CK2 Development Diary #7: Get Sicker and die harder

[rageair]

Do we also get more options to control our court? Like being able to refuse random courtiers to join?

Yes, there will be an action to ask people to leave your court. It's available to use on courtiers who aren't doing anything important (like being a commander or councilor) and costs a bit of prestige.

if I have a saved game above works with this new dlc???? or I have to create a new game to work with this dlc.

All sound great. Can't wait for the announcement.

Crusader Kings: Bring Out Your Dead

With all the new stuff coming to CKII I'm looking forward to returning to it after my Stellaris time. And starting a new, non 2.4.5 game.

Regarding marriage. Will sick characters be refused marriage?

 

[Red Earth]

Hospitals do help, other than that: Keep your realm poor and hope no traders bearing gifts arrive

So the eunuch party is over.

I'm somewhat concerned about allowing a great plague to happen earlier than 1300. If anything, the great plague had been one of the powerful factors that undermined the basis for the feudalism and played an important role in transition of Europe to post-medieval economy and to the Early Modern Era (which EU4 represented). If the feudalism somehow survived the great plague that broke out earlier than 1300 and go on as if nothing really happened, it would be hugely implausible and immersion-breaking. It have to be a game-changing event.

I would suggest some ways to represent the irreversible change towards post-feudal society / economy or something as result of the great plague.

Absolutely Brilliant Paradox.

I'm very much looking forward to this DLC.

EDIT: Would it be possible to control the Plague and 'guide' it as a form of Biological warfare. Like the Mongols did in Caffa? Apologies if this has already been answered.

They say it is not possible, earlier so no.

Will there be things done to limit pan-European marriage? Kind of unrealistic for Portuguese counts trying to marry Russian princesses when its best to marry locally to consolidate power. Marriage range should be more limited for lower lower ranking nobles (barons, counts, dukes, etc.).

One way would be to have actual monastical order, so when someone take vow they actually go to them, would finally give us a way to get rid of old ladies beside murder.

I'm glad that diseases and epidemics are finally being improved with this dlc, hopefully the next one will have a religious flavour and adds monasteries as a holding option with new unique events, interactions and decisions when dealing with them.

Interesting... I thought this game was essentially dead after the Conclave/2.5.X debacle.

Can you add this song to the soundtrack and have it only play when there's a plague outbreak?

Don't think there's copyright issues with a 140 year old song.

@rageair

Will Autocephalacy become fully moddable in the next update(s)?

MAKE IT SO

Can I still attach my ruler as commander to a retinue, embark said retinue onto boat, and have him sit idly and immune-ly in the nearest ocean province while the world burns around him? Or are ship-bound commanders now infectable?

Song? No. A much more recent recording? Probably. To be sure all is above board, they'd have to make a recording of their own.

However, so far all music has been originally composed for the game (except for the Christmas carols), so having a well-known classic added might not fit with the overall sound design vision?

I guess one would have to ask @Jazzhole

 

[Praetorian44]

This sounds like an interesting DLC, though it also appears to be very limited in scope.
