CK2 Dev Diary #112 - Wonderful News

[LordOfWar867]

I think theologies of Catholic and Fraticelli should get some sort bonus from the Cathedrals to the College of Cardinals score system. Might just for county clergy only not the whole realm's theology vassals.

 

[Mindel]

How about a dynastic castle? The idea being that a dynasty with enough prestige can build a wonder that becomes the "headquarters" of their family. This could unlock new events for a dynasty member who controls the province as their capital.

Cool Idea I wonder if we can tie that in.

Well we plan to have a palace. So if we manage to get that in then some dynastic upgrades/ flavour would be cool.

Pyramids?!

You can already build pyramid for your dead pets when you character is a lunatic. =p

 

[Mindel]

I'm very curious to see how the "one wonder slot" will work for Jerusalem.

It will be fun to watch Jews build the third temple, then have it burned down by Muslims who build the Dome of the Rock, to have it burned down by crusaders who build...

 

[CMDR_HERNE]

Rebuilding Stonehenge as a Tower of Babel...

 

[sreckom92]

I hope the release date is Q2 2019 at most.

 

[Guthix]

Will certain wonders appear differently depending on your culture? I'd love to see a beautiful Chinese-style Cathedral for a Han Christian to build or a Great Mosque for Han Muslims. There are quite a few examples of the beautiful places of worship across China if you guys need any ideas.

 

[cameronio]

I'd be keen to see some sort of Lovecraftian other-worldly monument available to lunatic rulers.

I hope we can give it a name. Winterfell for example

Please also try to work in a Third Temple wonder. Please please please.

 

[HalouDoval]

Perhaps certain wonder upgrades can be unlocked based on how many holdings / holding slots a province has. Since that is something that can be done with the existing code.

This way it's not just a case of dumping resources into the building itself, but there is a requirement to spend hundreds more gold around it, or wait an amazing amount of time for crown focus to bless you with an extra holding slot.

 

[Ursul]

Speaking of universities, I'd love to see some love in Persia with the Gondishapur's school. It was a beacon of knowledge and culture in the late antiquity to early middle age.

 

[Vityviktor]

I'm glad you guys keep working in CK2. I hope you could introduce few graphical "fixes" in the upcoming patch, specially about graphical cultures, like bringing the Basques back to occitangfx (using italiangfx makes no sense for them) or maybe even creating new gfx for the Balts (even if it's only for modding purposes).

Also, please, keep adding new cultures!

 

[Truewhit]

Great mosques like in Córdoba Spain whould be great. They chould then be converted to a cathedral when Christians take it over.

 

[Vengarr]

If you have fun ideas for any of this please let us know. I can’t promise it will get in, but it just might.

This is a bit of a long shot, but the ancient Canal of the Pharaohs would be a good choice. It was the historical forerunner of the modern Suez Canal, and it linked the Nile river to the Red Sea. It was actually still in use until 767 (two years before the earliest start date!), when it was closed during the ongoing civil war in the Caliphate.

If you could rebuild or re-open it in-game, it would provide a sea link between the Mediterranean and Red Sea regions, expanding the game area for players in those areas. It would also make India and China more reasonable long-term objectives for players that start in the Mediterranean. The "Suez Canal" mod that does this is pretty popular, so there is certainly interest.

Grazie!

 

[Gurkhal]

Are we getting Egyptian paganism as well? How will I find time to kill all these heathens? Its no easy life being a Crusader King.

 

[Ixalmaris]

- Scalable universities, along the lines of Cambridge or the Germanic ones

I still hope for a technology overhaul with universities being an alternative to hospitals in provinces and required for more advanced technologies (or if you want to rediscover a forgotten technology)

The Great Tomb of Glitterhoof

 

[HalouDoval]

Another thought.
Let's say my character is a zealous pagan, and they've just reformed their religion. Can they decide to build something special at one of their holy sites? The options, of course, depending on what features they've selected for their reformation. A more engaging and permanent version of "Build Great Pillar" perhaps.
