at arms (in full harness) and you can easily conquer and rule over the entirety of the japans. Any local japanmen get uppity you just swat them down while your steward settles their land with Big White Cock one county at a time.
>>2168552YES I FOUND IT AHAHAHAHI found it in the launcher file and had to click on the Dowser exeThank you so much bro

What the hell am I supposed to do about the Byzantines? They've had the same emperor for about 40 years and have managed to explode like this in the meantime.
>>2169287Damn your game is wild, based bongsI dunno man admin gov is stupid OP, they should fracture and have way more civil wars but what should be the case doesn't help you much
>>2169136What do you expect when Paradox gets their information about the middle ages from Game of Thrones and pop culture myths?
>>2169287>France>The FrenchWhat the fuck is that? Peasant revolt or something like that?
>>2169300nomads probably
what's a fun little island to play and be left alone? I might try Sardinia, but is there anything else? Sicily keeps getting harrassed by the Byzantines non-stop
>>2169310Hokkaido
>>2169310shikokukyuushuukarafutotakasago(less commonly known as taiwan)ceylon
>>2169305>nomads probablyI haven't played since that DLC came out. Can you just randomly switch to a nomadic nation despite being a firmly settled culture or is it some nonsensical steppniggers invading from the other side of the continent somehow?
>>2169345I'd imagine it's the latter but I think the former can happen because of adventurer bullshit (I never bought Roads of Power so I don't actually know)
>>2169310Ireland, Iceland, Sri Lanka
>>2169378>ireland
>>2169390>anglo>not the intermittent wave of annoyance streamers from Scandinavia
>>2169297I expect nothing of Paradox Black, but I did find a workaround though
I just received the "At death's doorstep" notification, so I'm planning my exit to leave the best inheritance possible. I have High Partition and High Crown Authority, I own a kingdom and 2 duchies. Is it a good idea to create 3 more duchies I have available, so that my kids will inherit more? Even though it will be split up.
Have you done your palace intrigue 101 homework before playing as a chink?
>>2169462nah they're getting invaded by Vikings or SumpaActually I should double check released religious maps to see if Paradox saw fit to implement a China-specific branch of Nestorianism for holy site memes, I think I'd recognize the name if I saw it
>>2169468Paradox teased a "conquer China as Haesteinn" achievement in their recent gameplay stream, which is reason enough to do it.
>>2169468I see a map in google image search but it's blurry and locked up inside fucking tiktok>>2169470aw shit
>>2169300Populist Revolt, yeah. It's somehow still alive.>>2169290Dude...I'm here lapping up scraps in Iberia as Britannia and ERE both have rulers with Conqueror and have 15k and 12k troops. Juszt noticed Khazaria as I zoomed out for this also has conqueror (19k troops). Britain has 5k heavy infantry. Shit is terrifying.This campaign was supposed to be settling in Iberia and conquering eastward to eliminate Islam but it seems there will be other plans. Hoping the Arabians cap the ERE and Khazaria caps the Brits.

sharks don't mistake people for common prey (if they did they'd be tearing us up constantly). sharks attack people intentionally due to various reasons, sometimes you're in their territory and they want you to go away, sometimes they're really hungry and are down to eat anything, sometimes they are really angry and want to punch somebody and sometimes they are simply curious and want to know how you feel like in their jaws. shark attacks are far more common than you think as well.also why am i getting shark attacks in waters that freeze over?https://youtu.be/h9q6jVAY_EA?si=ZzwwgTytuwdfxd8f
does the one trick still work where you give your custom character a billion pieces of a negative attribute in the save file and the game will calculate all of those instances of the negative attribute in the character score but adjust it to just one when you start playing the game?
>>2169873>also why am i getting shark attacks in waters that freeze over?Says right there, there's divers going for them sea sponges and pearls in %PROVINCE_NAME%
>>2169892but shark attacks only happen in warm waters and %PROVINCE_NAME% is in the arctic coast so there isn't really any diving going on there anyway.
>>2169893Stop denying reality and focus on protecting your pearl divers
>>2169893They're polar bears, stupid pearl-clutching peasants just don't know any better
>>2169455No you should disinherit everyone but your primary heir
>>2169521Submit to your Bongoloid masters and embrace your future of bad teeth and a robust economical system, or perish under the weight of horse fucking, goatfucking or an excessive waste of chinaware>5k heavy infantryWhat the fuck, are they only stacking infantry?
>>2169215>served Oda Nobunaga between 1581 and 1582Unlikely but who knows
>>2169934>>2169934>No you should disinherit everyone but your primary heirbut won't this give me a huge renown penalty? Or whatever it is, it will hurt my dynasty, right? Is it worth it in the long run?
>>2169455If you completely control them and have enough prestige, add feudal elective to the duchies. Since you're the only elector you can freely choose to grant them to your best son. Elevating them to your co monarch should make whoever you choose be your heir and I think it gets rid of their short reign malus.
>>2169954It costs like 150 renown per kid, and they'll obviously not be happy, but I usually give them land after anyway when I'm playing as my then heirI mean you're fine as is and playing it the way that isn't soul destroying EU4 number crunching autism anon, so you do you, high partition is goodBut if you want to he a sperg from day one you're always hand picking your heir (until your eugenics program goes completely awry when some plague wipes out half your family and your third son who is ONLY intelligent and beautiful is passed over for your retard slow cousin or some shit)
>>2169954Also if you didn't realise, say your 2nd/3rd sons are in line to get a duchy each, and it's one you wanted to keep, but you have others your main heir is going to inherit you don't care for, just give no 2/3 the shit duchies there and then

So what exactly are you doing for your first All Under Heaven playthrough
>>2170015mali adventurer going straight to japan
>>2170015Making a mod to disable east asia
>>2169936I absolutely will not submit to a pagan lord. They have a lot more man at arms than just the 5k heavy infantry. I'll take a screenshot when I get home. This campaign is certainly becoming a thunder dome. I'm lucky none of the Iberian realms have allied with any of the empires.
>>2169521who's the xen/xer pronounds country? cordoba?
>>2170015a loyal servant of the Son of Heaven, of course
>>2170000>british are piratesAye, ye scalliewag
>>2170015Honourable Ronin adventurer, I will challenge every dishonourable lord to a duel until I lose and commit sudoku
>>2170053>honourable >roninI dont think you know what a Ronin is. By default, ronin are dishonourable because they betrayed or disavowed their lord.
>>2170056My lord was betrayed by his closest ally and then denied sudoku, we were scattered to the wind
any good magic mods yet?
Should have done this ages ago
>>2169994Philip J you've done it again
>>2170026Oh they're pagan? They got NORSE'D then? What's your religion and culture map like then?
>>2166793Had the same issue. I was able to avoid the freezes by keeping task manager always visible while playing in windowed mod. Annoying but at least the freezes stopped. This makes me think the problem is on paradox side
>>2170207might want to mention that workaround in their tech support forum if you can be assed, may help them understand what could be fucking with things.I've been able to get around it by playing in vulkan the entire time which is a bit of a lol lmao
>>2165165is there a good new player guide? never played any CK game. I start CK3 and am confused as fuck, I'm just trying to take over shit that it tells me to by military force.I'm also retarded and don't understand what's under my control and what isn't, is there a visual indicator on the map of sorts I'm missing? im dumb as fuck genuinely. any tips or resources would be appreciated thank you
>>2170229Do you have Iberian struggle? If not, play as one of the Christians in Spain to learn. Just go through the tooltips and pop ups and deal with each one as they come. Expect failure, but you'll get the hang of it. If you do have Struggle for Iberia I recommend turning it off.
>>2170229I'm one of the noobs that's been asking around here, though I did play CK2 a bit, as well as Vicky2, so I kinda knew what to expect. This is a complex game, so take it easy, don't feel bad about starting a fresh game after you've fucked one up. The one youtuber I found both informative and not annoying was this guy, dig around and see what tutorial you'd like to watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-_kuxPI7sc&list=PLDLBnN-W_m2lcnvAQ1e6hvu7GnHJnRQF4
>>2170072if you count elder kings I guess
>>2170190Well fucking GALICIA, which has had a French queen for about 5 years, just ended the struggle under Status Quo. Now I barely want to play this retarded save.
>>2170015Custom Byzantine governor, rush Eastern Border unification, try to rush Roman restauration, reconquer as much as possible, switch to a non-heir child on death to become an adventurer, head east, become Chinese, work my way into the Celestial government and see how things go from there.
Why did they even bother adding baronies in this game?
>>2170413Could you imagine if they didn't?
>>2170416Yes, the game would be slightly less cpu intensive and the gameplay would remain exactly the same
>>2170420>the game would be slightly less cpu intensiveWhether you subtract from a zero or not, it stays a zero. Barons do not have any ai. They don't even get called in events.Paradox should focus on feudal relations MORE instead of gutting what very very very very very little threte is.
>>2170073Why did Africa get shafted so much, they already have a decision to unify Africa. It doesn't seem like it would take much work for them to create a titular empire like India or slavia. Even with the new dlc they dont even get a hegemony.
>>2170229Just play the tutorial, it's really good, by the time you finish you'll be familiar with about 80% of the content
>>2170229>I'm also retardedluckily for your ck3 is a game for retards
>>2165165I have been thinking of breeding in this game. Getting a male heir is laughably easy. You are essentially guaranteed to get a son sooner or later, because the odds are 50%.So, the only time you actually need to divorce your wife is when she enters menopause. It doesn't really reflect the medieval mindset, like the King of France had been married to Eleanor of Aquitaine for 15 years and was panicking because she had only produced 2 daughters and thought she was incapable of birthing a son.This type of thinking can be encouraged with secret fertility gene system.Every character has a gene.There are four gene types.>A - male gene>B - female gene>C - mix gene>D - infertile geneIf both parents have A gene, all their children will be boys.If both parents have B gene, all their children will be girls.If both parents have C gene or if one has A and the other B, there is 50% chanceIf one has A and the other C, there is 75% chance of a son and 25% daughterIf one has B and the other C, there is 25% chance of a son and 75% daughterRegardless of their parents' genes, every child has 20% chance of getting the D gene, which will mean they are infertile.

The only thing you can't fix is that one historical byzantine emperor being shown as a woman because one of his detractors claimed he was to discredit him, because PDX troons don't understand you shouldn't take biased sources at face value
>>2170420The game is already super fast, who the fuck seriously needs CK3 to run faster on the sim side? What it does need is some graphics fixes like I'm pretty sure the fucking thing does an unrestricted busy wait when you press esc and bring up the main menu because my fans always go haywire when I'm in that menu for more than a few seconds.
>>2170520>The game is already super fastSlows massively once you reach late game, granted 99.9% never even play until late game anyway so
>>2170229There's 5 things to manage>income>military strength>succession>longevity>vassalsCollecting taxes is a trap, development is better for the long run. You need good provinces to keep as your capital, like farmlands, plains, or floodplains, for their bonuses, as they have good economic buildings to support your economy/developmentWith money flowing in, it's important to have decent MAA and station them in provinces for their optimal benefit. I'm always for a siege MAA to reduced sieges to 2 or 3 months instead of 8, which can be a great military asset, but, otherwise, look to your traditions and check what your opponents have to counter (pikes vs cavalry, heavy infantry or cavalry against archers, archers against pikes, etc). Succession is the most key, since the game always starts gavelkind. One bonus to a province with several baronies is that all baronies go with the county upon succession, so keep building castles for your heir to take control of. Otherwise, some siblings can become allies and don't ever feel stressed about "losing" land, as you can press claims for wars.The learning lifestyle tree is great for health and development bonuses, which alloes you to live long, gain development, and delay succession even further. But, it also is good for progressing innovations, so you can work towards better succession laws/new eras, which gives better options for your culture, such as reducing gavelkind to heir-focused succession Lastly, vassals are idiots and only exist to hate you. Make their contracts give gold instead of levies, as levies are a useless troop; this can help your economics and MAA as you build more land for yourself and your heirs. It's fine to give into a faction to reduce crown authority as you can raise it again in 10 years, but pretender revolts will replace your kindship.
>>2170518>one of his detractors claimed he was to discredit himBased Dio scoring points to impress the new emperor.
>>2170520Speed is relative to how long actions take in-game.It's ridiculous standard siege takes 6 months, most medieval sieges didn't even last a month.
>>2170015making my way towards japan using vikings and replacing the japanese with vikings...or maybe trying to make that elf mod work with the new dlc, and replacing the Japanese with elfs, then conquering asia and replacing all asians with elfs, then using their clothes as a massive flex on all asians
>>2170559do the japanese have a cool culture to hybridizei refuse to pay paradox for any more of their shit, and i don't want to pirate the game either. but imagine making the ultimate seafaring warrior culture by hybridizing and interbreeding with them.
>>2170535"Wedding Night" takes weeks
>>2170568Which is why they should split the smallest time unit (Day) into Morning, Day, Evening, and Night.To adjust to that, they should make everything times shorter, so instead of a 4-month siege, only 1-month siege.So, you would end up playing as the character four times longer.The only things that would last the same would be pregnancies and monthly income.
>>2170576or they could just quarter the time everything takes, instead of adding meaningless day/night cycles that will do nothing. people are just going to FF through that shit.CK2 has an identical time format but manages to feel like you get a lot more done in a given month because it's better balanced. even with their dumbed-down shit (units can be raised anywhere, abstracting away the need to actually move units from their counties, ships just being willed into existence with a small gold cost) everything related to war seems to take for-fucking-ever in CK3.
>>2170582They are desperate to make everything last longer because the smallest time is a day.Battles have to last two weeks, so reinforcements can join the battle (14 ticks).If day is divided into 4 parts, battles could retain the same number of ticks and last 4 days.
>>2170015Becoming Chinese Emperor as a European adventurer
>>2170584battles should be over in a day, if you don't have reinforcements in place before then it's your own damn fault.this game bends over backwards to make things easier for the player, combined with the retarded AI it makes for unsatisfying gameplay. CK2 is just better in this regard, even the AI feels smarter in that game.
>>2170588I mean, if battles happen in a day, it would make defeat in detail more prominent, but would also mean your allies won't be any help unless you arrive in your destination on the exact same dayBtw, the game will crash if you try modding battles to last just 1 day, because every battle phase needs its own tick.
>>2170015Still intending on taking a viking to settle and fully integrate into northern Japanif that chinese tradition that gives 20 concubines to hegemons is available without hybridization I'm immediately ditching that in favor of propping up a norseman descendant as Shogun and proceeding to conquer China ASAP. Emperor if I have to.
>>2170592i'm just spitballing how it should go. the idea that battles takes weeks is ridiculous. a bunch of guys meet on the field and kill each other with swords. this isn't trench warfare, it's just straight-up murdering other people with pointy things. are there any actual medieval battles/skirmishes that weren't over in less than a day? i know wars could go on for a long time.i feel like the game doesn't punish you enough for poor tactics, you should have your forces in place before you engage instead of this shit where you trap the AI for a few ticks while your allies/bigger stack are moving in for the kill. in real life an army faced with a small party trying to bait them into open battle while the bigger army is moving in would tell the smaller bait army to fuck off.
>>2170588battles dont represent single battles but rather a series of battles and skirmishes in the province
>>2170602that is abstraction and cope
>>2170326This is exactly what I had in mind for mine. I haven't locked my Roman Empire runs yet but if I rush it I'm going to go as a bastard child so I can create a new dynasty and see what happens with the Roman Empire in my absence.
>>2170602>Maneuver Phase (2 days): The armies prepare for battle and the Commanders make their initial Advantage rolls.>Early Battle Phase (12 days): The armies fight and inflict damage upon each other daily and cannot retreat. If an army is defeated in this phase, all Routed Casualties become Fatal Casualties. This will lead to the defeated army being completely destroyed. Oddly, the first day of fighting would have Routed Casualties increase, but the number of armies shown will not decrease.>Late Battle Phase: The armies keep fighting and keep inflicting damage upon each other each day until either all soldiers on one side run out of Toughness or one side decides to retreat. If an army retreats, all remaining soldiers become Routed Casualties.>Aftermath Phase (3 days): The winning army gives chase to the defeated army and attempts to turn Routed Casualties into Fatal Casualties. When the phase ends, the defeated army moves into an adjacent Barony with all Routed Casualties and cannot be given orders until it finished traveling a couple of Baronies away, but will travel slightly faster than controlled armies. If all Routed Casualties are turned into Fatal Casualties, the army of the defeated side will instead be completely annihilated.Sounds like one battle to me.

>>2170853>I honestly can't tell if someone is part of my house or notI'm not sure but I don't think it really matters, your biggest backstabbers will come from your own house. Even your children can rebel against you if they don't like you. The house mechanic is just to accumulate renown, which gives you some upgrades.

>>2171615One thing I think ck3 did really good is that it allows you to reexperience that early game fun before you steamroll everything again and again without having to start a new game. Was never big on muh emergeant stories but I do find it fun to setup an empire and then come back as some next generation bastard to tear it down.
>>2170015Replicate one of Japanese folklore stories about one of their Empresses who went off to raid the shores of Korea for a while then came back with many riches, all while pregnant, then when she came back, the gods rewarded her with a strong, male heir who would go on to become the next Emperor who led the whole country to a new Golden Age of peace and prosperity thanks to also the efforts of his mother prior to that after she came back with lots of riches from raiding the Koreans, then put them to use back in Japan to develop the nation.
>>2171743>raidUm she conquered Korea, not raided it ok?
>>2171749do they actually say that?must have missed that part or something cause they only thing i recall reading is that they just raided and plundered their shores before returning with loot. i guess they're considered it "conquered" in the other, less used form of it where they sort of just completely dominated the battlefield and decimated the land in their wake. but if it were actually conquered as the word implies, then korea would have been annexed to the nation of japan... but they never did that, lol.
>>2171758To conquer something doesn't mean to annex something, retard. Stop confounding the meanings of words. For entirety of history to conquer someone was to lay waste to the country, raid it, plunder it and then fuck off home.
>>2171773the 'conquest' casus beli for crusader kings literally has you take the land by force then make it yours. conquest literally means subjugating by force then assuming control of said place. if you only go through there destroying and stealing everything without actually assuming control, all you did is raid and pillage.
>>2171773Jeez. Who shat in your gamingsupps?
>>2171758To be more specific(and assuming memory serves me right) they blew right through every single Korean power and made them tributaries. This continued for a while. Japan was pretty involved in Korea up until this battle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Baekgang and was even bestowed by one of the Chinese dynasties the title of Lord-Protector of all territories to the east of China or whatever.

>>2171775>conquest literally means subjugating by forceWrong, that is Subjugation as you have just said so yourself. >the 'conquest' casus beli for crusader kings literally has you take the land by force then make it yoursPDX is retarded, more news at 6
>>2171787Right now. Didn't play since before they added admin.
>>2171790Admin governments added a special thing where you can own a Villa that you can upgrade with various building and other amenities for various modifiers like Health Boosts or increased monthly income that no one else has, barring Adventurers and Nomads, who have their own version of that but a bit different. Plus some kind of extra resource called "influence" that you can make use off in some cases to pay off things with instead of gold or use it for schemes and some other shit instead.
>>2171795I know bro, I've been playing this version for a week and the game is complex enough lmao to have a pretty good idea how they work. I'm just curious if someone prefers one over the other and why.
>>2171781Isn't Clan government mainly just for Muslims?Feels kind of weird and auto of place, like, why don't the Irish or Scottish have access to it, or even some Norsemen?
>>2171801The only things that feels out of place is how 'vizier' isn't localized as minister or something and the laws/contracts. Otherwise works perfectly fine with culture titles and such.
>>2171801irish and scottish "clans" would have no mechanical impact on gameplay; the details of their cheifdoms and land ownership, with the present baronial and title system, is practically indistinguishable from the abstraction of the Feudal government type. A mid-tier stage of Tribal that doesn't have access to castles would be apt, but it's otherwise quite limited with the games' representations--strong family ties should be more important in the feudal system, anyways
>>2171834>strong family ties should be more important in the feudal systemYeah, that's what I like about Clan as a government. Also tax collectors are a nice mechanic that really shouldn't be unique to them, and the flexibility is neat too. More than anything I hate how contracts in feudal aren't really pro ruler, I mean probably best you get is forced partition and it sure as hell suck when you conquer a title and the previous AI king gave them literally every contract right you don't want them to have.
>>2170015Lingua Franca as the roman hegemony.

What am I even supposed to do once in become established?I kind of just lose interest at that point since you don't really get to do much else but wait around for money to come in.Maybe you try to now build various stuff throughout your demesne or something but it just gets boring at one point. I guess revolts might be a thing but if you're liked, they don't always happen, and when they happen, most of the time they're easy to fight against.The more I end up like the, the more I sort of realized what probably lead to some people doing all kinds of crazy shit during times of peace, mainly the Chinese at least where they would literally fill stone pools with milk and other shit they thought to have aphrodisiatic properties and then just gang fucking each other there. Shit somehow gets so monotonous you just feel like doing all manners of crazy stuff to switch things around.
>>2172394>supposed to do once in become establishedIf the only option left is blobbing, switch to someone who isn't your heir on your death and start adventuring into another region. Go watch your old realm prosper or shatter while you do your own thing.Have your little Welsh king continue to do his thing while you move down to Iberia and fuck with their rulers there. Leave behind a Welsh Castile while you assemble a war band to conquer India. Repeatedly cuck the Caliphs until they collapse on your way there.Things do get fun in multiplayer as you have several autists play their stories out against and with each other, but mp stability is absolute ass in the current patch.

Another bit is reevaluating the game and trying to trim the fat with the creation of dummy characters, ala the "Population Control” mod. This could be pretty good for the game

>>2172808Hipster faggots will pretend 2 is a good game
>>2172898In 1066 they're not particularly prominent. After Taira no Masakado's rebellion being crushed they lost their primary base. There's a bunch of them scattered about as imperial cadet branches, particularly around the kanto region where there should be a few Taira as vassals under the Minamoto who are more dominant under the Fujiwara then. In the 867 they're also gonna be scattered around as both the Taira and Minamoto have only just been founded as imperial cadet branches. It really is only under Kiyomori that the Heike line quite rapidly rise in prominence when the Fujiwara and the cloistered emperors start feuding and bring in outside help first from the Minamoto and then the Taira to counter the Minamoto. So the 1178 bookmark has them being at their zenith facing off against the cornerned Minamoto.

>>2173319>what are forgettable garbage?Obligatory comment that Coronations is a rancid little gay chihuahua post-coitus liquid shit smear and the easiest "would not recommend" of the entire game response
>>2173319Roads to power is the only major dlc which adds heaps. Minor mods I liked the viking and Persia one. But you have to play in the regions for it to be worth it
>>2173319absolutely get Legends of the Dead, you'll love it anon
>>2173319All Under Heaven is shaping up to be a must but obviously wait so people can see whether or not its complete shit yet.Roads to Power is pretty enjoyable, has both landless adventurers and administrative gameplay, its basically the Rome DLC. If you are interested in playing Byz, get this.I enjoyed Khans of the Steppe, does have some current shittyness around the Siberian Permafrost modifier and its way too focused on the Mongols despite them not beign relevant for 2/3 start dates but the gameplay is fun and definitely superior to the steppe just being tribal bullshit even if now Turkic tribes are way too Mongol in theming. Nomads are powerful, too powerful probably but at least interesting to contend with and fun to play. Tours and Tournaments is okay, the events are interesting enough and you can go through them, but its probably not worth $30 bucks.The rest are pretty shit. Royal Court and Legends of the Dead are some of the worst expansions in terms of value though I guess if you really like the 3D models being in a scene Royal Court could be worth something. But still both are hardly deserving of the title of Expansion. Event Packs are complete ass, Flavor packs are okay. Legacy of Persia is entirely 867 focused which is meh. Northern Lords is pretty meh. I do enjoy Fate of Iberia though I have not played in a while.
>>2173319Khans of the Steppe is the only one I've bought that I feel like I actually got my money's worth out ofWards and Wardens is actively bad, most of the events are either harmful or completely pointless, actually engaging with any of the systems it's supposed to expand just means you get spammed with stress and random characters deciding they hate you for no reasonTours and Tournaments is ok but Grand Tournaments get tedious after like the second time you do one, and tours aren't worth doing unless all of your vassals already love you, because any vassal can break it by deciding to lock you out, which defeats the point of half of themIberia is boring as shit so I could never get into the Iberian Strugglemy first run in the game was in Persia before I bought the DLC and I never played there again afterward so it was a complete waste of moneyNorthern Lords is ok but it just takes one of the few regions that's already fun to play in and makes everything blatantly overpoweredRoyal Court I guess is worth getting, but not because it's good, just because the game is blatantly unfinished if you don't get it
>>2169462Is this actually narratively fun or is it just yumejoshi slop
The only thing I want for royal courts is the culture stuff. I have no idea why despite not owning the dlc I consistently have -15 opinion by all my vassals for not having a great court despite not being able to access such mechanics
>>2170015Unify the Ainu and conquer Japan as themIf there's any kind of extinct Jōmon culture then probably try and revive them and take Japan (not expecting it but it'd be cool)
>>2173319Just pirate all the DLC, dumbass
>>2165165Including asia feels like a vain attempt to actually differentiate this game from CKII which is vastly more complete and has better mechanics. Without it it would probably just be a more expensibe, more modular (and by extension more insipid) version of the previous game.

What do you nigs like for your MAAs?
>>2173706Heavy cavalry, pikemen, and archers, each roughly a third of my total maa cap, because they're all incredibly kino.
>>2173706Heavy Cavalry, same reason as above. Just feels good. When Chyna drops I will definitely incorporate Gunners though, I wonder if there will be different "tiers" of handgunners or if thats just handled with increasing stat modifiers for later buildings. But 1066 handcannons and fire lances really should be a lot different from late 1300-1400's handgunners.
>>2173746That is just a realistic european army composition
>>2173746I can see that heavy cavalry tear ass especially if they're those armenians in hills but you don't bring any siege units? I've grown quite attached to conrois, xrossbows and huscarls this patch.
>>2173464It's a decently done and surprisingly big-budget FMV drama but it has a few caveats. It has some weird always online anticheat. Most of the choices will result in you dying instantly and the only major branching is at the very end to set up a sequel. Two of the main guys end up in love triangle with the mc but at least if you can choose in the fluff options to be simply using them and the romance isn't that big part of it. Also rather large portion of the time is decicated to two star-crossed lovers type of scenarios. If you're not allergic to some yume tropes it's nice and rather cheap experience.
>>2173751Siege units go without saying
>>2173775Do they? I've been eyeing up vaulters and elephants with that martial perk.

>>2173235It's not even about familiarity with Sengoku.It's that Japan circa 1066 is literally nothingburger. Fujiwaras won't get important for another 20 years, and the game literally doesn't provide foundation for that to happen in the first place. The 12th century start is also unfortunate in this regard.And even with, by CK3 scale, simply having all of Japan under your heel is a feat equal with ruling over Bohemia or England (England proper, so no Wales). It's fucking nothing.So all you can do with it is world conquest

>>2173895they seemed to gain some people who actually know how to make new government types so I'm hoping they'll add a bunch to create some variety
The game is really fun, once you deal with the money issue it becomes very easy, however I will not play the game anymore since the asia update will fuck my 8gb ram laptop, I'll just download the last version from fitgirl repacksAlso out of topic but can I change my SSD without losing all the info I have on my info? and can I upgrade the RAM without losing data?
>>2173909enjoy your 50 african tribal monarchies
Factions, as of now, are:>lower crown authority which gives nothing>install some random nigga and then install some random nigga and then install some random nigga and then ad infinitum because perpetual civil wars untill all nobles die and some obese inbred retarded spindly giant cancerous lustful sadistic deceitful skirt takes the throne. She is married to Jankel the village jew - a commoner. Somehow all her children are jews as well. They are in Lotharingia and everyone around them is a catholic. Pope won't give you caim because..... because....... uuuhhhhh..... mmmm......... -50 (base reluctance)>dissolve top title (permawar and everyone dies)>independence (permawar and everyone dies)
>>2173895>PajeetsProbably. They shit out a jeet DLC for Vic 3 instead of fixing the flavorless GPs.
How am I supposed to play this game without immediately getting horny and doing some degenerate shit for hours on end to the point I just waste all my time just so that I can cream my pants from it?I really don't want to treat this as some kind of porn game that inevitably has me doing shit my character wouldn't even do like cheating on his wife because some other woman looks better and has "good" traits like fertility and other shit that I can min-max things with, or somehow playing a female character and then just ending up turning her into a fucking whore that shits out bastards over and over and cucks her husband... But I keep somehow falling into that even though I want to just try and play the game normally for once and just sort of roleplay, but I can't, I keep going off-track, especially if I play for longer spans of time, I kind of just zone out and forget to roleplay, so I do whatever the whims of my peeepe wants or min-max shit like a fucking retard trying to game the system and "win" a fucking sandbox experience.
>>2173964Just play better games that don't turn you on, bro.
>>2173964There's something other to ck than getting off on collecting a harem and swimming in vast gold you don't need?
>>2173964there's a reason vikings and steppeoids are so easy they can be played one handed
>>2173942I want something akin to what CK2 has with the '[LMM] Powerful Vassals Factions' mod.It lets powerful vassals within your ream, like certain dukes with either lots of military backing or wealthy ones start their own personal factions, like, for example, "Faction of Duke Roger", then people who either like him or a his friends / allies within the realm can join it, but also those who don't necessarily agree with him, but who think he has great ideas of what should be implemented, and they will usually have a specific goal or mission in mind they want to achieve in like the next 5~10 years.They can choose between Glory, Prosperity or Faith, all of which have their specific subsections of what said powerful vassals wish to achieve:>Attack Neighboring Realm: Basically, they can gain support from others in your realm and if they have enough support, they can try to gobble up land from those nearby, either without your own realm, or outside of it.>Oust Foreigners from Realm: Let's them start a war within your realm in order to gobble up land of those who aren't of your primary culture and then throw them out.>Improve Public Image: Basically just gives them a modifier that increases public opinion for several years>Establish a Trade Route: Increases Tax Income for all Faction Members>Establish a New Settlement: Creates a new holding in a specific place they chose.>Increase Prosperity: For the leader and all Faction Members>Attack an Infidel Realm: Can give them a "Faction Assisted Holy War" casus belli>Oust Infidels from Realm: Same as the foreigners one but for those of a different religion>Convert a Province Religion: What it says.These are all the things this mod for CK2 does, and while it could be improved upon or changed a bit and whatnot for CK3, I would definitely love to see something like this in this one, if not officially implemented, at least as a mod as well, but haven't found any like it.
>>2173987Yes, deper political system is needed in CK3, but paradox advertised it as a game where you make a dynasty of inbred dwarfs and create religion with retarded name and then paint the map which isn't very fun. I don't think that with their track record even a single year of DLCs will fix all of that.They at the very least need to add proper vassal agendas and parties, not to mention the republics, proper law systems that reflect actual laws which were in place and having a law reform or establishment of a senate or parlament or something like that to be a big deal. As of now they are at best some flavours of elective monarchy where you just fabricate hooks in order to force votes no matter where your realm is. Most of Europe is ass - other regions are even worseReligions are ass. Especially the ones involved in CRUSADES. Bit weird imo for a game called CRUSADER kings.For some reason they are unable to make regional art. With exceptions - mongols and east asians get regional domicle graphics. Wonder who will be depicted on the coronation activity for China.And it's not like all of these things require some extensive work - there are already mods which do all of that but, apparently, paradox spends money on modders not to add content to the mods instead of developing the actual game.
>>2174011Republics need to be a thing and the College of Cardinals should also be implemented (even though I know there's some mod that sort of tries to make it work).Some of my more interesting playthroughs in CK2 that I still remember mainly seemed to revolve around playing as a republic, usually Patrician for a while until I end up as a Doge, then manage to just basically bribe all my bishops and sometimes family members into the College of Cardinals, so there was obviously some degree of complexity or at least a bit of an interesting system to play around with there as opposed to other shit.
Man imagine an MLP mod in CK3Like we already have equestria at war we need the CK3 version
>>2174026just play ck2 with the portrait mods if you want that. ck3 is never getting that due to requiring 3d models and shit

>>2174135As of right now, I'd say>must getRoads to Power and All Under Heavenfor introducing multiple new goverment types and ways to play. The game has been very good about including some features in the updates, so the base game has gotten a bunch of revisions that don't need the DLC to access. >optionalTours & Tournaments, Royal Court, Wandering Nobles, Khans of the SteppeGive some little bits that are used elsewhere; tournaments are okay with reduced animation mod and the royal court cultural stuff is good, while the court events have been paired down from their original set. Wandering nobles should be paired with the Wandering XP from traveling mod, as its rather isolated otherwiseKhans of the Steppe adds a new government but not everyone wants to play as a nomad--it is needed to face down nomadic enemies, who are otherwise just treated as tribals without the DLC>regionalNorthern Lords, Fate of Iberia, Legacy of PersiaGive buffs and flavor to those areas, if you ever play them. No new governments or locked mechanical features>eventspamCoronation, Legends of the Dead, Friends & Foes, Wards & WardensGives you events that you end up clicking through with minimal impact>>paying forall the modder aesthetic content, the modding community makes them better for free
I'm not sure if it was cause of a mod or something like that, but in CK2, I recall Patricians and Doges not really inquiring any penalties like loss of Piety or being ousted as Adulterers if they shagged random women pregnant while they were unmarried. I don't know whether it's cause they were not considered proper "nobility" or anything like that, and basically had to in most cases pay dowry to marry noble women, but I always found it kind of weird, though at the same time sort of fun to fuck around with that. You could basically just stay unmarried the whole game, fuck random women while cucking other rulers, denouncing whatever bastard that would spawn and only acknowledging the good ones, then legitimizing only the best possible ones to be future heirs.Wonder if, whenever they decide to do Republic for CK3, if they would implement it like that in there too, where you're not exactly proper nobility, but more like gentry, I guess. So some of those issue don't hit you as hard, and you can basically just fuck around like that there as well. Would be pretty interesting.
>>2174157Can only hope they won't repeat making some objectively retarded dlcs as they did for 2. Some of the ideas was good, but the execution. Fucking hell. You have a game around crusading kinds and their dynasties. Oh, how about we make it a free for all between immortal steppe viking werewolves and also immortal satanist merchants and the measure will be who can better sexually humiliate aztec invaders currently based in flanders.
>>2174157you vill get spammed with events telling you every time one of your vassals cheats on his wife and you vill be happy
>>2174171>mod the game to have 12 wives and 12 concubines at the same timeMistakes were made.
>>2174183i like the fact that the irish as a culture in ck2 at least were able to have concubines even if christian, then you would sometimes get letters from the pope telling you it's immoral and that you should drop them, then you could just tell him to fuck off.. but then he could excomunicate you for it lmao
>>2174163>Oh, how about we make it a free for all between immortal steppe viking werewolves and also immortal satanist merchants and the measure will be who can better sexually humiliate aztec invaders currently based in flanders.Those are only like two shitty DLC out of 20 or so, it's not that bad of a track record. You could disable Aztecs and meme magic events through game rules too. Only real problems I remember are le funny horse/bear(which you had to go out of your way to get) and the ridiculous buff the Norse got to their retinues with 3.0. I remember playing as a count there and creating the Scandinavian empire within like 20 years of game start once.
>>2174186That's in 3 too

>>2174194>byzantinesAlso, ewww
The fantasy content in ck2 was pure kino and they should bring back Secret Societies as soon as possible
>>2174203Remember when PDX said everything in CK2 would be in CK3 and wouldn't be sold as DLCI remember
Why doesn't the game have events or at least decisions that let you choose to celebrate certain Holidays specific to religions like Christmas, Easter, Yule, etc?I know there's a mod that let you do that, but it hasn't been update in a long while so it doesn't work anymore now, but this would seem like a pretty fucking basic thing to include as part of the base game, no?You could even just use the already implemented mechanics where you throw a feast or something like that but with different flavor text and modifiers.
>>2174249uhhhh sorry chud but the only religious holiday people followed in the middle ages was Mongolian new year
>>2174249In hindsight I'm surprised Paradox didn't account for manually planning a specific date for an eventLike if you plan to hold a feast on New Years day, everyone should either arrive on the 31st (or 1st), or fuck off rather than make the thing take until June to begin so some dumb asshole across the realm can inch his way on over. Maybe show a potential guest list that greys out characters depending on the specified date in accordance to their ability to attend.Or maybe plan events well in advance without being locked up in the planning event page thing, maybe even be able to gradually allocate a budget rather than having to dump all that shit upfront, so vassals can decide whether or not they want to show up to begin with and plan accordingly so they aren't guaranteed to be fucked just because of being 6 months away, barring surprise cancellations due to death or rebellion or war or disease or whatever. Maybe the budget shit china is getting will be malleable enough to be moddable for such things but oh god the performance.

>>2174545You can play multplayer too?
>>2174552Yeah go to cs rin and get the dlc unlocker type shit
>>2174497I don't want to have anything to do with dirty mudslimes, lol.I want something that let's you celebrate Easter for example, or even something like taking the Eucharist. It really just feels like they completely forgot to add any unique flavor to each of the different religions.
>>2174617Well I quite like starting from yemen to reform a zunist notpersia but to each their own. The heraldry on west houses leaves a lot more plausible designs, I'll give you that. And yeah a piety focused feast would be neat outside of a random event we now get that pops maybe once every three rulers but only as long as you're not forced to spend 5 months preparing for it each and every year.
>>2174617Imagine that, even a single mention of Christianity in a game set in the middle ages beyond the most basic "I was contemplating skipping the celebration of [ROOT.GetFaith.HighGodName] when my sister-wife started flatulating the wars of stars theme song". What nonsense. No, every ruler should be an epic atheist a la Game of Thrones, with faith being a silly peasant superstition, among the aristocracy believed only by the occasional weirdo zealot -- though even they keep it to a minimum.
>>2174686Surely it would be easy enough to just mod in some extra events like that, no?So why didn't anyone do it yet?

>>2175617It lets you larp either globohomo al-andalus paradox loves or go full torquemada for some very nice bonuses either way. In theory it's something neat to work towards over generations like it was in history instead of finishing it with a tribal icelandic man in 6 months like one does in actual game but paradox always struggled to introduce a mechanic that doesn't suck out all the fun.Personally I'm both equally thrilled and disgusted by what they're going to do if they ever introduce the 100 year war or either religious or peasant wars in germany.

>>2175716>there's isn't really any other wayYou sure about that? Zeal, tenants, at least one hole site bonus, pillars, lifestyle, court artefacts... If you get religion blending and what was it, the one for culture conversion in provinces of your religion and the other way around. It's pretty fast.>>2175718>chanson de ladyboy intensifies
>>2175727Oh yeah, and if you really want it done ASAP you can go on zeal/piety tours and pilgrimages or straight up give a county title to some heathen and then demand they convert. The entire province goes to new faith if he accepts. Tanking their zeal if you sacrifice their clergy or win holy wars against them works well too.There's several renown traditions that help as well but those are kinda long term.
>Trying to do Your Eternal AchievementI take it back, there is something more painful to do than Iberia. Can't come up with a proper strat for it either yet.

>>2175795I've been following that one. Alexandria in particular is not a good pick due to shit income and having to deal with overwhelming coptic peasant armies.Medina on the other hand is great income and lets you replace the biggest dissolution vassal. Having to juggle the scales of power even when kidnapping your liege was still aids. Took me 5 attempts to finally get that one done.

>>2175957>>2176054
>>2176125Characters have an extremely small chance to improve marial, prowess or gain a commander trait modified by some renown house traditions or those knight legacies. Generally you won't notice it compared to marshals train commanders for example.

Anyone else sets up specific scenarios with one character up to one point then switches to another mid-game just to completely decimate everything the old one tried to build for a while and then just take everything away from them?I've done that before when starting as a Viking, just raiding and pillaging shit then conquering a bunch of land and forming a petty kingdom before switched off to one of the Christian kings in the area, seducing the settled Viking's wife then cucking him, waging war when he imprisoned his own wife so I can rescue her, caught him during battle so now HE was in prison. Had him killed while in there then married his beautiful Asatru widow while she happily let me just take over every part of the land that her children from him were now owning due to his death.In return, I never demanded her conversation. Just let her stay Asatru while owning a bunch of temple holdings and having her own duchy to rule over. She gave me many children with good traits after that, but I didn't go any further with that playthrough than this. Regardless, it was pretty interesting the way that the whole thing went down.

You can spot the bots itt by how safe-edgy they are and how afraid they are at targeting specific groups or people. The bot operators have them hand tied by HR faggotry and "AI ethics" so they aren't allowed to be too offensive so their "offensiveness" avoids targeting real posters or groups in any non-generic way.

>>2178456Yeah, I should have probably done that. Scandinavia has declared a hyper war against Russia, which it won, and now the entirety of central Asia is a tributary of theirs for some reason. They are now subjugating the rest of Europe.Unsurprisingly, I am now also a vassal of theirs. I still need a famed crown so I can abandon this cursed world.
>>2178415What's wrong with konni? They got nerfed 50 times and they still literally delete entire armies.
Does anyone playing with the agot mod? How is it compared to the older mod?
>>2178548Haven't tried it for ages but it's alright for vanilla plus. Doesn't have the autism of lotro or harem potential of warcraft ones tho.
>>2165963They should make a Stellaris like fantasy game.Basically the same as Stellaris but set on land and with more magic.
>>2178521They are still one of the strongest base game maa units, but years of dlcs added much better stuff. Pursuit becomes a meaningless value if I can just stackwipe anything with obscene amounts of damage provided by varangian veterans or any horse archer flavor.Konni are theoretically a meta counter against crossbow spam in the late game, but you won't see that outside of mp lobbies lasting that long.That said, the new expansion does add new unit types, so that could change things up a bit.
>>2178575Pretty sure they rocked damage in the low 50s high 40s before demesne buildings once upon a time. But yeah, they're good enough before hobbies or more specialized regional alternatives come online.>Pursuit becomes a meaningless valueBrother, both of those have good pursuit as well.
>join religious rebellion against suzerain because it gives the option to convert back in to paganism>rebel gets himself captured immediately>i get thrown in prison and loose all my titles
sucks to suck
i forgot how weak these rebellions are, all i thought about is that here is an option to save time on farming 6000 piety i would need otherwise
>>2178451>>2178415The fuck did you expect and why? You're playing the dedicated bookmark and one of the designated nations to be a norse bottom bitch.
>>2178741>>stop being a tribal as soon as possible through a vassalAnd this has to be some of the most retarded dogshit advice I can imagine. Honest malicious fuck you, and now I shit in your mouth kind of deal. My brother in Christ, the only thing keeping you alive and not firmly in the fish smelling sex dungeon are those prestige funded MAAs. You go feudal too early ie without a solid dev base (good luck having that in 900s poland) and you absolutely fuck yourself with no one else to blame.
I posted this in some thread a guy made to kvetch about his CK3 game but i'll just repost it herei got cuckolded by this dude and it actually worked out really well. it wasn't even my wife, it was a concubine. he got banished and she got burned at the stake. now i can build a great work.
>>2178747sounds like a skill issueyou can form an allianceyou can become a temporary subjectsome people think that if you arent the biggest blob on the map in one generation it means that you lost the game
>>2178832even the pope cannot accumulate this much wealth in ck3
Guardians of Azeroth is out
>>2178832why'd that guy's mother got banished to china?
>>2178834His dad was some sort of gigachad viking
>>2178833Sure does sound like that. I get why'd you want to feudalize to stabilize your new recently conquered and high dev land empire in byzantium or whatever but for 900s Poland? What exactly are you gaining for what you're losing? You ain't got the tech, you ain't got the income, you lose a whole bunch of knights and combat modifiers and you're still stuck on freaking partition.>>2178832Good haul. How much did you get for banishing the whore?
>>2178845she was my concubine so she had nothing. honestly i had no idea why this guy fucked her. maybe they were lovers or something, i never figured it out.wish i could have asked him if it was worth the 14.5k
>>2178849Should've sold her to the chinese for at least a bit of favor. They'd make traditional medicine from whore bezoar and water buffalo dickhair.
Pope just gave himself a claim on my entire realm
>>2178869To be fair he isn't known as "the subtle"

Influence/Merit are both just Prestige.Provisions/Herd/Treasury are all just Gold.Frankly, I'm amazed that Mandala governments just use regular ass Piety instead of some new Karma or Sanctity resource.

I'll never understand the paradox logic behind terrain bonuses for some units. Why the hell are pikes stronger in hills for example? I'd assume pike units depend on formations more than almost any other.
>>2179224uuhhh... they can like, dig their pikes into the ground, fortified the high ground on top of a hill, or down the slop of it, so when the cavalry, or just soldiers in general try to go either up or down the hill, they would fall and impale them on the pikes, or have to some trudge through them when their pulled down by gravity as they try to climb the slope.
>>2179236I just assumed they shoved it up their ass so they had the high ground
My moroccan tributary decided to marry a west african woman and gave birth to this ugly ass kid
>>2179287>historically accurate french colonists
>>2178832How did you get cucked by a guy with the ugly and homosexual trait?
>"Hmmm, today I will try to unify Africa">"Let's play as the bookmark so I can also knock out that achievement">Feel like killing myself not even 20 years in from the sheer amount of shit hole counties I need to conquer >Already know it's going to be a shit show when I eventually reach the Mediterranean and have to fight off the Byzantines or any stray conqueror that squats the Sahara >Succession will always be ass as every 6 mud huts in one place will be considered an empire>God knows how bad the constant uprisings will beHow do I do this with the least amount of pain? My current plan is trying to get a decent martial heir to speed up sieges and remaining tribal while trying to to stabilise the realm with giving out kingdoms to everyone.I'm not sure if going admin is a viable strat or not as fighting in deserts and dry lands alone is already turning supply to shit.
>>2179405Most of the pain will be boredom you will experience after you've won the game but still need the land for the achievement
>>2179192imagine how good this would feel
>>2179192they didntvikings themselves considered it barbarism from the old times
>>21794659/10 chances it was never performed in the form that every hollywood slop showsthere is ONE passage from a 13th century christian guy, 200 years after the viking age, and 400 years after the event, describing the anatomy basically dont watch "historical" movies and shows, its all lies.
im refining my strategylooking for ways to intentionally provoke a religious rebellion after converting in to an organized religion for feudalism to convert backsome countermeasures give -40 pop approval, which is exactly what i needwhat else
>>2179006After 5 crusaders and holy wars to retake Germany from the turks, the turks finally achieved to form Germany and declaring it a homeland for the turkish people, this thanks to me giving them gold and the Holy Roman civil war between the Kaiser and His Bohemian Vassal, unironically it was the pols who dominated this crusades and would have token over Germany if I didnt help the Cumans
>>2179192it's so outlandish and horrific, and it's not like christians (Catholics specifically) didn't have a habit of lying and propagandizing against their opponents to justify all sorts of barbarism.
>>2179603Don't get your fedora in a twist sunshine. Could just as easily have been an intimidation tactic or over exaggerated bullshit so they get their danegeld hassle free.
>>2179607>Could havetranslation:>its true in my head because i want it to be and that is good enough for me
>>2179610There you go. Schizos were always a thing, it's just that in 900s they had the balls to cut people apart or shove a live snake someones ass and today they just act like an obnoxious little bitch on basket weaving forums. :)
>>2179617Schizo is the one who mistakes his fantasies for reality
>>2179603>defame your enemy by making him seem fucking badass
>Africa conquest is making progress, but realm is split into two empires now on succession>"Lets just conquer it back, whatever">Other emperor immediately accepts dissolution faction demand
i love going in to distant campaigns so much
>>2179665Even got a bonus meme right afterwards.>HRE holds 2 counties in Africa>Declare holy war to get them as they are busy fighting for Bavaria>HRE, England and Demark come rushing down to Africa to defend it while losing their war in Europe
>>2179639the people of medieval Christian Europe did not think grotesque violence was "badass"that is a godless developed world phenomenon
>>2179676or, to employ the popular turn of phrase: "nigger behavior".
>>2179676People of medieval Christian Europe would join the crusades just so they would have a divine excuse when committing grotesque violence on fellow Europeans
>>2179735fellow members of a European Union you could even say
>>2179676badassadass
>>2179780you have to wonder why nobody in the order though that this is satanic

Tomorrow will be the final AuU pre-release dev diaryIt's releasing Octover 28th, next Tuesday
Wake me when the torrent is up
RIP turkic bros, you held for 50 years of europoor crusades but it ends here, thanks for giving me time to expand into Italy thou
>>2179597Just how shit do you need to be to play with cheats and devmode on?
Its a fun game, its also easy as fuck, I could have united Iberia ages ago if I Just created a hybrid culture instead of waiting 10 years to change a culture of a siingle province>>2179908Its my first time playing a full run anon, also the stress mecanism is retarded so I allow devmod>B-But you dont need to have fun!!! You need to struggle with these retarded paraslop mecanisms!!!Fuck off I just play the game for the incest
What kind of a fucked in the head braindead retard has trouble holding a feast or a hunt every few months?>game is easy lol>plays with cheats>attentionwhores constantlyOh, right. That kind of fucked in the head braindead retard. Please either kill yourself or seek help.
fuck i got engaged in a conversation about hegemonies on the forums and mow i'm going to beset by brainlets for the next month
>Making progress with my African unification run>"Alright, since there are so many kingdoms in Africa, I can easily do the grandest tour achievement">Almost always half a dozen kings busy with their own coronation or random peasant revolts>Even if I get a route which works, rulers randomly deny me the stop, despite being at 100 opinionThis is hell.
>>2179979it's wild how easy CK3 is especially when you compare it to CK2. you can really see how Paradox devs said fuck it, let's go full The Sims: Map Painting Edition and make the most shekels possible by catering to normies. and it worked, dumb normies slop it up and keep buying the DLCs.
>>2180028>Invite random courtier> +40 STRESS CHUD YOU ARE PARANOID> decide to kill some fuck> +12 STRESS CHUD YOU ARE JUST OR SOMETHING> 3 year limit between each feastFuck m8 Im allowed to have fun
>>2180061it was dumbed down primarily for console players, that's why your army only raises from one province
>>2180072>12Fuck I meant 120, you can gain stress for the most retarded reasons
>>2180072>vassal raises a faction to try and put himself on the throne>crush the rebellion and arrest him>NOOOOOOO YOU CAN'T HECKING REVOKE HIS TITLES YOU'RE CONTENT
>>2180081Don't forget not being able to give away titles because you're ambitious/greedy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WxJzptQJQQWhy do they keep bringing this tranny on to comment on the next DLC?I know xhe is some "pillar of the community" or whatever but man, I wouldn't get myself involved with these people at all if I were the one in charge of a studio.
>>2180074If there any mod that actually fixes that issue?
>>2165165Do with All Under Heaven approaching what are some good conversion mods I can play on the current version while I wait out the inevitable updates and patches?
>>2165254I was really hoping coronations would be more focused on HRE flavor but it’s ok. I’m sure that’s the next (and last) chapter. It’ll be like France, HRE, and Italy content
>>2165895That’s a really good idea for a custom character
>>2180074making a grand strategy game for consoles is part of the problem.
>>2180085>>2180081>>2180072i actually kind of like the stress system. yes it can be very annoying, but it forces you to roleplay. it's one of the very few things they got right. you can also manage stress or take the perks that provide bonuses for stress.
>>2180193the stress system is fine as a concept but the way it's implemented in the game is too silly and interacts with the rest of the game in a way that makes playing it extremely annoying>6 vassals form a faction and rebel against you>punish them all at once>die of a heart attack because you're content
>>2180210Or, alternatively>Same facts as above>be over domain limit>hand out titles>die of heart attack because you are ambitious
>>2180072Shut the fuck up and get gud you dumb bitch.
I’ve played a ton of CK2 but I’m contemplating making the jump to 3. Has the newest iteration solved the issue of every culture except Norse pagan being boring as shit to play as?
>>2180289>Has the newest iteration solved the issue of every culture except Norse pagan being boring as shit to play as?Greek and steppe cultures have joined it, Chinese culture will next update. Landless play is a thing now too
