CK2 Development Diary #8 Life goes on

[Rubidium]

Personally, I'm hoping for a Masque of the Red Death homage event chain.

 

[Asiak]

What new ambition is this? Or is it just groom an heir, it looks like groom an heir. But I swore groom an heir was one crown.

 

[Darkrenown]

I think it's just a new icon for Groom. We have a bunch of new icons, times are good!
E: I'm told it's actually a new icon for Acquire title

 

[Metz]

Will there be events of having wandering barbers show up at your city trying to "cure" people? Also inviting them to stay at your court to "remedy" the characters there.

 

[Asiak]

A big crown on top of a little crown does instantly make you think of grooming an heir.

And new icons are always fun.

 

[Keizer Harm]

Get rid of that craven trait for wanting to stay in seclusion from a plague. That's not cowardice, that's survival. That is what most people would do in an epidemic.
If it's a low enough chance that to receive craven, I suppose that is ok then.

He's not becoming a coward from protecting his life: he is getting PTSD from hearing the screams of tormented peasants outside the gates he ordered closed. Sounds pretty scary to me.

 

[Es57]

THAT BALDWIN!!!

anyway i guess the name for this DLC is "Requiscat in Pace" or "Rest in Peace"

"Way of Death" would be a better title, imo...

Also, cannibalism in CK2 ! This game is getting more depraved by the minute. Nice.

Now, not only can you impregnate and kill your sister, but you can eat her as well !

No no no, not the "does Craven represent misunderstood PTSD/did PTSD exist in Medieval times"-discussion again, please! We've gone for so long without those popping up on the first page!

 

[Metz]

Should cuckold be a trait or a modifier? Cause they say that once a cuck, always a cuck.

 

[Grand Historian]

I can understand why the hospital was made into a unique holding for balancing reasons, but I do hope it gets more than two building chains, as even that's on the short side when it comes to additional holdings.

There was no answer last DD, so I'll ask again (especially as depopulation has been hinted at) - is there no way to go Madagascar on the pandemic?



Luchino Visconti was also a very ambitious and very cruel man, so that might be needed (at least the latter).

This would be an interesting game mechanic, to say the least. And what's that little green spot around Bruges?

Coloring mistake - it was the color for "sparsely hit area" that was later changed to grey, missing that spot.

On the other hand, by now the survival of Flanders is regarded as a historiography error - it probably was hit just as hard or little less, but it was overpopulated enough to throw more workers at the epidemic and keep the economy going.

 

[Invader]

While I enjoy the introduction of epidemic diseases, I think it is not good to have hospitals as a separate holding. Hospital should be direction you could develop a church (or rather, church town) in, where another direction might be more church levies or economic buildings. Hospitals as separate holding is grossly unhistorical.

 

[orochi2k]

I need my spymaster to set my enemy's hospitals on fire and smuggle a group of leaper inside their holdings.

 

[ThaHoward]

Awesome! And liked your Baldwin IV too!

 

[BrotherJonathan]

Interesting...though wouldn't it have been simpler to make hspitals constructable buildings, rather than seperate holdings?

 

[Karlingid]

Is there a connection between Hospitals and Knightly Orders/The Church, as they were the historical source of these? At the very least Hospitals should be generally produced by Bishops or Knightly Order Commanders with holdings in your provinces via event, right? I feel it would make far more sense to even make them just buildings that come with those two types of holdings, as it would give a far greater incentive for them and make more sense historically.

Maybe these guys will live up to their name.

 

[Denisantia]

awesome

 

[Vexxar]

I'm loving these features!

Any clue about when the Expansion will be released?

 

[Ezumiyr]

So the DLC is called RIP in the events? Rest in Peace DLC confirmed?

Could also be Requiescat in Pace, which sounds more "medieval".

Usurp, you mean?
