If you see a gibberish post, it was made by raiders, ignore it.

No, Vic 3 is not good yet. In fact it never will be. Neither will EU5.

I prefer playing a country with characters. Not characters with countries like in CK3. CK2 and Imperator Rome have the perfect implementation of characters imo.

The only fun CK 2 has is marrying your tengri worshipping french aunt-cousin-mother to give birth to your deformed bogdanov that causes your empire to collapse because everyone hates him.
Combat is "wait for alliance to break", economy is about being best friends with vassals, research is so slow it doesn't matter.
All either game has going for it is character interactions.

>Another story finds the Spanish conquistadors outside the capital of Puerto Rico at the time, Caparra, where a group of Indians had been captured and subdued. While waiting for Ponce de León to arrive from the capital, the troops amused themselves by harassing the captives. Guilarte de Salazar gave an old Indian woman a folded piece of paper and informed her that it was a letter that was to be carried to the governor- if she refused, she would be fed to the dogs.[7]

>The frightened woman accepted in the hopes of surviving, but after she turned and began down the road Salazar released Becerrillo and commanded him to take her. As she was charged by the dog, the old woman dropped to her knees and prayed "Please, my Lord Dog. I am on my way to take this letter to Christians. I beg you, my Lord Dog, please do not hurt me."[7]

>According to witnesses, Becerrillo stopped short and regarded the woman intently. He sniffed at the woman and the paper in her hands, before turning away, lifting a leg, and marking her with urine. He stood by as the woman returned unharmed to the Spanish troops. Upon his arrival, Ponce de León was informed of what had occurred. He commanded the troops, "Free her and send her safely back to her people. Then let us leave this place for now. I will not permit the compassion and forgiveness of a dog to outshine that of a true Christian

I don’t know if they fixed it but you just need a majority of your culture pops in an adjacent province, and you can freely move slaves for gold, so you can daisy chain slaves that you’ve assimilated to instantly colonize all of Siberia. For this guy it’s probably more difficult but for Rome it’s trivial, though probably cost prohibitive in the early game.

why people doesn't talk about capetian incest?
just skimming through kings of france and several capetian princess straight up marries into capetian houses of burgundy, evreux, alencon, anjou, orleans etc
heck Charles II of Navarre and John II of France literally argues about who is more related to the burgundian capetians
>>
because only the most normalfag of normalfags meme habsburgs and their incest and said normalfags do not posses any detailed knowledge, especially about history
educated people know that incest does not cause genetic defects, just compounds the existing features
>>
oh also whenever the main line is going to die out they usually forces their junior line to marry into them
capetians are far more incestous than the habsburgs, its just their incest cousins which is based I suppose and probably why capetians survived unlike niecefucking keksburgs

what a strange question to ask
it's like asking "why doesn't anyone talk about killing their own family"

why doesn't anyone talk about killing their own family?

I am just salty that people talks like Habsburgs were this master at earning kingdoms through when in reality capetians had far more foreign thrones compared to keksburgs
honestly, I blame the cadet branches calling themselves whatever they liked and that results in people thinking d'Anjou is different family from d'Evruex

just for Valois

Philip VI married his first cousin once removed Joan from capetian house of Burgundy
Charles V married his first cousin Joanna from capetian house of Bourbon
Charles VII married his second cousin Marie from capetian house of Anjou
Louis XII married his second cousin once removed Joan from capetian house of Valois

4/7 of them married into their own family
no wonder Charles VI was mad(though probably not considering his descendants kept on inbreeding)
>>
>>2317068
hello answer me
>>
>what's "name equivalency"?
basically take the name James
in german it would be Jakob and in english it would be James while in catalan Jaume
in ck3's culture folder there is file called name equivalency which stores all the similar names hence the above names would look like
James_male:{Jakob Jaume James}
with this if your grandparent was named Karl while you are being french would be called Charles and if you inherit his kingdom you would still be called Charles II while your grandpa being Karl I
but without this name equivalency you basically going to be named Karl even if you were french and if you name yourself Charles and inherit the kingdom your reigning name would be Charles I not Charles II
which kinda punches you out of your immersion eh

grand strategically speaking, if in crusader kings its best to father as many children as possible, shouldnt it be likewise IRL?
discuss
>>
false premise
in ck2 it's best to have as few children as possible with primogeniture. meanwhile with ultimogeniture you make children until you make the best heir and then become chaste
>>
>false premise
why doe. if your dynasty has no members left you lose the game. by having as many children as possible you ensure that that cannot happen.
>>
more heirs = more claimants = more enemies
1 (one, uno) heir is enough to prevent a game over and any more than that is an unnecessary burden
>>
you have to be a really bad player to base your entire playstyle on avoiding a game over. play to win, not to avoid losing.
>>
being carefree by having multiple children in crusader kucks is unironically based
it keeps the endless cycle of union and division going
chaos is awesome
>>
ok but even so, you dont have to give your sons much power, if any. so any hostile claimants can be swatted away just like that.
also if you have only 1 heir and he dies to unforeseen circumstances then youre "cooked", as the youth would say. you cant savescum irl, you see.
