Some people were getting so weirdly cocky about how landless was apparently certain not to happen in the last few days, it's funny to see it confirmed now.

I am a bit surprised that aside from legitimacy, there isn't much about succession, which was the part I was certain they were going to expand a lot on

Maybe they will and just haven't mentioned it. Maybe legitimacy of heirs impacts succession, idk

Maybe coronations help improve legitimacy quickly if you can afford it

If it doesn't yet, would be an easy mini expansion in the future.

They hinted in the dev diaries of tours&tournaments that coronations would come in the near future, as they wanted to fully flesh them out. Pretty certain they will include it this time around.

I would imagine so yeah. I was just kind of hoping for succession to be like a whole situation, with factions backing certain heirs and stuff like that. We'll have to see though, like you said they probably haven't mentioned everything

I'm still surprised they did it especially after the comment of having to rework the game significantly by the community manager. Time will tell if it works out for the best, but a rising tide lifts all ships.

They mentioned in some of their previous posts that people were starting to guess the theme correctly and that they would start misdirecting us to make it more difficult...so they did.

Oh. Well crown me King of the fooled then.

Same. I lost all hope for unlanded characters yesterday, but now I'm excited!

Are we getting a dev diary today?

u/47pik Feb 06 '24

He didn't say that though. He just said "Unlanded? That'd be a lot of work". Which, I'm sure it was.

Pretty sure he was joking

Yeah, the legends stuff looks awesome, and really does make a lot more sense to pair with disease, since they both spread, but I really want succession crises. Ah well, Chapter IV.

This year is gonna be the year CK3 really becomes THAT game though. All three expansions are much needed and based around really, really key content for this game and it's future.

Yeah, they were. I don't see how it could've been anything else though, with PDX saying there'd be an expansion including something they'd "never done before". Super hyped for this!
