Crusader Kings II: Conclave to be released early 2016!

[Panzerschiffe]

My only concern is whether there's an increase in performance.

People don't like when you mention the P-word around here.

 

[Oahkoah]

So you changed "Buy Hedgehogs" into "Buy Favor"? What a needless nerf to the hedgehog economy, shows how dumbed down the game is becoming!

 

[Metallord]

Probably council members who don't have any specific role. They could be just there so you can keep vassals happy.

I'm guessing the diplo advisor will drown in work now

Another victory for the platypus faction...

Umm... there's no "This is funny!" button on ratings... CURSES!

Coalitions? Is this EU4?

I have released a mod which removes several provinces and makes the game run fast even in laptops(the way I have been playing).

I don't think there is a lot to be done in that department on the part of the devs, except maybe avoiding more map expansions in the future. RoI was and remains the major thing to blame for most of our performance woes. The engine has its limitations and the map shouldn't have been expanded the way it has without testing performance beforehand.

Also, every single new feature adds at least a bit of processor load. Many people don't realize it but things like the silk road and dynamic mercenaries for instance are quite resource intensive. Everyone wants new features though(including me), so we have to live with that.

 

[Slayen]

These new features look frankly fantastic.

Well you kind of dropped the ball with the devdiaries, you've been telling us nothign up until now and now you reveal a bunch of mechanics all at once. Not that I'm not excited.

I like the idea that my counsel will vote on certain decisions and that each member will have dispositions which I must work around. Seems like vassal-Lege relations just got a lot more interesting on both ends.

I agree, thugh Iäve always found it more fun to be a vassal anyway.

Otherwise known as: "Craven" and "Kind".

"The quiet ones are the ones that change the universe. The loud ones only take the credits"
Don't mistake being timid for being a coward.

More effective brainwashing of kids? Exactly what we need!

More intresting, wheter it's more efficient is still to be seen.

Great. Because it needs to be harder to manage your idiot vassals. If it works how I think it's going to work then once you get to either High Crown Authority or Empire Government it needs to transition to being easier to manage your empire, as a means of rewarding you for slogging through their inane requests and predictable disloyalty.

Actually yeah it does need to be harder to manage your vassals. It has been crazy easy since the faction nerf.

Anything regarding the unrealistic pan-European marriages? Can you guys put some sort of road bump. Not realistic for people at the time to seek spouses across the continent when it is more convenient and tactically sound to marry locally or within the realm. Expand where you are, no sense in a Portuguese count marrying the daughter of a Russian count.

Well those aren't too strange late in the game era. But erly on yeah. perhaps diplomatic range needs to increase over time?

Umm... there's no "This is funny!" button on ratings... CURSES!

Use helpful.

No, it's CK2 with some features that worked well in EU4 and were judged to help solve some problems the developers had with this game.

 

[ranbir]

The best thing is the Council page isn't a single vertical list!

 

[DàbiànLājīdàrén]

Surprised no one has mentioned this detail in one of the screenshots yet:

Looks like Byzantium is gonna get some imperial love.

lol so are people still going to call this a solely "feudal" simulator now that we have both non feudal government types as well as non feudal administrative types?

 

[Provenance]

non feudal administrative types?

Those were included in Charlemagne.

 

[AKronblad]

Wow, look really nice with more domestic matters and intrigues to attend to.

Was it ever answered whether playing vassals will get more features and mechanics too, and not onlythe overlords?

 

[Metz]

Well those aren't too strange late in the game era. But erly on yeah. perhaps diplomatic range needs to increase over time?

Diplomatic range should be based on landed rank.

Barons should marry within the court or spawn a random wife that resides in the court.
Counts should marry within the region.
Dukes within the country.
Kings and Emperors within the continent, however with same culture and religion prioritized slightly more.

 

[DàbiànLājīdàrén]

"Why is Pdox punishing players? Why can't they expand vassal management? Game ruined!"

Heh.

OMG NO RELIGIOUS MECHANICS paradox scuks die one thousand deaths Conclave obviously mustest improve papal y u no let me play holy see mueehhhh

 

[MateusMat]

When I saw the name of the DLC I became so hopeful of a Religion Overhaul DLC. Oh well...

This DLC looks awesome anyway... but could you please... please... Do a religion overhaul as well.

 

[R'hllor]

Looking good! I still disagree with the idea of coalitions, but otherwise this looks like a solid expansion. Don't screw it up!
