Re: Crusader Kings III - The Sequel You Have Been Waiting For
The timeline's end is fast approaching, and our Dayirid dynasty has reached a new peak (although not as impressive as our Jahan allies).
The world is overwhelmingly Muslim, primarily Sunni Ash'ari.
Khagan Saru, who oversaw an extraordinary period of growth and stability, has died at ripe old age of 76. He came to the throne at age 2(!), somehow surviving to take the reigns of his empire. I don't know who served as regent during his childhood, since the game abstracts this, but they did an amazing job.
Despite the fact that Saru was a master diplomat (huge Diplomacy stat) who rarely picked up a sword (middling Prowess), the game decided to highlight his fighting ability in his obituary. Oh well.
His second-eldest son, Belitko, takes the throne (the eldest son was disinherited for general incompetency). Actually quite a few thrones -- that's three empires and 13 kingdoms. Belitko is no genius but hopefully he'll be able to hold things together until the game ends in 1453.

Re: Crusader Kings III - The Sequel You Have Been Waiting For
Well, it's been a while, but things are afoot in the CKIII world. A new patch is on the horizon and we're getting hints on what it will involve.
Winter is coming to Crusader Kings 3 as first details on the 1.3 patch drop
Winter is coming to Crusader Kings 3 as first details on the 1.3 patch drop
Poetry is coming to Crusader Kings 3, so everyone is getting a pope hatWinter, which we’re told is coming, will involve new visuals for the campaign map, as well as three season ‘flavours’ in mild, normal, and harsh. The map will change to become snow-covered, and there will be visual cues at the barony level to show what level of winter you have.
The harsher the winter, the more penalties there’ll be for things like supply, combat penalties for units like cavalry, and more ‘fatal’ casualties during combat. Some cultures will get unique men-at-arms units that actually get a bonus while fighting in winter.
The map changes mainly revolve around introducing new baronies and counties in certain areas. There’s a range of map changes the team would like to address, but the first to get some love will be Ireland and Italy. You can read more about the specifics of these new map additions at the bottom of the diary.
And...But soft, what light through yonder window breaks? Why, it’s poetry, of course – the kind that the deranged characters in Crusader Kings III come up with, anyway. The latest dev diary for Paradox’s medieval grand strategy game explains how the poetic trait will work when it arrives, but it also informs us that everyone is getting a pope hat.
First, let’s talk about rhyming, Middle Ages style. Unlike the Crusader Kings II version of the ‘poetic’ trait, Crusader Kings III’s incarnation will involve procedurally generated verses, which can be used to impress, seduce, or even torture other characters. Crusader Kings III’s poems will be built around five themes: romance, legacy, mourning, strife, and incompetence (that last one is for when the poet is particularly vexed with someone they know doing something particularly stupid).
Paradox says at present, the poetry system takes into account characters’ biographies and then picks an appropriate theme, which it will then use to select intro and outro lines for a nice little couplet, as well as a title for the work.
Medieval poetry torture might be diabolical, but will it measure up to Vogon poetry?Poetic characters can also use their body of work as a method of torture – imprisoned characters can be subjected to hours-long recitations of the poets’ favourite passages and rhymes. The horror.

Re: Crusader Kings III - The Sequel You Have Been Waiting For
This mod will let you settle Crusader Kings 3 battles in Mount & Blade
Crusader Kings 3 is a great strategic romp that lets you play out your kingmaking fantasies of intrigue and plotting. When it comes to pulling out the swords though, wouldn't it be cool if you could actually get down on the battlefield to fight your way to victory? Hold up, there's definitely a game for that. Well several, really, but this is about Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord. An upcoming mod will let you play out your crusading wars on Bannerlord's battlefields and then send the results back to your Crusaders campaign to continue strategising.
A modder called George is currently working on the Crusader Blade mod which lets you have your crusade and eat it too. You'll need to own both games because the mod acts like a bridge between the two.
"Crusader Kings sends parameters such as the number of troops, the militancy of the army commander (game character) and other warriors, the types of troops, the type of terrain, and others to Mount & Blade through a special gateway," George explains on the mod's Patreon page. "Based on this data, a map is created and troops are placed in Mount & Blade." After the battle, Bannerlord sends information back to Crusader Kings about how many troops were killed.

Re: Crusader Kings III - The Sequel You Have Been Waiting For
From PCGamesN, as announced at the PDX, Crusader Kings 3: Northern Lords is a viking themed expansion, out next week. Vikings are a very hot item right now
It’s been over six months since medieval grand strategy game Crusader Kings 3 murdered its way into our hearts, and everyone’s been eagerly awaiting news as to what’s coming next. We’ve known today’s Paradox Insider event was going to bring news regarding the historical strategy game’s initial stab at expansion content, and the first Crusader Kings 3 DLC has been revealed as Northern Lords.
The question is, will this be enough to satiate everyone’s appetites? This first expansion is a ‘flavour pack’. You might also know them as ‘immersion packs’, or even ‘country packs’ from some of the other games Paradox makes. These are essentially minor add-ons that focus on small features or thematic content, as opposed to introducing major new mechanics or overhauls.
Northern Lords mainly introduces new thematic assets for characters of the Norse culture. There will be new character art (including new hairstyles and clothes), new music, and new 3D models for things like holdings and units. There’s also a bunch of scripted content involving new events, decisions, even legacies.
Adventurers can go settle foreign lands, and played characters can join in, and there’s a new Historically Accurate (TM) ‘High Kingdom’ around the North Sea you can try and form, for the bants.
As is tradition, there’s a free patch accompanying this DLC although even this is modest in terms of what it brings to the game. Winter is coming, as we’ve reported on before, as is ‘duelling’ which can be to-the-death, or just to first blood, with plenty of character interactions to influence the event.

Re: Crusader Kings III - The Sequel You Have Been Waiting For
From the devs, Dev Diary #52: 1.3 ‘Corvus’ Patch Notes
And for those who were really concerned about this:
The page is worth visiting as there are lots of images to see, illustrating the changes. Below in the spoiler are the actual patch notes:Greetings!
Today is the release of Northern Lords, and with it the free 1.3 patch that we’ve dubbed ‘Corvus’ in honor of Odin’s ravens! We’ve teased parts of the patch notes in previous Dev Diaries, but this time we’ll post them all – roughly 13 pages of changes and fixes, and this time there won’t be any omissions or [REDACTED] text!
There are some notable free additions we’ve not mentioned yet that we’d like to show off! Most of them would have been dead giveaways for the theme of the Flavor Pack, but as Freya’s cat is out of the bag now – let’s get to it!
Spoiler:
• characters can now rip their shirts off without exposing their crotch

Honestly I was wondering what they were talking about . Thanks for clearing it up.
Now, do I start another hundred hour playthrough of CKIII?

So I would guess that having crocodiles show up in duels must be a Peter Pan reference, of which I approve.

Re: Crusader Kings III - The Sequel You Have Been Waiting For
I last was playing CK3 during September 2020 with the epic story of my time as High King of Ireland. After one hundred hours on the game I put it on the back burner till new stuff rolled out. Now after three major updates I've decided to not wait till the Royal Court DLC gets released towards the end of this year and instead start a new game.
I'm King Alfonso VI 'the Brave', King of Leon. I'm a schemer and a trickster, which is good because my good for nothing two brothers hold the kingdoms on each side of me
I'm leading the Intrigue lifestyle, with a focus on Skullduggery. Why I want to spend my time digging skulls I don't know . Anyway I've already picked up three perks, including one where I can fabricate Hooks on other characters. Very useful!
I've already investigated launching murder schemes against my two brothers. One is rather well protected, so that's out. And if I kill the other, his titles go to the other brother, not me. So I guess I'll have to look at other means to exploit them.

Re: Crusader Kings III - The Sequel You Have Been Waiting For
Well, first things first anyway, I have to find a wife! With threats to the east and west of me, I have to choose carefully. Happily, Adelais de Ponthieu is available. And hey, her uncle approves of me and will join me in an alliance if I do marry her. Since her uncle is William II of Normandy, known to history as William the Conqueror, this seems like a really good idea as he has a huge army. So we are married!
Oh crap, I forget the year, 1066. William calls on me to join his war against England. Crap. Well, I can't disappoint my new uncle!

Re: Crusader Kings III - The Sequel You Have Been Waiting For
Things are getting complicated. My sister is also my spymaster. And she is <sigh> also my lover . I could break up with her, but do I want to break up with a woman whose strength in Intrigue is higher than mine? She's very useful, if you know what I mean

Re: Crusader Kings III - The Sequel You Have Been Waiting For
As an adroit schemer, I used my Fabricate Hook perk to blackmail my bishop. He now hates me, but I now also get the tax income from the church holdings. So who is next?

Re: Crusader Kings III - The Sequel You Have Been Waiting For
My bishop, who hates me, announces that he has found out that my marriage is consanguineous and says I must divorce my wife! Hah! My intrigue strength allows me to prove the claim is a fake and he loses piety for that.
Not that it matters. I ask "Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?" And someone does
Annoyingly the new bishop doesn't like me either

Re: Crusader Kings III - The Sequel You Have Been Waiting For
A number of things have happened since I last posted. I am now King Alfonso VI 'the Father of Spain', for I have united the three petty kingdoms of Castile, Gallacia and León into the Kingdom of León
Of course, I didn't get there without being a little nasty
To make a long story short, I let one brother conquer the realm of the other brother, then the first brother died of his wounds so his infant son inherited his now twice the size realm. Then the son met with an accident and I inherited both petty kingdom titles, making me King of León. Then I killed off my other brother so he wouldn't make trouble, and then bumped off another two vassals who didn't like me. I would be doing more with my army except I am desperately short of money and piety, which I hope to remedy by blackmailing the pope. Other than that, not much going on

Re: Crusader Kings III - The Sequel You Have Been Waiting For
I finally plunked down my dollars to get started in the game. I haven't read through the entire thread, but is there a list of must-have Workshop mods that I should look into? I'm thinking more quality-of-life mods rather than zombie invasion (those can come later).

Re: Crusader Kings III - The Sequel You Have Been Waiting For
We are eight days away from the release of the new Royal Court expansion, so it's time for me to post some info. I'm planning to jump in and do another hundred hour playthrough like I did before, so that means I'll be posting impressions with an emphasis on Royal Court content.
First though, let's get some content posted. First, from the devs, an expanded and updated CK3 "Royal Court" FAQ - Developer Diaries, Q&A & Important Information. Lots of good info on the expansion.
Now, a couple of videos about the Royal Court, showing the new content in-game. The first is under six minutes, the second just over four minutes.

Re: Crusader Kings III - The Sequel You Have Been Waiting For
I finally picked this up (after dallying with it during my brief PC Game Pass days) during the most recent sale. I was really looking forward to the expansion so that's why I grabbed it.
I did play it once or twice already. The first run was an ironman go at Ireland, where I got into an unwanted war and things fell apart quickly.
The second playthrough - I united all of Ireland for my first time. My ruler was quite strong (the queen was an amazing help). Currently, he's getting to the end of his days, and I expect things will become quite a mess when he passes because of the herd of heirs he has. I'll either finish that run off to see what happens, or probably restart when the expansion drops. Either way, it's been fun thus far.

Re: Crusader Kings III - The Sequel You Have Been Waiting For
I did a playthrough as a ruler of Ireland, posted earlier in this thread. It was a lot of fun and kept me at the game for a much longer time than I expected. I found that I enjoyed it most when I role-played the character. It actually helped in figuring out how to use the game systems.

Re: Crusader Kings III - The Sequel You Have Been Waiting For
Heya jztemple2 - are you playing with any/many mods? I'll probably wait until after the DLC is out for awhile to avoid broken mods, but I'm curious if there's anything I should definitely check out?

I don't use any mods myself at this time, although I might check some out later on after spending some time with Royal Court. I agree, there will probably be a number of broken mods for awhile.

Re: Crusader Kings III - The Sequel You Have Been Waiting For
Well, since you mentioned mods, now you've got me thinking about it . I'm not interested at this time in mods that alter or add realms to the map, but I do like a nice utility mod, especially one that will stop me from doing something stupid. So I've installed Knight Manager
I have in the past lost an heir or two because I didn't pay enough attention to who were my current knights. This mod sounds like a good idea to prevent that. There is also an associated MP version but I don't need that since I'm only doing SP."Your heir died in battle!"
How often have your loved ones died a brutal death in battle, because you forgot to tell them that they did not have to fight?
This mod prevents their death and saves you a lot of time. The Knight Manager adds a settings menu to the knight window in which you can specify rules according to which characters are employed as knights. And of course you can manually allow certain characters to be exempt from the general rule, if you so desire.
I'll post info on any other mods I find useful and folks should feel free to do the same.

Re: Crusader Kings III - The Sequel You Have Been Waiting For
By the way, for folks who do not know, using mods disables achievements. That doesn't bother me, but it might some people.
I added a few more. Here are my mods in total:
I added a few more. Here are my mods in total:
- Knight Manager
- Extended Outliner I used the Outliner a lot, this mod adds more info to the window which works for me.
- Nameplates Very useful for me.

- Ultimate Tooltip - Framework I've also installed all the add-ons for the time being, not sure how useful they will be.

Re: Crusader Kings III - The Sequel You Have Been Waiting For
I'm in the same boat as you - not looking to add realms or any time of total conversion type gameplay. But utility mods are always a bonus. I'll have to check some of those out, probably in a couple weeks. Thanks for doing the legwork!

Re: Crusader Kings III - The Sequel You Have Been Waiting For
I've been playing the CK3 tutorial and extending it to get back up to speed on the game prior to the DLC release tomorrow. I've reached the year 1100, so that's 34 years of gameplay. My original character the petty king died, leaving the titles split between the two male offspring. That didn't work out well since it turned out that before I became the one son, he had tried to murder his brother so that his brother hated him. And he did indeed murder one of his vassals so that the heir of that vassal hated him too . As the years went by my new ruler managed to get involved in a war that caused him to get pounded, invaded and actually taken prisoner . I tried to escape but failed, got hurt and stressed, and finally had to spend most of my remaining money to get out of jail.
But all was not lost. I managed to conquer one duchy and then made good friends with other rulers. Once my brother had died (of leprosy! don't look at me like that!) his heir was a young child. I made that child my ward, which convinced her to allow herself to become my vassal, as long as I was willing to accept a low tax and levy rate from her. And likewise from two other rulers, so by 1100 I was King of Ireland with the whole island under my rule.
I'm stopping there, since I'm determined to start with a new ruler I haven't played before when I dig into the Royal Court expansion.

It's gotten to the point in my gaming life that if I'm curious about a PC game, or suggestions for PC gaming, I come to the Video Games thread and just search for posts by JZTemple2.

Fair warning to folks, the new update today will break save games. If you want to complete that game you're playing turn off auto updating.
The new DLC supposedly releases at 5pm CET, which is 11am EST, which is a few minutes from now.

Re: Crusader Kings III - The Sequel You Have Been Waiting For
I was pondering whether or not I should buy the Royal Court DLC or just leave it until it's on sale due to the fact that I'll be diving into Total War: Warhammer III next week. Apparently I bought the Royal Edition when CK3 released, so it turns out I don't need to worry about it.
I suppose that's why I buy things like season passes -- by the time the DLC comes out I've forgotten that I bought it, so it's a surprise gift to future me.
