Plunge into the powerful and profitable world of Papal politics, appointing your bishops, gaining influence with the College of Cardinals and reap the rewards of the Pope’s money and favours. Show your devotion with the Holy Orders; their clout will come in handy when you want to expel troublesome relatives to a monastery! Pick sides of the Islamic debate, choosing to follow the rationalist Mutazili or opposing Ashari or play as a Jewish lord and restore the Kingdom of Israel. Crusader Kings II: Sons of Abraham features hundreds of new religious events no matter what doctrine you follow! http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?730296-Praise-be-to-the-Divine!-Crusader-Kings-II-Sons-of-Abraham-is-announced | ||

Patch 0.5 Notes Essos has finally arrived! This huge new continent contains hundreds of new provinces and characters, from the Free Cities to all the way upto Qarth in East, and from Ibben in the North to the Summer Islands in the south. With this new continent many existing mechanics and scenarios have been adjusted. The most noteworthy additions are: - Slavery- an extensive system has been added to model the slave trade in the east - Piracy- Take control of a pirate in the Stepstones or Basilisk Isles - Ninepenny Kings Scenario- Try and conquer Westeros as Maelys Blackfyre - Bleeding Years scenario Other changes include: - Added a Faith Militant Uprising bookmark based on information from the Worldbook preview - The High Septon is now elected using DLC cardinal mechanics. Old system still used if DLC is not active - Added a new set of crown laws for The Seven called Faith Authority to replace the Investiture laws Important Notes: - You may notice an enormous area called the Dothraki Sea, it is currently inactive as the Dothraki mechanics have not been completed yet. - If you are wondering about the question mark flags everywhere, there are currently no flags for many areas. http://citadel.prophpbb.com/topic4502.html Just recently picked CK2 up and have been having a blast with it. I've been waiting for the updated GoT mod release and lo and behold, Christmas has come early. There goes more hours of my time. | ||

Steam does that constantly, so just check every day. Some the new mechanics work well, and will also help mods become even better. | ||

The biggest changes was an overhaul of antipope mechanics decadence mechanics (which got delayed) holy order mechanics and finaly battle mechanical changes with flanking and terrain changes. Some of these were free like the battle mechanics while the holy order and church interactions were dlc. Paradox does this with expansions si they can continue to fund development while ruthlessly finding out what people want in new content. | ||

Does anyone know of any "realism" mods? My real problem with CK2 is a few things that seem highly unrealistic; infant mortality is very low, and elective succession is really, really strong. These two together mean that dynasties (PC and not) are remarkably stable; it feels like the HRE should always be fighting amongst itself and that at the least dynasties ought to be switching around control of major countries pretty regularly. | ||

First time playing (aside from the learning scenario). My character died in battle at like age 50 something, succeeded by his son....... who promptly got murdered, and was then succeeded by his teenage son... Who turned out to be gay. And now every time I set his ambition to get married, he immediately rejects it ("X wants to get married" ... 1 day later: "X no longer wants to get married"). Seeing as how he has no heir, is the dynasty just fucked now or can he still somehow produce an out of wedlock heir :D? Btw funny story: I was checking out a neighbouring county which I wanted to try to marry into, and noticed they only had sons, and I was thinking "If only my character was gay" --- literally 5 seconds later "X does not care for women." | ||

Hrm, that may be a bug...as far as I know you are still able to marry off gay characters, they just take a fertility hit. Depending on your succession laws, you may only need 1 son from him to be OK, so having a gay heir isn't usually the end of the world. I have no idea why he is cancelling the ambition, but you should be able to marry him off anyways? Try to find a woman that cancels out the fertility somewhat, or just roll the dice and hope you get one good son out of him eventually. EDIT: FYI, Crusader Kings 2 is free to play on Steam this week! Perfect time to try it for those of you who have not. | ||

You can have a bastard be legitimized into an heir, but homosexuals probably won't be having affairs with women. | ||

Edit: The other option is change the succession laws to something entirely different, if you have decent same-dynasty candidates for elective or seniority or something. | ||

You need to have your (female) heir enter a matrilineal marriage (or marry a cousin), otherwise your grandson will be your son-in-law's dynasty which causes Game Over if he inherits. The nasty part is that your oldest daughter will not necessarily be your heir. Your oldest daughter who already has a son when you die is the one who inherits. So until you have a son of your own, or a big enough family that you can trust pure Agnatic succession, you kind of have to marry all of your daughters matrilineally or to cousins. They might have changed that since last I played, but it's one of those few surprises in CK2 that is truly no fun. Usually learning stuff in PDS games is really fun. | ||
