Crusader Kings III: Chapter IV

[vandevere]

Question: why do devs continue to ignore badly needed mechanical changes to things that have been in the game since release? Why is warfare and religion still absolute trash? Why do the millions of threads on these topics get ignored? Why add China when there are massive regions that are bland, flavorless, and contentless, e.g. India, sub-sarahan Africa, Western Europe?

Because they never stopped asking for China. Every update, we heard endless China When???

Now that they've finally addressed the Elephant in the room, the Devs will be able to concentrate on other things without continually being bombarded with China When?

Question 1:
Feudal gameplay has been largely neglected and hasn't seen significant changes since the game's launch. Are there any plans to enhance it?

Question 2:
The Pope and religion played a crucial role in medieval society. When can we expect a rework, possibly including features like the College of Cardinals?

Question 3:
Why are coronations part of an event pack rather than a larger feudal rework?

Question 4:
Are there plans to improve systems like inheritance, medieval councils, and laws?

Question 5:
Do You have plans for Holy Roman Empire rework, since currently it’s just a regular country without flavour and role it played in fedual Europe

Question 6:
You’ve added great Byzantine DLC, but lacking Turkic tribes rework, now Nomads DLC will also not enhance them. Are there plans to improve Turkic tribes gameplay?

Korea and Indonesia before they make an expansion for the most powerful and influential realm of the european middle ages, the HRE... Amazing.

I am curious how these various east asian governments will play. We will see.


Questions about existing content:
-> Are there any plans to revise the character UI so it can show more than 25 traits? Ideally by making it scrollable?
-> Can we get the option to have a notification when one of my court position holders gets the infirm trait? This gives such a massive penalty to aptitude that it is even worse than the court position just being empty most of the time.
-> Can the character creator be updated to save CoA, dynasty name and house motto together with the rest of the character?
-> Will the character finder ever be expanded to include additional filters? I would be particualy interested in "outside my realm" and "can accept a marriage or betrothal".


Questions about recently announced content:
-> Is there anything special about the hegemony tier besides higher base stats? Can hegemonies vassalize empires? Do they have a de jure territory?
-> What distinguishes "merit" from prestige or influence? In my opinion, CK3 already has a lot of abstract currencies, and at least for me it is starting to become difficult to imagine what exactly the difference between them is in the logic of the game world.
-> Will coronations be a specifically christian activity, or do other faiths also get a variant?

This chapter will add new types of gov (nomad, chinese, japanese, korean, mandala). Will we be able to adopt those types of gov? A few examples: A tribal adopts mandala or korean gov? The Japanese usurp the mandate and adopts chinese gov? Could an adventurer buy in into those govs? Or a nomad adopt chinese gov (like the Yuan) ? Could a tribal adopt nomadism (like the proto magyar did)?

Will the mandala gov be available to India and Tibet? Those areas were dharmic and had very similar types of gov to SEA. (even if India and Tibet have dlc planned for the future).

It would be nice to have a new way to play there.I know the nomad dlc is more focused on the mongols (the main characters of the steppe), but will there be content for the other nomadic groups (Turkic, magyar, Saka)? Maybe some decision to form ancient nomadic empires. Restore the Hunnic Empire/Goturk/Scythia

This sounds lovely except for coronations, which sounds like it'll just be an event window. Coronations deserve their own dlc and they should be held in the throne room.

Excited to see how the imperial exams works out!

More a question about "crown", but will the army automation be flexible enough to allow you to pick and mix which armies are automated and which are under your control? Mostly because I only want to be able to direct armies under my character's personal control for roleplay reasons, but it could also be useful if you are conducting a major campaign abroad, but need to detail a small detachment to sort out a peasant revolt back home.

Also, can I start dreaming that the introduction of the Chinese imperial court and reformed court positions might entail expanded council mechanics alongside a need to relocate to the capital to hold a position (with an enhancement of corresponding opportunities to make re-location worth your while)? Especially given the importance of physical proximity to power at court....and as the vast geographical distances inside China make eg serving as the court tutor from your estate a thousand miles away particularly hard to imagine.

I guess that you can play as a ronin when wandering in Japan.

With Chapter 5 next year, merchant republics may allow you to send an expedition to China to replicate Marco Polo. They might add something regarding the Guelphs vs the Ghibellines. More in depth HRE mechanics and maybe additions to Papal Elections and the Holy See.

Merchant Republics coming later makes sense as content can be shared with the Mandalas in SEA. Adding Asia and a revamped steppes can also give a sort of trade route simulation as well.

I find that the ambitious expansion is really a tad bit too ambitious.

We are really lacking Indian and African content, and we don't even have the entirety of Africa. But now we are getting a really different and distant land and culture? I think the future developments will be spread way too thin. I hope to be really wrong, but damn, I feel all my understanding points to a "too few fingers in too many pies".
I feel that I can fall in love with All under heaven, but right now I find that the cost for development is bigger than the bonus to the game.

Nomads and coronations I am very excited for! No doubt about it.
Rational and wanted contents for the structures we have in game.

Ronin with a large camp, dozen followers and an army of 1200 samurai?

I wish I could do Solo Adventuring with only backpack and optionally a horse and a cart. As an adventurer I want to sleep under the starry sky or in inn, or maybe even in inn in red light district, travel on feet or on horse solo or with random caravans or on merchant ships.

Dear developers, please add this type of adventurers.

Chapter IV's flagship Major Expansion, All Under Heaven, is set to be the largest and most ambitious expansion in Crusader Kings history. We're completing our map of the medieval world by extending its scope across all of Asia. This massive expansion brings new gameplay, unique governments, and entirely different perspectives on life in the medieval era.

Is map extension locked to the expansion? My PC struggles with the map it has to work with right now. I do not know how practical it would be, perhaps not viable at all, but perhaps people with weaker rigs could play on smaller, more limited, maps be it Europe or China centric.

It sounds rather lonely and boring (gameplay-wise).

 

[iniudan]

I got a idea for an achievement for this expansion. Getting a koi from Japan as Haesteinn.

You still can meet many different people on the way. And this would add some content for roleplaying. On the other hand one can create a mod implementing a domicile without any building except "Backpack", "Horse" and "Cart".

Major Expansion: All Under Heaven

Are you implying that AMERICA is not UNDER HEAVEN? /i

ADD AMERICA YOU COWARDS. /i

MAKE AMERICA MEDIEVAL AGAIN /i

 

[CannaeCogitate]

I'm very interested to know how regions like Tibet and Burma will be affected by AUH, specifically:
will these two regions benefit from clothing and government additions added by AUH?
will these two regions see cultural or religious additions/changes?
And will Burma specifically be moved out of the Dejure empire of Bengal and into an eastern empire?

As an aside: I'm also interested to know if family names will precede personal names in some cultures?

Thanks bunches! Super hyped!

Question: will khan of the steppes have flavor for the Turks and the Magyars?

Steppe-khan, what are you doing?

I hope so, since they are like, cousins of the Mongols, all came from the steppes.
