Maybe CK3 will give us randomized Fallout 4 style character faces, and inbred people will just get modifiers on birth to their chin size and eyespacing. e: Truck Karen

Crow Jane posted:Well yes, but it takes away from the fun of empire building when you're basically ruling over the Deliverance setting That for me is what I'd want to see in CK3 - some kinds of Sims style 3d faces generated from traits of the parents. Yes it'd be horrifying at times.

Torrannor posted:In addition to what others have posted before, what's up with Bohemia owning all of Persia? Khotan of all places extending as far west as the Black Sea? And is India ruled by a Muslim emirate? Yeah, Bohemia got mighty big this time around. Khotan is catholic and is spreading like wildfire after a bunch of us decided to kill Gengis before he could do some serious hurt. India is currently cathar, but has been Catholic, slavic, romuva, and norse. The empire started out as buddhist, though. The papacy on the other hand, is gulping up more and more of Italy. No idea what's going on there, but I say let them. The HRE got broken up by cathar France and me. The map has changed a bit since the picture was taken. Iceland ended up in a war with France and some others and after some hundred years took Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Prague, and half of Poland, while also eating some of the Byzantine. Then all of a sudden one of my vassals had a foothold in Wales and was warring it up, so now the Empire of Iceland stretches across half of Britain, too. After checking it out, even though there are muslims and a caliph who now and then throws jihads against cathar France to get back Mecca, (usually when the pope decides to throw a crusade for France), none of the leaders of the countries are muslim. They're mostly catholic, cathar, slavic, or norse. France ended up with a revolt, which split it into the two empires. Francia and Hispania. Hispania is now led by a norseman whos religious leader is me. Now to get some ties going, I guess. All in all, quite a fun and interesting game. I love it when stuff like this happens. When it seems like the AI has gone haywire et cetera.

It is. Or, at least it was possible the last time I tried, some years ago, before the adding of India. I expanded the empire of Rogaland all over Europe, from Iceland to Mecca. Worked well enough in EU4. Though there were some boring years before I could get ships to go far enough out to colonize the US and the Pacific. I'm looking forward to finishing this and exporting it to EU4. It'll be quite interesting, I think.

I kind of prefer CK1's portraits. The cartoonier aesthetic fits in better with UI and you don't have to deal with as many blank stares at the camera. Speaking of portraits, I'm getting really tired of every character who catches a little plague or gets wounded putting on some kind of horrifying mask.

Come on, you're a viking, if anything having a borked nose or cheek or something should be more befitting and awe-inspiring that wearing a ugly hockey mask  .I had an event happen where my character decided "gently caress it I'm rich and the king" and made himself a solid gold mask. Gotta admit, that's badass.

You can get gold prosthetic hands and legs too, it's pretty cool. Speaking of masks, why doesn't my satanic high priestess queen get the sweet goat skull that male high priests do? I killed a lot of people to get there, I think I deserve more than a gray hockey mask

Is there any reason I shouldn't be able to press my strong claims? I forged them but I only have the ability to declare tributary wars on the title holders. I can press the same claim of someone I brought to my court though. I'm playing a gaian woman in the After the End mod if that helps.

It seemed like the spawn of satan always wears a mask too when I was playing as a female one. She didn't have the mask before coming of age, then after she died it didn't show up anymore and she was a normal looking lady.

Ugly's genetic, so I'd rather not doom my kids to loneliness just because I was unfortunate enough to get my face chopped off. Maybe if they had some non-genetic version, like frail or dull, that'd be reasonable. Alternatively, yes, go for it, Lamarck was right, the child of a disfigured father will also be disfigured.

I don't think outrage over raising the prices of old rear end games like CKII is petty or comparable to tears over Beth's creation club. CKII was around £25 on launch and now it's £35 despite it being over 5 years old. That's just loving shameful, not to mention it's hit countries MUCH poorer than the UK. I love CKII and I love Paradox to death and have defended them many times in the past but you can't turn around and tell me the only people pissed off here are over sensitive gamers. Gamers are morons but even stupid assholes can be right about things.

CKII is definitely more than 7/5 better than it was 5 years ago. I'm not going to pretend I don't want stuff to cost less, but also if you've waited 5 years you can wait till the next time the game is on sale 50%. I feel icky defending a corporation, even Pdox, so I'll stop.

That it came out 5 years ago doesn't stop it from being among the best, if not the best, strategy games out there right now. If you buy the game now, you get a game that runs extremely well, that has active support, and that has more DLC in the works, just like you would get with a brand new game. And that's been an ongoing thing for the last 5 years. If I didn't already own pretty much everything, I'd drop $60 on a game of the year edition without even thinking about it today. I can't think of any other 5 year old game I could say that about. Just because it wasn't released 6 months ago doesn't mean they're crooks if they sell it for more than $10. A lot of man hours have gone into making this game what it is.

It's the same price in usd. I can't speak for poorer regions getting a price hike but the U.K. Getting a hike probably has to do with the pounds free fall in 5 years more than anything.

Yeah, they only places I've heard of the price increase are places where their money is worth significantly less compared to other money than it used to be. It's really the fault of the Tories and Brexit.

Yeah, the european Steam price changes are most likely due to the GBP and EUR taking a poo poo against the USD. I'm Canadian, so I'm just used to massive price hikes everytime the northern peso tanks.

So game question since I haven't played for a long rear end time. I started playing as one of the already christian celtic tribals in Charlemagne start with the intent to form a pirate republic down the line, and I got a muslim physician as a random event, who then suggested I convert (tempted to do it for the giggles). I figure I can always cheese with Umayyad support since they've already swallowed Leon by now and possibly eventually flip Wales and Ireland to cover my rear end once the english get their poo poo in order, but do muslim merchant republics still get saddled with ridiculous amounts of decadence?

Nope. Decadence doesn't affect republics. The mechanic just disappears.
