I'd seriously pay like $5 for a working Mac alt-tab function at this point though.

Groogy posted:So this is not the time to tell you the next expansion is North America? I can see it now. Declare war on the 'state' 1000 miles over from you. Raise army, tell them to move to it. Watch them die to horrific 10% per month attrition. 20 minutes later, your 15 remaining men arrive and stand outside of the city walls with their spears. Expand over 600 years from a tiny 2 provinces to a staggering 6 provinces, most of which are not connected due to the extensive nothingness that was north america. $20 on Steam, pre order now.

That could be interesting, makes hordes a threat without them just conquering everything. Assuming they also can raid like Vikings. Which I would assume they can.

Welp, thanks for expanding the map in the direction I was planning on doing myself for Rise of Islam. At least now I can properly model the Gökturks and Tang on the map. Hopefully.

Dallan Invictus posted:(if you read Groogy's posts on the Paradox forums, the lag issues don't come strictly from "more characters" or "more provinces" or even "dead characters piling up", the situation is a bit more complex than that) Links or quotes, please? I am interested but trawling for dev posts on Pdox can be a chore.

Dallan Invictus posted:Also, the very last map (or timeline) expansion I am prepared to not hate. Seriously. Stop. Please. I'd be ok with a West Africa revision, to include some of the other nations in that area and the coastal provinces. Mali needs more to do beside just kind of exist. Neighbors and a sea route to expand without fighting through the Moroccan deserts would do that. It would also require a huge revision to West African religion mechanics, which I am also for. I don't see this as a huge possibility though. DrSunshine posted:Calling it now -- China expansion Q1 2016. Eventually the map will be all of Eurasiafrica with a big hole where China should be. Then they'll announce Oceania DLC.

They're doing it! They're finally doing it! Actual landless horde mechanics! Weekly Dev Diary 4: Horse Lords Doomdark posted:It's time for the weekly dev diary and this time it's a biggie, as we proudly announce Horse Lords, the new Crusader Kings II expansion! So what makes the proud rulers of the endless steppes unique? Well, in short, their relative lack of permanent settlements. This expansion gives the nomadic peoples of the steppes a unique type of gameplay which is not centered around Castles, Temples and Cities at all. Playing as a Nomad, you are allowed to conquer and even own normal Holdings, but they are worth little to you except as vassal cash cows. What you really care about is more grazing land for your sheep and horses. Thus, nomad hordes simply have a total population, which grows relative to how many empty Holding slots exist in your provinces (steppe provinces are best, but some other terrain types are also acceptable).

Do other historically nomadic and horse inclined peoples like the Magyar and some of the Turkic tribes also get nomad mechanics or is it exclusively Mongols?

Bold Robot posted:Hooray, another region I don't care about that will slow the game down. Yep. That's it for me and CK2. Funky Valentine posted:Please stop playing CPU-intensive games on toasters, hth gently caress that bullshit, my machine is less than a year old and is run by a perfectly good CPU. The game already grinds to unbearable slowness after 100-150 years and expanding the map more will just exponentially increase that problem. I loved you, CK2, but...  Edit: I will repeat that some kind of utility that goes through a savefile and cleans out all the useless courtiers (which by 200 years in must be 75% of the characters) would tremendously help alleviate this problem and would easily be worth dropping  on and it's baffling that this doesn't already exist.Edit2: for what it's worth I do like the new mechanics.

Since Mongolia will actually exist on the map instead of being terra incognita just outside the bounds we can now prevent the hordes altogether by simply taking over all of Mongolia.

The screenshots they were using were from the 769 date with some sort of Mazdaist character, so yeah, I would assume that the mechanics are for all of central Asia, not just the Mongols. Also, looking between all the dev diary screenshots, I think we now know what the ribbon colors are for all the government types:

Hopefully this expansion comes with a boatload of performance fixing because even at full speed each day takes about a full second to process 300-400 years in for me. But then again, I'm running a lovely 5 year old box with an AMD CPU. Count me in with the Paradox forum grognards.

Just saying it would be nice if I could play this game at a reasonable speed on my laptop. It's kinda slow (but acceptable) now but I'm not optimistic about adding a ton of new territory.

It takes me about 5 seconds for each day on max speed, so I'm sort of just rolling my eyes at the people complaining about 'slowdown'. It's almost as bad as people complaining about how the single loading screen takes like 30 seconds which is practically nothing.

Sorry your CPU that was mid tier 2-3 years ago isn't running brand new updates and games very well  CK2 has already been supported for longer than most other games, I don't think it is unreasonable to say 'well if you can't afford new hardware to keep up with updates just be happy with the current state of the game' since there's no expectation of getting DLC forever. I mean you have fun with CK2 now but you're saying once the update comes out and you're not running the update CK2 will suddenly blow for you? Okay.

Eric the Mauve posted:Yep. That's it for me and CK2. The game is actually significantly faster than before and you should probably stop pretending that you know better than the developers what will and will create significant slowdowns. The idea that Central Asia will cause CK2 any significant slowdown can trace its origins squarely to your rear end.
