Just a thought about the map

[Pink Zeppelin]

I was thinking about the Sunset Invasion, and I have always wondered why the Americas, or at least some parts of them were never added into the game. It would have been so awesome if you could play as one of them or even launch an invasion of them once the Aztecs have been dealt with. I also have always wanted to march into China at the head of a huge army, and make it part of my Afro-Eurasian empire.

So, why has nobody made a mod that adds the rest of the world in, or why has Paradox never released these territories? It would be so awesome! Just imagine the carnage of a Shang dynasty army facing off against a horde of Old-Gods-Worshipping-Anglisc-Speaking-Sea-Faring marauders! It would be hilarious.

The problem with that is that there are none of the same family and character mechanics, and Vic3 is not even on an announced schedule yet. Also, this is a serious or somewhat "it's been kinda bugging me" thread, I really wanted to invade the Americas, or go even further than India and into China.

Americas might get added at one point..or not. Development happens once in a while, occasionaly.

Thank you, this is perfect.

By the by, what was the "do you want to get lynched" part about?

What it was about ?
Asking for a map expansion, which was plentiful discussed on this forum already and by now officialy denied to be done in CK2 again by the developers.
Its' consequences for performance can be quite devastating. I'm not in this thread to discuss this.
Some people might not react kindly to such suggestion, though nowadays we know the devs won't do it, so...
A jest refering to the next DLC.

If you wish to get lynched in reality or roasted on this forum, sorry.
I'm not offering such services.
Cheers

I am relatively new to the CK2 forums, so I did not know about them saying no to it and it never turned up in any searches for mods. The mods I found were not very good.

Mods ? Plural ? I only know of the above i linked.

Apart from that:
Somewhat "Tianxia : Silk Road Expansion" , though i was under the impression its China only.
Other map based overhaul mods are standalone specifically only North americas (the one with the future scenario) and Japan (NMIH; which is also on the Steam Workshop).

Other special map mods are in the area we already got. Improving or specialising on some area.
Like The Winter King or the War of the Roses (renamed now) mod focus on the british isles (Alba) and northern France.

Oh believe me, you don't have to say you're new - I could already tell you were by your topic, lol. One of the biggest point of contention among CKII veterans is the inclusion of additional countries. The reason is because they add nothing new to the overall experience and only serve to bog down the performance in a time where some are already complaining about poor performance. Furthermore, if Paradox were to add playable Aztecs, it's likely they would lack profound features to make them feel like Aztecs (case in point: Paradox's treatment of India). There are too many other feature requests that fans are prioritizing (enemy AI, more Crusade emphasis, performance, etc.)

If you want to get heavily down voted, try making a topic about adding China and see what happens, which is why I find it even more hilarious you mentioned invading China. For someone who is new, you are great at trolling, lol.

If they want to add more map they need to optimize the game engine. It is really clunky.

I did not mean to troll, but thanks.

I think I am going to stop watching this thread now, thank you to everyone who helped me in here, also sorry for not knowing the history of the subject.

While CKII is an alternative history game, I don't think it is that much alternative. There are mods, and you can always go to EU. I know it is not the same game, but..

I get where you are coming from, according to the twelve down votes, people do not want it to be expanded anymore. Also on a side not, how do you stop watching a thread?

Personally, I'd say break the map into smaller chunks and let you pick among them which would allow them to extend the map a bit in certain areas. If you're playing in Britain and aren't a WC type player you don't really want India bogging your game down...

Don't open it. It'll stop showing up in your alerts.
