Can't we use Ruler designer with IronMan/Achievement enable?

[MendoraXII]

Man......This is so sad. ;_;

 

[Flamestalker]

Well no achievements for me then

If RD was balanced, at all, I'd feel your pain. As it stands it is essentially a cheat.

Agreed. It'd be absurd if you could get achievements having used the ruler designer.

I dont see why, there are far better characters already in the game than you could possibly create in RD. Even with the cheap: wounded, excommunicated trick

 

[Wookie1]

I'm not really sure it is, after all you get maybe one really good ruler out of it and then its back to things as they would otherwise have been (hell often you make it harder for yourself by being of some minor dynasty).

But...but...this is suppose to be a simulation game!
and I just want to play as some beautiful countess. TT_TT

You can. But to get achievments you have to suffer through looking at some ugly old guy.

If P'dox believes that a DLC for the game is so unbalanced that you can't get achievements while using it, they should ifx it, instead of screwing over people who've paid for a feature and are now being restricted from using it.

 

[Lucius Drake]

Why is it so bad? Ironman mode is supposed to be challenging.

 

[nhytgbvfeco2]

It'd be cheating. For example:
The achievement "Prester John" (be a catholic bordering miaphysite Abbysnia). You can simply edit the fatmid ruler into a catholic and instantly gain the achievement.

Yes, but still.....
It would be good (and more fun, for most people) if we could take on those challenge along with our own dynasty (and our own COA) wasn't it?

The achievement "Prester John" (be a catholic bordering miaphysite Abbysnia). You can simply edit the fatmid ruler into a catholic and instantly gain the achievement.

Ah I see...
In this case, Paradox should upgrade Customization Pack DLC to have transsexual operation and plastic surgery function then......

That's going into my sig.

this +1

I have to say, I've always been very supportive of all paradox's decisions regarding my favourite game thus far, but this has really blown me over. If the Ruler Designer is that unbalanced, it should be fixed.

I made a character earlier with decent stats (nothing major), cruel, 22 years old, but with a name I chose, looking the way I chose, from a Dynasty I designed. Clicked start to play, suddenly I'm this random Occitan dude (I wanted to be Frankish).

I do have the customiser - is there a way of me customising the first name/dynasty name in ironman still? That would mediate the situation a little bit.

This has really disappointed me. I like achievements as they're things to go for, structure etc. They don't actually mean that much outside of the individual gaining them - there aren't any benefits or rewards or whatever. It's just a sense of fulfilment. Yet, in order to get them I have to be a premade dynasty in spite of owning every other piece of DLC? I'm really, really disappointed.

Please change this paradox. Even if it means everything costs more in Ruler Designer, or like you can't ruler design traits/stats but you can change name/looks. It's ruined my evening a little. I know that sounds hyperbolic, but it's how I feel. I've looked forward to this for ages now, I'm off work ill (SYMPATHIESS!!!) and this was my big hit of today. I only mention the last part so it's not all "Why are you taking a game so seriously, just chill out". Like it was kind of the big, exciting thing that made today bearable.

Kudos on everything else though - or, well, when I bring myself to play the features then kudos!

I'd really like to use ruler designer for Ironman mode, its a function they added to the game it seems very silly to limit it now. As the guy before me said even if it was just name and coat of arms atleast it would be something.

 

[Dr Pearceson]

It'd be cheating. For example:
The achievement "Prester John" (be a catholic bordering miaphysite Abbysnia). You can simply edit the fatmid ruler into a catholic and instantly gain the achievement.

Would it be possible for Paradox to block some achievements if the ruler designer is used, such as Prester John, but keep other achievements that can't be cheated with RD?

 

[nhytgbvfeco2]

Could be, but then you are potentially blocking yourself from getting that achievement.
