Crusader Kings III

Deus Vult!!!

Back in 2012 I bought CK2 more or less on release. Generally a fan of Paradox Interactive and many many hours have gone into CK2, EUIV, HoI2 and Stellaris.

Has anyone bought CK3 yet? I have not but are thinking of getting it soon. I've heard it's more of an RPG with a basic morality system.

Reviews are also good.

I'm thinking of getting it because I've heard the game play is a little easier to get to grips with compared to CK2. Didn't actually realise it was out yet.

CK2 was easy enough on release. They changed it so much though you kinda get lost if you're not playing frequently.

That was me, I didn't play it enough that I was lost. Looking at steam reviews it looks like there is still a lot of that but the UI is apparently better and some of the features around lifestyle sounds interesting. Been so long since I played CK2 I can't even recall if that was an older feature or new.

Actually uninstalled CK2 today thinking that if I'm playing any CK it will be 3.

I bought mist of the DLC late and for cheap so missed a lot.

Haven't played much as Republics, Vikings, India or Islam.

Welp, I bought it. Let's see if i can do better with this one rather than previous grand strategy games.

Nice. I started a CK II game as the Duke of aquitaine in 10th century.
Got sick, ended up as eunuch with only a single heir so went to elective monarchy and aquired some lands to make a nephew and and cousin counts to expand the bloodline.

Meh ruler and queens available but a nephew or something ended up inheriting as I didn't get my preferred heir.

Gonna try and seize Egypt in a crusade or inherit France. Or maybe use factions.

Still no idea what I'm doing (well I guess some idea). Started a game as Sigurd and formed a duchy just before I died to see my realm split up between my two sons. Naturally, my heir was the worst of the two. Time to murder my half brother and claim his realm i guess.

That's your succession law, it will be some type of gavelkind. Basically your heirs split the realm between them.

I will definitely be looking to change that. I just need to find out how. The UI seems easier to get around but so much seems to be happening. It wasn't until the game pointed it out that I realised there were buttons to look at the culture map and the religion map. I'd been playing for quite some time too.
