CK2 Dev Diary# 23: More rules, less lunatics

Hello all, it’s time for a CK2 DD once again. Now before I get into the meat of this one, I want to let you know that DDs between DLCs are going to be shorter than the big feature-explainers I could write during Reaper’s, so don’t be surprised if some are brief.

Moving on, work on 2.6.2 continues well, and I’ll post the patch notes when it’s closer to being done, but some fixes that may interest people include:

• AI Characters are much less likely to take Experimental treatments for minor illnesses, which means you should see less maimed or insane character about in the world.
• Patricians can now properly Go into Seclusion and Search for Court Physicians.
• Characters under 16 no longer get gout.

We have added more Game Rules:

• Supernatural events can be set to Unrestricted, allowing the AI to have fun with them too.
• Both Mongol and Aztec invasions can be set to “Delayed Random” where they will show up at random but not before the year 1000 and not before the game has been played for 50 years.
• Turkic Conquerors can be set to Historical/Random/Off.
• Way of Life users can set Dueling to Normal/Restricted/Unrestricted.
• Both Vassal and Demesne limits can be set to Normal/Unlimited/50%/25%
• Grant Independence can be set to Normal/Unrestricted.
• Assassinate plots in MP can be set to Normal/No Players/No Players + Heirs/No Player Dynasty.

We have also continued to add more Content, including:

The various Defensive Pagan faiths now allow you to pick a Patron Deity granting a bonus to certain stats, and allowing access to certain new events:



Plus, all Pagan religion now have their own Valhalla-bound equivalent:


Characters in Seclusion may find they have an uninvited guest:


Immortal characters are now a lot more likely to wake up from Incapacitating head wounds, and there is no longer an age limit on said event for Immortals.
Even non-depressed Immortals who find that life Eternal isn’t all that great may now attempt to end their life.
Not only that, it’s also possible that Immortal characters may find they are not the only people to have found Eternal life, and that their brethren are not the most welcoming types:

say one thing for Rurik Rurikid, say he's lucky

And that's it for now, see you next week!

 

With "normal" you need a reason to duel, restricted lets you duel without the reason but they need to be adult, male etc, with unrestricted you can just go hog-wild.
