I think a lot of people here can relate to that. Just one of the best games in existence, especially if you are an experience gamer who loves narrative. I missed it, don't know why I stopped playing. And you could have just submitted to whoever is kicking your ass.ĭove in on this again this week. at which point you get stripped of your titles and otherwise reduced to very little. If you play that way you're not going to have a good time with CK3 because in one of your first wars where you're just terribly outnumbered or otherwise long odds from your liege or vassals and you'll fight until you literally can't anymore. I find one of the biggest temptations I run into in this game is to take everything to the wall as if it's some sort of WWII existential political dispute/total war. It is ok to get knocked back down to Duke or be forced to give into a faction who wants more liberty. You'll have shitty heirs and get into terrible situations and you have to roll with it. On the flip side, you really need to be prepared to take the L in this game.
I picked such a good moment, he just straight up allowed me out! I have been waiting several short generations as the 3rd most powerful vassal of the West Francian king to finally take my chance and declare my independence, a faction I sat on for a long time. The big thing is being super careful and always, always waiting until the right time.
Overall, I've finally gotten into the groove. Stress is pretty dangerous and can even lead to death, it fucks you up and gives you bad traits beyond health effects. So stress points build up when you make your character do stuff they don't want to do. They also determine what event choices and actions are "stressful" to you, because they go against your nature. So, your personality traits don't just determine your stats. One big addition which really works is a new stress mechanic. It has gotten me way more into CK3 than Ck2, but I'm not sure vets need to get into it yet if they're happy with CK2.
My sense is that they streamlined and exposed more of the engine in a much friendlier way. This game is great! Don't quit if you have a shitty ruler or 30-40 bad years where you're just hanging in. I've invested heavily in Lollardism, I'm doing quite well, but I'm still a vassal of the French King and our movement is on the run. Things were going swimmingly until Lollardism started to lose ground and the King of Bavaria, the bulwark of Lollardism, started to get Holy Warred by the Pope and lose ground. Not being Catholic has huge advantages-you can directly control your religious properties and make money from them, no more bullshit externally imposed bishops. When "Lollardy" heresy popped up in Central Europe and got traction, I immediately jumped on. I dealt with it for about 10 years but it really fucking sucks. Now I'm reasonably powerful but am in a huge pickle.Īt some point in my first ruler's reign, the Pope excommunicated me for no real reason other than that my diplomacy sucked and my King (West Francia) was mad at me. Things were rough for the entire duration of my first ruler, but CK3 is all about *biding your time* for just the right moment when your ruler and/or your neighbors are weak. Still playing a game of this with Zurich.
