Announcing Crusader Kings II: Horse Lords!

[EmperorG]

Oh and are we also finally getting the damn Khitan? Because seriously any map expansion in Central Asia would give us the whole of the Khitan's lands and having imaginary people and rulers in their place is annoying for those that wish to play the Khitan.

Especially since the capital of the Khitan is already on the map...

I just got home from school, and first, Fallout 4 officially teased, and now this?! All I need is a girlfriend and I can die in peace.

Well I'm pretty sure they will still be, but they will come from somewhere this time, instead of appearing instantly, but I guess the exceptional horde leader might still be scripted to appear, they might just have to actually work for their historical position now.

Hopefully when the mongol horde comes together we as players may have a chance of becomming Genghis Khan, if we are comperable to the temujin that spawns.

This is going to be great for the Khazars. The Silk Road will bring in the wealth that the Qagans historically had, and if they do it right, encourage the building of forts like Sarkel along it to protect trade. Jewish Radhanites could make the conversion happen more often, which would be great. The clan mechanics could make so if Bulan actually becomes Qagan and converts, the Bulanid dynasty could actually exist from 769. I'm just concerned about how nomadic elements of it will work. By 769, the Khazars had in many places settled down, and are considered to be semi-nomadic. They never needed to massively migrate after that, considering they had several larger cities (Itil, Khazaran, Balanjar, etc.) and major forts established in their territory. Will truly be interesting to see how this turns out.

That might be worked into the concept. That you start drifting away from purely nomadic lifestyles (unless you are the mongols) as you build forts and holdings in strategic places.

only to have those burned down by the next wave of nomads who go through the same thing (unless...)

 

[Lemont Elwood]

Very excited, but I have one question and one complaint:
1) How far, exactly, is the map expansion going? After all, Hordes basically extended all the way to the Pacific.
2) Horse Lords is an absolutely horrible name.

 

[pillullis]

So, do we have people complaining yet? How their precious Theocracy wasn't added implemented?
I for one, welcome this amazing expansion.

 

[Djaevlenselv]

Never trust a Dane.
- A Swede

Ha! As if deception comes natural to Danes. You think it's possible to lie and trick people when we're drunk all the time? Why I'll bet you anything Groogy was forced to develop his trolling skill to cope with life after moving to your barren frozen country where there's no cheap alcohol!

No we're being nice about it and try to be happy for the map extension fancrowd, wish you'd follow that example.

Well it does, it's easy to lie when no one understands you in the first place.

 

[Lemont Elwood]

The one thing I'm worried about is what will happen to DLC groups and map extensions come CK3. If Paradox did anything other than include all the new religions, it would seem like an inferior product, but that would also leave almost no room for DLC...

 

[Cetan]

Didn't expect horse lords but I am pleasantly surprised. Definitely a nice mechanic to add. And a small steppe (middle ground? ) to China without adding it

Definitely hyped. Good job Paradox.

 

[Chef Boyardee]

Sounds cool, can't wait.

 

[toroltao]

I doubt there'll be many provinces added to central Asia. Like I mean how much more of Central Asia is there left? There's basically only the Tarim and Zunghar Basins left. At most maybe 20-30 provinces.

 

[Riekopo]

The narrator in the video doesn't match the theme at all. It sounds like the narrator from Endless Legend. They should have used a Mongolian narrator.

 

[ruzen]

YES FINALLY FOCUS ON ANATOLIA YEEAAaaaaaa back to the roots baby ! Love IT <3

 

[Slavicist]

Quite wonderful TRADE is finally coming in.

 

[Zobertus]

If the Khitans still don't come to existence, I'll ride to Stockholm on horseback and shoot Paradoxians with my composite bow.
