Crusader Kings II: Charlemagne - Dev Diary 2 - Kings, Queens and Murderers

[Jorlem]

Plot assassinations in general were always weird to me. Why do they go over 100%? IMO they should cap at 100% with 0 chance of being found out but make this difficult to achieve. From 1-49% lower chance of success but also a higher chance of being discovered and from 50%-99% there should be a lower chance to be discovered but a higher chance of success naturally (this all barring those annoying drunk blabbermouths). The fact that it's easier for me to pull off a plot with 20+ people as opposed to 1-2 with higher plot power always seemed ridiculous. It tempts me to want to kill every single person involved afterwards just to keep them all quiet.

It is because Paradox doesn't properly differentiate between percentages and percentage points. (This is also why many of the "percentage" values in EU4 don't combine the way you'd expect them to, as they are actually percentage points, not percentages.) The number of percentage points you have in a plot influences the MTTH of the plot firing, depending on certain breakpoints. If the pp are between 100 and 200, the plot has a MTTH of one year, and I believe it halves that for every additional 100 pp.

Come on Paradox, stop Sweden from steamrolling Finland in every start. Counting from CM start date it took you like 600 years to get even halfway, this is as silly as it was seeing Fatimids take Greece in 1066 starts.

 

[AchedTeacher]

Except we knew literally all of this already.

 

[ngppgn]

Will diplo-assassination be disabled only via defines, like curremtly is in AGOT, or completely removed? Modding-wise, the former route should be taken over the later, for modders to be able to "bring it back".

In another note, any news on the rumors of multiple simultaneous plots?

Edit:do we have any information on the moddability of the chronicle feature?

 

[Guerillonist]

Well...Saxon and Frisian are to different cultures. But since both counting as Ingvaeonic I would call them pretty close.
Some of the cultures in Charlemange as they are planned at the moment seem pretty weird to me anyhow. I don't really see why there should be a germanic visigothic culture in Hispania. It would make sense if the leaders had this culture, but I strongly doubt that there was a significant ammount of germanics around in Iberia in the late 8th century.

 

[DC123456789]

Visigothic will not be Germanic. It's Iberian, and in this context it's basically another name for Romano-Iberian.

 

[Ezumiyr]

These new features are great.

But I fear we won't be using the "go into hiding" decision" very often.

 

[perry7484]

Time to steamroll the Franks as Byzantium... Muahaahahahhahaha!

I just noticed this:

Along with this comes new support for modders to dynamically change the coat of arms for any title through events or decisions or via the history files.

Does it mean what I think it means? Because that is just awesome!

 

[Radzeer]

The king declaration option seems sweet. And the chronicle idea is awesome.

I'm guessing what Vicky had. Event sets a _flag, that _flag overrules what CoA is used.

 

[frankatank109]

So far I'm pretty underwhelmed with this, the assassination changes re fine I guess, not really huge. It's not too hard to make a real kingdom so I don't see title creation being very useful. Really the only thing that impressed me was this:

I'm really on board with the whole "declared realm" thing, especially with the Chronicle.

>King So and So the First, on Such and Such Date, declared the Empire of Somewhere
>There was much rejoicing

 

[frankatank109]

Also just remembered, there was a mod for the title creation thing. Not sure if the mod is still active but it hardly qualifies as something especially new.

It is no longer active, but CK2+ still offers cultural empires.

 

[LordDamien]

This looks really cool. Up until now I have pretty much ever expansion for this game just minus the Ruler Designer one. Which i may just get because With this expansion I can make my own empire and I have some cool ideas about that one.

So I am looking forward to this expansion.. Now I should work on finishing a game lol. I have yet to do that yet

What about the minstrels?

 

[Nyrael]

It's not too hard to make a real kingdom so I don't see title creation being very useful.

This was added mainly for the flavor: as is, it is impossible to create new Kingdoms like Bosnia, Naples, etc. which were historically created during the timeframe.
