  1. All of this sounds great! Now what would be cool if you could form vassals and then switch over to play the new vassal realm.
  2. I think the worst thing Ai can do is spawn armies out of nowhere. The Total War series is a great negative example of that. When you have completely crushed the economy of an enemy realm but the AI can spawn a maximum size army of veteran units out of a single remaining city, which the player would be absolutely unable to do, this is just as annoying as immersion-killing. Another example (also to be found in TW series) is the AI focusing on the player even though he is just one of many threats and by far not the biggest one. That becomes worse if all AI realms do that. Again this is annoying and immersion-killing. This artificial difficulty reduces fun by a lot, so I hope you can avoid this completely.
  3. That's the thing, they make the base game really bland. For example religions and cultures are almost exactly the same, there are no proper mechanisms for Crusades and Jihads, just one type of government... Everything else got added via DLCs. Besides, even though you do not NEED DLCs, the way the company tries to prey on FOMO of (potential) customers is disgusting to say the least. I expect Black Sea Games and THQ Nordic to be much better in this regard, they have no track record of releasing an endless wave of DLCs.
  4. Crusader Kings III is a much more expensive matter, if you buy the DLCs as they release. Paradox Interactive is about releasing lots and lots of DLCs for their games, especially for the Crusader Kings series. Also they offer subscriptions (!) for their DLCs, but you don't keep any DLC when the subscription runs out, no matter how long it goes. If you want to reward this abuse of FOMO and this nickel and diming, then CKIII is your game. Other problems with Paradox games are that new DLCs are released insufficiently tested. Paradox have achieved the worst rating for a DLC on Steam because it was such a disaster. Just FYI, for CKII they released 65 DLCs.
  5. It's a good idea to switch focus away from the pure political mapmode so that we can enjoy the map details. In your competition game CKII I was using the political mapmode almost exclusively, even though I would have preferred regular mode. Having political options combined with the regular map sounds perfect. Hope you did it well!
  6. Does the AI have to deal with the same supply problem? This is important, since it will be very tiring and annoying if they can have giant armies marauding in your lands for unlimited time, while you have to carefully balance your supplies.
  7. I would assume the Thessalonicans are Orthodox just like the player realm (Eastern Rome) and are angry about a marriage with a Catholic realm.
  8. I will probably never play a single multiplayer game of KoH2 (I never play strategy games in multiplayer), but I definitely appreciate options for many different starting conditions. Some suggestions I have (if not already implemented) are "shattered world" (no historical kingdoms, just lots of small or even single province kingdoms) option to change culture/religion of a kingdom you choose to play (with option to change culture/religion of provinces) Diplomatic range: it can be immersion-breaking if every lord can interact with every other on the map as if the telephone was already invented. So choosing diplomatic range (unlimited and different limit settings) might be a useful option. Naming titles after dynasties: Important for some cultures. For example if you rule as a member of the Fatimids, this option would decide if your realm is the Fatimid Kingdom or instead the Kingdom of Egypt with the corresponding name shown on the map.
  9. I would love to play a realm with the Germanic faith. I know that the earliest starting date is in the 12th century though, so it doesn't make any sense. I still hope you will include a (much) earlier starting date, if not in the initial release then perhaps in a possible expansion.
  10. To be honest, I would have preferred a more detailes religion system, with different Pagan faiths and also Coptic and Ibadi faith. Like Alexis I am a fan and long time player of CKII. But I understand that KoH puts less emphgasis on tis. That being said, I would appreciate any future content that expands religion options and mechanics (DLC?).
  11. To be honest, I will play this game only as singleplayer. I like multiplayer games, but multiplayer in strategy games is not my cup of tea. I like interacting with the game world and shaping it according to my wishes.
