Crusader Kings III

[HVC]

It doesn't matter. You can also fast teleport then by disbanding and moving the rally point, if you're so inclined. Only works with smaller armies. Big ones take a while to gather so doesn't work as well.

Is there a settings, somewhere, that govern the number of women generated.  We're like drowning in them.  My current character had 6 girls before he finally got a male heir.  All those girls produced girls in turn.  It's aggravating.

[FunkMonk]

Everyone in the world hates my gay murderous conniving edgelord king who is head of a family of murderous conniving assholes but I'm about to unite Spain so fuck em I say.

[Zanza]

Does not seem to matter. I disbanded my army in foreign lands and could see no effect on available levies or man at arms

So, in my first campaign still, and I think I've seemed to run into some type of snag.

When I want to upgrade any of my buildings to "level 3" it won't let me. There is a box that is unchecked that says "(domain name) has a keep or one of its upgrades."
I don't understand what that means. All my building boxes are used up. I don't see "keep" anywhere. Confused.

[Habbaku]

Upgrading further requires your cultural group (French, Polabian, whatever) to have the required technology to advance further. I believe that one is "Hoardings" or something, whatever lets you build the next level of fortifications. Once you have that tech, it'll open up the ability to upgrade the fortification in the holding and then you can start upgrading the buildings.

Above the building buttons is a button that allows you to upgrade the main holding of the county. For castles, one of the steps is the keep. For which you need the tech as Habbaku wrote.

Men at arms are really good. Just having a level two Mangonel unit really cuts down on the siege time.

ooh, sneaky. Yeah, found it.

Lappland conquered SCotland.  This after William the Conquerer didn't conquer.

Did he at least bastard?

I guess, as his son was Robert the Bastard. I kind of wondered if it was a hereditary title in itself.

[Josephus]

So I know half a game is not a test. I'm halfway through Game 1. (1066 start date, or whatever it is) playing as an Irish county.
Holy Roman Empire is Da Boss. Talk about Great White Blob. It stretches from most of Britain, south to north Spain, most of France and east past Poland.

[crazy canuck]

Impressive, in the two games I have played with that start date, it diminished in the first couple of generations and recovered only slightly.

[Habbaku]

My experiences with the HRE are all over the place, which is a good thing. I've seen them blob into Hungary, Poland, England, and deep into Ukraine in one game, while in my current one they are a rump state in NW Germany and with some statelets in a broken-down petty-kingdom England that shattered early.

I do hope they'll make the entity a little more stable going forward, but am happy that they're pretty dynamic regardless.
