I demand a special Finnish Tourist CB that lets the Finns form free doomstacks with bonus to martial but malus to diplomacy due to the amount of alcohol drunk before the war and then use them to invade any coastal city along the Mediterranean. Paradox, fix or do sumfink!

LOL you'd just get blitzed by the doomstacks of Brits and Germans. You have to get up very early to get one of those seats by the pool.

I'm aware of that, reason I put it above it's funny if it's a April's fools joke but with Paradox you never know.

That's a DLC I would happily pay for. That can't be said from, for example, Sunset Invasion.

Aaah, excellent, the long awaited Mongol hordes pack!

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.

Uh, not that I don't appreciate the new patch's improvements, but I'm seriously starting to miss the days when we only had the HRE and the ERE and not every single little piece of insignificant piece of backwater land was called "empire" (in the game's terms, that is: on the other hand I would be all for localized titles and have an Irish count call himself an emperor if he so wanted to.)

I mean, empire of Italy?! Which is exactly the same geographical area as the Kingdom of Italy that doesn't even include the whole peninsula because half of it belongs to de jure ERE. Mini empires of Carpathia and Wendish empire? And once these are formed, I'm supposed to believe they are equal with the Byzantine emperor in Constantinople? Yeah.

I wish Paradox would finally just implement the system in which anyone with enough king titles, land and prestige could form an empire and it would be called the empire of whatever his primary title is. I wonder when we finally get the de jure empire of Ireland, since every second CK2 player seems to be King of Ireland.

Oh, and T + 1 and the game has already been declared unplayable due to ToG.

I'm new here and just got this game at the last Steam sale. Guess I need to give it a go. Enjoyed reading this thread.

WE ARE THE BORG

Moral of the story: being able to holy war pretty much the entire rest of the world is hilariously broken.
