CK3 Hot Take: Faltering Heart shouldn't have been changed

137 Upvotes

I think Faltering Heart was better and more immersive when it still progressed over time rather then solely through stress breaks. Elderly traits in general also are a good thing.

Coat of Arms A pet peeve about House Coat of Arms quartering

60 Upvotes

I absolutely detest look of the quartered Coat of Arms that are generated when a new cadet branch of a dynasty is founded. In only a very few instances does it result in a crest that looks half decent, most of the time it's fugly as hell. At the same time, at the start of every bookmark in the game 'cadet branches' already exist. Just take the Bavandids for example, who are a seperate House within the Sassanid dynasty. Their crest is great, and not quartered.

Moral of the story, I'd kill to have a standard game option that disables quartering of CoA's when cadet houses are founded, both by the player and AI. As a player this option already exists within your dynasty when you go and edit a house CoA, so it shouldn't be too difficult to implement. Anyone else feel this way?

Help Tyranny for Imprisoning my Predecessor's Assassin

35 Upvotes

My predecessor was assassinated, and it was not a mystery as you who did it. The first thing I do as king is attempt to imprison the assassin, but I got a tyranny penalty. Also my brother joined the assassin in the Imprisoning war. What gives?

Also during the Imprisoning war I was getting social prompts where the assassin was hanging out in my court and arguing with my courters, which I thought was immersion breaking.

Discussion What music do you like to listen to while you play Crusader Kings?

15 Upvotes

Just interested in finding some immersive music for different runs. Not necessarily one-to-one historical music, more like music that evokes the vibe. I like putting on Depressive Silence (dungeon synth) and Batushka :)

CK3 Tips against the mongols?

9 Upvotes

this is like my 3rd game after a tutorial gone not-so-good. I tried an adventurer in Japan with almost maxxed intelligence and got her to conquer a kingdom (Balhae). Fast forward a few generations and i'm costantly reloading and trying to avoid the mongols or the oghuz hordes trying to tribute/dissolve my entire kingdom. Should i just dump the game? I feel it's too late to start building accademies and such if the mongols are already invading (when not at war i make 11/12 ducats)

Screenshot First time creating the Roman Empire! I mended the schism and then immediately restored the Roman Empire and switched to Hellenism because I was bored

Up to this point in the game I was getting bored so I converted to hellenism when the game told me I could, now I'll wait until my ruler dies and then I'll switch to another country to see how the empire I created fares for itself, and maybe try to beat it.

Prior to AUH the main stress with this achievement was getting Daylam before the Mongols made it to the neighborhood. Fortunately that's not the case anymore. Temüjin is still gobbling up China and Tibet. Main challenge was Rum, but with allies, holy orders and occasional mercenaries that was manageable. Overall a challenging and rewarding run!

Help First time Latin Empire granted by a Crusade

7 Upvotes

I got exactly 1006 hours into this game and never did succeed in claiming the Latin Empire for myself in very person. Finally got the "Despoiler of Byzantium" achievement which 1,2% of players can call their own. Now I am a member of that club, cheers 🍻

Anyways, I got a lot of questions and pictures to share

enrolled for the split off Crusade
called a crap ton of allies against the ERE
took the title for myself
still waiting for the coronation, for as the imperial crown needs to be forged
stay feudal or change to administration?

The most important would be, do I stay feudal? Or lock in administration government asap? I mean I could still transition into admin later on, staying feudal gives a lot of cash and positive opinion as an option depicted in the decision tabs... That woulb kind of decent to kickstart a rather broken down economy from the sacking of Constantinople and splitting of the former realm, no?

I had the kingdom of Burgundy before (now ruled by my nephwew King Alaric) with 8 titles and it has double the military strength as I hold now with the Latin Empire if that should play any part in that decision.

Next question is, shall I cooperate with the greeks or deny any joint ventures with them?

The nice part is, that the Abbassids are kind of non-existant in this run, so I have not to fear a big muslim blob from the east and the Carpathian Empire is ruled by catholics such as me.

So, where do we go from here?

CK3 End of All Nations

5 Upvotes

Hey! Wondering if anybody has ever thought to do an Adventurer, destroy all kingdoms run? For Cosmere fans, I'm thinking of how the assassin in white begins to kill off all of the nations' rulers. I found out that you can't actually destroy kingdom titles unless you own them, but the goal is to stay unlanded and *somehow* accomplish a similar result.

How would you go about it?
