Meinmmo author Schuhmann spent more than 1,400 hours on Steam with Crusader Kings 3 on Steam, but in the eyes of others the game is obviously only about incest. That is far too little for him.
What is the problem? Every time I talk about my majestic adventures in Crusader Kings 3 in the editorial team, people grin dirty. Even supposedly nice and understanding people roar, I should write about my incest simulator again.
When I recently told about the loving Zofia, which I immediately marry in every game of Crusader Kings 3 because she is so clever and has good genetic properties, I am asked which relationship I stand with her! Outrageous, I know.
When I recently shared a screenshot that showed my king and his family naked because my character spontaneously decided to ban everyone at the farm at the farm, the first question was: whether this childfrau was in the picture because of my daughter. An insolence.

Incest in Crusader Kings 3 is only possible under certain conditions
Is incest in Crusader Kings 3 possible at all? No, actually not. At least not the same. Because the normal religions actually prohibit marriage between close relatives. You have to take some effort to make incest the foundation of a state.
It is important to conquer holy sites, to study theology, to make the most distant corners of the world, to become a holy man and to found their own religion and then, only then, that suddenly all members of their own dynasty suddenly start to marry each other (via Gamestar).
Own community has reduced the reputation of the game to Incest
Why is Crusader Kings 3 reduced to Incest? This is the fault of the community itself and also paradoxical by the developers. Because they have raised “incest”, which actually does not play such a big role in the game, to an insider wit by adapting the “description” of characters.
Usually the relationship of the figure and player will describe, ie “Höfling”, “son”, “rival”, “wife”. But if several things apply to one person, it is also there. And so people on Reddit made a lot of fun to post pictures of their “wife daughter-sister cousin”.
Here, for example, a player proudly introduces his “daughter-wife and niece” (in one person), right next to the “son, nephew and son-in-law. (Via Reddit)”
Here we see the “sister-wife, which is also the player’s cousin and his sister-in-law.”
Does incest also have disadvantages? Yes, in fact, when the incest goes so far that a child’s parents only very few different ancestors, the chance of inbreeding and a negative genetic result increases very high. Children are born with great Mali. “Incogenous children” rarely reach adulthood and are almost sterile.
Paradox advocates the incest? However, paradoxical went one step further here. One of the hardest achieves on Steam is a “perfect circle” that you can get for the “ultimate incest”: a character must have so few different people in the family tree that it goes towards a circle.
You can see that only 1.1 % of the players of this Achievement have that the game should not be reduced to Incest as many.
Admittedly, from “gameplay aspects” there is a real inbreeding program that extends over the entire dynasty. Because if you play Crusader Kings 3 with ambition and optimal results, you will start to “breed” your dynasty and he will try to find beneficial spouses in order to genetically create better offspring.
Because if you marry a strong woman as a strong man, you are guaranteed to receive a super strong child and if this child gets a super strong woman, whose descendants will receive the 3. degree of the genetic property “strong” and are considered a Hercules or an amazon.
Here, too, paradoxical thought of everything:
Nevertheless, I still find it unfair to reduce crusader Kings 3 to the incest. At its core, it is simply a game that nobody understands and that people watch for hours how maps change their color: Finally, remember: Swedish strategy geniuses are proud that hardly who understands their games and nobody ever ends them
