100 Development in 100 Years with 'Industrious' Exploit - Crusader Kings 3: Royal Court [Outdated] 

sad

this^. my strat before the dlc was go to normandy, make normans, take isle of mann, convert it to norman, heir is norse, make isle of mann the capital, raid until mann is up to dev 15 through raiding for slaves events, heir converts all of normandy to norse when i become him, then by abour year 910-920ish you're sitting on a 35+ dev single county culture of norman. it was insanely op.

true but its much harder to get it now since living legend takes twice as much prestiege to get.

@@TfuckyoutubeC used to do the same but don't like the culture benefits of Norman.

@@nathan3859 then change the culture benfits ;)

thats 2 easy ;)

i think it's intentional, would be pretty underwhelming if you only got 2 free dev per era per castle

its prob not a bug its an exploit its 'intended'

Nah it's quite decent u also get development upgrading buildings and if u also develop it with the steward its become op later on the point is to not make it game breaking

Assume you start in a 7 barony province, (let's take Madurai as an example) , each barony has 3 building slot and the county capital has an extra (22 building slot), normally a building can be upgraded twice each era so that 44 upgrades you can do, + the 7 of the holding which means each era there will be 51 possible upgrades, that 12.75 levels of development. So I would say decent in big counties (but underwhelming in small counties)

@@fireduckz3765 12.75 dev over 500 years is nothing. The importance of development resides in a comparison relative to your other provinces or to AI. You have waves of investment paired with techs in which you'd jump some 2 dev or so. Basically the maximal output you get with buildings brought to lvl2, where you get an increase of some 1% taxes and a couple of % fascination increase speed. Afterwards is a diminishing return, whereas something like ++++ knights effectiveness (is a tradition which gives +100% iirc) or children more likely to accept take vows (Monastic communities) are either significantly important for most of game either increasingly important. If significant development is your goal look at something like Collective lands+Republican legacy+City keepers+bonus to respective terrain (if is not plains, which is overlooked for some reason)+eventually coastal bonuses (Maritime/Seafaring). these giving permanent growth, not some jumps here and there.

if you play tall,this is absolutely insane. But you have to build up your villages and churches aswell.

greece and spain is fairly built out but on low dev it seems decent. first replacement should give but future ones shouldn't.

I'd argue it needs reimagining, since it's unimpressive without exploiting it

Maybe they had more faith in their audience. This is a cute exploit. But I don’t play CK3 to get 100 development ASAP.

I mean it makes no sense that you get development by replacing buidings tbh

nice idea, but then the tradition kinda sucks without the exploit. how about slapping a popular opinion/control/tax/levy penalty for replacing buildings? then you buff the tradition: t1 buildings add 25 dev, t2 buildings add 50 dev, t3 buildings add 75 dev, t4 adds 100 dev and so on and so forth.

@@elbalerto Then that hurts everyone that doesn't have the culture when they replace buildings.

@@elbalerto when you go feudal the base ones convert to random so 1 replacement is understandable but repeating it not. it wouldn't be good in advanced parts of the world like greece or spain, as they got all churches and cities already I think (sevilla doesn't, not sure whats empty in greece). but you can replace the traditions once you built all out so I don't think it's bad (the stress gain is noticeable tho if you aren't czech, as they got that 'life is a joke' that counters it but others dont). I think 10-15 development is good enough, some places go crazy once you hit 15. like the kingdom of Hungary. The western part, Transylvania is mostly hills and forests and starts on 3-5 development and only goes up after the migration, the decision supposed to give 1 development for all under 5 but by the time you do it they are 4-5. There is Temes duchy where a city spawns kind of early, and the vassals on stewardship might buff it up (3-4 duchies are quite big but Hungary is biggest kingdom in the game so you got like 9-10 duchies). anyway when I played it, I didn't focus on pushing development, and they surpassed me in a lifetime going from 10 to 17 development with a single steward, so yeah, it only late until you got a decent steward and 10+ dev. And since the de jure empires got the border there, anything past Poland, Hungary and Croatia is starting tribal and their religions can survive if you play it right, so it makes sense taking this pillar.

you can research all before 1000. if you want to still raid then do human sacrifice, it allows raids in feudal for captives, 5 or 10 guaranteed when you win plus the ones you took (sadly doesn't say who is marked for sacrifice and gives negative opinion if you don't kill those 5). you can do Magyar culture by moving capital to Odessa (holy site, first take the capital decision) or any of 4 counties then make vassals accept local traditions (norse vassals insta convert). Then you can get 3 holy sites in Budapest (esztergom), Pozsony (Bratislava), Odessa, Kerch(Krimea), the fifth is far in Khazaria. But there are cities in Kerch and Chilia too so good to own the edge of Black sea, Slovakia also has a gold mine not just the holy site. Kind of has to be custom empire tho. Russia takes too long and Khazaria is a bunch of low quality land with lots of disputes but you can take Carphatia/Hungary and if you prefer catholic, you can go Krstjani (holy sites in croatia/bosnia and also Budapest but the other county ). Also you can take another decisions to go Hungarian (not sure on pillars now) and get some small boost and custom innovations (gives 2 random but if you got all normal ones you get special ones). You need a catholic faith for that but you can go back to Táltosism too. I gotta play it again :)

Bohemia is a very good start for new players. It is very flexible and stable realm

Mali is so broken. Was playing wide and by the end I had so much money I was just building temples anywhere I could because what's the different between 20k and 30k gold when I'd rather see my non-Abrahamic religion have fervor out the ass.

you want to stay in kiev with dyre. you could go someone else and take a city in north sea, form the jomsvikings then move around.

@@laszlobandi6456 Nah, went for the Kingdom of Mann because of the "Stolen City" modifier which is 50% build cost and a whopping 200% Build Time reduction Also took Sardinia but slammed into not being ready to handle all the cash my Varangians now cost

They should rework this. You get development for every holding upgrade

I assume some save scumming but nothing further really needed. That character was built to not die.

He has Fecund, Herculian, Whole of Body and Temperate. These bonuses gives you very massive boost to your health. You can also give him Stubborn trait to counter any health negative traits

There's also a tradition that boosts the dev cities give. Combine this with coastal cities and you can get 50% dev increase just from your coastal cities alone.

they messed up some stuff with the update, like dynasty of many crowns doesn't say it needs 10 but it won't work, or the univercities.

I was thinking the same, since when can you recover from gout?

@@Lowdian I had smallpox. I lost it, said the message. it was weird I still had spots, then I realized I lost smallpox and got great pox. I lost it by hiring a miracle woman. but not before my husband got it. then I tried to divorce and I got it again. then we both lost it again :) btw there are some court interactions that make you gout ridden, mainly upgrading to 5 star food, you don't really need 5 star for lvl 10 grandeur, just the lodgings and the fashion, the rest is fine on 4 star.

At 100 development you get 50% more taxes and levies. Higher development also allows you to go through your innovations much faster.

@@martinaustin6230 it also trickles down to surrounding counties slowly. the ones on the side were already like 10-12 dev, I'm sure they would hit 30 by the time he jumps the eras and unlocks the next levels. even the ones 2 away from prague, which were outside Bohemia were a bit more yellow than others. Best example is Capua, it's between Rome and Napoli and it is higher than both by the end, without ever being a capital or being pushed.

Choose traits that buff health, retain excellently talented physicians, explore the entire scholarly health skill tree, select experimental treatments for cancers and gout.

Jeah but do you want to change your character every 20 min? I prefer to wage war against my siblings for 3 generations.

...in addition to an insane gold mine special building!

@@molybdaen11 All you have to do is combine the seniority succession and the tier 4 feudal authority or whatever it's called. Then, just designate whoever you want as your heir and win.

@@IceNinja18 That works together? Never tested it. Usually the game screws me over with a undesirable heir anyway.

I did 31-32 in 5-6 counties by 950 without any of this. but you probably want to take another culture like russian or magyar. the rest wasn't too imrpessive, starts on 2 pillars and some weird ones, maybe 'mari' was okay. technically you can add up to 6 pillars, or merge, spread it a bit then diverge and add another. One time I tried to do both the conversion to magyar and steal their migration but it's really not optimal :) it's worth diverging with a capital like kiev, and it's better to diverge after the research for adding/replacing a pillar is done, since it puts you on 50 year cooldown. there is an exploit for tribal religions with divorce always allowed (or even if it has to be approved). you can divorce and marry over and over and choose the prestige gain. easy 600 to 1200 prestige each time so you can buy any of the pillars. they are cheaper in the right combo, I think bureocratic it's 6000-6500 prestige to take industrious. russian has druzina which is an armored footman but the other pillars kind of weak. magyar has horse holders and horse archers (also I think armored horse is earlier), quite decent except the tribal diplomacy pillar, which is okay with matriarch diplo rulers for extra levies but it's -5 opinion for feudal. I think you can reform magyar still into hungarian if you take Carphatia later. It replaces the horse archers with konni which is a downgrade but you can start 3-4 stacks and upgrade later. dyre also has the decision to make vassals adopt the local traditions, which is converting both culture and faith into your capitals current. so you can do russian/slovaskian or magyar/taltos, but also you can just convert faith to asathru. taltos and asathru is similar, the holy sites are better for taltos, and the new patch actually changed the tenets, bloth is worse than sacrifice and ancestor worship is the only good one. I like custom religion with monogamous, close kin taboo, witchcraft, female priests with marriage and temporal revocable, and control as function. mainly because you can use those lowborns to marry away female priests with sins and keep fervor high.

he picked traits that give bonuses to health. Probably went down the learning path that gives strong body as well.
