I'm thinking of starting a CK2 1337 game that I will convert to EU IV once Common Sense is out, However I need to know if the Converter will work when Common Sense is launched first.
Will the converter work at Common Sense launch

I say they should make a separate team to handle updating, maintaining and expanding the converter. More people might buy it/use it if it didn't feel incomplete.

It would also make the 1337 scenario in CK 2 more attractive, since the only reason I'd ever play it is to convert the save to EU IV,

That's extremely doubtful. There quite simply isn't a big enough team to keep the converter consistently updated. If we're lucky, it'll be ready a a few months or so after CS is released.
It's more a matter of them charging money for a dlc that only works 1/10 of the time.

It is quite insulting to the customers to keep selling a product that simply doesn't work. If Paradox doesn't want to support the converter and make it work for the current version of the game they should stop selling it and refund everyone who bought it already.
If this was some free little thing I woudln't be too upset, but a huge reason I got so excited about EU4 and pre-ordered was because of the converter. I wasn't even that interested in CK2 but I bought both because the idea of playing from medival times to Napoleonic times really sold me. The converter never worked too great, screwed up german cultures pretty bad, and had a bunch of other understandable quirks that I always assumed would be fixed since it was paid content. I thought "finally, a proper Paradox made converter, not some fan project, and a paid piece of DLC so that I can be confident it will be refined and kept up to date". But it seems to have been mostly abandoned. Never improved, just sometimes a bit of time put into it to get it barely working with the latest expansion but that's it.
I think a lot more people would use it and play vast CKII to EU4 games if the converter was improved, and then that improved converter was better marketed.

Seeing all these CK2 and EU4 expansions and upgrades with changes to core mechanics, the converter will need a major effort to work properly and of course needs to be adjusted with every single patch that comes out for both of these games. But yeah, as long as they're selling it, it needs to work.

They're planning on adding a fort system to CK2 and EUIV in waves -- EUIV gets them with Common Sense, CK2 with Horse Lords. I make a note of that, because it seems a signal that they plan to bring the games more in line with one another. That would function as a "stabilizing" presence for the converter, imo, and hopefully means the forts you build up in CK2 will transition okay for EUIV. Everything else, well....give it time, we'll see.

Almost certainly the converter will not. We'll have to wait for the first major CK2 patch after Common Sense's release, that's usually when the converter is updated.
We waited several patches for the Rajas of India cultures to actually work in the converter. So I'm going to say no.

CK2 forts are just a temporary holding you can build (like trade posts) that the enemy will have to siege down first, pretty sure they don't block movement
We're aiming to either have it updated on launch day or within a couple days of launch.

Did you record Groogy's anguished screams when you told him that?

Paradox: So we're gonna need the converter working by the end of the day Groogy.
