Nirvana is Nigh! Paradox Announce Crusader Kings II: Rajas of India

[spaceroliste]

so... Spring right? Should I expect it for March the 20th? Or later... like March 21?
(no pressure guys xD)

 

[Ruskhan]

Will there be season, i mean like in EU4? With snow and stuff??

 

[KomodoWaran]

The map and the provinces will be in the patch.

Will CK2 be able to adapt 2.0.4 savegames to the extended map?

 

[LordMM]

I heard its April 1st week....which would be great as i will be a bit Richer to buy all the DLC's

 

[Groogy]

Will CK2 be able to adapt 2.0.4 savegames to the extended map?

2.1 will not be save compatible. BUT! We are not heartless and will provide a 2.0.x branch in Steam for everyone who wants to complete their saves.

Note: There are a lot of map changes, not just adding India but also some tweaks and changes in the nearby areas which would make saves impossible to make save compatible.

 

[Alexivan]

I CAN'T WAIT for our 20 players Game of Thrones MP sessions with that sweet hot-join option

Sorry, there won't be any hotjoin functionality. The main things about steam integration are a new server list and workshop functionality.

 

[Kolonel]

So when can we expect Dev Diaries?

 

[gorillacakes]

The map is looking well. I'm still curious about all the new features that are listed. When can we expect the dev diary?

 

[Groogy]

Soon™

Hopefully within two weeks for a dev diary to magically appear.

 

[WolfSnakeCaffer]

Its difficult to tell given how little we saw, is this expanding the map to include India or is it merely giving us a new map. Either way, can't wait.

 

[oskar-kar]

Great! But why Hungary, England, France, Genoa (Navarra and Aragon too but i'm not sure) have changed CoAs?

 

[Sparticulous]

awesome.

 

[wickermoon]

Windowed Borderless mode? Steam MP? Workshop Support? Caste System? *fap fap fap*

I heart you, PDX and esp. Groogy, who's probably been working his ass off. :3

 

[Groogy]

It expands the map, it ain't separate. They are joined together.

 

[Sparticulous]

Will the Qara-Khitai Khanate be represented as an invasion in the 1124s into central asia? When the remnants of the lao dynasty fled after their empire was destroyed?

 

[Kljunas]

Hey Groogy! Since the converter will have to be reworked to take all these new titles, provinces, etc. into account, can we expect some new cool converter-related stuff? Like Miaphysites or personal unions?

 

[brxbrx]

So, nothing for the core of the game?

 

[Groogy]

Hey Groogy! Since the converter will have to be reworked to take all these new titles, provinces, etc. into account, can we expect some new cool converter-related stuff? Like Miaphysites or personal unions?

Probably not, I will mostly focus on getting the Indian content up and running with the converter, if time appears I will try to polish some stuff yes.

 

[jakt]

so, is the map square?

also, whomever made that video is such a tease

 

[NewbieOne]

I love the music. But the video as a whole is honestly underwhelming, it even feels half-baked. Sorry to say this, I probably wouldn't to a small modding team, but this is a different case. Still looking forward to the DLC, though.

Also:

1. What's the intended meaning of 'pluralistic' in: 'its pluralistic religions; Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism?'
2. Since for Jainists there will be extra focus on having a stable and harmonious realm (and to a lesser extent the making of Siddartha proud with your teching), will some of the same flavour be made available to Christian realms? (*)
3. Any information about smaller accompanying DLC's like music, faces etc.?

(*) Some corners of the Christian world in specific timeframes had a really high appreciation of learning. Think about the small-time renaissance brought about by Irish monks in 9-10th century, or even Cluny. Or, with less flare, the Benedictines. Ironically, crusader states weren't that bad at tolerance.
