CKII is released.

I wonder if there will be actual downsides to fugging everyones wives now.

Why do you hate fun?

I dislike it when lord fuckwitface fucks my wife, then both my daughters and I can't do anything about it.

Welcome to life on earth, bro. Betas gonna beta

What a lame slider, a lot of societies even within the same civilization had different traditions of treating women.
"Tradition" lol what does this even mean?

Don't you have your copy of the Men's guide to the traditional subjugationtreatment of women, circa 769-1453, distributed from Ireland to China?

 

[IDtenT]

Don't worry Overweight Manatee, I'm sure Stellaris will include a subjugation of men slider.

Oo that education focus looks good.

Needs the Sit on Daddy's Lap focus. Deus Vult.

Conclave trailer is definately good for reaction image mining.

 

[Trash]

Finally a DLC that actually focuses on adding to the core gameplay. Shame that core gameplay is already shoved under a landslide of poor map and era expansions.

What, don't you like Karling rape train or slightly earlier Karling rape train?

 

[Zero Credibility]

Interesting. Well, at least it's not fucking China or something. I do hope they also take some things from HIP or CK2+ into vanilla (like improved factions, better combat system or battlefield duels). Oh, and do something about the god damn seduction. At the very least a vassal banging a queen or a princess (and getting caught) should be a valid reason for imprisonment. I have no idea why it isn't so.

 

[Zero Credibility]

Can't say about the slowdown because I'm yet to play beyond a couple of centuries before restarting (though I doubt it), but for rampant cuckoldry - nope. They just halved the chance of AI taking the seduction focus and called it a day. Of course, the bigger the realm, the more vassals there are, the more seducers there are around. Reducing the chance isn't going to fix anything on it's own because even a couple of them (and in a large realm there will always be at least a couple around) are fully capable of going on realm-wide rampage. System itself needs to be fixed.

 

[Anthedon]

Did they already fix the fact the game eventually becomes unplayable due to slowdown? And the rampant cuckoldry?

I did a Mongol WC shortly after Horse Lords was released (about 200 years ingame), performance was still atrocious on a fairly beefy rig. Don't think they'll ever be able to fix that, there's simply too much shit going on after all the DLC/patches.

At this point I think they would do better simply releasing CKIII with all the features of the current DLCs + a reworked code.
CKII seems like a mess.

 

[Alienman]

I will make Sweden a feminist country with an all female council by the year 900. I will be remembered as the most progressive ever!

Vikings = Toxic masculinity

 

[Makabb]

So when will this game be 'finished'?

 

[Moink]

So when will this game be 'finished'?

When it stops making them money

 

[Multiple Sarcasm]

So when will this game be 'finished'?

Never. But they'll likely stop the DLC train for it when CK3 is released.

 

[Average Manatee]

At the very least, the devs have stated that they wanted to add China. So either when CK2 becomes better optimized or computing power catches up to make it possible.

I kind of doubt that CK3 will happen at this point. There's too much built-up stuff that either CK3 will sell nothing at all for missing all the DLC features CK2 ended up with, or it will have them and Paradox won't have a way to sell more DLC. It's like WoW, no one asks when WoW2 is coming out.

But that's haram! How can you be progressive by shutting out the religion of peace?

 

[The Brazilian Slaughter]

No way they're adding China, India got criticized enough and I like the post-India map because it has more of Central Asia. Not to mention China will need a lot of different mechanics not to blob - some people still wake at night sweating, memories of the times Ming China, France, Russia and the Ottoman Empire were practically the only countries in the world still fresh.

Also, nobody without super-computers is going to play the CKII China DLC.

I think there might not even be a CKII, the devs already said they hate the name - I assume swedes gonna swede - and they might want to shift the focus from Europe anyway.

Personally I always like more features and complexity in my strategy games, but unless they do some optimization magic, China is not going to get added in CKII. They did some optimisation with India but the Way of Life DLC was a punch to the balls, from what I heard.

Pdox seems to be using CKII as a cash cow, mindless of how things fit together, while they ignore Victoria - that patch they released was practically a official fan patch from what I heard - and just develop more DLC and iterations for Stellaris, EU and HOI. Oh yeah, while trolling EU: Rome fans, because it has become a running gag at this point

hmmm true. It will work out somehow, just like real life!

 

[Average Manatee]

After playing the Warhammer mod I can't complain even the slightest about CK2's performance. That thing chugs like a motherfucker, and I have an i7.

 

[IDtenT]

I wonder if releasing a 64-bit executable would help.

 

[The Brazilian Slaughter]

Is CKII even at least able to use multi-cores and above +4GB RAM efficiently? Its sort of an old game.

 

[Turrul]

As far as I know, it uses only 1 core in gameplay.
