    I was able to pick up CK2 during an Amazon sale last week, but alas, none of the DLCs were on sale. Luckily, Steam is having a Paradox Sale this weekend and they're cheaper. Are there any ya'll would specifically recommend getting or avoiding? I haven't really read into many of them aside from the Ruler Designer, so I'm not sure what all they add.

    Edit: Music, faces, and shields... oh my... Looks like I might just be picking up the RD to play with later. Hah.

    I'm not even sure I'm going to show up. Failed to sleep last night, so I'm dead tired.

    I also picked this up during the Amazon sale. I've been playing in Ireland currently. Still trying to get my bearings and plotting skills down. The guide by on SA is really, really good.

    I could be interested in playing online, but am worried I would get crushed.

    For what it's worth, we have not been fighting each other.

    I might play next week. I want to get my feet a little more wet before jumping in with you guys.

    Yeah, I'm not going to be able to make it tonight. Brain not really functional.

    The 0.1.1 patch seems to have made winning the war as the Mad King extremely difficult. Hmm.

    First time of being on this site and I find some Crusader Kings 2 stuff, excellent. Anyway I'd happily play multiplayer CK2 for the AGOT mod anytime.

    Is there a place between the yay peace forever that is Ireland and the constant war that is Spain?

    Scandinavia is pretty good for this. Lots of pagan targets along the Baltic, some Catholic opponents, but the pagans aren't terribly aggressive.

    So I used to be a person who looked confusingly at grand strategy players, while listening to their grandiose stories, and wondered "How are you getting all that from a picture of a map". Hah. But this game... So many neat storylines take place in every playthough I've had. We all have them, so I won't bother spouting off one in particular. I just wanted to say it's nice to get into one of these and finally see at least a glimpse into what they are all about.

    I'm down for a rebellion or two.

    My heir has a foreign liege. What does this means? I am not even sure how it happened.

    Did you marry them to a foreign female count/duke?

    Upon further review, won't so much be around. I'm coming down with something and I spent the early evening fighting a 6 year independence war that will not end. Gonna go to bed early.

    I just learned about this game, and I'm curious how accessible it is. Last Paradox Interactive game I played (Victoria II maybe?) involved me starting the game, then five minutes later my economy was in shambles because the price of wheat went down, unemployment went up, and I was dead in the water. I tried 3 or 4 more times but every game went similar. On the continuum of complicatedness, is this game closer to 'Lord of the Realms' or 'excel spreadsheets with graphics'?

    I've never played the 1st Crusader Kings, but I'm a fan of Civ5, SotS, other 4x games, Total War, etc.. I'm curious what the chances are I'd enjoy this.

    Vicky is the most complicated, easily. This has a very different dynamic. Playablewise it's probably a 5.5 on the Mario to MoO3 scale. Fully understanding it is maybe a 7.5

    Check the SA link I've posted in various places (including somewhere in this thread) if you need help understanding things.

    Gotcha. I'll search about for the link it and see if it's for me.

    Boo lack of GoT plotting and backstabbimg for me to read about!

  • enlightenedbumenlightenedbum Registered User regular
    Limited interest. I blame Scott Walker.

    Figured some here might be interested in a A Game of Thrones MOD for Crusader Kings 2. Seems pretty high quality! Just downloaded it myself and going to give it a go.

    1.06 hits tomorrow too. Early on Paradox said that it would be semi-save game compatible, but no official word since AFAIK.

    Yeah, it might be exciting. If it's unstable, we can get really spread out or all go Muslim (I'm assuming we're all spending the ten bucks?) or whatever.

    Not sure I'm going to be able to commit to the two nights a week schedule any longer, but I should be around for a play session tonight at least. Hope I can remember wtf I was doing when last we played.

    I'll have to join in one of the multi nights, just as soon as I recover from the UI overload that is this game.

  • shalmeloshalmelo sees no evil Registered User regular
    So, is the 1183 save on page 33 the current version?
