Leaders

Well in real life not every kingdom always had good leaders. Some realms had mediocre or even poor leaders.

Are good leaders always tied into their stats or is there some other factor?

The reason I ask is that sometimes one of my courtiers with really lame stats claims they can be a better steward (or whatever) than my current one. If the stats are lower, I either tell them 'my current steward is good enough' or I exile them if they have really low stats and/or are a bastard. Is this a sound strategy?

Thanks

I believe those events take into account traits and education. Your sons will also want positions regardless of their merits.

I would like to have (moddable or optional) a feudal mode where offices and titles revert to the crown after the office-holder dies. That way the game could be extended further back into the carolingian era. Also a mode where you can have something like the anglo-saxon and germanic kingship model discussed earlier in the thread (agreement of the Witan or Kronrat needed to secure the crown for your heir).

Loyal vassals would offer their titles to their liege rather than their heir first and by allowing the heir the title he would gain a loyal vassal but contribute to the growth of the hereditary aristocracy. The sword returned to Baligant sort of thing. as someone mentioned on the last page if Republics could be created as with bishoprics would be brilliant. Also, Witan witan Witenagemot Witan Witan.

I don't know if this has been mentioned, but I would like to see a three-tiered system of titles of duchy-kingdom-empire. Such as Galicia-Leon-Hispania, Sussex-England-Britannia, Athens-Greece-Byzantium and so forth.

That's ahistorical.
I would keep two empire titles - East Roman and West Roman.

 

[ZhugeKongming]

Ahistorical, certainly. But at the least it should be a moddable option.

Sorry, just catching onto this thread, but is a CK 2 in the works? Or just a pipe dream?

Pipedream. There's no evidence that Paradox is working on anything of the sort, and a few people talking it up isn't going to make a company jump that needs thousands of copies sold to break even.

Still, this thread hasn't killed any endangered wildlife, so why stop it?

Paradox is working on something, no outsider know what it is yet though... (just the code name; Project Mayhem).

Come on, Johan. Reward us faithful!

I cannot explain how ecstatic I would be over the announcement of a CK2. Truly. The only game I've anticipated more is Spore. And probably Master of Magic and MoO2 way back when.

 

[TempestDK]

oh man ... a week from now, I will know if I should cry from deep sorrow or pure elation ....

Johan, you know what you want ... CK2!!!

So because Paradox is working on a game, that means they're working on CK2? I can't exactly put my finger on it, but I think there's a flaw in that logic, somewhere.

CK does have a little place in my heart but I would much prefer Vicky 2

Noticed that, didcha? I'd honestly love for it to be a CK2. But given the poor (and largely uncomprehending) critical reception given to the original game, and the small number of posts compared to EU3 or Rome, I have to think Paradox would put their effort into doing a title that focused on nations again, rather than personalities. Which is too bad--but there it is.

Numerous Spanish kings declared themselves Emperor of Hispania.

Yap. Next week we know if our dreams will come true. Personally, I don't believe in it; I think, they will do a HOI III or a totally new game.

Anyway, I keep my fingers crossed.
