CK2 Dev Diary #87 - Killing Spree

[benjaseth]

Add a new trait? "Bloodthirsty" + 10 relations with Cruel characters (respect for dread), + 5 with Craven (respect through fear) and - 20 with Kind characters (hatred for evil). You get it when you have killed 20 + characters. Think Ivan the Terrible and Genghis Khan. Miniature gameplay mechanic (opening the way for more in the future?) representing rule through fear, a long requested feature.

 

[Sigurd_55]

What is it, Battle Royal now? Kappa

 

[Woifee]

Achievement Idea:
Han shot first: As a character of Han culture you are the first character in the game who killed another landed character.

 

[Woifee]

Doctrine?? What?

Reforming pagans get an overhaul.

 

[Ezumiyr]

So I'll be able to say "I'll add you to my little collection" every time I kill someone. Neat.

 

[drucchi]

What I really would want is the ability for someone to investigate the death of a family member or courtier. You know so we can have good old fashioned blood feuds.

 

[Rockphed]

Hmmm

View attachment 380273

I spy with my little eye, either a Byzantine emperor who converted to Islam, or a Muslim emperor that converted to Greek.

There is another Basileus with the same coat of arms a few lines further down, right below a Despot. Something hinky went on in that game.

 

[hyme]

I love it.

 

[Spricar]

Instead of this, can we FINALLY, for the love of all gods get a mechanics that would allow us to rule as a tyrant? Fear should be as good incentive for obedience as love and happines.

 

[Ixal]

So next week will show the pagan reformation mechanic? I am completely happy with that.

Also I would like to see the changes to personal combat (which also hopefully means that personal combat is used more consequntly then it is now).

 

[Keizaal]

For some reason, characters with a Reformed Pagan religion using the Bloodthirsty Gods doctrine tend to top the lists... more on that in the next Dev Diary!

So I take it that in the next dev diary we will finally hear more about pagan reformations and doctrines. Finally! I can hardly wait for the next dev diary.

 

[europe]

So if a woman dies during childbirth will her progeny then have her listed as a victim?

Seems rather macabre.

 

[yeabil]

frog trait ? does this mean you're about to croak

 

[yeabil]

What do you think about adding a feature to write some notes for characters? Sometimes it is really difficult to remember which one should be killed and the reason why. Usually, I use notepad with pen, but it would be greater to see that feature in the game.

i always thought it would be nice to be able to edit this in the chronicles, that way you have an ongoing history of the realm

 

[Prominences]

Is there going to be an achievement for killing a certain number of people? Fifty, perhaps?

If so, I have a feeling a lot of CK2 games are going to start looking like this.

 

[Rognvaldr19]

Woohoo, it's a good feature because more than once I've sat back with a particular character and just wondered, jeez, I've murdered, duelled and just outright killed so many people. Then I'm stuck wondering if it was two dozen or three, so this is really cool.

 

[Gnostiko]

Lord Khorne is most pleased with this feature.

 

[D.Knight]

If no one else has said it - if you get 300 kills you should get an achievement called "You're Dead Kiddo" with an icon of a Gorilla in full military combat gear.

 

[Woifee]

Kill Bill: Kill william the conquerer in Battle or in personal combat

 

[Rags17]

Okay, now that we're keeping track of kills I can see a LOT of potential new achievements ere -

• The aforementioned "Han shot First"
• The aforementioned 300 kills
• Killing all of members of a single dynasty
• Wiping out one member of each religion/culture group
• Killing X number of kids/imbeciles/women
• killing X number of religious heads

The possibilities are endless !
