Crusader Kings III

[dps]

My views remain unchanged. That the only way forward for paradox games is to lessen the power of the map. With the map lying as the only interface the games inevitably become paint the world pink affairs even if that completely isn't what CK is meant to be about

Crusader Kings is supposed to be about strengthening your dynasty, not your realm, but it never really has worked that way.  I don't have a great solution for that, but I don't think the way they seem to be going is the right direction, either.

A feature I would like to see would be hiding character stats from the player.  Instead of having a "10" in management or whatever, it just gives a rating like "Good" or "Terrible".  Like how King of Dragon pass communicates stats.  The accuracy of knowing a character's stats would be based on the player characters own stats and that of his/her spymaster.  For instance you might hire a guy to be your treasurer and think he's brilliant but because your character is dumb as a rock he isn't able to figure out that his Treasurer lost the ability to count to ten when his hand was chopped off.

Hmm...while I still paint the hell out of the map, the more I play the more I have leaned toward a put every relative I can in power somewhere style.

But don't you find that comes back to haunt you? I find that when you play that way, ineveitably when you end up playing as a kid, all your powerful uncles join factions to unseat you.

Yeah you get very little from having your dynasty ruling the kingdom if the person you are playing is not in charge. You are not really playing that dynasty you are playing the legal descendants of some character. Your half-brother (or some kinsman who you have forgotten how you are related to) who rules France while you rule Italy is not even really your friend outside of a small relations boost, much less somebody else you are playing.

Nothing comes back to bite Timmay in the ass 'cause he scum saves.

It's just another map to paint.

I have a big enough retinue and treasury for meracnaries that it doesn't matter. Really good at managing factions to.

I don't do that much anymore.

The game is fun (I been immersed in it since last summer), but it is the only game I find I sometimes have the urge to rage quit on.

Very naughty Catholics.
Silly Catholics

He's not a Catholic, he's a very naughty boy!

I read that they are removing plagues from CK3 because people don't like them. So I guess this *is* going to be a generic fantasy RPG.
