Crusader Kings 2

[Luckymoose]

I imprisoned him for a decade and then executed him.

 

[MoreEpicThanYou]

You shouldn't have executed him, the longer he's imprisoned the less Crusades you'll have to deal with.

Gamey tactics are gamey! I roleplay.

Lucky: by chance, did he ever complain about his accommodations?

Oh, yes. I ignored him.

 

[salty mud]

Do they ever not complain about their accommodations? What do they expect, they are imprisoned!

Yeah, it's always rich to get a pop up from a vassal who tried to revolt complaining about their prison cell.

Maybe if you didn't revolt, you'd still be in that castle in that province you owned.

Castrate him.

I'm pretty sure you need to be Orthodox Greek to be able to do that.

 

[madviking]

Castrate him.

In the words of noted philosopher Bo Burnham

Yeah, a dick on a pope
Is just like a soap on a rope
Cause it's pointless, unless in prison
Throw up your bibles, Christ has risen

The A.I Byzantines actually bested me in a war. Even with all of the mercenaries I could buy (a lot considering how rich Sicily/Southern Italy is) they still outnumbered me ten to one. And then the North African emirs come knocking, which I barely managed to hold off in the aftermath of the devastating Byzantine war. I'm Sicily.

Paradox has revealed Sunset Invasion, a new dlc with the Aztecs invading Europe.

That was my reaction too.

I mean, it's cool.

But on the other hand, it makes absolutely no sense.

I really don't know how to react to this.

It sounds useful for modders, but on the other hand I really don't want to pay another $5 for a DLC that doesn't even come with a new map just so mods can use a few of the features.

EDIT: A few of the screenshots:

100k stack of Aztecs in Cornwall.

I am kind of disappointed they just gave them Norse longboats with Aztec figureheads. This realyl feels like a DLC that should have been free, or maybe a buck or two.

Same here. I think it'd be great for modders if there's new features that can be modded, but then again, not everyone will buy the DLC (regardless of its content) so that would be problem too.


PI can do whatever the heck it wants, but I might pass on this DLC... or just wait until the steam holiday sale.

 

[Luckymoose]

Hmm, apparently the game can force you to lose without ever prompting you with a peace offer... I'm very pissed right now. It ended my dynasty mid war.

 

[MoreEpicThanYou]

If the Europeans actually have a decent chance of defeating the Aztecs, this will be the best DLC/expansion Paradox has done in a long time. And imagine a megacampaign with it...

Also, I'm pretty sure the Aztecs didn't know the concept of feudalism. Then again, the same could be said about the Mongols...

 

[SouthernKing]

inb4 the "it's not historically accurate, so it sucks!" crowd, I actually think this is a brilliant idea for a DLC. I might not buy it at release due to me having a list of 5-10 other things I want to buy first though.
I really like these kind of batshit insane scenarios.

 

[MoreEpicThanYou]

If there aren't any events for smallpox/Black Plague killing Aztecs, I'm going to mod them in. Other than that, I'm fine with it not being realistic.

Too late. Have you seen the thread? It's absurd; some go as far to declare that Paradox are now worse than EA, or that Paradox hates their customers, etc.

@METY dunno if the Aztecs will be hit by disease; the information available implies that Europeans will be hit by it though.

What. The. Hell.
