Crusader Kings III

[Zanza]

According to Steamcharts, CK3 has roughly three times the active player base of Victoria 3 - 12.5k vs 4.5k players on average last month. HoI4 has like 33k, EU4 has 13k, Stellaris has 11k, but was above the others most of the last year. Now that does not directly related to game revenue, but I guess the Vic3 player base will not sustain long term development like the other games.

Four people are still playing EU:Rome 

Looking at those stats I didn't realize how niche these games are. Even Anno 1800, which I would have considered a leading game in the genre, only has 2,500 active players.

[Zanza]

Anno 1800 has only been recently sold via Steam and before that was exclusively available via Ubisoft Connect.
So I guess most of the Anno player base does not show on Steam Charts.

I guess Paradox games are also available via other means, so the figures above are just an indication, not absolute facts.

2.5 million copies of Anmo 1800 sold

I feel the number may be higher in actuality. The Invictus mod is still very active. They're mostly focused on a Vanilla Plus experience and fleshing out the factions on the map more.

Right, that makes more sense.

I suppose almost everyone who bought EU:Rome did it pre-Steam as well.

[Tamas]

Another sign that I am not the target audience: was browsing the Steam Workshop for something reducing event frequency across the board. Although there was one such old mod which according to comments isn't working, I have only found the opposite: some mods making events more frequent.

CK3 changelog:

1.11 Peacock Changelog�

Legacy of Persia Features�

• Added the Iranian Intermezzo Struggle covering the conflict in Iran between the Caliphate and resurgent Iranian dynasties. The struggle can be ended by fulfilling one of three decisions or by triggering the "Concession" ending phase. During the struggle supporters and detractors of the Caliph will have access to new rules, decisions, interactions and events.
• Added a new Dynasty Legacy: Brilliance, focusing on reclaiming the glory of the old dynasties of Persia.
• Added a new UI Skin for Iranian Heritage cultures and characters living in the region.
• New Portrait Assets: added new hairstyles, clothes, and beards in the Greater Iranian region.
• Added many new events, decisions and interactions when playing in the Greater Iranian area relating to the new Struggle, Zoroastrianism, Islam, Clan realms, characters traveling in the Iranian Region, Tax Collectors, and more.
• Added a number of new Cultural Traditions to Iranian culture: Fierce Independence, Pragmatic Creed, Jirga, Enlightened Magnates, Beacon of Learning, Irrigation Experts, and Frontier Warriors.
• Added new types of Men at Arms: Asawira (unlocks within the Brilliance dynasty legacy), Tarkhan (unlocks from Frontier Warriors), Zupin (unlocks from Pragmatic Creed), and Tawashi (unlocks from Fierce Independence).
• Added two Extra Tax Decrees when playing inside the Iranian region. Dehqan and Maguh. For more about tax decrees see Clan Vassals under Free Features.
• Added a new Court Scholar court position for cultures with the Beacon of Learning cultural tradition. When employed, court scholars will over time increase in skill and good or excellent Court Scholars can be sponsored to create a Research Project inspiration, resulting in new innovations for your culture or new modifiers for your clan. Court Scholars also have an increased chance of gaining the book or alchemy inspirations.
• Added a new Master Assassin court position which boosts murder schemes. Rulers with a faith that belongs to a faith with the Fedayeen tenet can recruit Master Assassins.
• Added 3 new struggle music tracks as well as 3 new Persian Region Mood Tracks.

Free Features�

• Added a new bookmark page for Iran in 867, with recommended playable characters and biographies.
• House Unity is a new measure of the internal stability in the ruling house of a Clan realm. Unity comes in 5 levels, from Antagonistic to Harmonious and is shaped by the actions taken by clan members towards each other. Clans with high unity levels will enjoy a high level of internal stability while making conquest harder while those with a low unity level will be better at conquering new lands but be internally unstable. Each level unlocks special rules, decisions, interactions and abilities.
• Clan Vassals can now be assigned to Tax Jurisdictions, handled by a Tax Collector. Depending on the aptitude of the Tax Collector and what Tax Decree is assigned to the Jurisdiction the associated Vassals will provide and enjoy different benefits and penalties. The existing Vassal obligations, Ghazi, Iqta and Jizya, are now Tax Decrees in the new system.
• Viziers: Clan realms of duchy tier or above can now assign a landless character to be their Vizier. Viziers provide extra tax jurisdictions and their aptitude helps all tax collectors in the realm. The more empowered they are the bigger the benefits, though Viziers may also try to embezzle your funds. Vizier excesses can be fined via the Mulct interaction. A Vizier can also substitute your spouse in the confidant counselor position, if you desire.
• When starting in 867 the Turkic Seljuk dynasty will now invade Iran in the late 10th century, an associated game rule can regulate when the invasion happens.
• Added event chain for the Zanj Rebellion in lower Mesopotamia shortly after the start of the 867 campaign.
• Added a number of new special buildings in the Iranian region: The Minaret of Jam, the Walls of Gorgan, Alamut Castle, Falak-ol-Aflak Citadel, the Dome of Soltaniyeh, The Rainbow Mountains, the Imam Reza Shrine, the Sar-i Sang mines, the Ark of Bukhara, the Tomb of Batsheba, and Maharloo Lake Necropolis of Rostam, Tomb of Cyrus the Great, Palace of Ctesiphon, and the ancient Mines of Sar-i Sang.

Balance�

• Cost for disinheriting bastard children or children with disputed heritage is lowered. If the illegitimacy is a secret and the father knows the secret, the cost is lowered and the secret is revealed.
• Certain Wars will now resolve quicker, as the warscore from battles and attacker occupations have been increased by 150%: conquests (county & duchy), holy war (county & duchy), subjugation, vassalization, struggle clash, border raid, expel interloper, and excommunication war.
• Conquest & Invasion CBs now have a dynamic cost scaling with realm size, this should make the CB's cheaper for smaller realms and more expensive for very large ones.
• Chthonic Redoubts are no longer impossible to convert in Mountains (-75% instead of -100%).
• De Jure CBs are now available one era earlier than before.
• Forming the HRE is now possible using any core Carolingian kingdom, not just East Francia, and the De Jure can now include the Empire of Francia if West Francia or enough Francian kingdoms are part of the realm of the one forming the HRE.
• Rebalanced the Piety & Prestige costs for Conquests and Invasions to make them more accessible for smaller realms.
• Reduced prestige gain from Amenities and exceeding your Grandeur level.
• Reduced prestige gain from the Marauder Accolade.
• Removed all sources of prestige % gain bonus from innovations to reduce inflation (total 20%).
• Significantly reduced Prestige gain from Artifacts (monthly gains, prestige per dread/knight, etc).
• Slightly reduced prestige % bonuses from Diplomacy lifestyle perks.
• Slightly reduced prestige from the Bodyguard position.
• Switched some innovations around for Arabic Heritage cultures so that the Caliph can revoke titles on game start.
• The AI should now have a much easier time forming the HRE from an 867 start.
• The AI no longer pays Prestige to revoke Court Positions, as they would never abuse court positions in the first place - and the prestige loss would cause them to fairly often be unable to declare wars.
• The Mongols now get better Siege Engineer characters.
• The Mongols now have a bonus to cavalry damage and toughness, to offset their lack of Stationing Bonuses.
• The Mongols now spawn with trebuchets instead of mangonels.
• Harm events will no longer target the player by default, only the AI.
• Increased the odds of successfully getting through harm events unscathed from 80:20/50:50/60:40 for poor/average/good options to 40:60/60:40/70:30.
• Reduced the overall likelihood of harm events of all kinds by an order of magnitude (except for the general incapability due to age chainlet), and of incapability foreboding events specifically by a further half again.
• Camel cavalry accolade only gives bonuses to camel cavalry.
• The Create Cadet Branch is now available for Clan Members only if they are in another realm than their House Head.
• Some common activity pulse actions now grant mystic lifestyle experience for pilgrimages and witch rites.
• If you have an epiphany about the sanctity of nature during a hunt you will also get some mystic lifestyle experience (this is another activity pulse action, though somewhat rarer than the very common one for pilgrimages).
• You will get Mystic Lifestyle experience for visiting points of interest in religious sites and wonders while traveling. This is not restricted to religious sites of your own religion, and it also means it's easier to get mystic XP once more grand cathedrals are built up later in the game.
• Added Mystic Lifestyle experience to some events, mainly travel ones that already had to do with mystics.
• Holding a mystical communion will grant some mystic xp.
• AI�
• Lowered the value of higher tier alliances and increased the penalty for Female above 30 years.

Interface�

• Character modifiers can be now clicked and display an expanded view of all existing modifiers. Players can now see all modifiers on the character, and not only the first 10 items.
• Show a difficulty warning in the lobby for rulers in regency.
• Remove decision_custom_widget_container option from decision configuration window.
• Remove decision_has_second_step for decisions. Now if a decision needs to use the custom step, the decision must specify decision_to_second_step_button.

• Added Legacy Track Illustration (Brilliance).
• Art Script: Split up the portrait modifiers to different files with groups based on priority. Higher priority value means it will override any modifiers with lower priority. This way we don't have to weigh everything against everything else; instead, we can know with certainty that armors, for example, will always override regular clothes. Scripted characters are now found in the priority just above base modifiers, with priority 2.
• Art Script: Changed the old way of assigning accessories to scripted characters. Instead of per-accessory we now do per-character. So, each character has a single entry in a single file where all their accessories are added. This goes for developer characters as well.

• Game Content�
• Added a new set of unique succession laws for Clan, activated by the Unity level.

• Changed bookmark field from default = yes/no to weight = scriptablevalue, used to determine default bookmark.
• Databases�
• Updated databases for landholders throughout Iran, ensuring that there are more historical characters to play as, and that all rulers have a suitable amount of vassals on start.
• Updated the 867 start date to better reflect the ongoing conflicts as part of implementing the Iranian Intermezzo struggle.
• Updated the cultural and faith setup of the Greater Iranian region, including adding the new Brahui culture.
• Armenian rulers in 867 and 1066 now start religiously protected, to avoid their faith disappearing much too quickly every game.

• Added the Sayyid trait to some characters from the Hammudid house who were missing it.

Bug Fixes�

• Temporal, for life doctrine does not allow for the unlimited firing of court chaplains anymore. Except for the first time after starting the game. That one is a freebee. Under the Temporal Clerical Appointment doctrine, the Realm Priest or Court Chaplain seat will not get auto-filled the moment the previous holder dies.

• Unlocked a load of struggle parameters that were previously hardlocked to the Iberian struggle in script, making them a bit more mod-friendly.

• Fixed an issue where calling a baron to an offensive war would deduct 700+ prestige.
• Infants will no longer get Wet Nurse events about child development.
• Incapable Clan Vassals will no longer demand your children.

The new features for Clans sound interesting. Not exactly a Muslim rework, but a bit more than before.

[Tamas]

This sounds very good except the drastic reduction of harm events and default removal of them from the player. do I understand it right that random events hurting your character are now off? Why even bother with all these other mechanics of they are turning into The Sims?

[Syt]

I guess some lowering of the odds was in order. If you had the events target the AI and had them at default setting, I ended up having tons and tons of incapacitated folk everywhere. Like 20-30% rulers I tried to interact with were incapacitated. It was ridiculous. And if you lowered the odds it was completely toothless.

That said, it should be pretty straightforward to mod this.

[garbon]

There is an option in game rules called 'random harm target'? Perhaps that is what is defaulting to AI only rather than anyone? If so, no modding needed, just switch the selection.

[Tamas]

Dark Ages mod which addresses this easiness seems to have been updated already, which is nice: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2975514448

[Solmyr]

Syt, you are the modding master, care to critique my mod list? I am planning to use it for the new update once the mods are updated. Is there anything good missing, or is there anything crap on the list?

I also have Historic Invasions and Dark Ages downloaded, but the first I'm worried is a bit too deterministic, and the second I'll probably try out later once I'm familiar with all the more recent game mechanics (and I'm not sure if it overhauls a bit too much for my taste).

[Syt]

Uhm, looks ok, I guess?

I usually play without "Invite" mods - I just go and marry my courtiers to "fill ranks".

Is Better AI Education still needed? I was hoping the Wards DLC would make this superfluous.

I've not tried Catholic Trinity; every time I wanted to play it was out of date.

I really liked Medieval Arts + Medieval Arts - More Special Buildings, but it seems the mod maker is taking a break: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2452585382
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2692079378

I always play with Councilor's Experience Trait, which ranks up councillors in their position over time. So even that vassal who has twice as many troops as you and insists on being your steward even though he only as 2 points in it, will gain at least a bit of proficiency (currently not updated). https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2721974781

Ketaros' "Population Variations" is also a good one. It adds more variety of traits to characters generated by the game: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2894033194

A big one for me is RUI:Character which overhauls the character menu: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2838140104
It may feel strange at first, but I hate to miss it. That said, check compatibility with other mods - if anything modifies the character window in any way, it most likely needs a patch of sorts.

Courtier child care is a near quality of life mod that helps making sure your courtiers' offspring get properly edumacated: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2675976449

Better Africa Plus adds more diversity to African cultures.

I notice, though, many mods are currently still not updated (though some may still be compatible with the latest patch), so if I play anytime soon it'll probably be with a quite reduced list or vanilla.

[Solmyr]

Thanks.

Catholic Trinity looks to actually be updated to 1.11 currently (although game is 1.11.0.1 so launcher claims it's out of date).

Population Variations looks good, I was considering adding it as well.

I actually had RUI:Character before, but currently I use Character UI Overhaul which I guess would clash badly. The latter is also updated to the latest patch.
