Map timelaps

[Kaiserschmoan]

Those of you who played the Sid Meier's Civilization games might know the feature where after the victory screen you can watch all of your statistics summarized in charts and also watch a short timelapse of the map seeing the world change throughout the time.

My question is: How difficult would it be to implement this kind of timelapse feature in CK3 for the final scoreboard after 1452?

I always loved watching it after a long Civ V game and it would fit perfectly for the CK world in my opinion. Especially when you start out as a small independent count and grow into a mighty empire or watch an abbasidblob explode or the mongols rolling into europe. I have no clue about modding and programming so I don't know how hard this actually is.

It would definetly be interesting,
I’m not a coder, but in Ck2 they had a history for every title and province, so I think as long as they keep that it shouldn’t be difficult to implement into the game. If not on base game it can probably be modded in without much difficulty.

This would be a cool feature and it shouldn't be too hard. In CK2 the game kept track of title histories and a timelapse would just need to compile that information.

I would be prefer a proper chronicles feature over a map timelapse.

I would be prefer a proper chronicles feature over a map timelapse.

I’d like both.

I’d like both.

If both are good of course

I would love both.

And I think Paradox can also take inspiration from the amazing EU4 "Satisfying Ending" mod where it displays a an event with a fine send-off/farewell to the player about the legacy of your empire, your successes and failures, and how you'll be remembered in future based on current condition...if you play the game to the very end. Paradox could take inspiration, expand it further in the context of dynasties and characters, and it would be amazing.

CK2 had something like this in the form of dynastic score comparison and Chronicles. The former was extremely limited, only to a few dynasties and wasn't expanded since release date...while the latter was a great idea implemented in the a pathetic, garbage way. If they are done right they are also going to be really amazing.

I would in fact love it if all these features make it into the game. Makes playing to the end much more motivating. A timelapse of your play, a dynamic end-game event about your legacy (i.e. victory type for some), a chronicle record of your dynasty, and a score comparison with other dynasties in the game and your best characters in a hall of fame-esque window.

I've always wanted a Civ-style timelapse summary in CK2. While CK's primary focus isn't map painting, it is a major result of character action. Watch those top-level titles shrink, expand, move, change colours. After hours of campaigning, we'd still be associating those colour shifts with all sorts of characters and stories.
