You guys remember that dreadful Sengoku game?

Turns out getting the map into CK2 wasn't that difficult.



Making it playable however could be tricky.

You know, I think I might be getting somewhere.



No, it's not playable because there's no baronies defined.

Well, it looks like you've got your work cut out for you!

Maybe you could find some sufficiently :japan: history goons to help you with finding some of the names for defining baronies?

TBH I was planning to do just City/Castle/Temple of [province name].

Also, I find that Text Mechanic is really helpful for doing long lists of things, like for localizations.csv and such.

Interesting tool that, but browser based, I don't know. I was doing alright with notepad++ (regexp), google, and batch files so far.


Fun fact: Sengoku has 912 characters defined, but only 10 are women.

Historical French policy is very simple, based on two pillars:

1) gently caress the English
2) gently caress the Holy Roman Empire/Hapsburgs

Have the mechanic that you can't attack the vassal directly, but have to go through the master first and demand the province in the peace deal.

While CAS is good early, when you're only fighting in Western and Central Europe, the moment you get into Russia the short range is going to be a pain in the rear end.

I suggest building tactical bombers instead.

The most exciting thing about The Old Gods for me is the 867 start date. That suddenly makes CK2 the longest paradox game timeline-wise, at almost 600 years.

I'd imagine if the Soviets would have established a firm grip on the Middle East, avoided invasions of, say, Afghanistan, and didn't pour money out of the civilian sector into the military one they could have very easily avoided a collapse if not eventually emerged as the victors of the Cold War.

They spent up to 40% of GDP on their loving military to keep up with the USA while completely mismanaging the civilian sector. There's absolutely no way to avoid collapse.

Paris is probably the best example of this, going straight from medieval alleys to the modern Parisian boulevard in places.

Paris is an unusual example because they redid the whole city so
1) Parisians can't put up stockades in the narrow streets
2) disconnect the most unruly districts from each other
3) allow the army to move quickly around.

The gently caress is up with this game?
