CKII is released.

[Alienman]

Since a Chinese company owns a bit of Paradox now...

 

[Barbarian]

ITT, self-hating swedish cucks keep adding crap to the game while abandoning the core because muh evil white european christians and muh diversity.

 

[Barbarian]

After The Reaper's Due, another two (or even three) expansions are planned before the development stops. "There are still some blanks in the Old World; rulers you cannot play and regions not yet covered..."

What did you guys expect. They need more diversity. They are swedes and they won't be satisfied until you can play african pigmy tribes and european feudalism and crusades become the most outdated and unimportant parts of the game.

 

[Irenaeus]

Nuke Paradox.

Nuke Paradox.

They will nuke themselves eventually.

Almost certainly can't happen. It would require barons to have their own courts and stuff, so you're looking at tripling the amount of characters being simulated or more.

Playable Theocracies are almost certainly in the pipeline somewhere. It's been a popular demand for a long time. Before or after China. China IS very likely to happen, one of the lead devs (Johan?) said that the only obstacle was performance issues.

This game is terribly optimized holy shit.

It will only get worse. I mean, it has just been confirme that we will be getting cats, physicians and whatever the fuck else. They keep filling the game with unnecessary crap, yet they should be working at the core. Improve combate and diplomacy you dumbfucks. We dont need cats.

 

[Anthedon]

They are only doing a couple more DLC. I doubt they'll tackle something as huge as China in any of them.

Yea this is pretty goddamn ridiculous. My pc is more than capable of handling this game, but it chugs along and stutters like crazy. Tried disabling trees, city sprawl, etc in the settings.txt but it didn't make any difference. Might have to give up on this game for now and go back to EU4 because it's unplayable like this. Have to pause the game to do anything unless I want to deal with 15fps. It's a shame because I was really enjoying the character interactions and stuff but anytime I have to move the camera the game turns into a slideshow.

 

[vonAchdorf]

Maybe they'll make a Rot3K game with the engine, I doubt that they'll pull off a major expansion anymore - I think they have like 1 or 2 people working on the game.

 

[Barbarian]

The problem is less adding new stuff, and more adding new stuff without proper thought, performance compensations and bug-fixes. How long it took for Pdox to fix the "Crusader Cucks" problem?

As far as I know they never fixed it. Haven't played the game in a long time though.

As for expanding the scope of the game, they blew it. It is as they say, sometimes you can choose to do one thing right or choose to try many things at once and achieve nothing. The game was fine as a grand strategy game set during the crusades era. They could have made it a great game by investing and focusing on that. They didn't and now look at it. What a fucking mess.

I think the game could be good again with heavy modding some years from now. I have no hope of the devs achieving something concrete before the development cycle ends. If anything they will keep adding gimmicks and sjw bullshit.

The team is actually bigger now than it's ever been. They said they've got a huge expansion planned, and I think a smaller one as well.

They have huge expansion planned? I won't believe it until I read it stright from devs.

It was a comment a developer left in some dev diary weeks ago, I'm not going to go digging through them all to find it.

 

[vonAchdorf]

Ok, my latest information was from over 1 year ago or so when they had a change in the project lead and they said the team was really small now. Mainly the lead and another guy iirc.

 

[vmar]

Johan or someone else has been quoted as not liking the Crusader Kings name anymore.

Was this the quote you were talking about?

"The game is not primarily about the Crusades at all and I have never been happy with the name “Crusader Kings”, but it is far too late to rebrand it now."

Seems contradictory, because I was under the impression that the original game was based solely around the Crusades and you could only play as the Christians, just like you said. The sjw's strike again.

I managed to get the game running a little better, first tried using the Flat Map and No India mods, then the game started crashing and my save got corrupted, so I just turned a bunch of stuff off in the settings.txt, it's at least playable now on my new game. I'm only ~100 years in so we'll see as time goes on.

 

[Commissar Draco]

Game is still worth it for mods but yes at this rate they wont make it half as polished and well designed as original CK1 were. Put your house cats and womlib where the sun doesn't shine and give us theocracies like knightly orders playable before you got enriched svenska cucks.

The first game isn't really based around the Crusades, though. It's just that every once in a while, the Pope calls a crusade to some place or another, and you can basically ignore it. If you're a bit more prominent, you lose some piety. If the target province is conquered, then it can still take years before the crusade actually ends. Crusades don't really provide anything in CK1 except roleplaying.

MEDIEVAL KINGS II

[vonAchdorf]

He moved on to romance of the three kingdoms now. He is azn after all.

 

[Makabb]

Not playing this travesty anymore.....cats....wtf..... good that atleast next DLC for EU4 is looking decent and they got their priorities straight there yet, ck2 is dead to me

 

[sser]

Surely they're not adding China. I have a pretty decent computer and this game still runs like shit because of all the India crap that is nothing more than a resource anchor. Went from alright to garbage thanks to an entire area of the game I never play in and virtually never interact with and can't remove without breaking shit. China seems like it'd be 10x worse. The only times I load up CK2 now is to dabble in whatever major mods there are (like GoT or the Japanese one). The amount of feature creep and meaningless content glut is just getting out of hand. Also, I'd straight up buy a CK2-styled game *focused* on China, but more DLC to CK2 is just bonkers.
