The King is Dead, An Heir Is Born: Crusader Kings 3

Reader mode
I just realized a really stupid/fun idea. I'm going to replace King Alfred with my custom ruler (because I'm petty) and hold out until the vikings create Normandy. Then I'm going to invade and create a hybrid culture from it.

If I'm correct I can get a really nice base with Saxon electives and probably even hybridize into France down the line. That and it just sounds fun. Much easier then invading Alfred at least, man will take all of England if he's left alone.

Have a viking normandy going on right now but it's in a weird spot of Eastern Francia being fractured and me waiting on some proper CB's to actually take a kingdom in one swoop.
 
hm, y'know, I should try an english viking start and make an attempt to hybridize it with Spain and see if I can get all the DLC legacies.

Probably would be a pain to actually get the individual legacies but I'm not above cheating for the renown. Kinda wish there's a command to get individual legacies without spending renown though.

Ah right, Varangian Adventure. Hm, I should check how that works.

You get a war to take over a specific spot. If you win then it gives all your counties to randomly generated guys and breaks the Duchie title (if you had one). It's a really good way to get onto any given feudal territory.

If you do it from Scandinavia you get additional man at arms via event troops. Given these are all Norse unique units they are very very powerful.

You can do multiple of them as long as you're less then a king, norse, and its the tribal era. Though they get more expensive each time.

Really good way to abuse this is to launch one at the start to wherever, then conquer a relatively easy county somewhere else, then use that to slingshot your diplomatic range so you can adventure wherever you really want to be.
 
Help me clarify something, Duchy buildings with duchy effects should affect even the non-holder's holdings in the same duchy as long as they're in the same realm, right?

Alternatively, Haestein starts in britanny with a largish event troop, and is perfect for invading pretty much anywhere

Seriously, if I have a mine county, can I build the tax office in the duchy capital and then hand both the duke title (and maybe the capital as well) to a vassal and still have the benefit from the office?

also because the new version borked my last run, I went with the spanish viking run. Losing the ability to raid to be an involved character sucks, but the DLC legacies should make up for it when I get around to grabbing 'em.
 
Well, managed to screw my run up by not realising Confederate Partition was going to create titles of the same rank as my primary one.
Upon my death my realm got split in two empires, which resulted in me getting deposed because somehow one of my vassals had a bigger army than I could raise. :(
 
mmph, can't raid if I wanna be an involved character in the Iberian struggle as a viking descendant. I wonder if I should just do the reverse and start as an Iberian before making my way north to norse lands....
 
I don't know where I went wrong exactly but things have gotten way too expensive:

I can barely pay my court amenities now with the 25% increase due to advancing an era and raising all my levies will bankrupt me long before being able to finish a war...

Edit: found out where I went wrong. Because I didn't create the other Empire level titles to avoid splitting the realm on my death, the vassals in those lands do not consider me their de jure liege and so their contribution gets halved...

Teaching Paradox, Crusader Kings III, part IIa has dropped.

This time about how well the games system models the feudal power structure, which by and large it does better than anything else, with some simplification for gameplay. It succeeds by each ruler having their own agency within an essentially fractured social structure which those on top have to navigate.
 
Part IIb of Teaching Paradox: Crusader Kings 3.

Here covering how the game mechanics model Islamic realms. As is, the clan governments starting as a strongly unifiedcore family group fragmenting into separate branches leading to fragmentation appears to be modeled on the medieval historian Ibn Khalduns asabiyyah theory. It is also noted that key historical components of the Islamic governing systems are missing, specifically garrison cities and the adoption of slave soldiers as means of control.
 
Question for the thread. After researching primogeniture, how do you enact it? It's not on the decision tab, it's not under the pass law tab on the empire screen and it's not an option for my character. How do I actually use it?

Never changed to other partition? Guess you used the election laws huh.

Anyway, in the realm tab there should be a succession tab. You should see the button to change the inheritance law and the gender preference there.

Also see how your realm got divided afterward so you can watch out for "accidents"
