CKII is released.

[Average Manatee]

It's definitely faster but its hard to tell whether its faster due to baseline optimizations or because the game is killing off characters faster (both literally by disease and by culling useless courtiers).

 

[not an artichoke]

There have always been frequent waves of "minor" diseases washing over the fair shores of Eurasia in CK2. Now we receive updates about them.

 

[The Brazilian Slaughter]

A mod about disease, death and destruction... who's the Lead of the DLC Team, Trash ?

I'm jelly as eff, wish I could be playing it, but no computador.

Eh, by the time I get one, CKII might be feature complete!

Dear RPG Codex,

My CK2 character is a homosexual dwarf, how can I go about breeding him?

Thanks

Create a noble dwarf family. Dwarfs ruling over human peasants.

Pass adoption laws. It's 2016!

Does the actual game have any form of active rape?

 

[Average Manatee]

Got mine, but unless I can figure out how to get Geheimnisnacht running on it (or someone else does, or they release a small update) I probably won't try it for a while (or maybe not, sometimes I play unmodded anyway to try out stuff).

According to the Geheimnisnact team the fix for the bug causing crashes in the mod wasn't included in the patch. No development in the meantime while we wait for Paradox to get their shit together.

The best kind, you kidnap Queens/Princesses for your sex dungeon and return to install your bastard sons to their rightful thrones.

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

And I'm not quite sure where to even start with if I'd try to hammer it together to get the current version of Gnacht working on 2.6.x, crashes real fast on start-up and error log is leaving me only confused.

Ho-ho-holy shit this DLC kills the shit out of everyone.

I think I'm falling in love with CK2 again after so many disappointing additions (The ability to disable DPs and Shattered Retreat without modding helps)

 

[Alienman]

Kills the shit out of everyone? Please explain

DLC is about epidemics and lots of sickness. It's actually pretty smooth move, you add content while making the game faster since the game keeps culling everybody, especially those useless courtiers.

Had half my King's family killed off including all of his heirs except for one girl by a smallpox epidemic.

 

[Alienman]

Sound interesting. Reluctant to give Paradox more money at the moment though.

 

[oscar]

'Testing' it out and seems like the first good DLC in years.

 

[IDtenT]

Completely different team involved. Old CKII guys have all moved over to Stellaris, I think.

 

[Makabb]

That would explain why Stellaris is shit.


Eu4 is still the best because Johan is developing on it and it shows.

You mean the guy who tries hard to balance the singleplayer game for multiplayer?

Yup, it shows alright.

I always close gates when an epidemics appears in the capital province. So far nobody died in my family but my waifu.

Having loads of fun with CK2 again, for the first time in a long while. Everything seems to be working well right off the bat. I'm only getting minor problems: dead courtiers ("vanished without a trace") appearing in my court occasionally, and the Pope launching a crusade on the easternmost kingdom in India when there are targets closer to Europe. Some people will argue that the mortality rate of epidemics is too high, but at least this throws another spanner in the player's works, preventing him from planning everything out, and always getting good rulers living into their 60s.

They added Theuderic, the son of the last Merovingian king, to the game and he's got a claim on Francia. I guess someone started a faction to back his claim and he deposed Charlemagne like 8 months into my first game. It was pretty cool.

 

[vonAchdorf]

Two surprising observations: The DLC is only 9.99 and not 14.99 like Conclave which didn't add much more and Steam reviews are at 98% shortly after release. Quite unexpected.

That helps, but it's not perfect and I've had plenty of events about people inside the gates showing symptoms and being asked to toss them out or not.

Also, sometimes you'll get food shortage events or guilt about abandoning the peasants.

I have one issue that came up, it's not so bad this game because I don't intend to DEUS VULT the holy land (Especially since Spain is all Muslim and a better target...) but some of the counties around Galilee are empty, gray spaces and the display is glitchy when I click on them, showing it being owned by someone who is long dead.

 

[Starwars]

My Lunatic character appointed a horse as Chancellor. Was funny. Of course, the fun wears off when it happens again...

Definitely enoying the game a lot. The optimization were real nice.

 

[Whisky]

Hah, I love getting an incompetent Physician.

My King had abdominal pains and diarrhea. The Physician said he had measles.

Eventually I'm given the choice to try an experimental treatment which I accept. He then saws my King's leg off.

I returned the favor shortly after.

 

[Whisky]

ITZ HAPPENING

 

[eric__s]

Oh no, my son died! Oh no, my backup heir died! Oh no, my dynasty is fucked!

This is awesome, probably the best expansion after the Old Gods. The game finally feels dangerous again. I can't lay out 200-year plans anymore because something always throws a wrench in them now. Plus, you can change a bunch of default settings to make the game harder. I decreased diplomatic range and made the Mongol invasions random, and probably some other stuff too. Too gatdam good.
