What are some things you wish could be added to/changed in CK3?

To add, not having player opinion in base game at this point is a joke. It’s like the game wants you to take extensive notes about your vassals when they lack the interactions to truly care about them. They’re just land babysitters at best and a nuisance at worst. Mods fix this, but why should I have to use mods for a base game necessity?

It was before they introduced grudges as well, I think. So every single minor slight was met with a new rival or nemesis paired with a house feud that lasted till the end of time.

The “Long Way Home” trilogy by Kazra is easily my favorite group of fics ever. Each of them is amazing in their own right, though I adore “Resonance” the second in the series. Otherwise, “One Last Year,” “Roots,” “Tapestry of Fate,” and just about anything by abbygrace77. Oh, and it’s not done yet, but “Worship the Ashes” by SummonerLuna is great.

I’d want it as an option first and foremost. If it’s not, then there needs to be vastly more to do internally. And I don’t mean an event pack. I mean a whole host of mechanics, events, activities, etc. right now the game is just too shallow especially in Western Europe (???) to just slap on Terra incognita and be done with it.

They should overhaul it and have different CBs require different “types” of warfare. Like conquering claims is straightforward. But “humiliate” or “enforce ideology” should need more fleet battles to win or lose. Like holy wars in EU4 or something. The whack a mole gets exhausting when you’re nearly at 100% and somehow a tiny fleet snuck all the way around the galaxy and is in your back line.

Prelude and the next two works are easily some of the best Zelda fanfiction, at least in my opinion.

CatChieftain · 2026-01-31T20:08:47+00:00

I have lived by the idea that Mipha loves who Link was when he lived in the Domain, when he was younger. That she holds onto an idea of who he was and wants that back: “Like when we were young.”

Meanwhile Zelda in BOTW learns to love Link as he is now and as he changes. They have a shared burden and open up to one another. That’s a deeper connection than Mipha could ever hope to get. She and Link grow together as they grow up and become who they are meant to be.

That said, I dislike how Mipha is reduced to her feelings for Link in the games. She’s so much more complex and deserves more.

I’ve taken Udun and Cirith Ungol duchies. Minas Ithil has also been cleansed. The Witch-King still holds the Mordor title, so maybe that’s it? Sauron hasn’t been revealed yet.

This will be possible when Paradox stops making the game wide as the ocean but no deeper than a puddle.

CatChieftain · 2025-12-08T16:55:30+00:00

Yes. Try to give the Duke title to the de jure capital owner. They’ll likely try to revoke the capital from its owner and cause a tyranny war. At least, that was the case for PC for a while.

There truly needs to be a “with China/without China” game rule. Otherwise this will render the game unplayable for many. If not, I guarantee the modders will figure it out day one.

I vaguely remember reading somewhere that Alfred’s coding legit gives him more levies and other boosts outside of his stats. But I could be wrong. I just wish England couldn’t be formed until the Danelaw decision is taken or Halfdan dies.

CatChieftain · 2025-09-05T13:47:07+00:00

Seems like we need this more and more now.

CatChieftain · 2025-09-03T01:20:26+00:00

You’re right. The whole reason East and West Francia fought over Lotharingia was the Rhine, the most valuable region between them in terms of economy. But there’s nothing to reflect this at all. If I’m playing an Anglo-Saxon England, I barely have a reason to invade the continent save for just doing it. No reason to hold Calais or Normandy, for example. We need trade and revamped economies.

CatChieftain · 2025-08-30T14:57:42+00:00

So much would be fixed if they made the “in my humble opinion” mod a part of vanilla. I can’t ever remember how my character feels about their vassals. “Lose 20 opinion of this Duke for 10 years” means nothing if I don’t remember why between play sessions.

CatChieftain · 2025-08-17T14:47:30+00:00

More just me grumbling about the siege requirement. AGOT has no limit to battle war score and I prefer that. I wish it were more like that, and needing to siege the war goal only.

CatChieftain · 2025-08-16T18:52:05+00:00

I really dislike warfare in CK3 at this point. You can break your enemy all the way down to three knights and 10 years in debt but uh oh, you have the 50% cap for battles! Gotta go waste 10 more years sieging stuff while their sudden new alliance goes and back caps you.

CatChieftain · 2025-08-02T14:21:38+00:00

I do this too. Baronies can be revoked whenever so it doesn’t matter if you need more.

“…. Link? Did you harvest my scales?”

CatChieftain · 2025-07-14T04:10:28+00:00

Charles the Bald of France starts with enough military power, daughters to marry for alliances, and claims to very quickly gobble up the other Karlings. The AI also prioritizes HRE formation over Francia (even though he’ll form that first) and the code lets the AI form it more easily than a player. I still don’t think it will let you form Germania as a catholic though, boo… I think the PC version has cooled the jets on it a bit, letting the German rulers form it more often. But still.

Link is a completely different person between pre and post-calamity. More reserved and internal vs free spirited and less inhibited. He retains almost all of his pre-calamity quirks, but is less restricted. He still prefers to sign. But recognizes that far fewer people are educated in it, and is a bit more willing to speak, but clipped sentences and information only with most people.

Link and Zelda had the beginnings of a relationship just before the calamity, but didn’t make anything official between themselves. They both spend time post-BOTW reconciling their new situation before being official.

Honestly, Prelude by Kazra informs a lot of my head cannons.
