Mans posted:You can't not expand on this. Well, shoot, where do I even begin? It's been a cluster gently caress all over, but I'll try to summarize. 1. Paradox never added Jews until the Sons of Abraham expansion/patch with the reasoning that they didn't want to add a religion with no mechanics. That's fair, but see West Africans, Soumenskos, most Heresies, etc. This meant folks who should have been Jewish were Tengri instead. It was worse by Old Gods. 2. Defenders of Paradox (?) stated such wonderful things as Jews not having any impact on this period/weren't important enough, that they wouldn't add to the game, or that it's not possible to add them in mechanically without things going off the rails (ha). 3. Some people said other areas needed more work to be historical because there wasn't enough work done on the ERE, HRE, etc etc. Only after that could Jews be added. I'm pretty sure there were worse things said, but that's the short of it.

Gigantic wild hyperagressive bulls dominating the countryside of Germany and Poland (meant as geographical, not political, terms) must have event potential.

I think the thing with India is that it is rather self contained. Unless you're an Indian nation or a nEmpire/Kingdom based in Persia or Russia, you're not going to end up interacting with them.

The world of CK2 wasn't really one world but a set of overlapping worlds. So how do you handle that? Build the whole world but keep any one part from being able to interact with all other parts? Or build separate games? Or just focus on one world and leave the others out?

The correct answer is to build separate games. India and Europe/North Africa only indirectly interact with each other, so there's no good reason to have them in the same game. The game systems built for European feudalism feel out of place in India and it would be better as its own game, while its inclusion doesn't make the rest of the world more interesting to play. Same goes for China or any other region in the time period. There is no good reason to spread yourself thin like that instead of focusing on making the key part of your game as fun as possible.

CKIII Reaction Predictions: Paradox is DUMBING DOWN the game! (a given) Why is paradox charging us more money for the same game and they're cutting content! This is an affront to my consumer rights! Don't buy paradox! Boycott CKIII until they add back India! (buys the game anyway) India was an integral part of my fun, to have paradox rip it out of their sequel tore something from deep within me. My ability to feel joy. (we can only hope) Admittedly I'd be down for it if they split the franchise up into Crusader Kings and, I don't know, Crusader Mings or something where the far east is the focus. But if you thought the Abbasids were OP, guess who'd be the new blob on the block?

Well, you end up with a cascade of europe->middle east->persia->india->indochina->china. So, 5 games? Although then you have the steppe which gets to interact with all of them. 6? And West Africa interacts with north africa and arabia. 7? e: also, would play the poo poo out of a crusader mings game, especially if you could play as a secret society or a scholar-official dynasty.

Europe and West Africa east to Afghanistan, Near East and Central Asia to India, China and its surroundings? I wish there were paradox-like games set in ancient and medieval China, it's overlooked like none other.

I've said this before, but the feudal model actually suits India better than a lot- probably most- of the other places in the game. Fragmentation and the collapse of centralised power were the order of the day. I mean, if you're going to be anal about it, the system as it stands is a more-or-less reasonable approximation of high mediaeval France and the further you get from 12th century Paris the more hosed up things become.

Like you can sort of understand why they'd want a wholly dynamic India as a foil for the middle east and there's worse fits you could do with the politics, but its just an appendix the way states act around Pakistan and Delhi.

Man, you've just got to love those "let's see what's going on in the rest of the worl- ...oh gently caress.." moments. Here I am, making my way towards reclaiming the glory of Rome as its one true heir (though Rome will have to wait until I can actually field a navy), thinking I'm being a pretty big conqueror with my Greater Romania and army of puppets, and then I decide to look across the pond.  CHOO CHOO, FREEDOM TRAIN INCOMING. Note Cuba being successfully invaded. Wouldn't be surprised if they did manage to invade the Entente in Africa while I invade India (Dehli has abandoned the Entente, leaving them helpless  ).I wonder if I can manage to take on the likes of Mitteleuropa at some point.
