CK II save converter questions?

[liltrogdor]

I have some question about the CK II save converter.

1.Do you need all CK II DLC for it to work?(I only have some DLC, not all)

2.Is it like a tool in steam? or is like a game?(I've never done save converting before)

3.Do I get it once EU IV is released?

4.Will CK II games started before EU IV's release work in the save converter?

2) It adds a button in CK2 to export the game you're currently playing.

1) According to DD and interview, having a specific DLC might have an effect on how the game is converted.

1. Only to get special changes to the map (If you have the Aztec DLC enabled, America will turn into two large native empires)
2. DLC for CK2. You start it from inside the game.
3. At release.
4. Yes.

Thank you to all of you who have responded and answered my questions. I feel better about the EU IV release now.

Will the save converter be modifiable? For example if you added buddhism and a chinese culture to your ck2 game for an interesting scenario, will you be able to mod those changes into the converter so that your Buddhist Chinese Poland will show up that way in EU4?

Yes - Johan confirmed that the DLC uses some modifiable scripts. Nobody knows just HOW customizable it is though - it will support all official DLC and patches though.

Yep. The converter is totally modifiable.

What about culture? Germany in EUIV has many different cultures (German, Austrian, Bavarian, Rheinlander) but the Germans in CKII are just 'German'.
Will German culture just be split up or will it stay uniform?

If one of the hordes is christian when converting, is it still considered, well, a horde?

The Fan Converter CKII -> EUIII split the german culture up. If you had german culture around Cologne for example, they became Rheinländer in EUIII, so it is fair to assume, that the EUIV converter will work similiar.
