CKII is released.

Tibet, but Tencent? Will they be happy?

 

If they add 50 Cent...then I'll be pissed.

 

China confirmed.

 

According to the CPC, NOW!

 

Well, unless they radically alter the war mechanics the Japs probably have warfare in the bag, given that the recent KOEI strategy games have a very strong foundation from the emphasis on road networks, distance, and bottlenecks even before into the tactical view, which allows for strategic pincers and flanking.

On the other hand, CK2's moddability and its feudal management/"RPG" aspect is a very strong trump card for it.

 

I almost feel like Paradox is trying to troll us since fans are so divided on whether it should be added. Now they can't even agree if China is in the game or not.

 

I can already feel the engine trying to commit suicide.

 

They're adding lag.

 

It is going to be horrible.

 

Asia should be a different game like

I haven't even played an Indian game or the steppes and I own all the DLC.

 

Horselords was decent enough I guess. I don't play nomads but it was nice to see them represented.

India was completely worthless and hurt the game's performance. China will be the same but worst. I hope they at least add some good bits to the game core mechanics because otherwise the new dlc will be just another excuse to use map cutting mods.

 

Their DLC are adding less and less features but they are getting more expensives, its like 27 euros for last EU4 DLC mandate of heaven.Of course it will be a china dlc for ck2 too, to please one of their major shareholder. It will be rushed unfinished and untested.

 

Maybe not different games, but different scenarios. So I do not have to rape my CPU with 3/4 map I'm not interested in.

 

I already said why adding China is bullshit a few pages ago:

 

Thy can make Sibera etc provinces huge. Or even greyed out. Tiben, for example, is a frozen mountain wastes with barely any population.

 

Yea probably the best way to handle Siberia past what's presently in the game, given the timeframe, would be either have it be Wasteland in its entirety or have some corridors snake along its edge with Mongolia and Dzungaria.

 

Any recomended mods? I'm getting a new machine next week and I want to test its TRUE POWAH

 

I've never heard of anyone reporting his experiences of an Indian playthrough. Personally, I only have the DLC because it was in a bundle. Maybe I'm missing out. Maybe the Indian rulers have the coolest mechanics ever and the most interesting history in the world, but I've never tried it. If people don't care, they're not going to play it. A spin-off game would have been better. Why should Crusader Kings be anything more than what it says on the tin? A comparison of the CK1 and CK2 maps is enough to show how absurd things have become, and also all the things they would have to include in addition to China:



VS:



Surely there has to be a happy medium between the ridiculous tiny Persia in CK1 vs the over-expansion of CK2.

 

I wonder how long it'll be before they expand the map to the americas so people can play ridiculous completionist campaigns

 

The funny part about that is Vinland was actually a thing and allowing trans-atlantic empires in the 11th century onward would still be more realistic than English kings ruling over India in the same time period.

Personally I find the current gamespeed to be fine and Tibet won't be that many provinces.

 

Yes. If India was a campaign with its own map, I'd probably have given it a try, some mechanics sound interesting, but in a CK game, I don't care about India.

 

Same. Even Persia is stretching it.

CK1 did nothing wrong.

 

Back when I still played this I used to run my custom map mod with India and parts of Africa greyed out. The game ran much better(very fast even centuries in) and I never missed those irrelevant corners of the map.

They could do a lot better than adding China but I guess when you look at the people running the development these days it is no wonder the stupidity is so strong:




Groogy in particular(not included in the picture) is a subhuman degenerate and probably a cuckold fetishist as well.

 

More countries/cultures that do not mesh with the feudal mechanics at all . There obviously aren't enough of these yet (the whole Muslim part of of the map, the Byzantines, all of India, the steppe nomads, most of eastern Europe). Not to mention what this will do to the performance.

Luckily EUIV is in a decent place right now and MEIOU and Taxes 2.0 is coming out.

 

An exclusively East Asian/China game in the vain of RoTK would be very very cool but duct-tapping on China to the already bloated Crusader Kings series won't have the slightest chance to do the setting justice.
