"The request itself may also be rejected once heard, and the odds of acceptance by the AI will be tipped more in your favor if you make reasonable requests and maintain good relations after all, your boss doesn’t want to be seen as unreasonable," dev diary 74 explains. Lieges can decide whether to receive petitioners, although not doing so will lead to gaining the reputation of a tyrant. Dev diary 74 mentions a total of 14 options that you'll also encounter when you step into the shoes of a liege, "ranging from helping you convert your lands to paying off your debts."Ĭrusader Kings III: Royal Court's Petition Liege decision acts as an avenue of attempting to get something without instantly declaring war. I hope you have plans to re-use the framework for this expansion on similar expansions in the future, it would be a shame to see the court alone realised in this fashion.The decision gives you the chance to ask for a council position, a title on which you hold a claim, or help with dismantling a faction that threatens the stability of your realm. It also opens up so many other opportunities for role-playing in an area that hasn't seen much development since the release of CK2 (build a stack - send it at the enemy - watch the numbers whittle down). It's quite simple using the framework for what you are already putting together for the court. This system is highly malleable and doesn't have to be an intense load on the GPU and engine, seeing as the 3D models doen't need to move.
There either the retreat, dealing with wounded or captured soldiers and commanders could be the events.
Then lastly, a third 3D shot post-battle in which we see the post-battleifeld. These could be battle duels, or directions for reserve troops for those that lead from the front or rear. This could then be followed by a second 3D shot, mid-battle, in which certain events immediately relevant to the character fire off.
It strikes me that the system you have designed for showing the court in 3D, that then may be interacted with via customisation and court events, could be a highly replicable system for other scenarios.įor example, a still 3D shot of a battlefield pre-battle in which you can see your commanders and knights gathered, interact with them, customise the army (formations and tactics that can have broader options for those with relevant lifestyles).
