CK2 Dev Diary #61: The Dragon Throne

[VoodooEconomist]

I hope, I really hope that the expansion won't be focusing on China and Asia. I mean it's supposed to be the last expansion right ? I'd like it to include as many features as possible for as many cultures as possible.

Either the last or the second-last. They've said they might add one last expansion to round it all up.

Yes, but later Johan stated "we will keep making them if people keep buying them", so there might be more.

 

[Admiral Fischer]

We're aware it isn't quite accurate to use the temple name during their lifetime, but we decided it was the best course of action given that we need the names to be both consistent and recognizable.

Don't understand this part, if anything this naming convention makes the thing more inconsistent and unrecognizable.

 

[Phibs]

CK2 will remain playable. Gud.

 

[Voigt]

It would be cool if there would be somes special interactions, either if you reformed the Roman Empire and retake interactions with China, or if you completed a World Conquest, and interact with China, Aztecs.

Also please, please nativly add the Aztec Emporer as an outside power to interact with. The Events of Sunset Invasion themselfs say they start to trade with the Europeans before they attack, and after they landed how they interact with their homeland. Give your old DLC some love.

 

[moscal]

Can we hope that "Sunset Invasion" (Aztek Empire) will also get a mechanic similar to Dragon Throne?

Oh,yes...
After all, most Chinese names are too short...

 

[Ivan_Noreland]

Will there be an off-map China even if you don't buy the expansion?

 

[Thure]

It's not. They said after this they will do as much expansions as long as the people buy them.

 

[Link777]

I hope a version of this mechanic is also added for the Aztec Empire if you have sunset invasion as it would model it so well. Please show your old dlcs some love!

 

[Andrelvis]

It'll be highly moddable.
You can add more offmap titles.
Diplomatic range is more than just the regular diplomatic range system, and basically any restriction can be modded in.

Oh God This is amazing!

 

[Masoud22volk]

interesting idea

If they do they should change the name of the american invaders too, Aztecs are anarchronistic, either go for a power more in line with the times (I would recomend toltec or teotihuacan*), or make something up... the sunset empire?

*Yes I know they are just as out of their time as the aztecs but in the opposite directions on the other hand teotihuacan was amongst the ten largest cities in the world at it's peak, if it had not collapsed then them invading the old world is not that far fetched).

I would rather have seen this for the Aztecs than for China.

 

[Oorlog]

This will be a good addition to the east. Love the China UI panel.

Please dont release on the same day as the coming stellaris story pack

What kind of names are available for Emperors? Only -zong (Taizong) or also -zu (Taizu)?

 

[SvartVind]

I remain sceptical, althought not disappointed.

Like many people, I'd just prefer having China in the game "for real".
I know it's a performance issue, but still.

Especially since it's another "special mechanic/interface". I'm distrustful of those.


I think I'd rather be able to turn off entire regions during the game's setup, making provinces inaccessible. I might turn off China (and India) when playing in Western Europe, and turn off Western Europe when playing in China. Because as the world gets larger, the chance that realms from far away will impact my game gameplay-wise gets smaller and smaller (even for the Middle East). And so I'd be able to decide how much performance I'm willing to sacrifice.

Especially since the performance issue will get smaller as time goes on, even after development of CK2 stops.

 

[Vindahl]

I wonder if this DLC will add anything of interest to the Western Feudal Realms, (besides some late-game flavor-event about Marco Polo) or it will only be a flavorful and useful when playing as an east-indian character...?

I know that the DLC will also add other stuff, and there is the free patch of course - but when I bought Horse Lords, I was not smart, cause I have never played as a Nomad and therefore the whole DLC seems a bit pricy for what I actually can use, playing the way I like to play...
So, I guess that if I usually play as a Spanish Duke, a Norse Chief or an Irish Count, I will not "really" get anything of interest from this!?
I guess I have to wait and see for future dev diaries, I could be mistaken... But overall, it looks like a nice DLC, don't get me wrong ...

 

[Meneth]

Don't understand this part, if anything this naming convention makes the thing more inconsistent and unrecognizable.

This way, the emperor keeps the same name during life and death, and the name they're generally known by is used.

What kind of names are available for Emperors? Only -zong (Taizong) or also -zu (Taizu)?

-zu for the founder of each dynasty. -zong for everyone else.

I don't like the idea of having a great power that I can't conquer

While I agree that for non-Nomad players the DLC might've been not much, but it did introduce the Silk Road and Tributaries - so that's something Most DLCs include changes for all playable rulers, so I'd expect this one to have those too.
