I wanted to add Moroccans and Nigerians as off-map sources of Islamic enlightenment

I am getting worried that the fan fork mod developers are going down the wrong path with their latest "Dev diary", talking about putting in ancient religions now into the mod. I hope Ofaloaf and the original team will just eventually update the original mod if the fan fork gets too stupid and keeps adding features like they said they wouldn't.

A crusade overhaul is long overdue. That it's a part of the free features is pretty cool. Hints of piety becoming much more important are encouraging. Perhaps they will tinker with excommunication? That's another core feature that needs an update. All of this makes me really curious about the paid content.

The expansion named not-Deus-Vult can't not be the final one. They're gonna be so embarrassed if they sell enough that the bosses ask for more.

My problem with this game is that I only get through like one or two generations of ruler before burning out. I kinda want to play without any DLC so I don't get distracted by secret societies and illnesses etc. and can play faster. Is the base game without any DLC gonna feel unplayable? Or is there a good combination of DLC which improves the game without adding too much extra distracting stuff?

I really wish my first game hadn't been as a viking. Everything else feels glacially slow compared to raiding and barbarian conquest. I've built the Empire of Scandinavia into a powerhouse like five times, but every time I try something else it's just boring.

Ride the sea of grass, thunder and plunder your way through civilization. It's just as action-packed as going a-viking, if not more so. The only downside is that if you get serious about the "burning down civilization" thing, eventually the micro of revoking titles will drive you to suicide, but until then you can have a grand old time.

So the people who bought the most expensive paradoxcon package get a chance today in a workshop to make a character for ck2 that will be put in the game in a future patch. Theres even baby clothes with 'designated heir' written on it.

Horse Nomads are great and probably the most fun characters to play in this game for me. Going full Khan and trying to come out on top of the Central Asian Thunderdome is really fun, and once micromanaging revocations gets boring you can just point yourself at a random title in Western or Eastern Europe you want, do a Nomad Invasion for a Kingdom, and settle there as a feudal to basically play as as a dynasty of Conan the Barbarian conquerers who are kings by their own hand. It's really fun to campaign around the Steppes and take Tibetan and Central Asian feudal titles to burn down until you've got a big enough Horde to conquer Greece from the Byzantines to settle in.

Which is the best dlc to get along with the base game? I can only really afford one or two. It might of course be better to not get any dlc at all and wait until a few dozen hours of playing.

I can't pull it up since I'm on mobile. The short answer is Conclave & Way of Life adds stuff for everyone and expands the game for every leader. Reapers Due is great for the expanded disease system, and Old Gods gives you a good start date and the ability to play as Vikings or other Pagans. Edit: the game goes on sale all the time, so you don't need to get everything now. I am hella PEEVED fucked around with this message at 20:29 on May 18, 2018 |

Speaking of other pagans, is it possible to make Slavic rulers fun? I've tried a few times, but with the lovely location, low tech/troops and angry neighbors I either get stomped or give up out of boredom after a generation or two. I've seen them take over large chunks of the map when controlled by the ai, so I'm thinking it's technically possible to make them interesting, but I haven't found it yet.

Since it comes up a lot when people are talking about what DLCs to get, you may notice Conclave has a low rating on Steam. This isn't because Conclave is bad, it's actually really good, it's just that the free patch that came out alongside it featured some changes that were initially very unpopular, and the fans took it out on Conclave's Steam rating, despite the fact that the changes were part of the base game. It's been years since then though and the biggest complaints have been addressed in subsequent patches.

Exactly. You can also make them your chaplain and send them to pagans, but the restrictions on being a chaplain are higher. Also sending them to the Byzantine Empire is usually a good choice, since there is a very good chance they'll come back with no balls.

The other side of that is some people got very unhappy that the council now has actual teeth and powerful vassals not on it can get extra unruly. It's actually harder in some ways to deal with your council now and you have to consider more than who has the biggest appropriate number. It's a drat fine DLC though. Your realm really should get harder to keep together the bigger it gets.

This is on sale on steam again so if you're one of the few people who haven't bought it yet just get it. It's probably the most enjoyable slow paced game ever. I was gonna say strategy game but I don't even know if i'd call it that. Insane historical simulator is more like it.

It isn't a game you play to conquer everything or "win." It's a game you play to participate in crazy Medieval antics like kidnapping your 3 year old brother and sacrificing him to Satan so you can inherit his kingdom. If you ever wondered if you had the potential to be a hideous monster the answer is "yes" and this game will prove that.
