You don't have an argument because you don't know how to play the game. It's like if someone walked up to you with socks on his hands complaining about how awful the socks were.

Yeah, it would be awful if it took forty hours to conquer half of Ireland, but in that time without knowing what I was doing I became the emperor of two regions.

If you don't like grand strategy then oh well, it's a grand strategy game. Apparently you are bad at them. Enjoy your (You).

>>343860396
You have to present an argument first. If you've only managed to conquer half of Ireland in forty hours you're doing something terribly wrong. I had formed Brittania at that point in my first game.

>>343860663
More like you've been playing so much CK2 you forgot that you actually have to do things, like make an argument. Since the last few expansions the game has shifted towards becoming too RNG based.

But go ahead, tell me how you became emperor of two regions completely by your own abilities and not luck.

If you can't even figure out CK2, one of the simplest grand strategy games out there, then perhaps grand strategy isn't for you? It doesn't mean the games are bad it means you're bad at them.

>>343861295
Clearly you've never played CK2. It's a ruler simulator, not grand strategy, you roleplay as someone and the rest is basically on auto-pilot. You can read more about it here:

Heh this reminds me of that time I tried to turn Mali white by kidnapping Euro women and concubining them and eventually breeding white heirs.

I eventually got a claim to France by blood and my French princess fell in love with me. It was precious and it ended with me being called Mansa Kufausa the Great and granting my wife a city in southern france.
>>
>>343861542

IT was my own stupidity
I dont remember everything because its been a while but IT was because of Purpur blood( Your heir getting born in this special room).
I had a great heir (Who was Not born in the room) and my current leader was like 84. His wife died and I wanted to remarry him so i did witha 40 year old women with religious trait.
Yet somehow He.manages to fuck her and a New heir was born.
Well and After that my empire Fell apart

Nope. You can weasel your way into weak claims and once in a blue fucking moon, blue, you get lucky. Like real life.

>not leaving your heir an empire stretching from erie, to finland, denmark, lithuania, france, germany and bits of spain

There's a lot you can do if you don't give a fuck about your current ruler's wellbeing. I think my best run was a norse irish guy who became the ruler of everything north of italy, along with being the head of the reformed norse faith. You bet your ass I was raiding daily, you bet your ass I was converting heathens with the fury of a thousand suns. You bet the pope got hung at a blot.
>>
>>343862785

I had a run where I started as the one Whiteshirt who starts in York. By the end my empire covered just about every county except about half of India, mainly because I let my Kings become absurdly powerful and kept feeding them land. I had so many that it was easy to keep enough happy for the rest to avoid plotting against me, and they were all happy because I never raised crown authority much anyway. The best part is that a vassal's armies are completely raised in the province you raise them in, so I could give different duchies to different kings and raise most of my realm's troops on any border at any time.

Yeah it really is one of the best strat games ever made.

On the Paradox forums there was a great thread where some guy exploited getting horses as courtiers and ended up making his entire dynasty into horses and then the pope and then was aiming to get his dynasty onto every throne in Europe.

Pretty classic shit. Glad you just stumbled onto it yourself.

>>343862406
You're thinking of claims dude but with marriages you can end up with your heir being the heir to whole other kingdoms or empires if you stab the right people at the right time.

>>343862129

Yes
Why?
I dont know but i have the feeling that Paradox listen too much to some autistic fans who want
>MAH REALISM

implemented

They removed many things that made the game "easier" for players who invested countless hours into it

Lets take a look:
>banishing people is pointless now

Before a newer you could easily cleanse your entire realm of assholes and start "clean". I liked that and did it sometimes to get rid of everybody:
>Civil war
>10 years later i won and have 0 troops, 0 money but 80 of duchies are in prison
>Bnaish them
>Get land + gold from them

Now its pointless to banish anybody because you dont get ANYTHING AT FUCKING ALL

Wars
before the patch it was easy:
You are the HRE for example and want to get into Slavic countries what do you do?
Declare Holy war and the only people who will fight against your are slavic trives.
But no Paradox removed that and now you must fight against Slavic faith, Tengri and Norse faith and if you fuck up bad even against fucking Muslims.
This is even worse because of

>The Council

I will never understand who thought this was a good idea.
The council is a seat of niggers who sit there get nothing but block every attempt of you to do anything
It would be not so annoying IF you could just declare anybody to sit in the council but people with lot of power ( stong duchies ) will be upset and lose -40 opinion of you.
And hats the problem because you are forced to pay 200-400 gold for one fucking favor.
And even if you have the great idea to get rid of the council it takes one new ruler to bring it back because otherwise you have a 400% rebellion against you

>Heirs

Mot annoying thing you could breed your ons and daughters into perfection with good genes and the right education.
I always teached my kids myself because after 50 years i was always a good kin/emperor with a shitton of good attributes (Temperate, Charitable, sometimes chaste and all the other good things ).
>>
>>343869536
I've never played ck2 but what happens when you don't have a heir when you die? You almost always get a heir in eu4, but this game seems more focused on dynasties and shit so does the game end?
>>
>>343870216

If you dont have a heir on your own and you are the last living male you lose the game.
>>
>>343870216
It's game over when you don't have any more titles. If you don't have any heir of your dynasty and die, that's game over.
The guy you're replying to could've just changed the law a bit and let women inherit titles, that would've solved his problem.
>>
>>343870216
It's game over if you have no heir. Usually you'll have a cousin or uncle who will inherit if you have no sons but you can be fucked over by RNG if you start as a count with no extended family. More than once I've had to pass the law that allows women to inherit when playing a count just because the game hates me and won't give me a legitimate son no matter what I do.

This level of inhumanity makes the game way too easy.

CK2 is for more character roleplaying since the game is forgiving of mistakes, If you are some proud, zealot cathar who is rivals with the head of HRE, and you went to war and lost, you wouldn't lose much other than prestige, if it was EU3/4 however you'd get annexed or get real fucked up
>>
>>343859826

You can conquer all of Ireland within ~2 years of the earliest start date assuming you grab a chancellor with 20+ diplomacy.

You probably wont have the money to form the kingdom, but you will own all the territory.

It involves hardcore memecraft.

They really don't have that ingame. There were plenty of shitty changes made in Conclave, changes to laws wasn't one of them.

It's just a dumb hill to die on especially when there's tons of other ahistorical shit in the game which is fun and in there for obvious gameplay reasons.

Through legislation, it is now possible to empower women by allowing them to take positions on the council. Most council positions first become available to women related to the ruler (dynasty members, close relatives, wives, and concubines), landed vassals, and in some cases nuns.

At the second highest level, it is possible for Muslims and nomads to pass Agnatic-Cognatic succession, which in turn allows matrilineal marriage. At the highest level, it is possible to pass the Absolute Cognatic succession law, and female rulers do not suffer opinion penalties. These changes are more significant to Muslims and nomads, who previously could only use Agnatic succession and patrilineal marriage.

On the scale of CK2 this is full political rights

There's ahistorical shit that adds to the fun, yes, but this is just blatant pandering because Johan needs more shekels

Are you retarded or just pedantic? It literally says grand strategy in the description of the game, not fucking ruler simulator
>>
>>343873601
I guess we think it was put in the game for different reasons then. I always figured it's just giving you something to do with all of the female characters in game if you really want to do it.

I don't see it as pandering to SJWs or however you're interpreting it. Sure if you want it to be more realistic there would be significant opinion penalties especially in muslim areas.

>>343874093
you have people constantly shitting up the paradox forms about muh inclusion and the devs actually listen

Eu4, HoI4 and Stellaris are all casualized to pander and eventually rake in more shekels

I like how the lunatic trait is actually a positive if you're playing a viking
it gives you an even that drastically boosts your martial AND duel score both of which can effectively substitute normal diplomacy for them

had 3 lunatic viking rulers in a row, it was hilarious

How often can you get the satanic child?

i played 780 hours so far in CK 2 and i never ever get it
>>
>>343875995
It seems pretty rare. Only got it once in like 500 hours of playtime. Same as wolf child, only once, though that one can be passed down to your children.

Stellaris is good, but I wouldnt call it a GSG (even though Paradox tries)

They pumped out some patches really quickly and its Paradox's most successful game so it will get a lot of support in the future.

>is stellaris any good


fuck no

I doubt it'll be playable even with the expected 2 years of patches and dlc

Sometimes you have to do some dirty, unsavory things in this game. Like murdering your inferior children to keep the bloodline pure. But in the end, seeing that emperor title before your character's name makes it all worthwhile.

Pretty rare. I remember seducing the nanny that comes with the kid and having a shit load of bastards before she offed herself.
