Should I buy this game in 2026?

I’ve discovered this game some time ago, but only recently started researching it. Of course as a history fan, I found my bread and butter with all the features, options and gameplay this medieval world offers.

Then I’ve learned that on console things are a bit different than pc. Started with the delayed dlc and moved on towards performance and ui/controls issues.

In your honest opinion, is this game worth investing to? Are the delayed dlc coming sooner now with the new studio? How’s the performance in late game etc. I highly value performance and QoL as a player and I hope that all future dlc will someday be ported to console someday.

Thanks for your replies in advance.

New favorite starts post Roads to Power

So Roads to Power and new start date has been out a little over week, what are some people new favorite starts?. Here’s a couple of my favorites so far.

Personally for me Saladin with the conqueror trait has been absolute blast to play with.

Another one that I recently started playing is as a young Genghis Khan who has pretty damn good default stats for obvious reasons.

El Cid is another great start as well, I went from been landless be granted multiple lands to becoming King of Castille and Leon

I will take suggestions on some other starts as well

How do I destroy and Imperial Title?

I rule the custom empire of Sicily and I just concurred the HRE. I don't want to keep the HRE title and want to destroy it. However, I can't find the title

When I select titles under my character screen it only shows the Sicilian title. I know the HRE title still exists because it states my heir is going to inherit both Imperial titles.

So how do I find the title and destroy it?

Immortal with achievements exploit

Last night I was playing around and stumbled onto a mechanic that I figured could be used as an exploit to play as an immortal character who is fertile and keep achievements. I tested and it works. I created an immortal Norse asatru male 25 years old, then replaced him with a Norse asatru woman with shield maiden trait (must have), married the immortal, became an adventurer, once you are an adventurer you can adopt your husband as your dynasty and heir, mine had the bastard trait (not sure if this is necessary) he became a cadet branch of my dynasy. The immortal now says son husband, we had 2 children before she died of smallpox, upon her death he became the heir and I can play as an immortal who is fertile and I still have achievements. I don't reckon it will be much of a challenge to play but interesting none the less. I may play as an adventurer for awhile, travel around taking Merc contracts and see how many children he can have. Rn he's just camping in jorvik and taking contracts to help in whatever wars he can.

Wandering noble bug PS5

Joined a liberty faction contract on the promise I would receive the isle of man on completion. Got a 100% warscore when I end the war it removes my wandering camp, followers, troops etc and sends me back to Brugge with no land. I’m then stuck and can’t do anything definitely a game breaking bug if you plan on being landless.

Create Noble family?

This picture is from pc. You can see there is an option on the right to create your own noble family which essentially allows you to play landless but still as a lord in the empire.

Am I missing something or has this not been added on console? It seems that the only option to play as lord is to select Landless and then administrative and the game gives you some pre-existing characters from noble families that are Landless. However you CANNOT edit them to make them as you please...?

Reviving the sick Eagle of Eroupe 1178 Start date

Well today I manage to revive the economy and bring back the ancient borders of the eastern Roman Empire in one life time in iorn man. To be honest I thought that this was going to be difficult but if I had to give a rating out of 10 it would be maybe a 5.5 due to it taking a minute for the 4th crusade to be directed towards you. This in turn lets you get your economy and millitary in order counter the invaders. I would also like to mention how many conquerors there are in this start date yet weren’t much of a hassle. Well here is the finished product let me know if you want numbers on the economic pull or how I standardized the millitary for this run. We’ll mention my entire army is composed of kataphraktoi and bombards.

Question regarding the state of CK3 console edition multiplayer

As the title says, I have a few questions regarding the current state of the multiplayer aspect of CK3. Since I couldn't find answers I'm looking for specifically (i got mainly answers for the PC version of the game or the very outdated ones that don't resemble the current state of the console edition)

*Does the game often desync in a group of, say, 2-3 people?

*Does the DLC policy on the PC version work the same as on console? (The host has the DLC, the rest can use it). Or does everyone have to have the DLC when playing multiplayer on Console editon?

*What are your potential ways to diversify the gameplay in the console version that recently received the "Roads to Power" DLC?

*Potential tips for dealing with multiplayer problems that may arise

[i know that there's no crossplay between xbox and PS]

I'm genuinely asking because me and my friends are thinking of buying the game with all the console dlc's and playing it together on xbox

Anyway to create custom followers for your camp?

I was wondering if there was anyway to create custom followers for your landless adventurer’s camp? It’d be really cool to have a custom entourage for my player character.

Yeah I've been to a few places

Some of the royal courts reset due to war and instability, unfortunately. Otherwise, this run was super fun

RTP after 1 Week: Major Bugs I've Encountered and "Fixes" (upvote for devs to see)

FW: These are some of the major bugs I've encountered in the 1 week that I've had RTP. I have omitted some smaller bugs to put more of an emphasis on these, as these ones are more annoying in my opinion. I have also already tested usual band-aid fixes (restarting game, reloading save file, ...) which is most cases don't work (or lead to other bugs), thus I feel these bugs need special addressing.

1: Being unable to see the full character sheet of people in holdings because the holding sheet takes up most of the screen. When in a holding, you are also unable to hold L3 to inspect character.

Fixes for players: If you need to see stats like learning or prowess, go to the "On second thought" option and keep the character sheet open. When you exit a given location, you'll be able to see the character sheet for a short time before the holding menu comes up. I suggest you get close up if necessary, because it's a really short interval.

Fixes for devs: Making it so you're able to drag sheets around (like on PC) using L3 for example would be incredibly handy. You could make it so that you're able to grab a sheet when you're near the edge of one of drag it. Or, as a compromise, make the Inspect mode usable during this event.

2: if you start a contract, the option to continue to contract sometimes doesn't work. It usually displays the contractor's information, which makes you incapable of pressing the option. It may also have to do with the length of the contractor's name in comparison to that of the contract.

Fixes for players: As I alluded to before, this doesn't always happen. When it does, maybe try switching to it quickly instead of hovering over it too long? I havent gotten this one in a while so I havent been able to test it again.

Fixes for devs: Pretty straightforward, make it so that Inspect mode brings up the character overview instead of simply hovering over it.

3: Almost all of the characters' health is incorrectly displayed. I was playing an old character this one time and I was on "near death" for nearly a decade. The issue is also visible in the picture.

Fixes for players: None that I'm aware of, just take these calculations with a colossal grain of salt.

Fixes for devs: I wouldn't know how to fix this as I don't have the code.

4: All troop quality is also incorrectly displayed. As seen in the picture, John Doe with a few peasants and a pitchfork are equal in quality to my 2000 men-at-arms.

Fixes for players: Same answer as 3.

Fixes for devs: Same answer as 3.

5: During some contracts, the estimated time sometimes goes haywire and starts displaying goobledygook. This of course makes it annoying to estimate how much time a given thing will take, which is annoying when you want to build something in your camp as soon as something else is done building, or you're on a time limit for a given task or decision, among other reasons you can think of. This usually happens during quests where you need to visit multiple baronies.

Fixes for players: Reload save file, although this might make you run into 2, so just avoid those kinds of contracts if necessary

Fixes for devs: Same answer as 3.

P.S.: You can write ones you've encountered yourself below, so that they'll likely be addressed too if the devs ever see this.

Old saves with the new update

Had a run before the new update where I have about 3000 dynasty members by year 1068, and with the new update my game immediately crashes when I try to open the list of dynasty members.

I have been avoiding that for now but it is bound to make it unplayable for me, does anyone else encounter the same issue with their old saves ? or any other issues that I haven't encountered yet ?

I have put a lot of effort in this run and I really don't want to give it up ...

(I have been away for 1 week btw that's why I have just now been able to try the new update)
