Wow! When I saw the thread title, I actually had to double-check the date to make sure it wasn't April 1st. I really look forward to this.

Just give me back a reasonable means to assassinate people.

Plots make so little sense, a truly tyrannical lord would not consult with peons, they would drop the dosh to do the deed and get it done straight away.

Whoa, didn't expect it...so soon.
I hope fixing the residual 2.2.1 bugs will come first, but I'm really intrigued by this announcement. It was about time.

Just...do not mess it up, Paradox.

Yeah. First thing that caught my eye was that there's a patch. "Good", I thought. Then I read that there's also another DLC, with beta (not even alpha) starting next week. "What", I thought (though I'm not sure if the beta is for the patch only or the DLC as well). I dearly hope they don't want another 15€ for this. It sounds more like a side-project of sorts and mainly for flavour, so 5€ maybe?
In general though, the idea of Crusader Sims 2 is what made me abandon Total War for this game, so it sounds pretty sweet. And 2.3 has the chance to be a great patch.

HA-HA! (opens wallet ...)

The last two forum posts I have read, the announcement of the officializing of Meneth's wikis and this one about a user beta of a CKII release address head-on the two most annoying issues I have with Paradox: namely, the sheer difficulty of trying to bring new people into playing the necessarily complex lineup of grand strategy games, and the problem of the remaining CKII team being just too small to produce bug-free (or relatively bug-free anyway) DLCs.

Paradox, you are a well run-company. Two thumbs up to you from the great, boring, American Midwest.

Now this is a good inward expansion for this great game, now we only need a late era dlc for Late Middle Ages (a new start date: maybe 1370, late era events, mechanics, unit models, clothes etc.)
