CKII is released.

lel

Anyway, the pathfinding bug I'm referring to is the one which when it happened would always cause a crash on that save at a given date, because the AI tries to calculate path to "province zero" which eventually crashes the game. Only happens with mods that use a custom map. That's a bug in the game itself tho, but Pdox had promised a fix for it with Reaper's Due which didn't make it to RD release version.

 

Changelog:

Changelog:

Hmm... no new content/fixes for chaos cultists? Eh.

 

So i jsut turned from slavic to catholic but my vassals are still slavic and all hell has broken loose because they don't want to fight with me in a war, how do i get them to be catholic also ?

 

You ask them to convert, but they'll do so only if they like your rule despite being heathen. Try converting when you are an old and exalted ruler. That way you'll only need to bribe a handful of vassals. They'll then convert their own courts and underlings, eventually.

 

You can also:

- Just kill them. If lots of your realm is catholic chances are you'll have incredibly quick assassinations from all your fellow catholics joining in. Don't kill your own family obviously.
- Force anyone in your prison to convert. Any way of getting them imprisoned is fine, from intrigue kidnapping to catching them plot against you (turn off auto ending of plots, but watch to make sure they don't try to kill you).
- Just plot to revoke titles and then hand them back out to Catholics.

 

On a random note, Gnacht team got permission from the Call of Warhammer team to freely use their graphics assets, which means Gnacht will soon have Warhammer unit graphics.

 

Hail Satan.

 

Hail Satan.

 

Hope this isn't Sunset Invasion 2.0 in terms of being complete fantasy. Probably just the trailer playing things up.

 

What do you have against our lord and master Satan, and his infernal crusades for Rome?

 

Satan already has demon children and event stacks. Stop being greedy.

 

More Satan is never enough.

 

Secret societies? I can't wait to get inducted into a mystic order and divine ancient lore from texts long forgotten.

Now let's all get drunk and play jeu de paume!

 

Sounds like another shitty "events and gimmicks" pack, to be honest. I would be interested in having them actually fixing and improving core gameplay. Crusades haven't been touched in ages, for instance, and they never worked properly.

 

They figured that what their customers what is the game to feel more like an rpg, with a constant fucking stream of events spawning every turn.

Instead of fixing the ridiculous combat and the retarded AI, they just force their writers to keep spewing this infantile shit, while their artists make a few new paintings and sprites.

Paradox are as bad as Activision, EA or ubisoft.

 

It wouldn't be so terrible if the swedes could actually write for shit, but they can't. The event chains are incredibly silly, usually have 2 to 3 possible outcomes and get old real fast(you will be tired of them by the second time they show up usually).

 

Yeah, the events are mostly bad and silly. In an average CK2 game who get more hindustani eunuchs in your court than the average caliph.

 

they are worse, no ea or activision game got 100 dlc

 

Took them long enough

 

Thought it was a joke when I saw your post. Had to check in their forums and everything.

This is certainly good stuff though. Items and modifiers are already in the game, now you will be able to see them, inherit them, steal them, etc. I doubt the swedes will do much historical and fun stuff with it, but modders will.

If they actually go the mile and add stuff like Joyeuse, Curtana, Lobera and the more famous religious relics I will be happy.

 

Dang. https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/foru...k2-dev-diary-33-lets-talk-about-sects.986617/ and https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/foru...bout-artifacts-real-talk-about-relics.988111/

It's like a DLC designed as mod bait. Cunning business decision from Paradox if players have to purchase a DLC to continue playing newer versions of mods.

Maybe by 2018 the engine will be advanced enough that Cleve can port Grimoire to CK2.

 

The items are going to be part of the free patch, so that shouldn't lock people out.

Still, the sects look like it could fit in with plenty of mods, so yeah.

 

I just gained immortality after about an hour of playing with Alexios Komnenos. I get the event chain in most games that I play, but it usually fails for some reason or another, so it's nice to finally get it. When The Reaper's Due came out, some people mentioned that there are very few real changes for immortal characters, and that nobody notices anything about your character celebrating his 140th birthday or whatever. But in one of the later patches, the notes mention "Immortality suspicion" events and some other stuff. So if anyone else has attained immortality: does it change the experience at all, apart from the obvious? Or can I basically just stomp everyone into the ground with my overpowered immortal Alexios forever?

 

Honestly, just disable supernatural events. They are shit and only provide a few minutes of novelty. Btw, las dev diary is up:

https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/ck2-dd-35-who-ordered-these-monks.989846/

So we will have new western portraits, monastic orders, societies and treasuries. I like it. I still think they should be focusing on the core mechanics but these new features will add to the game, specially modding wise.
