OK, so I kinda wish I had jotted this down earlier, some of the details have became rather hazy, but anyways-not only did I dream last weekend that China was in the game proper, but in fact so was...well, everywhere. Except not quite, because the land borders were rather hazy and distorted.

One thing in particular I remember was the United State, which circa 1400s apparantly comprised of the pacific northwest, Idaho, western montana and a bit of nearby canada to the north. Except for vancouver island apparantly not existing, and NA kinda looking like the gall-peters version (I think?).

Anyway, I wanna know if other people have these weird dreams too? There must be far more fucked up stuff with a game like this. : S

Your dream was a vision of the future, of Ck3. It will be a Ck2 re-release once EA buys Paradox Interactive. With the 50 € premium pass you will get the China DLC (hence the sloppy borders) and the "New World Randomizer" DLC (works similarly to Random New World in EUIV but its based off on the US).

Oh, and EA will remove the incest because "its 2022 get with the times"

If Paradox was ever purchased by EA I would legitimately throw a fit. That publisher has no business dealing with complex games like this. They can't even be bothered to get their teams to patch issues in main games series that they have. Don't fuel our nightmares like this!

FWIW last week I downloaded a fun little game called Steam and Iron.It has top of the range 1990s graphics and weighs in at just 43 megabytes and yet STILL has found a way to have a full 3D global projection on its map.

Say again why we are stuck with a warped 2D projection on CK2?

Well , rather mundane , simple , and short ---

But the other night I had a little dream where a garden party was going on , sunny , a little hot , but not too bad. On a broad , really nice lawn. A joust was taking place in the background.

The women were primarily in long dresses in pastel colors and fancy embroidery , with those long conical hats they wore in the 13th century I think ?

( like the KKK headgear , only without the mask , and fancier and prettier. )

Servants were in various heraldic livery. And the men were in plate armor , though without helmets at the party of course , only in the jousting in the background.

I suppose I particularly remember it because the American actor Gregory Peck was there , in plate armor. I think he is dead now , but he was young , maybe around 35 , in my dream. In the dream though , it seemed like nothing particularly special ; " Oh , there's Gregory Peck . Hoo humm. "

In the game one of my consuming pastimes is in handing out gifts , trying to share out titles , playing match -maker , trying to be as merciful and equitable as possible. Ideal Feudalism ; Everybody is somebodies vassal , a matrix of obligation and patronage.

And in the dream , as I wandered about this scene , that was likewise very much on my mind. I was pre -occupied . Gregory Peck was just one of many Barons about whom I wondered , " I hope he is happy. "

And that was basically it.

Obviously I had CK 2 on the brain while I slept.

I was once out strolling one very hot summer's day
When I thought I'd lay myself down to rest
In a big field of tall grass
I lay there in the sun and felt it caressing my face

And I fell asleep and dreamed
I dreamed I was in a Hollywood movie
And that I was the star of the movie
This really blew my mind, the fact that me,
An overfed, long-haired leaping gnome
Should be the star of a Hollywood movie

But there I was, I was taken to a place, the hall of the mountain kings
I stood high upon a mountain top, naked to the world
In front of every kind of girl, there was
Black ones, round ones, big ones, crazy ones

Out of the middle came a lady
She whispered in my ear something crazy
She said:

Spill the wine and take that pearl,
Spill the wine and take that pearl
Spill the wine and take that pearl,
Spill the wine and take that pearl

I thought to myself what could that mean
Am I going crazy or is this just a dream
Now, wait a minute
I know I'm lying in a field of grass somewhere
So it's all in my head
And then.
I heard her say one more time:

Spill the wine and take that pearl,
Spill the wine and take that pearl
Spill the wine and take that pearl,
Spill the wine and take that pearl

I could feel hot flames of fire roaring at my back
As she disappeared, but soon she returned
In her hand was a bottle of wine, in the other, a glass
She poured some of the wine from the bottle into the glass
And raised it to her lips
And just before she drank it, she said:

Spill the wine and take that pearl, Spill the wine and take that pearl
Spill the wine and take that pearl, Spill the wine and take that pearl
