Crusader Kings Export to EU2

[unmerged(23193)]

When one exports a Crusader Kings game into EU2, what happens??

1. Is it like starting a GC with different stats for some country's king??

2. Does it ( or can it ) radically change that countries starting provinces/vassels/alliances??

3. Are DP settings changed??

4. Are distant lands ( like China ) effected at the start??

5. Could skillfull Crusader Kings play allow me to create a 3 or 4 province Lorraine at the start of a GC??

While afaik monarch stats in EU2 are the same as normal, the thing that is radically changed is the country setup. If in the export kingdom of France happened to own whole catholic western Europe, you can see France dominating west europe in EU2 too.

Anything beyond CK map stays as normal.

Skillful Crusader Kings play can give you Lorraine the size of Charlemagne's empire.

Sorry Byakhiam that's not all the truth.
I know for problem exporting Croatia kingdom from CK 1.04a to EU II 1.08 in which ulmost all territory outside Croatia historical border become Cuman state.

I've never used the exporter myself, I'm just telling how it should be working. If you feel the exporter is working buggily (and preferably could provide saves which end up in buggy results in exporter) it can help to make the exporter better. As it's not the most simplest thing to do a converter of one game to another, there's bound to be some odd behaviour, like with all complex things at first.

CK exports are very different from the GC, due to political setup of course which is the effect of pretty much totally random outcome of a CK-game. Also afaik in CK big countries seem to survive for long (like Germany, France, or even Cumans) and get converted as a whole in consequence, meaning that you start often the eu2 game with some 5-6 great powers (not seldom other than in a standard eu2 game) instead of a bunch of minors and potential powers.
Another thing is that all claims you get during CK game (which can be a lot) get converted to CB-shields which can easily give you (and ai-countries) CB's on half of Europe in most ridiculous places. And this can have very interesting consequences for the balance of power in Europe.

Rest of the world is simply loaded from standard GC setup so it is the same.

1: stats for kings are unaffected.
2: yes, depends on circomstances at end of CK.
3: Yes.
4: No

What decides the borders of the countries. In one export I held all danish lands but since the king of france also had the danish crown denmark started independent. I had controll of the bohemian norwegan and swedish thrones but norway and bohemia went independent. Instead I got a random province in lithuania. Even though I had controlled the entire balitc coast with vassals and had no lithuanian crown a few of those stayed with me and a few left.

Futhermore I wonder what sets the tax values and dp settings.....
