Some time ago, there was a thread called Game of The Week/Month. Here it is. http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?679231-CKII-Game-of-the-Week-Month. Unfortunately, the forumite who ran it became unable to continue. After conferring with like-minded people, I have decided to resurrect this idea, but in a slightly different format.
It occurs to me there are two groups of people on this forum; the people who are experienced players, who have a detailed knowledge of the mechanics. These are the people who cry 'Nerf the Norse!' and such. Then there are the new players, who know much less about how the game works, but are eager to learn. Hopefully this new thread will provide existing players with new ideas to play, and be able to swap stories, and new players will be able to learn from the old. Less of a competition, more of a book club for Crusader Kings 2. So here goes!
New challenge! Page Seven! Go there!
Some ground rules.
1. No cheating. This isn't a competition, you have nothing to gain, not even fake internet points
1a. Exploits are fine. Part of the purpose of this thread is to find weaknesses in the engine
2. Be nice. You were once a noob too
3. Most games will involve taking a de jure kingdom. 'Bonus points' if you take the empire, after that.. impress me
3a. Similarly, most games will have a difficulty rating out of 5. This is to help new players. Feel free to PM me if you think the difficulty is wrong. (bear in mind this is for someone who has a handle on the mechanics, but isn't maxirage)
4. Have fun. This is a video game after all.
5. Don't just post a picture. Tell us a story! I want to know how you play CK2!
