And that's just how the fun begins

You're not limited to choosing the famous character on the starting screen. If you choose the "Custom Game" option, you can choose anyone you want on the map. You're not even forced to get stuck in bookmarks: you can choose a specific date between September 15, 1066 and January 1, 1337 and you...

Let's give them the benefit of the doubt and consider the possibility that they hadn't thought about it at the time or simply didn't know how to impelement those mechanics well. Besides, Sons of Abraham introduced a shit-ton of stuff related to religion as far as I remember, and the main focus...

Next DLC has been announced: Monks & Mystics. It will apparently be a religion-focused DLC with sects & monastic orders. There also seems to be a lot of new events coming, and each councilor will get a new action.

So... The Intrigue focus has actually allowed me to murder two kings on the Iron Throne without getting caught... Didn't know I could arrange that. Now, the Queen on the Iron Throne is an underaged wildling girl that's been constantly at war... And yet, I don't think she is going to be...

Started a game a GOT mod game as a custom lord in Wendwater during The Crowned Stag's start. And so far, the game has been... interesting to say the least. To sum up the events: Robert Baratheon ended up remembered as Robert the Monster... He had a bunch of people executed, including his ten...

The 26th tome is out. It's called Le Bal des Pendus (The Ball of the Hanged Ones I guess?). As usual, I only skimmed through it as I'm not a reader of Jour J and just check it from time to time when I stumble upon it. The story seems... very strange though. The POD is apparently linked to a...

I think LSCatlina has basically said everything about the issue of having a successful Boulangist Coup: it was a barely organized movement and whose only unity lied with the figure of Boulanger himself because the man was seen as a rally point for all forces opposing the Third Republic at the...

Yeah... When the game really wants to fuck you over, it doesn't hold any punch... It can even lead me to ragequit at times because of how frustrating it can get. One of the worst cases I got was a game I had started as King Philippe I of France. At the time, Flanders was still de-jure part of...

It's not that bad of a DLC. Council mechanics are tough to manage but they can still be managed with time and effort. Plus, the education system you get with Conclave is far better than the Vanilla one.

It's alive! It's alive!

Sticking with a single family and painting the map can be pretty fun too. In regards to sticking to one family, there are already so many events regarding personnal interactions that it can be incredibly fun to see the family expand and grow as well as how its various members behave. In fact...

Going back to the subject of CK2+, the 4.05.2a version came out yesterday. HIP has also been updated to its Hades3 version. And on the subject of mods that have been adapted, Game of Thrones v1.3 is out. As far as I can tell, it's also the first mod to introduce its own game rules (well, at...

CK2+ was last updated on September 11. Reaper's Due is out since August 25. So, there's a good chance the current version is up to date.

That's actually a bit innacurate: the situation OTL was a really big mess and the context of the French Religious Wars certainly didn't help. To sum up the issues: Henri III had no children and was married to Louise de Lorraine, a woman he loved dearly but who became sterile after a...

I'm a bit skeptical about the fact the transition between Henri III and his nephew would have gone as smoothly as it did, given the context... Still, it's a pretty good and well-written start for the timeline and I'm genuinely curious to see where it goes. So keep up the good work.

Bookmarks aren't the only way to start a game in CK2: you can set any date you want between 1066 and 1337 and then pick up you ruler. To be able to play as Mélisende, you probably need to set the date in 1131 at the earliest and 1151 at the latest. To set up the date, click on the various arrows...

That is actually questionable because Christiannity wasn't the only monotheist religion that made its way into the Empire. You also had the cult of Sol Invictus for example, and that isn't a unique example. It's still possible the Romans would have kept their polytheism and religious plurality...

I don't know but it would still be a dick move to put After the End on Steam without asking for the team's approval. Plus, it might actually be more inconvenient to download the mod on Steam: large mods generally have to be split into several elements on Steam, which is why you don't find that...

Out of curiosity, what are the other AH mods you can find for CK2? Lux Invicta is the only one I know personnally. The other mods I've seen tend to either be more historically accurate even if they include potential AH stuff (CK2+, HIP) or are Fantasy-themed mods (GoT, Elder Kings...
