My original player character quickly took over the Duchy of Savo. Eventually made the Kingdom of Finland, (super easy btw, for any newbies.) My original player unfortunately died in the last county war leading to total control of Kingdom of Finland.

I then married his heir to a slut who cheated all the time, so I divorced her, kept her in court, recruited the guy she cheated on me with, murdered both of them, married their badtard son offspring (my original heir) to the Queen of Estonia, then schemed to make her my lover while my original heir (with the slut wife) is married to her. Disinherited him, and now hoping I impregnated her with a son.

God I love this game.

Just want to know how to role play as someone possessed as I’ve never don it have no clue what I should act like especially in relation to my other behavioural attributes.

Is this in everyone's game? When you go to dismiss a guest from court it doesn't know where they're leaving from?

Character Missing Surname

Missing Dynasty Names

Whenever I open a multiplayer lobby I can see the surnames of characters just fine. As soon as someone joins the surnames disappear. The dynasty map mode is also missing all names. Strangely this only affects the host. The bug occurs with or without mods, and I've only noticed it since Roads to Power dropped.

Anyone else have this bug?

Saw this while (attempting) a tall-ish run in holland. Alfred is trying to defend his land, as the last Anglo-Saxon "King" of England, from the Danes. He seems to be succeeding as well... at least for now. Haesteinn unified all of northern England (Danelaw-ish land) and all of Wales into a united Kingdom of England. He was attempting his first real invasion into the Kindom of Wessex at the time of this Screenshot. Some other interesting things in the British Isles is that Ivar the boneless is still alive, and is still holding out as a Norse-Gael. He lost Dublin, and the Suðreyjar, but still holds onto the Mön, along with parts of ireland and Lothain. No large-scale invasion of Ireland by the Norsemen succeeded, so only Ivar has land there.

For now, the strongest kingdoms in the British isles are:

Ireland:

1. Munster (1711 troops)

2. Mön (1616 troops)

3. Desmond (1196 troops)

4. Meath (1045 troops)

Scotland (counting Lothain and Galvei (under another norseman that isnt Ivar)

1. Alba (1906 troops)

2. Mön (1616 troops)

3. Galvei (179... rip him)

England+Wales

1. Wessex (4589 troops)

2. England (3138 troops)

3. Cornwall (628 troops)

Mercs are included in the total count.

So, overall... wessex is the most powerful kingdom, followed by England, then Alba, then all the irish rulers in order, then cornwall, and finally galvei.

Would like to play a game where Byz had a lot more instability like it did historically

My top choices are:

-The British Isles: content for the Anglo-Saxons, the formation of Anglo-Saxon England, a struggle with the Vikings, more flavor for English England, a struggle in Ireland to restore the authority of the High King and some kind of Struggle in Scotland. Hopefully, the cultural transitions this region went through would be represented.

-The Maghreb: the entire region is a melting pot of different Emirates with opportunities to expand into Sicily and Iberia and it's a region I personally ejoy playing in.

-Egypt: some sort of struggle between Copts and Muslims, with extra flavor for the Kemetic faith still present in Nubia.

-Carolingian World: the game starts a couple of generations after the death of Charlemagne, and the fragments of his empire would crumble pretty quickly. Some game mechanics to try and keep the Empire and the Karling dynasty together other than 'press every claim you got' would be neat. Also, this would tie in nicely with a Catholicism and HRE expansion.

-The Slavic World: another interesting area to play in, as the Slavs would drift away from paganism and embrace Orthodoxy, with alt-hist potential to choose Islam over Christianity.

hello, I have a problem with CK3 constantly crashing whole pc. basically when I zoom in or out it freezes, sometimes it unlocks sometimes it stays frozen forever :). Ive seen someone having the same problem on forum, but paradox support doesn’t seem like helping much, so I came here to ask for any help. hardware is fine i think ( 4060 / i5-12450 / 16gb ram ) and temp aint rising above 75C on both gpu and cpu, lowest setting and fps cap done, drivers fine. please help

So I was wondering why my granddaugther started popping out inbred children. When their first born was inbred I didn't think too much of it, the lustful trait has led to plenty of affairs in my current playthrough, and I had uncles have affair with their nieces and similar. It was time for another purge anyway and so I had all the family members I hadn't had any current use for / who were becoming nuisances killed.

But it didn't stop. I got confused. The boy I married her too was a random nobody I found sitting around at my court, bastard son of some minor vassal of mine. After the seventh consecutive inbred child I found out through the console that that very boy was my heirs bastard son. Which is to say, I accidentally married sister and (half-) brother. Didn't help that the vassal in question was my rulers illegitimate daugther.

Sometimes I love this game.

Justinian would be proud

Hiya, I modified my vassal contract to allow me to declare war on a neighboring territory. I beat them, enforced my demands and got the lordship of their territory.

But then I had to grant the land. Ok, so I granted it to one of my children. But like... what? I had to use a hook to get an alliance with him or he wouldn't agree to ally with me. Now it's just, like, his? I don't understand. I won it and I feel like I just gave it away and it was all for nothing.

Am I missing something?

I’ve played a few runs as tribal rulers, and eventually move onto feudal later on to keep up with those around me, but I always get stuck after that point. I want to try starting out as a feudal ruler, but don’t know how to go about getting claims outside of the individual counties I get from my bishop, which I only ever really use to revoke land, rather than to take more, as going county by county when truces are a thing is incredibly slow

So yeah, how do yall go about it?

No issue at all ? even with DLCs?

Thinking it would be fun to play for a few hours every Saturday or something, maybe with the new start date?

As Wulf, claim your vengeance against Helm

As Bountig, an Easterling mercenary, journey the world and take those lessons home to your people

As Azog of Moria, unite the Orcs of the Mountains under your banner

As Arassuil, Chieftain of the Dunedain, unite against the Orcish threat and potentially claim the throne of Gondor

As Thrór, King Under the Mountain, face the coming fire then reclaim your mountain home

Countless other wonders, decisions, and events have been added to all the corners of the map.

Just barely managed to crawl through a war with England (Only Northumbria, Mercia, York and Lancashire. Allied with Ireland (apart from Dublin) and a full civil war (I control Cornwall, Wessex, Kent, Essex, East Anglia, Hwicce as well as Deubarth, and half of Powys and Gwynedd, All of which apart from Hwicce (my title) rebelled). Lost 3 rulers in the war and fucked up my inheritance plans, massive debt and my Bishop sends me a letter saying “I just gave the King of England (who I had been in a war with 2 days ago) a claim on Hwicce (my capitol).

Just wondering where everyone refers to play tall, I like Brittany and Wales, I prefer to own most of the counties as part of my domain, I also don't mind conquering some land either, looking for some ideas for a new campaign now.

Thanks in advance!

I want to do a Wessex Run but I want to make it unique/interesting. Anyone have any suggestions like migration, faith chance or a silly plot twist?

Please don’t say New England (crimea) it’s been done a coomjillion times

A system similar to Austria/Hungary where two kingdoms work together for defence against bigger enemies and marry into each other families

Archduchy system that puts all your a dukes under one archduke

Anyone else have ideas?

I'm going to start an adventurer play however I can't decide whether the character should be French or Norman. Normans have more adventurous traditions (Also conrois), while the French have a chivalrous tradition that perfectly suits my wandering knight. I'm stuck between the two and open to all suggestions.
