Looking forward to the tech update -- the game crawls on a Late 2013 rMBP (so much so that it isn't worth playing after 100 years :-S).

No, there still won't be any fylkariate and so on. You'll just have a religion without any allies essentially and realy low morale authority.

You can't start with reformed pagan religions from the designer, but you can sort of fake it with the console. Type "religion norse_pagan_reformed" then "give_title d_norse_pagan_reformed [character id]". You could also just give yourself all five holy sites, reform the religion, then hand them back, but I haven't tested that.

Mostly because I kept trying to give_title d_fylkirate, which did not work.  Interestingly, even after I grant independence to the temples, the owners of their respective counties are usually rather slow taking them back.

Ugh, was trying to keep ultimogeniture but my loving emperor keeps having kids. Now I'm 75 and racing against this war I foolishly joined so I can quickly change the succession to primogeniture so my 5 year son doesn't inherit again and let everyone drive the crown laws back down.

Is Crusader Kings II vanilla worth 10 bucks or is it like EU4 and really starts to shine with $50 bucks of DLC added on?

Its been on my wishlist forever, so right now my option is 10 bucks for the base game or 40 bucks for the base game and everything else. Though if all the DLC comes down to 10 bucks from time to time maybe I'll just nab the base and wait.

The DLC are awesome and you should get them, but if you're not sure you're ready for that sort of commitment, play the base game. is a loving steal.

Is seniority known to be broken? I enforced seniority in my liege's realm through a faction demand (no war) and the heir screen is still showing the old, gavelkind heirs. Edit: Reloading the game worked. I'll post a bug report in a bit. Green Wing fucked around with this message at 21:31 on Feb 16, 2015 |

I got the base game a little while back and have spent like 70 hours on it so far without feeling like I've exhausted anything yet. I'll get the expansions at some point but I don't feel any rush to do so.

And CK2 Vanilla still comes with all the post-release patches that have come along with the DLC, you just don't get the extra content, which is nice but not necessary if you're just starting out.

I bought this and "The Republic" earlier. I should stop adding more expansions while I still haven't properly grasped some of the more basic mechanics, but there are so many and it adds new things to chase.

My recommendation is to put all the DLCs on your wishlist so Steam just lets you know when they're on sale, and then you buy. I like playing Muslim rulers and I have been looking forward to Rajas of India, which I bought today. Ruler Design (with Ruler Design Unlocked mod) is a pretty major deal if you want to try out something new and don't want it to go horribly wrong in the first few minutes.

I just looked up what we got for free through patches. Patch 1.06: quote:Added new provinces, titles and history for Mali, Songhay and Ghana I can't even remember how claims worked before SoI. Commander traits! Map expansion + empires besides the HRE and ERE. Patch 1.07: quote:Faction System Faction system!! The self-improve ambitions that are replaced by the focus system from Way of Life. Ability to have both a plot and ambition. Liege levies worked a lot different, you would actually raise the troops from your vassals' holdings, emptying them just like your personal holdings are emptied now if you raise your troops. Patch 1.08: quote:Retinues no longer get free leaders You could get a huge number of able courtiers if your retinues were big enough. That reminds me that the retinue system was a lot different, the higher your military organization tech was, the more retinues you got (as a percentage of your levies I believe), but at the same time your could raise fewer and fewer troops directly from your holdings. Raising levies in a special province is a popular and somewhat gamey tactic. Give your vassal kings a county at the front and teleport all the troops from your home to the frontlines. Patch 1.09: quote:Added a 'Grant Independence' diplomatic interaction Tanistry and Ultimogeniture! Demesne size overhaul. Mercs no longer being a lot weaker in the endgame, more mercs! Patch 1.10: quote:Completely revised technology system New technology and revised buildings system! Holy sites and a better religious authority system. Patch 2.0 quote:Ironman mode Ironman! Achievements! I'm an achievement whore  Patch 2.1: quote:Major map revisions and additions: East Africa, Armenia, Central Asia, Siberia and India Huge map expansion! Diplomatic range, unified faction revolts, new system for cultural special units. Biggest decadence overhaul. Patch 2.2: quote:Added tribal holdings Tribal holdings. Centralization and imperial administration laws. TL;DR: Even the unpatched base game was worth 10 bucks, with all the stuff they patched in it's money well spent.

Well guess that solves my conundrum... got Way of Life recently on impulse, promising myself I'd wait until Charlemagne was on sale to get it too, as I have every minor+major DLC for this game excluding songs, units and other purely cosmetic stuff. Not one week later, Charlemagne is at -75%, and now my CK2 is fully up-to-date again  this game is like a drug.

Making a Byzantine Republic and aiming for the Roman Empire looks fun. I tried recently as the HRE, but then I realized you can't loving form the Roman Empire that way.

I've just gotten as far as having a Roman Republic starting as the Khazars. Inheritance is interesting, since Born in the Purple trumps the republic's Designated Heir title, with the most senior Born in the Purple having preference for inheritance. I think Designated Heir would still let you pick which Born in the Purple heir you can get though.

Do you think you could convert to orthodox to create the Byzantine Empire, then switch back to something else later? The biggest thing discouraging me is that I have no interest in playing as a Byzantine vassal, and starting as an emperor is so lame. And you can't form the Byzantine once you've conquered it unless you're orthodox.

The honorary title of despot gives a non purple heir their position in succession as if they were born in the purple.

That is how I did it. quote:The biggest thing discouraging me is that I have no interest in playing as a Byzantine vassal, and starting as an emperor is so lame. And you can't form the Byzantine once you've conquered it unless you're orthodox. You also lose the Varangian Guard if you re-form the Empire, and destroy the Ecumenical Patriarch in the process if you use a Tribal Invasion. Which is why I got big enough that I could raid the Byzantines for concubines with weak claims, which I ensured were inheritable by declaring a claim war on their behalf, then white peace out of it. Eventually I had an heir with a claim, which after inheritance, I could press. This was delayed by a generation because said heir was granted a barony by one of my vassals. I ended up pissing off all my vassals by my attempts to provoke my preferred heir into rebellion by vassal retraction, and ended up at war with all of them except my preferred heir. But after I pressed the claim for the Byzantine Empire I Tribal Invasioned all the land I needed for the Roman Empire, made Constantinople my capital, and used the RoI decision to convert to local religion (and then a further abandon heresy because I tanked Orthodox moral authority and got unlucky), created Jerusalem to get enough prestige and piety, and convinced enough vassals to convert to Orthodox to seat all of the pentarchs to mend the schism and form the Roman Empire. Knuc U Kinte posted:The honorary title of despot gives a non purple heir their position in succession as if they were born in the purple. I'm aware of this mechanic. Despot is not available to a Khazar Orthodox Patrician, I haven't checked exactly what the conditions are for it yet.

The clothing packs are eh. The unit packs I can sort of recommend, because it's not all knights in mail hacking at each other, you get Norse axemen and Muslims with scimitars,etc. It's immersion, but it's not that great an investment. I still kick myself occasionally for paying the full 2 bucks for some of the shield, face, and unit packs.

I feel like Paradox is kind of overdoing it with the tiny DLCs.

Err you are seriously listening to a guy that thinks the tiny little men you can barely see are worth it? The face stuff is better because you can actually SEE the portraits. That said, the tiny guys you have to zoom right in to see are also good.
