Announcing Crusader Kings II: Horse Lords!

[Grallak]

no sir, japan is for sengoku, and sengoku 2 will become as good as ck2

Hopefully

But the Japanese were the only ones who managed to beat the horde

Even though they used godmode.

 

[TheDarkMaster]

I suspect that the way the DLC unlock will work is that you need Old Gods to play as all non-tengri pagans, Old Gods unlocks tengri if non-hoard, Horse Lords will also unlock tengri, and Horse Lords is required for using hoard government.

Didn't lithuania too? Isn't that why they are so freakishly big at the start of eu4?

 

[Asthner]

It was more because of successful wars with Rus duchies than with the nomads, who kept more to the south. As far as I remember. I don’t have time to look it up properly, sorry.

Poland and Lithuania successfully stood against them, yes.

 

[TheDungen]

Oh I just thought t was that way because the blurb about the piast dynsty in the scoreboard says they were making ready to bring the fight to the mongols or something like that.

I adore Crusader Kings II but alas, 'map expansion' has become a phrase to chill the soul. I hope the patch accompanying Horse Lords is as sublime as I dream. It is not a lack of new content that has kept me away from Crusader Kings II in not-so recent times, it is game performance. It has been a good long while since I dared even try to take my dynasty through to 1453. I hope I'll be able to accomplish such feats once more with a Horde after Horse Lords.

 

[lucysky]

Will buy it on the first day! HYPE!!!!!!

Groogy has said 2.4 will run faster than the game did at release.

 

[Communitnerd92]

looks awesome so looking forward to this

 

[A Lady Errant]

I can't wait to play this, I was waiting for an Asian map expansion!

 

[Czert]

will be map compatibile with old games or we will need to start a new game ?

 

[Baltasar]

I HATE YOU PARADOX!!

Now I'll sink even more time into this game of your -.-

 

[Es57]

Groogy said that ironman saves will not be compatible.
Non-ironman games will be compatible, but some weirdness might occur.

 

[Sahraine]

Fantastic


Terrible name.

Like having 5 generations of Karl's and your heir names his first born Milkshake

. Horse Lords...p-uke.

But yippie!

 

[ShadowWarrior23]

Love the name and everything else about it, for the world shall be one gigantic khanate

 

[redsimonDE]

I already conquered all of continental Europe as the Mongol Horde, pre-Charlemagne. Damnit, so many campaigns still left.

 

[Videogames]

The Vietnamese and Javanese also beat them. So actually, the horde does have its limits.

Yep, same. I've already conquered the whole map as the Mongols pre-RoI, down to the last holding.

Hopefully this DLC will add enough to make doing so a second time worth it.

...would it be un-PC to suggest that it might be interesting to introduce something to reflect just how devastating the Mongols invading could be? Holdings being not merely captured but wiped off the map, for example?

It's already confirmed that Mongols can burn down the whole map and destroy all holdings out there
