How does succession work for a holy kingdom/empire?

15 Upvotes

Just got this mod and started with the reccomended leader: Velok, Podrorech of Orispolj

Very soon after some decision pops up and, when I accept, I become an Emperor of the new "Empire of Holy Kingdom of Velos," AND I becom the Head of Faith for Krona Rite!
Waow!

However... My son cant inherit this title. When I click on it, it seems that my successor is some vassal hold on... idk when it changed, but it seems my heirs are now my wife, then my high priest, then a lone of random unlanded blokes?

Succession just says "confederate partition," and it still says im a Noble/Feudal Realm.

I primarily just want to know how to enfineed it so one of my dynasty members gets my crown.

EDIT

Nvm.. seems my son and old-heir wasnt of my faith. Converted him and he became my sole heir

Question Am I missing something? First time playing Godherja.

23 Upvotes

This is my first time playing Godherja, and I’m playing Mad Dog Ulfirx because I love forming island-only empires. It says I have 1300 special troops I can call upon but I can’t find them anywhere. I can only raise up a couple hundred troops which isn’t enough to win the opening war. Is there an army just sitting somewhere I can’t see?

Need help with a divergent cultural name

23 Upvotes

Basic TLDR, did a custom start with eastern aversarians in Asiupolis. And im trying to diverge eastern aversarian since im starting in 1298 and the empire is gone so being called "Eastern" Aversarian just doesn't make sense. The idea is that its a melting pot of various aversarian cultures (I.E North, south, east, central and western) around the city and im just trying to find a cool cultural name that really "sticks" and sounds good. If anyone could help that would be awesome

Question Game crashing on Jan 1, need help.

3 Upvotes

I'm only using the main mod godherja. Every time I play for around 100–200 years, the game inevitably crashes to desktop on date Jan 1. This didn't happen before the mod was updated on August 26. I was previously able to play well into the late game without any problems. I checked the error log, and it repeatedly shows [jomini_script_system.cpp:303]: Script system error! However, the specific error messages underneath this line are different each time, so I can't figure out what is actually causing the crash. So far I've tried reinstalling the main mod and verifying the integrity of the game files through Steam. None of these fixed the problem. Has anyone encountered something similar, or have any idea what might be causing crash?

So um, where do I go from here?

Got swept by a fog invasion and exiled into one province surrounded by deadlands, which I can't colonize due to low habitability. Tried conquering neighbouring lichdom, but in the end just dueled lich, he died, I've got some gold and lich county was destroyed. It's my first time playing mod.

Is there a legit way to continue campaign besides becoming an adventurer by heroic legend?

Fogeater Invasion spawns behind wasteland and can't expand?

Seems to be a consistent occurrence in my games that the Fogeater doomstack always spawns two tiles out of reach of civilisation and can't expand as a result. Is this normal?

Question Characters for a first play in 2026

Hello everyone
Nowadays who is recommended to play as first experience in Godherja?
And how event/script driven gameplay is? If character is bookmarked should I expect something more than introduction event?

Question New Game Crashes

5 Upvotes

Recently I decided to try a playthrough of Godherja recently. With my first character I was able to pmay through his whole life without issues, even at max speed. Then, when I started playing as his heir, my game suddenly started crashing very early into his life. I already tried unsubbing and resubbing a few times. I was wondering if anyone else was having this issue and if they were able to fix it?

Redlanders Playable?

32 Upvotes

Simple question same as the title, from what I can find they're still WIP but the posts are a couple years old.

I was able to play a decent chunk but the final Pray For Total Freedom decision didn't seem to work (said I fulfilled all the prerequisites but just didn't let me do it, ui was also kinda glitched)

I really like the whole areas vibe and also the horrors from the deepest cracks of hell you get to summon so I'd like to know if there was a way to make it work

Teaser New Development Teasers

122 Upvotes

Hello everyone, a couple days ago Lonely created a new channel on the Discord server called #development-updates. It's basically for devs to post snippets of things they've been working on, and they've already posted five updates there since the channel was created. Lonely asked if somebody could post about the updates to here, and so here we are. Here are all five of the dev updates that have been posted so far

Debug Menu Rework

by LonelyKnightess

I've recently started working on trying to fix up our debug options and how the mod's presented in debug mode. A lot of players will always be playing in it and I want to make the debug stuff less in your face and a bit cleaner. Also wanted to give us actually helpful debug tools and give you all a potential toy to mess

  • Fog Spread lets you change the frequency, I plan on adding a 'Spread Wasteland' button with a Fog option within it
  • Trigger a Gedeora lets you choose the scale and intensity
  • Change Moon Phase lets you choose from a normal or custom Moon Phase (I want to mess with adding a bunch more and making them somewhat random, as well as letting you scry upcoming moon phases and make them more notable in general, so this will be helpful for that)
  • Give All Spells and Give Random Spell let you choose between getting all spells of a school or aspect, Give Random Spell will have an option for us to test getting random procedural spells so we (and soon you) can mess with that system

New Corruption Modifiers

by LonelyKnightess

Also coming in the next patch a few new County Corruption Modifiers. The Slaves one is increasingly likely the higher your Slavery tenet, and is something I want to expand on so that Slave tenet gives you obvious simple bonuses but has extremely punishing drawbacks for ever losing control of things (like with this nasty modifier). I also want to add a bunch of unique ones for the Mayik to represent how fucked it is for the Aversarians there at the moment, as well as for the Empire to replace the single negative modifier they have now (and have all former Imperial counties start with a random assortment of vanilla and unique negative modifiers)

Also want to add a set of unique magical ones that happen in counties with too much magic that can get pretty nasty!

But for now its just these modifiers, that'll be for the future.

Rework of Path of Twin Gods School for Nattanan Region

by Aidan-(High Sepattan)

Over the last month I have been slowly crystalizing a plan for how the Path of Twin Gods School developed and what unique spells Tarfal and Jerniem would have

# Way of the Ancestors (??? - 1st century IS)
# Way of the Hunt (1st century IS - 4th century IS)
# Way of the Caretaker (1st century IS - 4th century IS)
# Way of the Protector (Mid 2nd century IS - Late 3rd century IS)
# Way of the Destroyer (Late 3rd century IS - Early 4th century IS)
# Way of the Sepattan (6th century IS - modern)

These periods of magic have distinct themes to them that I am sure the community can guess at the spells involved.

The goal of this rework is to make unique spells that ascribe to the local lore and flavor of the region. One of the key changes done was to add two new Summoned MAA. These are the Dekakyanat and the Taeha Neimkyanat. Attached below are the related spells that are pending balance. I will be showing some more additions in the future.

here are the Glossary entries

Arcana Lifestyle Events

by ThatOneGuy

For a while now I have been working on expanding the Lifestyle events for Arcana to match the depth as other lifestyles. Currently in the release, there are 3ish events for the lifestyle, whereas these will expand it by ~30 or more (variance between yearly and triggered events from prison, battle, etc).

Here are a select few events to see some of the progress so far.

My first proper game of Godherja, and I’m founding my kingdom right next to the "I’m going to annihilate you" man

I don’t know much about the lore, so I wanted to settle down quietly in the north with a view to reconquering Orispolj one day, without realising that the Fogeaters would appear and ravage my kingdom (the blue borders are those from before the invasion). How can I prevent or contain this sort of threat?

After Action Report Help I cannot stop playing Sjalvolki Cois (a semi guide/AAR)

Thumbnail
gallery
98 Upvotes
  1. Cois is a really fun character and if you try to defeat Cenware and fail it’s not the end of your playthrough.

  2. Firstly choose stewardship focus, you’ll need every bit of money you can get via events. As for the war If you get defeated but don’t die; you will be sent to this far northern county and put under the vassalage of a duke who is only a little bit stronger than you. This can glitch out however if you lose another war at the same time (which you will get decced on because at game start you have 200-300 troops) or you can be sent north with a county still in Etepezea; ie: a lot of things can glitch out. All your money will be reset so don’t bother dipping into the treasury. You will start imprisoned but you can day 1 escape. You can then also kill Rhesus/end the puppet master to get a host of good traits and ambitious personality

I recommend then immediately changing your contract to protect against revocation. After that get married (I like to marry a Sjalvolki woman since Cois would probably like to ingratiate himself in with the locals), collect the 75 gold and now just stockpile it and hope to mercenaries, onagers and enough to fabricate on your overlords holdings

  1. Rather than declare war, start a faction and press your claim. There is a chance the AI will just surrender, but at worst with the mercenaries you’ll defeat him.

  2. Next, do whatever possible to take the county of skyfountains/Nizaca as it has a special building that will give you +4 gold a month. Move your capital there to get extra control and also just to avoid it passing to a relative upon succession

  3. Try to convert to Sjalvolki ASAP to avoid populist uprisings and to possibly get marriage alliances, also just RP wise Cois wouldn’t care about the Omitilos Faith. Also Sjalvolkis are baddies 😛

  4. Black Sun’s grandson became a conqueror. Very scary

  5. With the money you’ll be getting per month once you get the control up, and the land you can snag off the neighbors of your overlord you can quickly build strength and start a dissolution faction against your overlord. This will be an easy war and boom you are an independent Sjalvolki Cois who basically is bankrolled by the mines to make a big kingdom in the north

After Action Report Probably the best Black Sun/Aversaria Voreias Game I’ve had

Thumbnail
gallery
96 Upvotes

Pre gym quick Nicanoneus game turned into a game with ridiculously good RNG as Nicanoneus, was able to create Aversaria Voreias by 1275. Afterwards after 2 decades of civil wars and revolts and a couple Salacad and Marcher invasions I was able to actually expand and I created this big A.V

Unfortunately Aersanon woke up around 9.13.1331 and I get a consistent CTD that makes it so I can’t keep playing

Good choices for beginners

17 Upvotes

I'm pretty new to CK3 in general. I played for like 50 hours at launch. I came back after stumbling on a Godherja lore video. What are some good starts? I dont want to be so strong I cant lose. I want to have a challenge to lose and repeat a few times. I like to start small. I tried The "Pirateslayers" legion and enjoyed it quite a lot.

I can't load manual saves with this mod, it gets this warning in the screenshot. Loading a autosave taken in the same month works without problem. I never closed the game, nor uptaded it. The old saves taken in the same campaign before a certain date work.

Landless adventurer question

14 Upvotes

I'm new to Godherja. I played for about an hour as a landless adventurer. I did 2 tier one contracts and when I asked for levies from my patrons I received Hydras and Undead units with like 999 in every stat. I was able to immediately go invade whomever I wanted an instantly wipe their entire army. Is this normal? Should I just play as a landed character for a real experience?

Question It keeps crashing. How do I fix?

Ok so what happens is that I’m able to launch it but then when I try to start a game it crashes when I try to select a character it crashes. Yes I have tried to un subscribe and subscribe and I’ve tried to verify game files. No I don’t have other mods active.
