My oldest kids are in their 40's. I also have a two year old, a one year old, and two more kids on the way. I have great grandchildren who will be older then some of my own kids.
Wonder how common that would have been in real medieval times where siblings had that much of an age gap between them and great grandchildren were at times older then their great grandparents own kids.
The very first Pope said it was Pope Petrus who I am assuming is intended to be St. Peter.
Second one is Pope Limus......so on and so on. Aside from St. Peter of course who is believed to have existed by many are the other popes on this list entirely made up for the game?
I know for me I was a big fan of the original Vikings show that originated on the History channel and thought it was pretty cool once I got CK3 to play as those characters in the game.
Starting off as the Vikings will probably always be my favorite thing to do in CK3 throughout the entire time I am actively playing it.
Just out of curiosity do the characters from Vikings Valhalla have any representation in CK3?
The Saviors worked in the comic because the comic wasn't an action based story and it didn't need to have an action piece every other page and because of that the characters didn't need to be heavily armed and we didn't need dozens of new characters that we had never seen before popping out of every corner of our screen every episode.
The show was very much an action oriented show so it was necessary to have heavily armed characters popping onto our screen every episode. Prior to the saviors you could wave much of the disbelief off as gun battles will happen on occasion and the characters in the show will get into an occasional gun battle with an opposing group. But during the Savior conflict when it started happening virtually every single episode and all these survivors were just coincidentally around the same area even though the world was supposed to be devoid of people it became too much to just wave off.
I thought the Savior war was the best part of the entire comic but I feel like the show did a terrible job of adapting it. And it was always going to be hard to adapt when they chose to make the group we were following seemingly expert fighters.
The comic was much more about the day to day lives of these characters where as the show was basically a narrative wrapped around action sequences.
Slavery was a big part of the eras this game takes place in. Infact being captured held a real fear of being put into the slave trade. The closest CK3 really comes to that though is throwing characters into a dungeon or making them a concubine. So why did the game shy away from it. Is it because it could potentially offend some players?
Just curious because as someone who doesn't use any mods a lot of the character images people post on here seem a lot more detailed then the ones in my game are. Of course I always start at the earliest start point (867) and haven't gone further then about fifty years up to this point so they might get more detailed the further you go into the game. But just wondering because as of now a lot of portraits you guys post seem a lot more detailed then they are in my game.
I just had a kid born with red hair. The mother was a red head but I know in the game red hair is generally a recessive trait so both parents would have to have a red hair gene in order for their kid to have red hair. On the father's side though they have all had brown hair for many generations (with an occasional blonde sprinkled in). I know I did have a red headed concubine that my character had offspring with but that would have been three or four generations back (would have been the newborn's great great grandparents) and I will have to look back at the family tree but I don't think that concubine is in the direct line of the father of this child.
Will have to go back and see who the mothers were of the characters in the direct ancestry line for this character to see if there were any red heads sprinkled in there.
Main question is though is how far back can genetics go and still have an impact on the looks of a child.
Lol and it's funny that I have just as much fun looking into this kind of stuff as I do in playing the other aspects of the game.
Have many of you really looked into the story of the Bell Witch that much and if so do you think it was a lot of hogwash where the family was either making up stories or imagining things?
I'm guessing the original ideas the filmmakers of BWP got for the movie were in some ways inspired by the Bell Witch mystery.
