I got my first naked person today after ~25 hours into the game. I properly mansplained Jesus to her and got her to put clothes on again.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

I think this tweet confirmed all I needed to know about state of CK3... :P

And no, not looking at the blob.

If you mean Sweden being scattered all over the place, I believe there's a setting for that:

Off: Rulers can have disconnected land anywhere in the world
Limited (AI Only): AI Rulers at peace will lose disconnected land on succession unless it's part of their de jure territory or is connected to the capital by one county or a naval path.
Significant (AI Only): AI Rulers at peace will lose disconnected land on succession unless it's part of their de jure territory or is connected to the capital by a naval path.
Total (AI Only): AI Rulers at peace will lose disconnected land on succession unless it's connected to the capital by a naval path.

Well more like Sweden, Gardariki, Hwicce, Galicia, Wales, Alba and Lithuania. While exclave independence would with the after effects (/less stable base for further expansion), doesn't exactly assist with everyone snake about in odd directions.

Finally getting around to playing some more. Btw, is it me, or is the soundtrack quite bland this time? I feel the last great soundtrack they did was for Stellaris.

Started as Count of Sundgau in the 800s, as vassal of the Duke of Bar (my cousin). Managed to gobble up a few neighboring counties. My liege presses a claim on East Francia. I use the chance to make myself Duke (Alsace and Transjuria[?]).

West Francia kicks my liege's butt, so Francia is reunited, and he and I are at the same level again (Dukes).

I go pressing my wife's claims, join allies' wars, and generally mind my own business. Then the Duke of Bar declares war on me. "Haha!" I think, "I'm allied to the King of West Francia!" Except I can't call on him, because I can't call him to defend against one of his own vassals. Meanwhile. Bar calls in the King of Italy. :o And despite mercs (I like the new system of paying up front for a fixed amount of time), they stomp me. Hard. And take Sundgau, which is my capital and most developed county. Fuckers.

Soon after, both I and the Duke of Bar die, but this slight shall never be forgotten as long as there is an heir of his and my family. :mad:

I find I'm winning a few too many wars simply by suddenly capturing enemy leader or his heir. A bit too cheesy. Needs to be nerfed, I think.

Does this game have cadet lines?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I actually prefer this rather than a never-ending hell war sieging down all their provinces.

Pretty realistic though
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Goddammit my PSU died so much for a Sunday spent playing this :p

Amazon shall arrive with the new one by 7pm. I actually completely forgot I only had a 500w in this one. I put in some extra stuff into it since then most notably a GPU upgrade so I guess no wonder after two weeks of Flight Simulator it gave up. :D

Revenge is mine! My heir killed off the 3 year old Duke of Bar, so the title was inherited by the King of Italy, a 6 year old boy. Who I also killed, which meant that Bar became independent, because it was isolated within West Francia.

The count of Sundgau pledged allegiance to my king who then transferred the feudal contract to me. Now I just have to find a way to revoke the title to reclaim our rightful ancestral lands.  :menace:

Also, after a couple years I noticed that my character apparently became Jewish during his upbringing. I didn't actually notice until my King "gently asked" me to convert to Catholicism. Oops. :lol:

Gave in to all the hype here and bought it.

It just crashes on startup/initializing game every time.  :(

I thought that shit didn't really happen anymore.
