Crusader Kings III

[Tamas]

Spotted the Cumans, 30 years after game start, having painted the whole of Byzantium their colour by making the empire their tributary.

Meh.

Haven't played much with the new patch, though saw comments that Nomads are a bit OP. As for the Cumans, does their leader have the Conqueror trait, potentially with scourge of god modifier?

[Tamas]

I will check but I have read it on Reddit that this is a big problem with balance atm. Even AI nomads can tributise far away and much larger realms and then that builds up into modifiers making those tributaries accept standard vassalage after a while.

Trying to return to the Dark Ages mod. It does have the right idea of what the game needs but the constant event-bombardment of "choose between various options costing gold" once I have a decent treasury is kind of annoying. I think they have an option now to turns these off, might try.

Started a game of CKIII for the first time in over a year. Don't have any of the recent DLC, not even Roads to Power, but still seems like there have been quite a few free aditions. And, since I've never started a game in East Africa, it's been interesting.

King of Abyssinia start, he's 56 with three daughters. Matrilineally married them, and the oldest has two sons now. The oldest is delicate or whatever the minor debuff is. Managed to diplo-vassalize a bunch of neighbors and conquer the rest of the dejure territory. Even managed to diplo-vassalize a non-dejure duke after helping defend them in a holy war (they were also Ethiopian and Copic, so that helped). Going pretty well so far.

Egypt blew up, the Shia Caliph destroyed the title (I guess he must have lost a dissolution war, otherwise it doesn't make sense).

Delicate son has inherited at this point. Kingdom controls 25 counties, just slowly improving my domain at this point.

Doing okay. My heir is married to the Queen of Nubia's heir and I've since conquered the three most western counties of Adal (the one bordering me)

Well this doesn't work. He was a bloody baron, not a bloody master.

Abysinnia play through is going well. I control 40 counties, and once my granddaughter inherits both Abysinnia and Nubia I should have enough to found the Empire.



As you can see Coptic Christianity is doing well. Islam in general is doing well, but is quite fractured between various sects. There used to be a massive Ashari empire in North Africa that has split into several successor states. There was a Maturidi Persian Empire that took over all of northern India but exploded into more than a dozen pieces. Fatamid's reestablished Egypt but has been warring with the Seljuks instead of us.
 


They've also been hammered by a devestating small pox outbreak with an innocous name.

So I've returned to CKIII haven't played it in about 18 months. As ususal when I return to a Pdox game after a long time, I can't remember how to do things.
I'm playing as an Irish King (a "High King"). I can't change my succession law because I am tribal and am locked into Confederate Partition. Now I'm trying to go feudal, even though under my "realm" window it says Kingdom of Ireland is a Feudal Kingdom
There is no crown or tribal authority markers  in that domain button, no laws I can change that I can see, so I'm not really sure how to go feudal, assuming I am tribal, though I can't really tell. For instance I am paying for Men at Arms with gold not prestige. I can't find where to locate my tribal or crown authority?
I have completed all the tribal innovations.

Edit: I just think i. Am missing something. Like how / where to change laws and vassal obligations and authority

[Syt]

I never play tribal. Isn't going feudal like a decision you can take?

Its not even that you forget the rules, often in that timeframe the rules have changed

Last I played, to go Feudal from Tribal you need Crown Authority 4 and and then it's a decision that costs prestige IIRC.

[jimmy olsen]

Ugh, my stupid mother in law changed her inheritance law from female to equality right before she died, so my wife only inherited a county and her brother inherited the kingdom.

I don't want to fight Nubia because I don't want to give the Fatimids an opening, and I want to make a hybrid Ethiopian and Nubian culture once I'm Emperor. However, I'm not sure I can get enough counties even if I conquer every single non-Nubian one

Where do I find my Crown Authority? I click the crown button on the top right, but it doesn't show it.
