We have updated our Community Code of Conduct. Please read through the new rules for the forum that are an integral part of Paradox Interactive’s User Agreement.
Somewhat, I don't really agree Threat needs to mean Dislike though, Defensive Pacts are more like invasion intervention. I would like more ways to gain favors.
Actually, the deathscreams were not just for fun - new content!
I think the core CK2 team was like 4 people? Until very recently 6 people was a large team for us.
I even mentioned Secret bears in my intro! I don't know how the forum got the idea Groogy made secret bears

Great way of thinking. The idea was good but the way It is now; If you wana pass a law in your own country you have to bribe bunch of dudes or maybe you are friend with random chance. There should be threating (prisoned close family member), blackmail ("spy on" feature could be usefull there), other traints like cavern, greedy could be have more impact and lastly threat with revoke.
I am excited to see what team will come up with.

Welcome, new members of the dev team!
Still, would really like to know the stance on limiting player interaction (forced call to arms, council voting being automatic, etc).
Oh well, see you again next week.

Glad to see the Game Director hasn't changed, although I'm confused by why the original designers would change the design to remove player choice and forbid the player from backstabbing.
Almost every fun story I've ever heard about CK2 involved backstabbing or betrayal of some kind. The rest relied on player freedom to choose and act. Recent changes artificially restrict both.

They were screams of people being assassinated. We may see some improvements of the plot system. That fills me with joy.

That's pretty impressive (I was pretty sure it was smaller than nine, but I didn't know that for at least a while you were only two and a bit!). Did a pretty decent job between the two and a bit of you as well
.That sounds promising
. It's definitely a different style of combat to CK2, but I'd be surprised if you objectively bad at it - no DDRJake perhaps, but neither are the 99.99999% of the population!
That sounds promising
DDRJake has an amazing story of how he flanks his mechanized army with nukes while fighting USA as Albania on American soil, only way he could keep his troops alive as he bee lined for New York. Rather.... inventive use of nukes.

PLEASE, include the square tactics for the portuguese (visighotic, maybe) culture. If you read about the battles of Atoleiros, or Aljubarrota, you'll know what Im saying...
Huh. I never figured you as the sort of individual that actually breathed.

Add tribes, revolt nerf, retinue nerf, India and nomads, and yes, post-TOG team changed everything in the game.
Not that I complain for all that changed, but it is a different more gamey game.
Three people have asked about the converter in this thread and yet every Paradox employee has avoided giving an answer.

They're already converting ck2 into eu4 so it's okay.

Yep, actually I've been called that at a company party since I became the first rival to Shams in competitions at company parties (we both love to win).
Reg. communicative PLs, in the beginning I will not have that much time to answer forum posts without literally working 24/7, but when I've become more efficient with my other work tasks I'm hoping to get more communicative in the forum, over time.

This, 1000 times this. The problem with raiding isn't the raiders. The problem with raiding is that the start in 769 makes it very unlikely to have the pagans convert in a reasonable amount of time. In my perfect CK timeline:
769-850 Charlemagne's Empire - Initial setup converts to "future" setup. Have titles that expire in some way (So more "West Francia" in 975) so that running these huge empires becomes a race against a clock of "I need to form France by 900 or my empire will start to fall apart!". Best suggestion: Titles that are significantly beyond their historical timeframe have ticking increases in "independence" faction revolts designed to bring the empire down. Also, titles have limits of when they can be created or usurped. So in theory, a Karling King of Middle Francia that has his only kingdom title disintegrating around him will eventually be a 1 province count that gets annexed by a larger realm.
850-1066 Viking Era - raiders like crazy. Once this era starts, the AI gets a flag telling them that the best way to stop the raiders is to convert them. I know once the raiding starts I send my Court Chaplain out to convert pagans like crazy. Also included should be "Christian creep" where counties border monotheistic religions.
1066-1453 Rise and Fall of Empires
