Glitch in the matrix...
It's a minor issue for me because I actually don't mind having a shitty heir or one with a "quirky personality". What it does, however, is clearly highlight how the AI doesn't understand the mechanics of the game.The only thing stress kinda does, which is, im pretty sure, not intentional, is make you somewhat hate living long coz your heir will get owned by stress and will accumulate bad traits coz of that.
But again, i dont think that's what it was intended for....
Uuuh sorry but CK3 is not JUST a rpg or strategy game, it's a SANDBOX!!11!! That means the game has to bend to my will with minimal effort /sI also feel confused about this notion that strategy and roleplaying as a medieval ruler are somehow mutually exclusive. How are you supposed to roleplay the Holy Roman Emperors if your vassals don't have the teeth to roll back your attempts at centralization? And being a backstabbing rascal comes with no consequences since the AI simply cannot marshall the economic, military and diplomatic resources to kick your teeth in ...
I would like to put out a game I do love very much into the mix. Mognaticum was a level I had to replay quite a few times before I finally got a water pipeline solution that allowed me to build up the senatorial villa zone and make progress ...Now please ignore how pretty much every beloved sandbox game has very customizable difficulty, but is still willing to kick the player in the teeth if they dare relax too much. Kenshi, X4, Rimworld, ZombieSurvivalSlop, Mount&Blade, even most of the base/business builders/management games have fairly easy to get into death spirals.
We've been doing Realm Maintenance from the start; they just had their changes targeting a DLC release to go out as part of the accompanying free update. We're definitely interested in doing standalone Realm Maintenance updates like 1.15 Crown again in the future though, since it makes the fact that we're continuing work on the base game more visible than packaging them alongside DLC has done.Yeah I really, really hope realm maintenance updates will become a thing that happens at least once a year from now on. It isnt a lot, sure, but that's SOMETHING and it brings in at least some opportunity for older systems to be changed or fixed.
and a small nipick - court positions existed before 1.15, it's just that you probably never interacted with them past physician-caravan master-maybe hunt master.
You really should, because that will alleviate the concern of many players, me included.We're definitely interested in doing standalone Realm Maintenance updates like 1.15 Crown again in the future though, since it makes the fact that we're continuing work on the base game more visible than packaging them alongside DLC has done.
Doing it within bigger updates makes it a lot less visible for sure, not to mention that update prob re-breaks everything back...We've been doing Realm Maintenance from the start; they just had their changes targeting a DLC release to go out as part of the accompanying free update.

That and the DLC gets reviews based on the update, not the DLC content.Doing it within bigger updates makes it a lot less visible for sure, not to mention that update prob re-breaks everything back...
Kind of hard to enjoy the new stuff from the DLC if bugs introduced with the DLC ruin your game. Paradox, to greater and lesser degrees, pretty much always promotes the free updates and changes with the DLC, with the free changes usually being relevant to the new stuff in the DLC so I don't think its entire unfair for people to give the DLC a bad score because you can't really untangle the DLC from the free update.getting bombed by negative reviews that have nothing with the actual content of the DLC.
It's not gonna be like that anymore because people who need to pay for air to appreciate it made sure to voice their negative opinion about how little DLC-locked content they got for their money. There was no appreciation for the benefits of this model (such as continuous development of free features vs abandoned DLC-locked stuff since they do not sell more copies).Paradox, to greater and lesser degrees, pretty much always promotes the free updates and changes with the DLC, with the free changes usually being relevant to the new stuff in the DLC so I don't think its entire unfair for people to give the DLC a bad score because you can't really untangle the DLC from the free update.
Why is this being disliked? It's a useful first impression.I have picked the game a while back with a discount and finally last week gave it a try. Beyond a few bugs, my impressions were:
1. I can see why people like CK3 as it is a fun and accesible game.
2. There is barely anything that it does better in concept than CK2, exacerbating some of the predecessor issues (stat inflation did become a bigger issue on 2 as more DLC released) or making downrigth downgrades like with the military system.
I don't think CK3 is a bad game, an graphical appeal while not something I care about matters to many users. Accesibility is excellent, while coming from Ck2 probably lessen the impact, having info of game mechanics in game makes it very easy to get going on it, specially in being less obtuse than 2.
However playing it just make me wonder why shouldn't I just play Ck2 instead. Beyond novelty, the gamplay just feels....simplified to a degree that it doesn't need to be. Realm laws being such a simplification (and realms politics as well), battlefield duels apparently not being a thing, the whole warfare aspect in general....like it makes me wonder why there was a need to change then in the first place. And some changes that could be possible like limiting personality traits seem to not matter at all as modifier stacking is somehow even worse than 2, which tbh just make me think less of the characters I'm playing of as interesting characters, instead being vehicles of power fantasy projection like the average teen novel cliché main character: overpowered and with a world that bend to their will.
Ps: Also one thing that annoyed me: wife getting pregnant being a notification instead of a pop up. CkIII male player character is such an egoist chad that doesn't let's the condition of her wife distract him from his fundamental aim: to seduce her sister-mon to form the perfect genetic offsping.
Do we have an explanation for why these still aren't in? I've been waiting like four years to play PoD because rulers can't act as knights for no reasonbattlefield duels apparently not being a thing, the whole warfare aspect in general

Is it an issue with game flow?
Like, pausing the game for "duel events" in battles would bog the game down.

Because if you get in a duel you might lose and the prime core design philosophy of this game appears to be that you aren't allowed to lose, so it doesn't fit.Do we have an explanation for why these still aren't in?
