I can't even believe how much I've learned after reading it from start to finish. That guy, kersch, is freaking amazing at the game and at expkaining it. You should also keep yourselves up to date on CK2+, an awesome mod developed by Wiz (those of you who played other Paradox games should know him). It makes the game much better. He usually posts his updates here. Have fun It was a very interesting read that took quite some time ! Learned some new tricks and enjoyed it overall thanks !  Anyone now other Reports/LetsPlay of similar quality ? | ||

ERE was huge for a while then they started splintering after the Golden Khanate came around. France and Ireland have taken over all of freaking Spain -___-. France, quite frankly, is a ridiculous monster. I'm planning to take him on after I properly absorb my African provinces and chew off more of Germany, but I'm not sure even then that I can get the job done. Maybe I should spread east instead and try to re-establish the old Roman empire?? Anyhow, insanely awesome game. | ||

I am pretty sure that i should not be able to win a war against Norway as Scotland from the starting positions, or a war against england shortly afterwards. I take this from the fact that they have about 5x as many soldiers as i do. However, they don't appear to like using ships, EVER, and just transporting troops around for a counterattack somewhere else, and never engaging their doomstack makes them just run around aimlessly while you siege province after province. This way i could instantly enforce my de jure claim on Caithness, and England is now split into 4 seperate countries because after some time in my defensive war against them, apparently their king died and everyone revolted. The EU3 AI was already bad at dealing with that sort of stuff, but the CK2 one seems to be completely lost against any sort of naval tactics. | ||

Consultan The Creator: CKII Sword Of Islam Interview RPS: Finally, you’ve added some new De Jure empires, including Britannia! How hard is it going to be for me to become the once and future Emperor? Fåhraeus: To create any empire, you need to control 80% of its constituent counties. In addition, many empires have special creation conditions. The Empire of Britannia requires that you are of English, Saxon, Irish, Scottish, Welsh, or Norman culture. We are aware that the addition of the new empires might be controversial for historical accuracy reasons, but it makes for good gameplay, and gameplay… is king. Wondering what you think about this? Personally I don't think they should have added unhistorically empires, if people want those they can get mods. | ||

I would have preferred titular empires, but I'm glad they're adding something since it is better for gameplay. | ||

There are for instance several lands in Germany that is de jure French, etc etc, and it only gets worse as time passes with random inheritants on the far side of Europe. Edit. I'd really like the "de jure" things to be exchanged by just current county holders. What the de jure duchies and kingdoms looks like is almost always completely irrelevant to what you want to do. What the map looks like though beneath the grey mass is always important though. | ||

That's pretty useful because in the HRE your dejure title, like the duchy of Saxony, is often not under your actual control. That only shows vassals directly under the highest title owner. It's only really a problem with empires, but since the next patch is going to make empires much more widespread, they definitely need to add a new screen showing your direct vassals rather than your liege's vassals. | ||

That said, I would like to the option to at least see that as well. | ||

No it wouldn't. It would be like the map mode you get when you first pick whom to play. You can filter through emperors, kings, dukes and counts. County holdings that are owned by a king for instance are greyed out when in the duke map mode. It's sooooooo easy and such a good way to do it. Instead they put it in some weird "de jure" map mode that none ever uses. I want exactly what the de jure one shows, but for what's actually going on on my screen. How the world looks looks like 'de jure' is information that's so incredibly uninteresting and unimportant in every single situation that I can't fathom how they made 3 map modes for it. As the game works, when you're a count, you're mostly fighting counts. Thus you want to know where other counts are and how strong you are. The same goes with dukes and kings. You just put the map mode on what rank you're playing as and you can basically keep it there the entire game pretty much. So convenient. | ||

They also decide which crown laws a province is under. That being said, there is no reason not to add even more map modes. Oh come on.. That's slightly exaggerated. Creating duchies is usually bad for you as it decentralizes your power immensly, and gives 5 provinces of your realm to a vassal that is likely to revolt before long. You can see the kingdoms and duchies regardless by pressing their coat of arms in game. There are pop ups every time there's vote on crown laws, so you should be pretty aware anyway. Besides they could just add that as a shade in some other map mode. The current map modes are so awful and clunky I'm having a hard time finding the strength to persevere and actually play the game ^^ Other than that I love the game of course. I still have 300 hours logged. | ||
