Crusader Kings 2 Redux

Orange juice is the only truly acceptable breakfast drink.

Nice cold glass of milk!

Also a good choice.

Around here "voir dire" often rhymes with "four tire."

So when I try and download the gamersgate installer, it seems to hang up on "Launching Crusader Kings II installer..."

I am considering implementing a HRE fix of some sort for my next game.

I see repeated breakaway attempts from it. Hell, one of the times Savoy held more territory of the HRE than itself in a war of independence, while Tuscany, an Austrian duchy, and a few others also simultaneously tried to break away, but it just doesnt work.

I assume you can't really force peace with the emperor when it considers to have all those other land under his control, and you just can't keep up with 10k stacks of doom.

Supposedly, crown authority could be locked down for the HRE, so at least in time a vassal or two could grow strong enough in internal wars to break the whole thing apart.

Why? After all the HRE never disintegrated in real life.

Nevermind - installer just took its sweet time...

But does the game represent it as being far more cohesive and effective than it really was?

Damn Doukas cunt converted the heir to the Croatian kingdom to her barbarous religion. Which I discovered when he became king. FUCK.

I was crusading with my kinsman Polish king too. The Alliance is broken.

What am I supposed to do about the "wrong government" modifier, again?

[FunkMonk]

Pro tip: make sure you have as few children as possible. God damn kingdom heirs.

Ok no probl-

*Sicily marries HRE princess*
*sires twenty kids*

[Josquius]

When is the first patch due anyway?

The trouble with this game, indeed any game, is it runs on strictly defined laws and rules.
Real life...isn't so neat. So much stuff being de facto and de jure to varying degrees, so much fudging laws and unwritten laws and other stuff

When I got a pagan county , I gave the city and church to vassals. That ended that wrong gub'mint crap.

Make sure your firewall isn't blocking it.

Well, fuck.

The new Queen of Sicily and her uncle, the Duke of Apulia, have a son. Unfortunately, he is inbred. But he's a strong inbred.

That's right: The Normans in Sicily will be led by someone with retard strength.
