I’m aware of the history here, but the point is that Parthia is not on the map, and I don’t expect nomads to be playable on release. Maybe there’ll be a Dahae or Parni tag and “Parthia” will be easily formable by the player (although you’d need very favorable conditions obv) or maybe they’ll even have mechanics in place that’ll make AI Parthia pop up in most games. However, this is exactly why I prefer to have later start dates to play around with.

But I hope you’re right and this will be a non-issue.

The map is not yet finished. They could easily be on the map at release.

There is no way they filled every corner of Gual with obscure tribes and are leaving the interior of Hispania blank despite it being ruled by famous well known tribes.

So for the goons that were able to go to PDXCon this year: was going to the event itself worth it? Someone (Ofaloaf?) had mentioned before that they kinda ran out of things to do my mid-afternoon on Saturday. Did Sunday's events/panels/etc. and the party thing make up for it?
For me, Saturday afternoon was a bit of a lull too, because I wasn't super interested in the panels that were running then, Sunday was great though, so overall a good experience again. Meeting up and drinking with goons was also a Iot of fun.

Also there’s a village of crazies somewhere in Armorica, surrounded by the camps of Laudanum, Totorum and Compendium.

PDXCON was really great, though if you're not going with a group of people it could get boring since not 100% of the panels may be on things that interest you. I think 2 days was perfect, any more than that would have been a little too much. Also Stockholm is pretty great, although the weather has been perfect which is not normally the case from what I understand.

if this isn't in the game I'm going to be pissed (though you're mistaken: the 4 camps are Petibonum, Laudanum, Babaorum and Aquarium)

If it's anything like here in Denmark, they've had more great weather in may alone than they usually get over an entire summer.

They also mention there's only gonna be one start date, which makes sense I suppose given how many times they've mentioned that like 99.9% of all games are only ever from the earliest one. I hope we'll see some DLC extending it though like there is in CK2.

I think the Old Gods start in CK2 is generally superior to the Charlemagne start.

Agreed. 1066 remains quite good as well.

Be brave.



CK2 is unique among Paradox games in that there are multiple starts worth trying. Old Gods and 1066 are the best, but 1081 is also good for certain areas. The Charlemagne start is alright too.

You play an unfinished, buggy, unfun version of the game and are expected to submit bug reports and poo poo.

So really not all that different from the standard "play a Paradox game within a year or two of its release" experience.
