      It is the way of the Medival Period, but only for the aristocracy. Plus, taking the family focus afterward means that 9 Times out of 10 your character will find love even in an arranged marriage.

    Wounded, Stressed, Depressed. Add some health to deal with the negative effects and then use the rest of those points wisely. You can live well with 3,5 or 4,0 health.
    All these traits will disappear with time and you'll be left with more points, more health.
    The basics of CK2 character creation.

    Hey Quill! I have an idea for names with numbers, this is what I usually do when I want to include people's usernames in games and they have numbers:
    Give each number a syllable, you can just do something similar to English, like this: 1=ó 2=tu 3=tre 4=fo 5=fi 6=si 7=se 8=ei 9=ni 0=ze
    Using this, 2e71828, which, all respect to the highest donor, is a horrible name for a character and really wrecks the immersion, would end up like so: Tueseóeituei. Looks much more like a name of sorts, right? It's not perfect and the result is quite exotic, but working with that it's at least better than an unrelatable string of words, and shouldn't be impossible to pronounce either. Works better with short strings:
    Tueseó Eituei Anonymous
    Quill Óei
    My birth year: Óninifo

    • @selina2052
      @selina2052 Před 6 lety +26

      Agreed!! Especially since number-names are already hard and annoying to say, it would make the game much more immersive

    • @gummansgubbe6225
      @gummansgubbe6225 Před 6 lety +7

      2e71828 is an amazingly great name. For some short moments I read it as "e", with the abbrivation 2e. But of course it is not e, or 2.7IbsenIbsen as I learned in school. It is 2e71828.

    • @lordysl1808
      @lordysl1808 Před 6 lety +13

      Alternatively he could just try to make up some kind of realistic name that is somewhat related to the original username.
      I'm pretty sure that 2e71828 would be perfectly fine if Quill had named his character "Euler"...

    • @youbringlightin

    Always nice to come back to CK2 every once in a while, especially when an update happens. I hope you get involved in the eventual crusades, if only so we can see the new changes they made to the Middle East, which I hope they do similar things for more regions in the futures, because as it is some areas are just...weirdly square and or artificial feeling. I’m looking at you duchies of Osterreich, Meissen, Saxony, Essex, Gloucester, and Kiev (we most of the Ruthenian and western Russian duchies really).

    9:35 What you can do with CKII at least is back up your Iron Man save; after every episode you can do a manual save, copy the save file to another folder (renaming it based on the episode number recorded to keep track). If something happens with an episode, you can overwrite the original with the backup and you can replay it without trouble. I've been doing that for my playthroughs since I started using the achievements to direct my campaign goals beyond just "survive and expand" type campaigns. Thought I'd offer that tidbit in case you weren't aware. :)

    In one of my playthroughs for CK2 (I was playing as an Irish Tribal Lord) I had a bunch of children; then one of them turned out to be a suspected spawn of statan. Then all my kids began to die one by one, even the ones who weren't even in my court, except for that suspected spawn child of the devil. Then just when I only had one son left, I killed that spawn. It was the best decision I ever made.
    10/10 would do again.

    Speaking of marrying for love. As a Muslim Sultan, I just had two of my secondary wives fall in love, run off with each other, and then jump off a cliff when I chased them down.
    When I create my own character, I always start off with Wounded. It gives me -11 years, and will USUALLY (but not always) heal.

    So the baby has been giving her chest pains and headaches? Or is there some other cancerous growth going on here?

    Why would you go for diplomacy? Diplomacy is worthless in ck2 until you have a large empire and need to manage dozens of vassals, because by then you don't need stewardship since your realm will be super centralized. Martial is the most useful in the early game, most useful as a count. More troops to conquer more counties, become a duke, fabricate on your liege's throne, and then you can worry about the soft sissy traits. If you're going to say diplomacy is good for the opinion boost, the high prestige you gain from winning battles and wars with a high martial character more than makes up for it.

    What is this Paris place? Are you perhaps referring to Brussels?

    Perhaps this will help me learn how to play the game proper.
    So far the best game of it I had was where I created a custom character who was powerful stats-wise and had lusts. So he had a daughter with his mistress (who he in his last years legitimized) and a son with his wife.
    He was the teacher to both his children. For the daughter, she inherited or learned all the positive traits that she could from the father, and was later married off to the emperor of Byzantium. (I was sort of surprised he accepted the marriage, considering my social standing - but she was super human) Meanwhile the son got a mass of negative traits - he was twisted both physically and spiritually. Almost universally reviled. Even later by his wife and children.
    So when he died - of course I got to play as the screw-up half brother of the Empress who everybody hated. So it was basically sitting on the back waters of the empire, with a line of screw ups, while the half-sister was going between kicking all kinds of ass in military campaigns and popping out wonder children, who naturally were all super humans themselves.
