(HTT)Why is King of Bohemia no longer neither HRE emperor nor elector in 1399?

[Darkrenown]

Yeah, started with HUN in my game too. Semi-random starting Emp, I guess.

 

[Darkrenown]

Can't be, starting rules/dynastys are scripted, so they're always the same.

 

[Darkrenown]

You seriously always want everything to be exactly historical? If, and note the if, they have put some randomness into the starting Emp it makes for an interesting change.

 

[Darkrenown]

The starting points of the game should be historical yes. Youd think paradox would of learned via the disaster that is HOI3 and im guessing soon to be victoria 2.

HoI3 had historical starts, so I'm not sure what you're getting at.

I guess you wouldnt oppose having House Harkonnen rule either...well i have different preferences...

Yes. Being ok with a different powerful european country starting as the Emperor is exactly the same as being ok with wanting House Harkonnen and laser guns in EU. That was a well thought out and reasonable reply

Alternate response: zomg, u want history = read a book!!!1

Seriously though, the game isn't on rails. It's a strategy game with a historic setting, it's not a simulation nor a reenactment. Given that, it doesn't seem unreasonable to slightly vary the starting condictions if indeed that is the case and this isn't a bug. Perhaps we could find out if this is even intended before you jump on your high horse.

 

[Darkrenown]

Why would it not be a bug though? In the Demo Austria is always the HRE, and the electors always stay the same.

I just said it might be intended and Duke jumped on it with his "omg sandbox hell" stuff. It may well just be a bug.

 

[Doomdark]

It's a bug. Sounds like a history problem after changing start dates.

 

[Darkrenown]

Changing this would be a bad design decision in my eyes no matter how little YOU care about history.

Good lord. Look, just because I wouldn't mind a little randomness in the startup doesn't mean I hate history. There's a middle-ground between agreeing with you and wanting pewpew lasers. When you play do you use historical monarchs/leaders/advisors? No? Is that because you "DON'T CARE ABOUT HISTORY AND PROBABLY WANT DINOSAUR-LASER CAVARLY" or because the game is more enjoyable without them?

Hehe "tipu sultan rocket infantry" is actually in the game (or it was in IN anyway, haven't checked in HTTT) Though that's historical.
