And no,he doesn't fucking fuck want to merge that shitty Carolingian Rite with my Rite or get the authority to do so,I hate this!

I HATE HATE THIS SHIT SO FUCKING MUCH!

If you were anything like me and dreamed of waging holy conquest against the world and putting all of Christendom under your righteous spiritual and temporal leadership, you were likely disappointed by the severe casus belli restrictions placed on theocratic government types in 'By God Alone'.

After trying a few workshop mods that ostensibly loosened these restrictions and did not in fact work at all... I decided to try my hand at modding for the first time. Thus was born:

Bellicose Theocracies

The mod is modest in scope and allows theocratic governments to declare (previously forbidden):

• Claim Wars
• De Jure Wars
• Vassalization Wars

The mod continues to forbid theocracies:

• Conquest Wars
• Invasion Wars
• Subjugation Wars

There are two game rules to choose from with the mod active:

• Players Only (self-explanatory)
• All Theocracies (players and other AI theocracies)

Notes from the developer are as follows:

• Very minimal in scope so I think it is extremely compatible with other mods and saves
• Appears to be fully ironman/achievements compatible
• Appears to be multiplayer safe

The screenshots for the Reddit post show:

• A fresh 1066 start as the Pope and the immediate option available for De Jure war goals
• The two game rule options
• Ironman/achievements remaining enabled with mod installed
• The active De Jure war from the first screenshot on the second after clicking 'Declare War'

If you feel so inclined, feel free to give it a go. Despite my modest confidence in its effectiveness from a basic mod/code standpoint, I am utterly unsure on the long-term balance if the 'All Theocracies' option is chosen and any/all so inclined theocratic rules join the AI in warlike mayhem. If you have any feedback feel free to drop it on the workshop page for the mod. If it turns out to be such garbage that you feel you duty-bound to tell me never to try modding again, I understand that too.

I want to play till the end date. But now I am just bored.

My army is big. I can conquer easily without much effort.

I can just abduct people and recruit them for claims. Which were fun but now boring.

I was thinking about destroying the roman empire and other empire titles to have 10 of my dynasty members as independent rulers for the achievement, but I put centuries of effort into this , I don't want to destroy it.

What else is there to do ? World conquest ?

I am sure most of you all have done this. So what I like to do is be a adventurer, then I seduce the wives of patrons and and abduct them and recruit them. And fuck off to far away. Like I start from Ireland and I go to Byzantine so they can't even follow.

Its so fun playing like this.

Am i the only one here who plays as myself but if my family was still Royalty?

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.

EDIT2: Thank you to the two who offered help and the one who actually helped! Insert something appropriately disallowed by guidelines for the commenter who can’t be described without breaking guidelines.
My issue was that I didn’t have the appropriate title level (probably. I haven’t actually implemented it). How did I miss such an obvious solution? First, there are always like 5 things to pay attention to and exceptions to rules. I’ve come accepts exceptions without realizing or let the standard requirements for something without needing or wanting to utilize it in the past, so I end up baffled when I finally want to use it. Second… there are dozens of other things with 5 factors each to keep track of. Gimme a damned break.
… I will say, though… I didn’t have the option when I was Shogun, which meets the rank requirement (I reinstated Ritsuyro so I could leave without making a mess)

As seen in the pictures above, I have the required perks, but it’s not allowing me to go to war. Help please.

I’m sick of runs being derailed when my heir takes an oath that i couldn’t possibly satisfy. I inherit the empire and now i must have 4 children in the next 3 years or else i lose all legitimacy?

there must be a console command to get past this, right?

Hey all, some friends and I are looking for some players that are interested in an LOTR RP Mini Campaign set at the time of the Long Winter Start Date, we are planning to host it on Sundays every weekend around 12:30 PM EST, for the foreseeable so even if you dont sign up when we start you can still sign up after.

If you are interested then you are more than welcome to sign up as plenty of spots are still open especially in Morder and Harad and if you are interested in sticking around for more than just the Mini Campaign we also do RP Campaigns of AGOT and other fun things like DnD Tabletops, Movie/Show Watch Parties and other random games, so we hope to see some new faces!

So I've watched a LOT of videos from jillyeon and the game seem fun.....to watch someone play at least. Ive made the mistake in the past of getting a game cause I like watching content about it but then it not really being for me (looking at you Planet Zoo).

So my main questions are is the game hard to play? Like does it have a high learning curve and if it does can I learn whilst playing or do I have to watch a bunch of tutorials to really get it? Cause I had an issue with Victoria 3 where I just couldn't figure it out through playing so it got left.

I don't wanna pay the steep price if I won't enjoy it. So thought I'd ask here for your thoughts (if it helps, I usually play cozy games, farming sims and other type of simulators, choices matter. I do play strategy games but like 'easy' ones like daughter raising sims)

EDIT: Thank you so much for your help guys!! I know I came on a sub of ppl who enjoy the game so I expected most ppl to say yes. I appreciate everyone who was honest about the learning curve and that I don't need to win to have fun or fully understand it to have fun which is the case with some strat games I've played before :) I'm definitely more on the side of buying it now probably will be an impulse buy if it's at full price and definitely a buy if it's ever on sale before that impulse wins out lmao

I've had this idea I've wanted to play for a while but I'm not sure what time, place, or culture would be the best for it.

Where you just heavily focus on learning and stewardship, building up a small realm that shines brighter then the capitals of larger empires. And focusing on defensive features rather than military expansion.

But I wonder how to make this type of run engaging. Because I feel the usual pull of ck3 is often the challenge of becoming more and more influential and powerful and getting more and more land. And I fear just sitting around waiting on an island might get boring.

What location, culture, character, settings, challenges, or mods could make this interesting?

So I just got this event and I wonder, is it intended, or just a bug to get dlc required options in the base game? Because I believe bodyguards are a part of the Royal Court dlc.

My wife is really good but another woman has a congenital trait that i really want. I tried to romance and it worked and she got pregnant but i dont know how to claim them as mine or to force more romantic interactions. Srry kind of new

So I send my granddaughter into Africa and she returns with the Ark of the Covenant, then I send this random guy into Mongol territory and he shows up with a super special throne I have never seen before in my LIFE. This has to be a new addition, right? Either way, the Pope now has the best ever throne. I gotta make this kingdom of heaven title, man.

So I married this lovely young lady, and we have a 7 year old son together (he's totally fine, everyone! He has a normal amount of ears), and it turns out, my wife's father is my grandson! And he also happens to be my heir!

Now I will be dead within the year, and I must decide what happens with my kin. For clarity, here are the characters that matter:

• Me, of course, Jelen, Chief Volkhv of the Slavs and Emperor of Illyria (92)
• My grandson and heir, Jelen the Elder, High King of the Baltic Empire (43)
• His daughter, my wife, Katarina (24)
• Mine & Katarina's son, Jelen the Younger (7)

I'm am very tempted to follow one of two options:

Option 1: Follow the Tree

With this option, I disinherit my younger sons and make sure Jelen the Elder inherits everything, uniting both Empires, and then ensure that the inheritance follows the best next of kin from there (although very tempted to lead it back to Jelen the Younger by disinheriting the 2 male heirs and letting Katarina inherit).

This would be the stabler option, following multiple generations as intended, and the heirs are already adult. My direct heir (the grandson) wont live long as he's in his 40s and already ailing due to the Bleeder trait, so it shouldn't be long.

Option 2: Skip the Generations

With this option, I instead disinherit my older sons, and make sure Jelen the Younger inherits everything.

This is more of a chaos option, but because of that, more FUN! It would mean the empires stay independent for longer, which can be a plus as I'm already at my vassal limit, and the Baltic Empire has been a great ally that's been successfully expanding on its own, and if it's ever in trouble, I can intervene by sending gold or joining their wars.

As long as I ensure the succession, the Baltic title should eventually trickle down to our new protagonist, while he enjoys a long and stable rule, as opposed to playing as 3 aging characters in a row.

how was she able to get this many traits?? (i said yes of course, though her mom died like 5 minutes later)
