I'm going to drown! For no reason at all!

So this image was apparently on the Microsoft store showing the entire map and it sure looks like there’s a tear for another piece to be added with China on it.

Not official, so grain of salt etc.

How on earth would they be able to make any computer run a map that includes China? The current map and set up in even more recent games like HoI4 and Imperator slows down badly at end game, I cannot imagine doubling the amount of provinces and characters would be a good thing.

Is there a command to cull all off-map titular kingdom courts? I'm doing an all-nomad shattered world game and everything becomes unplayably laggy 50 years in because every defeated khagan retains their kingdom level clan and goes to live inside a pocket dimension with their increasingly large courts

After the viking conquest of Germany, the Pope declared another crusade against me. Even though the crusaders no longer outnumbered the combined Germanic forces, I still lost because I was besieged from every side and every county lost added like 20% warscore to their side.

I said "gently caress it" and reloaded an earlier save from while the crusade was being planned, and declared my own Great Holy War for Italy. This apparently freaked out the pope, who instead declared a Crusade for Wales, which also distracted enough Catholics that I could take over Italy.

Now Italy is being taught the virtues of the Norse pantheon, while its king went on to claim the title of king of Valencia, a travesty of a kingdom comprising at least 8 separate enclaves. It's the main holdout of Catholicism in Iberia, which is evenly split between that, Sunni and Orthodoxy. The other major Catholic powers are France, Lotharingia and Aquitaine in the west, the impressive empire of Bulgaria and Kingdom of Estonia in the east, and Egypt and Jerusalem in the middle east.

My next step is to sack Rome and send the Pope packing, but I've hit critical mass and cannot seem to get below 90% threat because my subject kingdoms are constantly expanding. Typing this has inspired me to try it, will report back if the entire world rallies to his defense.

E: Well, that was quick. I had -100% warscore at the start of the war, due to the amount of sieges my subjects had currently lost across their many, many wars. That seems sort of unfair.

E2: Also, is there a way to get rid of the "X has joined/left the defensive pact against you" notification? They're drowing out the actually useful messages.

So I'm kind of skeptical about drat near doubling the map size on a technical level.

May 14th, 2020 is a day I will always remember. It was the day I became cynical, bitter, and distraught. You may call it an overreaction for me to feel this way simply because of the business practices of a single video game company, Somethingawful poster, but let me explain what all of this means to me.

My life was thrown off balance and I never regained my footing after that day, because I lost my ability to respect. An essential part of being human is to feel respect for those who may or may not be deserving of it. But it is equally human to feel painful disillusionment when someone or something you respected turns out to be much less than you thought. But the level of betrayal I felt when Dwesa announced the new DLC tore something from me that I'll never be able to recover. They tore away my ability to respect anything, and they tore away my ability to feel human.

Oh? Will there be events where a naked character gets surprised by assassins? Sex scenes? I don't get why there has to be nudity, but I won't be put off by it, either.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.
I have decided to assume it's not contextual at all and if you switch the toggle, everyone will just be naked all the time forever.

You'd better believe I'm flipping that switch.

Nudity toggle will be like console command toggles.. a good way to check for bugs. For example, if you castrate a character you can check if he was really castrated or if the the decision is bugged!

From the Steam thread, more free CK2 DLC:

Det_no posted:

Speaking of Crusader Kings II, the Horse Lords expansion is free for a limited time.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/354330/Expansion__Crusader_Kings_II_Horse_Lords/

Now you too can play a horse and conquer Britannia or whatever it is you do in CK II.

I've been able to get three DLCs free now (Old Gods, Reapers Due, and now Horse Lords.) Are there any others they typically make free? I think I saw Sword of Island or Sons of Abraham free at one point, but I missed out on it. I'd really like to get Legacy of Rome so I can have retinues.

This preview has some actual gameplay videos in btw in case anyone missed them (I almost did)

quote:

Horses are great on the open field, but will be at a disadvantage against lighter troops in dense woods and marshes that make up much of the less-developed tribal areas in the earlier start date.

do you think this is implying that terrain type could change? Like woods might become fields as the holding gets more developed? that would be cool

And its well-worth watching. Though the video is only six minutes long and the player kind of zooms around a bit, the game is absolutely beautiful in motion. Seeing it is starting to allay some of my concerns.
