Crusader Kings 2

BTW, your event mod is quite good cybrxkhan.

Actually, VIET's creator just coincidentally has the same username as I do, I didn't work on it, obviously.

:p

But seriously, thanks, I do hope more people make more flavor events. They're a simple, non-intrusive addition that's sorely needed for the game after you play enough.

What are those mods?

Friends and Foes was originally a mod that focused on recreating the trait system in a rather clever way (basically all traits are categorized under the four "humors" (from medieval philosophy and medicine), and, along with other tweaks, this ensured that characters had more unique personalities). Lately it's been adding other, flavor and character-based additions and is now more or less an overhaul mod.

VIET is a mod I made (and am still developing) with flavor in mind (though it also includes some tweaks); it's modular and includes four modules to give folks a bit more choice in choosing things (one of the big drawbacks about big overhaul mods like CK2+ and Project Balance is that you can't really pick and choose what you want and don't want): Core, which has some simple balance and flavor tweaks and additions and doesn't really do much to change vanilla; Traits, which tweaks traits and adds a few congenital ones; Events, which, well, adds more flavor events; and Immersion, which includes some larger flavor changes and additions (like some culture-unique mechanics, history file changes, etc.) but nothing too drastic like CK2+.
 
In 100 years after the lowly countess Ulrike got her own duchy, I went pass my goal of getting Kingdom of Saxon straight to Kaiser of HRE. I got first place with 3 votes for some reason, and I had enough money for 1 assassination on my dear Kaiser. While the old man was going to stop a huge revolt, I assassinate him and Leopold got the Holy Roman Emperor title. I also got a relation hit because the henchmen got caught. >_>

And then to legitimize the House von Eppenstein I befriended the Pope and he crowned Reinhard the "Bloody".

Heh, the Ethiopian king of Lotharingia.

lol so that guy was Reinhart's aunt husband who was married matrilineality. He was a prince or something so I was like okay a little prestige. And then when I start creating the kingdom titles I thought might as well keep all these new kingdoms in the dynasty so I gave Lotharingia to him. :P
 
I got Project Balance.

Spoiler :

This is not balance.

And before you blame the RNG, I savescummed and retried this at least fifteen times before I ragequit and started playing other games. I even got them to attack me across the strait one time and HEY GUESS WHAT I STILL LOST.
 
Wouldn't horse archers massacre the knights?

Yeah, that's what I'm guessing.

Horsearchers kill lots in the pre-melee stages of battle.


Anyhow, PB doesn't really change the battle system much - it's "balance" changes are more focused on making sure the AI and you, the dear player, don't create huge nonsensical blobs, and that the world proceeds in a more historically plausible manner.
 
I have superior commanders, but they don't always get used for some ass-backwards reason.

They keep winning the skirmish phase. It's ********. Absolutely ********.
 
That feel when you have a super high intrigue person becoming spymaster for Byzantine emperors, embezzle their money and kill them afterward throwing the empire into war and fragmented states in 10 years. :D And new emperors keep begging you to be their regent and spymaster.
 
Speaking of the ck2+ mod, I've been trying to get this mod, but I'm still locked out of the appropriate forum at Paradox, despite being registered there for a year and having registered CK2 with the forum. What gives?
 
You're better off PMing a Paradox administrator than asking us.
 
The correct answer is "Because the Paradox forum sucks."
 
We can't fix his problem, so he'll have to take it up with Paradox, however much it might suck.
