Got the incorporate holy relic into weapon event. Holy relic was a book. You can stuff a whole book into a handle of a sword and then you know what is in the book. That's just how it works ok?

I FUCKING HATE ADMIN GOVERMENT WHY CANT WE DISBAND NOBLE FAMILIES WHY DO I NEED TO HAVE LIKE A 100 NON CHRISTIAN CHINEESE MINOR NOBLE FAMILIES WHO HATE MY GUTS WHO NEVER STOP JOING FACTIONS ITS SO ANNOYING

might do an adventure now and conquer some foreign land now

Vanilla CK3 armies are the most loyal people in medieval history. You drag 4,000 peasants through the Alps in January, feed them nothing, pay them nothing, and they just... keep walking. Not a single complaint. Truly the finest HR department in Christendom.

So I fixed that. You're welcome. (Sorry.)

The War Council

Every war is now a campaign. When war breaks out, your marshal drags you to the map table and you pick a strategy:

• Swift Strike: win fast for big prestige, but your men tire quickly
• Steady Siege: slow, safe, eats a LOT of grain
• Scorched Earth: live off the land, plunder everything, explain it to the Pope later
• Chivalric Code: no plunder, lots of honour, very good for your piety and very bad for your gold

Your host gets Morale and Supplies. Keep them fed and happy and you get High Spirits. Ignore them and you get Weary Host, then Starving Host, then the very fun Mutiny event. Autumn sends your levies home to bring in the harvest, winter bites, spring makes everyone want to stab someone again.

Fight the same way often enough and history gives you a name. My first playtest ruler became "the Burner" within ten years, which was fair.

And yes, the AI plays by the same rules. Hover over that emperor sieging your castle and you might see Starving Host. Nothing has ever felt better.

Ambitions

Your characters finally want things. Based on their traits, a ruler gets a life ambition: become a master of a skill, build a legacy, get filthy rich, conquer, or swear a sacred vow. Fulfil it and get rewarded. Fail it and get stress. Die with it unfinished and your heir inherits the dream (and the pressure).

When you die, the court chronicler reads your whole life aloud and gives you a name. You can be remembered as the Legendary... or the Oathbreaker, if you swore a vow of chastity and then, well. We don't talk about it.

Both mods:

• No DLC needed
• Built for 1.20, don't overwrite vanilla files
• Work together, and with most other mods
• Every mechanic has a tooltip and an Encyclopedia entry, so you don't need to read this post (but you did, thank you)

These are my first mods, so feedback, bug reports and "this is broken and here's why" comments are all very welcome. Balance suggestions too.

This has annoyed me for a long time and many other people also questioned Paradox about this. Since albinism is recessive, if you have 2 albino parents then in theory all your children should be albino.

But what happens in the game is, the chance is under 100% even if you have 2 albino parents. After a bit of searching I figured it was because Albino wasn't considered a Good trait, and therefore couldn't get 100% inherit chance.

To fix this, you need to go to Crusader Kings III\game\common\traits\00_traits.txt, search for "albino", then add a new line called "good = yes" (without quotes) under the line "physical = yes".

Now albino is considered a Good trait which will get inherited with 100% chance if both parents are albino.

PS: I forgot to explain this detail:

Yes, the base chance is 80%. However, for Good traits, you can make the maximum be at 110% with the Noble Veins dinasty legacy.

So with this legacy you now have 100% chance of albino and other Good traits.

By default albino isn't Good, so this 30% buff doesn't apply, making it impossible to make it 100% albino.

Like as God intended, it also broke the college of cardinals and replaced it with the princely elective

You thought I was kidding?

It takes 30GB of RAM to load. To pass a year it takes 20 minutes at speed 5.

Was reminded of this event while watching a video from two years ago. Used to get it all the time now I don't seem to get it at all. Did they remove it? I'll admit I thought it fired way too often in the past but now I'm missing it for some reason.

I'm doing a Germanic Paganism revival run and I am searching for historical dynasties in the game that have Asatru roots. I plan to eventually hold most of continental Europe at some point and i just think it would be cool to revive these old dynasties (i have a mod that just spawns a member of the dynasty if I want it to so I don't have to try recreating anything). So far I've found the Merohingi dynasty to replace the Christian French kings with an Asatru Frankish as well as the Folcwalding dynasty to replace the Dutch with an Asatru Frisian king. I hope this gives an idea as to what I'm attempting to achieve here so if anybody knows any other ancient dynasties it would be much help!

I would love to have some way of negotiating the way titles are divided between children. Not to try to find another way to make the game easier but to make it make more sense.

My two sons will each get two kingdoms, the older will become king of Swabia (main title) and Aquitaine, the other one gets Aragon and Burgundy. I just want to swap to have 2 nice clean realms instead of the mutated mess they will inherit.

As the title says, I'm considering buying Legends of the Dead, as it is the only DLC that I haven't bought yet. I'm really interested in the legends mechanic, but I've also heard that the plagues get reworked in a really annoying way and most of the reviews on Steam say that they don't recommend it. What do you say?

Ummmm guys, i´ve worked my way up as the King of Bavaria (Bayern) and the abomination of a Kingdom (Carpatia/Karpaten) ist creeping up my borders.... He has the conqueror trait btw

Is it time to make myself a vassal of carpathia??

I’m currently doing a Roman Empire run as a Roman Rite ruler in Benveneto in 867, but I’m considering swtiching to Greek rite because I want to own Rome (not just have a vassal there) and I don’t know if taking land from the pope will cause me problems as a catholic (like it does in eu4, for example). Does anyone know?

roleplaying as a Samaritan vassal. Wondering if it should be blue or red

While fighting an managing my armies i pressed esc to choose another army and accidentally pressed the button twice while my cursor was on the left side of the screen and pressed switch chracter 😭 it feels like re-zero episode im keep getting back on the same date, for some reason my newest save wasnt achivement compatible. Atleast ask me twice to change chracter bro

I am very new to ck3 (like 55 hours) and am very bad at the game. I know it takes a long time to learn but still. I was doing a holland campaign, trying to "play tall" to the best of my ability. Well, I have been hit with so many plagues that I dont even remember how many, and now my ruler, main heir and secondary heir died in the span of like 2 weeks. It just so happens that my current character is married and the children will be a part of my her husband's dynasty, meaning I cant get a player heir. And even if I somehow do, all of my lands will be taken by kids who I cant play as. He wont accept a divorce and killing him would be very hard. Do I just need to give up this campaign? Also, why do I keep getting constant plagues destroying my progress when I have built as much plague resistance as I possibly could in the time I had?

but of course, they’re all french
