Crusader Kings 2 Redux

[Grey Fox]

It's a french word, luddite.

Mad King James recently tried to suggest some changes but a quick poster threw in that p'dox had done research on the area and that this was a game.

Yes this is a game so I do not get why Ethiopia was so expanded if they are going to be no better than Nubia was in CK1.  I mean it is one thing to have one screwed realm in a bad position, but another to have a whole series of them.  There was no reason to expand it all the way south if it is just going to be a bunch of EU Grenada's.  I was sort of hoping I would be an ignored backwater.

Ah well.  I will try the Irish lords next and see how that goes.

[Fireblade]

Damn, I gotta say, this is probably the best game Paradox has ever made, or at least one I am most excited about.

It reminds me of my teenage years when I was reading Runciman and Huizinga. 

I'm tempted to dig out my Runciman books myself. 

[Grallon]

The AI seem capable of usurping titles while at war while I can't.  Not only must the target *not* be at war - but he can't be from within the kingdom either 

Oh and does anyone know which files contains the list of 'da iyure' desmene?  I dislike the current borders and want to fiddle with that.

Not telling until you use the correct spelling.

Sorry, I'm going to use Latin words in their correct spelling and pronounciation not some English butchery.

Just as "prima facie" is pronounced "pree-mah fah-ts-ye" and not "pr-ay-mah fey-sh-ye", and "mu" in "mutatis mutandis" is pronounced "moo", not "m-yu".

Yeah, exactly how would you know how they are pronounced?  Able to pick up spoken dialect from some statuary?  We know the formal way the letter were suppose to sound, but how they actually sounded isn't known.  It likely varied from place to place or even across social classes.  Everyone would have some accent.

"luddite", is a word in French?

[Valmy]

Are we really going to spend this thread talking about how to spell and say latin words instead of talking about the game?

Yes, like Jure or Kitchen.

Who are you and what have you done with the Valmy thread highjacker we all know and love?

[FunkMonk]

To be honest, I was totally expecting a terrible launch, like having difficulties downloading and installing the game via gamersgate, instant CTDs on startup, or corrupted save game files. The fact that none of these things happened to me is making me reassess my prejudices of (in-house) Paradox titles.

That the game is actually really fun is just icing on the cake.

[The Brain]

Your Jedi mind tricks won't work on me.

[Drakken]

Your Jedi mind tricks won't work on me.

Sweden is Norse in religion (and thus OPed from Paradox tradition with swarms of Varegue troops to throw in) but constantly in civil war. Fun time to club them like baby seals as Denmark, to steal Småland, Gotland, and Öland from.

Convinced? 

[crazy canuck]

I know what I am going to play first.

Just as "prima facie" is pronounced "pree-mah fah-ts-ye" and not "pr-ay-mah fey-sh-ye", and "mu" in "mutatis mutandis" is pronounced "moo", not "m-yu".

But these phrases are not being used in a classic context - rather they are being used as english "law latin" phrases.
