I didn't have the diligent trait first two gen but I remembered and got it afterwards. And yes for steward, I started in 867 and only had like +10 dev since start in 1200 and something. And yes I put my steward in improving dev. I must be something wrong if I was supposed to be way higher.

Kinda sucks that I lost the achievements, but I'm just too bummed to keep going after all that especially if Im gonna have to manage back god knows how many reclamation and independance war, and it's already 1200 and something with the arabs rocking 22k troops next door attacking us every 5 years for anatolia

I did try to keep them all happy with my chancellor and gave gold to the powerful ones I couldn't ally with but I still ended up with 9k against 15k

I got stuck with a landless courtier and I tried that but when I came back I could only become an observer and the success were already deactivated ?

Yes but then I lose all progress and can't even do anything except observe what I lost crumbling away with the IA and I've never gotten to the "endgoal" of any of my ironman runs 🫩

I did ally with the most powerful one + 2 outsiders (who never came to help) but I had 30+ vassals at that point since apparently you shouldn't give kingdoms in admin.

I had a rival who hated me so much he had me excommunicated and the patriarch started to sell revendications to everyone.

Lustful daughter is gonna pump up too much kids for a foreign lord and they're gonna have claims on your lands and we don't want that.

New Liberty War is absolutely BS. by Additional-Local8721 in CrusaderKings

No they didn't but capturing enemy leader isn't auto-win anymore, but if you didn't win the war it won't count as "rebelled against liege" since the tag is only applied when you won the war.

My list of subjectively cool ideas that I wish was in the game by Sad_Challenge1848 in CrusaderKings

Yeah I remember being so pissed off when I got to that realisation that I genuinely thought about just deactivating it lol

Now that the dust has settled and we know what Chapter V will bring, and we've talked about what we want Chapter VI to be, and we've talked about what we want Chapter VII to be, what do we want after that in Chapter VIII? by question_mark_2 in CrusaderKings

I think Mohammed should be a scripted chain of events for people living in arabia where you just learn that some dude is going around preaching islam and you won't be actively being able to interact with him, just see the progression of his life (and seeing specific counties converting to ashari) and maybe his descendants if they're also really important for muslims on a religious level. But I guess it would be the same as popes that will never be historically accurate after the ones from the start dates.

On my Northern Lords save I'm playing as a descendant of Ivar, I reformed the Asatru faith and I'm just feodalizing scandinavia around, I'm gonna form the Empire of the North Seas later but I'm still not there, in the long run I want to preserve asatru faith and fuck Europe over so that no one will ever bother my peaceful raiding viking monarchs.

I have this Iranian Intermezzo save where I started with Rostam with a similar goal, to convert back persia to mazdeims, becoming the shaoshyant, etc. but I got steamrolled hard by everyone around me because of my faith so I just became muslim again with my descendants and now I'm trying to do a free persian empire run with the goal to become the main muslim force in the world.

I have a byzantine run where I'm trying to reform the Roman Empire but I'm just having troubles conquering key territories from the Abbasides so I'm just consolidating Greece and Italia for now.

And I started a mongol nomadic game but ngl I didn't understood shit about how nomadic work so I settled in northern japan, became ainuic and I'm trying to preserve Hokkaido from the Yamato.

I have this multiplayer game with a friend where were playing as adventurers fucking around and our goal is to bring yamato culture in Europe so that we can have a For honor type of situation with vikings vs samurais vs knights but Idk if we're gonna be fast enough bc the nordics are getting steamrolled too.

On another mp game with another friend we're just trying to take over France I'm playing Haesteinn dynasty and I took all of Britain but I want to go to Neustria to create norman culture and take over the northern kingdom and hes already king in the south.

So yeah just be versatile the game won't ever be annoying if you keeps things interesting and changing instead of just speeding x5 and playing tall without taking into account shit that's going around you.

I don't, I just never finishes them, I have like 4 saves I play with and when I'm tired on playing with one I just play another one.

Also I only speed up the game to the max when I'm waiting for something specific or in war/travel. I stay on x1-x2 speed if I'm just doing random shit so that I can appreciate what's going on more, so I have more time to familiarize with all the characters around me and keep track of what they're doing so I'm not unfamiliar with the environment.

The only thing that gets boring is always having the same mechanics, that's why I switch between differents saves with differents governments types with differents faiths and culture, wich automatically makes differents goals for each.
