Crusader Kings 2 Redux

[Martinus]

Well, I managed to have a friend and a rival in CK2 - it gives you a huge bonus or malus, respectively, to your relationship with that person, which has practical consequences (having your friend as your vassal/ally/spymaster means he won't betray you).

It seems to me that events to give you that trigger especially for characters who share the same court but one of them is from somewhere else (e.g. a ward or a court official).

[The Brain]

Can two men be friends in CK2?

New DLC announced. You'll never guess what it is.

Crusader Kings II: Sunset Invasion
Prepare to defend all you hold dear against the Sunset Invasion!

It is the late 13th century and Europe is still reeling from the shock of the all-conquering Mongol Hordes. But, just as the lords of the West breathe a sigh of relief, another threat looms on the horizon; literally. Strange ships have been sighted all along the Atlantic coast, bearing symbols never before seen in the known world; winged serpents and grinning skulls. As the sun sets on the shores of Morocco, Portugal and Ireland, the largest fleet that has ever set sail approaches land, ready to invade in the name of bloodthirsty gods...
Description

For the first time ever, Paradox Development Studio is introducing a fantasy scenario in their strategy games with  the Crusader Kings II: Sunset Invasion DLC for the critically praised strategy/RPG Crusader Kings II. It is a fantasy scenario where the blood drenched Aztec Civilization arose early and spread like a virulent plague, learning of Europe from exploring Northmen. Prepare to defend all you hold dear against the Sunset Invasion!

Crusader Kings II explores one of the defining periods in world history in an experience crafted by Paradox Development Studio, masters of Grand Strategy. Medieval Europe is brought to life in this epic game of knights, schemes, and thrones.

So basically, it's a Timmay fantasy of "What if the Aztecs discovered Europe and colonized it instead of vice versa"?

[Ed Anger]

At least it is only 5 bucks.

We really, badly need a :facepalm: smiley

So wait...the Aztecs send ships across to the Old World where there armies can die of smallpox in France rather than in Central America?

If you can play the Aztecs, I might do a Jaron invades AAR.

Build jack in box 50 gold.

Uhm, no, the Europeans will succumb to Aztec diseases in this scenario.

[Martinus]

What the fuck. It sounds like an April Fool's fake announcement. Why not improve the Curia or something.

This is ridiculous on so many levels.  At least they could have made it the Chinese or something.  At least they actually had ships.
