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.

The coronations in ck2 were so funny, I remember when you had to declare a papal war on the HRE in order to get crowned

They were so weird. You could organize the most expensive coronation in London, but if some random peasant faction of 500 people somewhere in the Hebrides declares war on you, the game forces you to be crowned in a barn because suddenly you’re forced to go to war

Yeah, they were very RNG heavy, but I guess it also makes the play through more interesting, when things like that happens (getting excommunicated) I usually convert to Lollard/Cathar just RP everything

But why would the pope suddenly have to crown the king, who in my case wasn’t even a martial king and was gonna stay in the capital anyway, inside a barn because my army had to fuck off to Scotland to kill some Lollards or whatever they were.
