Give us the real CK3 stats!
If you’re ever in dire need of a laugh, just hit up the Crusader Kings subreddit and read people’s honest discussion of the game. User mak112112, for instance, recently „discovered castration“, and said that they’re having the time of their life „lopping off people’s fun bits.“ One of the sub’s most famous posts from a few years back was titled „If you have a sick child, use them as bioterrorism weapons.“
These anecdotes are the lifeblood of Crusader Kings. In the same way that The Sims is a comedy engine because of how badly you can screw up a facsimile of contemporary life, CK3’s approximation of kingdom management in the Middle Ages is just detailed enough to make its awry moments both frequent and hilarious.
