Or what about game let you edit what you want to say about that war ?
I think it would be better, because you can 'expand' the war history without getting boring
And of course, changing the war name would be awesome too.
Great idea. I'd love to be able to customize the history
Especially the name, since sometimes they don't suit in the slightest, for instance; once it said my war was 'The unsuccessful conquest' despite me succeeding. Also, the part where it says what the war ended in. On my Pskov game, it says 'The bloody Pskovian war for Independence ended after 1 year, resulting in a status quo'.
A STATUS QUO! In my opinion, a war ending in a status quo would be a white peace, ducats ceded or something along the lines of war reparations.
Not Pskov gaining their independence.
It also notes (On the same war) that:
'The Pskovian fought the Muscovite in the Battle of Tver, led by Pskovian [Insert pskovian general], suffered some losses fighting the 22,923 strong muscovite army, led by [insert Muscovite general], who suffered some losses'.
Firstly: Where is the size of the Pskovian army?! What is this irritatingly inspecific 'Suffered some losses'! And WHO WON?
Secondly: The way they've added a clause to the line about the Pskovian general makes it annoying to read, and sometimes requires a re-read. Why couldn't it be written plainly and simply?
Thirdly: Who else was involved in this battle! There was no way the 2 province Pskov fought a 22k stack of Muscovites on their own! I remember having a stack of 7-9 (mostly mercs, forcing me to take many loans). They wouldn't have suffered 'Some losses' against a 22k stack, it would have been an annihilation! I had Lithuanians helping me, I would have lost the battle without them, and yet they aren't even mentioned...
Being told of every little decision a ruler makes in the history window is ridiculous. We get a vague description of the war that shaped the area we occupy, and get a detailed description of each and every building that is built, every decision that is made, and every thing else (Which nobody really cares about).
Where is the history of diplomacy? I would kinda like to know about when I allied Muscovy... It was something that shaped Pskov, since it wouldn't have survived otherwise. Being told of vassals being created and annexed would be nice. Call to arms wouldn't be bad.
How about actual history? At the moment, if we look in the History window, we can see that in the years before we started playing, there is stupid fillers.
'Due to the lack of anything of note, 'Blah blah II' is known throughout history as the drunk'. On important nations like France, maybe add things that actually happened. It doesn't have to be complicated, just the title of a war or important event. Or, you could add more interesting fillers, like CK2 had (although not as repetitive).
Ruler stats? Why not list the adm, dip and mil value of your old rulers next to their names. It could explain why your nations prospered or failed.
If none of this could be implemented, then just allowing us to write it all ourselves would do just fine.
I understand that this isn't classed as an important topic to implement and change since there are bigger things to be edited such as Hotjoining, COP...
But Surely adding the availability to edit the history is an easy thing to do? (Don't take that like I know, I'm just assuming
)
Thanks for reading
