Crusader Kings III

[jimmy olsen]

Will the AI reform the Roman Empire on its own? I've made it my mission to restore the  Empire without ever becoming Emperor and territory wise, the Empire is not far off.

EDIT: What about mending the schism?

Playing as some Muslim Sultan. About 150 years in, I start to get annoyed that just about every character in my court is gay. I check and for some reason I ticked the homosexual box in the game setup. Oh well. It makes a lot less difference than I thought. Everyone is still reproducing like an Irish family.

[Valmy]

You can click a box that makes everybody homosexual?

You can click a box that makes everybody homosexual?

Yes, also known as Martinus Mode.

Feet fail me not.

[Josephus]

Yes there's an option that makes homosexuality the more common trait in the game.

Now not getting its first real expansion until 2022. I wonder what is going on there - as CK3 really feeling like an orphaned child.

Yeah I don't care much for this expansion but what worries me is it's such a hard labour for something what looks like a moderate sized DLC. Figures that the only game I buy the season pass for ends up not having any meaningful expansions ever.

This is a big shame because vanilla CK3 is a big improvement over vanilla CK2 but I am not sure how long before it gets Imperator-ed this way.

[garbon]

Yes, it feels like they are letting the player base just attrition away from lack of attention. Not that one should want endless dlc in a game but this seems like a huge swing in the other direction.

Granted it will need to see a lot more attrition to be anything like Imperator.

Same boat as you.  I wonder if the number of us who did purchase the season pass is a factor in lack of production - ie is there a lack of economic incentive to pour resources into something that has already been paid for.

[Josephus]

I guess they also know that if they put out a DLC that is buggy or feels incomplete, it could really ruin their standing after some of the recent EU4 fiascos.

I didn't buy the season pass, but I think I got a deluxe edition with one or two XPs included. So yeah this is annoying.

I just returned to the game after taking a couple months off and yeah, it feels very empty. Lots of rinse, lather repeat. Needs some oomph and soon.

Going back to Garbon's point....by early 2022, isn't VIC III also supposed to be released? They may indeed be hoping for a player attrition. Who knows.

[Josquius]

Am I remembering right that CK3 was a new engine?
Wonder if they fucked up how easy it would be to alter

[Habbaku]

No, CK3 is still on the old Clausewitz engine, albeit with some upgrades.

[Solmyr]

Meanwhile, EU4 is getting yet another DLC.
