They were amazing, portraits in KoH2 are step backward. I see shapeless and blurry faces, like in Lords of the Realm, which I played like 20 years ago. I am absolutely attached to portraits of KoH1, and there was no really need to change them completely, just add more icons.

Isto i kod mene, druže. Prvi susret sa igricom 2007. godine na fakultetu. Prvi pick Serbia, odma rat sa Bugarskom, kao juče da je bilo... Posle toga Vizantija, oko 1000te godine - u tom trenutku sam baš spremao ispit Istorija Vizantije i baš sam se primio. Sećam se silnog razočarenja kad sam shvatio da nemaju Patrijarha, pa sam ovde u jednoj temi predložio da se u ovoj verziji to ispravi, rekoše da je to već urađeno. Posle toga sam igrao sa još mnogim državama, bukvalno sam je igrao nekoliko meseci bez prestanka.

I am not quite sure how the World map will work, but here is my suggestion: For example, Trebizond, as shown in map above this post, was a surviving part of Byzantine empire, and it consisted of several surrounding cities. Game would be much more fun if it looked similar to this. Creating a micro-world inside one smal state/province would be awesome. In KOH1 one could conquer for Bdin to Vienna in a relatively short time. My proposal - break the large provinces into little pieces so that world map change slowly and then it would be more realistic. I suggested something similar earlier in my topic Papacy Adding islamic holy places was a good idea Middle East - besides Jerusalem and Antioch, maybe there should be Acre, Edessa Balkan Adriatic cost - I also asked this earlier, will there be a slavic city state Dubrovnik? What about Hanseatic League? Malta maybe? As a player I injoyed a conquest, but after a while, I mostly liked playing within a historical boundaries of my state with a few territories conquered. Playing like that could lead to a problem, because you have to conquer a lot to have all kingdom advantages, so when playing with Jerusalem, you have to conquer in Balkans for example to obtain all desired advantages. Make all buildings possible to build in every town - creating a microworld within your state. One offtopic - playing with pagan nations was quite boring, because no bonuses are obtained, and no clerics are available (shamans could be added).

Hvala na podršci, druže! Pozdrav 😀

Are pictures of members of royal court gonna look like as those above? If they do, then they are awfull. Can we keep the old ones instead? Just add some new... Damn, that dark behind them is horrific...

I didn't know that. 🧐

It is not a cheat. Just press + button a few times and it will speed up the game from 0,5 to 8.

I agree! Old icons/pictures of female/male nobility were awesome! I m quite atttached to them! Appearance of the Wolrd Map is troublesome also! State name letters should be more stylish!

I suggest one more option - to choose one member of Royal Court (cleric, merchant, marshall, diplomat or spy) as advisor/majordomo (mayor of the palace). Choosing one of these is choosing foreign policy and by choosing him we multiply chances in succes in that field. For other kingdoms it can be chosen randomly. He may have his own slot color different from others. His role can also be inheriting the throne after king dies childless. In that way we can not only choose heir, but preventing several things such as: skilled marshal becoming kings and then aging and eventually dying chaos and anarchy leading to colapse of kingdom.

In my opinion a sovereign of Papacy should be curent Pope (not the Doge, as it used to be because they didn't rule Papacy) which is elected as most educated cleric among the catholic nations as it was before. Papacy could consist of several cities around Rome (5 for example - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donation_of_Pepin). Educated clerics in catholic nations may go through some process of becoming cardinals (when they gain some knowledge, convert province, pay some money to Papacy) and when Pope dies a new could be elected only from cardinals. Blue field when cleric is elected for cardinal can become red. Donation to catholic church that existed in old game should stay and be called - St. Peter's Pence Kingdoms which are donating often should have higher possibilty for their cleric/cardinal of becoming Pope. Elected Pope can stay in Royal court of country where he is from just as it was before , but his picture should appear as a reigning sovereign when clicked on Papacy. When Papacy is completely eliminated, the one state which liberates it should give Pope and + relations to all catholic kingdoms as before. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ *It would be great if all knights could advance in their fields not only clerics becoming bishops/cardinals/popes in catholic kingdoms, or mitropolits/patriarch in orthodox, mula or reis-ul-ulema in islam. Marshal could become senechal/admiral/general/tactician through battles, merchants could become trader, marketer, economist, capitalist or specialize in trading for something that was not part of their duties in earlier version of game such as glass or gold (there are no gold mines in KoH1, only silver - just sayin 😀), spies could become masters of espionage/assasination/sabotage/camouflage/intrigue, diplomats could become ministers, ambassador even maybe and be sent to countries in order to achieve some goal. All of these 5 classes could be upgraded through - money, experience, time spent in position, success in perforimg tasks.

It would be nice if creators could add new states such as Hanseatic League (in late period) Dubrovnik (slavic city - state in Adriatic Sea).
