I figured it out: The next DLC is India. Posted: 11 Mar 2021 02:19 AM PST I actually figured this out the day the dev diary came out, but have not had time to post about it until now. I'm sure someone else has also figured it out already, as it literally took me 20 minutes of Googling and reading through Wikipedia articles. In the new dev diary, the devs dropped hints about content that will presumably be included in the upcoming DLC. The hint that this subreddit had already latched on to was this one:
So it appears that the new DLC content has something to do with crocodiles. In the comment section people had different ideas for what this could mean: Some thought this was referring to a coliseum battle and so a possible Roman/Byzantine DLC, while others made the suggestion that [REDACTED] was the word "Holmgang", which is basically a type of duel unique to Viking culture, suggesting a possible Viking DLC. The problem with the first theory is that the fights being described in the diary are outdoors. That rules out a coliseum battle, which would be indoors. The problem with the second theory is that it doesn't account for why crocodiles would be showing up at these fatal [REDACTED] duels. As someone pointed out, crocodiles showing up would mean that the redacted content either takes place in Egypt, Sub-Saharan Africa, or India. But there's another problem with this theory that people didn't seem to notice: These [REDACTED] duels are fatal, while historically medieval dueling in Europe was non-fatal in the vast majority of instances, and this includes Viking Holmgangs. More evidence that the redacted content includes uniquely fatal duels can be found in the dev Q&A:
This narrowed it down quite a bit. All I had to do was research the history of dueling in Egypt, Africa, and India, and then find which region had a history of fatal dueling during the middle ages. A quick glance at the history of dueling Wikipedia page will tell you that this region is India. Not only that, but I'm almost certain [REDACTED], at least in the first quote, is the word "Ankam". To quote the Wikipedia page on ankam directly:
So basically, in the upcoming CK3 expansion, you will be able to designate someone in your court with high prowess as your "Chekavar". Disputes with other nobles, such as territorial claims, can be settled through fatal ankam duels in which the Chekavars of the two nobles fight to the death, as opposed to settling the dispute through a possibly much more costly war. I don't think the [REDACTED] in the second dev quote is necessarily the word ankam however. I think that may just be "India". In contrast to the Europeans and the Vikings, medieval duels in India were typically fatal even when they didn't involve Chekavars. And so, I believe only Indian cultures will have consistent access to the fatal duel option. But why does this lead me to the greater conclusion that the new DLC will be India focused? Well, first of all, the devs have already said that the first DLC will largely be a flavor-focused one, and imo, the area of the map most lacking in flavor is India, especially when considering just how much of a world powerhouse India was during this time period and the extreme richness of its culture. There's a whole lot of stuff that can be added to make this area of the map more fleshed-out, and that's more so true for this area of the map than any other in my opinion. But what fully convinced me was this line from the dev Q&A:
To say that they wanted to have it be available for more than just [REDACTED] implies to me that the duel system was initially devised for the redacted content, and since we now know the redacted content is a special type of Indian duel, this probably means the new DLC is one focused on India. Why would you devise a whole dueling system for something if it's not going to be DLC content? EDIT: Upon further research, it seems that Southeast Asia is also a strong possibility. In Indonesia they had special types of duels to the death called sitobo lalang lipa that were used to settle disputes, and they have crocodiles. It's also a DLC that seems much more worthwhile than an Indian content pack, as it adds an entire new region to the map. [link] [comments] | ||

Who has the better claim to England 1066? Posted: 11 Mar 2021 04:00 AM PST I'm American so I'm sorry if I'm wrong I'm just trying to learn. My understanding is that Cnut the Great (same Cnut from The Last Kingdom) is an ancestor of Harold Godwinson (therefore House Godwin is considered Danelaw). William the Conqueror's claim to England came from his relation to Edward the Confessor. Edward the Confessor is a descendant of Alfred the Great, therefore he is of House Wessex. Obviously William was Norman and a descendant of Rollo but his claim to England's throne is stronger when you compare it to the Godwinsons (Anglo Saxon vs. Danes). So the Battle of Hastings was just another battle of Anglo Saxons versus Danes or am I missing the point? [link] [comments] |
