If you want your empire to outlive you, you have to start building institutions of legitimacy from scratch or invade somewhere that already has them. And building them from scratch is very difficult if you stay on the steppe.
I think I would just design around the idea that if your ruler was That Guy and their heir is not That Guy the chances they will command the same respect is extremely low. Like maybe you can buy yourself some time, but focus on how individualistic and non-systematic the legitimacy of those khans was
The chances of any steppe megastate not collapsing after one generation if they're not the player and not the Great Khan should be like 10%. And two generations should be like 1%.
The most promising part of this dev diary might be that having a lower Control baseline and fewer global modifiers might help to keep player empires from becoming runaway powerful too quicky. I say might, but they have the right idea it seems like.

Ah, that might have been what I was remembering! I do know tʃ is one of the very common ways of distinguishing the Anglic languages from other Germanic languages.
It can also help clean up the absolute mess in China right now with the hodgepodge of different Buddhist and "Taoist" sects.
If this is mainly a Christianity expansion I'd like to see some for other world religions.
To answer the question at the end: it is pronounced like "Kal-sedonian" because it's Greek. The Anglo-Frisian "ch" as in "church" is actually one of the rarest sounds in all of human language.
Sorry, that's a district-based building system with resource potentials you can develop and ties into the new trade stuff.
This is going to go a long way to making feudal feel fun again, because admin/celestial estates made it feel like it was a lot more deep and interesting to own a plot of land in Constantinople than it was to be like, the Duke of Orleans.
There's always something that's like, "This wasn't in any of the marketing handouts because it's a free patch feature but it is absolutely hog wild" and they just drop in around 11:00 that all existing counties are being converted to a district-based building system.

Yeah, it's a lot to do in one year!
My assumption had been it would be one for Ch 5 and the other would have to wait for Ch 6, with the other stuff in those respective packs being supportive of the theme. But no, they're just going for it.
Huh, so CK3 is doing theocracies AND republics. I guess sometimes you get two cakes.
I'm on like a month of scroll-free living. I had one or two "cheat days." My productivity, ability to focus, and overall mood has improved considerably. Would recommend.
If you missed my crashout yesterday, out hosting service (who is also our dev) defrauded us by having invoices auto paid for work never rendered.
We pushed back & they terminated us. Now, we are moving! But it will take time and money to do so. We got a plan! But anything helps make it easier.
If you are able to help support our site migration that would be amazing! I am very bad at asking for help but right now, @butwhytho.net needs it.
We have to get set up on a new host, work with a dev, and our old host still has not refunded us the $3k they took.
Anything helps!
LMAO But Why Tho? Dying because of a shitty developer is not what I had on my bingo card.
We have 48 hours to figure out what to do for a new host and find a developer to help us.
getting old is just enshittification for your mortal vessel *clicks the post button*
Trade offer:
I will learn what federation is if it means me and all of my friends can go hang out in a bluesky instance that doesn't use your dogshit AI code.
I honestly think Chapelle could say, "I fucked up and I'm sorry I said all that stuff that contributed to harm" instead of blaming the right for "weaponizing" it, and for better or worse, his image would end up being almost fully rehabilitated. But I guess you lose the ability to do that with ego.
"But I earned that rocket ship money!"
1. No you didn't.
2. Even if I fully accepted the premise that you did,
No one wants to take your Rolex money or your annual vacation to the White Lotus money. I'm talking about the superyacht money. The rocket ship money. You're still gonna be drippy. I think you will thrive being just very rich and not disgustingly rich.
I want to sit rich people down and be like socialism would not force you to live in a cardboard box, like you can still have a nice house and a range rover probably just not your own airplane, calm down, it will be fine.
No, I'm in the US. It's just like RAM. AI datacenters are driving the prices up.
I do have a second SSD I could switch my Windows install over to, but I have never done that, so I'll need to wait for a day when I have enough executive function to look up how to do that.
So the good news is my RAM is fine. The bad news is the weird issues I've been having are with my SSD, and a 1TB Samsung SSD is currently going for like $700
And not only that but the girls at the orphanage weren't even connected to Rose at all? That just seems like... I don't believe you. I don't believe that there was no throughline there. I smell rewrites.
The other funny thing is I was 12 hours in before I realized Grace was not Ethan's daughter. (I never played the RE: Village DLC so I didn't realize they had wrapped up that story and kicked it into a big pit when the end of Village made it seem like this was going to be the next 3+ games)
