Agreed! Thank you PI!

The manual mentions achievements. Will there be achievements on CK2? It works quite well with paradox games, but paradox connect is stalled it seems.

Thanks, nice to have before the big game day..

In the Spanish version, in page 5, talking about other Paradox games, it talks about Victoria III. Yay!

The steam page shows it uses steam achievements, not sure about the GG version though.

Nothing on tyranny and next to nothing on Moral Authority of the church

Indeed. Didnt get the chance to test yet whether creating an antipope while already excommunicated lets you fix it for free. Hope it does That'd be an amazing incentive with deep historical overtones. "Oh yeah? Well you aint MY pope anymore, bitch!"

Thank you. It gives me something to read until the release!

Thank you!!!

A very nice manual, I especially liked the last line! One thing I would have wanted to be in though is precisely what is affected by the character attributes (especially the ruler's attributes, advisors are pretty obvious since you can see how their mission efficiency differs depending on their attribute). I understand why the modifiers for traits aren't in since that might be subject to balancing, but I wouldn't guess, for instance, ruler stewardship is?

There is a button for paradox connect when you press ESC ingame. But it looks like no button in the start menu.

Now I'm waiting for a strategy guide

I have a question about some of the titles listed in the appendix. In Appendix 9.3 there is a list of minor titles that can either be awarded, or are given out automatically according to circumstances that might arise, to members of the court. An example of the former would be "Master of the Hunt", and the latter, "Regent." But there seem to be quite a few other titles in the list, that apparently can be given to the members of the court, that weren't present as an option in the demo (for example, "Court Jester" and "Keeper of the King's Swans"). Is this because it was the demo, and not the full version of the game? Or are they simply made available later in the game (i.e. through technological advancement)?

Court Jester and Keeper of Swans are definitely present in demo. Maybe, you need to be a king to have them.

This was written by Alfred Packer? Excellent.

this does not explain any of the nuts and bolts of the game, almost no numbers at all to be found. I assume this was intended. I guess the tooltips will be enough, but I definitely see the need for a crusader kings 2 wiki which breaks down things like the effect of the learning stat on tech advancement and what moral authority actually does.

argh! i cannot download the pdf! i get to around 65% then adobe reader auto opens and says "there is an error with the file, data could not be saved". i wanna look at the manual now!

Anyone know how to make people pass your laws?? WHat makes people vote for them?

[Ruwaard]

Thanks!

You have no clue how much I needed this

This...oh god this.

If this game is delayed i may become....unstable

I don't really understand all the praise the manual is getting. It's actually quite bad manual. It only tells very basic stuff and doesn't go any deeper in the game mechanics. You learned more from the tooltips in game. I really didn't learn anything new when I read it through.

But I don't mean to sound too harsh. It's nice to see a manual with more than five pages, it's not so common anymore and I am sure that there will be a CKII-wiki page with more than enough information. Really looking forward to the release day!
