Rajas of india

If this IS some kind of ARG, I'm going to be legitimately hurt for a second or two, and then gasping in relief and rolling around laughing.

They probably need to write/film the first dev diary.

Tell me more about this strange land called Hindustan.

The inability to get your wife and kids out of jail is obnoxious, and it's slightly unrealistic to have chaplains that aren't bishops. But I would hardly call such items immersion-breaking. I mean, how realistic is it for characters to be transported from England instantly to the head of an army in Persia? Why is the supply limit for a province the same in summer versus winter? There are lots of minor issues like this, some more readily fixable than others. But if you want these quibbles fixed, then like I've been saying, you have to figure out a way to fund it. They've chosen an India DLC since they can't sell you a Court Chaplain DLC.

Yeah, and it's a bummer. I would like to see characters have to travel though. Not instantly.

I would have liked it if this had been announced April 1st.

There isn't any. All of this may be an ARG, really.

Unlikely, given there's actual gaming sites reporting this and not just randomness on the forum.


Unless PDox says otherwise, RoI looks to be the legit next expansion.

And THEN we can get something that adds depth to the rest of the world!

Ah, so it is a troll.

The only actual source I've seen so far is https://twitter.com/quill18 The rest seems to be based on this.

We can, but we'll probably get Australia instead.

If true, that's unfortunate. To create the caste system integrated in the game should be a challenge enough. Isn't the aim to expand CK2 player base with new Indian players?

The news are more less everywhere, the only thing missing is an official presentation.

It wouldn't be the first game announced worldwide that doesn't actually exist.

I'd say that my feelings are of hopeful anxiety. If done well, it will be great- a very interesting corner of the world, and very under-represented in gaming. There's no reason it shouldn't work- from my limited understanding of the regions history, while there were of course many differences from feudal Europe, it should fit the game's mechanics at least as well as the Muslim world or the Eastern Roman Empire (and far, far better than Steppe hordes). My concern is merely that this is an ambitious undertaking, and they will need to put a great deal of effort into it to do it justice.

Without navigable Red/Caspian sea this expansion's gonna be dead inside.

Edit: if this DLC is done right, it will cost like 100 euros...

Edit 2: FINALLY, Muslims will have someone to actually conquer and be able to rival the Christians.

I really hope this was one of those announcements

I thought Christians are in the game for Muslims to conquer.

 

[Solmyr2000]

Oh god what's up with this thread. People are angry because of... best news ever? :unsure:
And hey, if map expansion means more of Siberia, then it's instantly the best expansion.

mythical land

 

[spinoza013]

Surely having more land to the east will relieve pressure on the levant meaning longer lasting crusader states?
