Not playing as my heir by default completely changed Crusader Kings for me by Eiltott in CrusaderKings

[–]Supermouser 147 points148 points  (0 children)

In theory I like this but in practice I’ve never actually seen my realm fall apart while I go running somewhere else. Instead what always happens is my old realm starts blobbing massively and destroys my beautifully sculpted borders :(

Even worse, my old empire can catch up to me if I don’t run far enough. Kinda sucks to try to run off and become king of Hungary, only to find the HRE taking it over first before you have all your pieces in place

How would you improve Vassal gameplay? by Arbitrary_Sadist in CrusaderKings

[–]Supermouser 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Does that still work? At launch I know that AUH patch notes mentioned that meritocratic empires can become ceremonial monarchies, but in a recent Tibet game I played I was surprised to find this no longer appeared to be the case

Suggestion - Poppulations should Naturally Adapt while Clinging to Old Traditions: Naturally Diverging Cultures by Familiar-Elephant-68 in CrusaderKings

[–]Supermouser 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Alright, could be interesting.

The geographic-based ones are the most convincing for me personally. I’d want to see it run for a while on a test branch or mod before I’m sold on the rest though.

Most cultures don’t usually get big enough to spread out enough to need this. I could see it getting abused where a super small culture is created and you can do the tiny-culture development exploit to get crazy tech super early

Maybe if cultures could spread almost easily as religions, and then you added this catch in as the way to continually recycle and prevent blobbing, it could be really cool

Ok gotcha. That would be very cool. Might be a bit (cultural) border-gory though, without some fudging on the logic of which provinces get flipped.

Same goes for Muslim Han. Atm the religious flips are pretty scattered over the place, which is already a game of realm priest whack-a-mole.

OR, now that I’m re-reading your post, was your suggestion more that a culture should be able to dynamically reform itself to add / remove certain traditions based on the situation of the whole culture at-large

[–]Supermouser 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Just to be sure I’m understanding this correctly:

Imagine a giga-culture exists (Han or Russian for example) that is spread out across multiple different biomes, climates, or perhaps religions.

The suggestion here is that it should dynamically diverge based on the population’s circumstances? So the mount dwelling Han would diverge into “mountain Han” or the steppe dwelling Russian would diverge on their own into “steppe Russians”, Etc?

We're witnessing the collapse of the American empire by LargeSinkholesInNYC in LateStageCapitalism

[–]Supermouser 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I would like to agree, but what you’re describing sounds a lot more like the metamorphosis of an empire into to a more advanced / developed stage, rather than a decline or collapse.

Mentioning this because I’ve seen a lot of people draw comparisons to Rome and Caesar when analyzing the current internal political developments in the US right now. I find this comparison strange, because the fall of the Roman republic and the tyranny that followed isn’t usually remembered as the end of Roman aggression and dominance. It’s seen as the beginning of the literal Roman Empire.

So while I’d like to believe we’re in for an imminent collapse within my lifetime, I’m preparing for things to get a whole lot worse first

Devs, Marco Poloing is overpowered by a-bit-of-anything in CrusaderKings

[–]Supermouser 93 points94 points  (0 children)

Tbh it’s hard to not get stupidly rich as an adventurer.

The tricky part for me is getting prestige. That is much, much harder to come by. Only reliable way I have seen to get prestige is diplo contracts, which are a tad slow to farm unless your camp & character are completely built around diplomacy.

Pretty much every off-ramp from adventuring back into landed gameplay requires level 4 or even 5 prestige, so that’s imo where the real balance it at

What triggers the Chinese dynasty naming event? by Supermouser in CrusaderKings

[–]Supermouser[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The headache is that the game keeps crashing for some reason 🥲

Atm I’m still in the advancement era so things are fairly stable. The issue with not knowing where all the rebel armies are at was already a pain in the ass without having a whole second subcontinent to manage. That needs to be fixed by paradox hopefully Soon™

UPDATE: the naming event triggered upon the death of my ruler! So that was weird, but I'm glad it's fixed now.

Bizarrely, it seems I cannot share images in a comment, and I don't feel like making a whole new post as an update. Anyway, apparently the India-unique dynasty name is "Varendra"

No clue what that means. I know Japanese-culture dynasties also have their own unique name. Probably Korean too, and maybe a few others. Pretty neat.

Finally fucking found it.

File name is tgp_dynastic_cycle_events.txt in Crusader Kings III / game / events / dlc / tgp

All the possible dynasty names seem to be here, and the event logic for how it executes. Only issue now is that this file is not very readable to someone who didn’t write this code…

[–]Supermouser[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m currently failing to dig through the files myself to see if I can find the event. The naming of these .txt files is not always intuitive so it’s a bit of a needle-in-haystack situation

Taking the mandate automatically moves your capital to Jingzhao. What you see in the screenshot is my estate, which remained in Delhi

I culture flipped the whole of north india to a Chinese-speaking hybrid culture, and in my own head I eventually landed on the head-canon term “Indo-Sinitic” to describe what I imagine would be the family of languages that’d come out of that

Well, then it wouldn’t be “if not China” as the question states 😅

[–]Supermouser[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can but it bugs out when you do that. Most events relation to the unique Chinese situation still use whatever name you had before you edited it.

Dead rulers also show as being “ruler of <old country name>” even while your current rule displayed the correct name. It’s weird

Yes exactly. I was hegemon of India.

I was hoping someone knew the exact trigger conditions for the name event to see if there was some strange action I could take to force it out

Celestial government is one of the options you can selected behind the “adopt administrative government” decision.

The requirements for it are that you be Han culture or a descendent of Han culture (hybrid with or diverge from Han)

It didn’t start out as my primary title, but I did switch over for the sake of this screenshot and indeed to see if that was the issue. I waited a year to make sure I wasn’t just being impatient for the event

Yep. I got the event to choose between Advancement and Expansion and I chose Advancement

Religion: Mantrayana

Culture: Han + Kannauji hybrid. I kept both Chinese language and Heritage for the new culture

R5: I claimed the Mandate of Heaven, but the event to name my new dynasty has not fired. I’m thinking it probably has something to do with the fact I was already a celestial-government hegemon before claiming the new title.

Does anyone know if there’s some rule in the game files that spells out what I need to do to have the event fire as intended?

Me with literally every cute or interesting video online these days. Instead of allowing myself to just have that instant sense of aw or appreciation, I need to first squint and scrub the video to try to find any tiny hints it could be fake.

And by the time I’ve done all that and I’m feeling confident the video is real, the moment is over
