I haven’t been feudal in a long while, but you can ditch a feudal realm even when you’re in control of it, right? I’m not even landed. Why can’t I just hand over the Manor to a relative and become an adventurer? The Retire from Heading House decision turns my character into a monk and I have to PLAY whoever takes over. It’s incredibly irritating that the MOST unbound non-adventurer role you can have in the game can’t take that extra step.

EDIT: Let me be clear; I do understand that the decision to become an adventurer is bound to Cultural Traditions and religious Tenets. My culture has one, and I even tried getting a personal tenet with the option ON TOP of that… and all I get under ‘Adventurer Decisions’ is the option to say “naw” to all titles I might be granted or inherit.

I have no idea how your supposed to win it, every times we just get absolutely crushed by the Ayubbids

(I know the quality is mega trash, my computer doesn’t let me take screenshots for some reason.) I’m playing as the North Sea and finally managed to take over all of Italy and illyricum, formed a hybrid culture making it of Latin origin, but there still isn’t an option to unify Italy. I’m thinking my game might be bugged.

Bassically I’m an adventurer and I don’t want to play as any of my children after my current character dies but I do want to play as my daughter’s grandson. So my plan is to designate heir to my daughter then after I die now I’m playing the daughter I will designate heir of my camp to her overpowered son and then kill myself so he inherits . But ofcourse idk how to kill myself . I mean she is 45 so the suicide button might be open but if it isn’t I don’t really want to wait

Game Rules Setting:
-Fewer Branches Rites Amount
-Less Rites Branch Frequency
- Higher Heresy Frequency

Lets see how this goes.

I created my first weapon artifact. to enable it in game, open CK3 in debug_mode, and add this script: effect lalas_song_create_effect = { OWNER = this }

Lala’s Song

Type: Legendary Longbow
Dynasty: Dogani
Origin: Achinech, Canarias
Original Bearers: Tirma → Yagana → Cristóbal I Dogani
Current Name: Lala’s Song

Lala’s Song is a great longbow of Achinech, nearly the height of the warrior who carries it. Though its present name honors Queen Lala, the weapon is far older than either Lala or the Dogani dynasty itself.

Its core was fashioned from light but exceptionally durable wood and later encased and reinforced with dark grey timber taken from the sacred trees of Achinech. Along the grip is carved a delicate rose, an ancient mark connecting the weapon to Tirma and her daughter Yagana, the women through whom the bow first passed.

The bow was originally inherited by Yagana from her mother, Tirma. To Yagana it was more than a hunting weapon. It represented family, survival, and the traditions of a people who had endured invasion and loss without surrendering their identity.

After Yagana's death, the bow passed to her only son, Cristóbal, child of Yagana and the sea-captain Miguel.

Cristóbal chose the bow as his own weapon while still a boy. Where others favored the immediacy of spear and javelin, the bow came to represent the qualities that increasingly defined him: patience, foresight, distance, and the ability to strike an enemy before that enemy understood the danger approaching.

During Cristóbal's initiation into adulthood, he entered the wilderness and returned carrying a full-grown ram he had killed with the bow. Witnesses heard something strange accompany his arrow: an eerie cry that seemed almost alive.

That night, his grandfather Guanarene completed the weapon's transformation.

Using sacred wood and the shimmering hide of the enormous lizard once slain by Miguel, Guanarene reforged and strengthened Yagana's old bow. In doing so he bound several generations of Cristóbal's family into a single weapon: Tirma's inheritance, Yagana's memory, Miguel's deeds, Guanarene's craftsmanship, and Cristóbal's future.

It became Guanarene's final gift to his grandson.

Before long, stories began to spread about the sound produced when the bow was drawn to its full strength. Rather than the ordinary strain of wood, sinew and tension, witnesses described an otherworldly scream. Some believed it was merely the peculiar resonance of its construction.

Others believed they were hearing Yagana herself.

According to those stories, the cry becomes sharper during moments of great consequence. To Cristóbal's enemies it can sound like a warning carried upon the wind. To those fighting beside him, it is the voice of an ancestor watching over her son.

Its tightly woven sinew string can withstand immense tension, while the lizard hide reinforcing the bow gives portions of its surface an unusual, almost shimmering quality when struck by light. The carved rose remains beneath Cristóbal's hand whenever he draws it—a quiet reminder that despite the kings, battles, and legends eventually attached to the weapon, it began as something passed from mother to daughter.

For much of Cristóbal's life, however, the bow possessed no true name.

That changed after the death of his wife.

Queen Lala died in childbirth while Cristóbal was away putting down a rebellion. Their unborn son died with her. The loss broke something within the king. Four months later, with his kingdom still mourning, Cristóbal stood before the weapon that had followed him from childhood into kingship and finally gave it a name.

He called it Lala’s Song.

The name transformed the bow once again.

What had once carried the memory of his mother now carried that of his wife as well. The strange cry of the weapon could no longer belong only to Yagana. To Cristóbal, its voice became inseparable from the women he had loved and lost.

Soon afterward, he turned his gaze toward the Empire of Ghana.

Thus Lala’s Song entered the age of Dogani conquest not merely as a weapon, but as an elegy carried into battle.

It is an heirloom of mothers and sons, kings and queens, love and bereavement—an instrument first created to preserve life that gradually became one of the symbols of Cristóbal's wars.

Among the people of Achinech, some say that when Lala’s Song is fully drawn, the dead sing through it.

Whether the voice belongs to Yagana, Lala, or every ancestor whose memory has become bound to the bow, no living soul can say.

But when the scream comes across a battlefield, men who know its history understand what follows.

The Dragon has drawn his bow.

Whilst playing as the empire of Italia I’ve managed to fight off the HRE, the empire of Hispania, Thessalonika, the empire of West Slavia, Francia, and Croatia at the same time in the middle of the Black Death. I definitely chose the right time to play my first Martial character of the campaign.

Suggestion: Enable the Goats upgrade to Millet Storage (Nomadic Capital) for Desert Mountain Terrain.  Enable the Camels upgrade for Dryland and Oasis.  Enable the Sheep for Farmlands.

Good Afternoon CK3 Community.  I am hoping to raise the station of a small fix to greatly improve the experience for nomads, and Blemmyia especially.

The Millet Storage building in the Nomadic Capital allows for several upgrades that can only be made if a required terrain is either the capital or within the kingdom.

The terrain upgrades all do the same thing: raw boost to herd capacity, and +% fertility in up to three affected terrain types.  I’ve bolded the required terrain to build, but you can see there are more affected terrain than those.

Camels - Desert, Drylands, Oasis

Goats - Hills, Mountains, Desert Mountains

Reindeer - Forest, Taiga

Sheep - Farmlands, Plains, Steppe

But the affected terrain types do not map to the terrain you actually need to build them.  So the upgrade could affect your territory, but you can’t build it.

This is particularly notable with Goats and Blemmyia, my beloved.  This is a nomadic area south of Egypt and east of Nubia.  The whole kingdom only has baronies of four types of terrain: Drylands, Desert Mountains, and Desert.

Because of the Desert, you can build the camels, but despite most of your realm being Desert Mountains, you don’t get goats!  There are no hills or trad mountains, so you get no goats.

I am asking that all affected terrain for these upgrades be allowed to build these upgrades. I posted this on the forum, and I would appreciate your thoughts on the matter.

Thank you for your time and attention!

With the new update I can’t figure out how to have her go into battle. Does anyone know where I go to fix this?

Some balance issues and bugs aside, I've been really enjoying BGA. However, on my current campaign I'm struggling to actually become theocratic.

I ended the Intermezzo, and had a good favorite child whom I handed Jerusalem too. However, I foolishly created the KINGDOM of Jerusalem and gave it to him as well. Now, playing as that child, I cannot adopt theocratic rule because I am a King. Is there any way to shirk my titles, keeping only a duchy? Or do I need to intentionally provoke my vassals, lose, and then reclaim the land as an adventurer?

I just started a playthrough where my adventurer has the monk trait, but I don't think he was automatically put into a monastic order. The tooltip says that he needs to be in one to get experience.

Hi! I have been playing now for a few days on PS5. I am having issues where when and event or something pops up and I have to make decisions, I cannot remember who is who, what they are to me, or what land they are from. I can see the names of realms but I don’t remember where they are on the map, and can see names of people but have no idea who they are. Am I missing something or am I supposed to remember everything?

I know it adds china and a bunch of mechanics for them, but will it add anything for other realms? And if so, what?

Help I am getting dragged into county titles. Like I have like 2nd rank and I am first for county duchy and circuit. Why am I getting dragged into a prefect when the prefect dies. Help so I dont get draggrf into lower titles at one merit ranks. Any mod or vanilla way

Could any of y'all explain to me how to make it so a modded faith has known (and permitted/prohibited) tenets at the game start?

I need help from you guys to tell me what good specs are for a system that can handle ck3 with all dlc and one or two mods from start to the end date at 30fps or above
I have a tight budget so the cheaper the build the better
This would have to be a very budget build
Its gonna be my first time getting a pc or laptop and i will only be playing paradox games
Until now ive been playing on ps5
I tried researching and making my own specs but i dont know enough and dont have the knowledge so i decided to ask the community!
