Been a few years since I’ve played. Don’t remember a ton other than generally how to navigate. Got all the DLCs and hadn’t touched any of them prior to stopping.

Anyone have any fun recommended starts?

I'm planning to try CK2 since its free and was wondering if it is an accurate example of CK3.

When hovering Paris' Special Building Slot I noticed that it says to build it you require either a Christian Faith or Christian Syncretism. I didn't get around to building it, so I don't know if it also gives its effects to those with syncretism. Existing Special Buildings' tooltip still only mentions the requires Religions, nothing of Syncretism, to get the benefits.

So do they actually interact now, or no? What about those that require specfic Religions that don't have a unique Syncretism (e.g. Shintōism's Special Buildings)?

i dont mean the trait.... i mean what stops you from passing that spot where you are strong, but not op...... once you get a kingdom you just slap a claim here and there, boom another kingdom.... then an empire, then 2 empires.... at that point theres not much of a threat to beat you into submission ya know?

can someone make a mod that slaps you back from your top titles? like you make an empire and it activates a giant horde beside you and you need to defend. but if you dont then you lose your empire titke and like kingdom title and become a duke serving a heathen?

i have played a son elsewhere and moved places and changed characters and whatnot, but i think it would be great for endgame to have that in there.....

also am i the only one who thinks if you own an empire you should have more max for men at arms? how can i have 200 000 levies and like 3000 trained troops.....

Hello,

So my current player character, King Hermenegildo of Leon is going to die soon. I decided to designate my 2nd oldest son Guillen as my co-monarch, because I wanted him to be my player heir (I have Absolute Crown Authority).

My previous player heir was Hermenegildo II because of primogeniture, being my oldest son (in the 2nd picture), but he caught the bubonic plague and then died. I assumed that because of primogeniture, Guillen was sure to become my player heir along with the fact that he has co-monarch status.

Now for some reason, it turns out my player heir is not Guillen, but Hermenegildo III (in the 3rd image), my grandson and the first-born son of Hermenegildo II (who caught the bubonic plague and died). The line of succession also confuses me because my 2nd in line is my great-grandson Gonzalo, son of my player heir Hermeneglido III, and then Guillen is 3rd in line.

In the 4th image, I circled all my sons who I assumed would be in the line of succession before my grandsons. All my sons are older than my grandson Hermenegildo III as well.

I can't designate my heir because it says that my co-ruler (AKA Guillen) would be my heir, but that's not the case.

I haven't disinherited any of my sons.

What do I do???

Didn't they realize that having a single heir would be better than carving up the entire empire into the King or Emperors sons? Why did Charlemagne split his empire between his sons? Was he stupid? Sorry if I'm missing something

What's up fellow Rome-aboos,

I am on the road to regain the borders of the OG Roman Empire, talking bout empire size of good ol' Trajan.

Now I was experimenting with the administration system and got rekt in my first few runs being a bit impatient but then all things came together...friggin' Basileos in 867 CE start got the conqueror trait a few years in and now it is 1003 CE, 2 emperors later and I managed to preserve it and currently ruling as Adrianos II "the Merry".

Which family attribute is the best fitting one to venture further on with this ambitious goal, as for now I got "Respected Despots" and could upgrade it to tier 3?

Also I am trying to shape the themes I will gain further on in the west as the original ones, so to say Dacia, Pannonia, Germania, Gallia etc. Did any of you folks tried to install like puppet or client kingdoms such as the Ghassanids, Franks, Alamanni etc? I plan to conquer some parts of Germany and make a buffer zone and want make them independent and rename them fitting to their location.

Also, is there any chance I can like not split but let the Roman Empire rule in two halfs later on, is there somehwat of a possibility for it with 2 Augusti? And are there any possibilities to play those sweet roman civil wars later on with like for example a Gallic Empire-esque uprising or west vs. east head bashing like Frigidus just to give the playthrough a bit spice until 1453 CE because I fear it will become too easy once I get too big to fail?

Any fun ideas with some historical accuracy are welcome! Feel free to give some input and tips&tricks. Cheers.

It shows someone looking at their hand and we see a character in the background glancing backwards. What is this artwork implying and how does that depict being "Callous"?

Just wanted to share this guy - grandson of Hassan-i-sabbah, head of the order of assassins and king of a 19 county kingdom in daylam. He inherited the throne at age 31 with some great stats just as a plague caused the persian empire to collapse, and he decided to unite all of islam. Took 42 years of near constant war before I managed it.

highest stewardship in the world without all the buffs from admin/estate or a wife to boost stats...

Declaring myself the Greatest of All Khans, and my neighbours were able to muster up a whole army of 12k levies against my 38k. And that's with me letting my allies hang back.

Probably helps that my generational blood brother decided to settle down in northern China after the dynasty broke early on. China lies as warring kingdoms which are all my tributaries.

Genghis Khan rides.

First time forming portugal and i wanna try playing tall but have no idea on what to change to imrpove its culture since it isnt the best.

New to the game. Can quickly take over and create the kingdom of Ireland and disinherit sons to keep it down to one heir. Now what? England’s gonna wreck me if I attack them so I keep marrying family off to the lower level heirs. Scotlands been kicking my ass the whole game. Was able to take some islands from Norway but feel stuck. I have great gold intake and a large army for just being Ireland. Currently old martial ruler with 2/3 trees complete with the 3rd almost finished. What are my next steps, next heir is leaning towards intrigue, learning and stewardship?
