Crusader Kings II: Conclave to be released early 2016!

[Cuthuthulu]

Does this mean we can get a Magna Carta like events and Parliments?

Any chance the forumites can get Councillor John Miller's insane grimacing face as an avatar?

 

[The Number 9]

This looks great.

I hope it will be.

 

[topotamadre]

Great.

 

[Bolshevik_1924]

Its definitely interesting ill give it that.

 

[ahhheygao]

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

I don't see why not. The only issue is how exploitable or effective the mechanics work in the hands of human players.

 

[TheDungen]

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?

I'm guesing late is late feudal, we should really have early feudal too.

Good point.

[kemazon]

Impressive. Really good stuff.

Glad they decided to do a major overhaul of concepts already in the game. More depth, same map. Love it.

Not really sure what you want from parliaments in CK2. All of your vassals already get a vote when you try to change laws around taxes and levies.

 

[Friedrich von Deutschland]

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

My guess too although I feel more than just two of them should exist for larger empires with many vassals (HRE).

 

[Emre Yigit]

If done well, this promises (for me) to be far more interesting than the last few expansions.

However, I cannot help but feel that the event pulses will decline further as "optimisation" for the new mechanics occurs.

 

[migalhone]

People wanted more internal politics to EU4, so we got Cossacks; fittingly, this DLC will focus on improved realm politics and empowering vassals.

Oh and the GoT mod will probably get more interesting

So my point is, will Conclave be to CK2 what the Cossacks were to EU4?

 

[sreckom92]

I hope it comes out in January....
I also hope you don't listen to me and release it if it's not ready.

Thank you for this fine Christmas gift!

As long as the factions actually have some teeth then this looks good. If it's just a redesigned occasional game of whack-a-mole then...ehhh. Really hoping factions and the way their titles work is changed so factions and rebellions are increasingly very powerful at the king and emperor level.

 

[SaintCurmudgeon]

I'm sorry, I can't get excited about this. More rebellions does not make this game more enjoyable. It slows down the game and distracts from the fun core of the game. I'm not even sure it makes the game more historical, as council politics generally didn't find much ground in mid eval world until around the latter part of the time covered by Crusader Kings II,

Time to back up towards expanded game play, not limiting play.

 

[DàbiànLājīdàrén]

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

Heh.



Those were included in Charlemagne.

Not sure, but I think the "Late" option wasn't there before.

Actually on the contrary early in the era the coincils held more power. Look at france and the HRE at the begining of eu4, france has just went through a major restructuring (our of nessecity due to the HYW), centrlaised it's power to the monarch, becomming more absolute, while the HRE still functions in the old feudal model.

Deliver a "pawn of the barons" event ... and I will throw $£₩‎₫¥. I will make it reign.
