If there's still time to make suggestions, I have one. Searching by culture/religion in the character finder? Maybe it's just because I have mods, but sometimes I want to see every character of a certain culture, just to see how it's doing.


I hope they are. I'd be all over that.

Same but Dominions. Or buy out Sovereignty and redo it with a decent map and CK2 traits.

When I finally got it to stick, it was with a eunuch character. He's been going for three hundred years now, and in addition to no balls, he's now missing an eye, a hand, a leg and half his face. My empire is booming, though (a complete lack of succession crises will do that), and dude has a parrot to keep him company :unsmith:

I would hope that the fraud outcome has a high chance of FUN side effects.

Which actually reminds me, could traits that have a periodic cycle be implemented? For example, let's say you made a hulk trait that would for a period of time add to strength and take away from learning but then after a set period of time or a random period of time the trait would revert to an inactive state. Or an alter state that could be something else completely.

An example of a non-fantasy trait would be herpes. The character would have a flare up and the active herpes trait would surface and then after a random number of months the trait would flip to a dormant herpes trait. These two traits would have different effects, let's say the active trait had -2 diplomacy, -15% fertility, and -1 health, while the inactive trait could have -15% fertility and -1 health.

Edit: I do realize you could sorta do this with events that constantly point to one another but that could get messy and buggy real drat quick.

Well, you'd want something to tell that it flipped so there'd be some event there either way

I think you could event that pretty easily. Just have a hidden event that fires one of two visible events on a delay. Each of the visible events would give one trait and remove the other as well as firing the hidden event. The hidden event would fire the event for the trait you don't have on a delay. You could even do it with just the two visible events firing each other on a delay, although you'd need to edit the timing in two events when tweaking that way.

Court physicians turning into bigger players is amazing. A Norse culture Germanic religion physician became regent for an infant duchess in England. At age 6 he obviously gives her the heritage focus and flips her to Norse Germanic.

Its going to end in a wet fart of a forced conversion but seeing the Germanic coat of arms border in the middle of England in the 1100s brought a smile to my face.

I wish it were easier to tell other countries' relative strength compared to yours. There's so many different places in the interface you have to check to assess how many troops another country could potentially bring out in a war, and then you declare and they pull an extra 7k troops out of their butt anyway.

It'd also be nice to have some feedback on what won or lost you a battle, beyond the obvious "you invaded over a river/into a mountain range" icons. Sometimes I get into a battle with a slight numerical advantage, on the plains, with no river crossing, and handpicked commanders with solid traits...and I lose, for no apparent reason.

I had a mystic treat my generic illness by cutting off my hand once (and yes I did select the mystic treatment option) so it's not a sure thing. :v:

On the plus side, I didn't get "severely injured" along with it like you seem to with a normal physican.

I'm curious: Can you actually have positive relations with other immortal characters, or is it all Highlander, all the time? In my current game, I'm going through the centuries with my loyal also-immortal mystic at my side. I like to think that the two of us have grown quite emotionally dependent on each other, as everyone else we befriend and invest our feelings in is doomed to eventually die.

It would be nice to sometimes also have a small circle of immortal superfriends at the end of the game instead of only the constant struggle that these screenshots hint at. :shobon:
