That's like, every other CK2 thread poster. Hey guys, check out my epic progress; started in 769 as a Mongol Jain Republic and it's 1300 and I finally formed Britannia!

Speaking of the Games threads, check out this pro advice given to someone who wants to learn EU4:Koramei posted:e: other advice if you're not the type to get reliant on them: cheat. pick a small power and use console commands. throw yourself into coalition wars and massive overextension, see what the disasters do

Adding coalitions to CK2 is pretty dumb, but with the extremely bastardized diplomacy I don't see how else they'd be able to model feudal lords and poo poo banding together to deal with expansionist realms. Coalitions should probably be exclusive to religious or culture groups, though.

BBJoey posted:this dude has given this sage piece of advice more than once (or maybe it's a different dude which is even more stupid) There's a weird bug with the heir education event but I've only gotten that once ever anyway. I bet they'll gently caress with the balance of the patch in like a week though.

It's what happened after the Seljuks got a shitton of land improving an already existing system instead of just bolting a new one on to the bloated mess that is 2015 ck2? hmmm, how about no pal. did groogy ever get to add the curia system to the norse religion or did even the retards who run ck2 realise that was a loving terrible idea

CK2 is really good after Horse Lords but they're continuing the fine tradition of bolting new poo poo on instead of improving old stuff with this next DLC. Did you guys see the post about what they're doing to alliances BTW. They aren't automatic with being a dynasty member or having marriage ties... Now you have to proactively ask someone to form an alliance with you, but I guarantee there's going to be a bunch of obtuse ---- modifiers like every other diplo option.

Oh yeah I forgot. You can't form alliances with just anyone, only with dynasty members and people you have marriage ties to. So it's exactly the same as before, except instead of sometimes denying a 0 prestige call to arms, the AI will just refuse to form an alliance.

Playing Byz with the new patch is much more interesting to start. Can't blockade the Bosphorus anymore.

Average Bear posted:Playing Byz with the new patch is much more interesting to start. Can't blockade the Bosphorus anymore. I like the idea of that change but I think it's kinda dumb... Would be cooler if you could stop fleet movement past straits or canals if you controlled the provinces. Or if you only blocked army movement at 100%, it's just bonus attrition otherwise.

Actually the start is infuriating I changed my mind. Poland's AI is abyssmal and will send small stacks to be wiped rather than together. Every one of your potential allies gets into a stupid war, and for some reason your troops are made of tissue paper.

I think one of the less appreciated CK mechanics is how custom naming your heirs makes it likely o have NPCs name their children with the same name if you get a good prestige. I noticed that after noticing there were three different counts and courtiers called "Faglord" on my realm.

I always thought it was just that characters would name their children after their ancestors, not that it was a prestige thing or w/e.

I'm not sure but in my Britannia game I had a ton of nephews and grand-nephews, etc., named after my guy who won the Invasion of Scotland, way more than any of the less-accomplished rulers. Maybe it's just a coincidence, though.

I understand how Paradox wants to make painting the map more of a challenge with each DLC but it seems like they are just adding things that make it more gamey than rather than challenging. It's been like that with a lot of the patches but it seems even moreso with the alliance mechanic. It will end up still being just as easy to blob across the map as long as you know how to abuse the mechanic and have the patience for a little extra micromanagement

My favorite is how just holding every title yourself is still the easiest way to WC and they keep making the demesne limit/wrong holding type penalty more and more brutal every patch instead of like, giving you a reason to have vassals other than you want to have fun instead of win
