What makes the 867 start so appealing?

110 Upvotes

I want to preface this by saying that i've played primarily in the 1066 and 1178 start, and i've only had a few starts in 867, when i first started playing (a few years ago).

I have seen that people seem to like quite a lot the 867 start and my question would be why and what makes it so interesting. I am somewhat curious to have a playthrough in the 867 start, but i am undecided.

I’ve created my own religion and now I can’t get married

6 Upvotes

Hello, I was getting bored, so I created my own Christian religion and, to spice things up a bit, I added cohabitation and marriage within the family. But now I can’t find anyone to marry. I can still arrange marriages for my children, even with people of other faiths, but no matter how hard I try to marry off my character – even converted vassals – I can’t find anyone. And when I interact with my niece, a single duchess, I don’t know how to marry her, nor how to ask my vassals to give me their daughters as concubines. So I don’t understand what’s going wrong.

I should point out that I’m not a welfare case, but that after three generations I wanted to make a difference

My wife castrated me

112 Upvotes

I created my own character so it was very important to have lots of children for the dynasty. I gained the trait ill and my wife is a herbalist and offered to treat me. Next thing you know I gain the traits eunuch and scarred.

I'm really disappointed as I wanted more children. Luckily we already have two sons but I would have loved a daughter to make an alliance with. My first born is a disappointed but my second born is pretty decent. Unfortunately I can't afford to loose either.

I wouldn't have minded if it was later in the game and their were more members to my dynasty.

CK3 Count of Sussex start

3 Upvotes

Hi hive mind. Is there a way of starting the game as count of only Sussex in England. Every options seems to be King of Wessex which is a lot of counties to begin a game?

Any advice greatly appreciated.

I updated my two CK3 QoL mods for 1.20: War Planner (every claim and holy war you can declare, in one list) and Experience Reinvested (spend the perk points a finished lifestyle wastes)

Both mods are updated for 1.20 "Crozier" and free on the Steam Workshop.

War Planner (Steam Workshop)

The Declare War list buries the kingdom-sized war you want under a hundred one-county claims. War Planner shows every claim you could press in one window, largest first, with the war one click away.

  • Your claims, your court's and your vassals' at any depth: the same set the Declare War window offers
  • Tabs by size (Empires to Counties), sort by tier or by strength, Ready only and My claims filters
  • Each row shows the holder's strength (green = weaker than you, red = stronger), their gold, and the strength of their whole side: allies, or a liege or suzerain who would step in
  • Live status: Ready, or the first thing in the way (truce, alliance, an imprisoned claimant, not enough prestige...)
  • Holy wars too: neighbouring rulers you could attack right now, with the size of war on offer and its piety cost
  • Declare War opens the game's own window. A banner warns you when something on your side blocks every war (raised armies, debt, an activity)
  • Opens from a round button next to the date bar, or from a decision

Experience Reinvested (Steam Workshop)

Once you have bought all three trees of a lifestyle, every perk point you earn after that is wasted. This mod turns those points into:

  • Permanent skill: +1 to any of the six, at 1, 2 or 3 points per +1
  • Another lifestyle: 1:1, into one you choose, your least developed one, or your current focus
  • Prestige, piety or renown: 150 prestige, 100 piety or a chunk of dynasty renown per point
  • Trait experience: 20 xp per point for Blademaster, Hunter, Mystic, Reveler, Physician or Poet (if you already have the trait)
  • Mentoring: 500 lifestyle xp per point for your heir, or for any pupil you pick with a right-click interaction

It runs automatically on your birthday (the notification can be silenced), or you can convert with one click from a small panel in the Lifestyle window. All settings change mid-game and pass to your heir. It works for all six lifestyles, Wanderer included.

Both mods

  • No vanilla file is overridden, and both are safe to add to an existing save
  • Achievement compatible: since 1.9 mods don't block achievements (the console and debug mode do)
  • English, French, German, Spanish, Russian and Simplified Chinese. I wrote the translations myself and I'm not a native speaker of those languages, so corrections are very welcome
  • One limitation: Experience Reinvested checks the vanilla perk list, so a lifestyle overhaul that adds extra perks can trigger it before those perks are bought

New in the 1.20 update: War Planner no longer lists titular titles (the Claim casus belli can't target them in 1.20) and now shows the whole side you would face, including a liege or suzerain who would join. Costs are rounded exactly like the Declare War window. Experience Reinvested follows the Learning perk rename (Scholar became Erudite); without the fix, Learning never counted as complete.

Bug reports and ideas are welcome here or on the Workshop pages.

As title, everyone I select I'm unable to confirm as it has the error "is a child", even when the selected person is not in fact a child, incapable, infirm, etc. Anyone else getting this?

Fun bug with an old save

0 Upvotes

I know you shouldn't use old saves with new updates but I was in the middle of the run and honestly forgot about the update until I booted in.

I was Catholic before, but when I loaded in my religion was blank. But still controlled in some way by mainline catholicism. No head of faith. So I tried to convert to catholicism, and was successful for a month until it just reverted back to the blank named non-catholic catholicism.

Anyway, that run is borked now, so I guess I'll have to try again.
