I got it as King of Francia, I think it might be a bit over powered for large kingdoms just because of the cost of MAA. The whole thing is weird, but mine doesn't mention buildings or MAA increase.

Should I even get it since I am empire level now? I got it as king though.
Here is what mine says:
Conqueror:
+5 Monthly tax
−75% Men-at-arms maintenance
−75% Title creation cost
+25 Days enemy hostile scheme phase length
-3% Enemy hostile scheme growth
-40% Enemy hostile scheme potential
+5 Monthly legitimacy
Unlocks the Forced Vassalization casus belli
Removes Prestige Costs from Casus Bellis
Removes Piety Costs from Casus Bellis
Armies will flock to their banners (assuming mine?)
Claimants will crowd their courts (again mine I assume)
Vassals will fall in line

The world lies before me, ripe for the taking, it will be mine.

Everyone on my games is getting this.

[CreutzFeldJak0b]

the boni are dependent on your game rules.

Like Usual guys, The newer Trait stuff is TURNED UP so you get it in your first game and later they will patch it into ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ RNG 1% chance to get it.

REMEMBER WHEN HUNTING CAME OUT IN TOURS AND TOURNYS?
REMEMBER ALL THOSE EPIC HUNTS!
REMEMBER NOW HOW HUNTING IS ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ GARBAGE?

THERE YOU GO

The trait can be removed under one of those condition :

days_of_continuous_peace >= 3650 # 10 years

prestige_level <= -1

debt_level >= 3

exists = var:lost_wars
var:lost_wars >= 3

is_independent_ruler = no

has_trait = incapable

highest_held_title_tier <= tier_county

yeah if you plan on playing turn this down.
it is common as mud, it also means their direct heir can get it.
not fan of it i didn't go through my settings before hand, seen it a few times on NPC factions and they become stupidly OP.

I hate that the fact that it i random it should be a rare trait that you get for a chance by x y z . i.e conquering a king title while being out numbered or something to that effect.

Looks hilariuous even compared to the superboosted AI bonuses in Stellaris on Grand Admiral.

Too much artificial "magic" stuff going on, like the free automatic buildings or claimants.

Yeah way over powered. Funny thing is all I did was war with Brittany to vassalize them and kicked Hastean(sp) out of the French county and France, and I was a Conqueror. Might as well come with some wizards and fireballs!

[Myth Alric]

That does sound extremely broken.

[Shaolin]

I have not seen the the "every 3-6 months" part work for me. Is this part only for the AI or are you supposed to fulfill additional requirements?

I really dislike magic spawning of crap in games, that includes endgame crisis, hordes from the corner of the map, magic money, magic buildings, etc...

But honestly, given the state CK3 is in, broken for years without any challenge, I'd take magic solutions over no solutions.

The conqueror trait essentially makes the AI act more like a player... endless wars.

I think it evens the playing field although I wish Paradox would go the other route and make wars harder to start. There should be domestic politics involved and a cool down period where your people are sick of war and beginning to revolt if you just keep the realm in a constant state of war.

[Bomberpilot]

I acutally don't like that trait since i don't want AI to do sensless blobbing and instead keep historical borders. I actually hate sensless blobbing in any Paradox game as it's unhistorical.

Wouldn't mind watching a video of someone with a modded out Ck3 where EVERYONE has the Conqueror Trait.
