This one is good I think

Have you tested it extensively? Because this sounds like a load of rubbish. Firstly, the AI can also use mercs, but worse, their levies regenerate just like yours, except they have 2x, 3x the land so they will wear you down. Wars are battles of attrition, it can take a year, even close to 2 years to capture a whole province later on, during that time the levies regenerate completely and crush your puny 1 shot mercs.

So far with the release: Mongol bug is still in, Crown authority bug is still in, race linked to culture bug is still in...
Paradox, Paradox never changes.

Oh no, you've criticized Paradox. It's just a matter of time until Trash the Brown-tongued knight valiantly rides to their rescue

Quite extensively in a long period of time but in one game in 1.00

Mercenary armies are better in quality than most levies (high numbers of heavy infantry and knights) and have WAY better generals. Just look at them, 2x is very common going as high as 26-27. They replenish their forces but slower than levies. So in short better quality. What about quantity? Early game its obviously better - King of Norway launches his attack on England with 7k while one merc band has 3500 troops... Later on their numbers stop being so impressive BUT since attrition is quite dangerous they can easily take on normal not overstacked armies.

As I wrote I managed, without raising levies, to stop Byzantine invasion of Poland with only 3 merc armies. I was winning but ultimately they drowned me in bodies and I couldnt afford more mercs. But I did that with 3 warbands if I hired them all I would humiliate Byzantium...

AI can use mercs but doesnt do it often as it doesnt have gold (lower titles) or already has levies (higher titles).

Says the guy who threw a temper tantrum calling me asshole and accusing me of editing the game files to break it and never apologized when it turned out other people were getting the bug too. You started this bullshit when I was just pointing out how bugged the game is. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Trash gains the trait 'paranoid'.

There you start calling me a troll, moron and ass for pointing out the game is buggy (which is true)

I didn't edit it to remove a smug face, the smug face is in the post above. I did the edit to add the last 2 lines.

I think you owe me an apology but I don't think you're man enough to do it.

Lol, while sieging I just had 35 enemy troops spawn in the province, who then instantly defeated my 500 man strong siege army.
How the fuck could they have missed all these bugs?

the biggest bug in the game is that the 100 years war doesn't exist because england doesn't have claims on the throne of france.

The easiest way to make money is to install an anti-pope. It allows churches to pay money into your coffers. I've yet to see what's negative about an anti-pope.

So, the game is all in real time, and it's all played on the campaign screen? Yeah I can see how that's different. So how long does a general game last? And what's the final goal? Paint the map your color ala Total War?

And is the first game pretty much the same?

It's more a mixed system than real time. Every "day" is really a very small turn, but it's a turn never-the-less.

Your goal is what you make it to be. In CKII it's generally dominating the known world with a chosen dynasty - rather than map painting.

It looked like everything was in real time. Did he press any "end day" buttons?

No. But you can change the speed by which turns auto-complete, including a pause function.

that has happened to me too, but with a force of 300 instadefeating a force of 1000.

it's RTwP

Way ahead of you guys, I got my CK2 from this guy:

So Paradox are the Biowares of Strategy games.

For strategy games it can be a benefit. Some provinces for example are fast to traverse, while others slow. Some tanks move fast, or planes move 10x as fast, or an infantry is bogged down in a swamp. A Turn based game wouldn't have been able to capture things the same, and thus this type of Grand Strategy might never have seen the day. RtwP works well when a lot of the systems simulated are human systems, armies etc Also, there's multi-threading so no loading ever.

Hey, anyone else know what the DLCs actually do? I checked my in-game DLC store (yep) and I have them, but the Mongol faces are the same as the muslims and the coat of arms of the famous dynasties are as detailed as the other dynasties. These two DLCs in particular really feel like not only being day-0 DLCs stripped out for money but actually a scheme to get people pre-ordering the game thinking they'll get something special.

So my char got assasinated, and I don't get a casus belli against the fucker that did it? WHY?!!?!?!?!?

It's à la you buffoon.
