one way to go hellenic as a byzantine could be let your child be educated by a taltolist, so that it gets that religion, and then, when you play as that child, the conversioncost to hellenism is cheaper.

[@chrisleong5190]

Even as an unreformed pagan it would take like 50000 piety to convert

[@Fankas2000]

@@chrisleong5190 There is a perk that cuts the cost in half, but that leaves it at 25k, in other words impossible.

[@chrisleong5190]

@@Fankas2000 The prophet perk reduces reform and new faith cost by 50%, and the apostate reduces convert cost by 75%, but both are additive not multiplicative so the piety cost would still be extremely high. That said, I think I already have found a legit strategy to convert to Hellenic as a Norse character by farming piety using truce break raid for captives against 5 counties at the same time and execute the prisoners having all your men at arms be maxed siege engines. Need the flexible truce break perk and the bellum justice perk.

They may keep the nomadic update for a real big mongol/chinese expansion, which will make this area of the world a LOT more fun to play.

"Basileus" means "emperor, meaning that your character is called Emperor Basil I

[@yourhandsomestep-dad2669]

Basileus means “King” in greek. It was used to describe Greek Kings before Rome existed. Given that the term basileus was used as a term for Eastern Emperors it reflects the fact that the position of Emperor was solidly hereditary at that point.

[@DanteWT1]

Basileus (Βασιλεύς) means "King". Αυτοκράτωρ means "Emperor". Basil I, Emperor and Autocrat of the Romans.

[@CHICtributecom]

@@yourhandsomestep-dad2669 Basileus was the equivalent of Emperor in the Greek-speaking half of the Roman Empire. The Roman Empire never had hereditary rule, it was not a dynastic state, neither during classical times or during the Middle Ages. Yes it meant a certain type of King-ship in pre-Roman times, but changed its meaning when it was used for the Greek language version of Emperor. Constantinople up until 814 only recognized two other rulers as Basileus, The Persian King of Kings (later the Caliph), and the King of Ethiopia. Charlemagne was recognized after he, in a treaty, renounced that he was Augustus/Basileus of the Romans, and only Basileus of the Franks. Because there was only one Emperor/Augustus/Basileus of the Romans, and that was the ruler in the Roman capital of Constantinople.

[@tomfreeman6294]

Also worth pointing out (according to some Greek chap I know) It would have been pronounced as a V, so it's not just Basil twice

A lot less tedious to reform, but the game cruelly lacks event and flavor, to me right now, there's no real reason to convert to CK3 and just stay to CK2, I also fear futur DLC will most likely be things they ''forgot'' to put in CK3 that was in CK2, shame.

[@zackfair_og]

I was introduced to CK through III and I loved it so much I got CK2 with all DLCs and I'm trying to get into it just because of all the content. Obviously there's a larger attention to detail in the second one. For example you can raise vassal levies, something you can't do with 3 for some reason...

[@oldylad]

Zack Fair in 3 the vassal levies are included in your main levy, I like the system they have more because it stops so from just wiping your vassals smaller stacks while they are moving to the main army. Ck2 is, quite frankly, not better at all. I've been playing it for 6 years and even now with 20 hours in 3 I think it's better in pretty much every way

[@apersononlineyes6554]

The game will certainty get better in a year or two

[@FlightofCrows]

The point of CKIII is to be a different game than CKII. That's why it's a new title rather than a graphical re-release. I'm not a paradox fanboy by any means, but it seems rather silly to complain about mechanics in CKII being "missing" in CKIII. They aren't missing. The idea is to create new mechanics, and that's difficult to do without being bogged down with the labyrinthine programming endemic to CKII after half a decade of development. Far easier to start a new project from a clean slate than to try replace old mechanics developed in CKII without breaking all those other old mechanics in the process. If you want to complain about Paradox charging too much for it's DLC, then I support you, but like you said, if you want the mechanics of CKII, then go play CKII.

[@zackfair_og]

@@oldylad I've got to agree with you here. I tried getting into CK 2 after getting it a couple of days ago but CK III is clearly superior

[@sapphire2421]

The quality of an army depends solely on the prowess of your knights, or whatever is the equivalenz to them in the culture or religion you are playing as.

More than that, it's more the quality of the men at arms and knights as well as the ratio between those two and the levies

Question. is it possible to raise troops seperately rather than all at once on the military tab i.e i only want to raise my knights and man at arms. I dont need levies. And it will be easier on my finances. I know you can split and disband armies once they are on the field but that takes time and effort to do especial since knights are on the bottom of the screen and you need to scroll past rows of levies each time

You can raise local armies by moving or having several rally points. I don't know about specific troops yet though.

I am a little puzzled that the game talks about the Great Schism between the Roman Catholic and the Roman Orthodox churches before 1054? Before 1054, at least officially, both churches was part of the unified Roman state church (and the head of that church was the Roman Emperor). Before 1054 one cannot really talk about a Catholic and an Orthodox Christian church.

[@YourLocalMairaaboo]

Yeah. Just roleplay it as the widening gap that lead to the schism. Taking the Mend the Great Schism decision before that date is just preempting the schism from ever occuring.

Making Rome the Capital again was a big NO NO in my book. Constantinople has far surpassed it by this point, and has the advantage of being at one of the most strategically important locations on Earth. Should have kept it at Constantinople!

[@CHICtributecom]

I fully agree. Given the precedent of Justinian's reconstruction in the 6th c. it would be very unlikely that this reconstruction in the 10th c. would have made the Romans to move their capital from splendid Constantinople, the biggest city in all of Europe, to a run down small town like Rome, despite the historical significance. Justinian made Ravenna his Italian viceroy's capital (The Exarch) not Rome.

I'm curious to hear if anyone has ever formed 2 empires under their rule in CKII. I'm attempting it presently. I already have 1, and I've also got a kingdom in each of the pre-existing Hispania and Francia empires. I also got Constantinople from the Byzantines, and have 2 kingdoms in the yet to be formed Scandinavia. Essentially, I'm running the usurpation of 3 empires on the side, and I'm not doing too bad, if I say so myself. Literally everyone wants me dead and is in a joint defensive pact against me, but it's not like they can do anything anyway. I think I can get at least 1 of the empires.
