Have they finally implemented rape mechanics and flavor?
>>2510137Ban the AI from making new rites with the vanilla game rule and download this mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3817326191
>1200's>gunpowderNice.>>2510296>https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3817326191Are you shilling your own mod? If so, good job.
ain't she just a thing of beauty?
>>2510311Those borders seem quite lacking.
>>2510312they wont be for long since i'm almost done building my super tall italian heartland.
>>2510313What fucking mod are you playing where +7.5K gold a month isn't more money than you could ever spend?
Sometimes the AI does some wicked shit!
>>2510316This happened for me a few times before the great schism. It all sorted itself out after though.
What are the best tenets and doctrines for a min max religion to compliment playing tall? Sky burials seems really good because it gives you Charnel Grounds which seems to be the best duchy building in the game, at least for your primary duchy. Esoterisism seems decent, it's the one I always go for. And Communal Posessions also seems good for playing tall.
>>2510319>tallThere is no tall in this game. Tech is time gated and the only important thing is rushing for more MAA regiments and units to stack wipe even larger armies.
>>2510319Theodosian Walls is the best duchy building but that's hardly fair.80 plague resistance is the magic number, any higher than that does nothing. Isolate Capital + Charnel Grounds + Hospice is enough to reach it.Some of BGA's new Christian tenets are fairly OP.Simony gives alot of money and stewardship. Get Scholasticism until you get both unique innovations from the Court Scholar then dump it. Or don't, the free stats and innovation progress are also very nice.Love Thy Neighbor gives alot of flat and percent development growth but you need 60+ popular opinion which is difficult to get. Once you do though, it is very nice.To Work Is to Pray is a 20% development growth. The main feature is the -20% building construction time, which in combination with a Royal Architect is -50%. It should be easy to get to -80% with further bonuses.Communal Possession's decision is bad, -30% control in all counties in exchange for 25% development growth is not a good trade.Esoterisism doesn't give you much, it gives a bit more learning experience and an easier way to get a trait for +5 learning. You can do better.For doctrines, Theocratic Clerical Tradition and Spiritual HoF are strictly better with Ecclesiastical. Divorce Approval and Sacraments Central so your HoF will have more money to shake down. Monasticism Absent or Forbidden, monastic orders do not pay up their income, so it's hard to extort them. Clerical Function Control unless you're going for Love Thy Neighbor or have popular opinion problems in which case Alms and Pacification.What >>2510355 said is correct though. You only need enough of an edge to outscale the AI in MAAs, any gold beyond that is gratuitous.
>>2510314He just a troon cheater. Why anyone would want to cheat in such a piss easy game is beyond me.
Finally, the ultimate schizo mod is being made: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UyHW6gJVss

>>2510395missing the world of warcraft mod
>>>2509865Went about this in a very retarded way, but now its great. Here's the system: Whoever occupies a duchy capital gets an event to establish an independent principality, all friendly occupied counties get transferred over. The remainder de jure counties, if there are any, get auto-annexed upon friendly occupation as long as the crusade is still going on. Leading to some dynamic borders.A bit OP maybe? Certainly unconventional in regards to the hoi-esque occupation
>>2510459Retarded because I first had every single duchy have its own event with its own scripted_effect, while it could just as well be done with a single event, making the whole system more dynamic.
>>2510462instead of notepad++ I recommend visual studio code and the Paradox Modding Toolkit extension
>>2510468I tried using visual studio code but I just can't get used to it

>>2510395Ok but what's stopping the After the End devs from making their mod look like this instead of it being sideways?
>>2510314>Why is the cheater with 5k domain limit cheating
>>2510377>>2510602imagine being this mad about someone cheating in a single player gamehope you're on blood pressure medication, bro
>>2510600Like the mod page says the engine doesn't really work with that aspect ratio. It works here since the entire east of the map includes a whole bunch of other shit, but if they did it just for AtE then it'd be a whole lotta empty space. Besides you can change the perspective yourself with the camera.
>>2510355Well I want to do a run as the kingdom of Yugra where I only have that kingdom and I have to beat Genghis Khan. Are there any tenets that would help me with that? Are any of the syncretism tenets good up there?>>2510373>Theodosian Walls is the best duchy building but that's hardly fair.>80 plague resistance is the magic number, any higher than that does nothing. Isolate Capital + Charnel Grounds + Hospice is enough to reach it.At max What are you saying here? You need that duchy building to reach that number (unless you get it from other sources), I hate the Theodosian Walls and the one Roma gets too because I'm going to be lacking plague resistance until the late medieval, and at that point it hardly matters.
Does anyone actually use the intrigue lifestyle? It seems like the most useless one to me.
>>2510627You're joking, right?
FUCK IT, WE'LL DO IT AS HAESTEINN, FUCKIN' PREMYSLIDS FUCKING SUCK. YOU THINK I CARE? I DON'T.
>>2510632No I legit never use it.
>>2510638You missed out.
>does anyone even use the sex and killing people focus? i find it gets in the way of my nothing ever happens playthroughs
>>2510653kek
>>2510627I hardly use them myself since I'm focused on development when I'm not bashing things with armies, on top of almost exclusively playing top liege, but>Schemingmakes intrigue notably more powerful>Seductionself-explanatory wankshit. Less jokingly, pretty helpful for getting in good graces of the opposite sex, which plays off Scheming tree. AI doesn't make use of it beyond some crusty old fuck seducing as many women as he can while perpetuating Herpes until someone decides to imprison or kill them for it.I can't say anything on Torturer beyond "I think it gives Dread"
>he does not exclusively play dreadmaxxing north korea mode where any vassal who isn't terrified of you is getting imprisoned
>>2510662I remembered I could look at wikiTorturer looks like it'd be handy for conquest & arbitrary arrest, but not particularly as a first tree at all. So say however much into Martial trees (particularly Overseer), Torturer, boom lots of dread and vassals willing to do fuckall against you.Heir's gonna be fucked on opinion though unless he has a period of time to chill the fuck out and let opinion mods mellow.I still wouldn't bother outside rolling Conqueror unless there was a fair bit of internal border gore and it bothered me enough to warrant a reset button. Which might also be a pretty good use case, as one bumps up Crown Authority.
>>2510653Yeah man I like making bastards and having a ton of secrets people can blackmail me with for no fucking reason.>>2510669I think I'm the only person who plays this game that's actually good at managing vassal opinion.
>>2510611Isolate Capital + Charnel Grounds without upgrades is enough to get to 50 plague resist which is the second threshold. The 80% threshold is the most important, as it reduces the chance of getting infected for a character to get infected by 75%.The difference doesn't actually mater if you get Water rituals, as it will bring it down to the minimum infection chance for any plague even if it's the Black death at 50% resist. At which point you're better off going for a Hospice + Control Plagues + Isolate Capital. And getting something like a Royal Reserve instead.The development loss doesn't matter nearly as much as having your dynasts and good courtiers die off.

>>2510701>>AbductDidn't they nerf the shit out this scheme to near uselessness? How are you snatching rulers?

>>2510764Don't forget +really really good manual/dagger
What settings do you guys use for conquerors? I set it to no inheritance, with a rare chance for them to get scourge of the gods. It keeps things interesting, but it doesn't create these unending chains of godmen making massive fuck off empires.
>>2510764Anything you could do with that would be less than what you could do with a maxed out martial character.
>>2510681>I think I'm the only person who plays this game that's actually good at managing vassal opinion.vassal management does not necessarily mean happy vassalsyou only know how to plead and please, fuccboi

It doesn't matter I have more MAA than my neigbours combined, they somehow think short rule means I'm vulnerable and I have to fight 3 defensive wars at once until I run out of neigbours that I don't have truces with because for some fucking reason the AI is coded to declare war as soon as a slot frees up.
>>2510854they do love gangbangsit's even worse as Huangdi
Man, I really should have changed the domain limit game rule. It's so fucking obnoxious how low it is now. I used to be able to consistently get a domain limit of 12, now I can barely get 7 or 8.Do you guys play with increased domain limit? Or is that cheating?
>>2510888I play with +3, it's not cheating since everyone gets it.
>>2510627Very fun to play in Admin governments like Byz, you can wipe out characters so your kids get their theme's, scheme against the emperor if he does stupid stuff. Also a great way to play as an adventurer cause the criminal missions are very rewarding in gold and its funny wandering the world stealing artifacts. Who doesn't love stealing the pope's hat?
>>2510888I just take it as-is, not like it's necessary to have that many individual holdings+delegates building shit to AI which is not that big of a dealit's more annoying having to account for it with landing vassals imo, they'll inevitably get into tyranny wars trying to fill out demesne limit but if they'll at least sit on their ass 1st generation they might not immediately go on what may as well be a scripted revokation spree
Conquering random kingdoms to solve succession issues is the best way to deal with that sort of thing.
>>2510836You can't get yourself ez unlimited kingdom claims with martial.
parajew forums are no fun, man
>>2510918While you're sitting there waiting for your scheme to tick up I'm just clicking Invite To Court.
>>2510923>The only useful claimant sits at -150 willingnessWhat now?
My heir got excommunicated somehow, he's not a sinner or anything I don't know how that happened. I might just disinherit him. I really feel like you shouldn't lose legitimacy for disinheriting excommunicated heirs.
>>2510952Excommunications are made very easy and rampant. But truth is, they don't matter all that much and you easily get rid of it.
>>2510923>Invite To CourtBad bait.
>>2510920I remember the Assassins Creed Origins community hub a few years back, the one with the black egyptians....imagine ten thousand guys of your temperament swarming that motherfucker all in the same week! Steam holds it against us still, now they ban you for saying potato the wrong way lel
>>2510833Use hard power power projection to lessen the amount of empires. Conqueror rule? Less if you have pagans on the map (867, 1066) and normal in 1178. No inheritance, of course.
>>2510681Vassal opinion is piss easy to manage. Not that it matters anyway since any non-noob player should be able to mop the floor with any rebellion with even if it's half the empire standing against you.
>>2510888I play with lower limit to help the ai avoid tyranny spirals. You don't need the extra fiefs to beat the shitty ai.
>>2510981Realistically I don't, but I'm a control freak and I want to have complete control over my two duchies, why else would they make it so that vassals have a negative opinion about you holing the duchy they're in?
Also in my run an Orthodox ruler somehow formed the HRE. I'm the king of Bohemia. Should I swear fealty and try to solve that issue? Or should I just wait a while, consolidate my power, and see if it resolves itself?
What's the first thing you guys are gonna do in Silk and Silver? At first I was planning on playing as a republican Switzerland, but then I saw they're going to add usury, so now I'm tempted to play as a Jewish merchant and use my gold and influence to fuck the Abbasids in the ass and take Israel.https://youtu.be/wCbgyUrfl30
Is Norman the best European culture for combat in this game?
>>2511079You’re supposed to spend centuries corrupting England before you do that.
>>2511125In 867 England is fucked anyway. Same in 1066, fuck Normans.
>>2511124I think English is slightly better because it starts with Longbow Competitions and can gain the Audacious Cadets (because Norman hybrid), giving it the best archer unit and a top tier heavy cav unit
>>2511127But you haven’t even gotten kicked out for coin clipping yet, much less murdering Christian youth for their blood, and creating the Bank of EnglandDo you even roleplay bro?
>>2511135Are longbows really that good? I thought it was all about cavalry doom stacks. Interesting thing about English culture I noticed, if you make it via decision, it gets longships from Norman, but in the new 1178 start date, it doesn't get longships. And fun fact, longships are what give you access to the pillage and adventure legacies (and that -75% embarkation cost is really nice)
>>2511124norse >> anything else with huscarls > anything with good maa HIs >>>>>>>> anything with good HAs >>>>>>>>>>>>> anything with HAs in general >>>>>>> everything else with army move speed. Or you know, mouthbreathe spam crossbows and some siege and spears.Pointless longterm since you can mix and match trads tho (and norse has bonus points there too).>>2511135You'd want either lbs or conrois since lb trad directly fucks your hc size and only if you're a vagabond since they're cheap on provisions. If you want hc that's actually good I can't recommend the georgian ones enough. Fucking heavy knights that slap on hills and mountains.
>>2511145>lb trad directly fucks your hc sizeBut that's the beauty of audacious cadets it directly counters the longbow downside.
>>2511145I mean but Conrois beat them out in damage (even when you divide their damage in half because they're a size 50 regiment rather than size 100), and they get bonuses to their heavy cavalry from Audacious Cadets and coastal warriors gives you no such bonus. Also I think they get early access to the Lancer accolade which gives Retinue Lancers, which are second only to elephants and maybe some of the horse archers, but we're talking about Euro cultures.
>>2511124Combat where?
>>2511151imho that's you coping over wasting a trad slot>>2511143They used to be better back when HAs were considered skirms but I'd rather take crossbowfags for the counters and higher stats for the first 150-200 years give or take. Or you know, HI and some light cav or HAs for the instawipe so you don't have to play whackamole.
>>2511154Europe and the holy land.
>>2511155>imho that's you coping over wasting a trad slotI don't really min-max with traditions so I never view it as a waste. I prefer picking a regional tradition (in this case audacious cadets) and then later a tradition that fits the area.
What duchy buildings do you guys use? I use the Burial Site in my capital duchy and Military Acadamies in my secondary duchy, but I'm wondering if I might benefit from trying some others out.
>>2511170>this is the best>i larpPick one. No one is pretending it's a sweaty game or that you can't beat AI like a dog with anything if you stack enough modifiers, as one does in a paracuck game, but way I figure you're "solving" a problem you yourself caused. And that fix is costing you a trad slot. My man, that could've been concubines from the welsh instead or any number of different things that boost hc, archers or anything else with no downsides. And what are you getting for it? Two mid units that shine in completely opposite periods (as in by the time lbs reveal their final form you should be able to afford gendarmes as well), benefit from drastically different terrain for holdings and are the most commonly countered in the game both by different units and partly terrain.You get what I'm saying, right? Good on you for having your fun but too many loops for no real benefit.>>2511152Coastal warriors is nice because it boosts toughness of a stationed mma and HI usually have a shitload of that. I like conrois but they are not the zero effort assripper 3000 army swiss knife of a huscarl blob. AND that's after vvets got capped/nerfed. Shit was insane on launch.
>>2510920It's not particularly difficult to catch a ban, but I suspect they've lightened up after getting brigaded by the discord turranies (turk trannies)
>>2511190Turannies kek
>>2510988The opinion of a count is worth nothing when you reach the stage of double duchies. He can't do shit, and he's not going to join a faction unless he's your rival or you're a tyrant.
>>2511190A worm calling wolves roaches will never stop to amuse me

>>2511527Yeah, I'll make a post that can't possibly be made by AI.Recently I got this video in my recommended, and I watched a bit of it and it's mindraped me ever since.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2HOfdOvNrgBasically it's some epic memer spouting edgy takes while playing CK3.Why did something so mundane mindrape me?This is exactly the sort of stuff I used to post on /pol/ a literal decade ago. Only when I did it it was contrarian, now every other zoomer has these opinions. I say "has these opinions", but they don't actually have them, they just repeat whatever their tiktok, insta reels, X, FYP, discords, and algorithms tell them to think. The shit I posted from my basement as a kid to other like minded weirdos is now the mainstream. I was cool before it was cool, and it's not cool anymore because everyone thinks that way. My culture is not their costume, they have no right to be fed MY once white hot, now ice cold takes and think they're hot shit while doing it. Basically I'm the old Jew in the tomorrow belongs to me video, except instead of being ass-pained because I'm being persecuted it's because they took my counter-culture and made it lame.
>>2510290Seeing all the memes I used to shitpost about as a kid get adopted by normies infuriates me on a spiritual level. Now I understand why blacks are so butthurt by the n word.
>>2511557Kek I literally just posted something similar.Seeing all these fucking kids talk about the blackpill and hypergamy and shit is funny af.
>>2511557Please post the stress from greed one
>>2511557I've noticed a fair bit of what I'd associate with cringe&lame boomerisms hijacking that sort of online edginess if that adds to your frustration any. lot of it's ugly like hell with no aesthetic desire or sense, like they're making it to give a kick to an older relative who can't really see anymore. I can sort of recall seeing that sort of gaudy shit and being just disappointed in it as far back as 2014~2015, so I wouldn't be shocked if a chunk of it today stems from the teens of then. They're gonna be 30 year old boomers soon.
>>2511568I forgot the part where I was going to mention I was staring at the map calling AI braindead in ck2 back then too, lmaoI miss my old buddy old pal the oubliette, he was the best answer to unruly vassals and border goreactually holy shit there still isn't a vanilla game rule for disabling de jure drift FUCK dude

I laughed at him, thinking I was immune to that shit.God, if you’re still around unc, I’m so fucking sorry. I should’ve listened.
>>2511580I've quit 4chan 3 times now and every time I just come back. My dream is one day they make the captchas so annoying to do that I can keep away.
do the peasant revolts ever stop as Chinagettin real tired of seeing black turbans
>>2510926I've never had this problem.
>>2511587No, they're caused by low opinion not different faith/culture.You will always have at least 1 belligerent retard governor lowering county opinion to -100. Forcing the faction to spawn, which then coerce other counties to join because of course they can.
My heir somehow got roped into becoming a kingdom-tier herder.I have spares but I have absolutely no fucking idea how that happened.
Holy crap you can spawn in members of dead religions with the "find adherent" option.
WHY CAN'T I BUILD IT? I HAVE OVER 50 HUNTER EXPERIENCE. I SPENT SO MUCH MONEY ON THIS LEGEND AND I ONLY DID IT FOR THIS.
>>2511726Proof.
Ask claude
Why are you trying to build a palace when it clearly says hunting lodge?
>>2511736I can't click on the hunting lodge.
Maybe it's because I didn't have 50 experience when I completed the legend? Has anyone else dealt with this before? Should I just cut my losses and build the palace in a barony I don't care about?
>>2511726You needed to have 50 hunter experience when you complete the legend, not after. The tooltip doesn't communicate that though. Just useeffect root = { add_character_flag = legendary_hunting_lodge_flag }In the console if you don't want to load a save.
>>2511746Will that disable achievements? I swear, I had the option to complete the legend basically as soon as my guy's father died, and he was a crazy good hunter who actually competed a legendary hunt.
Also my wife wants to go to India. Should I let her? Maybe I'll let her go once she gives me a son, she's only given me daughters so far.
>>2511755Yeah.Legendary palace is still pretty good though. The extra building slot makes it where it's only competing against other buildings in price.
>>2511764Fuck it, I'll try to get it again, I have a county who's capital is in farmland, I'll just put it there. I really wanted to get some legendary hunts going this run, and it says that building boosts your chances of getting one, becasue one time I got an artifact from one that gave me +1 domain limit. But with the new "search for legendary hunts" option on the huntsmaster I already got one this run (but no artifacts that give domain limit).Thank you for the help BTW.
What the fuck I just looked it up and they removed +1 domain limit items. What the fuck? What's even the point of legendary hunts now?
>>2511776They made the prestige and piety rewards from T&T activities sane in 1.19. So now there isn't much point in hosting them anymore besides scheming or RP.Think of them as an AI gold sink that forces character interaction the AI wouldn't normaly engage in.
>>2511790I still like doing them so I can watch those little bars go up. Though they don't seem to do much for your knights specifically your acclaimed knights, and I feel like that should be one of the main draws of it, a way to train knights while at peace.
>>2511794That's what tourneys and accolades are for
>>2511796Yeah that's what I said. What?
>>2511800>What's even the point of legendary hunts now?>I feel like that should be one of the main draws of it, a way to train knights while at peace
>>2511801I was talking about tournaments, is that not what you meant by T&T?
>>2511804Oh, alright. Just that T&T added "grand" activities including grand hunts. And if you have traditions for hunting, hunts can still remain very relevant.
>>2511806I mean yeah the regular hunts are good, the issue is that the legendary hunts aren't much different, they just have a lower success chance.
Really I just hate that they always chose to nerf the player and never chose to buff the AI.
>>2511807You do get some extra renown and much better artefacts from them. +knights one are rarely useless.
>>2510290is ck3 worth it i heard from a friend that it is sort of like the sims lol might need to check it out
>>2511881If you like fart jokes, homosexuality and cuckoldry.
Do you guys actually read the events or do you just look at the numbers and what the options do?
>>2511892welll i kinda dont play this kinda game allot basically the extent of "strategy" games i play is stardew valley and obv the sims but i could try it is it complicated?
>>2511907No, idk, some people think it's hard. It's easier than something like Civilization, mainly becasue there's really no win condition besides survive.
>>2511910It sounds interesting enough and the character creator seems super extensive
>>2511895I initially read themonce I start recognizing them, I just check who's being affected then slap the button I wanttraits affecting stress differently usually winds up being the main time snag desu. Made me hate the paranoid/shy traits. Diligent too though that's mostly directed at AI family with the trait, since they are entirely reliant on me to somehow wear down that stress bar. Fuckers.
>>2511907It’s probably the easiest of the paradox games but if the extent of your experience with strategy gaming is stardew valley it might be hard for you.
>>2511912Well you really play as a dynasty one person at a time. Don't get too attached to your people, they get old and fall down the stairs and die.
>>2511916yeah lol kinda what i thought but i do like how deep customization is in this game tho
>>2511915Evidently jesters help keep your court low stress.
>>2511918ok so i shouldnt spend like 2 hours on creating a queen or someone? good to know...is there like any definitive guide for it? and do you need to be informed abt the period at all to enjoy it?
>>2511920yeah, that and tourneys/hunts/feasts (if they'll attend)still feels like a bitch of a time
I hate how fucking long everything takes in this game. Why does the closing ceremony of a grand tournament take a week? Hell why do the contests take that long? Fasts and tournaments should take like a week tops. I don't know why the game was made like this.
>>2511930I'd be happy if they implemented a way to impose a time limit for attendence, along with a list of guests who could make it in time dependingI don't wanna wait around for duke fucksbutts to take 6 months just to eat some totally-not-turkey-legsI just checked, looks like if you limit a feast to just your court/courtiers, it'll take place in like 12 days. lmfao, curate guest list I guess
You guys ever read the Paradox forums? The devs are such smarmy faggots.
>>2511945I think the forum users are significantly worse desu

>>2511945Not only do I read it, I post on it too. My latest post got 20 likes.
I think the real issue as to why the AI is so weak is that they never upgrade their holdings, they're not smart enough to save up gold and upgrade their castles so shit just stays locked at level 1. Whenever I play a game that starts in 867 by the time it hits about 1050, I'm pretty much unstoppable, no matter how small I am. Like I had a run where I was king of France (just the northern half) and I only had the duchy of Normandy, and I didn't even control the whole thing, and I was stack wiping a very strong Abbasid empire, if you're stack wiping the Abbasids nothing can really stop you.They need to make the AI smarter or something. I don't even think the issue with this game is the modifier stacking, I think it's the fact that the AI has Downs syndrome.
Anyway, long story short, I hate Swedes.
>>2510627Intrigue is hilariously powerful, it just requires constant micromanagement. Dread, even for "nice" rulers, has practically no downside and tons of upside. Stack like 30 natural dread and your vassals will basically never cross you.

>>2512425To be fair, have you tried to watch Warwick Davis's "comedy"?
i'm in the process of romanizing coats of arms in my realm, i swapped the boring generic lion CoA for this cool custom owl of athinai. apparently the historical one had olive leaf on it but i couldn't find it so i opted to put the star of astarte instead (i thought it was the star of makedon but i guess it wasn't that).
i also customized Latium's coat of arms, i dislike the historical one (i think it looks stupid). i decided to create something resembling the Orsini family coat of arms as they claim their CoA is descended form the Julio-Claudian coat of arms irl.
i also dismantled the greek pretenders.
oh cool, so the AI can just decide they are my tributary and i can't kill them because of that? that's just cool, also what's this truce about.

>>2512506Postives are, estate bonuses, power family bonuses, more potential MAAs overall.The downside is that MAAs triple in price. Accolades are now inherited with the noble family title, if it's destroyed or lost in succession you lose your accolades, primogenture russian roulette if you will. Your income is now heavily effected by governor efficiency which makes your income inconsistant between inheritances.Not worth it, Admin for the top liege is augmented by making governors print money and MAAs and then forcing that up. Without that it kind of sucks.
>>2512590Counterpoint: Admin lets you raise province armies independently from your MAAs, which lets you start multiple conquest wars in multiple places.
>>2512595Counter counterpoint: Admin sucks and forces you to use mana for what you could for free.
Why the fuck did the game decide this guy was suddenly a vassal of the pope? I have absolute crown authority, titles shouldn't be going to people outside my realm.Also my family somehow controls the church. 5 of the past 6 Popes have been of not only my dynasty but my house.

Fuck pursuit, fuck terrain bonuses, fuck counters, the only thing that matters is stacking as much damage as possible. Although I'm not sure how important toughness is.

>>2512838Ah I see, in ck3 it's male preference by default (only males inherit if there are males available). But I think Muslims get locked into male only, or being Muslim makes them chose that one, I don't know I never play as a Muslim.
>>2512840Muslims are locked in agnatic only in CK2 too.I think agnatic-cognatic will pass the rule to women if there are no eligible men but I'd rather take a game over.
>>2512835>Oddly, the first day of fighting would have Routed Casualties increase, but the number of armies shown will not decrease.Translated that means you'll stackwipe them only if you do it on the first day. So good on you if you can delete 20-40k mongols or holy war blobs day one but I'll still bring some pursuit so they don't bounce five times before they die.

Why are there no Goths in Crimea? Weren't they around until some shockingly late date?
One thing I've always thought they should do is give rulers aspirations, like a title they want to form, or a decision they want to take. Or maybe their aspiration could just be to develop the realm and build lots of buildings, or just to party and hunt a lot. These aspirations could be based on their personality, and their heir would have a chance of inheriting said aspiration if they have a personality that matches it. I think this would make the AI a lot more interesting, instead of them just sitting around sitting on their asses, or declaring wars for weird ass kingdoms. To be fair the AI does seem a bit better than it used to be, but it's still not that good. I also think if they made them more aggressive about declaring de jure wars it would help with the border gore issues a lot.
>>2513167Gothic is extinct culture for historical characters and Crimean Goths get dumped as Greek. I think in CK2 they're still around in 1066.

>>2513222The religion shit is so fucking fluid it's absurd. It feels like they should have expanded on personal belief system and focus on faiths banning certain tenets rather than having the three mainline one, or even just gotten rid of the tenet system as it existed and instead made religion work more like cultures so reforms take time and you have a chance to diverge if it starts doing something you don't like. Maybe even hard requirements for doctrines, so a certain percentage of characters worshipping the faith need an associated trait (witchcraft, fornicator, powerful female ruler, etc.) for the more controversial changes to go through.I played some Muslims and when time for some Crusades and Jihads had come Christianity was already splintered into a fuckton of rites, half of them led by a woman, half of them having most of sins being virtuous and half having some utterly insane tenets and most of them considered each other evil at that point. CK3 really shouldn't be a modern day simulator.

>>2513283Yeah, that actually sounds like a perfect idea, 3 core tenets that don't change, but the other ones can fall in and out of favor. I also don't really like doctrines changing, there's gonna come a day where I'm going to incest max, and I don't want some faggot ass priest telling me I can't fuck my sister.
There really should be an option to give Genghis Khan the scourge of the gods trait. Or something like that, he's too weak if you start in 867.

And while all their children were beautiful, fecund, herculean geniuses not one of them got the pure blood trait. It hardly matters, I'm that small health boost is probably not even that important. I'm just waiting around for the black death.
I can't get over how much I hate the new religion system with the changing tenets. Like in my game Mozarabism took over as the dominant rite, but does it feel any different? No, it's the fucking same becasue it's just cycling through all the same tenets. What's the point of a core tenet if it's core one day and heretical the next? I've said this before but why would I ever make my own rite? It's just gonna change and feel the same as the base rite after a while.This is actually the most shit change they've ever made to the game. And I know some people are gonna say: >hur dur you're just mad that you can't power game any moreThat's really not the reason. The most power gaming I do is adding the Esotericism tenet to my religion. Like for example sky burials is objectively the best funerary tradition, but if I'm playing as a viking I'm not gonna take it, because it doesn't fit thematically. 90% of the things I add to my religion are meme tier tenets that I chose for role play purposes.I really hope they reverse this, they need to reverse it man, it's totally ruined religion.

Do you guys know why sometimes when you have Scandinavian elective it acts like primogeniture, giving all the lower titles to the guy who wins the election (as long as he's one of your potential heirs) and sometimes it just gives that title to whoever wins the election while the rest of your lower titles are still subject to confederate partition? Do you have to be feudal for it to act like the former?

>>2513754Everyone and their mother change religions all the time just because they can.
>>2513754So what they did is separated the tenants from religions and now treat them as playing cards for priestly characters to shuffle around from the approved list every so often. The approved list/deck can be changed with a new priestly activity. You also get a personal tenant or few that can bypass that list.In practice? You want to make your own brand of catholicism with blackjack and hookers as non-priest? OK, but now you need a fuckboy priest you puppet into being your pocket pope. Flavorful as hell.
>>2513770>>2513834Ok so I went through the trouble of reading how this system works on the wiki, and it seems pretty good? I mean>priestly characters to shuffle around from the approved list every so oftenIsn't this literally what Luther did? Or any other heresy founder? On paper this new fluid system seems significantly better than the old one where faiths just remained rock solid all the time outside of scripted heresies, but judging by your complaints paradogs fucked up with numbers as always and made it way too fluid
Hello based department?!
>>2513843Yeah, that's why I said it's flavorful. Playing an actual priestly character is crap tho but it's a real nice content expansion for anyone wanting to larp as Henry the 8th.

>>2514089I believe the only location in Europe that paradox have said they're kinda making guesses for the 867 start is in the Estonian, Lithuanian baltic area cause of how hard it was to find a complete record of who owned what back then. As for the Aztec and whatnot while we might not have 100% accurate names for 867 central America i believe they at least have enough info to give you something to go with. The respective cultures have been settled there since the bronze era. So while Spain did its thing there's still stuff to discover and at least get a skeleton of what things might've looked like.I think the difficult think to pin down would be the native Americans in North America. They were so nomadic that outside of a few hills where Cahokia was people have found almost nothing about them in terms of borders.
