CK is also not particularly noted for being all that concerned with cultural accuracy either. It keeps things simple on that front since all in all it didn't matter much what culture the peasants on the land you held were.

Eiba posted:Take over Georgia. Experience centuries of intractable religious conflict. Eventually get to the point where the only way to survive as a country is to be tolerant of other religions. Go on to become a liberal beacon of peace and tolerance for all the world to look up to, where Christians and Muslims live together in peace and brotherhood.

While this probably won't be an issue for Wiz come Vicky 2, I just thought I would mention that Vicky 2's military scoring system is complete bullshit. Unless you have an enormous population or it's late game, almost all of your Military Score will come from leaders and that makes westernizing a virtual coin flip

Pakled posted:CK doesn't have any historical characters that are set to appear at a particular time aside from those who exist at the beginning of a campaign. The deterministic nature of the game makes scenarios even remotely similar to history go out the window within 20 years of starting a campaign. If you start the game in 1066, for example, it wouldn't make sense for Richard the Lionheart to suddenly come into being a century later since the moment the player takes control in 1066 all sorts of stuff could happen that would prevent Eleanor of Aquitaine or Henry II from even existing, much less getting married and having a son.

thark posted:I found it to have the same issue as all Paradox games: The initial hump can be a real bitch--especially if you start as a smallish power--but once you get to a point of real power, you're more or less an invincible juggernaut and from there on it's just a matter of how much you can bother to conquer before you're bored. In CK, especially if you start as an OPM (ie count), that hump can be even bitchier than some of the others, and low-stat rulers or other randomness can put a temporary halt on your progress, but not really halt it permanently if you halfway know what you're doing. #superpowerproblems

A scenario randomizer would be more ideal if we had had a full Vanilla EU3 LP.

Pakled posted:What I'd really like to see is someone play with the EU3 random map generator set to randomize only the new world. Especially if they don't tell the audience that until they actually discover the new world. Unfortunately, it doesn't work with DW. Of course, I am usually a Eurocentric player when I do EU3 and I totally ignore the New World.

Patter Song posted:Well, the big question regarding our immediate neighborhood is whether Timur the Lame (Tamerlane) existed in our alt-history or not. Since it's 1400 and Timur's not in sight, it'd be kind of silly to have him appear right at the end of his life, so I'm going to assume that this is a no-Tamerlane alt-history. (By 1400 IRL he'd already conquered Persia, sent us Azeris into Egyptian Exile, and was fighting the Turks for control of Anatolia).

Cardinal Ximenez posted:The European Age of Discovery was largely driven by the Ottomans' blockade of the Middle East; considering the fractured nature of the Muslim world and a powerful Italy, there may be less of an impulse to go out exploring for everyone. If the pope is forced out of Rome he relocates to a Catholic Theocracy It is possible for one to conquer the pope an then become the pope.

1) Did Timur die during his first military campaign? No 2) Did Zabulistan successfully resist the Ghaznavid invasion? Yes 3) Did the Mongol invasion of Japan succeed in reaching the island? No 4) Did the Australian megafauna survive human migration into the continent? No 5) Did Sundiata Keita die in exile? Yes
