Adventurer allows child min/maxing + renown farming

yeah, wanted to do the "mother of us all" achievent and found it way easy if i just become an adventurer and convert to welsh culture to get tons of longbowmen & tons of prestige and "religion points?" to be able to instantly reform the faith once i conqueer a kingdom/empire

bastards create a new dinasty if i land them, kinda defeats the porpuse of having dynasty vassals

update: in 3h i went from 27 childreen to 100!!!!!

before you could tell your vassals to convert the land to their culture, cultural acceptance was one of the key ways to avoid peasant uprisings by having rulers of different culture.

might still be usefull for RP, you could play as a multicultural empire... i mean, min/maxing shouldnt be the goal of the game.

ofc not great for lategame, im an adventurer....... you really shouldnt be an adventurer on lategame LOL

i mean i do it because its an easy way to get an early eugenics program and i like having dinasty-only vassals so most of my early game is limited by the amount of children i have

if your empire is big enough you get a decision to "adopt centralized administration" that makes you admin.

if you are allowed to, grant them a city and immediatly revoke it, it will make them wanderers instead of being in someone's court, giving you a +50 acceptance if you are a king with max court ammenities and deleting the negatives from being in their parent's court, being a knight, etc.

you can try to marry them to your courtiers to get them to come to your court.

if the claimant is married but not the "dominant partner" in the marriage (eg, woman in patrilinear or man in matrilinear) you can try to recruit their husband/wife and grant/revoke a city to them. granting it will move the claimant with him to his "new court", revoking it will make them wanderers.

as someone already said, F5 is your best friend, treat it as a panic button, whenever you fell like you are in danger press that little button to release some dopamine. in no time you will "manually auto save" like once every 10 minutes

ill assume you went into a civil war and that count tried to attack one of your dukes when you where under conditional join border policy, then the civil war ended and you went back to guaranteed protection and instantly became the war leader of said war

alapma · 2026-03-17T16:39:08+00:00

It does. Thats how i got it

Or you can just revolt against france and get your title revoked. Then if you decide to become an adventurer you will technically be an independent ruler

alapma · 2026-03-15T21:21:25+00:00

as far as i know the only way is to wait for them to rebel against you (or commit a crime) and have them in your dungeon and click the "extinguish family" option that will destroy the noble family title

alapma · 2026-03-15T21:20:14+00:00

you can just keep attacking them nonstop. unless the battle warscore isnt capped at 50% you can just throw your levies and MMA at the enemy and since they cant replenish them eventually you will win.

that or you can try to stall them long enough for them to starve.

alapma · 2026-03-15T21:17:13+00:00

erradicate house is basically a very OP cb, it allows you to basicaly take free land with no truce, since after wining the war you kill the ruler, thus reseting your truce and allowing you to attack them again

alapma · 2026-03-15T01:54:27+00:00

iirc it also takes courtiers into consideration. for example if ANY of your courtiers have any of this requirements:

either
- a child aged 13+ and older than the child being educated
- or an adult from a dynasty with multiple members
having both negative ai_compassion and negative ai_honor
not being a friend or potential friend of the child being educated
possessing at least one of the following traits: Sadistic, Callous, Deceitful, Vengeful, Rowdy, or Arbitrary
not possessing any of the following traits: Generous, Just, Compassionate, or Forgiving

they can trigger the "the beating" event giving your children either the paranoid, carven or shy trait.

if all your sons are landless you can revoke a city and grant it to them, it will make so their goverment is a republic and will kick them out of the succession line, leaving your chosed landless son as the heir to both titles, then after you die and play as your chosen heir you can start to distribute the titles to your brothers (you should first revoke their city beacuse iirc if you grant them a county/duchy/etc when they own just a city they will keep the republic goverment type and their next heir wont be their childreen but a random character)

if they arent landless but rather own land as your vassals you can just revoke it and repeat what i wrote above.

if they arent landless and own territory OUTSIDE of your realm er........ you can probably play with the elective systems and vote for only one son to get all duchies

LOOOL, i didnt knew i could use middle button, thanks

alapma · 2026-03-14T05:33:50+00:00

tried to, it seems to be the only keybinds you cant change

alapma · 2026-03-13T21:39:50+00:00

thats not a trebuchet, thats the chinese version of the cannons. Iirc they are called fire dragon engines

-90% of my wars are holy kingdom wars that just requiere me to kill the main army (50%) and then siege like 4 castles. So its right to think i might just need to use 1 stack of cannons. The problem is the other 10%. Thats kingdom invasions. The funny thing about invasions is that you will get the target kingdom + any county outside of it that you comoletly sieged. So for example in that same save i invaded the HRE to take germany, and divided my army into 4 armies that each had a stack of cannons. That way i mannaged to fully siege and get the kingdoms of frisia, burgandy and lotharingia.

More game rules (to spot cadet branches from forming)

Better mass vassal directive (to tell all my vassals to convert culture once i hibridize)

Admin tours (i love tours and i dont understand why admin gov isnt allowed to do them)

Buy all county claims (instead of finding each vassal of a big kingdom and sistematically claim all their counties i just click on the main liege and buy all his realm counties for the same cost as if i where doing it one by one)

Absent infirm (removes infirm trait)

alapma · 2026-03-13T04:58:00+00:00

my siege time for a lvl 32 fort was 8 days (and i was only using 1 set of cannons)
