    I have to admit, diplomacy can indeed be very strong. In one of my games, I played the child king of France in 1066. By simply using vassalage, I managed to gain control of all the Italian duchies and counties that broke away from the HRE during the first years. I then asked the Emperor to become my liege and by the huge opinion buff I had at that point, I then got elected as successor. My caracter unfortunately died before he could become Emperor but in the second generation I then united France, Italy and Germany under the HRE, and all that in only like 40 years in total.

      It's pretty OP if used correctly and I think it's necessary for a huge empire. I managed to befriend the pope and neutralise Europe as a Pagan Scandinavia through diplomacy, granted I needed to reform Astaru into accepting Jesus first.
      I'm at the point where I don't know what to do, maybe pick on the Muslims since the Catholics are no longer hostile. Its made my game game boring.

    That vassalization strategy is sooo good for Scotland (in 1066). I was able to unite Scotland, Mann and Ireland all in one lifetime without a single war (civil wars dont count). Only downside is you probably are gonna have some really powerful vassals (plus side is there is very few of them so its easy to make them all happy) as you should condense your realm together or else you will have 50 million powerful vassals who all want a seat on the council.

    This is like, tip of the iceberg. Example, a favorite strategy of mine -- using diplomacy in conjunction with intrigue and carefully planned wars can let you expand faster and further by educating your neighbor's heirs into your own faith and culture. Then you can force vassalization or dynastic marriages, and never have to worry about hostile neighbors again.

  • @ComradeCorwin
    @ComradeCorwin 2 роки тому +60

    I think diplomacy would be a lot more popular if it wasn't always treated as a basic number cruncher in games. War technically is the same to some extent with a little RNG for spice, but the way it plays out feels more organic and gripping in its design. Why do all grand strategy games miss out on making negotiations the tense tactical skirmishes they are in real life international politics?

  • @The_Crimson_Lion
    @The_Crimson_Lion 2 роки тому +406

    Diplomacy is the weakest but it's not horrendous . Martial is obviously great at conquering stuff and increasing control, with stewardship you can roleplay as Scrooge McDuck and hoard a pile as big as the empire state, with intrigue you can control the world from the shadows and learning is great at keeping you alive and discovering inventions. So diplomacy isn't bad, it's just the least appealing option.

    • @SnapStrategy
      @SnapStrategy  2 роки тому +71

      That's fair! i think Paradox did a decent job making the skill trees pretty balanced, there's always going to be some that's more played than others, like Stewardship to horde all the gold, and learning to buff your character loads!
      Probably for me martial is the least used, i sometimes go there though to get 50% off starting wars!

      All of the skill trees are very viable if you play to their strengths. I still remember my one playthrough as a reformed warmongering Buddhists faith. My leader was a man whore. Suduced the wife of the byzantine emperor got her to my court she brought 2 of her kids with her. Converted them married them to my heirs. Game didn't like that ended up murdering them but not before the heirs had kids so I had claims to the byzantine empire.

    Diplomacy for me is the go-to auxiliary tree. It really synergises with any other build, especialy while playing wide, and is super helpful in the late game, when you don't really need martial or stewardship, and your biggest issue is keeping your mess of an empire together. True ruler can also be really fun. Once afte I took it I vassalized whole norther Italy, with no prior involvment in it.

  • @DukeDanseMacambre

    I find diplomacy the strongest, especially when empire building with friends, zero stress, just absorbing other smaller people and getting a stat buff in everything while everyone the world over loves you and wants to be your friend, sometimes as your busy still dragging off their son hostage. Truely diplomats are the most godly of rulers, just make sure to get a stewardship spouse. :p

Down side is these games are the ones where 10 years is also 10 plus hours of game play due to the size and the size/number of wars. I’m currently in 4 holy kingdom wars, should win them all in the next 16 months, trying to keep the offensive war plenty under under 150 and keep everyone at plus 100 opinion is the only back of my head worry I have.

    I play a hybrid of Intrigue and Diplomacy. I use diplomacy to get claims through marriage and intrigue to solidify the claim. I once took over Khazaria by seducing their leader then once I got pregnant I let the world know he was his son. After that it was easy work to ensure he had no heirs outside of my children. And so my family became the ruling family of Khazaria. Only bad side effect is a lot of dissolution wars which was easy to resolve because I would join the wars and clean up for my son. He really needs to get out on his own you know.

    One thing I've learned the hard way: if your heir takes the throne at an advanced age it's best to just pick and stick with the lifestyle they're suited to. Getting enough diplomacy perks activated and befriend schemes done in time to actually use them effectively takes freakin ages so is best used when your heir takes the throne at an early age.

    Personally my default playstyle relies on diplomacy a lot since I don't like declaring wars (makes me feel like a jerk unless whoever I declared it on has picked a fight with me in the past) it's also great for managing empires with a ton of vassals, as I quickly learned that time I decided to conquer Kazaria as Dyri the Stranger (no I did not bother conquering any other land first, I just slowly expanded my army with powerful men at arms while boosting my realms development, then attacked right after they finished fending off someone else and hadn't recovered yet...) They really did not like that some random Norse dude was suddenly their boss, but I slowly befriended them while constantly putting down rebellions until finally they all gave up...

    How can Diplomacy be the worst lifestyle category? Have people not tried the Patriarch lifestyle? Confidants eventually reduces your stress gain to zero. I especially love this with choosing my ward's personality traits and developing my capital with the diligent personality decision. Also, Friendly Council is completely broken. It says it caps at 5 but it doesn't. There is no limit to the stat gains you can get from having many, many friends. Having all 5 of your stats over 30 is not difficult at all. The only downside is constantly having your personal scheme tied up with making friends. That might make it difficult to sway the Pope or spread your witch coven but I find it to be more than worth it.
    I guess one of the 5 attributes has to be the worst one but they are pretty damn well designed and each one does something the others can't.

    Maybe it's just me who likes to play optimal and, if possible, I grant all the conquered land; that'd form a douchy; to one guy and if he then gives some of it away, can't do anything about it, but if he has any good stewardship then he can handle 4-6 counties at once so all the taxes go to him so he pays me bigger %

    I wish the standard diplomacy stat was a bit more useful. It would be great if having a lot of diplomacy increased my vassalization chance, but it doesn't. It just increases my opinion. I wish it would reduce the chance that my own vassal would join factions, but it doesn't. It just increases my opinion. I wish it would reduce my truce times, but it doesn't. It just increases my opinion.
    I can get opinion in a million different ways, I don't need an entire different stat for that.

    I didn't vote, because it's so situational, which works and which doesn't work. Diplomacy is insanely good in many situations.

      @@timothynoak5967 Totally agreed. If you reverse the vote about the worst education, then the best should be Stewardship. Well... I wouldn't disagree with that. It can be insanely powerful to play economically tall with it.

    The fact that martial on that poll only got 4%, tells you a lot about how bad the mainstream player of CK3 is.

    I Actually don't know any other way than diplomacy to manage a larger realm or late game realm. Intrigue sucks much more than Diplomacy I think

      Strict roleplaying; no decisions outside of their aligned personalities, no marriages a continent away, no disinheriting unless given reason(infidelity) (personality of ruler). For an extra challenge limit domains even if you can hold more don't allow yourself to hold them directly.

    The main good thing about diplo is ofc the offer vassalization stuff. The problem with offer vassalization is that your realm becomes fucked. Huge vassals everywhere and because you vassalised them instead of conquering them they probably have non dejure counties or are missing dejure counties. That means that they get easy casus bellis on neighbors which means that small vassals get smaller and strong get stronger. I think its kinda obvious why thats a bad thing. Sure you can use befriend and all and avoid any faction. But the moment your character dies and the next dude comes in the factions will rip you apart. All the vassals have -20 from short reign plus at least one strong vassal has -40 from not being on the council. With economy focus your power comes from buildings and baronies. With diplo it comes from perks. But baronies stay upgraded even if your character dies.

    56%votes ? Damn i normally don't even play Diplo because is so strong that the game becomes too easy so early in the playthrough, is probably the best Life Sylte Tree just aside Intrigue.
    The worst education by far is Martial but still pretty usefull and fun to play tho.

  • @zephaniahgreenwell8151

    The problem is that diplomacy is boring to play. I think most players know that the perks are strong.
