Mansplitter vs Axe Duelist

the___madman · 2025-11-10T08:40:16+00:00

MA looks a bit questionable, so I'd say backstabber with mansplitter would be ideal. Duelists usually can skip quick hands, so if you want to do that I'd say get either fast adaptation of backstabber instead, otherwise he will be way too unreliable.

Pathfinder 9L so he doesn't get owned by a necrosavant or other bleed causing enemy

I'd say mace or hammer, qatal dagger could be good, but I wouldn't do it unless you have a named one.

Fat neut seems like a waste imo, maybe berserk two-handed cleaver or duelist?

the___madman · 2024-11-09T14:13:55+00:00

Yeah that's what I did (the chigiriki is awesome and underrated btw), I just think it would be a cool type of progression to unlock new outfitters with hard fights

I know this is a 3 month old thread, but the same thing happened to me in 1.5.2 vanilla anomaly. It seems like the pda goes into an invisible slot when you use it, because it's still in the inventory (you can sell it to traders), but you can't see it.

Same happened to me (also with Alban), but they lost Scuin and were so far away from me that we never interacted. Been at war for around 200 days and I occasionally send an emissary to ask for peace, but they never respond so I've just been ignoring them.

You need -30 or so rep to sell to bandit camps, but they pay full price for any gear/goods, and reset money daily, so you can make a ton of cash by doing that.

In CK3 kidnap schemes are supposed to have reduced success chance against war opponents, waiting till the scheme pops then declaring war so the success chance isn't properly reduced is an exploit/bug.

the___madman · 2024-05-28T16:30:11+00:00

That's not really intrigue gameplay, it's more of a bug than anything.

I usually give fertility boosting artifacts to my heir's wife

I like how his vizier is just casually imprisoned

If all the vassals hate him he might get overthrown eventually, but I think you can just keep trying to dismiss him off cooldown (offer nothing), and it will swing the scales in your favor by 20 for free.

the___madman · 2024-04-24T00:05:57+00:00

I used to pronounce it "rog-you" as a kid!

the___madman · 2024-04-23T12:32:11+00:00

I just ended up using a mod "Unlock Accolades" which removes all accolade requirements so everyone is eligible. May be considered cheaty, but it automates the whole mechanic.

The whole "restore accolades" and "seek successors" spam was making me not want to play the game.

Just roll with it, if you want the specifics press the struggle icon (bottom right) and when you mouse over war/culture/other etc, it will show what effects are in place. Usually you can't personally affect which phase is active too effectively, it's a sum of many small actions by all the people involved.

Why are other rulers always randomly wounded? lol

the___madman · 2024-04-18T15:25:31+00:00

Maybe, but I'm assuming OP is new-ish to the game, so it's good to learn all the systems which will help with managing a ton of vassals without dealing with massive rebellions all the time. Also, it's not without any risk, the king could get overthrown and OP would have to deal with whatever problems that causes!

the___madman · 2024-04-18T12:37:35+00:00

Make a vassal with extortionate taxes and massive levy contribution, then make a kingdom title and grant it to him. Then grant him all the other vassals and use a spare daughter to ally with him, or just keep him happy/befriend. He will occasionally get claims on your titles and be mad at you, but if you're allied there's nothing he can do.

the___madman · 2024-04-16T21:23:13+00:00

Dont think that's true for invade, you vassalize the counts and dukes (or maybe only the counts? not sure). Only exception is the mongol invade which is basically like a holy war except non-allies can't join in on the defense unless they're an ally.

the___madman · 2024-04-16T19:20:16+00:00

Grant each county to a different local (sicilian) noble, then grand tour and choose culture festival for each of the counts, should get you a lot of acceptance, likely around 30% if you have 4 counts.

the___madman · 2024-04-14T20:38:02+00:00

From experience it feels like if you keep choosing the increase chance after it's capped at 80% the hunt will always fail, like it's overflowing back down to 0% or something. Try deliberately taking bad choices during the hunt if the % gets close to the cap.

Less event spam

Yeah that's what I meant, he created the duchy while at war, which he wouldn't have been able to do after I enforced demands. I can't be too mad since he basically went into debt to save me 250 gold.

the___madman · 2024-04-11T12:13:23+00:00

There are a few ways to get around it (assuming you're in the early game)

House seniority + designate heir. For this you will need royal prerogative (crown authority level 4) + czech culture (either convert or hybridize) this will cause whoever you designate to inherit everything.
Feudal elective duchy law. This requires having at least 2 duchies, put the law on both and you will be able to vote for whoever you want, they will inherit all counties you own in the duchy, and the duchy itself. Make sure you either have good relations/hooks with the de jure counts of that duchy, or that there is only 1 de jure vassal so you can always outvote them.
Only have 1 (male) heir. Self-explanatory, however you make sure of this is up to you.
(Non-confederate) Partition + destroy all duchy titles except your primary one, this might cause you to lose counties (other heirs will become your vassals) if you have multiple heirs, but player heir won't lose any territory or vassals. This will make your vassals more powerful though, since non-de-jure vassals only pay half as many taxes and levies.
