so while waiting for my hot pre-teen wife to come of age (16), i checked her stats and saw that her previously attractive portrait face was all fucked up, black eye and a big cut over other eye. profile says she is wounded but will recover

i go WTF, start trying ot figure out wtf happened (i have no idea how to play this game). court intrigue? raep? am i gonna have to regulate?

then i see that she has a trait called "self -flagellation" where she needs to hurt herself to feel good. lmao. i married a package of crazy. at least she was cute and later on gave me 2 kids. kinda shitty at helping running the kingdom but whatever

Man this game is so 180. Played the tutorial but I actually got so into the game that I just kept on with the ireland tutorial dynasty to see how it plays out.

My original ruler died very early on because he was wounded in the first battle to take the south territory. I had made a dude I captured from that territory my court physician to min-max a bit because he had high stats. Well I get sick while I'm wounded, the dude asks me how to treat me, I say let's keep it conservative. Motherfucker slices a toad open and leaves it on my chest. Days later I'm dead. Almost certain I was murdered rather than dying of my own sickness. Fucking PWNED literally less than an hour after the tutorial took the training wheels off.

Next ruler up, I'm really struggling getting a male heir with him but pump out a few dotters. I plan to just try to manipulate the election to give her everything (I took up tanistry) but she completely fucks me over. I marry her off to this nice genius dude to get his traits in my dynasty. Well she CUCKS him with the gross old priest who was her "guardian" as a child and one of my good friends. I don't jail her for this because I need heirs, but that makes me lose a lot of standing with the church.

Her genius husband died so I marry her to some asshole who would be a good spymaster so that maybe his abuse will keep her in line. She CUCKS him with one of my knights, and he comes to me begging me to throw her in jail. I say no because I figure it's one of his schemes, and take the big hit with the church again. There's no saving her because he then jails and executes my dotter, so I jail and execute him.

They had a 1 y/o son when this happened so I decide to make preliminary plans to make him my heir, give him a few titles, a good education, and get hooks on my vassals to force their votes. The kid grows up sort of averageish though, and when he's like 8 I see an attractive genius baby pop up on my family tree, one of the great grandkids that resulted from my whore daughter's first marriage to the genius. I decide that he will be my heir, which is risky because he's 2 years old and I'm already in my 60s.

Set that lil nigga up by personally giving him direct titles to some holdings while I'm still alive, manipulate election in his favor (which is hard and takes lots of work from my spymaster getting secrets on people), and I actually do succeed in getting the dude as my heir and he takes over as king. However some of my titles went to that other potential heir becaise they didn't pass through elective succession, which in addition to the stuff I gave him, made him sort of a force.

As the babbydude, that guy constantly bullied me as I was growing up, raising my stress level and turning me into an autistic asshole. Since I was too young to plot, I just had to take it. But my autistic little sociopath had high stats and was a ward of the spymaster, so I just waited, biding my time. When I turned 16 and came of age, my intrigue stat was already at 24. It was time to commit my first murder.

So yeah, this game is completely 180. It's fucking insane that they have an engine where all of that happens sandbox-style but in a way that makes so much sense based on the characters. Like it was awesome that my bully wasn't just some random vassal's kid, but rather my biggest young rival for the realm. And marrying my whore dotter to a conniving asshole got her jailed and killed in a way the guy likely thought would advance his own standing. It's like he was just waiting to jail and kill her until I gave him some titles.

Now let me tell you about my wife man.

I married this chick with the "genius" trait and very high in intrigue and warfare. A straight up psycho with the "torturer" perk. We basically had a Ramsay Snow/Hound master's daughter thing going on. She gave me a massive intrigue boost that let me murder people almost at will. Somehow I knew from the very start that this would end with us trying to murder each other.

At this point, further expansion was going to be very difficult. Norway and England were under a single ruler and massively more powerful than me. Making inroads in Scotland was a possibility, although even with the whole thing, I'd be smaller than just the slab of England in my immediate vicinity. Overtly, I start fighting Scotland and slowly chipping away at their territory.

Covertly, the war against England/Norway begins. I start kidnapping and/or murdering potential heirs left and right and seducing and banging all of the king's princess dotters and having secret bastard-children with them. Eventually, I make an attempt on this very powerful king's life. Even though it has an 85% chance, this dude somehow survives. He is on high alert but I say fuck it and continue the scheme. He starts ferreting out and jailing my agents and I have to sink a lot of money into bribing new ones to the cause. A year later, another attempt occurs at 80% and the motherfucker still lives.

More agents get jailed but I am all-in on this and continue the scheme, which is now at a substantial risk of being traced back to me. I bribe even more people to make the scheme viable again because so many agents were jailed that the chance dropped below 20%. At the end of the third year, I give it another shot at 45%, having emptied my treasury to bring in basically anyone willing to join. The motherfucker siezes up from his poisoned food but curses me with his dying breath, finally getting me branded a murderer. Alpha to the end, I really ended up with a grudging respect for the dude.

His kingdom ends up in disarray, with Norway and England going to seperate rulers. A faction rebels against England's new ruler. I matrilineally (meaning the kids will be of my house) betrothe my bastard dotter to a random kid of the leader of this rebel faction. Unfortunately this only became possible because my retarded whore English princess lover somehow got our affair exposed so there was no reason not to acknowledge and take the kid.

My murderous wife is not at all amused by me banging these princesses and things just go to shit with her (although she is pumping out male heirs with good traits at a high rate). I try to fix things first by seducing her and we end up playing these silly games where I plant fake clues about my seduction scheme for her own spies to find so she'll feel flattered. It eventually fails and she hates me even more. Then I start trying to just use "sway" on her to apologize but the attempts fail. Eventually bad omens start occurring against me (like what happened to the English king during our three year murder scheme) and I realize someone is making an attempt on my life.

My spymaster catches my wife in the attempted murder, and I have her jailed. I don't know if it was really her twisted way of flirting and trying to reconcile, but her intrigue is too high, she's too dangerous, and she came too close, so I have her jailed. And not only that, I decide to experiment with torture for the first time and decide I have a taste for it. My torturer wife becomes the tortured. She dies in my dungeons. My naive children hate daddy for being mean to mommy.

Now, as for England, the subturfuge continued all this time. Eventually my murders see the leader of the rebel faction I am allied with placed on the throne, although it's definitely harder to continue the killing spree without my wife's aid. I should be pleased with the new leader, but then I notice something--next in line for the throne is the child that I betrothed my bastard dotter to, matrilineally. What's one more murder, even if it's an ally? I have the rebel-turned-queen killed and my son in law takes the throne. His children will be of my dynasty. An entire kingdom taken without a war. All I need to do is make sure he holds the throne long enough for that to happen, and that his children rather than his brothers succeed to the throne. It would be so very unfortunate if his brothers aren't around to see their nephew come of age.

The marriage game is a huge facet of the game you're ignoring. Also, in an elective or similar legal regime ya you need to constantly have an understanding and awareness of the eligible males in your dynasty.

And you can almost always be plotting to at least improve your holdings or eliminate rival claimants or something that can at least marginally improve your position.

If you're bored you can always take a look at who you could marry if your wife had an accident.

If schemes are failing, your character may not be cut out for them. You want a high intrigue stat and a spymaster with a high intrigue stat. Set spymaster focus to assisting schemes in the counsel panel. A wife with a high stat can also help a lot. For really tough targets, have your spymaster chill in their court for a while looking for secrets, then blackmail the characters to get hooks on them. Those hooks can help you recruit people in the target's court to act as agents against him. You can also bribe agents if they're borderline on helping.

For marriage, use the FILTERS to cull your list of potential wives. Did not realize you could do this but it's a game-changer. If you want a strong bloodline to pump out heirs, search only for wives with inherited traits and try to marry a "genius" chick, an "amazonian" chick, etc. Her standing is not important, you want those traits in your babbydudes. Or if you're about to make major powerplays, get a wife very high in your main stat and use her to pump it even further to the stratosphere. Or marry your less important kids off for alliances (not caring so much about inherited traits/bloodlines), or even just to bring a high stat character to your court to use as a council member. Lots of marriage strata.

It's all about what you and your empire need man. There's no right answer.

Generally though, I would focus on domestic issues before foreign. If you have a vassal that hates you, he needs to either get swayed or die. If your priest isn't supporting you, again, sway him or murder him. Once you have your own house in order, you can start looking outside. Focus on potential expansion targets and your biggest threats and rivals. If you can easily take something militarily, you may not want to waste your schemes on it.

If someone is too strong for you to fight directly, schemes may be the only way to even the odds. Pay attention to their titles and succession. If their top title is a "kingdom" for example, there is a huge difference in power between what is basically a puppet who has the title of "king" but doesn't directly hold title to many counties, and a king who has really consolidated his power with a lot of county titles in addition to the king title. There will be a big difference in his military based on whether he directly owns counties, or whether his vassals own them. So if you do a lot of killing and the titles get split up, basically creating a weak king (because his vassals own all of the good stuff), it's much easier to invade and carve up that realm, especially if he isn't allied with his vassals (they won't help the king with their main force if you attack--the king only gets a small contribution to his force from their levies, which is a small fraction of the forces the king would have from directly owning the vassal counties).

I've only played military and intrigue rulers but I think all would be viable for different reasons. Intrigue does seem pretty OP but keep in mind that me and my wife each individually had basically the highest base stats in the game and together we were broken and unstoppable. A military leader can form an overwhelming force (although if someone is just way bigger than you, it may be futile). I think stewardship could be very strong because it would let you build a huge force with cash (rather than an efficient one with power upgrades). Diplomacy has good alliance and expansion options. Learning would theoretically let you tech up faster and perhaps snowball later in the game.

My takeaway right now is that each class of ruler has a role in developing the dynasty. It's probably helpful to switch it up and let each ruler make his own contribution. Right now I needed intrigue because it was the only way to level the playing field, and because my direct line was sort of limited so I needed high fertility and a shitload of kids. But I'd imagine when I have all of britannia, it would make more sense to play a dude focused on stewardship and really get a strong economic base.

Depends on what year you're playing. Yeah, if you're on partition succession and don't have other options, you may want less male heirs because your shit gets all split up. However, your dynasty gets renown faster the more independent rulers it has so it's up to you whether you want to focus on the power of your own line or the dynasty as a whole.

I think the main way to get non-partition succession early in the game is to change to something tied to your culture. The Irish can use tanistry succession which basically gives everything to the winner of an election (that you can manipulate). However, your personal titles might be set to pass through partition suçcession regardless of this, meaning some of your stuff could be split off. Mitigate this by giving your titles that might be partitioned to your chosen heir during your lifetime (then make sure that heir also wins the election).

nothing yet.

i played the tutorial mission. my main dood was a 170 military commander who managed to unite most of ireland. he married a genius wife of humble origins and romanced her and sired a couple of children who are also geniuses.

his son from a previous marriage and heir died young during the conquests, but had a son himself. when the king died, the 8 y/o grandson became king.

now the 8 y/o king is in a court full of mostly hostile vassals. the new king's guardian is a "treacherous villain" but also the old king's best friend so idk how long this dood is going to last.

when looking for a spouse, filter for inheritable traits, then sort by sum of all skills. you might see one or two genius prospects, but they're almost always of humble origin or have some other debilitating conditions.

hmm so my approach of clicking around to find the hottest avatar is probably not the most optimal for building a lasting dynasty

Played the tutorial, the default son kept getting in fights and he got in one too many fights and it got infected and he died. I threw the physician who recommended drastic action into prison and she died there. Then I got remarried and wife had twin boys, then she died in childbirth for the next kid. New wife had another son. Sons got old enough and I married them all off to allies and had 3 allies. Invaded two neighborhood territories which went fine but then invaded a third one and for some reason their army was much much stronger and they invaded my territory and all my heirs were killed and like half my court and it was 1am so I called it a night.

Need to figure out how to assess enemy army strength (the army that destroyed mine was deemed as “inferior” but he fucking crushed me). I also couldn’t figure out how to end the war when it was going against me.

I also couldn’t figure out how to get my prestige (the crown symbol?) up faster. I was always flirting with it being -200 because I was marrying peasants for their stats and because of my invasions. How do I get it up?

Do you guys make use of periodic saves If something goes catastrophically wrong or does that take the fun out of it?

lmao 180

if you click on the person who runs the main kingdom you are reviewing, on the right side of the proifle is an army strength icon that you can hover over to show if they are stronger/weaker etc

But yeah hard to keep multiple wars going on at a time. there is a war icon that pops up on bottom right hand that tells you progress of the war and i think you can beg for peace there

'suppsoedly' the fun in the game is to keep playing it out and not try to optimize, like if you get beat up then play as a dude trying to recover his lost kingdom, but in your case i coulda quit too

looks liek you get prestige from actually winnning wars lol - https://www.gamepur.com/guides/how-to-gain-prestige-in-crusader-kings-3

it looks like a strategy game but you should play it more like an RPG. its a bad game for conquering the map risk/diplomacy style, 180 game when you take a dynasty and sort of roll with whatever happens as an ongoing story.

I have a complete 180 NOT FLAME longread of the rest of my second king's reign to poast later. It's so beautiful . . . a lifetime of scheming and fucking and murdering culminated in this perfect moment where I was able to stack a bunch of power moves within a couple years and turn one of my obscure bastard kids (who at the time was NOCLAIMPWNED) into the heir to my main Ireland kingdom with a very consolidated transfer of power, make him next in line to the Scotland throne despite being a complete outsider with no blood ties to that realm, *AND* give him full claims on the Danish and Norway thrones (basically covering the area of england/norway).

The dude is definitely going to be able to be able to consolidate and create the empire of Britannia within his lifetime. I had various other strategies and things set in motion to let me do that, but it would have taken extra generation or two to pull them off and get the titles to one heir. I can't believe how amazingly all this random shit I did came together. The little circlehead bastard was just being raised with a high military stat to be a marshal candidate to eventually serve my intended heir, but now he has the most titles/claims out of anyone in the region. And he's gonna need that military training to enforce his claims on the Danish and Norwegian thrones.

Replayability doesn’t seem that strong unless there’s a lot I’m missing

You're going to get different events with each of the 5 lifestyle focuses so that keeps it sort of fresh for multiple rulers. Not sure how much difference there is playing the different religions and cultures. I've heard playing as a vassal instead of a liege is pretty different.

This seems like a pretty good base to build expansions off of. Stellaris is a totally different game from when it launched. Like 3-4 times, I've caught up by buying all of the DLC and then played a new game and it has been fresh every time and fun to watch the evolution. I did not play CK2 but it had way more DLC than Stellaris.

Mods should also be pretty good with this game. It would be very easy for modders to add a bunch of extra little events that would keep the narrative fresh.

i used the debug feature to test out the extremes of the game.

i made myself a master seducer & slept with all the top kings in the regions wives & gave them bastard children lol. also made my ugly 60 year old wife 20 years old and with +3 beauty feature. went buckwild on assassinations & throwing people in prison, as my avatar is sadistic and stress is lowered for him via torture

Will take a few DLCs before it's properly great, but this is definitely one of the better vanilla/base paradox releases I can recall. EU4 is amazing now but when it was released it was incredibly vanilla. Imperator was just bad.

Right now there's no reason to play outside of feudal Europe and there are some gross bugs (new sea transport system has troops escaping to ocean tiles constantly) but it's still fun.

Some of the new systems like hooks, dread, the dynastic traits, the lifestyle path trees etc. are really great.

Whatever you want it to be. You set your own goals. E.g. start as a count in the HRE, become a duke, eventually become emperor. Or try to form your own kingdom and declare independence. Or reconquista Spain. Or form the Kingdom of Jerusalem
