I'm hoping that they added the mod support for more eras because they wanted to add more of their own, but knowing Paradox, they might just add even later, blobbier ones. Yeah, I have that problem with the later start dates too. I wish the TTG would get updated or something, I liked the randomised setups.

I dunno so far the later blobs seem weaker and less stable. The Seljuk's don't seem to have nearly the staying power of the Abbasids, and the Byzantines often start falling apart around the Alexiad start date. But I haven't played these dates as much as the earlier ones so maybe I've just gotten lucky.

The Abassid isn't stable at all in CM anymore. It implodes almost immediately. I've never seen the Byzantines collapse though.

In all my time playing the game, I've never actually seen the Byzantines implode of their own accord like the Abbasids or Charlemagne's realm do. If they do collapse, it's always because of a foreign invader tearing poo poo up in Anatolia.

I dunno where this fucker got 13k event troops from but it's making it really hard to conquer Cyrodiil when he owns half the place thanks to that. Maybe they'll go away when he dies.

But in my last game something unusual happened: the empire itself was seized by a mongol sunni khan from Khasaria (how come? Its a mystery). It had the effect of triggering a crusade for Greece, which was won by Frisia. The rest of the empire then was easily conquered by its neighbors.

Alexiad is the secret best starting date, only problem is the lack of Norse pagans if that's your thing.

I've just started playing this and I'm having fun but I don't feel as involved as I did in CK1. I'm playing as Mumu and having a bitch of a time getting new claims to press, either by fabrication or marriage. Meanwhile my vassals seem pretty content to chill and not cause much of a fuss besides the odd heretic bishop and the simplified technology/building mechanics mean there's not much to do while I wait for things to happen. Am I doing something wrong?

I definitively miss becoming friends or rivals with neighboring rulers, hunting with your buddies, having/sending children away as wards and all the more personal events that would make things more immersive from CK1. CK2 i feel should be even more about playing as a person, and not so much a political unit. Way of Life helped a bit.

Do you have the Way of Life expo? It brings in a bunch of events like that. I haven't played CK1 though, so I can't say how much it compares.

Although really I want them to make a new game that's all politics with no war or map painting, maybe set in a single city or something, and have a lot of emphasis on character interaction and strategy evolving from that.

Volkerball posted:The Abassid isn't stable at all in CM anymore. It implodes almost immediately. I've never seen the Byzantines collapse though. A funny thing happened with the Abassid from my 867 Viking start (with CM included, but maybe it's the earliest start date that somehow does this?)...they seemed to be doing kinda badly when the Seljuks popped up and started pressing them, and some fractures happened, but then they figured to just start gulping up Byzantine kingdoms, one huge gulp at a time. I will admit, tho, that my Viking raiding parties sacking Constantinople and trashing their armies may have had a hand in that, but yea...in the end Abassids were pretty solid strong with Greece + Anatolia + Egypt, while Seljuks went to beat on the Steppe people. Tho funnily enough, after the Orthodox got the poo poo beat out of them but good, the Catholics actually called a Crusade on Greece and the entire kingdom was awarded to the loving Teutonic Knights Order. So yea...Byzantines can die...and Abassids can survive I guess was the point of me typing all this. CrazyLoon fucked around with this message at 14:08 on Nov 5, 2015 |

A lot of crazy stuff can happen, especially now the game is so complex. An example: Steppe nomads have a chance switch religions when they're hired by different religion rulers. If one switches to Catholicism from Judaism, inherits the Khaganate, then joins the Crusade for Jerusalem, wins, promptly croaks, handing the Khaganate over to the other, still Jewish brother, you can get the quite frankly bizarre situation of the Kingdom of Israel, full of Christian Lords, led by a Jewish Kazar. Oh, and in that game I found out that the Papacy can be a valid prepared invasion kingdom. Yeah. To bad his kid then promptly invaded Aquitane, robbing me of all my lands. Alas.

So apparently if you join a faction for independence, it can intimidate your leige into transferring a bunch of vassals under your control? Also I've finally figured out what county capitals are.

Well, yeah, but since the point of it is to have a way to not constantly have to go "here's hotfix 1 and here's hotfix 2 and here's hotfix 3" and instead just being able to say "if you have bugs, it'll either be fixed in the version from the GitHub or we haven't fixed it yet", not being able to post the link is still kind of a problem.

Well, this turn of events is mildly upsetting. We've been sharing a Github link ever since Sam made the first thread more than a year ago now, and no-one's ever warned us this was a no-no and made Github explicitly verboten before now.

Then this lack of their communication is something Paradox could really work on. I mean look, I don't mind them doing this to give pirates an extra incentive in convenience. Hell, lots of savvy game companies are doing this and I can't really blame them too much for it. But if you're gonna take such a measure, then make sure you post a very clear and visible announcement in the forum/community rules section, that explains why this in particular is a no-no on their official channels. Given your reaction (and since I don't particularly bother with Paradox forums myself), I assume no such thing currently exists and in the end legit modders just wind up finding out about it like you did.

I get the anti-piracy measure-- pretty much the moment I saw that all the mods were on the official forums that you have to register to get access to, I went "oh! duh!", I just don't see Github being a violation of that. Sure, Googling After the End will spit out the Github link as one of the results, but that'll happen with any mod. Otherwise you'd have to go on the official forums to get any info on it, and accessing Github from there's functionally the same as clicking on any other link to go to external hosting, isn't it?

BravestOfTheLamps posted:No Nomad mechanics from Horse Lords Apparently they did that to make sure the Dothraki didn't require HL to play (which is weird because how does vanilla handle that case where certain titles are in the history files as nomadic but the player doesn't own HL?) That said if the Dothraki had vanilla nomad mechanics they'd overrun Essos in short order so maybe this is for the best!
