Any sign of moving away from the paint the map pink that is the paradox norm?

A big issue with CK was the break with realism in a Swedish duke inheriting Norfolk...and suddenly Norfolk is part of Sweden. It should be possible to have titles within different kingdoms.

It's hard to gamify feudalism accurately. Games have rules and real life didn't. William the conqueror gave England to his brother and Normandy to his son for example.

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

William the Conqueror did not have any brothers. William Rufus was his son, he was just a younger son than Robert Curthose who became Duke of Normandy.

William indeed has brothers (half brothers): Odo of Bayeux and Robert of Mortain. But neither of them inherited England or Normandy.

Right. I was thinking there were no other sons of his father who would stand to inherit Normandy, not other sons of his mother. Though yeah those guys were still his brothers.

Give whatever title to whoever you want but suffer actual consequences of massive penalties to chivalry, nobility led revolt risks, etc....

I can't shake the feeling that every diary seems to describe less of a 'history game' and more of an RPG with a political map.

Yeah the character leveling thing I am really uncertain about. I'd prefer having to live with random shit like in CK2.

Of course, in CK2 once you have learned the system you can game around almost every negative effect of that randomisation, but still .


garbon

And I guess then you are doing character leveling for every single ruler.

Yeah but CK2 went far enough I think from accurately modeling history, no need to go further. I mean we already have kingdoms being made stronger because the king got a dog :P

Ridiculous.  A kingdom for a horse, sure, but a dog?

My views remain unchanged. That the only way forward for paradox games is to lessen the power of the map. With the map lying as the only interface the games inevitably become paint the world pink affairs even if that completely isn't what CK is meant to be about
