Speculation (and Wishes) for the new DLC

[Emp. Theodosius]

Hey guys!

As we know, the next DLC will be focused on death and sicknesses.

Here's what we know so far:

Screams and torture sounds (grimacing!).

Multiple kinds of sicknesses now, not just ill or depressed.


Since it's still in development, let's give the guys at Paradox a few suggestions to add with the DLC. Here's mine:

Reworked plots: Not just probability, now there are event chains for your plots, which make it more interesting.

More ways to kidnap someone, and more reasons to imprison someone.

Torture chambers! Give more ways to torture people, other than blind and castrate, which can give new traits such as 'one-handed' and give negative modifiers to the ruler. These could also have their own branch of laws to determine what is 'legal' or not.

More unique type of duels, with special event chains, which make duels more unique.

Let's get these suggestions rolling!

I'd be a total fan of a reworked, more interactive plotting system that isn't simply hoping that people would help your cause and waiting.

And more ways to murder someone. That's also great!

I shall inquest my rival in torture chamber till he admit he is a heretic

I'm going to be the annoying one by saying that the next DLC should make every county that is visible on the map playable, regardless of government type. Yes, I basically mean a Theocracy/Inland Republic DLC.

 

[Burned Coffee]

Theocracies are boring. But that's like, my opinion man.

About the DLC, I don't know why but I think it is specifically about the inquisition, Which would be great because it would add unique events to the later dates.

fix gavelkind

Simply cause it can't go without mentioning, but we want China...

I would be happy with Tibet.

 

[kmh42]

I would like to see naval gameplay, like in mare nostrum for EUIV. But currently DDs make me think that it's going to be a more roleplayish DLC, which is also very nice!

Isn't China one of the largest and most centralized empires in the world? And if you're looking into Charlemagne or Old Gods, it's the Tang Dynasty, one of the most expansive and stable dynasties in Chinese history.

In Stamford Bridge era it's occupied by the Song, also historically a fairly stable dynasty, on top of gunpowder and the like.

I don't know how'd you balance them to not blob out of control every game, especially since they would also suppress Constantinople as the undisputed tech hotspot of the game.

Late game era military tech focusing on the transition from part time feudal cavalry based levies / retinues to professional gunpowder based armies. Cadet branches (which can be playable if your main line goes extinct) and naval warfare to be included in the accompanying patch.

I'll end this post with the phrase, "Sinis oportet quod".

 

[BOOMER BOOM! MAN!]

I think they might add new minor titles to go with the 'Court Physician.' I went into some detail on it in this.

Perhaps with these new execution methods we'll see a new authority/fear system.

For the people commenting on intrigue, here's a related thread I started: https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/intrigue-enhancement.917865/
I will add that killing important people is one of the things that should really get you excommunicated.

I would like to see a fear mechanic. If my character did some atrocities, people around him should have a certain dose of fear towards him. As of now, it's far better to be a "good guy" and adhere to everyone's demands. If you are ruthless, you will most certainly have revolts. In the best case, people will give less gold.

I think this would be great with laws regarding torture and executions. You could incure negative modifiers. Like if you hang draw and quarter the neighbor King, his vassals might not like you very much, and your own might be disgusted with it if it's outlawed in your realm.

I don't think they'll add China for technical reasons. All the extra characters from adding India already strain weaker computers. (Not a problem on either of mine, but some people play CK2 on a toaster.)

Since all important decisions were already made, let's give the guys at Paradox a few suggestions?

My wish?

I wish it won't be shit.

I hope they will improve portraits and culture/religion flavour events
