    Had to delete the game

    Posted: 15 Sep 2020 01:02 AM PDT

    This game is just too good. I had to uninstall it because I am currently writing my bachelor thesis and couldn't stop playing. I never had so little self control and time management when it comes to university and playing games. Thanks ck3. See you soon - after my bachelor thesis.

    I love that ck3 offers to let you play as a freeloader vassal.

    Posted: 14 Sep 2020 11:55 PM PDT

    I found this new playstyle (ck2 did not fully enable it). Just try to get a feudal contract with zero taxes or levies, forced council rights everything.

    Make your liege's life a living hell. Be the nightmare vassal to your liege that a tenant can be to his landlord. Never really take power but make the emperor or king a ceremonial title. Always be a hassle whatever the guy in charge wants.

    Rule your kingdom or duchy as you see fit. Become a muslim if your liege is christian. Just do whatever you want as long as you bother your liege.

    Playing Tall w/ Bohemia

    Posted: 14 Sep 2020 09:24 PM PDT

    So, you've decided you're tired of blobbing out and wanna try "playing tall." May I suggest to you: Bohemia. But why Bohemia?

    Bohemia, in 867, is a single duchy of 8 counties. All are of the Czech culture and they're the only Czech provinces in the game, at this time. The layout of the provinces are that so your default capital, Praha, touches every one of your other counties.

    The way that development works is that high development counties radiate out into adjacent counties, causing their development to also improve. So, if you're focusing on Praha, every other one of your provinces (that is every other Czech culture province in the game), is also going to be experiencing benefit from it. Development is helpful in making a province produce more in both troops and income, but also...

    Technology. The main factor in improving in tech is the average development in a culture's provinces. Most cultures have many many provinces and most provinces around 867 are below 10 in development (including all of Bohemia's) but unlike Bohemia's, most other provinces wont trend up at the rate yours will. Because their layout isn't perfect, because they have too many and because...

    Praha is close to being a perfect county. Really the only thing it's missing is one of those OP special buildings. Praha has six barony slots and three of them are farmland providing a wopping 50% total bonus to increasing development (-10% for one hills barony). EDIT: Looks like tooltips are inaccurate, only your county capital applies the bonus, so set your capital to one of the farm castle holdings that you build. I'm not sure there's a better province in the game, right now. Very unlikely there's one better situated and Bohemia is certainly one of the biggest duchies in the game (it can also be turned into a kingdom).

    Slap your Steward down on the county assigned to increase development and never take them off. Money will come from other places and you should never spread your culture for this strategy. Build only buildings that end with a percentage increase to development speed. Luckily they also grant tax bonuses, allowing you to further beef up your holdings.

    Into general strategy: grab the centralization lifestyle perk (stewardship) with every ruler. It makes a huge difference and over decades will help transform Praha into the county of world's desire. The learning focus is an excellent pillar to just hold onto throughout this play-through. The other development perks are in the middle tree and also, learning is the second biggest factor for tech, outside of culture dev. Convert to Catholicism to hit up the Pope for free cash every 4 years. Fuel that growth. It will also make your gigantic southern neighbors like you better. Early in trying to make this work, I was swearing fealty to East Francia: this is a mistake. East Francia will often collapse and its successor state will let you get gobbled up. You're stronger alone.

    After that's done, the biggest risk to an early defeat is the now aggressive pagans to your north. Solution: kidnap their rulers and convert them to Catholicism before releasing them. Your new friends are now a buffer state between you and the northern raiders. Secure powerful allies, just in case.

    Your development will quickly sky rocket past the levels of Rome or Constantinople. By around 1200, my development in Prague was 90, the adjacent counties, which I did not touch, were at 85. Rome at that time was 70. Constantinople, 62. I had the final tech tree entirely unlocked within just a ridiculously short amount of time. Something like 20 years. You'll start noticing you're out teching everyone by around 1100. My suggestions for first techs to unlock, you guessed it: the development oriented ones. Good fun and lets you focus on what CK3 is really about: skillfully marrying off your daughters, playing a game of eugenics with your sons and clicking through lots and lots of popups.

    Bohemia: give it a try.

    CK3 Guide - Who to sway, who to assassinate?

    Posted: 15 Sep 2020 07:28 AM PDT

    Ever sit there for 5 minutes, out of ideas on who to sway or assassinate? This should help.

    Who to sway?

    Somewhat in an order of priority :

    • Swaying your spymaster is generally a priority to protect against assassinations. If your own spymaster is recruited in a scheme against you, you're pretty much dead. This works the same when you're trying to kill enemies, recruit their spymaster if possible and you can pretty much go from 5% success chance to 95%.
    • Swaying the bishop results in more gold and levies. The more he likes you, the more he gives you. Worth taking to 100%, and worth gifting gold to get it going faster. The bigger your realm the more this is true.
    • Swaying and seducing your wife helps with having children. If you have good chances to seduce first, do it asap.
    • Swaying your powerful vassals is generally a good idea. Side tip, name some of them to council, give some lands to others, and then this leaves you with less people you need to sway.
    • Sway rulers you want as allies. It increases the chances of them accepting a marriage.
    • Sway people you want to recruit in a scheme such as assassination. Sometimes you just need a few points to recruit them, and swaying would be cheaper than paying gold.
    • If you run out of ideas, swaying your pope is often useful.

    ​

    Who to assassinate?

    In no particular order :

    • Assassinate your wife if she can't have anymore kids and you still want heirs. Women in this game stop having children at 45 years of age, and the younger they are the better chance for kids. (100% at 16-25, 33% at 41, zero at 45.)
    • Assassinate troublemakers in your empire. Like rivals or pissed off vassals. For instance if you seized their titles, imprisoned their family, or did other things that have personal negative modifiers, you'll get along better with their heir. Don't do it if all the negative modifiers would be the same with the heir (want seat on council, etc).
    • Think about killing powerful vassals that have claims on your lands (-25 to opinion per title they desire), their heirs won't inherit the unpressed claims and you'll get along better. Don't confuse this with a duke who desires a county you own because it's his de jure. This part will stay.
    • Kind of counter intuitive, but sometimes you will want to kill people who like you. For instance if you want to revoke titles, you can avoid the tyranny if they refuse the revoke. In this case you will fight their military, and imprison them at the end. This process lets you seize their titles without tyranny. To be clear, the issue is, if they like you, they will say yes to the revoke and you will get tyranny. So you want to deal with someone who likes you less. So to avoid this, you want to kill the vassal that likes you first then do the revoke to his heir who has a higher chance to say no.
    • Assassinate an incompetent bishop, if you're playing a realm that can't name their bishop like the Irish. Anything at 11 or less should be killed. 12 is about average and OK. More is better. But the best i have seen in 300 years was 16, so don't be too greedy. I believe to have a chance to claim the whole duchy, you'll need a bishop with at least 10 learning.
    • Truces are ruler tied, not realm. Meaning if you're in a hurry and don't want to wait 5 years for the truce to end, you can assassinate the ruler and declare war on his heir after. In fact with enough intrigue you can keep doing that to speed up your wars.
    • Assassinate people with claims on your lands, who can act on them. If they without lands, money, power, or allies it doesn't matter, let them die of old age and the claims with vanish. But if they represent a real threat then you want them gone. Keep in mind, sometimes you want to be in defensive wars because you get a decent gold payout when you win. + the opportunity to go on a castle and gold capturing frenzy without spending prestige or making claims.
    • If you've married into the succession line of a realm, then you can assassinate to climb the succession ladder. Your family can either inherit lands this way, or their heirs will eventually.
    • You can weaken realms and make them into smaller threats. When foreign leaders have partition laws and multiple heirs, their lands will be split up among all of their heirs. Meaning the resulting realms will be divided, and less of a threat to conquer. To be clear, a 10,000 army realm can become a bunch of split up 3000 army realms which makes it possible for your 5000 army to tackle. What more, they might fight each other because they all have conflicting claims. This creates an opening for you to come in and grab everything. Even better, because now you have 3 separate targets for war, you can fight one, then fight the others when the truce is up. Gives you 3 targets to switch around truces instead of a single big one.

    That's it! I hope that gave you some ideas.

    Have I missed anything? Feel free to add to the list.
