Crusader Kings 2 Redux

[Tamas]

 

Tuesday 9AM CET if they keep to their usual schedule.

Or maybe the Islam DLC came out on a Wednesday? 

[Fireblade]

Well, Paradox didn't release their patch notes today. I guess I'll have to begin masturbating at work tomorrow.

[Martinus]

It's out! And I'm at work...

[Tamas]

The patch isn't out yet. Maybe they are waiting for the Steam release?

[Martinus]

Do you need the patch to play the DLC? Or does the DLC also include the patch?

Either way, I'm completely switched to gamersgate now (had to repurchase the previous content I got from Steam but it's not that expensive) and pretty happy about it.

There are five new DLCs on Gamersgate right now. Besides the Legacy of Rome, there is a Byzantine music one, a Byzantine units one, an African portraits one and a one with new dynastic shields.

I gotta say I like Paradox's approach to things - if you buy all new stuff (which I am going to do), it adds up to 13 euro which is a decent price for a new expansion pack. But you are also free to pick and choose stuff you like.

By the way, I hope they change the graphics of blinded people to an eye-band/patch as these gaping eye sockets look creepy.

[Tamas]

some of the stuff:

- Faction System
- Characters can have both a Plot and an Ambition
- Retinue System support for the Legacy of Rome DLC
- Orthodox and related religions have Autocephalous Patriarchs and the Pentarchy
- Rebalanced Combat, with more focus on leaders and their traits. More leader traits.
- Liege levies. You only raise levies from your direct vassals, and they are not directly connected to Holdings.
- A number of self improvement Ambitions for characters
- New religions: Miaphysite, Nestorian, Monothelite
- Two new Bookmarks: The Alexiad and The Latin Empire
- AI: Improved military AI
- Made the Seljuks pre-mobilized in 1066, like the English contenders
- Added "Foreign Conqueror" opinion modifier
-Crushing a major revolt now gives all direct vassal rulers a +25 opinion modifier of you for 10 years
-When you White Peace revolters, they now get a 'Spared after Rebellion' opinion modifier of you, +25 for 10 years
- AI: Vassals will no longer spontaneously declare war on their liege to depose him or take a title off him (these things are now faction based.) The only time they might declare war on their own is to create a succession crisis.

I'll buy Crusader Kings and it's expansions next month.

In my opinion it's the best game Paradox has ever made.

Fun, lots of content and a map that not only doesn't suck but is actually pretty.

[Martinus]

- The liege is now imprisoned when losing his or her primary title in a claimant war
- The loser in an invasion CB is now imprisoned by the winner if he becomes a vassal of the winner

Fun. 

[Martinus]

- Crushing a major revolt now gives all direct vassal rulers a +25 opinion modifier of you for 10 years
- When you White Peace revolters, they now get a 'Spared after Rebellion' opinion modifier of you, +25 for 10 years

No more whackamole.

What comes in the dlc that I wouldn't get in the free patch?

[garbon]

What comes in the dlc that I wouldn't get in the free patch?

The alt-history Byzantine stuff.

[Octavian]

What comes in the dlc that I wouldn't get in the free patch?

The alt-history Byzantine stuff.

Plus the new retinue system
