i dont get it how is the mod better in the OP
It's kinda funny that in the 12th century start date there are literally zero actually English rulers in England and even the local nobles have French surnames. Brutal.
>>2229726Imagine that
>>2229726Today they're ruled by Germans
>>2229726Nothing funny about you posting dumb crap again.
1.18.1?
>>2230126looks like it isn't happening within the next 13 hours to me
My predictions for Chapter V:>Religion DLC focused on Christianity(Pope succession, ecumenical synods, investiture etc.)>India flavour pack(caste mechanics and a situation)>Republics and Trade; adds what you'd expect, with a new wandering merchant camp purpose hopefully
My prediction for Chapter V>estate but republic>estate but feudal>estate but theologian>influence (again)>shitty situation that ruin an entire region>decent free update (optional)
>>2230138It’d be funny if they fuck up the page length bug fixes they’ve already promisedhttps://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/preview-changelog-update-1-18-1.1868942/
>>2230173I sure hope they don't fuck it up, I wanna play
>>2230146They're going to have to extend Italy if they're going to do a republic DLC
Just found out most of the Japanese domicile buildings were broken and weren’t applying shit to the point where even though the patch lists a bunch they’re planning on fixing there’s people commenting they’re still missing other domicile buildings not really working
>>2229726Silly anon, eng*ish didn't exist as such until at least 14th century but it does follow the pisspoor naming convention some base cultures have. Cisalpine or presumably unified Italian for example.>>2230252Would be awesome but I doubt it. We're probably getting afganistani goat herding councils and maori headhunters before that.
>>2229593What movie is that from?
>>2229560CK3 is so shit
>>2229737Weird way of spelling Desis
>>2229593Better looking map projection
just now noticed "mingism" in ck3 wiki, chinese gnostics
>>2231312It's the chinese variant of manicheanism, they have the same head of faith.
>>2231312Kek
It’s odd that there’s no Chinese form of Christianity, I guess it’s true historically too. They just have to stick to Nestorianism.
update dropped
boob poop
>>2231582stinky
>>2231485Is there Chinslam?
this is possible, though it looks like you might be locked into Confederate Partition if you take itadministrative still adopts acclamation succession as it shouldI guess if you don't mind opening debug could just change succession to primogeniture to circumvent that jank
>>2231682nvm it gets lost on succession and becomes fucked
>>2231692I was vague, I meant the primogeniture gets lost after getting console'd over confederate partitiongave a guy three kids, the firstborn daughter inherited the empire and such, while the firstborn son only inherited the noble house. The realm succession was simply called "Male Preference", so definitely a fuck
Is soryo fixed?
>Inspection activity can add a mine building to a holdingWas this always a possible outcome? This is insane.
>>2231804Yes but it's 1 in 368 change
>>2231582i laughed..
I dont know anything about the new asia content and just dicked around or an hour or so in China.If you start as a landless family head, is your gameplay just grinding these exams until your rating is high enough became the regent of the emperor or whatever? I'm probably missing something but is inheritance and war not a thing? Since counties and duchies and such are all granted by this merit shit. Can you even expand your domain via inheritance or warfare (and give those gains to your children when you die)?
>>2232061Also after checing Japan fo 10 minutes the situation there is even more confusing to me, there the idea seems to be "just uuuuh build a big family block and hope for the best or something"
>Nips can adopt any character they wantI kneel to japanese superiority
>>2232103I wonder which one is scarier to that kid, my dungeon or his liege lord.
>>2232061>is your gameplay just grinding these examsYes. They took administrative and made it more tedious. Japan has two "new" govts; one is gayer admin and the other feudal with some more hoops to jump thru. My suggestion is either play south, south east or jurchen.
>>2232103sorry, didn't mean to reply to you here >>2232106
>>2232110but I got awarded a title and then I have to resign to keep grinding? just seems very counterintuitive, like is there no gradual builup of your demense? you stay landless until you have enough merit to jump right to the top?? and yeah I have seen that being governor gives you more opportunities to gaon merit so I suppose the idea is to jump in and out of governance or something? very weird.
>>2232126It's administrative realm. So, titles are appointed rather than inherited. Same deal as byzantines got a while back but smaller districts and with some added tedium like exams and treasury mechanics. To each their own but I really don't enjoy admin govts if you haven't noticed.
>>2232141I have never once played in byzantium so I guess I'm extra confused
>>2231610No but reading the Wikipedia article on Islam in China, got this >Pu Shougeng, a Muslim foreign trader, stands out in his work to help the Yuan conquer Southern China, the last outpost of Song power. In 1276, Song loyalists launched a resistance to Mongol efforts to take over Fuzhou. The Yuanshih (Yuan dynasty official history) records that Pu Shougeng "abandoned the Song cause and rejected the emperor...by the end of the year, Quanzhou submitted to the Mongols."In abandoning the Song cause, Pu Shougeng mobilized troops from the community of foreign (Muslim) residents, who massacred the Song emperor's relatives and Song loyalists.China had their own gates of Toledo moment but with Muslims instead of Jews lol
>>2232106why is she making the bitcoin lazer eyesis she bullish on crypto?
>>2232146You really haven't missed much imho. Well, some nice larp events for triumphs but those are see them once and there's no reason to play to see them again kind of deal. Especially since you lose a ton of potential theme armies when you finally unify rome but that's another story. As for admin itself there's simply a lot of frontloaded windowdressing and lots of buttons, as paradox does, but just play a bit and you'll get which mechanics are useful and which you can safely and completely ignore. And don't fuck around with eunuchs. They used to be fantastic but now they appear to be hardwired to fuck your shit up and force you to engage with power scales which is another "fun" and thankfully safely ignorable mechanic paradox came up with.
>>2232164She went all in and lost it all.
>>2232204All she has now is a small earldom all for herself.
>>2232210she likes you a lot for a guy who just deposed her.
>>2232219I guess it's because I'm just so charismatic? Or maybe it's just all the dread I am producing, here's her stat sheet, posting mine in a sec.
okay so playing as a small family in china is fucking boring if I understand this merit shit correctlyand whats up with these movements?
>>2232226Here's me for comparison.
>>2232233can you hover over her opinion and post the breakdown
>>2232233pretty decent stats nigga
>>2232271Sure.Between that image and this one following things happened.>game crashed and I had to conquer her again>her opinion after the war was same>she volunteers to become my tributary>opinion lowers because of this I guess
>japanese can still double-dip into both polygamy and concubinageneat, shame about the UI though
>>2232226Well hello beautiful
Guys, some nudists just walked through my door.How do I respond without sounding mad?
>>2232484The top option. They are bringing you free money.
>>2232498But they are holding their coins in their butt cracks...
>>2232509mmm stinky
>>2232484that guy has a really nice body, i wish i looked like that.
desu icbf to put in a bug report for flipping to Ritsuryou as admin govt choice locking the player into confederate partition, I hope enough weebs are spamming the Japanese outside Japan to notice it cause fuck knows when Paradox will fix that one
>>2232226Her husband just died of a heart attack, but she just keeps on going.
>>2232339https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2519175282
Are there good reasons to go for Ritsuryo over administrative? It just seems all around worse
I want to play as a female ruler in China but that seems impossible? Like, you cant advance to the point where you could change the law so even if you start as a woman you'll be stuck with men sooner or later.
>>2232826it lets you set realm policies like what Japan hasthough atm you can't change succession if you adopt it entirely independent of Japan, and to my current understanding that means you'd be locked in confederate partition
>>2232835conquer China as a woman
>>2229560>i made finland biggerI'll pass thanks
Do you ever feel like your vassals aren't giving you enough levies?
I'm sorry. He had 13000 troops. Sometimes, the best way to defeat a powerful foe is from within.
Did you know that Korea is an empire title?Also, these Asian nations seem a lot more powerful than European nations. Their levy counts are consistently larger than France and England.
>>2233651Levies are completely irrelevant. West europe, spain and anything with access to norse heritage especially, india and the middle east still have the edge because of local innovations and several very useful artifacts, unique buildings and holy site bonuses but I assume that will shift once east stops being barren with unique content. But it's not like war is that important in this game to begin with.
glad to see paradox broke the restore the ceremonial monarch faction this update by having it calculate the ceremonial monarch as some random vassal even though it was working fine last update
Is the RICE 1.18 pre-release still compatible with 1.18.1?
Hate that so many religions have flavourless High Priest and High Shaman as their head of faith title.
>>2233882Just wait a few more weeks Chapter 5 can't start until next year anyways
>>2232681She has now outlived my own character and is now a vassal to the english.Even though she is infirm and melancholic leper giant of advanced age, she still refuses to die.
No-one cares. The game generates anomalous characters all the time, epic!°Take this shit to reddit.
>>2234163No.Also she's 80 now and still going strong.
just got a 4.7mb patch that wasn't marked as workshop, dunno what for since I can't see any patch notes in their forums
Anyone know what the bushido tradition means when it says it makes traits just just better? Is it just more opinion boost
>>2234479The launcher is saying the last save is from a previous version so they did add 1.18.1.1 this morning without saying what it was
this is a straight man btw
Let us say you are playing as a Feudal lord that can only hold castles. Is it ever worth upgrading your bishoprics and cities?
>>2235084might be valuable to ensure bishoprics have scriptorium or whatever boosts legend spread

Can't decide on a new run and don't want to learn the new asia mechanics. Do I do a Basque pagan Old Vasconia run or a Hindustani empire run?>>2234145Probably the most ridiculous ai character I've seen in a while. Watching the ai actually accomplish shit or have ridiculously long lived characters always puts a smile on my face in my games and I'm still chasing the recent high of panning over to France and seeing Charles the Bald reform the HRE>>2235084If you're making a ton of gold and have nothing else to spend it on sure.
>>2235221NTA but seems like a map projection mod.
I haven't played CK3 in like 3 years. Booted it up, made a custom hellenic, macedonian ruler in Afghanistan. Realized there isn't any easy courtier spawning like CK2 and what there is cost a ton of money. Had 0 tech and got shit on by hindu religous wars even though I had the same size army. Anyone have a good idea how to do this without blobbing from the west?
>>2235789Dead cultures are completely screwed because they start off with little tech, the only way to make them playable is to hybridize with another culture. You can hand out counties to new nobles of your culture and they will automatically spawn courtiers inside their courts. Also zunism exists already so idk why you want to start with hellenism.
I wish they gave Shinto permanent calm and patient virtues instead of the shitty ass ones it has right now
This took much longer than I want to admit.Finally! Ireland is both united and strong. We are no England but we can stand on our own two feet.Now, we must build up our island and ensure that every patch of grass is home to stone.
I apparently will hit 12 years of playing Crusader Kings in a few weeks, and I can't really say I enjoyed any of it

Is the More Bookmarks+ mod the closest thing we’ve got to a HIP/CK2Plus-like overhaul now that Asia is in vanilla?
>>2236047You need to be at least 18 to post here
>>2236047I think I started dabbling with the original CK about 2010 myself back in high schoolthink I pirated it and EU2 at the same time few hours before a very early morning trip
>character got the random incapable trait at 30 years old>now he's 50 years old and still no sign of dyingVery cool paradox, I'm basically locked from the game with no way outI can't even appoint educators to my children so now they're all dumb fucks
>>2237161>completely avoidable situation>the universe is sooooo unfairOK zoomie.
>>2237161Can't you suicide?
>>2237161Can't you suicide irl?*
>>2229560Any idea what is causing this issue? It stops if I have no mods, but after troubleshooting I can't figure out what is really causing it.
>>2237507>It stops if I have no mods
>>2237553>>2237507Figured out it is more interactive vassals. Has anyone else figured it out? It is like the best mod for the game, absolutely required.
>>2237583It’s shocking how the devs have been sitting on their ass doing a bunch of fucking nonsense no one asked for when there’s a fuck ton of borderline required mods they could copy and add as easy DLC.
>>2237583>more interactive vassalsWasn't aware it was a thing until now. And must say it looks like a real good addition to the game.
Are there any mods that make this game not completely trivial

Hello! I have less than 20 hours in Crusader Kings 3 but I am enjoying it quite a bit.Do you guys have any tips for Men at Arms?
>>2238033pretty banger mod IMHOjust tends to be behind on patches so you need to rollback to play it more often than notthere's also a bunch of retarded nerd beef surrounding it but you can ignore/hide the bulk of that on both ends.
>>2238033more interesting than the base game desu
>>2229593source?
>>2238106I heard the devs were kinda dicks which put me off from playing it for a long time.
>>2238033I keep getting filtered by the aldmeri steamrolling everyone and not being able to stop it but other than that, yeah
Whats the best way to breed certain traits into my family? I wanna play as a Japanese house and want to get everyone in my family to be Intelligent, Strong, Herculean, Albino, Giants in as short of a time as possible because I think it would be funny if there was a family of Samurai in history who were all pale as snow and seven feet tall and bench pressed horses.I basically have to just try and marry people with the same traits, over and over again, while grabbing only the first two of the Blood dynasty legacy(so I dont lose the albino and giant traits), yeah?
>Still playing CK3 when EUV existThe pops and dialects systems alone make this entire game obsolete by comparison. Join us in 1337.
>>2238905It will be difficult to retain the albino and giant traits because the blood legacy traits only give bonuses to positive traits. You could just use the ruler designer to give your starting character max height, pale skin, red eyes, white hair, and then incest to maintain those traits in your family. You will most likely have to use incest to maintain the traits either way though.
>start in 867 outside europe>50 years pass>pan over to europe and see the bordergore>immediately want to restart for better HRE rnganyone else do this?
>>2238929I wish there was a 1337 ck3 start date
>>2238934>albino and giant traits because the blood legacyBlood four lets you pick one of those and when you do it negates blood three for that trait while giving you additional +5% for each parent (doubled if their your direct offspring) for like 60% if one parent has it and almost 90% if both do.
>>2238934Damn, incest it is then. I'll have to careful cultivate a family tree to make sure I have as many branches with as many of the traits as possible.I wanted to start with a landed pre existing character but maybe a custom adventurer might be fun. I'm sure I could snag a title.>>2238964Damn, I forgot all about that tier of the legacy. I guess I'll just have to decide which one I want more: gigantism or albinism. The Dread is probably more useful since i can get that combat prowess from Giant elsewhere.
>>2239014If you're not opposed to cheating you can mod that perk to select both, but yeah, it's one or the other while the other will get fucked by blood 3. I'd still go for nordic or iberian coterie first but that might be tricky in japan.
>>2237591Making the game mechanics actually more Deep and fun?Nah, fart jokes events and adding trillions of chingchong cultures that all look the same and nobody aside chingchongs would play are their priorities
>>2239053>>adding trillions of chingchong cultures that all look the same and nobody aside chingchongs would play are their priorities>implying that doesn't apply to western feudal characters as wellThere is virtually no difference in playing as english, iberian, Italian, HRE, Hungarian, greel or russian character. It all plays and looks the same. WHERE IS MY REGIONALFLAVOUR PDX? HUUUUUH!
>>2239059>There is virtually no difference in playing as english, iberian, Italian, HRE, Hungarian, greel or russian character. It all plays and looks the same. WHERE IS MY REGIONALFLAVOUR PDX? HUUUUUH!lol, lmao even, try playing in india, europe at least has something
>>2239069>>try playing in india, europe at least has somethinglol, they have the same amount of flavour. Only if you like eating slop you would be satisfied with what Europe has right now. But then again, unlike you, I am actually interested in history.
do you guys know what sound samples Caesar 3 used? I know its a far shot, considering that the game is like 30 years old but i'm kinda curious
I don't play as anyone non European, and never outside the borders of the Roman empireLiterally who cares about that other slop

Are there no mods that makes Haesteinn more random for the AI? He always just invades Mercia and maybe WalesWish there'd be more randomness and sometimes he goes south or invades Brittany or whatever
>>2239876>muh Haesteinn Reddit is that way
>>2239887I don't like how much of a meme he is but he has 4k army at start with unbeatable martial so he's clearly supposed to be impactful but the AI always does the same thing every game
>>2239899Also the way his AI operates and how strong his military is he just ends up cockblocking the great heathen army from forming the Danelaw
>>2239887cpu's choice in invasion targets aside he's fine, no need to let a bunch of cookie-cutter youtube videos apeing the same thumbnail setup ruin something for yourself
>>2238929EUV obsoletes most of the Paradox catalog except CK2/3 which has its character driven sandbox for now.
So is Chinklandia DLC worth it or not? I'm redownloading now after almost a year, anything good I have access to without buying the DLC outright? They fuck the game up at all with patches since February? Any good major mods got updated or released? Gimmie the quick rundown bros.
Best CK3 soundtrack? For me, it's Tours and Tournaments'.

His harem includes, but is not limited to every head of every major religion left in the world. Castrated of course.

anyone happen to know offhand how invading China during division pans out for someone whose capital is in Tibet, specifically in relation to when a new Emperor besides the player is propped up?I'm scared of suddenly finding a bunch of time invalidated by being made a vassal of China the instant some guy gets declared Emperor. Happened to me in a Dali game within the past week, but Dali at least I guess is technically part of the Hegemony of China however bullshit that was getting auto-vassalized in the middle of trying to yoink Cheng Du
I want to restore the Roman Empire as the Byzantines in CK3 in the earliest start date.Any tips? I was thinking of giving up Syracuse to the Moslems, and then focusing hard on nation and dynasty building, as in making buildings that give money and development and hosting special events.Hopefully in a few generations, most of the empire will be rolling in money and manpower and I can go take Bulgaria and do the same to that territory, and then spend the rest of the game biting chunks out of the Arabian empire and the HRE.
>>2249828I didn't think you could get auto-vassalised like that. When I reformed it, the decision just activated the hegemony mechanics. There were still some pockets of China that definitely didn't become vassals that I had to conquer afterwards.
>>2249994wish I had the foresight to keep the save, I don't think it was modded and I'd like to test out what caused it exactly without clicking through events for potentially hoursIf I had to guess, being in the middle of a "consolidate china(? forgot name)" cb might have done it, especially considering once China broke some guy with a spiral snakehemia looking ass realm already had the land/tributaries necessary to immediately reform the Empire. I don't know why I didn't test at the time what happened if I booted in debug and just auto-won the territory I wanted and let him reform China after the fact, both as Nanzhao and as whatever the fuck the southwestern empire is called.felt like massive bullshit considering Nanzhao/Dali, regardless.
>>2249977Dealing with the East is usually rather trivial as the Abbasids collapse after a while on top of having to deal with pretender wars constantly.The most time consuming part is Italy, as you have to fabricate claims to conquer there. Every other piece of land you need can be won via holy wars.Even with some bad luck you can easily reform the Roman empire within a 100 years.

How do I stop inheriting a bunch of titles from my vassals? They're dropping like flies and I get at least one a month
>first ever playthrough of ck3, no strategy game experience, with a little help from a friend to show me the ropes/mechanics>inherit the hreI really feel like I'm not ready for this
I like that when you take bushido characters dislike babies for being pathetic weaklings with low prowess
>>2251690I hope that doesn't increase the odds of murder schemes
What should I even be spending my money on? I've got 22k gold and 23k treasury and I've got my manor, men at arms, and buildings maxes out
>>2251800Firstly, it is always wise to keep a war chest of about 10k in case of premature death and the necessity to fight a mega claim war.Secondly, invest in your vassals. You get a proportion of their revenue and levies.
>>2251887So I should be building things in their holdings?
>>2251891Yes! Remember that you get a higher return from your direct vassals.Order of investing:Own domainBaronsDirect VassalsIndirect Vassals
>Conquer my way into China as a nomad>Chip away at them until they enter division phase>Unite it all under your banner>Add iron cavalry tradition as you still have the way of the nomad trait>Smooth out the borders with your perfect army>Get bored because there is literally nothing else left to doIt was somewhat fun at least. I do wish I could automate some of the busy work.
>>2251800Congratulations, you won the game then. And building up vassals is a horrible idea, that shit won't remotely return on investment by the end date.
Just got the game, which of the DLCs are worth buying?
>>2248787>So you become the Hegemon of China. You are by far the most powerful entity in Crusader Kings 3.>What now?Have sex with as many 14 year olds as I ca...Oh you mean in-game? Dunno, maybe attack Japan
>>2252108Unironically just pirate the DLC, none of them are worth what they cost but the game doesn't really work without them
>>2229560oh my goodness gracious
>>2246356>for seducing women and murdering menyeah that was 100% coded by a troon
>>2248787Much like real life, it becomes a game of extending your dynasty's reign by maintaining the country's prosperity. In theory, it's a fine idea for a gameplay loop, by in practice, most players that can take the seat of hegemon have no issue keeping a stable realm, especially after becoming the most powerful ruler in the game.
>Pope used to have the most dev growth out of everyone because dev growth malus wasn't being applied to theocracies, has been fixed with the release of AUH>Now Eastern Java has the most dev growth due to Mandala dev growth mogging everything else combined with terraced hills and that special buildingWho asked for Indonesian Agartha?
>>2252617I mean, IRL Java has 156m people on it. SEA's always had a high population density. Is it really that odd?
>>2252143Looks like a regular game to me
Never really gave Diplomacy a chance but it’s pretty cool. Purchasing truces from your war targets most powerful vassals is unbelievable. Buying claims on powerful artifacts is a nice prestige dump for feudal, especially in the agot mod buying dragon eggs or Valyrian steel weapon claims. I pretty much only used the left tree too. It feels like everyone in the game wants you to rule them. Would recommend if you’ve never done it.
Any idea what causes the Hold Court event in CK3 to occur where you are able to create a city even as a tribal? Been playing a round for a while where I've expanded nilly willy and handed over territory to my horde of kids and it has not happened once. Is it just dumb RNG or somehow connected to the territory you hold yourself at the moment you hold court?
Wtf. Just how much AI did they use for the Coronations dlc? I've spotted tons of em dashes in the flavor text.
>>2254481>illiterate thinks that the proper use of dashes is a sign of AIIf we were going with the correct use of English then there would indeed be many of them in an average sentence. But the common language use doesn't do that.
Newfaggot question but how the FUCK do I convince people to marry their daughters to my sons? I understand why they're reluctant, I want their titles. But how do I overcome that reluctance? I've only had success marrying my sons to the daughters of my vassals which is nice, but I want to expand
>>2254964I'll never understand you zoomies. You're all basically born with a smartphone in your hands but doing a google search for a simple question never crosses what passes for your minds.Yeah, I know, lead and microplastics in tapwater.
>>2255004Googling a bunch of reddit and steam forums is always worse than asking 4chan
>>2254964If it's like in CK2 then they will look at your titles and prestige, BUT will refuse if you border them>>2255004go suck dick, faggot
>>2255083Struck a nerve, sister? I'll make sure to give trigger warnings next time :)
>>2254964hover their opinion (I assume something like a red -55) on the marriage and wait for it to show the modifiers. Generally it's that simple. If there's some -100~ -200 modifier you're SOL without a hook IIRC>>2255004not him but I'm over 30 and usually forget google exists for a good 5~10 minutes, bad habit really
>>2255099All I'm saying. Load of crap in there, for sure, but it's fast and it's not like you'll get amazing info here either.
>>2255108far less of a potential time-wasting headache to get a pertinent response from someone who actually plays the game I imagine compared to googling and possibly running into the equivalent of https://youtu.be/z2ZkO8CclhI (skip to 1:00~1:01)also what the FUCK has youtube done to timestamps in share links, that shit looks like https://youtu.be/z2ZkO8CclhI?si=4yyTdvm4gpn-HNMU&t=61 now
A lot of cities in China are facing the wrong direction.
>>2255220in a Feng Shui sense or in a literal sense
>>2255145Is it just me or is it also completely impossible to try and find any information about what the different tags precisely do if you are thinking of fucking around in the game files themselves for something?
>>2255222In a literal sense because of Feng Shui. It's inaccurate. They didn't even bother to make modern day Beijing face south.
>>2255231Chinese can and should be giving the Swedes hell then, surprised they'd fuck that up. Is Chang An also fucked?
>>2255227What do you mean by "tags"? Triggered modifiers or callbacks or what?
>>2255283Yeah, what does what. A while ago I decided to fuck around a bit on shit like hunt success with CK3 because I got sick and tired of the legendary hunt "success" rates, and when I looked into some of the stuff in there I tried to look for information what exactly some of the shit involved in the calculation processes do. Like "ceiling" for example, a simple = yes or = no from the looks of it but I wasn't able to find anything about what exactly it does and just figured to leave that thing alone. I think I know what it does, but I prefer when games where you can edit ingame shit just with a text editor have some up-to-date place that explains what every god damn thing the devs have come up with actually does.
>Have trouble figuring out how to claim China starting as a vassal>Look up discussions about it on the ck3 dicksword>"Yeah, I can do it in one lifetime, easy">Think to myself that this can't be right, it takes ages to do the most reliable strategy>Remember that I usually pick the 1066 start, where China is the most stable while the other start dates have China primed for collapse>Every ledditor loves the 867 start for some reasonThat's one less mystery to figure out.
>>2255593People like 867 in general because the world is less developed
>>2255621But why? Less developed just means everything takes ages. Not to mention that the AI really sucks at forming larger realms, so everything remains fractured with barely any empires in sight.
>>2255640nta but desu the only "1066" thing I'd be interested in would be Roussel de Bailleulsort of jerry-rigged him before and after adventurers were introduced but it's hollow without Alexiad shenanigans.
When did they take CK3 off of gog? I guess EU5 is never going on gog? That sucks.
>>2255739Wait, was 3 ever on gog?
>>2255383...so why not use the wiki? You need a picture guide or something?
>>2255795Does the wiki have an exhaustive list?
>>2255814Yes but it's all in braille and swahili.
>>2255640They want to develop it themselves to be ahead. They want to play tribal and build a huge empire. They want to play for as long as possible in 1 playthrough before the game ends. I can understand why people like early starts although the challenge of a more stable realm is cool too.
What is the /vst/ approved start date?
That's probably been asked a thousand times before, but any mods that make female characters actually female?Meaning they get no stuff like martial prowess, can't attend tourneys, can't beat 2m tall gigachads in melee in events, get diplomacy debuffs for being rulers, etc.This is so immersion breaking to me. I can live with faggots everywhere, but my court having more chicks with high martial skills than dudes is so dumb. Who the fuck managed to teach random 16yo peasant girl how to lead armies better than my fucking generals?!Couldn't find any such mods on steam, I imagine this stuff gets deleted by Paradox jannies, so I ask here.
>>2256025>Who the fuck managed to teach random 16yo peasant girl how to lead armies better than my fucking generals?!God.
>>2256029She didn't lead shit tho.
>>2256031Led you out of france lmao
>>2256034Not a hater, she cute.But she didn't lead shit.If you don't agree, tell me what was her rank in the army and name 1 battle where she commanded troops on her own.
>>2256025>beaten by a little girl>>gigachad
>>2256035she beat one of your ancestors in many battles for the camp's chastity, and thereby may have actually saved some men from the horrors of venereal disease
>>2256035Sure, educate yourself.https://www.jeanne-darc.info/location/
>>2256036Not my fault the devs are swedish trannies who think such a thing is normal.
>not my fault i suckok zoomie
>>2256046I imagine this would make the game much more difficult actually, and even redditors like you love to complain that it's too easy currently.Shame you have no basic ability to comprehend words and what they mean.
ok zoomie
>>2256043for the sake of your sanity, you should realize the swedes are in all likelihood excusing themselves from doing more work. This has the very unfortunate side-effect, in the case of hardcoded behavior, of fucking up the potential to mod some things without employing some real jank-ass workaround, assuming it's even possibleI think it'd make sense to weigh a culture's generated characters, and willingness of parents/guardians to assign martial education, based on that culture's stance on Martial gender. That would mitigate quite a lot of oddness, though it wouldn't stop Equal Martial cultures from Amazonmaxxing. IDK if there even is a Female Martial culture, wasn't Nubia Equal? I don't remember how martial and prowess are currently weighted in Vanilla between the sexes anymore admittedly, I've spent too much time playing EK2 and all that shit's equal martial, so I've gotten to see Equal Martial behavior on large scale. Wet nurses and pregnant women dying in battle all the time if I don't take the time every year to forbid them from being knights. Why the fuck are pregnant women and wet nurses in the thick of it? Why are my babies sucking some amazon's tit in the middle of battle? She keeps them safe I guess!Regardless, it'd mean not having to spend oodles of time dedicated explicitly to factoring in sex-based musculature for Prowess abstraction that could be better spent on some shit like the College of Cardinals, Pope fight, Venice, Genoa, trade goods, missionaries, the fucking Crusades, what the fuck does Becky matter? She's a pump and dump that can crush your head with a club or between her thighs that's never going to get to do anything but making fuck unless you enable her. Maybe she could spot her husband some Martial, if she's primary spouse, or educate his kidsActually, manage your realm's education if you want martial badasses, the AI isn't, this is why your knights SUCK, the CPU doesn't give a FUCKtl;dr you just lost the game
>Counts are playable >Landless are playable >Barons aren't playable
Is it possible?
>>2256228I really can't see what improvements CK4 could make that an update couldn't do.Maybe a more reactive map.
How's your china campaign going?
>>2255989936
>>2255593Taking over a stable China, like the Song in 1066, is easy.>merit max early and build up domicile>get an early county to ramp merit faster via tax to liege domicile benefits>get a good spymaster, plant them in the emperor's court and amass blackmail hooks>join pro-song faction and use hooks, influence, and diplomacy to keep the faction strong. also become the faction leader eventually>spend resources to lower the creep toward tension>doesn't take long to get a betrothal to a daughter or sister of the emperor>once that results in marriage, wait for emperor to die or get murdered>murder until a child or woman takes the crown>press your wife's claim for the throne and leverage your hooks and amassed influence + wealth at this point to force everyone into your faction>let them win the war for you>wait for your wife to die while assisting her reign, or murder her (after you've had a child with her, ofc) >your dynasty has usurped the throne>you can now wait until you die and play as your progeny, or spend mana to steal the emperor title from your dynasty member
>>2256584Something must have changed then because I tried that strat on release, only to be surprised about the fact that none of the Chinese emperor's daughters had a claim on his title.
>pop up blocks your view>game continues forward at full speed in the background>close pop up>enemy have raided your gold mines and capital in the meantimeGreat design gais..

>>2257325wasn't aware of that, now I feel dumb
>>2256025If you are really this much of a chud you could easily make a mod that uses the on_action "random_yearly_everyone_pulse" to reduce the prowess/martial of all women in the entire world using "add_martial_skill/add_prowess_skill"It would take me five minutes to do this, unironically.

How the fuck does a family rule so much of Europe for nearly 1000 years?Is this what peak genetics looks like?
>>2256025Here's my updated chud mod. It sets the default gender law to male only and sets the homosexuality rate to 1% and bisexuality at 1% and asexuals at 0.1% (vanilla has like a 10% rate for faggots). Also makes only men being able to be commanders. And I know that male only isn't perfectly accurate but male preference is even more inaccurate since it doesn't take into account uncles etc. https://mega.nz/file/1DVC2Bra#HDnsRi6Sac0tS79n5fUkx5nGuhkpv6uUB1F-d82hPWs

How do you get the old music back.These new soundtracks don't feel like ck.
>>2258202turn off the tracks you dislike in the music player should be in the [...] button bottom of the UI
>>2258210I misunderstood possibly, idk how you'd get CK2 music in without a modshouldn't be terribly difficult to just insert them, might already be a mod for it, but tying them up into contextual stuff might be tricky idk
>>2258211No, I meant older ck3 tracks.Gotta check out those dots.I remember having a music mod once that included ck2 music, or maybe it was for ck2 and have ck3 music, can't remember. There should be a text file where you could add paths and names of those added tracks.
Is there no way to quarter your coat of arms without being a cadet branch?
>>2258227Pretty sure there is a layout for that in the character creator.
>>2258231But then you'd have to copy everything manually and that's horrible with the designer in this gameI just want to copy paste different coa like you can with cadets
>>2258211too bad, use this modhttps://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2362033330It even has weightings (similar to CK2) so that you're not bombarded with Asian music in Britainwhy there's no weights in CK3 i'll never understand
During war, all events should be turned off, shit's so annoying to deal with when microing troops.
What ways are there to gain titles that do not involve war? Besides claimant factions and tribal dueling. I want to try a nonaggression run.

I'm noticing a lot more women in armies, women being granted titles and women being recruitable combatants from a castle holding as an adventurer. Did the dlc change something?
>>2259204if you're playing in asia there's your answerJapan in particular has some cultural tradition that allows women to serve specifically in defensive wars
>>2259211Why lmaoThey were even more patriarchal than the westAnd no, onna bushi are just a meme some feudal japanese warlord invented because fetish fantasies
>>2259364You clearly dont know anything about Japan. Their relationship with genders is way more complex than being male or female-dominated.
>>2259379Only a retarded tranny would think in dumb shit like that
>>2259364idk anything about that shit, just look at martial customs of culturesplaces like Tibet allow male and female commanders in vanilla

>>2259600Yeah, no problem.I don't own a single one.
>>2259431Because I derive sexual gratification from attending the merit exam activity and experiencing the same five events on a loop. Every click of an event option that I knew in advance I would choose sends a shudder of ecstasy through me. YES I will let the other character join the tea party. YES I will expose the cheaters. YES I will mix the ink the traditional way. I pity the fact that your meagre mind cannot process the sublime rapture that is playing in Asia and experiencing all of the event on offer. If there's anything to criticise Paradox for in this expansion, it's that they've truly cast pearls before swine.

>>2259856Trannies, all of them I tell you.Or just attention whores.If a female streamer "plays" a game it means nothing. They play what's popular and what their male audience wants to see.Want to become a popular femoid streamer? Stream something that femoids don't usually play. Like GSGs, or fucking Escape From Tarkov.
>>2259858Want to become a popular femoid streamer? Show tits. That's literally it.

I need advice on how to fight nomads - started my chilly silly playthrough as an anon in Hungary, and by 1096 I own basically all of it.However HALF THE FUCKING MAP to the east is owned by cumans, and they come at my ass with 20000+ stack of super elite horse niggers and meanwhile I have like 5000 troops overall (around only 50% of them are maa). I can stomp any neighbor with that force but I can't do shite against fucking mongoloid zergs.Last time I was enjoying ck3 these niggers weren't nearly as oppressive, did PDX fucked up something again?inb "you bad" yes I'm bad that's why I ask for help
>>2260339I'm more bothered that he didn't catch the "do not repost anywhere" stampit is VERBOTEN even if it's a fitting reaction image
>>2260380Crossbowmen. A lot of them. They counter whatever nomads can throw at you and scale exceptionally well.Since their numbers are larger you can also easily bait them into fighting you on a mountain tile, further pushing the advantage to your side.

New to the game, realized I had random empire territory out in the middle of nowhere. Is there anything interesting I can do with this or just leave it be?
>>2260628bro who are you
>>2260628you could use character search and tic "within diplomatic range" and maybe be able to invite a decent courtier or two with some bribing, or marry/matri-marry one into your court. I'm not sure how accepting Steppe rulers are of marriage across faiths in ck3 desu, I've stuck to Total Conversions for a while.
>>2260629If I had to guess, the HRE.>>2260628Getting yourself into the Steppe situation could be interesting if you can become the Greatest of Khans from Germany/Bohemia/Poland whoever you are.
Which overhauls do you use anons? Dark ages? I want something that enhances the main game and doesn't take me to Lord of the Rings as well
>>2259559The whitest cultures are in the Central Germanic, West Germanic and Frankish groups (the beating heart of Europe) but you’re not ready for that truth. Reddit has always loved Vikings. The Scandinavians aren’t crowned in glory like The Big Three.
>>2260674interracial takeover
>>2260709The Norse are literally Hyperboreans though.
>>2260854Hyperbore isn’t real, but the Greeks placed Hyperborea everywhere form England to Romania to Siberia. Hyperborea was an island and it had a circular sun temple to Apollo (Stonehenge). Hyperborea as Scandinavian is mostly modern. Saying Scandinavia is Hyperborea because some Swede says so is like saying the English are descended from Wotan and Ingo because they said so.
>>2260868Hyperborea means "supernorth", and the Norse were as north as it gets while still being white.
>>2260878nta but pretty sure you're arguing with a coping gyppo
They wanted Hegemonies to be the civilisations that played a big role in influencing all around them and that ultimately had a global legacy, that’s why alongside China they have the Roman Empire and the Islamic World. I wonder, do you think India falls into this category to the same extent? I’m being sincere, I’m a westerner so I would look to Iran/Perisa and its influence on the Irannic world and steppe ahead of India but maybe there’s a reason I don’t know why India would be on par with Rome and China and above Persia, and all other European Empiree.

>>2261581Go for India instead and make Hindustan
>>2261581>that much prestige>that much provision limit>only 885You could declare for a kingdom or a fucking empire I think after padding your army up some, but if you want Fars it's right there
>>2261603Provisions aren't a big deal, it's just the buildings and traits i pickedAnd fame, well my character did some really neat translations here and there
>>2261603Neither is unreasonable for an adventurer>>2261623You do you but I'd either go into Caucasus and recreate greater Armenia or east and larp as zunist Bactria. Convenient local traditions, special buildings and holy sites as well.
>>2261585Nta but I think I'm gonna do something like that as a mega campaign setup.
TIL that as a landless noble in China, you can coax the Minister of Personnel to put you first in line for a specific duchy or kingdom title.
>>2261319One of the main religions of the hegemony of china, and east Asia as a whole. Where did it originate?
>>2261319India was almost never unified by native Indians (pretty much just the Mauryans and Guptas), and for the last 1000 years until 1947 it spent being dominated by foreign invaders (the first 800 years were by Turkic Muslims, then by the British)
>>2261319I don't buy that "hegemonies" are meaningfully distinct from empiresthe concept of "de jure" empires is foolish anyway
>>2261319not really, almost all major Indian empires were foreign invaders
India is the most boring region in the game and the new dlc just made that more obvious.
>>2262277Was it really 800 years? I thought the Mughals lasted way less than that.
>>2242687The one with the jewish director Not that useful of a tip kek
>>2262452The Mughals weren't the first Islamic invaders, in fact their first conquest was against the already established (and on the decline) Sultanate of Delhi. Muslims already controlled northern India for 500 years by that point (the Ghaznavid and then Ghurid conquests were around the years 1000-1200)
>>2262496Oh, interesting. For some reason I always thought the Sultanate of Delhi was of islamized indian origins but thinking about it now, it's pretty obvious that an islamic sultan called Muhammad Ghori isn't going to be an indian.
At their height they also controlled almost all of India.

what's the point of legends? you pay lots of money just to get some pointless piety?
>>2262885They can give you unique buildings, renown, dev growth, allow you to mass convert your realm to your religion, and instantly dejure drift kingdoms into your empire.
>>2262885read what their upgrades give, it's situationally beneficial as fuck. I forget if it's just one or more, but at least one of the piety legends at max tier refreshes the availability of a Kingdom-tier Holy War. The legends can have little modifiers for provinces with the legend associated with them which should show up in the Legends UI of the legend with little icons, they can be nice though idk how the fuck you control which effects get rolled.
>>2262249Buddhism? It comes from Nepal and the Buddha was a Saka blue eyed nomadic warrior. A separate civilisation from India, at any rate.
>>2262917>upgradesGuess I need to look into that closer. I've only seen those 3 modifiers it shows when you open the legends tab and see available ones.
I hate that you can't stack multiple legends. It makes the entire system feel like pointless busywork. Oh you got your realm to support a legend with good county boni? Oh well half of the benefits are tied to your character which dies, so you better start a new one! Which will replace your old one, because it's impossible for a region to have more than one legend, that's realistic.Like, I understand that infinitely stacking legend modifiers on provinces would probably be broken, but there has to be a middle ground. With the current system, I spread a legend with decent modifiers once and then I don't give a shit anymore after it's finished.
>>2261319I think it's a fine enough "what if" thing. Like that other anon said, India never really unified itself and if they put more flavor into it I think it would've really cool to have this massive what if land empire right next to China.>>2262319I think hegemons are fine from a gameplay perspective. If you've ever done a Rome run you know that any empire above like 6 kingdoms becomes an absolute bitch to manage even with drift
Is it a bad idea to hand out all empire titles as China?
>>2262319>the concept of "de jure" empires is foolish anywayHegemonies bypass the de jure map system. They literally gave you what you wanted.
this thread made me check the wiki to see wtf a hegemon is in ck3 since I have never seen the thing in the gamewhat a waste of a "feature"
>>2263831It’s just a higher title than Emperor. To be honest, I’m pretty sure the only reason the actually added it is for mods like AGOT and Elder Kings who will make use of it for Westeros and Tamriel
>>2264012NTA but completely worthless in that as well. Kingdoms worked fine.
>>2264046it's because china's too large for what the "empires" are scoped as, since there's already a limit on title sizes since the game is hardcoded to a de jure hierarchy instead of a more freeform "character X owes Y to Z because ABC" (which, to be fair, their AI wouldn't be able to handle)
>>2264258Even the actual chinese don't agree with what you're saying.
One of my two complaints about Hegemony would be calling vassal Emperors as Emperors and desu I haven't checked if that'd even the casethe other one is the Muslim Hegemony having outright bonuses, feels like a spit in the face for all the spiteful difficulty spikes Rome can get.
>>2264308My complaint over it is A: it encourages map painting in their only game where you have something to do that's not map painting.And B: it's not remotely necessary. There are around 160-170 kingdom titles in the entire world. Including those tiny ass kingdoms of three duchies with two-three counties each. Your lowest base vassal limit as an empire is around a 100. And then you have all the nonsense you can stack on top of that like HRE having +20, reichkrone +25, culture and renown another +40 I believe, randomized artefacts that can have as many as +20 each. And then there's traits like conqueror or greatest of khans that give +50 and +70 each, which you can definitely go for if you want to cover absolutely every piece of clay. Stack all that and lost I probably forgot about and you'll end up with 280-300+ which is not unreasonable if you're going for that.It's just crappy buyfagbait to buy a barren dlc imho.
>>2263394No. Just make sure you keep them in line so they don't rebel and you'll be more than fine
>>2264268The "empires" and "kingdoms" are mechanical terms for "rank 4 and 5" realms, with hegemons being rank 6Because any one of those Three Kingdoms massively peak over every single other kingdom in Eurasia--how many baronies are within those realms in comparison to, say, Scotland or Egypt?
>>2264478Count is 1, duke 2, king 3, emp 4. Barons are not playable or ever independant so not a realm. Game already has de jure drift, already has no penalty for holding more than one king or empire title. Game already allows for tributaries of equal rank. Province count, density or lack of density is completely arbitrary and set by paradox, example saharan africa or some miniscule kingdoms and duchies in balkans. I can't for the life of me think of a single positive mechanic or single example it makes sense from history where hegemon titles bring anything to the game.
>Having a really fun game as a roaming mercenary>Someone offers me a Duchy to fight in their war>Turns out it was a city and they vote me to be EmperorHow do I maintain my position with no influence?
>>2264556>Barons are not playable or ever independantYou sure?In CK2 barons can actually become independent under certain conditions
>>2264789Not a thing in 2 either I'm afraid. Unless you mean merchant republic houses but that's a separate mechanic added later. They CAN inherit or win a war that results them advancing to count+ tier but they absolutely can't form a realm as such while having baron primary title.
>>2229593>That scene where she gets him to join her in the bathtub and then convinces him to take off his shorts, allowing her for a few seconds to jerk him offYeah, literal buckets to this fucking showAnyone have that one movie thats in Spanish where the kid kisses his dad's new wife and feels her up?
>>2264556China has 380 dejure counties while the largest empires are the byzantine(188 counties) and holy roman empires(175 counties). If china was just one empire it would be twice as large as any other empire, having the Chinese emperor hold 5 empires titles would feel janky and lead to even more splitting on succession and independence factions.
>>2264802>Not a thing in 2 either I'm afraidThey aren't playable but independent baronies and exclave baronies are very much a thing that can happen in 2, and if you don't know about the "forment rebellion" councillor action you would have to check every single county in your realm to find these independent bastards cucking you out of decisions and achievements
>>2264832
>>2264838I firmly believe they should have at least fifteen times that counties down to simulating each individual grain of rice or fish head. Consider this; paradox bloats province count artificially creating a problem and then creates a solution to their forced problem and advertise it as a feature. Help me out here, who the in the actual fuck cares for a gorillion +1 provinces in western china or rural tibet and what does that bring to the game?As for the original vassal limit thing - it's not like you're going to directly hold each and every bloody county in your demesne. And even if you're a madlad, and you do - no vassal strategy is still quite viable. >even more splitting on succession and independence factions.I personally enjoy the drama, and no, I doubt it would have any significant gameplay changes if those "empires" were kingdom level instead since they're not a tribal on partition. A hegemon tier still faces claimant and such wars.>>2264840>They aren't playableAll I'm saying. Have never seen a baron tier realm, independant or otherwise in 3 tho. Love to see one if it's even possible and if you got one to share.
>>2264802>Not a thing in 2 either I'm afraid.I have seen it happen.I've seen like 3 or 4 baron vassals of the HRE scattered around Iberia go independent simultaneously after the HRE lost some war to France. In a different playthrough I've seen an independent muslim baron holding only a temple in Egypt several decades after it had been successfully crusaded.I think it's because of titles being destroyed or some inheritance fuckery.
Didn't Paradox promise to deliver another content patch before this month ends? Where is it?
>>2264916they'd have to drop it tomorrow or Friday
How is there still not a 3d model anime style character mod? People can make werewolves in PoD but not anime models?
>>2264868China has the same county density as Europe, slightly bigger counties in fact, it's just a really large realm. This is all a moot point though hegemonies are actually in vanilla, they aren't a DLC locked feature. China is still playable as a feudal realm, you can restore the Roman Empire (gives a hegemony title) or use mods with custom hegemonies just fine without the DLC.
I don't know what I want from this game..>Being an overpowered King or Emperor is boring.>Being a sitting duck in a tall duchy with tons of gold is boring>Being a weak cuck push over that is about to become homeless is annoying>Want to go to silkroad but don't want to be in Asia>Want a cozy family safe space, but it's boring if you don't go to wars>Want to become a tribal warlord with high stewardship and learning but it's impossible.It's also bullshit that you require 3 holy sites to reform make your own religion.And if you make offshoot, crusade will come after you with 50000+ strong army......
>>2265060barbershop makes regular character mods a pain in the ass already
>>2265173>>Want to become a tribal warlord with high stewardship and learning but it's impossible.Quite possible, just, no reason to. But I get what you're saying. It's the one of the main complaints about the game since launch after all. You either conquer lots and the more you have the less you care about anything or you stay put, boom your development to moon and your single duchy like east francia or mercia has higher "GDP" than the rest of the world combined.

Why is the marriage age 16? historically there were kings who got married at younger ages.
>>2268345Yes and these marriages are shown in-game. The Holy Roman Emperor (14 yo) is married to a Hungarian princess in the 1066 start.The reason why is because it's weird as fuck to have in game, so they only do it when they have to.
>>2268345>just read through all the historical examples, stories of emperors and kings>get really confused about the guy who went to become a professional boxer until I realized its from the 2000s
>>2268714Wasn't he a pope as well?

How would one go about creating a dynasty of femboys? Is there a mod that lets me play with genetics on that level?
>>2268748Thailand are in the latest DLC, no mods required
>>2268345According to canon law age of marriage was 14 for boys and 12 for girls.Interestingly, CK3 has been defined for modding different ages for sexes, and another modifier for modding when they can reproduce.So, they could make it so that men can marry at 14, girl at 12, and they can only have children after turning 16.I wonder why they didn't do it. Surely they are legally safe because there is no graphic?
>>2269312I mean betrothal exists in game, so it seems like a non-issue really that the "marriage" only happens when characters come of age.The real question is why do characters become adults at 16, but can only be nude at 18?Its pretty much the same answer
>>2269319Bethrodal is a joke, they should transform to proper marriages much earlier.
Are grand campaigns just broken? It could have been my mistake in not paying attention to who I asked to do a secondary objective turned out to be a family head with no land and no army. He never declared war. I tried giving him an appointment and money to get MAA and no dice. His target as well was spread across 3 different owners so that might have confused the game.It switched to expansion soon after anyway so I want to see if conquering the land myself manually will fix the project.
