Crusader Kings 2 Redux

[Tamas]

Next DLC: Republics

It will be about gathering gold and stuff.

It sounds somewhat good, altough seeing money pile up gets super boring super fast even with nobles.

[Martinus]

I love that you still play a dynasty, only it is not game over if you lose elections, as you have mercantile family holdings to hold to when not holding any titles. I postulated this few months ago as a way to implement republics without destroying the spirit of CK 2.

[Martinus]

This is CK 2 meets Machiavelli. Im orgasmic. This is the first DLC I may actually play as intended (wasnt too keen on Muslims or Byzantines).

In Machiavelli you had to work for your income. Here, as far as I can tell from presently available information, you sit and wait until you have enough money collected to build an other trading post in an other coastal province somewhere, then repeat ad infinitum. Hardly a trading game like Machiavelli.

[Queequeg]

Shit yeah. Hope it expands to the early 1500s to get some good Italian warfare.

And you don't have to buy cardinals and kill off popes, either.

I've been wanting this expansion since the game came out. Looks good so far.

Nah, cause then you have to expand the map for colonization.

You could probably get up to 1500.  Guns and whatnot.  It'd be neat.

Finally tried the Rome DLC. My usual pokemon prince breeding programs? Doesn't work with greeks wanting thrones.

1453 is already pushing it.  The Portuguese were already doing major trading around Africa, and as you noted in this thread the Muslims were getting a lot of cash out of India.

[Solmyr]

They are kinda making EU4 soon, so I doubt they'll add the same period to CK2.

[Razgovory]

Setting an earlier date would seem more doable.  Still you'd have to figure out how to discover and colonize Iceland.  Setting it back during the fall of Carolingian Empire and the Viking Age would be neat though.  Shit was pretty wild then.

[Ed Anger]

Just chop Iceland off. Who cares about them?

This thread shows why Languish is post-grad high ed and Paradox is elementary school when it comes to trolling:

A guy starts an obvious troll thread saying that before implementing Republics Paradox should implement playable baronies. People take the bait. I then congratulate the guy on making a good troll - and get a warning from a moderator. The thread goes for another 7 pages, then the thread originator and I laugh together at the moderator and the rest of the people who took the bait.
