The saddest part of the MM fiasco is that this probably means the end of future Paradox-modder joint-projects, despite games like Darkest Hour showcasing how such relationships can work out. Everything's gone sour.

You're not doing yourself any favors regarding the "I didn't mean for this to be an argument about tastes" statement with stuff like that. I would agree that we have more convenient access to rubbish nowadays, but that's largely because the rapid expansion of the internet and social media has...

Fair enough. One thing might be to introduce more gadgets and electronic tricks earlier, so that their usage might be guided by an earlier generation. Imagine if Raymond Scott had another ten or fifteen years to establish an "electronic" sound, earlier than his '50s/early '60s experiments...

Granted, Tupac's lyrics could oftentimes be aggressive. Likewise, "Bad Bad Leroy Brown" ('the baddest man in the whole damned town') also provides a lovely, colorful description of Leroy all cut up, a mental image the whole family can enjoy. Given that the challenge is "Keep Music Good", where...

"if you take your time to hear me, maybe you can learn to cheer me / it ain't about black or white, cause we're human" -Tupac

They never sang about drugs, crime or sex in the Good Old Days. And hip hop is frightfully hard to avoid once you've got record players and disc jockeys live at dancehall parties. All it takes is one DJ who thinks he's figured out a way to prolong a few neat bits in a song, and, well...

GAZE UPON MY SULTANATE OF BURGUNDY, YE MIGHTY, AND DESPAIR Early on, I managed to intermingle with some Andalusians enough that my kids had the default "Arab" look rather than European, and then I married my kids off to every corner of the map. Centuries later, I found a dark-skinned...

...oh! Those parts are in the coat_of_arms folder, then, as pattern_muslim.tga and pattern2_muslim.tga.

The Pope hasn't lost all his holdings-- I don't know how they got it, but the Papacy currently holds two little holdings; one in Brittany (Dol, in Rennes province) and the other in Benevento (the titular Barony of Benevento). The Pope holds court in the Breton province, which is weird because...

Green crescent on a blue field, with a single red scimitar crossing over the crescent. But that there in France is the Sultanate of Burgundy, which has two blue scimitars crossed in an 'X' sort of way, above a single green star, on top of a field of red. Cathar Occitan Kingdom of Jerusalem...

The Reconquista has not done too well in my current game...

Thank God I'm on the other side of the map.

I usually tend to snatch up Paradox titles when they're twenty bucks or less, but this really is a stirling game. Maybe wait for the price to drop down to thirty, but it's totally the buyer's call there.

Never, ever, ever create an exclave. I have had so much trouble holding onto one piddily little province in the Levant, and the trouble just isn't worth it.

With the latest patch, I decided to start off the game as an Ethiopian Cornwall* and happened on something pretty neat-- the Shia Caliphate swallowed up Axum, Abyssinia and Harer pretty quickly, and after each annexation, some of those Ethiopians fled all the way to Ethiopian Cornwall. I've had...

For my next trick, I'll hire a Suomenusko chaplain and convert my entire kingdom! Or not.

It's only 1100 in my Antioch game and so far I've killed one wife, married a former heir to an Abyssinian prince after I changed my succession laws, and just ordered the assassination of my own heir after I realized that he's just godawful and one of my daughters is leagues better than the kid...

Ended up choosing to play as the Duchy of Gwynedd. Just ordered the assassination of my wife and married a 16-year-old genius cortesean with pretty much no negative traits. Am I doing it right?

I went through the tutorials and now I have no idea who I ought to start a first game with. I never played CK1, so I've no experience with this stuff at all. Recommendations?
