Announcing Crusader Kings II: Horse Lords!

[theKing1988]

no. why are they making the map bigger. they promised. they fucking promised. don't do it, we don't want china

ps i predict many downvotes, but i dont care

Where do they mention China in the presentation. And where do they mention how much bigger they are making the map?

I highly doubt that we will see more than 30-50 provinces added to the map in total

 

[Ols]

Tocharians? Please say Tocharians.

Given Vicky 2 did poorly, I would honestly be surprised if we even get another one.

Any new release from Paradox in the Grand Strategy genre is bound to get a big publicity boost on the basis of past success. As long as the game is accessible and reviewed well, it should make a bigger impact.

 

[Konair0s]

Can you share some data, how many people played for indian nations compared to European?

god another expansion/DLC cant you just announce vicky 3 already im getting tired of waiting wilst eu4 and ck2 get loads of new features ?

Victroria 3 is unlikely to come before Hearts of Iron 4 is at least near finished.

They did not promise it. As a matter of fact, they made it pretty clear that having entire Eurasia is the long-term goal for the franchise.
The only thing that comes close to them promising is that they won't expand until they improve the optimization. Seemingly, the next patch does that so they are expanding the map.

You can't make an entire expansion about one group of people, except if you are the mongols.

The mongols developed video games? I couldn't have guessed

On a side note, does this announcement replace the weekly dev diary?

When I first started here at paradox I promised I would provide ponies. And I delivered! Just took 2 years

Ah, I see. You were fulfilling your promises. I was just going by the wrong ones. Will be expecting hedgehogs Q2/3 2017 by the way.

 

[Johuotar]

I didnt expect map changes but theyre very welcome. Tributaries is something I've been wishing for too.

 

[frolix42]

Very cool. Can't wait.

 

[Zobertus]

I KNEW IT! STEPPE DLC!

 

[Tkrens]

This is the DLC I've wanted for a long time, yay! I wonder how you'll interact with China.

If it took you two years, then I doubt that they can still be called ponies.

Actually, Vicky 2 exceeded expectations to the point that the PI's CEO had to shave his head (because he made a bet with the rest of the team that Vicky 2 won't do that well).
Vicky 2 probably did not do as well as EU4 and CK2, but it did enough well to satisfy PI.

 

[essi2]

Cool!

Probably won't have finished my coop Roman Restoration campaign by then, though

 

[Nelfe]

I am pleased and disappointed.
Please because nomadic tribes and the Mongols needes to be improved.

Disappointed because the map expansion will kill my computer. And my secret hope for CK2 is still and forever a late Middle Age expansion focused on the XIV and XV century.

well in my mind thats a shit ambition when the existing map is so badly lacking in depth. and also money grubbing - lets start off with europe and some of the middle east and then add everything piecemeal with big price tags each time.

i used to love this game so much. i really really did

 

[TheDungen]

Holla fellow Qwertz-user.

Aren't the Magyar somewhat Turkic in any case?

Qwerty actually, and the seljuk invasion should definatly use this too.

 

[grigorii]

WILL IT BE COMPATIBLE WITH OLDER SAVEGAMES?
