I'm in the early stages of a Denmark->Scandinavia game with the plan being to just take de jure Scandinavia and then play tall while staying out of the Christians' way. However, this happened while I was raiding France. Fuck should I do with it, just use it to unite Scandinavia faster or should I switch my goals and blobmaxx south?

Dyre also got Conqueror (near the start of the game but not that much earlier than me) and I'm allied with him for now through my son's marriage so we'll be on the same team for a long time, but I'm guessing the Ruthenian blob is going to head west sooner or later.

>>2036761
You already can with mods

>>2036760 (OP)
Didnt even know. Ill keep ignoring it

>>2037177
Conquerers have their own AI goals so I think they are not good long term Allies
There is no downside to taking it and using it for your own purposes to get what you want and then dropping the trait later, unless you want things to be more difficult since the trait is extremely OP as you know

I haven’t played in a while. Can you start as a landless adventurer without that dlc or is it required? I’ve been thinking about doing a run involving that.

>>2039617
just crack the dlc

I started a new campaign in CK3 in the area where Iran would be at. How the fuck are these Oghuz people so swole though? They have like 900 "special soldiers" and many regular troops. Not sure what I do but they are dunking on everyone in this area. I started in the year 867.

Any news on the Anbennar CK3 my brothers and sisters (male)?
Also does Gojheira do anything to stop mid-to-late game snowballing? I watched some videos on it by soul tomato and it looks pretty interesting.

>>2040659
is it the Seljuks or the Oghuz that spawn around the Aral Sea at the start of the game

>>2040740
I think its the Oghuz because that is who I see around me. I don't see Seljuks. But anyone, looks like they are doing "sponsored conquests" but they have waaay more dudes than I do. Not even sure how I stand against them. What is giving them the special soldiers?

>>2040741
oh, I think the sponsored conquest shit is something to do with the Iranian Intermezzo DLC, but the only time I ever played in that region was without the DLC, so I have no clue

I wish there were more diplomatic options for enforcing the end of a war without meeting all the war goals. Like if a rebelling vassal is completely fucked and has no allies or MaAs left, let me negotiate a surrender where I promise to not revoke his title or burn him at the stake in exchange for sparing me several months of sieging his castle.

>Hand off established and profitable fief to runt child that got bullied into having BOTH Craven and Shy while their siblings are all either Pillar Man knights, world-renowned scholars, or my one sick fuck daughter spymaster who tried to seduce me and also keeps trying to murder everyone she dislikes even slightly
>A decade and some change later when I'm now infirm and waiting to die, they're this far in debt and constantly stressed even though I put down at least three uprisings for them, increased control for them, have been running constant raid defense for them since they're right at the border of my own holdings, fed them several artifacts, and married them to a ubermensch spouse who is hard carrying them in stats.
Is this what it's like to be a disappointed parent? They even somehow managed to become a fat fuck despite having no traits that raise their target weight. Is having Shy truly this much of a debuff for the AI?

I genuinely feel bad for not letting them stay my cup bearer forever. When I have an actual child, I will helicopter and do everything in my power to ensure they're as fit and prepared for the real world as possible no matter how autistic they may be.

>>2041673
Shy is a terrible trait for AIs, and craven is bad too. They give a lot of stress and lock them out of stress reducing activities. There's a reason people hate the beating event so much.
And low stewardship is bad for vassals. High stewardship means more taxes and more development growth.
That vassals high diplomacy and martial stats are also basically irrelevant since you deal with their uprisings, raids, and control for them. And their high intrigue is more likely to be used against you than to benefit you.
So yes, that child should have stayed as your cupbearer.

>>2041646
Finally.

Has anyone here tried crusader wars? I've never played a total war game, but the idea of playing as an actual general and seeing the actual battlefield seems like a super cool concept, plus it always somewhat annoyed me that battles with thousands of soldiers are just represented by 2 guys fighting. Thinking of getting total war attila and learning it just for this, is the mod actually fun, or does it get boring after a while or is it more trouble than it's worth or some shit like that?

Just got this for GOT mod. It's okay... any fun playthroughs? I tried Stannis and currently have a Darkstar game going. I wish Dani was playable.

Anyone here browse the CK2 AtE Deposed threads? Would anyone want to see a CK3 AtE submod that changes several things?

>>2042540
Targs are playable, you just have to do some tricks with the adventurer band, the dedicated mod page has the details, you can even let them be and play as the blackfyre nigga instead

Once again PDX fails to see the point of complaints. This is still not difficulty, it is just giving AI even more cheats and crippling the player. Those DEI hires really were a mistake.

>>2042208
I would rather look at the horse, and give him a lick.

>>2042670
Learn to read, you illiterate brown subhuman. It says literally right there in your image that they're temporarily adding these arbitrary values while they work on adding proper, organic difficulty into the game because they realized having untested and unbalanced modifiers is better than having nothing.

>>2042895
difficulty could only come from having a more complex AI, which they wont do. These "temporary" measures gonna be permanent.

>>2042895
They could have added those arbitrary values when they added the arbitrary values for the easy mode. They clearly tried to increase the difficulty in other ways but failed and resorted to this. I don't think they'll ever add proper difficulty.

cultural acceptance never increases as nomads, neither with the court position thing neither without it, its always at 0%

>Game of Thrones
>Prince of Darkness
>Fallen Eagle
>LOTR
What total conversion mods am I missing? So far, I loaded up LOTR, played Saruman, looked around the map, realized LOTR just would never work/play right as a CK3 mod, and closed out of it. I loaded up the vampire mod, looked around, was overwhelmed/and it seemed kind of shitty at the same time... so I closed out of it. Fallen Eagle and Game of Thrones are the most fun so far.

>>2044721
Elder Kings, Godherja, check them out

>>2044665
Probably because of how nomad cultures work because it requires borders and nomad camps and borders might be set up to be different
Hopefully they’ll fix that or those “can hybrid at a lower acceptance” traditions are much less useful

>>2042670
>we want difficulty and challenge to be something that arise organically from how our mechanics interact

It's basically just turned into the sims, and most systems in the game are too flexible. The gamified currencies are balanced around scaling costs (which don't cap soon enough or scale fast enough to deal with players).
There's essentially no difference between different parts of the map or different cultures other than how much mana you have to spend to make them look the way you want.
It's way too easy to become ridiculously overpowered and vassal management is a piss take

>>2046518
You can build cool houses and decorate them in The Sims though. I think that series has more freedom.

What's the best mod right now? All I could find are flavour packs or like GoT total conversions.

I wonder how they'll deal with all those mods in the workshop doing this already, will they integrate them or start anew?

>>2049378
Why

>>2036760 (OP)
I love CK3 and I like this expansion. However, the way paradox has been handling these updates is not great. A update comes out this morning and NOW my game doesn’t work, whereas it worked on the previous version. Then I can’t just go back to 1.16.2.2 (or whatever) I have to go back to 1.16.2.0
Crashing is such a huge issue already and it makes me shudder to think what will happen when they add all of east Asia. For that matter, a setting to remove certain parts of the map would be amazing. When I’m playing in Europe (as I usually do) I don’t need sub Saharan Africa or India in my playthrough. I hope they figure this out BEFORE they add China in the game.
Way too ambitious. Love the game but it’s clearly too much too quickly lately.

>>2049378
You better believe we will get a Kongo dlc eventually

>>2049378
>That small Africa addition
But why? Did the lead dev insist on it because his wife's boyfriend comes from there?

>>2049452
>Why
Chinks and Japs love grand strategy, so Paradox is trying to appeal more to them. Paradox also needs to get back in the chinks' good graces, after they pissed them off with that one HOI4 DLC where India could core Tibet but China couldn't.

>>2049521
Don’t you know about Great Zanzibar?? It’s the pride of Africa! They once built a hut with two stories :O
Of course you couldn’t reach the second floor because they never made ladders or stairs or even invented a wheel, but that’s neither here nor there

>>2049521
>>2049535
Zanzibar was a well placed port for foreign merchants to stop in to buy slaves, resources and food from sub-Saharan Africa, without having to go into the interior of the continent. The name "Zanzibar" is Arabic/Persian and roughly means "black coast" or "land of the blacks."

Basically, it was only relevant because merchants from the Middle East and India went there a lot during the time period. It was more relevant during Europa Universalis's timeline, when Europeans showed up.

Just go back to wholesome killing women and children, none of that evil shit.

Still annoyed that CK3 lets me burn children at the stake but doesn't let me rape 18-year-old women. I mean I can force them into being my concubines sure but where's the option to just rape her once or twice and then ransom her off? Raiding al-Andalus would be way more enjoyable if I could rape cute young muslim princesses while doing it.

I don't even understand the intrigue system. I get if you happen to be in a unique position where you'll inherit land, it can be good to kill someone, but most of the time that's not the case. What the FUCK are you supposed to be doing with intrigue in the meantime?

>>2050048
You have to work long in advance. Marry your heir/children/dynasty to the 3rd, 4th, or further in line to inherit titles, then kill everyone who comes before them. Then you can get your heirs heir to inherit the title so that you'll eventually get it. And you can speed that up by killing them.
You can also use it to get hooks for elective titles.

>>2050048
you lack imagination
intrigue is the most overpowered and fun tree in the game
for example kidnappings, you could fill your court with 30+ main stat people, you could ransom emperors and their family members, get hooks, convert and marry their children or educate them in to your culture and potentially adopt in to your family, insta win every war by kidnapping your opponent and so on.

>>2050483
It is already shit, considering it is not even true. At the start of the game the Imperial power was still strong and the Emperor ruled directly. Once again, PDX fails to do basic level of research.

>>2050398
Idk, it all seems so... eh. "Wow admin government with some more polish!"

>>2050527
>At the start of the game the Imperial power was still strong and the Emperor ruled directly
No? The start of the game is the Heian period when the Fujiwara clan were in control and the imperial family were puppets cause their mommies were Fujiwara.

>>2050527
Just read the full diary.
>The Emperor, or Ten’nō, still has great ceremonial importance and is playable, but only directly rules his own family manor in all our start dates. Like many of the noble families in Japan, he resides in the imperial capital of Kyoto.
>The Emperor themselves can also aspire to the top position and, if appointed as Kampaku, is given the option to abdicate the imperial throne and rule as a cloistered emperor, representing periods of strong royal influence.
This certainly does feel stupid. I know that kanpaku of other families tried to use the position to strengthen their own power, and vaguely remember the imperial line using the position themselves for three generations straight to block their vassal houses, but shouldn't it be possible for the emperor to rule as a proper emperor rather than stuck trying to get the damn role all the time? I also feel that it's strange for him to be stuck as just a random manorfag in usual times.

i hope someone makes a mod to delete japan so i wouldnt have to.
completely irrelevant island only became something after 19th century but now they gonna have 100 provinces because weebs

>>2050556
Heian period is literally when the Imperial power was at its strongest. Even Fujiwara´s were forced to act as the Emperor´s stewards to get into power. It wasn't until the rise of Taira that the imperial power was dwindling.

>>2050581
That certainly should be possible. As I said, PDX just can't do proper research. It comes back time and time again.

There needs to be a Catholicism overhaul with a system where the pope is like a end game boss where he has much more authority than currently in the game. Make him so powerful that he can launch crusades without cooldowns when core Catholic lands are threatened. And make it so being a heretic or heathen in Catholic Europe is almost impossible and bring back secret societies as one of the few only ways to be a secret heretic where you can undermine the pope's authority over centuries by spreading your heresy secretly and bribing cardinals until you can dismantle the pope's authority enough for your heresy or heathen religion to take root. Also make it so that you have to support the pope's decisions and policies or get excommunicated (rather than this happening from just low opinion). Like make the pope have 'opinions' on certain things that Catholic characters have to support or risk excommunication (similar to the Jade Dragon dlc in ck2 where the Chinese emperor likes and dislikes certain things.

>>2050652
>completely irrelevant island only became something after 19th century but now they gonna have 100 provinces because weebs
Yeah as opposed to places like fucking Kilwa or Taiwan, which as we all know impacted the European kingdoms greatly

>>2050702
That anon might confuse the Emperor being at the top with them actually ruling. Read about cloistered rule, while eventually they did manage to implement a system where they rule on their own it's basically done by circumventing the tradition by prematurely retire when their succesor was still a child and the former emperor act as the regent instead of a noble family.

>>2050699
Cool

>>2049715

>>2045384
Along with these there are also a couple more
>Warcraft: Guardians of Azeroth Reforged

Keep in mind that besides a couple of the mods, all of these are outdated. And specifically with the Elder Kings mod it only gets updated once or twice a YEAR. They are very slow with a small team. Princes of Darkness is a good mod, tons of races, abilities, magic, lore, it's just that the World of Darkness itself is set in our world, so the map stays the same and is not as transformative as the other total conversion mods.

So when we getting meso america and pacific islanders as well? I mean most european rulers did not even knew about the existance of japs, chinks and sub saharans, may as well add cool mayans and incas

>>2050947
>bullshit
Exactly what I would expect from an AI summary of a Reddit thread.

>>2051002
Nobody knows shit of the rulers of the Americas before Columbus. Hopefully Paradox aren't that retarded that they include them.

>>2050947
... why is the AI reading dynasty names (as strings, which should be in a separate localization class) instead of underlying struct IDs in the core simulation?

>>2051002
just because you werent listening in school doesnt mean that everybody was as stupid

>>2051008
As opposed to the greatly archived ruler name for ngubus in subsaharan africa or random lords of central asia, lmao they just use random generator names and call it a day

>>2051008
america would showcase the shitty state of their province system where every piece of land must have a ruler.
I dont understand why they couldnt do what global conversion mods already did through workarounds and add colonization.

>>2051082
nobody gonna buy the latest slop then

>>2051052
They knew it existed only by word of mouth, they had no connections to it, no idea what their map looked like or their customs, anything, it was alien to them, see marco polo and many other explorers who started the age of exploration in the future, for most of europe the world was limited to india and north africa

>>2051012
CK2 has dynasty IDs, don't tell me they changed that.

>>2050398
Why wouldn't Merit be relevant in regular admin realms? How is Merit different from Prestige? For that matter, how is Influence different from Prestige?
If China gets a de jure hegemony, Rome probably should as well. Hell, maybe the current Arabian Empire ought to be made a Hegemony.
The treasury thing seems like another stupid currency that does exactly the stuff that one of the three basic currencies is described as doing. How is it different from gold? This whole thing could by modeled by straight tax modifiers.

>>2051097
Most European rulers didn't know what the culture on the other side of Europe looked like. They still knew it was there.

>>2051085
why the FUCK do they insist so much on adding 3d models to games that dont need it?

>>2051116
Rome probably should be a de jure hegemony since it still had a lot of cultural legitimacy throughout Europe and did for centuries after its fall. There's a reason people kept trying to portray themselves as legitimate successors to Rome and titling themselves Caesar/Kaiser/Tsar or Imperator/Emperor.

>>2051126
No they didnt know where it was, had no maps, nothing, it was a magic land untill the age of discovery

>>2051128
It's cheaper than 2D. If the question is why have portraits at all, then my guess is they have "data" indicating that it leads to more sales because the average buyer likes human faces or something dumb like that.

>>2051137
Maybe in 867 but not in the later start dates. The actual geographical extent of the Roman Empire had little to do with claiming to be its successor by this point.

>>2051159
They didn't know where it was, no, but they knew it was there.

>>2051012
>>2051106
It doesn't use the names, it uses IDs. The AI is hallucinating.
There would be no performance impact and it would be easy to code (harder than writing new events though). The real difficulty would be coming up with the logic to do it dynamically or the time to do them all in advance using preset values.

>>2051002
hmm, sunset invasion 2?

>>2050398
China and Japan sound interesting but this just seems like more feature bloat. Europe already barely interacts with subsaharan africa and anything east of Persia. And only a tiny fraction of players ever actually play in India or the Steppes. So this will be an even bigger performance hit to a game that already has bad performance. I think this would honestly work together if the game was divided into two different playable maps (Europe and Asia), where in a given campaign it's impossible to directly view or interact with the continent you aren't playing on and can only do so via CK2 style China interactions. That would save performance massively.

If the Godherja devs can add the Fogeater invasion, why the fuck can't the incompetent GOT CK3 devs add the White Walker invasion?

>>2051293
Nobody plays India because nobody likes poos. China and Japan, however...

>>2051097
thankfully there is such thing as diplomatic range in the game already, your european rulers will never contact most of the world unless they become adventurers.

>>2051408
i will try china but their bureaucracy doesnt sound fun at all, hopefully natural disasters gonna add something interesting to the playthrough.

>>2051293
>And only a tiny fraction of players ever actually play in India or the Steppes.
Because nobody gives a shit about pajeets and random finngolian tribes. People will play China and Japan.

>>2051293
I mean I'm quite excited for it personally. Japan and China will be fun, and if they plan to do something interesting with Korea that could be fun too. Also all the tiny Indonesian isles? I know for a fact I'll enjoy building an Empire there. India was boring in both CK2 and 3 because they never did anything with it. It was at the fringes of the map away from all the action and without any really defining and unique mechanics. And from a map painting perspective you only really have 2 options, through Tibet, or to the West through Persia, and dealing with the terrain in both of those areas is annoying as hell.

>>2050947

we gotta add more irrelevant pre-rebellion shit no one cares about first

i've been watching my city mayor for 40 years, never once i've seen him spend his money on improving the city, where is it all going is a mystery

>>2051729
But enough about your municipal issues, let's talk about the game

they nerfed intrigue a little bit, but its still strong af, allthough takes some time before really taking up since you need to unlock the left tree first.

don't get godherja
feels like someone went all in on world building autism but forgot to make it fun to play but maybe i'm just spoiled by the amount of goofy shit you can do in anbennar

>>2049378
When are they expanding further west so I can pillage and rape the various tribals as Vinland?

>>2051830
Nah that's always been a criticism the mod has had. There is no need for the 234802384208342 provinces it has, and for a couple years they kept adding more and more each patch. It's clear the devs really enjoy the world building, but not the streamlining itself. There are a number of things that just need to be cut period, like the underground bit.

im perfectly fine with vanilla thank you very much. Dont want to play some tranny "fixing the world wrongs" fantasy.

maybe nomads are a bit too strong...

>>2051729
Thought you were talking about your IRL mayor lol

>>2041668
russia region in general was dope in ck1 since you had lots of pagans and didnt need to wait for prestige to claim shit, just declare war and soon as a siege was done you got the county. Playing as a one province count in central europe was absolute hell, but I used to love it when I got really good martial lords and ruler in my realm and I used to be able to defeat bigger army simply due to that. One thing ck1 did better than ck2 or ck3 was the levy marshalling system, every province was mobilized when you clicked the mass mobilize and rulers would lead their levies and the levies would join together and have their rulers lead them and it would make for much more kino battles as you would see actual rulers dying. Sad thing is that you could track them but you could find them deceased in their sons portraits after you notice that a certain levy was missing a commander.
Ck1 did that very well, also the foster system was done perfectly, I wish paradox would have taken the levy and foster systems from ck1 to put in ck3.

>>2049766
>>2050373
yes i know bethesdas creations are shallow as piss with terrible world building but they turned off the option in the game rules because they are woke trannies

just mod it back in if it triggers you so much

>>2052310
>just do the modders job
ill just play a better mod

>>2051830
This is dumb criticism. The world and atmosphere is everything in CK3. The game plays the exact fucking same regardless of what you do, all the conversion mods are just about finding an atmosphere you like. YOU personally don't like the setting of a dying world with a fallen not-roman empire, but other people do like that.
>forgot to make it fun to play
What does this even mean? You ether like CK3 or not.

>>2051878
Except it's fucking cool and allows for all sorts of different LARP in different areas of the world?

>>2051625
This has been infuriating. I don't get why they keep adding timelines that nobody gives a fuck about. Make it GoT mod about (1) the fucking GoT books and, sure, throw in a timeline for House of the Dragons because that's popular now too, but nothing else. What were they thinking?

>>2052366
It was the same in CK2 though. I personally love all of the different timelines. In my mind the issue the mod is having is how slow they are at adding new areas to the map. It's at a snails pace, and every time they do add new land it's another stable kingdom. Almost nothing changes, it's stale, and you can't really conquer much land either if you're in a map painting mode. They desperately need to add the Summer Islands or something to that effect. A number of independent provinces that a player can just mess around with. In some of the timelines you can do that with the Disputed Lands, but then you're just sandwiched between 3 kingdoms once again. Also the map terrain is stunning, but jesus fuck it runs like shit because of it.

>>2052366
Or at least do the popular stuff first then when you've finished that go ahead with all the bullshit.

>>2052297
another thing that ck3 is missing imo is simulating part of feudalism where some of the lords just dont show up at all to the call to arms, neither their maa or levies

>>2052597
There should be more interesting tardwrangling of your nobles for sure.

>>2052597
men at arms belong to the monarch, unless its a bureaucracy

im trying to defend myself from a small nomadic savage 5000 vs 1700 and i just cant beat his army, what a joke.

>>2052626
how much of that is levy troops?

>>2052628
~3.7k
i know why im loosing, i just think its retarded that some ooga booga savage has an army that is by default stronger than that of a feudal. I have the economy, i have castles, my territory is bigger than his, and yet his men of arms are just stronger and cheaper than mine so he beats me.

>>2052633
somehow i also get NEGATIVE combat score for controlling my land that he tries to take hahahaha

>>2052642
nwm its his war* score, UI is just stupid, it lumps up this parameter together with the rest of negative modifiers

>>2052626
8 fucking years of war with 4 allies tied in, never won a single battle against his main army. Ended it only by assassination.

Any way to counter the game trying to kill all your kids and other npc's with stress?
>kid gets 16 years old
>boom, receives 200 stress for no fucking reason

>>2052597
Or they entirely switch sides at battle. Battle of Bosworth for example. But paracuck won't do this because it will piss off the casuals.

>>2052726
Jester

>>2052764
he barely does anything from my experience.

I tried a world conquest solely for the achievement today. Unsurprisingly, it isn't hard, but extremely annoying.
Time to go back to my regular schedule of turning everyone administrative and just messing around as a noble house.

>>2052597
ck1 had that simulated, lords who werent loyal would just straight up refuse to mobilize their men to fight for you.
Crazy how a game 2 decades old has this but our newer games dont have it.

damn they really nerfed kidnappings, the price goes up each year and the reward money doesnt
i guess its done to combat the cheese where you steal all their moneys, instead of just ransoming them

>>2052633
The thing is there wasn't really any tech disparity between feudal and nomads irl. It's common for anyone bordering the steppe to get raided annually unless they paid tribute. Just looks at China building those fuckhuge walls and even so it didn't even manage to stop them at all.

>>2052923
raiding, yes, but not subjugation by some shit fuck with a smaller territory just because he has better economy and stronger units than a feudal for some reason
they took byzantium in my game, nuff said imo.

i need a complete guide on what actions increase cultural acceptance. It all seems so random.

>>2053171
If you’re trying to boost it to make a hybrid culture then the main thing to do is have vassals with counties of that culture then do grand tour cultural festivals on them. That gives way more acceptance than anything else you can do.

>>2053171
Monument expedition has a culture acceptance focus. You can grind up at least 10% per expedition with it.

Razing is literally worse than in CK2.

>>2052726

>>2053099

I perfected my CK2 Roman Empire run to such an extent that I am able to reform the Empire in less than 20 years with just about any character in Byzantine vassal range (If you do it with Charlemange he changes his name). CK3 is way too much of a drag to do it with compared though

thats some prime alternative history cuckery right here

>>2053643
Hunter-gatherers are not pastoralists, retard.

>>2054154
Mongols did buy iron from sedentary civilizations (and they did buy finished products) but they had their own blacksmiths. While they would have bought weapons and armour from China, they also made their own.

>>2054249
they are both malnourished savages retard, the whole reason for mongol invasion was starvation from the climate change in the steppes

I'm personally pretty excited for this so that I, as an Anglo-Saxon-Norman-Norse ruler, can travel to East Asia and breed a race of the most comley looking hapas one could imagine. My wife is from "Song" and I think she'll really enjoy it when I show her what I've accomplished in the game (and soon will in real life with her if you know what I mean ;)

>>2054255
>people who eat lots of nutrient-dense meat are malnourished
Retard. The malnourished people were the settled peasants who had to subsist on shitty grain.

I think i want to remove all inheritable traits from my game. Every single playthrough becomes an eugenics program, just like sweden in 20th century

I do wish harem was its own mechanic for Muslims, actually having the first wife managing it and having her own little court and with all of its own specific attendants and dynamics. We literally have several historical fiction books about Roxelana, it is criminal that PDX didn't tap into any of this to actually make muslim gameplay unique.
Similarly, we need more flavour for Christians, there is so much you could add. And why the fuck are all the mods so soulless. Not even they add anything interesting.

>>2054910
i meant for the east asian dlc
the chinese emperor basically had to do everything his mother wanted him to do because she ran the harem and would deny him pussy if he didnt suck up to his maternal grandfather. having no harem tab is like not having a crusade mechanic for catholics.

the biggest issue for me is the believe that strength intelligence and beauty are inheritable.

>I JUST WANT TO KILL CHILDREN IN THE GAME, WHY DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND!???

>>2055145
but there is abortion in the game if the child was concepted through cheating, otherwise i dont know why would you want to abort your husbands baby, is that a fetish or something? or is it for a rape mod?

>>2055116
>overwhelmingly leftist circles such as reddit
if you think reddit is overwhelmingly leftist you should probably shift your window a bit to the left yourself

i dont know why so many people are the fans of these niggers, its kind of depressing really

>>2055210
same reason people are fond of any other band of marauding cutthroats, like pirates or vikings or samurai or knights or

>>2055188
that's a valid reason though.

>>2055217
lack of knowledge?

>>2055224
my recent historical discovery was that the first europenan feudals were no different to mafia mobs shaking people for protection money, absolutely no difference. Only much later they "bureaucratized" in to civility, at first they all were the absolute niggers.

ck3 simulates nicely how retarded tribals used to raise eachother's cities every fucking year because it what actually happened.
It should give feudals that option too but make it dishonorable, that you loose prestige from raiding other feudals.

>>2055319
im trying to conceive a strategy for easy conversion to paganism because i love raiding too much, fuck alliances and marriages, money is more important.

>>2055322
and merging with either norse or african culture for boats

>>2055319
>It should give feudals that option too but make it dishonorable, that you loose prestige from raiding other feudals.
Practiced Pirates tradition sort of allows that as long as you're only a duchy or lower. EK2 added a plunder tree to martial which does the same thing but for any character.

>>2055333
>obligatory requirement: 50% of culture is present in coastal counties
you could do that by taking over said counties and then reforming the culture but purely pragmatically converting to paganism is better
>EK2 added a plunder tree
i like that, need to check it out

>>2055339
but anyway, everybody should be able to raid by default, with penalties, just like recently converted pagans should be able to continue practicing their old rituals (including polygamy), with penalties. Rule of the church being absolute for yesterday's pagans is very ahistorical.

>>2052300
I genuinely love the schizo lore and religions of Elder Scrolls (pic related), but I think most of that work was done by people who no longer work at Bethesda, like Michael Kirkbride.

Yes, yes, the left/liberals are useful idiots for capitalism and always have been, but will you learn from that?

>>2055571
Kirkbride probably has the most recognition, but another big writer, Kurt Kuhlmann (basically the loremaster for the elder scrolls), left a couple years ago.

>>2053853
I have formed Rome in one lifetime in CK3. Admittedly starting as the Byz Emperor though and it was on an early patch. In the early start date you can marry into the Italian Royal family and get your son to inherit Italy while also being your vassal. Then you just have to do a few holy wars.

I wait until CK3 realease their next DLC. Based on the dev diary, Japan house system looks perfect for ASOIAF more than standard feudal that's currently used in the mod.

this game is so boring I swear to God

how funny is that paradox made saami in to a bigger savages than any of the african tribes in terms of innovations

So what runs will you guys do once Asia drops?
I'll definitely mess around somewhere but I honestly don't know, I remember checking out that one Asia mod a while ago only to realize I don't really care for them much more than I care about India. SEA might as well be a black hole, Korea is just... Korea, Japan's first really interesting period the Sengoku era, isn't covered in the game's timeline, the only semi-interesting happening is the Genpei War which takes place too late for me. I don't know much CK3 timeline China, they seem a bit more interesting than Japan, but still nowhere near as interesting as their earlier Three Kingdoms period or their later 19-20th century history.
I think I'll just make a Chinese adventurer in Europe or colonize Taiwan with a Chinese minor, I guess the Mongols messing around in China might as also be interesting.

I'll probably take a look at a couple of different tags/rulers and see what decisions are available.

You are braindead normalfag. Sengoku is the least interesting period in Japan. Heian, Genpei war, Kamakura, Nakasendai war, Southern vs Northern courts are all way more interesting.

Do co monarch’s get a reduced short reign penalty or no?

Pretty decent maps. A bit surprised about Korea not getting more of Balhae's territory as part of the de jure empire.

>>2057745
Japan not getting Okinawa is probably good and politically more expedient. In general denying Taiwan and Ryukyu to either Japan or China is just probably for the best.
I am a bit more divded on Amur. Seems weird for it to have territory in Japan, but I am assuming you will be able to expand de jure Japan to the region after driving out the last of the Emishi and Ainu.

>>2057747
>"both the Liao and Jin dynasties will mix Chinese administrative and bureaucratic practices of their imperial government with tribal and nomadic vassals whose traditions and inclinations may clash with the oft-Sinicizing ways of their rulers and those at court."
Thank christ.
Though I wonder how Kara Khitai/Western Liao will function, afaik they also brought over a more chinese style system with them to the west.

Any idea why I can't change to partition?

>>2057749
your dick has a short range penalty lmao

>>2057801
why are they all duplicated?
what mods do you have?
you HAVE unlocked the partition innovation, right?

>>2057747
The 3d models for asians still look terrible and I don't see them improving before the dlc releases

>>2057803
No clue
No mods
And yeah that seems like it's the problem. Russian culture head let me down. Any way to prevent people besides your heir getting free kingdoms when death is immanent?

>>2057809
Either get your other kids killed or form an empire
You should be giving land you conquer to your children, that way yours doesn't get split when you die

>>2057811
So if I grant a grand principality to one of my kids before I die the system won't create the kingdom and let him inherit that as well?

>>2057812
It depends on the amount of kingdoms/empires you hold
For example, let's assume you had 2 male children, 3 kingdom titles and the land for a 4th that wasn't yet created. If you gave 1 of the kingdoms to your second child with confederate partition and died the 4th kingdom title would be created and your second son would get it. If you gave 2 kingdom titles to your second son before dying he wouldn't get more when you die and the 4th title wouldn't be created

>>2057818
I see but sounds like either way unless I get regular partition or scale up to Empire size I'm going to start every new life needing to reclaim kingdoms

>>2057819
Yes, that's correct
That's why you want to move away from confederate as soon as possible, after that you just keep 1 empire/kingdom title and you won't lose any land to regular partition

>>2055258
Always has been.

>>2057809
many and many ways.
Title laws
succession laws
absolute tribal authority
getting them killed
sending them to monastery if catholic
disinheritance
castration
and more

i personally prefer the first one lately since it greatly expands the options but it requires some management and can be expensive.

>>2057954
title laws, if you've done everything correctly, allow you to not loose a single title after death even with confederate partition, even if your desired heir is of a non-preferred gender.

>>2057745
Why is that title in northern Japan called Amur?

So how are the nomads now? any fun?

>>2058146
dunno, it should be something like Azuma

>>2058265
strongest army in the game by far

>>2058265
I think the nomad DLC is surprisingly good. Just wish migration was more needed. You can sit in the same place without needing to migrate at all

>>2058290
But is it fun?
>>2058315
Thats good to hear, didn't look like it was too well received early on but I guess that was mostly on the bugs?

>>2058321
Mostly crashes, judging by the post release Dev diary

>>2046232
Is amazing

anyone else get this bug?

>>2058355
yeah

>>2057026
ngl the game would still feel empty and soulless to me even when they add asia. the game is literally just event spam...

>>2056982
not buy it. you fucking goysloppers

>>2056989
Who the fuck plays Crusader Kings to do this?

>>2056982
From here on the only playthroughs will be:
-Hellenic Roman Empire restoration
-Pagan Norse World Conquest
-Empire of Japan

Paradox are such cucks. They ban people even for voicing constructive criticism. They literally want the reddit audience only. To not get banned for criticizing their products you have to talk like a redditor cuck and grovel at the devs feet.

>>2059120
>sign up to a message board
>start breaking the rules that were agreed to when signing up
>get banned for being an autismo who can't hide his power level
>cry about it
Just be normal.

>>2059132
They ban polite suggestions and constructive criticism for being "too negative" for not kissing the devs' ass enough like
>great game but I have the following suggestions
Unless you praise them and their slop products constantly even if you word the criticism neutrally and polite they will ban you.

>>2059138
Has there ever been any proof of this? People have made this claim before but have eventually admitted that they called the devs retards in their post or whatever.

>>2059158
Yeah happens all the time on the ck3 steam forums. They are the most censorious.

>>2059138
>They ban polite suggestions and constructive criticism for being "too negative"
The China performance thread has posts full of people criticising Paradox for chasing YouTube trends, for adding China when Europe is still bland as shit, for dev priorities being bad, and various other things. And yet none of those posters have been banned. And many of those posts are quite negative about both CK3 and the Paradox as a company.
>even if you word the criticism neutrally
That choice of words is quite telling.

>>2059231
They will be banned after a couple of posts. They don't monitor the events & announcements forum as much as the general discussions one.

>>2056982
adventurer immortal and just spread my seed to all corners of the world by banging the wives of kings.

>>2059138
I regularly post on CK3 forums to try and sway them and the atmosphere actually feels negative. As long as you dont insult the devs, you should be fine.

i fucking hate fighting far away from my land. Either a raid or rebellion gonna come to the capital and kill half of my family, every time

>>2059257
just change the rally point to a province near and click raise all armies, the devs have dumbed down the game enough where I think even a retarded 5 year old could play it without much issue.

>>2059265
it is already raised and is "fighting far away from my land"

>>2059268
oh wow just get them close enough and disband then raise them again where you need them.

Guardians of Azeroth has been updated.

If I want to know if I'll like this or not, do I just enable all the DLC when I pirate or leave all the DLC off?

>>2059994
more shit will just confuse you
there is some learning curve to the base game already.

>>2060030
on the other hand maybe the game becomes more interesting with more shit, idunno

>>2059994
Start with no DLC unless there's some specific DLC feature that you think would really interest you. Like if you want to play as a wandering adventurer or viking or whatever then use the appropriate DLC.

>>2060036
i only have the last one disabled because i wait for them to nerf nomads.
people bitch about the plague one but imo its fine, havent seen so called event spam even once.

>>2059594
Let the fantasy race mixing begin yet again

ck3 is dead and Paradox killed it. They keep releasing patches that don't fix the crashes. You can't play with mods when they update every week. They're gonna leave it broken and take a summer vacation for 2 months.

>>2061798
Pretenders and their wives often target monarch and heir with the kill plots, if they dislike them enough. Still, dying in such plots is rather rare, unless you are a powerless child or absolutely HATED by everyone. I think it only happened a handful of times to me, despite thousands of hours.

>>2061798
my sons are usually trying to kill each other and I did have my heir try to kill me despite liking me. It doesn't happen often though.

My super playthrough I want to try to recreate the Roman Empire, Sassanid Persia and China with one dynasty ruling it all. Though I'll probably speedrun Rome and run off to China as an adventurer and play there and see what happens in Europe with Rome in charge. Also Malaysia + Indonesia Empire.

It's because the AI is programmed to only allow one character to plot against the player. It's an anti-frustration mechanic for ca$hual babbies.

The game is pure cheese as always. Playing as jarl jorvik? Immediately go start war against france for neustria establish norman culture for their heavy cavalry. Now you and your heirs are not left in a suicidal situation.

>>2061621
The future is keltic.

When I become an adventurer do my titles go to whoever is the heir? I wish there was more support for going back and forth between landed play and adventuring, especially for PoD.

Chinese mechanics sound kino, can't wait to play a duplicitous and corrupt regional governor intentionally destabilizing the dynasty so that I can make a power grab when everything falls apart

>>2063640
When will you ever learn, retard-kun? All PDX mechanics always sound cool on paper in the dev diaries. And then every time they are the most boring and bland thing in the actual game. And you can never do anything actually cool that happened in history.

the exam system should require you to write a real essay that gets sent of to Paradox to be graded

the exam system should require you to bribe the examinator because this is how it was in china

>>2046980
I don't believe it's implemented yet because fun is on the backburner.

>>2063999
>the exam system should require you to bribe the examinator because this is how it was in china
By speaking this blatant lie, you have hurt the feelings of 1.3 billion Chinese people.

is there any decent TC mod for this game yet?

Does this game have any actual gameplay or is it just for roleplaying

Why does this fucking game take over 16g of RAM with mods?

>>2064340
Oh I see. So the devs have just been watching too many onsen scenes in anime.

>>2063508
>Political Movements
these should just replace factions and vassal types across the board.

Is stacking knight effectiveness still the "meta" for strong armies? Or can you do it with MAA now? Haven't played in well over a year and all the China stuff being added has gotten me wanting to play again.

>>2064446
They made tons of new mechanics that's frustatingly only interactable in newer content. Like soil fertility only matter to nomads and viking adventurer is technically obsolate due to landless adventurer but it still exist anyways, hell you can't even play as a Varangian at all.

this seems simplified
following the trends i guess

Iberian struggle is such hot fucking garbage
Why can't I have control over what my vassals are doing? Why can they declare total war on everything inside my kingdom for no reason and with no consequences?
Also high partition is total nonsense, I should have more control of who gets what and how the realm will partition

>>2064580
It's our sunset invasion dlc.

>>2064351
>he plays parajew games with less than 64gb of RAM
You should have learned 16gb wasn't enough playing CK2.

>>2057747
Is Hegemony gonna be like an Empire of Empires sorta title?

>>2064563
Nomad domiciles are so fucking rich in content in comparison with camp adventurers, they have to backtrack at least a bit

>>2064580
Because feudalism is flawed to the core. Admin and nomadic realms get primogeniture out of the box, and even clan governments have little requirements to effectively enact single heir succession.
It's a common trend really. Old content sucks compared to newer stuff.

>>2064759
Iberian struggle intensifies the shitiness of feudalism cause everyone gets free CBs on everyone including fellow vassals

>>2064596
from what I understand yes, but all other than china need to be formed via decision first

>>2064763
That is not feudalism at all, in feudal society it is the exact opposite. It is actually really difficult to justify war on another without having everyone despise you. That is another thing that CK2 did way better than 3, because CBs were actually hard to get.

>>2064351
>with mods?
*without mods
>>2064590
CK2 had reasonable RAM usage.

>>2064539
You can with MAA as well, knights or MAA work. Easy enough to do a little of both

>>2064579
Would you rather they use Traditional Chinese instead?

>>2064935
I was going by "with" mods.

>>2063266
Provisions, something that otherwise has zero interaction with the rest of the game. They could have made it interact with army supplies, but no.

>>2064801
With an implication being that someone in China made that decision before the start date

I'm so fucking hyped for Chyna. It's gonna be so kino

>>2065620
>that someone in China made that decision before the start date

>>2065572
Both provisions and weather should have been added as an universal thing for everyone as part of the patch. It would fix lot of issues the game has.

They certainly should, but that would hurt the feelings of the Chinese nation, because only the rebellious island province that shall not be named uses the old script.

>>2064579
wtf is this projection, Korea and Japan look huge

blobbing as a tribal feels really unfun

I really wonder how Paradox will depict the Emperor of Japan in a non offensive way in a game where you can rape and cannibalize any character. The Japanese still view their Emperor as holy and untouchable. It would be hypocritical for them not to do something special for him when they skip over an entire section of history just for Muslims. Especially since whatever would be depicted happening to Muhammad would be significantly less terrible than what you can do in CK3 to every character.

>>2066089
Korea and Japan are huge.

>>2066089
They are pretty large in real life. Look at Japan projected next to either American coast. More on Japan, it is a country that has nearly every single type of environment in the world due to its immense length.

>>2066150
They have a really weird distorted shape, CK3's map projection is really terrible in general though. I don't know why they don't just copy the projection that mods were already using.

>>2066153
They probably want the countries to feel big while playing in them as you will spend pretty much all your time there unless you go crazy with conquest.

Hard mode with twice the amount of conquerors is surprisingly enjoyable. Conquerors actually create stable blobs while everyone is also building alliances and troops to the limit.
Things aren't just complete walkovers like that, which does make things rather fun. It does make me wonder what random mp lobbies are like though.

>>2066148
They'll treat him like any other character. The Japanese don't get special treatment like Muslims and Chinese.

>>2066153
I don't know why they didn't just reuse Imperator's map but with more provinces in eastern Europe (kinda what TW Atilla did compared to Rome II), or at least reuse the projection from that game. Imperator got really experimental with its map and the result is arguably Paradox's best map, plus it had that funky globe-like effect when you looked around on it, but they decided to throw all that away for CK3's map whose projection is now this lopsided thing.

>>2066148
>I really wonder how Paradox will depict the Emperor of Japan in a non offensive way
They won't.
>The Japanese still view their Emperor as holy and untouchable.
But they don't subhuman gaijin to comprehend this or to care for Japanese sensibilities.
>It would be hypocritical
When has that stopped anybody?

>>2066347
>They won't.
They literally said that he'll be playable.

>>2066148
Unlike China, HoI has never been banned in Japan.

I don't think Japanese people care. (Except for ideological junkies)

Should I convert the Fief of the Black Cross to Eternal Senate? It says there's a decision to give you a modifier but I don't know what that modifier is.

>>2066456
Why do crusades led by shadow inquisition fellows in that mod give titles to VAMPIRES? They won the war for England and gave it to some obscure "holy monarch" who sure as fuck wasn't purging bats and ghoulies, they won the war and lost the peace!

>>2066148
Jap market isn't big enough for them to care and they're not black or brown so swedes don't give a fuck

Why the fuck are there events where brigands ask for a toll from a literal ruler.
>le pay toll ~200 gold
>le 1 lone bodyguard duel the brigands (small success chance)
>le intimidate the brigands (small success chance)
Did they just copy stuff straight out of Skyrim? Rulers didn't just travel with one fucking bodyguard they had an entire retinue.

>>2066148
>The Japanese still view their Emperor as holy and untouchable.
They don't you baka gaijin. That is literally why "killing a god" is such a popular trope in the JRPGs.

>>2066148
>>2066253
>>2066347
>>2066398
>>2066534
>>2066537
Everyone sees the Japanese as "Honorary White People," so they don't get the privilege of being treated with kiddie gloves, unlike most other non-White peoples.

>>2066356
I think he means they won't depict him in a non offensive way, not that they won't depict him at all.

ANBENNAR NIGGAS

am I doing it wrong or does roads to power just suck? why does everybody love this dlc so much? its the same events on repeat and it just feels so grindy. what am I missing

>>2067599
I think most of the praise for CK3 comes from people who have played it very little but like the ideas of things and assume the game works the way you'd imagine it to work. You're not missing anything, being an adventurer is just grinding events until you get enough free MAA to take whatever land you want so you can start actually playing the game.

>>2067616
you could be a knowledge focused adventurer and go around converting people and their land to your religion, which is very tedious in the normal game without conquest. You could also switch your religion or culture much faster than normally. You could choose a favorite child, transfer him all your gold before death, pick him as a character to play and then do your thing without grinding. Most players who bitch about ck3 mechanics lack imagination.

>>2067620
I played as a scholar adventurer when the expansion came out, it wasn't interesting. I asked rulers to convert to the religion I made up and they did, it felt more like using console commands than gameplay.

>>2067623
you cant make a religion as an adventurer and in order for them to agree to convert they have to like you but yes, as with most of elements of the game AI just goes along with whatever you want with no regard for their personal benefit, ck3 is shallow in that regard. It is somewhat fixed by mods adding opinion modifiers to various requests

>>2066955
yes
I'm sad I didn't notice Winter King got a showing last time

There's a Muslim conqueror primed in both starts to take over India. Hindustan forms more often than the HRE in my experience.

>>2068320
I just realized the Mongol Grand Patriarch is gay too.

>>2068440
He still accomplished more in his life than any of your dynasty combined.

>>2068403
>>2068438
Yeah it seems that it was the Ghaznavids that took over Afghanistan are the ones that formed this Hindustan.

>Join us tomorrow for a deep dive into the Japanese archipelago and Korean peninsula in All Under Heaven! We'll discuss three new unique governments, House Blocs, the rise of the Shōgun, the Yongsun Throne of Goryeo, and more

Interested in playing CK3 again but it looks like AtE hasn't updated for the current patch and I don't like vanilla. Any other good conversion mods?

Cheeky SEA Wanua there

Damn, looks like weebs only care when it's Sengoku

>>2069578
Even real Japanese only give a shit about Sengoku. A big chunk of Japanese history before and after that was peaceful nothingburger (before they got scared by Whitemen) after all.

bros please
i've been trying to make creaminstaller work for two days now but i keep getting parsing errors
someone hold my hand throguh this stuff

>>2069734
i dont like to post it here because it brings closer the possibility of them adding another drm, but just place the 3 files in "binaries" folder and have the dlc folders downloaded from somewhere, thats it.
.ini file must have the list of all the dlc's, you can edit it yourself if it misses the latest ones

explain to me why blocs shouldn't exist in all realms

>>2069620
Ricepill me on the Sengoku period, weeaboo chuds. Is that when all the cool samurai wars and Inyuyasha shit goes down?

one of my retarded vassals is over 100 years in debt

>>2069918

>>2069919
how, when the game starts in 867

>>2069925
idk, maybe a bug

>>2069362
I feel as if blocs and house relations are things all realms should have. House relations would be good for inter-realm relations as well, it would make rivalries with a neighbouring kingdom more interesting at least.

>>2069859
Yeah, it's the peak of samurai combat and romanticism, mostly due to the 200 years of peace that followed, giving those war-deprived samurai centuries to build up the legends of their forebearers
Unlike how CK3's time period is mostly just court scheming in Kansai between the Fujiwara and Tachibana until the Taira and Minamoto come to blows, Sengoku was ~150 year FFA from Kyushu to Aomori, with hundreds of warlords/clans rising and falling, but making impacts on their local history. These characters and their snippets of personality creates a bunch of larger than life characters and conflicts, such as Takeda-Uesugi wars, the Ouchi attempts of playing Shogun-maker, the arrival of the Jesuits and introduction of matchlocks, the Ikko-Ikki and growth of the ashigaru, the rise of the Oda clan, the assassination of Nobunaga after his near-unification, Hideyoshi's assumption of power and the invasion of Korea, the execution of Sen no Rikyū, Nobunaga triumphant at Sekigahara, and the last gasp at the siege of Osaka.
Asian recordkeeping is great and they have the care to deeply cherish some of their regional champions.

>>2069938
Also, yeah, most samurai dramas, like Inuyasha, are set suring Sengoku. If there are large armies running around, castles being sieged, and heavy armored samurai roaming about, it's the Warring States.
Japan's technology was isolated afterwards, but the peacetimes meant little need for armor but plenty want for school swords, so there are also plenty of Edo period dramas, particularly involving the opening of the country during the 1850s-60s Bakumatsu

>>2069931
They said that house relations will be for all, coming free with the AUH update

Modular governments.
Yes or no?

>>2046387
what event and what meme?

>>2056443
samis wheren't even organized i to tribes so they where at the time objectivly more savage then west africans. interior north scandinavia should just be impassable terrain

Oh god, this fucking sucks. It just makes Japan into one giant mountain. When in reality there is variety of mountains, valleys, forests, hills and plains. PDX really needs to start doing at least basic research.

>>2070179
It looks like crap. Reminds of Vic 3 map

>>2055145
8 year old child wives are BASED tho

>>2070001
yes, but nowhere near as much as religion

Anyone else have this?
Steam is running, doesnt have admin and i opened it through steam
I wanna fix this before doing creamapi shit

>>2070132
>You've chosen the wrong castle, fool
that fires every 5 years

>>2070216
Okay, changing "steam" to "pdx" in launcher-settings.json remedied this
But now subscribed mods arent showing up in the launcher

>>2070179
I had the same complaint about China
Paradox really needs to elevate so many mountains into impassible terrain because all of the civilization and military actions didn't take place in "mountains" but the settled, moderate areas alongside
plus having actual chokepoints to force military engagements is one reason I love Shogun 2

>>2070179
LOL.

got past it by running steam as admin
>>2069746
>just place the 3 files in "binaries" folder
did that and replaced the existing files (also added the dlcs to the .ini)
now launching from the launcher gives me "unable to locate the original Valve API"

I don't have faith in CK3 anymore but at least it looks like they have the right priorities for what they're doing after Asia.

>>2070616
i dont really know what Empire and Laws implies and doesnt seem like they do either.

>>2070433
never seen that
is that an actual organization? doubt it

>>2069734
Just use Steam Auto Cracker

>>2070216
>>2070261
Change steam to gog in the launcher settings.

whaaaaaat

>>2070840
It's actually +6 I think. Intrigue perk, max level intrigue court, fully upgraded Alamut special building, one of estate building, "confidant schemer" administrative family attribute, and one of the reward for ending the Iranian struggle. Basically play as Iranian admin realm.

>>2070814
It comes with the spain dlc

>>2070433
I don't like this kind of event where it spawn a titled non generic character. It really break immersion when there's exist bunch of king of thieves, headless dude from court event, and the Aladin reference (court event got tons of this shit).

>>2070433
How is this a 2017 meme when GTA:SA came out in 2004?

>>2070856
i dont think im able to play intrigue outside of the vikangz region anymore, since i learned about their dynasty perk for +50% ransom money and +prestige equal to gold
this game is a vikang power fantasy

>>2071256
became a 'meme' around 2017
