Crusader Kings 2 Redux

[garbon]

beta patch is out.

[Habbaku]

- Muslim Jihads no longer possible before 1187

That seems like a big deal.

Yes, though I'm not sure why they didn't do what CK2+ did

- Jihads now once again work like Crusades, but with two differences: The AI is sharply limited in where it will call a Jihad (preferring using them against neighbours or as a countermeasure against Crusader states) and the top contributor will always hold on to the lands taken in a Jihad, rather than creating a new independent state.

[Martinus]

BEST. BUG. EVER.

- William the Conquerer no longer set as mother of three Breton characters

[Queequeg]

What do you do?

I will say the Byzantine music is wonderful.

What's it like?  Choral?  I've never listened to any of the CK2 soundtrack.

[Ed Anger]

All Shitgoat.

[MadBurgerMaker]

All Shitgoat.

[Fate]

I don't know why people complain about the factions system, I can manage it fine. And I play with France, with super-vassals that could destroy me and take my crown any time they want.

I think they just have the wrong implementation. Instead of making Independence the most common eventuality of the faction system, it should be a civil war to institute a new ruling family. Let's say half your empire joins the Indepenedence faction. If they win now there are a ton of independent duchies/counties. It just doesn't seem to make sense. The AI should try to form a contiguous splinter kingdom instead of turning the map into a balkanized mess.

[Martinus]

In my experience, Independence is the rarest form of Faction (and definitely the least popular among hangers-on).

When I played as France, lowering the Crown Authority and changing succession law seemed to be the big two. And when the King actually pissed off the entire realm by getting himself Excommunicated, the Dukes ran a succesful civil war to replace him with another claimant.

[Zanza]

In my experience, Independence is the rarest form of Faction (and definitely the least popular among hangers-on).

If you play in the HRE, the Burgundian and Italian parts will immediately form an independence faction every game.

[Fate]

Independence is the only faction that seems to trigger for me when playing as the Byzantines. Especially with those guys you'd figure the dominant faction should push for regime change rather than independence.

[Alcibiades]

Are friends and rivals gone?  don't seem to have the events and its not on my character screens, am I missing it?

CK2 doesn't have those.  It added a lover option but you can only see who someone's lover is via tooltips.

[Alcibiades]

Guess I played the ole one too much.   

[garbon]

There might be a few events that speak about a bitter enemy or something but as far as I know there isn't any real system for it.  That Game of Thrones mod added rivals and added a decision you can click on in plots window to see your rivals.
