    Steam, do not tell my friends of the unspeakable crimes that I commit in Rimworld. Only God can judge my sins.

      Where are you posted? In my current run, I started as the count of Gotland, and then invaded Frisia. A few generations later, and all of the British Isles are viking, as is Scandinavia, Germany and France.

      Last I played, my dynasty had 10 Kingdoms under its belt, ruled by various cousins and uncles of the main branch.

        The new Legend mechanic is pretty hilarious with the Asatru horde. I’d conquered all of Catholicism by my second ruler because you can spam out the generic Defender of the Holy Site legend, spread it fast as fuck because of course they gave the Norse more bonuses, and basically buy a Kingdom Holy War CB every couple of years while also mass converting territory.

        Then the second ruler died and I’m still on Confederate Partition so now there are five Norse Empires in control of Western Europe. I’d considered going full Blood Empire and trying to eradicate all dynasties but mine but I’m not sure that’s even possible anymore.

        I’ve been playing Norse for a while. Just switched back to the Ireland campaign. I’m pretty new to the game and still learning how to effectively retain control after succession.

        I started on xbox, which strips out a lot of granularity and only picked up the full version on a kbd/mouse device about a month ago. Reading game tips made me aware of mechanics that xbox lacked. I haven’t lasted more than several generations because I still learn from mistakes and start over. I’m getting there. Great game.

          Love the game, been playing Ck2 and 3 for about a decade now.

          A big part is making sure your lands are not split up too much each generation. Usually this means conquering or revoking from a vassal a new duchy per son, so the core remains intact on sucession. Like real life, Tyranny is just a number if you have the army to back it up.

          Another big part is military strength. Betroth your newborns to people with big armies. Keep in mind the product of said unions will inherit claims to your land. Also, Knights and Men at Arms are wayyyy stronger than levies. If you’re playing Norse, they cost prestige, not gold, so you can maintain as many as your monthly prestige income allows, and battle, feast, and raid to boost your prestige over time to afford more.

          Raiding is a HUGE boon for the Norse. Best places are counties in Ireland early, and then Brittany, Spain, and Cornwall as you become more powerful. Just be sure you scout the place out and make sure the ruler doesn’t have better troops than you, or you’ll go home with nothing!

    I have played many games similar to this one, and I hate to admit this, but I think I’m too stupid for CK3. I just don’t know enough about English royalty/gentry shit to keep up.

      I always assumed from videos I’ve watched that the point of the game is to either manage shit around Europe/Asia or fuck around as a noble of Bumfucknowhere, denouncing the pope, spying on your spouse, sending your entire court to jail, all for shits and giggles.

        I want a battle sim version of ck3.

        Like Digital Risk but with terrain and type advantages right down to being able to control different active battlefields as the general or maybe even squad formation level if you wanted.

        The background can be all the complicated incest avoidance/embracing.

        Basically the opposite of ck3.

        I still want the option to make allies or trade treaties, just maybe let me hand it off to the cpu if I want

        The point is create a eugenics empire of giant geniuses who come out of the womb ready to tear a grown man’s head off his shoulders.

        And that other stuff.

      Marrying your sister is mild. Fucking every female in your family is par for the course on some runs

      I don’t know if I want my friends knowing that I’m typically murdering prostitutes at the Valentine Saloon or getting lap dances at the Vanilla Unicorn before I shoot the place up. Can’t let Wade have all the fun.

      I think Discord calls it Discord Rich Presence. It’s such a good feature, and I always get excited when I see it implemented. Sometimes when I look it up I’m lucky enough to find mods that add it for some of my games, too.

    For some games yes, but I don’t think I’d want people seeing me playing Amorous and finding out I’m in the middle of any NSFW bedroom scenes.

          i haven’t used steam a while (so i could be wrong), but it seems like that’s not a pop up. it looks like it’s part of the information that shows up when you click a game in your library. so i guess it would make sense the name of the game isn’t display there (since it’s somewhere else on the page)
