Anybody playing Crusader Kings 2?

Yep Levies regen as soon as you pull them out.

Also its been hinted at SEVERAL times by the lead developer that there will be an expansion that fleshes out the Muslim, Mongol, Pagan cultures and makes them playable.

Just at release they focused on ONE culture and made it bug free for release as Paradox really wanted to beat that "wait until its patched before you buy it" cloud they had over all their games.

Also I have a swedish game in which I am the King and my entire kingdom is Norse... So we praise Odin and crush the christians... however the pope sends crusades against me all the time..

I commend them for wanting to release a fleshed out game, rather than a bunch of fragmented crap.

I read (somewhere) about muslim and pagan family structures being different than Christian ones (they didn't adhere to counties, and duchys, their system was different.) I guess they want to flesh it out. Which is better than releasing broken junk IMHO.

I guess they need something to put into the DLC, but Paradox is usually better than the huge gaming companies in terms of "bang for your buck"

I am biased though, I am a paradox fanboy. They make games that require a brain to play.

Oh boy! As if the homosexuality trait wasn't enough it seems he got the syphillus too...

Why do my sons always have to be so... Yechhhh... unappealing to the other countries...

Can I spawn a normal kid, or is it a product of Norwegian and German brides?

I will try inbreeding next, seems safest.

(disclaimer: I would love my real life son if he was gay, but I hate him in a game based on intrigue and reputation) I am no bigot outside the context of this game.

I've been meaning to put more time into the game, but I've spent most of my gaming time fixing my mod pack for MC, or messing about in it.

Wait until you get a Chaste, Homosexual, Ugly son... good luck having any diplomatic relations or an heir...

From Paradox rep: There are currently no achievements in the game, not by oversight, but intentional. They will come later, and by that, I don't mean in a hotfix, it will be a while. Sorry, I know lots of you enjoy achievements, I do too, but we had to focus elsewhere for this game to be as good as we could make it on release!

Just thought I'd post that if anybody was wondering, I was a little curious myself so I went to look for an answer.

Sheesh this can be frustrating. There is this apparently 1,000 years old English duke who periodically goes to war against the king of England to depose him, gets beaten badly, then waits and starts all over again. That one last county I want in Wales is his vassal. I have at least three times now tried to go to war with him when he is at war with the king to claim that county as my own, but as soon as I get my armies besieging his holdings, he makes peace with the king and then my war ends too, because the bloody king says vassals can't fight with each other.

It's an annoying stalemate. The king AI is too dumb to revoke the titles of that duke, apparently trusting that he won't start the next civil war after the, I don't know, fifth or sixth attempt at the same idiotic goal. The duke, on the other hand, will rather surrender to the king, spoiling his own little war, than make a separate peace with me and lose one county. Gah!!
