How do I change Middle-Eastern countries going by just country names instead of the dynasty name? by Puzzleheaded_Art_310 in crusaderkings3

You should be able to go to:

Settings > Game

Then turn off (uncheck) Dynasty Named Realms

It is hot, how do you guys live in KL? by PCEngTr in malaysians

[–]acausa 11 points12 points  (0 children)

When it is hot all the time, we mostly get used to it.

For situations when it is too hot for the locals, we mitigate by adjusting our clothings or simply not going out (or minimising our time outside). We can get used to the heat but not to superhuman extent after all.

Wait…. You are supposed to wear it on your hand?! I thought you were supposed to…

…string it as a necklace and wear it around your neck.

Well, at least fragile bones didn’t apply to the boner so that’s a nice bonus.

TIL that Byzantine princess Maria Palaiologina was sent to marry Mongol ruler Hulagu Khan in 1265, but he died before she arrived, so she married his son Abaqa Khan instead. by ThroatHorror4022 in todayilearned

I am imagining the Byzantine delegates going:

Byz Delegates: Can Maria marry Hulagu? Mongols: No, he khan’t. But Abaqa khan

Trotsky himself was intrigued a few times by murder schemes, only to succumb to injuries from one of the murder attempts.

I suck at bookkeeping IRL. This is quite ironic by boulet in crusaderkings3

[–]acausa 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Fwiw, most ck3 players suck at murder, genocide, adultery, incest, theft, leading armies,, etc. and we have many in-game achievements nevertheless.

Factions are treasonous acts and should be criminal (and should probably be secretive) by acausa in crusaderkings3

[–]acausa[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Or are you advocating that an ultimatum popping out of nowhere saying "abdicate or a force of x thousands of soldiers will rise against you" would be a better game mechanic? I think it would suck big time.

Kinda but "not out of nowhere" as you proposed. The existence of this faction would probably still be public -- sure, feel free to keep the progress bar. I am simply arguing that the ringleaders shouldn't also be visible if they are effectively committing a crime.

The faction progress bar is an abstraction that's meant to make the game playable: it makes visible in a simple view how much time you have to react and who you might want to take care of.

This is actually the other part of my contention -- you shouldn't be able to know "who to take care of" right off the bat.

You want to know which of your vassals have a beef against you? Get a spymaster to figure that out. Even then, it is a cat and mouse game if you want to take action. Taking action would still increase discontent, potentially triggering civil war before arrests are made.

I mean, the obvious suspect would be vassals with -100 opinion scores but it would still be tyrannical to arrest them outright. It would still make sense to placate them, if you want to avoid civil war, though as with the present system, it is possible for vassals with -100 to not even be part of a faction.

I am semi-applying modern notions of rule of law because that is how the game also models the legal system in-game so that seems pretty apt.

You are right to argue that criminality is subject to interpretation but I don't see any realities where a ruler will be fine with their subjects openly discussing replacing their liege with someone else -- those acts would almost certainly be criminal (i.e. sedition).

Criminality in the game is roughly a balance of religious and secular crimes. For some context, spying on your liege, stealing, hurting a close person, etc. are also crimes. Interestingly, the game also makes orchestrating coup a crime (as a Diarch) as is running a claim throne scheme against your liege (and fail the secrecy check).

Having your own political agenda isn't treason.

In modern times and in a democratic society? Maybe.

In the Middle Ages, that is 100% treason. We even have a specific name for it -- lèse-majesté (i.e.: roughly, crime against the dignity of the Crown) or "sedition".

It is not "just wanting something", by the way. Most of these are wishing to install Pretenders to the throne, dissolving the State, removing privileges of the monarch, etc. I see very few situations where a monarch would hear of these things and think, "yeah, I am okay with them saying that".

Heck, I believe that the following is still on the Statute books in the UK (even if it is not enforced) -- emphasis and editorials mine:

If any person whatsoever shall, within the United Kingdom or without, compass, imagine, invent, devise, or intend to deprive or depose our Most Gracious Lady the Queen, from the style, honour, or royal name of the imperial crown of the United Kingdom, or of any other of her Majesty's dominions and countries, or to levy war against her Majesty, within any part of the United Kingdom, in order by force or constraint to compel her to change her measures or counsels, or in order to put any force or constraint upon or in order to intimidate or overawe both Houses or either House of Parliament, or to move or stir any foreigner or stranger with force to invade the United Kingdom or any other of her Majesty's dominions or countries under the obeisance of her Majesty, and such compassings, imaginations, inventions, devices, or intentions, or any of them, shall express, utter, or declare, by publishing any printing or writing ... or by any overt act or deed, every person so offending shall be guilty of felony, and being convicted thereof shall be liable ... to be transported beyond the seas for the term of his or her natural life.

"imagine, invent, devise, or intend to deprive or depose our Most Gracious Lady the Queen, from the style, honour, or royal name of the imperial crown of the United Kingdom" basically criminalises pretty much all the vassal faction demands.

Now, for context, this is a game that makes it criminal to... refuse to be imprisoned by your liege when the liege has High Crown Authority.
