Unlike in CK2, when a civil war is declared faction members do not form a new temporary realm. Either way, once Discontent reaches 100% the Faction will soon deliver their ultimatum at that point, their liege must either accept their demands or fight all joined faction members in a civil war. Stronger Factions acquire Discontent rapidly in an attempt to seize the moment, while weaker Factions hem and haw a little in the hopes that more supporters will join their cause. Factions also have a Discontent score, which gauges how close the Faction is to sending their ultimatum.įactions will begin accruing Discontent once their Military Power goes over a certain threshold, typically 80%. Factions that grow large enough will eventually deliver an ultimatum to their liege, demanding certain concessions in exchange for continued peace.Īll Factions have a Military Power rating, which is a ratio between the combined military strength of all members and the military strength of their liege. Much like in CK2, vassals who are unhappy with the current state of affairs in the realm will create a Faction that other vassals can then join. Hello kings and queens, dukes and duchesses! I am back with another Dev Diary, and today we’re going to be talking about Factions and Civil Wars in Crusader Kings III!
