ninjahedgehog posted:Also make it a text- and screenshot-based LP, because -- shocker -- this text, chart, and map-based game does not lend itself well to video at all. My Earth 2150 trilogy LP literally took me 3 years to complete with each update taking around 3-4 hours to play+write. Text/screenshot LPs are a lot more work than video ones imo.

Yeah they're definitely more work, but they're way more fun to read. We appreciate the effort. Can't play until I get home from work, but apparently there's an event that's the exact opposite of Devilspawn called Blessed Child? Apparently it goes to second sons who don't stand to inherit anything, and gives them insane personal combat stats and a invasion CB that they can pass on through bloodlines. Has anyone seen this yet?

binge crotching posted:There are new 50 piety nomadic horde options for every religion group. They look pretty good, especially now that the prestige light cavalry options have an offensive debuff. The only piety option I'm seeing for nomads are light cavlary / horse archer mix which is garbage if tactics haven't been changed at all. Maybe you're talking about tribals? They have some new options, but again if tactics haven't been changed the light infantry / light cavalry one should blow all the others away. What do you mean by offensive debuff though? I'm not seeing anything about that in the game or the patch notes. Not that it would matter, the raid tactic is so good.

I made a random world to mess around, just out of curiosity, and here's a screenshot from it: There's a lot going on here. And yes, my character is an egg; that's what dragon children get, apparently. That egg is 13 years old.

Well, duelling people is awesome. I was afraid that starting as Gotland was harder now because there are more provinces in Sweden and the two power blocks (Austergautland, just to the west, and Sundermanland, north of it) were bigger. I rerolled a high Martial guy, and immediately went for the King of Sweden ambition and declared Subjugation on one of the OPM. By he time it was over, the other two OPMs were taken. That left the two counties up north unclaimed, so I rushed them and managed to siege them faster than they did me. 4 Counties in less than a year, but by now I have no easy targets, and the closer one (the petty Kingdom of Vestergauland, to the west of Austergautlan) is being carpet sieged by Austergautlan. Specifically, by the only son and heir of the King of Austergautland. I decide to try and assassinate the kid before he wins his war, and take a stab at a weakened Vestergauland the same day. He's hated by his Spymaster and Marshall, so after 30 gold I have 200% plot power. Meanwhile, I swear fealty to Austergautland, hoping to fish for some counties if the kid kicks the bucket. Which he does, but my plot is discovered! The King naturally hates my guts, because I have killed his only heir. More importantly, he becomes my Rival. Which means I can duel him. That's a good start, even if I have to deal with a -40 malus from being Dishonourable and a known murderer. Now to get myself killed in another duel and that will fix this problem.

There seems to be a bi-theist spin to most of these random religion from that high god/evil god layout. A lot like Zorastrianism. I like that you have an egg for a child portrait. Pylons posted:All the DLCs (except holy fury) are 50% off on the paradox store. drat, it wasn't like that when last I checked. Now I get to waffle over whether I want to shell out for some extra background music or for portrait packs that my eyeballs can't differentiate as well. Soho Joe posted:So long Rome, I can't justify playing you for 200 more years but we had fun I've never done it, but in theory what you're supposed to do once you get to the top of the world and keeping your empire intact is a massive hassle is just figure out a way to torpedo it all. Let imperial succession pass you by and retire to a nice little duchy to tend cabbages, or be as tyrannical as possible to get overthrown, even try engineering it so that you get a CK2 game over with no dynasty left, just like the real Roman emperors did. makes sense if all the micromanagement is so hard no real person in-world could do it.

i did a massive Duchy of Antioch (turned Kingdom of Jerusalem, turned Outremar Empire...) run a while back and it really is better to just let the AI run things after a certain point. like, tagswitch to some minor (or major) duchy in some part of the empire and tend cabbages or club egyptians or something.

SlothfulCobra posted:There seems to be a bi-theist spin to most of these random religion from that high god/evil god layout. A lot like Zorastrianism. Having done a Rome 769 -> End Game playthrough it becomes incredibly tedious once Europe is under your thumb and the Islamic world is not a threat. If you're good at the game you can probably achieve this by around 1000 or so. It's probably better to stop actively trying to manage your realm because otherwise the game slows to a crawl as you try and figure out if you should give the Excharchate of Aquitaine to your rival who already has France, Brittany and Asturias or promote yet another duke who will hate you because he holds a feudal title and you've given out viceroyalties. And then after you make a decision another old Excharchate dies and you start the whole routine all over again. axeil fucked around with this message at 23:30 on Nov 13, 2018 |

Or more likely your armless legless blind incapable duelist who has seemed basically immortal for past 50 years of this regency. I'm not at home and not able to play yet. Are you able to save Random World settings? I'm gonna always generate animal kingdoms so if I don't need to scroll through multiple times it'd be great.

Randomized states but left religions mostly alone. Wound up with a tribal Christians who can raid and sacrifice people. Small issue though, when I finally went feudal I can't actually complete a coronation. The final event pops twice and then doesn't vanish from my event list.

binge crotching posted:Looks like they were serious about getting rid of the tribal_invasion CB for non-tribals. It was already pretty limited in that you had to be pagan and be a part of a couple of different culture groups, but now it's either be tribal or have elective gavelkind. Or I guess be the head of the Aztec Empire / Mongol Empire ... Looks super easy to mod at least. Maybe add the Roman empire or something for funsies on world conquest games.

There's a rule option in settings regarding "child of destiny," which I hadn't seen before. Looks loving awesome. It says it rarely generates great conquerers with special casus belli's and higher attributes. Basically exactly what I was bitching about wanting the other day lol.

Huh, so be careful you aren't at war while your coronation is occurring. You get a bunch of little penalties. And amusingly you get a bad coronation trait that says you procrastinated in getting crowned even if you started the coronation the second you created your kingdom.
