This is just a snapshot of the current state of the svn, it's playable on the latest version of CK2 and shouldn't have any major game-stopping bugs. There's a lot of WIP work but we've mostly moved on to CK3 ; it may well be that this is the last version for CK2 for the foreseeable future.

I'm afraid there's no changelog.

To install just unzip it into your mod folder.

Elder Kings does not require any DLC in order to run. However, it is compatible with every DLC. In addition, we recommend the following DLC in particular:

Celtic Portraits
Iberian Portraits
Mediterranean Portraits
Norse Portraits
Russian Portraits
Conclave
Jade Dragon
Legacy of Rome
The Old Gods
The Reaper's Due
The Republic
Sons of Abraham
Way of Life
Holy Fury

Ensure that your version of EK and CK2 are both up to date (or correspond to eachother), and that your Elder Kings is installed in the proper directory - *Documents\Paradox Interactive\Crusader Kings II\mod*. NOT the Steam directory!

Using both the latest version of each side. Unless this new version of EK is non-compatible with CK2 3.3.3 beta I don't know what else I'm doing wrong.

Unsubscribe from any beta
 
I'm having an odd problem. I did a clean CK2 install, just downloaded this file, installed it and everything seems to be working fine, except that the secret religious cult game rule doesn't appear. Anyone have any idea what could be wrong?
 
Delete everything in your "documents/paradox interactive/ crusader kins ii/" folder (Saving from the save files) and you're good to go (I guess, Since well, the rules are configured in the documents folder, not in the game, excluding it's interface and gfx stuff...)
 
Pretty depressing that you moved on to CKIII, but thanks for all the work you did.

Crusader Kings 3 has no merchant republics, no nomads etc, basically less features. Moving mod to a game with less features is just horrible.

MR are a mess that we considered removing, and we don't use nomads.
And last time I checked, we decided what game we would mod.

We like CK3, and have enjoyed working on its version of Elder Kings so far. We aren't going to stop because you think it's "just horrible".
