    New to Crusader Kings. Omg. This game.

    Thought I'd post this in case someone else is considering getting into CK, so they can read an immediate response from someone who's just started playing "properly".

    Have something like 170 hours clocked up. Downloaded vanilla last year during the first UK lockdown for something to kill the hours. Ended buying loads of the dlc but played little as restrictions started easing. Recently got back into it due to needing time off PhD studies and sports because of sickness.

    In the last week I've played it more or less non-stop. When not playing it, been listening to podcasts on medieval European history, something I'm now totally obsessed with because of CK2.

    What a bloody belter of a game this is. My recommendation for anyone considering the CK games is to get them - try out CK2 for free, plus the dlc (which you can get via 5 pounds a month). But chances are you're going to fall in love with it very quickly. Especially if you love a game with story and are willing to use imagination to utilise game mechanics to build your own. I mean, I'm very much stuck in my ways in terms of gaming - been playing the same few series' since the early 00s and CK2 has shoved its way onto that select list.

    What I love is that build your own story element. It's essentially crafting your own GoT saga. Well, you get to build several long stories over the course of making your own dynastic epic tale.

    Each Duke, King or Queen and Emperor you play as through the game has his or her own story.

    I've had a politically progressive Muslim Queen of Ireland, returning from being exiled by her Catholic fundamentalist mother, who united Ireland after a 70 year long civil war between Ashkenazi Jews and Irish Catholics. She led huge technological and political reforms that equalised the landscape. I've had a King who gained the lunatic and cruel traits and imprisoned his own sister to use as a personal breeding factory while conducting anti-Christian genocides. I've had spineless cowards as rulers who were forced into hiding while their highly ambitious regent power-grabbed. I've seen entire empires rise and then fall. I've seen Catholic-Orthodoc alliances form in the face of Pagan terror. I've seen Pagans and Christians create strong bonds, only for them to be utterly destroyed by the next generation. I've seen neat, aesthetically pleasing borders fall into absolute gore.

    Get. This. Game.

    Little details like this are why I love CK3

    CK2 is much better than CK3, but there's one thing that stops me from coming back to it...

    Posted: 29 Jun 2021 01:53 PM PDT

    It's the portraits, man.

    CK2 is honestly much superior in terms of content than its sequel. I understand it has like fifty DLCs and so the comparison is unfair, but it has so much of these random flavour events that pop up regularly, and I feel like it actually has better writing than CK3.

    But whenever I play CK2 I'm always reluctantly forced to go back to CK3 because of the terrible character portraits. In CK3 your character looks like an actual person, is unique, and seems living and breathing.

    In CK2 the character portraits are extremely ugly, limited when it comes to customisation, and overall horrible. Before CK3 came out I had no problem with these portraits, but after that I can't bear to look at them.

    Does anyone have any mod recommendations for CK2 portraits?

    This game can be so cathartic sometimes

    Posted: 29 Jun 2021 12:29 PM PDT

    I am currently playing a kind of Cisalpine Switzerland Witch Coven run (I am not quite sure where it is heading) and had the most cathartic, beautiful moment since I started playing the game last year.

    My fourth character just unexpectedly died of old, leaving the Kingdom of Helvetia to its first female ruler, with no alliances nearby and a nobility filled with pretenders. I expected to start the game for real with her, founding a matriarchal religion and perhaps founding a new empire. Before even I could secure more land for her demesne or some alliances, I got a notification that someone was plotting against me. It made sense: I had three factions bordering civil war and a court full of strangers. Two weeks later, my fifth character died at 28 years old, leaving two unmarried children to control what was the only Cathar kingdom in Europe.

    I continued playing as a fourth year old and faced two claimants, an invasion from the HRE in which I was captured and forced to give in my main duchy (leaving my realm fragmented into five ridiculous counties) and constantly bullied by who were probably my mother's murderers.

    Then, the Cat Pet narrative triggered, and I got one which was useful to get good stats and all. When I was bankrupt (-300) he kept giving me 2 gold coins, which was cute but not really useful. Within the decade, I had pacified the realm and secured an alliance to recover my Savoy duchy, but then I got an event: my cat revealed me who murdered my mother.

    It was not particularly usefut. The cat dropped a letter which incriminated some Russian refugee I took in my court as my fourth ruler. He probably had the help of numerous agents (the % of success for my murder was 95), but they were all executed or banished by that moment, or had become vassals of the HRE when they conquered Savoy. But man, it was rewarding. I felt calm, and it was cathartic, as in a film with a satisfying but bittersweet climax. My heir had now unified the country again, knew what happened to her mother and guardian, and all thanks to his only friend, his cat Kapurr.

    The game really has its beautiful moments, Long Live the Witch Dominion of Helvetia.

    Kill the Serial Killer Event

    Posted: 29 Jun 2021 12:50 PM PDT

    Even with 22 intrigue ruler and a 28 intrigue spymaster, the serial killer event has killed off nearly my entire family, twice, in one play through. It's too much. Dial it back or better off remove it. Sunset Invasion felt better balanced.
