Well to be fair they used them as everything militarily but cavalry

Looks like ass, the old art style was much better. Also smells like popamolization of the trait system.

The art style is growing on me. Only three personality traits seems to be a bit meagre, I hope they can compensate for that by making them more impactful. But I always liked characters with the seven virtues.

I cant agree on the look. In the previous CK you often ended up with very samish-looking people, this one seems able to make for a bigger variety and more detailed faces.

Meh, they were largely fine. I'll take stylized drawings over 3D variety any day. And I was mainly referring to the trait icons looking like ass.

Fewer but more decisive traits is an improvement. I'd often stack traits for their bonuses with little care (unless I was really LARPing) while others were absurdly useful (-2 to diplomacy for 50% extra gold with Greedy is a no-brainer to take yet the game considers it a disadvantage!).

The faces aren't too off considering this is the Medieval era..

In general we have smaller jaws and less prominent faces since the Industrial Revolution due to much softer food

I can't overlook the cuckery, this game is degenerate filth. Their sales practice is disgusting enough, but this only a fan could swallow.

Is Deus Vult in or not?
It doesn't have real religions in it,yet alone deus lo vult.
You're joking.
Nah,it is some mishmash of make your own religion and shit.
How the fuck do they imagine it's going to work if the game starts in middle ages, years after most of religions were already historically established?


Kinda like pagan reformation, but deeper, with more moving parts.

Which is very cool, because it will allow us to Create-Your-Own Heresy

Fuck off,i want to raze all the middle east and Rome with glorious Orthodox Bulgar horde,not play around with some generic religion that i have to spend time making it fun. I want a religious carnage and great focus on that shit,the game is called Crusader kings for fuck sake,not Inventors Kukz!

Just like you did in real life, right The Brazilian Slaughter ?

The most Codexian game mechanic.

...No, the Catholic Church is ultimately correct but deeply flawed in its leadership. Everyone should listen to ME and do things MY way!”
