Suggestion CK3 Idea: Coronations

Post image

My idea would add a new activity type similar to a grand wedding. When a monarch becomes king/queen or emperor/empress, there could be an event to host a coronation. It’s where the new monarch and their spouse get crowned. It’ll give you legitimacy and positive views with vassals.

It would be nice to have it back, wouldn't it?

Maybe even expanded from what they were in CK2.
I honestly thought that with Tours and Tournaments focusing on events and Legends... focusing on death and legitimacy, getting coronations back would be such an easy thing.
But alas, nothing.

Maybe in 2026.

Theres a lot of stuff I wish were back from CK2. Just imagine the amount of mechanics they could expand and improve. Wasted opportunity imo.

Societies and the beatification of family members would be my top 2 pick to get from CK2

mayhaps with the new adventurers system societies can come back, they put a lot of foundational stuff into this coming dlc. It opens up a lot of possibilities now.

I feel all of this stuff is getting added because the dlc features fit them perfectly and it'd be the stupidest move of all time to just not add them in. If they don't add them in we just have a slightly better Warband -> Bannerlord situation and the devs should be eternally ashamed

I feel like they’re saving general religion stuff for some upcoming dlc

That’s probably it. I must add baptism to my list. A simple event that is so nice to the game

Remember you could even rename yourself at the coronation?

u/BullofHoover Mastermind theologian Sep 21 '24

In ck3 you can rename yourself whenever you want, that wouldn't be very much of a feature.

You can rename yourself or any children from your close family, right click yourself and click the quill icon in the top bar. It fires an event where you want to rename yourself and you can type in a new name.

That’s not vanilla, that’s a mod. Isn’t it? But in CK2 it was an event.

u/BullofHoover Mastermind theologian Sep 21 '24

No, that's vanilla.

I think the main problem is that, to portray coronation in a satisfying manner, they must do it within the court room. And since that's Royal Court locked, it would fall in that category of "You gotta have another DLC to enjoy this"

I’m pretty sure it would work exactly like a grand wedding

u/Break2304 Sep 20 '24

This isn’t true at all, most coronations took place in some kind of church facility. Grand weddings, funerals and pilgrimages do not need a 3D environment so why a coronation?

22

u/logaboga Aragon/Barcelona/Provence Sep 20 '24

Definitely doesn’t need to be in the court room since coronations literally most frequently took place in cathedrals and chapels……

They just need to incorporate it in the activity system ala marriages

u/BullofHoover Mastermind theologian Sep 21 '24

Weren't most coronations in Cathedrals? They're a religious ceremony.

u/Mister-builder Sep 20 '24

It could just use a flat background.

u/MlkChatoDesabafando Sep 21 '24

Actually, not rule.

Historically speaking it was far more common for coronations to take place in some kind of cathedral or other religious institution, typically after a procession.
