Crusader Kings III

[Syt]

So in my first Royal Court action I had to mediate between my rival, a vassal, and..um...myself. I actually sat on my throne and recognized myself in front of me. I ruled against myself and got a -20 opinion against myself.

CK 2/3 events working as usual, then.

I've played about 100 years in my new run and have gone through about 4 rulers. Of those 4, I have had two that have gotten events about incest: one my gay character who wanted to make a move on his brother but I prevented it and one where my character hit on her grandson who caught her masturbating with a shoe. Of course, he was the 4th character that caught her getting it on with inanimate objects.

Feels like incest is happening a little too frequently. And while my last ruler was lustful (so I guess that's why the endless masturbstion), not sure the role playing charm in reading about her repeatedly being caught.

Masturbating is a thing?

Apparently

Though also not a voluntary thing...

If it becomes compulsory, maybe time to see a therapist?

When settling down for a drawn out annoying war with your almost evenly matched brother post-succession, it's pretty satisfying to find out he's sleeping with a random courtier of his and blackmailing him to stop the war

Yeah what's most shocking about medieval Icelandic literature is how much of it there is compared to our neighbors. The Icelandic medieval Old Norse corpus is several orders of magnitude greater than the entire output of the Danes, Norwegians and Swedes put together during the same period. Only the Francian medieval output matches us. Just imagine how many Marvel characters are missing.

The other miracle is that the Christian scribes writing our Sagas like Snorri Sturluson are not at all hung up about their pagan forefathers a couple of generations ago, but take pains to describe how honorable they were even if pagan. I just finished Eyrbyggja Saga a couple months back and I'm in awe of how subtle it is and how you can view what happens both ways.

They did fuck up their interpretation of the religion though. Turning Loki into a straight (or rather omnisexual) devil for instance

Sorry for the late reply but wtf are you on about? Have you ever read a Saga in your life?

Cool and my latest ruler was caught masturbating with an animal skin.

I'm hearing on a CK forum on Facebook that there are wars now over artifacts? So kingdoms go to war because one king wants a spear? Haven't seen that yet; but I think that can be quite stupid, no?

Yep, just like it sounds. And even barring that, there are many people in your dynasty who will get pissed off (I think -60 relations) if you won't give them an artifact they have a claim on.

Not liking that at all.

There were probably dumber reasons for wars in actual history.

In actually history, you could achieve more than just an initial war goal...

Yeah...you could fight a five year war, have thousands dead, hundreds of gold pieces lost, and end up with a nice sword at the end. Would be easier to just forge one.

As seen on the forum.

My only complaint about Royal Court was the sheer amount of bugs and how frequently I can come across them even if a lot of them were minor ones. I just hope this doesn't become a trend where another major publisher starts launching titles/dlcs with massive bugs, I certianly would hate to see PDX fall into that category.
