I want... must have CKII!! Why you show us this?![]()
Kallocain got the highest score, but SolSara may have expanded the most, plus transformed Bohemia into a kingdom. Johan also expanded nicely from a one-province minor to a large duchy (though most of it came from inheriting his father). Funny side note is that Johan wasn't planning on playing OPM Baden, he was just clicking around on the map when King suddenly started the game. Two of our visiting fans both started in Poland and spent a lot of the time fighting and plotting against each other. Then one of them broke out of Poland, joined the HRE and thought he would launch an attack against the Polish crown from there, only to find himself now attacked by several of the other HRE vassal, King and SolSara inculded...
Our third guest played as Lombardia and found out the hard way that mercenaries are very expansive and wars hard to win. It took him three tries before he could subdue Mathilda of Tuscany. All in all it looked like a fun session.

I'm jealous of you Scandanavians and your proximity to PI headquarters.
The winners of the come-play-multiplayer-with-the-devs-competition is here right now playing. Great afternoon at the office!

That's me with the purple sweater, playing Lombardia. Haven't really played the original CK that much, I've always preferred Vicky, EU and HOI. But I must say CK2 will certainly change this.
Not too easy to get into in the beginning, but that is probably because it is a bit difficult to learn a game while playing MP with devs and not having the possibility to pause the game at all. But after a while I was marrying away daughters left and right, setting up plots and expanding lombardian influence over the northern italian peninsula.
It was great fun!
