Can we drop the snake on the baby ad?

[WaitForRain]

I think the child is meant to represent the heir to CK2, namely CK3. So, I must assume it will keep ageing, and become an adult at the time of release...

An heir is born! - the banner ad across the top of the screen.

Pretty tough to miss if you ask me...

 

[DominusNovus]

I do think it is in poor taste.

 

[LordofLight]

I dunno, sounds like you have poor taste.

Baby murder is a core pillar of CK2.

Good, now tell me - what does the snake actually represent in that imagery..?

The ancap financial department that want to push the release of the game with unfinished features and gamebreaking bugs, threatening the game fanbase?

It's weird and cruel.

And I don't think anyone ever assassinated an infant via asp.

This is not cruel...it's two little words where we draw the line

The perils of being an heir? A snake is easier to depict in images than a rickety safety railing after all.

Yeah, looks cooler than being suffocated by a pillow, too.

 

[pete_ts]

Ok, millennial

 

[Gurkhal]

Like I've said elsewhere to me the child represents innocence and the snake the corruption of the world which finds its way into everything and to everyone.

But most likely it more a matter of shock value.

Don't be childish.

Hint: look at the emblem on the boys tunic

Thats the coat of arms of Flanders quartered with a gold cross trefly which I haven't been able to place, so someone with house of Flanders who was a child when crowned, maybe Baldwin V? I can't think of anyone else who would use that kind of cross besides the latin emperors as their heraldry.
