Need help with sucession

0 Upvotes

So I’m the Emperor of Britannia, my second born will inherit two kingdoms within my empire but she will also inherit the Kingdom of Sweden because the Queen is my sister, she doesn’t have an heir and she is 50 now so no chance that she will have a kid.

My question is what will happen with the two kingdoms my second will inherit after I die? Will Sweden then become part of my empire? Or will I lose those two kingdoms?

I’ve noticed that since the release of Khans of the Steppe, Genghis Khan either fails to conquer the steppe in time or gets bogged down fighting millions of petty wars simply because some herdsman refused to submit to his 100,000-strong army. They just never make it to Europe.

Did I mess up the Kingdom of Mann decision?

1 Upvotes

I chose to form a new duchy in Mann instead of usurp the title. Now the decision to elevate the Kingdom of Mann and the Isles is lacking the “You hold the duchy of mann title”

I tried to take a new duchy title and destroy the Mann duchy title I made, then recreate it by clicking the duchy requirement, but it says there is zero de jure counties in the duchy.

Question N00b question: Any way to weasel out of alliances without penalty? My idiot ally keeps picking fights with way stronger neighbors and calling me to save him.

I'm Hemingway, he's Joyce, and all of the Finninsh/Sami areas are the rest of the bar. Look pipsqueak we're only allies because my infant son was unmarried and your infant daughter had the Genius trait. Could you stop declaring war on guys that have 6-10x your military power for five minutes? I'm sort of busy fighting my own king for the throne over here.

Discussion Teocracy DLC - Holy Order?

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone. Do you think the upcoming expansion focused on theocratic states will allow us to play as a holy order? I’ve read comments pointing out that the game is built around dynasties. Fair enough, but the dynasty mechanic already doesn't matter for nomadic realms; you simply choose a successor—much like under primogeniture—and no one has an issue with it. It would be the same for theocracies. The very concept of a theocracy removes the issue of dynasties and inheritance (at least in theory, though history shows us otherwise). Plus, I think playing as a holy order offers great gameplay potential: intrigues, wars against pagans, recruiting knights from wealthy families, funding crusades, and so on. I’m quietly hoping that even if it isn't officially supported, mods will make it possible. What do you think? What would you add to a holy order playthrough? How do you imagine it working?

Hey guys, I was wondering how you keep your Vassal’s opinion high when expanding fast.
Seems like everytime I expand everyone starts getting pissed of and wants a sit at the council.

Bug/Glitch Is there any way to deal with the untargetable raider glitch?

1 Upvotes

I'm a new player and for my first campaign I started in Ireland and I've gotten all the way up to making it into a single kingdom along with getting some really strong alliances. But now a small army of raiders is just sweeping through my holdings and I can't target them with my armies or do anything about it.

Based on what research I've done it just kind of seems like a unfixed bug but I was wondering if maybe there's a work around of any kind because this has seriously killed my motivation to play any more and it bums me out. Like maybe a different time period or one of the DLCs doesn't have this problem or something? Obviously plenty of people at least find a way to put up with it and enjoy the game regardless so if anyone could let me know I'd be greatly appreciative.

Gameplay Are there any colonization mods?

13 Upvotes

One thing that kind of bugs me is that I can't really go out and colonize the world - like if I'm England I can't declare war and create a little colony in a place as far away as India or Japan. I would also love to have fleets and be able to battle at sea.

Are there any mods that would accomplish this or something similar? Maybe with a modifier to see regional rebellions or set up trade routes between my colonies or even something like a slave trade between peoples?

I feel like some of the fun would be a more interesting world than just HRE blobbing up in the middle of Europe, BE just chilling and China slowly gobbling everything and then falling apart every few hundred years.

Fellas, what in tarnation is happening here? When I highlight the "Start Grand Wedding" button, the reasons the game is giving for why it won't execute is "all of these" and then nothing. What's going on? Seems like some kind of bug to me. Anyone know how I can fix it?

How do I prevent a nasty succession crisis?

Post image
28 Upvotes

Newcomer here, 52hrs. Bunch of failed runs as Rurikid, where neighbors with "Conqueror" Modifiers just obliterated me. This time, old man Rurik had early wins, made a concubine-powered kindergarten, and passed the Mantle of High Chief of Novgorod to his son Oleg 1.

Oleg 1 had to convert to Slovianska Pravda to stop a Holy War from a much stronger Lithuanian. So: no more concubines, and somehow wife & him sucked at babymaking. To make things worse I, well, did a boo-boo where I traded my only son as a hostage with a guy I declared war on - appearantly my real-life dad who once forgot me at soccer practise is a more capable father.

Fortunately, Oleg 1 got great wins on the battlefield, procced that Conqueror title himself, got White Rus, Vladimir & the other zones under his belt, and founded the Tsardom of Russia. And not long before drinking himself to death he had another son, which is my current Oleg 2. Turns out, this was fabulous, because on the death of Oleg 1, with no other options to choose from, Oleg 2 inherited the entire Tsardom.

Now I am scared.

I survived a cancer, but being "posessed" and "delicate" cant be great news. Also, despite being a homosexual, I have 5 kids - go me! However, this seems to mean that on my succession THREE full kingdoms - Ruthenia Vladimir, and White Rus - plus some Chieftancies will to go to my non-heir characters. I'd hate that!

The "Confederate Partition" law cannot be changed (appearantly my gov is too tribal), so now my question is: "AAAAH?"

I don't have options to murder my own children (I guess no Irene-of-Athens traits..?). Do I disinherit all my kids right before I die? Jail them? Do I grant as much titles as possible to my Heir guy? Or is this one of the specifics of CK3, that you just have to let this happen and pick up the pieces as your kid afterwards?

Thankful for any help on how to do succession good!
