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.

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.

I went with beautiful albinos, but same idea

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

You just described the Total War series

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yep, @NoIWontPickAName@kbin.earth could look into Medieval 2 Total War for the combat where terrain, morale and troop fatigue matters, though it's sorely lacking in the incest department and internal political intrigue.

Alas, incest simulator three will just have to wait

On my last CK3 run I seduced the Pope, went on pilgrimage to Jerusalem, picked a twink in Syria, then made him a lord in Northern Italy upon our return, then my character lost his fucking mind and banged the man's wife
