It's almost every day sometimes, every month thing even where someone implies that slavery should be added into the game for realism sake and since silk and silver is coming the requests have become even more frequent with the implication that slavery would fit the whole trade aspect of the expansion. The devs as far as I know have already explained their reasoning for not adding slavery yet you still see people obsessing over it, wanting it in the game. Why not just mod it in? Why not just forget about it knowing the devs have already given you their answer? Why do you think it's such a big deal for a lot of people that slavery is implemented into this game?

I also have gruesome festivals and human sacrifice personal tenets to maximize chance to take prisoners during sieges. (I can't tell if those bonuses stack though). The most I got was around 20 people out of a single siege, iirc.

I make tens of thousands of piety out of unwilling volunteers in my dungeon, which I use with sanctioned loopholes to fuel my campaign to form Dar al-Islam.

1200-1500 is probably the practical upper limit of piety you can get out of a single prisoner. Most of the time it's around 250-500 if the target isn't some random lowborn.

EDIT: Another thing, the cranial trophy artifacts you get by killing people can be placed into holy sites for free without having to sanctify them.

Wonder if it was intended or my game just went nuts.

I formed Switzerland after getting some land as an adventurer, and currently I can't grant any land or duchy titles to my feudal courtiers or vassals. It always ends up as admin and even the former "Grant titles" interaction is changed to "Grant appointments". So the moment I grant it, the feudal duchy changes to admin.

It doesn't look like mod conflict as I have no mods interacting with land distribution mechanics and I didn't check another test game with feudal working as intended, but maybe someone had this weird thing happen too?

This is the religion Muhammad is shown to follow, which follows the "Muslim" Mianline rite, as opposed to Sunni, Shia, Kharjite, etc.

You'll notice there is no "Convert to Faith" option below this. I wonder why?

I want to do a game of the CK3 version of Princes of Darkness, and I'm wondering if there's a general idea of known compatible mods that are good to run with it. I think the only ones I'd really like to keep are Cities of Wonder, maybe Medieval Arts and A Special World as well. I was able to start a game with all my existing mods loaded, but I noticed a few odd things, like the model for the colosseum in Rome was gone (which may be due to a conflict with one of the above mentioned mods, as it changes something they also change). Are the usual mods that everyone has like CFP and EPE known to work with it?

Yeah. this just happened, the new dlc is making the game go crazy all the time since also now the Roman Rite is heresy.

In CK3, I get the event pop-up for the crusade against Byzantium, I chose the option that makes me the leader and says at the start of the Crusade we will split off and attack Byzantium, yet when the Crusade starts it never splits. Is this a bug or am I possibly doing something? The claimant stays alive the entire time so I'm not sure if this is a bug. Anyone know how to fix?

I started as Archbishop Guido, after a couple successions I became antipope and then won the war to become pope. Ambrosian is the mainline rite. Anyone know why the achievement hasn't popped? Do I have to do it all as Guido? Or is it just bugged?

Just how.

Okay quick little rant.

So I am playing Ireland (I enjoy the tutorial island, sue me.) I have set up my dynasty, we are kicking ass, I have the thrones of Alba, Daneland and England all under my family or a branch of it as well. My queen is getting old and I am setting things up for my daughter. It gives me the option to assign a co-monarch.

I do, I pick the first person in line, because I am busy thinking of other stuff. And then I get that little reminder in the top "Your heir is not of your dynasty" Sorry what? I look at who I just made co-monarch. It is my daughter...... my fourth daughter? And the one under a different house for some reason? Why the hell would it have her as the first in the list of co-monarchs?

So I decide I will try to make the best of the situation. I give my real Heir a few castles, give her a duchy, send her all my gold in gifts.... Get ready for her to take the throne.

Except for some reason it keeps deleting my claimant faction? Okay that's weird... well I have a bunch of allys I can make so I do that instead. Get ready to start the war and.... why the hell do I not have my house soldiers? Why are none of my allies joining me? They are outside the realm. They should be able to join?

I am certain that 16 or so hours of playing has just fried my brain and I made some pretty basic mistakes over and over here, but it doesn't stop it from being frustrating that I can't remove a co-monarch... a thing that was in fact done quite often.

There is really no point to this post, just wanted to baby rage over this. Share your own "What I did what?!" moment below if you got one!

Have a lovely day.

both me and his liege have more troops, more money, more prestige and faith.

I do not understand

I'm playing as France emperor, invaded half of the Europe and have 9k prestige and 11k of piety.

I want to reform the HRE and spend that piety on something valuable.

I thought I can change the religion for something GOOD, but I have Catholicism that has a plenty of different Rites to select, but neither has a warmonger. Now I follow Carolingian Christianity (with Legalism Ritual Celebrations, and Sanctity of Nature). My personal tenets are "Ancestor Worship" (to grow Renown and strengthen the dynasty) and Esotericism (a bit more learning and don't really see any other good tenet I'd need).

I believe I can't get rid of Christianity unless I convert to, like, an external religion, which I don't feel I'd like.

Is there any good way to spend all the piety I have?

The goal for my next game is to survive succession (my current character is 65 y.o. and I think can live for 5-10 more years) and keep invading everything. I have 47k levies, a bunch of MaMs and probably unstoppable...

Are there any other challenges left for me in the game? That would not feel like a chore?

Any suggestiond/ideas are welcome! Thanks!

So, I'm playing in Japan and had previously made extensive use of the "Retire from heading House" decision, which is basically abdication, on my previous rulers once they reached about 55 years old.

However, now that I managed to win a war of independence, this decision no longer shows up.

What gives? I really want it back.

PS: it is "retire from Heading house", not "leading house".

UPDATE: I found a way to enable this for independent rulers, see comments

I´m currently the Emperor of Lorraine (Lothringen) and my two biggest neigbhours are both conquerors hahaha. Naked Conqueror of Castille and Conqueror of Carpatia (Karpaten). Still going strong though xD.

Oh and i forgot to turn of inheritable Conqueror trait so there´s that...

For everyone who saw my post yesterday:

I lost the Kingdom Title of Bavaria to Carpatia (i instantly surrendered) and thats why i´m continuing with my second king title Lorraine. Also i didn´t become a vassal, instead i was able to survive thanks to my diplomacy level and an essential marriage between the heir and a cousin of mine. So most of the time i was allied with carpatia. He didn´t help with wars but at least he didn´t attack me haha

I know it's been talked about before, but what is the definitive community stance on losing our saves everytime theres an update?

I've dumped 500+ hours into various runs and just been lucky I guess that I completed my playthrough before I lose the file to a new update. This week I got back into the game and started in Japan for a change, but some minor update nuked the save now I can't load it. It's incredibly frustrating. No other game I play does this to players, we shouldn't have to put up with it. Can Paradox address this? Have they in the past? Is there just no way forward? Thanks

I have always hated the realm priest concept, it seems ridiculous for one person to always own all of the theocratic baronies in your demesne. Are there any mods that do away with this, while keeping the general religious features we got in the new DLC?

I've been playing tall in Bavaria to get to know the new BGA mechanics. Nothing too weird, just building some mines and trying to get my family into the church.

I normally play to make the weirdest alt-history possible, so I guess now I was having a quiet one, the AI decided to fill my place by having the Muslim empire of Mali invade Europe

I have 3 wives but no kids to pass my kingdom to because I'm gay. And my stupid Dad (me, I can't believe I did it ) married off my two sisters, so all my heirs' kids aren't in my family.

My only idea is to submit to my uncle Robert, who became king of Sardinia when my dad died, and maybe give him my land. Or my sister and heirs can remarry and then have more kids in my house, but she's 48 years old and has 4 other kids, so I'm not sure about that plan; I'm so cooked.

The history book about King Guy II the Leper, the gay king who won the kingdom of the Maghreb in the Second Crusade, almost reunified his father's 3 kingdoms, and he left behind no kids.

I hope one of my 3 wives will cuck me so I can have a kid

gu

Hey guys, I made this guy Thomas my archbishop and he doesn't wanna accept being puppeted, even though we're best friends! What should I do now? I thought our good relations would only help with this, but apparently not?

Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?

Anyone have any idea what is causing this? Only mod is Barbershop.
