CK2 Dev Diary# 23: More rules, less lunatics

Hello all, it’s time for a CK2 DD once again. Now before I get into the meat of this one, I want to let you know that DDs between DLCs are going to be shorter than the big feature-explainers I could write during Reaper’s, so don’t be surprised if some are brief.

Moving on, work on 2.6.2 continues well, and I’ll post the patch notes when it’s closer to being done, but some fixes that may interest people include:
  • AI Characters are much less likely to take Experimental treatments for minor illnesses, which means you should see less maimed or insane character about in the world.
  • Patricians can now properly Go into Seclusion and Search for Court Physicians.
  • Characters under 16 no longer get gout.

We have added more Game Rules:
  • Supernatural events can be set to Unrestricted, allowing the AI to have fun with them too.
  • Both Mongol and Aztec invasions can be set to “Delayed Random” where they will show up at random but not before the year 1000 and not before the game has been played for 50 years.
  • Turkic Conquerors can be set to Historical/Random/Off.
  • Way of Life users can set Dueling to Normal/Restricted/Unrestricted.
  • Both Vassal and Demesne limits can be set to Normal/Unlimited/50%/25%
  • Grant Independence can be set to Normal/Unrestricted.
  • Assassinate plots in MP can be set to Normal/No Players/No Players + Heirs/No Player Dynasty.

We have also continued to add more Content, including:

The various Defensive Pagan faiths now allow you to pick a Patron Deity granting a bonus to certain stats, and allowing access to certain new events:

Plus, all Pagan religion now have their own Valhalla-bound equivalent:

Characters in Seclusion may find they have an uninvited guest:

Immortal characters are now a lot more likely to wake up from Incapacitating head wounds, and there is no longer an age limit on said event for Immortals.
Even non-depressed Immortals who find that life Eternal isn’t all that great may now attempt to end their life.
Not only that, it’s also possible that Immortal characters may find they are not the only people to have found Eternal life, and that their brethren are not the most welcoming types:

say one thing for Rurik Rurikid, say he's lucky

And that's it for now, see you next week!

If you're referring to how the Jihad and the Crusader hate each other as opposites.

It isn't an invalid thought. But I simply assumed that with reformed pagans, that never reformed in history, that their crusade / jihad traits simply would not have opposites.

The Valhalla Bound trait is opposite of the Crusader and Mujahid trait. Maybe they will all be opposite of each other.

What part of 'hog-wild' confuses you? You obvilusly must be able to duel children! In fact, I recommend that you only duel children since they are very easy to beat due to their small size and gullible nature.

In the Perkunas friend event, it looks like there's an extra space between "break to eat" and "your midday meal".

In the Curonia monument event, one of the event options is too long and cut off.

Should the "Pick Patron Deity" decision be marked as "high priority"?

The problem with the horde invasion dates isn't the date itself, but that they arrive with the same number of troops regardless of year and crush the unprepared world. They should scale smoothly by year similar to mercenary bands, or scale by the combined garrisons of several random counties, or scale by the combined strength of the three largest realms.

Adding traits in a minor update is going to break saves that have mods enabled :/ If you decide to add the great holy warrior traits in this version, can you make 2.6.1.1 available as a Steam option? Or fix the save file format so this doesn't happen every time?

Why would a Viking and a Muslim hate each other, when they holy wared againt the Christians? They have a common enemy.

Probably because these aren't just Vikings and Muslims, but Vikings and Muslims so devoted to the pure truth of their faith that they will engage in major holy war against non-Viking/Muslim infidels, which would at some point include vikings or Muslims.

The enemy of my enemy is my enemy.

Have you considered adding a Berber Raider trait for the Berbers that have been active with their maritime raiding?
This could be an equivalent to the Viking counterpart.

I've been having a lot of fun with the Cretan Berber duchy, but wished I could get a trait to signal that my character is considered an infamous Mediterranean Pirate :D

I wanted to be absolutely sure before I alerted Nancy Grace.

"Your knife pieces his heart at the same time as their blade cuts into your flesh."

Why "their" rather than "GetHerHis" and why only in the second instance?

I've noticed this in a few other recently added events, too. It's weird to see "they" when a character's gender is known.

Probably quicker to do and less to worry about.
 
Should Norse be split from Germanic religion? If you want to reform Germanic faith you have to go take land in Scandinavia. It would be more realistic if Germanic were for north Germany and the provinces needed are in the vicinity while reforming the Norse religion would require only certain Scandinavian provinces.

I'm glad to hear about all these additions. Smaller cassal limits apply to everyone right? I'd like to see the ai stuggle with their vassals for once.

Also i can't wait to be a warrior of the sun. Praise the sun!

My next campaign plan is to replace christianity with zunism.
