Crusader Kings 2

[Double A]

Project Balance. I started as Hamburg, eventually became Iceland, then took half of Ireland and became that instead for a cooler color. I also took the Canaries and Venice for no raisin.

Seljuks ate the Fatimids. Rum ate half of Asia Minor. Byzies married some Russian person and got a bunch of snow.

Some HRE duke waged a lengthy war against Norway (which had a few blobs in England for some reason) to become its king. He won. Poland magically became a vassal. I still don't know how.

 

[Antilogic]

Broke HRE title, give relatives different kingdoms, thinking everyone will be happy....

Spoiler :

1 year later, War of the Eight Kings for Germany:

Spoiler :

Is that a mod that adds the extra kingdoms and changes the colors?

I guess all your relatives have instant alliances with each other, which lets them call in all their brothers whenever two of them pick a fight with each other.

This is CK2+

 

[NBAfan]

This is CK2+

A mod so good, it got Wiz, the maker, a job at Paradox.

 

[Zack]

Eh, it introduces a LOT of stuff I don't like.

 

[Double A]

Same. Project Balance has far less ridiculous bullcrap designed to make the game more Nintendo Hard and gamey. It's also more realistic.

 

[Mosher]

Eh, it introduces a LOT of stuff I don't like.

I've never tried CK2+ out, but most people have the same sentiment towards his EU3 mod, EU3+. I presume that CK2+ makes a lot of changes that slows the pace of the game way down?

 

[Glassmage]

I guess a little. CK2+ restrict CB a little more, restrict increasing crown law a little, make Republics less imba.

 

[Double A]

So does PB, but it doesn't kick you in the balls for no reason. CK2+ makes rebellions far more dangerous just because it can.

 

[Glassmage]

no it doesn't Wiz dropped the rebellion back to vanilla level.

 

[Double A]

Then someone better update the wiki.

 

[Ailedhoo]

I heard people wanted maps. I will give ya maps!

First the map of who owns what. Note the list of the rulers of Pisa. You can guess the family I am playing as.

Spoiler :

Next is of religions. The list continues.

Spoiler :

Now I am the only republic left thanks to my efforts: it means Pisa owns all the trade networks! As for the houses...

Spoiler :

Finally: here is a few years after the trio of maps above and my current ruler.

Spoiler :

All hail Pisa!

Next is of religions. The list continues.

Spoiler :

What's the purple?

 

[Double A]

What purple?

 

[Zack]

I think he's looking at the water in Lithuania.

 

[madviking]

What purple?

I suppose it isn't purple... so, uh, the burgundy-ish colored religion out in Russia.

 

[Zack]

How the hell is that purple?

 

[madviking]

hey zack i'm not exactly an expert in colors don't give me a hard time

 

[Double A]

Does that color look like either of these?

Spoiler purple :

Spoiler burgundy :

 

[Arakhor]

It is a sort of dried wine colour.
