CKII is released.

[Kukulkan]

Try recreating the glorious Roman Empire and wiping out the Catholic heresy.

 

[Destroid]

Just learn how feudal system and the different successions work so you don't have to waste a day trying to inherit :D

started a new game as duke of cyprus
bro i just become a...ba.basileus.



Not sure how to play on. This is like being a mcdonald store manager promoted to the global operation CEO.

I know how you feel, I haven't touched my game since I became HRE.

 

[Turisas]

Have they set a release date for the Old Gods DLC yet? I don't want to play as a stinkin' christian, all of Europe shall fall under the pagan hammer.

All they said is not before may , that sounds quite far and quite close to eu 4 release. I'd like them to rebalance republics too before that.

mmmmm. i really enjoyed the spess marine gameplay - everytime there's a hotspot - i just load them up on the litany of fury, hit warpspace - drop pod 6k to siege or break any coastal engagements.

the codex byzantine calls this maneuver steel rain.

i went to war with bulgaria - for the first time i get to command stacks of 20k - it was nice to see the army not derp and have a really focused objective.
once the war was over - the nobles brought another dude to the throne - and threaten to declare war if i object.
not wanting to shatter the empire again over stupid wars - i let it go and return to Cyprus - where I'm content to protect the empire from ilkhans and golden horde.
all was good, till my daughter murdered his brother.

before i knew it - i have taken 2 days of sick leave just to play moar.
weekend is coming - i fear the worst.

That's the next patch according to the devs

 

[RK47]

if i buy the Legacy of Rome DLC will it take effect when I load my save game?

 

[Commissar Draco]

Most fun is from playing small duke/cunt and trying to marry your family freak collection into those juicy Kingdoms, Grand Principalities and Empires. Once You have Kingdom or God forbid Empire the game becomes too easy. Glad You like the cRPG of 2012 RK47 kun.

 

[RK47]

Cyprus Marines !

Todeh the enemeh is at oua doar! We know oua duteh and we will do eet. We fight for our honor as Blod Rehvens,and we fight in the nehme of the Empra!

And if we die this deh we die in gloareh, we die heroes’ deffs, but we shall not die, no! It is the enemeh who will tehste deff and defeat!

As you know! Moast of oua battle brothars are shtehtioned in CYPRUS Pruhpeared to deep strike! Oua perimeter has been pruhpeared in the even dat oua enehmies should be so bald and so foolish. We have plehced numerous beacons, allowing for muhltiple, simuln-tehneous and devashtehting defensive deep strikes!

 

[Multiple Sarcasm]

Help me out, bros: wasn't there a not-too-complicated trick to bringing a member of the opposing religion into your court? I vaguely recall doing that last time I played, but fucketh me, I can't remember how.

 

[SCO]

Marry their daughters, let them educate the sons?

 

[Multiple Sarcasm]

They refuse to marry someone belonging to a "false religion", either.

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

Marry a low-ranking courtier of the different religion.

 

[Kattze]

I think it was matri-marry muslim male with your daughter then invite her to your court. It was disabled after 1.09, so it is no longer possible to breed Christian emperors with Sayyid trait.

 

[Multiple Sarcasm]

My goal is to bring a specific one, from a great house, with excellent traits. But I'm beginning to think the infidels being low-born was the reason I managed to do it before.

Well, shucks.

 

[Mortmal]

yeah, im not sure if i want to leave.

That game is addictive like a drug seriously, i played that all day long , i couldnt stop always wanting to see what will happen next, if my plot succeed, how history will evolve etc.. Its possibly the game i played the longest amount in my life topping 383 hours right now . Also i advise using ck2 plus mod if its become too easy, its adding a lot of new events and make things more stable (sometimes too much).

It's not exactly your situation but it seems that it will take effect.

 

[Horus]

They probably won't accept matrilineal marriage with your courtiers(minus 4points because they aren't important)
Marry your daughters or sisters with them and they will come.

It's a great timesink i agree to that but it gets boring after you became an empire and wage war between countries and empires.
Casus beli's are great at duchy level but after that it makes things bit tedious and stupid if you just think about it.
Would the emperor of britania easily leave the france shores after conquering entire kingdom just because he doesn't have a valid casus bel for every countyi ?
I should be able declare war without casus beli on everyone(with severe penalties) and should be allowed more backstabbing between empires.
But as for now whole war mechanics are great for smaller scale conflicts but are severely lacking at wars between empires

I didn't tried ck2 plus but game definetely needs more events so i might try it sometime later.

 

[Average Manatee]

Yeah, the kingdom level and above should function more like EU3. Would be an interesting thing to try and mesh the games together.

 

[Brayko]

Yeah despite the amazing new engine I don't think CK2 will be the premier title from it, just the first. March of the Eagles is already a big improvement in some ways, like army management and overall better warfare. CK is more about lineage and getting married, lands, titles, and all that other medieval monarchy politics stuff that GoT nerds probably splurge over.

 

[Average Manatee]

I tried the GoT mod. The major problem is that it's only worthwhile for the first 20 or so years, when characters you actually know are around. After that it's just the same randomly generated dipshits from CK2 vanilla, without the allure of fucking around with real world history of CK2.

 

[RK47]

So.. mercs spawn near your capital. And since my capital is an island, I'd like to imagine I just summoned 9,000 of them from Litany of Fury in orbit.
But the biggest issue is they don't come with their own fleet to ship them off the island. And my naval levy is limited to 6200... Grrrrr.....
