CK2 Development Diary #8 Life goes on

I think it would be cool if there was a rareish event for good christian rulers to visit their local leper colony and give charity... only to possibly find out later that he caught it.

Also maybe a slight modifier to make the knights hospitaller want to build more hospitals? Or an event chain between you and them to allow them to build one in your province.

Did... did I just feel my wallet get lighter?

 

[melkor88]

I'm liking the eyepatch!

 

[moscal]

Is the efficiency of medieval hospital was so large that "holding-hospital" affect to whatever?

 

[Enriador]

In the Southern Italy pic, is that a crown over the grave in Dubrovnik?

 

[Red Earth]

What's that mask on the King of Jerusalem's face?

Now that you say it, indeed !

Probably a leper mask ?

If neither of you have seen Kingdom of Heaven then drop everything and do it now. I'm surprised anyone has played this game and not seen that movie.

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.

I personally wouldn't get rid of it because:
1) Balance reasons;
2) "Coward" is rather a "title" bestowed upon an individual by the society. Since society's views on cowardice and survival can change from culture to culture and throughout the time, we can not say if such behavior would be considered "cowardly" (unless you are a medieval history specialist who read many written accounts of such behavior in secluded groups).

 

[Moarice]

I'm loving these features!

Any clue about when the Expansion will be released?

I think they said somewhere that it'll be released in Autumn, but I'm not sure.

 

[Rationalsanity]

I think they said somewhere that it'll be released in Autumn, but I'm not sure.

I'd guess late summer at the earliest.

 

[Keizer Harm]

I'd guess late summer at the earliest.

Autumn was the EUIV DLC. They did not say anything about this one.

 

[Moarice]

Autumn was the EUIV DLC. They did not say anything about this one.

I stand corrected.

 

[Kevkev100]

So if Patricians have no holdings except their "Family Palace" do they hole up there? What about the Doge?

 

[Rationalsanity]

Autumn was the EUIV DLC. They did not say anything about this one.

I know, that's just my guess.

 

[OBRkenobi]

I think that only your family (dynasty members) should be allowed to seclude in your capital holding. Or maybe give us a choice between only letting our own family/dynasty in or allowing just the councillors or the entire court to join us with some event/decision?

 

[Maal]

Are these 3D tombstones/fires/crowns new?

 

[Robert II]

Meh.

 

[SupGuys]

I think it would be cool if there was a rareish event for good christian rulers to visit their local leper colony and give charity... only to possibly find out later that he caught it.

Leprosy in most forms isn't actually contagious through physical interaction. That's why doctors don't need to take many precautions to work in a leper colony.

If neither of you have seen Kingdom of Heaven then drop everything and do it now. I'm surprised anyone has played this game and not seen that movie.

I think the whole "Baldwin IV mask thing" has been proved to be historically inaccurate, however.

 

[Snake_Squeezins]

The last few updates have made it seem like this Epidemic-related DLC will offer some interesting flavor, but after every update I am left wondering what the general upside will be for having the expansion. So far the features only seem to increase the chances that your characters will die horribly or colorfully. Sure that's interesting, but I don't anticipate a best-seller if this is exclusively about augmenting the difficulty rate and increasing the chances that our beloved characters are randomly killed, crippled, disfigured, and so on. There needs to be a carrot and not just a stick, so I hope we eventually get to see some carrots.

 

[revolutio]

I'm a 99% percent a lurker of these forums, but I'm pleased as peaches that the one thing I wanted to see included in this game is finally being added:

I hope they go with the Danse Macabre name.

 

[Hikuran]

So the next DLC will be Bio Hazard, right?
