Some of the earliest Developer Diaries for Conclave suggested that we would be able to engage in various hedgehog-related diplomacy actions with other rulers during the course of our game.

However, not one bit of the DLC announcement mentioned this! In fact, I'd dare to say that the option is already being scrapped, in favor of such frivolous mechanics like Realm Laws and Council Mechanics.

I must say I respectfully disagree with the direction this DLC has turned!

I want to apologize as the hedgehog mechanics proved too much to properly model and do justice so it is with a very heavy heart I am forced to put it aside for now. However! I have compensated you by another feature which however is not yet ready to be revealed but it does involve completely new graphics, interactions and fixed a big glaring issue that has been in the game for way too long. Should hopefully make you happy until you can get true hedgehogs in the game.

You'll know it when you see it.

edit: Also hopefully this gif will sooth you

Also, keep in mind many things are actually free with the patch that they will release. As they have always done.

More than likely this will the diplomatic side of things.

Well, at least you're able to admit when you !@#$ed up. Hopefully next time you won't make the same mistake. ;)

Hedgehog mechanichs? What was that about?

It's what was foretold, but we were not yet worthy to gaze upon the majesty of our Hedgehogs Overlords. Such a divine sight would surely blind and madden all unwashed heathens and non-believers. Only the blessed few by the Hedgehogs could withstand such a glory...



Seriously though, there was just some placeholder localisation in one of dev diary teasers which caused some "serious" hedgehog/secret bear speculation and discussion:

Time to start guessing...

Complaints that keep coming up:
  • Seduction
  • Blob stability
  • Over/underpowered hordes
  • Bad performance
  • Flanders not in France
  • Lack of playable theocracies
So, blob stability is already being addressed in the new DLC, Mongols got a boost in the patch, better performance does not really count as a feature, neither does moving Flanders to France. And theocracies have again and again been said never to be included. So, because it comes with new graphics and interactions, I deduce they can only be doing something really graphical and detailed to replace seduction... CK2: Kama Sutra?

That is actually a really good idea, wished I had come up with that.
Should have existed within the timeframe as well.
