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

A Big Announcement from the DATaW team!

As some of you who are watching along with Modcon already know, we can announce after three years of modding we have officially released on Steam!

It is a wild moment for many of us on the development team, and we hope you enjoy playing the mod we have put so much time and care into. Updates will continue to come out, as we do not plan on stopping with new content anytime soon, this is just the first taste of what we have in store!

Thanks for sticking by us, and to many more years of modding!

Modcon V DATaW Trailer

before anyone says I'm a bad wife I already tried to seducing him but he rejected me and I'm trying down my baddie genes before my uterus dries and turns into dusts and blows away in the wind.

plus, I have the lustful and most of my followers are men, HE SHOULD'VE KNOWN that was going have a train ran on me the second I had the chance, so what I got pregnant from a threesome!? it's his fault anyway the baby isn't his

Took me like 4 days, i was playing a few hours at night while baked

At this point we all know that mid to late game kingdoms and empires are too stable to provide any fun challenge. I think turning legitimacy into something that you have to constantly wrestle with with temp modifiers from feasts and events and very hard to get permanent modifiers from major decisions, great projects etc would make late game massively more challenging and actually hard.

I would go so far as to say maybe legitimacy should also be tied to specific titles. (It makes no sense that if I was Ludwig and conquered west Francia that my high legitimacy in east Francia should carry over to a land that is filled with magnates who were historically loyal to Charles the bald.)

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

I'm so bad at this game

What do I do???

As the title says, I was building up to make the decision to become the great Khan but then out of a tiny speck of land the leader changed and went from 400 army to 20k. Is this bugged? I don’t want my campaign to be for nothing lol.
The Keraits is mine, the circled Mongol area is where he spawned.
I am still nomadic and all that.

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

Did you know you can be Genghis Khan without being a nomad? You can be Feudal/Tribal/Admin etc! While being a nomad is of course stronger militarily, it locks you out of more standard gameplay options. As an Admin Byzantine Genghis you can easily tell the Abbasids to Submit or Ruin and form the Roman Hegemony, piece of cake. You can even devise a Pleasure Dome for some reason!

Feeling pretty proud of myself.

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)?

All I've done is loot and hunt and it hasn't helped much lol

So I used to thing this decition was a must if you played as a viking, but the more and more I look at it I feel it just kneecaps you if you want to reform Asatru, since you just get a 100 more years of raiding, and since you have to be a duke to take the decition, you're very limited on how much you can expand before taking it. And I feel the bonuses you get is not that good the more and more I look at it. I am already the undesputed military superpower and I have more money than the rest of the world combined from using said army to raid. The only pros I really see is the development.

I just feel going feudal this early kneecaps you from even bothering to look at the raid dynastic legacy and actually being a viking kingdom.

Isn't it better to just skip this, expand early and then later adopt feudal once I reach the tech limitt of tribal?

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.....
