I'm not offended in the slightest, I legitimately want to meet someone who will see this feature and think "now that's a good addition". I legitimately want to, and my curiosity will be satisfied.

I am literally going play this and I think it's a great idea to be able to toggle so many things. I am going to convert entire Europe into the Gay and I am going to have a blasts while doing it. Knowing that someone can so butthurt about it will make it all the better.

Back then I asked the very same question about Sunset Invasion (dare I add that absolutely nobody uses this shit option btw) or the EU4 option to randomize the new world (okay maybe some people use this one) and only now do I have to endure the cheeky comments of smart asses.

But at least I got an answer. So I'll hold the list of invoked reasons to use this cool gameplay option :
- It triggers people.
- I want to gimp my game and hit game over in 2 generations.

The same reason as any of the sillier setup rules, like having the world ruled by animals. Perhaps I'm wrong — and I'd love to be — but it's very hard to assume that someone singling out anything to do with ~The Gays~ on here isn't doing so for any reason other than boring internet culture wars; because it's completely ignorable, and isn't something that wasted any meaningful amount of dev resources.

And back when they announced that you could play as a horse, I also wondered who the fuck asked for this. Somehow it didn't cause as many kind-hearted reactions back then, and I wasn't suspected of hating on animals.

It's not like gays can't have kids. Maybe the all-gay option helps with late game performance since there will be fewer characters alive.

Don't want to shitpost in this wonderful thread, but I can't help but ask: Swedes did this again? Did they add fanook-tolerancy to a medieval themed """realistic""" game?

They literally gave more options for you to toggle with religious tenets. By default everything is historical. However you can create a heresy which for example allows for gay marriage.

I'm not into strategy games but if I were I could see why that's a cool addition. Not an addition that I would ask for, but an addition I could imagine having fun with since it adds variety into the game, letting you create your own society. Just like how so many RPGs have ridiculously pointless skills that people are okay with, even though no one in their sane mind would ask devs for a skill that is useful in a couple of ocassions and nothing more.

I wasn't saying you were offended, it's just that it's weird how people dislike features that are entirely optional and make a big fuss out of it.

 

[vonAchdorf]

Perfect for Drow mods.

 

[Wyatt_Derp]

$49.99, $600 for royal supreme director cut edition now, or wait a year and get patched up base game for free and skip the worthless Amazon Horse Women from Hell DLCs. Sounds good. I love their business model.

I agree that I posted way too much for way too little a concern. I have a tendancy to shitpost and sometimes it spirals out of control. Sincere apologies.
Now let's have fun folks, only a few hours left.

I always meant to get into Paradox games. Would this be a good entry into it?

Probably.

Systems wise EU is always the one that's the most Grand Strategy-ish.

 

[Morgoth]

I'm not looking for something grand, but for something addictive and surprising.

Why spend 50 bucks on a gamble? Get CK 2 first. CK 3 looks to be an upgrade in terms of events, graphics, whatever, but it's still the same format of game. Plus the base CK 2 game is FREE.

 

[Average Manatee]

CK2 is free, is well-documented with tons of guides and tutorials to tell you how things work, and of all the current paradox games holds up the best without any DLC IMO.

 

[Morgoth]

No no no! I want something new!

 

[Heroic Liberator]

The CK series is the best in that regard since it has the most roleplaying qualities due to the fact that you control a character and not a state. Plenty of emergent storytelling for you to enjoy.

You can get CK2 and just pirate the DLCs from cs.rin.ru (& download the CreamAPI for them) since they work on Steam just fine.

Grand Strategy games (EU4) bore me quickly - I liked CK / CK2 much better because map painting isn't mandatory and the game is more character focused.

 

[IDtenT]

I want more Vicky goddammit!

 

[RobotSquirrel]

Go for a 2 for one. Install CK2 free and install Princes of Darkness then you don't need CK3 OR Vampire so you've screwed Paradox out of 2 sales!
I do like the free CK2 because its pretty generous when you consider how many mods work with it.

Tbh though I suspect this might have been a huge mistake on their part as they've made something now that competes directly with their newer games and offers value that they just can't match. They somehow managed to create the same scenario they had with Vicky 2 where even though there were newer games to play people still played Vicky 2. Same with EU3 some people didn't update to EU4. So with CK3 I'm expecting a large portion of their install base to just sit on the free version of CK2 and never move. This is why you never ever make past games free especially when your recent game is just retreading old ground.

 

[Heroic Liberator]

And speaking of CK2, Morgoth...

You know you want to.
