What overhaul mod do people recommend? CK2+, HIP, Project Monotheism? Everything seems kind of bloated and crazy. What works?

It is crazy to me that so many DLC have come out and it's still impossible for Russia to have Russia-style succession in the engine.

Anyone still play with the CK+ mod? How is it these days?

I like it. I still think it's dumb that their map gives Iceland four promises but whatever, it runs smooth and isn't as clunky as HIP. Plus there's lots of custom religions packaged in by default, along with the Year 1000 scenario and the cool Wiz-style Faction and Crusader Kingdom systems.

CK2Plus is good again. Disables Shattered Retreats by default & adds a lot of functionality and cool religions, plus the Year 1000 bookmark which owns.

Do they usually put the older CK2 stuff on sale whenever they release a new DLC? I kind of want to pick up Conclave but not sure I want to pay the current price tag for what it appears to add.

Yeah, definitely wait 10 days or so.

Mostly just standard mad gamer vote brigading. The education system is unquestionably better, it's just less easy to game the outcomes.

CK3 would be fine with just synthesising of all the many elements added by patches/DLCs and then focusing on adding depth to the existing game map. That's how Paradox sequels work.

e: Like some things missing from a game about the Medieval world:

Rota system for Slavs and ethno-cultural migration for Magyars and others would be great.

I do think that developing non-lovely systems to model population growth/decline and cultural evolution is key for any CK3. It'd help cut down on "ah, Bavaria is French because of the Karlings, again" moments, at least

I’m coming back into the game after being absent for a few DLC and god knows how many patches. Is CK2+ still the go-to mod these days? I always liked how it handled crusades and how it fleshed out being a vassal.

It's still better than HIP imo. So yes.

It's pretty old school but can be fun. Hopefully you got the expansion pack (Vae Victis) too because then you can play Wiz's mod (Reign of the Ancients) that makes it so much better.

Personally I've abandoned working on my Paradox mods because I can't be bothered to compatch them every six months so I'll be pleased when development sloooows down and I can work on a big project with confidence.

I think they're teasing an earlier start date for the next DLC, not Holy Fury. But I could be wrong!
