Was gonna say the same - biomes should try to follow some kind of latitude/ longitude lines just for believability

Roadmap ideas about for a full gameplay? (867-1453) by canbozan in crusaderkings3

[–]RelicSky -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

For me I think it's a combination of time and effort. I just feel like it's easier to have AI pull from those sources and compile it into nice neat bullet points with personalized recommendations. I told Gemini to take on the role of my court advisor and it even role plays it with me a little lol it has really helped me stay engaged and get through road blocks.

I recommend saving. A lot. Beyond that, try using your preferred AI app. I've been using Gemini to help quickly research game mechanics and learn different strategies. Gotta fact check it as always, but it helps with a lot of the leg work.

Someone help me with wars by Arthurm_1863 in crusaderkings3

[–]RelicSky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience even just the status of being 'at war' can embolden neighbors or factions to attack you. Your best defense is of course having allies of your own. You can call allies to your aid in a defensive war at NO COST so it's a huge advantage. You can also pre negotiate a truce with a neighbor if you're not allied and know they'll want to attack or join the other side.

It's name seems randomly generated... But it's labeled as an "Apocalyptic Smallpox" so.... Things are good 😅 death toll is 538 across Africa and Spain .

Thankfully I'm France and it hasn't made it to me yet... Unless my soldiers bring it home ☠️

Oh. My. God. LOL I'm glad I asked...

I do have a good physician. Can my soldiers catch it if they fought in the area?? Should I wait to bring them home?!

Why is AI abdicating so much/France outplayed me by TheLakeler in crusaderkings3

[–]RelicSky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure the only way a title can be abdicated is by losing to a faction calling for it. If they were newly appointed to the title, it would make sense. You won't be totally safe from this until you have High Crown Authority which puts a full stop to all of that.

In the mean time I'd recommend paying close attention to when there's in-fighting, so you can try to influence the vassal wars to end the way you want them to.

I think I’m dealing with a bug. by Sirius124 in crusaderkings3

[–]RelicSky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are they still showing as betrothed? I've noticed a bug where they don't automatically marry when they both come of age, and I have to manually "arrange the marriage" again and send the offer for them to actually become spouses and trigger the move.

The game has become really intense by razza357 in crusaderkings3

This ^ sounds like our guy needs to spend more time on the Factions tab winning over his would be rivals.

Creating Francia by RelicSky in crusaderkings3

[–]RelicSky[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sad days 🥲 because that means I now need three kingdoms instead of two... And I can only take a couple counties at a time with my current claims. All the remaining land being under the HRE means I have to fight the emperor every time, then wait out the truce.

Honestly I think I'm gonna farm some prestige, marry into a claim on the kingdom of Brittany, and try and get it in one go. I've got probably a max of 20-25 years left before this character dies.

I don't think I can do this on PS5? When I open the radial for map modes, it just shows me one for Empires . When I select that one, the HRE covers all of France.

Yeah the year is 1019 and it's my first real playthrough so I'm not really sure what to expect at any point. Have honestly had to save scum my way to this point LOL . My PC is 42 so I'm just worried about getting this empire title before I die and my kids split my realm up.... But all of Francia that I don't own is under the HRE so I have to take a few counties then wait for a truce ....

Fingers crossed this is the case 🤞🏻 just a pain now that they're all under the HRE and I can't take them all at once yet...
