Eeergh, zombie thread from the grave! BRAAAINS!!!
Ahem. The Old Gods and the Patch 1.10 have been released apparently. The patch looks pretty promising at least (see notes
here, it's too long to copy/paste). I briefly checked out the new technology system and it seems like an improvement, especially when your ruler's stats effect how many of each "points" you get and the learning stat seems finally useful. Time to fire up CK 2 again (as if I didn't have too many games on my plate already...)
As for the Old Gods, I think I'll be waiting for a sale. Because if the old omens are true, its development among the official forum's fanbase is as follows:
(T = The release date of the new DLC)
T minus 28: "OMG OMG OMG THIS IS GOING TO BE THE BEST THING EVER I'M NEVER GOING TO PLAY ANYTHING ELSE ANYMORE!!!!111"
T minus 15: "OMG OMG OMG WHY ISN'T IT RELEASED ALREADY??!! WHO ARE YOU GUYS GOING TO PLAY AS? I WANT TO BE A MUSLIM VAMPIRE VIKING ARAB MONGOL HORSE ARCHER!!!!!"
T minus 10: "Is it here yet, is it here yet??!!"
T minus 5: "Paradox, when is the new DLC released??!!"
T minus 1: "OMG OMG OMG IT'S ALMOST HERE!!! SACKING GARDEN OF EDEN AS A HALF DRAGON PRETZEL WITH HORNED HELMET, HERE I COME!!!"
T: "IS IT HERE YET IS IT HERE YET??!! I'M GOING TO START 1000000TH THREAD ASKING IS IT HERE YET!!!!!"
T plus 1: "OMG this so great!! Anyone else ever raid as vikings??!! Or am I the only one who ever does that??!! OMG!!!"
T plus 5: "WTFBBQ, I got raider by vikings??!! I think I should report this on the bug reports forum!!"
T plus 10: "OMG the vikings are totally OP and there isn't enough content for the Cheesepuffians in this DLC!! Paradox fix or do sumfink!!"
T plus 15: "ZOMGBOMB where's the patch?! This game is totally unplayable with the OP Pagans owning my county of Zobbaladoo!"
T plus 20: "PARADOOOOX! NERF THE VIKINGS!! THEY'RE MEAN!!"
T plus 25: "Paradox didn't deliver the promises I gave myself three months before this DLC was released! This is BS!"
T plus 28: "Paradox, when is the next DLC going to be released? We still haven't the peasant turnips playable and this game is totally lacking playable peasant turnips!"
T plus Something: countless of threads demanding playable peasant turnips until Paradox finally agrees to do it and we are back to T minus 28.
