Imagine this: you're the king of great moravia, 867. You're 57, and have no children, but with suprisingly great health.

Suddenly, something's... wrong. The stereotypes, power struggle, discussions between men and women in your palace... swap. Men are weak now, men provide for their children, men's only use is war and reproduciton - what is going on?

But before you figure that out, the 16yo Czech Bohemian duchess (wasn't there a duke there yesterday) sends you a big pile of money and asks to marry. You think sure, and she has no relatives - your son get to rule all of Czechia. But your council doesn't approve: a patriarchal marriage? Even though it is between King and Duchess, somehow, your dynasty won't live on simply because you're a man, and in this world, inferior.

Context: I made gender rights inverted in #CK3 and so far this campaign is ultra funny, makes Bohemia extremely overpowered especially with a learning focus

Steam is such a pro-consumer platform. I managed to reduce the cost of a bundle from 488.40 to 175.55 (43.87 euro) simply by being two items from the entire bundle from eneba

I'm now checking how much it'd cost to base my stuff off of the starter edition instead, will post my calcs when I buy

I get madly invested in the family lives of my #CrusaderKings3 characters.

Previously on #CK3 : a large Irish dynasty led by a caring patriarch. I decided he couldn't bear to see his kids married to people who wouldn't care for them. Unlike his fathers, he married only once. Allowed all his kids to grow up with all the rowdy, independent choices. I imagined his family evenings as loud and chaotic, and all his kids telling their friends and relatives that Dad doesn't have a braincell but he's very kind.

Now I've got an Anglo-Saxon schemer in Northumberland with a learned but unworldly brother. I'm still developing my ideas about this character, but I've already imagined an exasperated conversation with the brother about how the Normans have invaded, so now we have to look out for ourselves.

Y'know they say all kings are created equal, but you look at me and you look at Louis II and you can see that statement is NOT TRUE

but I'm a 🧬 GENETIC FREAK, 🧬 and I'm not normal.

Ah bordel #CK3, le DLC aventurier m'a fait reprendre gout au jeu. Je fait un super groupe d'aventurier, j'ai une grosse armée et puis je me décide de me mettre quelque part en pennant un territoire et après évidemment ça part en nawak... J'ai plus de thune pour mon armée, je me rend compte que le territoire que j'ai pris ai en fait juste un comté, la plupart de mes voisins sont en fait 5 fois plus fort que moi...

J'en reviens au point habituel et j'ai aucune idée ce que je suis censé foutre.

Je dois dire que le DLC Wandering Nobles m'a un peu réconcilié avec Crusader Kings 3.

Ca fait une porte d'entré un peu accessible, y a plus de trucs à faire (même si ça reste répétitif) et quand ton perso meurt t'as moins cette impression de devoir recommencer de 0 avec le successeur.

Crusader Kings 3 c'est vraiment le genre de jeu qui a l'air excellent quand tu vois des gens y jouer mais quand c'est toi devant ton PC t'as là "Euh bah euuh alors faut que je fasse euuh... Pourquoi ça marche pas en fait ? Ah merde je suis mort... Bon okay..."
