Help

I am playing CK3 with all DLC and no mods.

I am having a dream run, and I was planning on this being my world domination gig. Its been going almost perfect. However I need/really want to reform my religion now, and its completely screwing up my well laid plans.

I am playing norse, want to reform asatru to set up my dynasty for the long haul (communion, astrology, esoteric with temporal HoF). I am trying to make it equal (than change succession law to male preference, but it still screws me even if I leave the gender thing be)

My current heir is my grandson by my first son (first son died unfortunately). The grandson is a great heir, and I have been building around him taking over. When I reform, it boots him as heir for my oldest living son (or daughter with gender law change)... even if my grandson is my current regent and converts at the time of reformation. The only reason I can think why, would be his dad is dead and so cant convert, or just some bug/stack issue or something.

This run has been going great and I dont want it derailed like this. I started from one county, have established the empire of Scandinavia, plus took the Kingdoms of Alba, Ireland, and Estonia... my witch coven is up and running, my bloodline is strengthened, I have the wiseman trait, Im 69 with excellent health and hopefully 20ish years left to keep setting this up for the heir. Its 936 AD and I really think I could world dominate this thing (plus I am getting achievements because I havent debugged yet and was under the creation point limit)

How can this be fixed? If nothing, is this a "bug" I can report to paradox and have them fix? If not, can I hard force this with console commands (even though I would rather not) without giving myself a ton of renown and prestige and then disinheriting a ton of people?

The Utaki faith is practiced by Ryukyuan people,tribal in 867 and 1066 start dates yet have access to the Early Medieval,albeit slower.

The entire point of this religion is to promote moutain growth,which Japan has a lot of mountains,but funnily the Island the Ryukyuan people are in are HILLS!

Meaning this Faith's doctrine is useless to them!

But it gets even funnier,all of their holy sites,all 5 of them,AREN'T EVEN IN MOUNTAINS!

With the holding of Fiji beign Floodplain.

Either this was an oversight or a mistake when the developers should have made the Ryukyuan's culture lands mountains.

But it is funny nonetheless...

this is just cruel at this point

60 holdings so you may make a bad duchy into a decent one,noooooooooooo bro,Paradox pleaseeeee!!!

Just make it so the Empire is the Kingdom!

And now that I have your attention, what are some other hostile/personal schemes you frequently make use of? I find myself very rarely pursuing schemes other than swaying. I think a big part of it is the low success rates presented to me for murder, which is what I want to do most often. If my player is intrigue focused, I’ll definitely murder more liberally and I’ll abduct characters, but I still rarely seduce/romance. I definitely am not fabricating books or stealing artifacts, etc.

I can see a few instances where seducing is valuable, but it’s often just a risk of becoming a criminal for a potential child that isn’t of your house. One is if a neighboring ruler is very powerful, getting his wife or her pregnant could dilute the succession. The other situation is if you’re a woman, you could seduce someone with good inheritable traits. Otherwise, I only see it as relevant for roleplaying and the memes—which is maybe all it’s supposed to be for.

Idk. What are some of the schemes you find yourself doing most often?

Not a big fan of the leavies thing , wondering if there is a mod that changed that so you could train bulk of armies to be simple soldiers and then have those men at arms groups , instead of bulk being peasant

(I'm sure this has been asked before, and I'm sorry that I am asking it again) With the new update, stewardship is no longer the best stat hands down. (At least before, it always was for me.) I'm curious what people think the best stat is now. I have pushed my heirs towards diplomacy when I have a large realm, but I do think that the best stat is knowledge, especially the scholarship tree. Early on, as a count or Duke, the martial stat is really good to have. Especially since you're unlikely to have any really good generals around, and you won't have a lot of troops to play with. Stewardship is still good for the income, And having architect during the time that you're going to be upgrading your buildings and your holdings is a really good thing.

But I think they also need to rework the way that the medicine tree works, because it doesn't actually prolong your life anymore.
