I have to rant.
I bought CK3 last May and haven't played it since trying it out, playing as Bohemia at first. I thought it was kind of boring, not much happened and felt the game needed a year to mature a bit. It's almost a year later, after reading the thread, I figured it was time to try it out again. I first play as Robert Guiscard and managed to steam roll through Sicily before 1070. In real life it took Guiscard and his brother up until 1090. Felt that game was going no where, I decided to start the William the Conquer campaign. That's where I got annoyed. Harold Godwinson was able to make alliances with Barcelona, Aragon, and Naverre to defend his crown. I'm not against England making alliances in this scenario, I'm against far-fetched alliances that make zero sense for the Iberian powers to make. All three domains have land bordering emirates, why would they agree to alliance to such a far nation? Why would they take their armies to England leaving their lands wide open for attack? Even Attila Total War had a negative attribute for trying to ally with powers too far away. It was just silly and wrecked it for me.
This game needs another year...
