Crusader Kings III Available Now!
The realm rejoices as Paradox Interactive announces the launch of Crusader Kings III, the latest entry in the publisher’s grand strategy role-playing game franchise. Advisors may now jockey for positions of influence and adversaries should save their schemes for another day, because on this day Crusader Kings III can be purchased on Steam, the Paradox Store, and other major online retailers.
This thread is more than 5 months old.
It is very likely that it does not need any further discussion and thus bumping it serves no purpose. If you feel it is necessary to make a new reply, you can still do so though.
Ashkenazi and Sephardic cultures + Israel country are both included in game files for ck2 converts, I wish they will at least allow us to use them
I mean even port isn't necessary. They are already coded but unused or restricted.
There's one QoL I'd love: to be able to create custom messages/warnings by date.
For example, i choose that on 15/10/1457 the game pauses and has a pop-up with a message written by me.
Some cases I'd love to use this:
- When I send a navy/army across the world and it arrives in a given date. I often have to make sure I remember. I'd like to create a pop-up for that date without having to turn on messages for "every time an army arrives at a destination"
- I sometimes want to be reminded some months before a truce goes out
- When a disaster is happening, I'd like to create a message some months before the date so I remember to deal with it
- When I want to make a peace deal right before the year turn (for dealing with AE)
- When I don't want to forget the date I can raid coasts
Basically, instead of having more overly complex message settings, I'd love to be able to create my own messages sporadically (that may include pop-ups and pause)

This is a bug. I advise you to report it, then it will end up on my list of things to do and not leave there until it is fixed.
Some teeny tiny QoL changes that have always bugged me but would seem pretty easy to do
- Get rid of explorers and just have generals be explorers if you unlocked explorers
- Let me boot generals that suck even if they are in charge of an army, instead of having to remove them from the army first
- Please have a dialog for when my best ally gets annul treaties on them and I didn't even notice
And something less QoL
Estate management is a pain because all the things you want to do are split over two entirely different screens I find I'm always having to switch back and forth between these to manage estates and I feel like they should just be all in one place

I would love to See all of this finaly implemented into the game!!
looking forward for a extended list of life improving changes and Additions.
keep up tue good work.
edit:
perhaps It has already been mentioned but I would Like to have a list of All my states, so that I know which states to unstate so that I can State newly conquered states Who habe 10 Times the worth of my worst state. its a Pain to click through all the lands I own to find it manually.
such a list could be added to the ledger perhaps? showing all the states and teretories with their development and estemated income.

Sadly you are right.
Apart from color vomiting there is nothing in EU4. Thats not even enough to call it a Grand Strategy Game.
And instead of finally starting to actually make the game better after the last few disasterous DLCs PDXs seems to be content to just streamline blobbing.
you can find a list of your states and terretories with their amount of dev in your stability tab. just hover over the amount of states or terretories.
Showing the age of generals and admirals is a thing I've been wanting for a long time, glad to see it may be finally added. I'm currently playing as Tunisia and I fully agree with adding a raid map mode and a notification when raiding is available again. I would also prefer if the raid button/action was a toggle that I can turn on and my ships will raid as they follow the route I've set for them, having to press the button for every province is rather tiresome.
I'm rejoicing with glee, seeing that my suggestion from 3 years ago has made it into closer consideration :3
Hey, first of all thanks for the new devdiary!
I have one thing in mind which coul be a good improvement:
When transferring occupied lands to vassals/allies, you have to click on each province and do the same thing over and over. It is frustrating especially for me as I like to have big powerful vassals in late game. Maybe an option to transfer all o a state or something like that to solve this problem?
If there's a way to do this already, my apologies, I'm only 700 hours into the game

WARNING: LONG
It's not really about QoL but I'd like a rework of some GC mechanics;
I believe holy orders should be a colonial-only/extra-european institution (they were naturally present in Europe but 1)they can be represented by the clergy estate 2)they did not have remotely as much influence as they have now and 3)It doesn't make much sense) and should have interesting and flavorful events.
Expel minority should be changed to its core or be replaced by a different mechanic because it doesn't make any sense at all in the current form (muslim spanish colonies, burgundian and italian territories hispanicized, deminished cultural diversity in the old world).
This is my idea to rework the mechanic:
make it so that only heretics can be expelled, and make the provinces of the expelled minority become of the true faith AND with only a small chance, decreasing with development, of converting it's culture. The new world province is of the expelled minority's religion and culture.
Other small mechanics that could be added would be:
-decisions or events to open up the new world for accepted and culture group cultures if they make up at least a certain % of the development, increasing settler chance or growth and giving the province a culture dependent on % of cultures (the effects would be disallowed if the primary culture makes up an overwhelming part of the country to avoid exploitation).
-Events for Castille, Spain or Navarra regarding the Basque in the Americas.
-Rare events for the establishment of heathen colonies
-Events regarding the ulster scots for England/GB if Scotland is owned by them or non-tributary subject. (RB)
-Events and modifiers making Ireland harder to convert to a non-catholic christian religion. (RB)
Also please make it so that CN actually convert to a certain extent religion and culture, I'm pretty sure that Mexico by the 1800's wasn't predominantly nauhatl.
I will be genuinely happy if even one of these gets implemented and I genuinely hope this is seen by a developer.
TL;DR: holy order as an extra-european only mechanic, expel minority can be used only on heretics and religiously converts the province but have only a small chance of culturally converting the home province, colonial flavor, CN convert.

One thing I would very much like to see in EU4 is that when you have set up a peace deal ready, the game would notify you when the enemy would accept the deal so you don't have to fight half a year extra simply because you didn't constantly check if they'd accept the deal yet or not.
STOP! COOKIE TIME
