You should be spending your time differently tomorrow BB....

Which is why I was hoping it might open up at... I dunno, midnight EST or something.

Any explanation for that gates of hell thingy?

There is a gates of hell event

What is it about? The description isn't there. Its not a literal bit of fantasy surely?

The earth shook, the people screamed and buildings cracked. A cloud of foul-smelling air swept over the village, making torches and fires burn bright green for several hours. It took a couple of days repairing the cracked buildings and salvaging items from the few older houses that had collapsed, luckily everyone escaped unharmed. I slowly walked through the city, examining the buildings and noting what remained to be repaired when an excited peasant approached me. Without bothering with formalities, he told me about a giant crack in the ground just outside his farm. He wanted me to come and inspect it, and perhaps determine what to do about it.

I did see a syphilis(or whatever VD it was) outbreak in the demo. 4 or 5 courtiers had it.

Edit: Not an event. Just general ickyness.

There's an event. Character wonders about the weird rash they've acquired. My chaste king got it.

Well my game as the Duke of Anjou is nicely progressing but something must be done about the French AI attacking everything that moves without regard for internal cohesion, money or anything else.  Whenever there's a heretic, someone excommunicated, a moor infidel somewhere - the French King attacks them    There's French territory in Sardinia, Spain, North Africa - a jumble of duchies scattered all over the place with no respect for the internal power balance inside France...  Stupidity of the first order.  When I make my move and seize the realm for myself it will take generations to put order in this mess.

Another aggravating side effect of all this needless warfare is *my* vassals get grouchy very fast because the idiot King keeps calling them and keeping them in the field for years.  Once France had a stack of 8000 or so troop sitting idle in the middle of England... for months .  I had to log off and log back in as the King to disband them.

I had suggested years ago they should implement a 'sphere of influence' mechanism that would gradually override whatever primary urges the AI has to increase fame/attack infidels - the further you go from the core desmene...  Guess this wasn't put in effect in this new game

And why am i not surprised grallon is first to be bitching about a game.

[Valmy]

Hey Grallon remember to always put the AI on low aggressiveness presuming they still have such a thing.

Max' character is a dead ringer for Bruce Willis.

Apparently, they forgot to give the English King a claim on the French kingdom in the HYW scenario.

I played the demo and as usual with a Paradox game, I much prefer to read AARs then actually play the game.

Where do you guys start? I feel like there's nothing to do.

You spend game years building up funds to beat up on somebody.

[Valmy]

What do you mean nothing to do?  You mean besides run a medieval dynasty?
