I'd like that stuff a lot more if there were an option to turn off the "silly" stuff.

Mind you, I'd keep the silly stuff on all the time, but still.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Yeah, said toggle has existed for at least a year now?

It is a pleasant diversion from constantly being overthrown through plots and revolts, which is what I spend most of my time doing in CK2

Because you're not very good at it. :console:

Not everyone reloads as often as others do. :P

When my nobles dance on my corpse it just feels more meaningful that way :lol:

There's now also a "no absurd events" toggle.  It's not made clear which events are considered supernatural and which are absurd.

All supernatural are absurd, but not all absurd are supernatural!

Not really.  A lot of the "supernatural" events can be interpreted as natural events that medieval people would mistakenly see as supernatural, like the crack in the earth event chain.  Some of them, though, like becoming immortal, you can't really interpret as mundane.

The absurd events are the ones like where you are replaced by a bear disguised as you.

I recently got Horse Lords (I know, way behind the times) and started my first playthrough as Genghiz Khan.

So um.... am I wrong or is this your sole objective as the Mongols: KILL.  :contract:

In my experience you can over-stretch yourself if you get a little too excited about mass murder so you might want to be more strategic than that. But what do I know? I suck at this game. Ask Tim :P

Like my go-to nation is Viking Jorvik and while you do a lot of killing as the Great Heathen Army, you are also supposed to, you know, govern and stuff.

It seems like the Mongols just slaughter everyone, cow kings into submission, and then go someplace else and rinse and repeat.

Which... I guess is what happened IRL? :hmm:

So I've had this game for years, but never played it. Not sure why. But anyway ... trying to get into it now.

Should I get all, none, some DLCs?

Some are more interesting than others.  I would say depends on what kind of deal or sale you can get on them.  There's nothing wrong with starting out with just the base game.
