Yeah, they just forgot that Australia and New Zealand existed. That, or they actually started believing the "New Zealand doesn't exist" memes that started in EU4.

Just get Flight Simulator in the meantime and enjoy some fluffy clouds while you wait.

Not sure! It's possible some of the files don't have anything unlocked. The botstain file should have everything unlocked or be within 6 months of the last trade post going up try that one?

No dice. Maybe its set so you can't game it like that with other people's saves? Thanks though!

I played around a bit on my own and boy, did it remind me of how annoying some of the achievements in CK2 can be. I did the one where you start as the King of Serbia and have to build a saintly bloodline and then get a bunch of characters beatified. Just getting the saintly bloodline alone is a chore. Better hope your guy doesn't suddenly get mad and get Wroth right before he dies or you're completely disqualified, plus you also need a bunch of virtues and a crapton of piety. And then once you actually get the Sainthood you need to get descendants to be beatified which only fires at death (so once again you have to dodge all 7 deadly sins at old age) and it only has a 1/5 chance of hitting :negative: I played for around a hundred years and only had a single guy get beatified.

I don't think the little cosmetics are worth it for that kind of agony and I'm very glad the achievements in CK3 don't seem to be so RNG-heavy.

edit: hm, this guy has a guide and apparently you can get ~70 points from really gimmicky stuff.

So about the Australia situation, Paradox hasn't said anything definitive yet but there's a good chance it might be because of this: https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/F2005L01286




Looks like this really might take a while to resolve if they have to publish a separate version of the game without incest/sex events.

Yeah that is really worrying. Like if we have managed to pre order on steam potentially it’s not going to be out or it’ll be a censored version? It’s been so long since I’ve had to worry about this. I think I even said it wasn’t a big deal earlier in the thread. Idiot self

The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes, look for them behind words that have changed their meaning.
They said they would honour existing preorders but I guess that just means "if you've already ordered on Paradox or Steam you're fine", for other outlets it's up to the store?

I’m not sure they can. It’s a legal thing in Australia mandated by the federal government. If they haven’t submitted, or if it’s been refused classification they can’t just decide to release it.

It could also be the ability to turn Christianity into a nudist sex-cult where good christian kings preferentially marry their sisters. Still, if the morality police was panicking then they would say so; they're not shy. Australia is prone to moral panic, but I don't think their ratings board keeps game ratings secret and pretends they don't know about them.

Only 3 generations? That's amateur stuff.

On another note, I wonder when governments will come to realize that just because one might have spent 800 years marrying their sister-daughter in a game, doesn't mean they have any interest in doing so in reality. It's just a game, bro. I also flew into a hurricane in Flight Simulator, doesn't mean I would do that in real life.

If they're non-dynastic why do you want to free them? But that said, if you give them money they might be able to pay their own ransom, or if you switch to intrigue focus you might be able to use a targeted decision on them to scheme to free them from captivity. Who has them locked up, are they out of diplo range so it won't let you plot to kill them?

I think there are like fig leaves over genitalia but otherwise characters appear nude in the relevant contexts (nudists, certain events).

I've seen screenshots of the title history screen (pretty similar to the CK2 version just in the new UI style) but I can't turn them up now. If that's what you meant.

After banging my head against the wall at what I thought was the first challenge (but was actually the last challenge), I was able to get to 110 points and get all the cosmetic rewards in a single afternoon. Glad I can now dress up as Joan of Arc.

Most of the challenges are pretty fun and involve doing things you wouldn't normally do, so I enjoyed them as a last goodbye to CK2.

Hey, French people, I don’t want to turn your language into a filthy Germanic one, but slow down a bit when you talk.
