I think decadence is too micro to really be fun. If decadence was cumulative across the whole faith, that, weighed by rank, started to decay moral authority and cause net unrest across the Muslim world. Instead of having straight up decadence revolts, have different strains/heresies jostle for moral hegemon. If anything, decadence should pose administrative issues, like factional activity and lowering vassal caps as your ruler becomes for pre-occupied with their wealth and power. This is a good way of breaking up caliphates and keeping the game fresh.

Larry Parrish posted:Yeah that's part of my biggest problem with decadence. Instead of the greatest enemy of Islamic Expansion being heretics trying to dumpster you, it's faceless not-Seljuks from nowhere. WTF. Yes, exactly. The ruin of caliphates should be internal divisions or apathy (leading to outside conquests). Managing decadence should be fun if you can make some calculated decisions on how to manage it. Investing in subject's holdings should buy you loyalty/moral authority is one route. Obviously this has diminishing returns if you have to invest in more and more subjects the bigger the empire, and the cost gets more and more prohibitive the longer the game, but if you have nomads coming in and raiding/taking over far corners of your empire then you begin the cycle of conquest > plunder > reconquest > investment until you can handle your enemies.

A couple more quality of life suggestions: When the heir ascends and is a different culture, holdings with cultural buildings start rebuilding to the same level of the different culture, gratis. Viking raids need to be supported by boat, or suffer crippling attrition. When defeated, viking raiders shattered retreat to their boats, and then their boats shattered retreat back to Trondheim.

Everyone who wants CK2 presumably has it by now, so Paradox should just be focused whatever resources they still have on it making DLC that will piss off their fanbases the most. Its not enough that say Sunset Invasion is optional, its the very fact that you spent time and brainpower on it at all gets these weirdos incensed. I can respect a company that alienates its worst customers out of principle. Bring on the zombie bears.

corn in the bible posted:But Sunset Invasion kinda sucks regardless of historic realism Sunset Invasion was Paradox dipping ones proverbial toe in the water and having it chomped off by nerds. Understandably they don't want to jump into any wacky themed DLC headfirst any more, but its a sad state. We could have wizard DLC or some kind of age of heroes Arthurian/Nibelung scenarios today if it were a happier universe. Though if it was skeleton DLC I imagine that would be bare bones as well.

EricBauman posted:Wait, that's the Indiana Jones scene they use as an example? Not the one with swastika banners all over Berlin and, you know, someone actually portraying Hitler? According to the censorship rules he used as an example, some German viewers may not recognise Hitler.
