Crusader Kings 2 Redux

[Razgovory]

Eh, I'm not particularly concerned about the interaction ranges.  It's a necessary cheat for the game to work.  Realistically, people only had a vague idea where countries were.  When the game starts I doubt most Irish chieftains even knew that Norway existed. I doubt even the King of France had a clear idea of the geography of France.

Maybe TI doesn't work with exploration?
Just...as you get relationships with countries neighbouring the TI it steadily uncovers, build trade routes towards the TI it uncovers, massive empire forms under the TI there's a chance it uncovers.

Given that Irish were being raided by the Norse at the time, I'm pretty sure they knew that Norway existed.

I started a game as Byzantium again.
It is still just too easy.
So your vassals get pissed off and rebel?
Who cares. You can afford to throw a tonne of mercenaries at them to throw them all in jail pretty quickly.

The only stalling point is that wars are so restricted in what you can take at once and I don't want such huge bad boy that the entire world DOWs me. So have to go slow

I'm fine with secret societies, cults, and such... it adds to the flavor. But they seem to be making them too powerful and effective in this DLC.

I mind as I'd rather they add flavour that is interesting for the period (more event chains, more interactions between characters) than add mechanics with new menus that are primarily fantasy based but I know people seem to love some of this fantastic shit and will lap it up.

Yeah, I'm with you. It seems pretty lame.

Forgot to turn off sunset invasions after tooling around with a mod. Had the Aztecs show up in 810 or so and take a huge chunk out of the Umayyads (and the Abbasids already self destructed too).

Seems like they still have about 140,000 event troops around. I suppose I can whittle them down over time since it'll be a while before they get to me... still the whole thing seems tedious.

That's the only CK2 game mechanics DLC (as opposed to graphical or musical DLCs) that I never bought.

[Josquius]

The aztecs usually show up at a point where I've already screwed up the world quite a lot,  so I just read them as a native West European insane pagan uprising.

I got Sunset Invasion in a DLC pack and I have never turned it on.

[Syt]

The only reason to switch it on is if you play in Western Europe but don't want to miss out on a Mongol Invasion kind of event.

[Razgovory]

They are useful for that apocalyptic North America Mod.

It is the only DLC pack I did not get.

Didn't get it or Reaper's Due.  Probably won't get the upcoming Monks and Mystics one, either.

Yeah, I used to snap up the CK2 DLC but now clear the are just coming up with dregs.

Got it as part of a bundle when I bought the game for the first time.
