Hi folks!

Tomorrow is the release day for Monks and Mystics and, of course, the 2.7 patch - exciting times! Now, we've already covered the new features pretty well, so... how about a Q&A? Unleash your questions about everything CK!

(Oh, and don't miss the livestreams later today, 16:00 CET as usual!)

Is there any chance of us seeing new Game Rules in the upcoming patches?

Yes! For MnM there will only be one new game rule (Devil Worshipers), but we're definitely planning on adding more as we go.

Has the vassal-limit game rule been fixed? It still doesn't work but is instead governed by the demense-limit game rule and wasn't fixed in any of the 2.6.X patches.

Fixed the "vassal limit" game rule having no effect, as it would use the option of the "demesne limit" game rule instead

khm.

If a courtier takes the vows and becomes a monk or nun do they join a monastic society? Do they get the appropriate clothes?

 

[yeabil]

Just started playing m&m,I joined the Benedictine order not showing up as a member? What am I missing?

As a headsup, if you have any issues/bugs, please do not report them here but in the bug forums.

Thanks !

Do you have any plans (if it's possible) to make achievements more stable? It's frustrating to play for hours for one of the long game achievements and not get it because your internet went down for a minute.

Thank you guys for all your hard work!

Well some very focused questions.
1) Did the Byzantines get any particular monastic order/secret society? If not hope you'll add the monastic order of Mt. Athos that's quite big for Orthodox .
2) Can we reasonably expect any improvement on the Byzantines in the future? (game mechanics, portraits, clothes, flavour events)

Thank you!

I agree... I'm not the achievement hunter type so I hardly ever play on ironman anyways and it doesn't matter for me, but if you want to fraud stuff you can do that anyway using cheat engine and the like and there is no intrinsic worth to those achievements anyways, so an internet connection should not be a requirement.

The Byzantines are actually one of the most content-heavy groups in the game. With a music pack, portrait pack, an early, middle, and late clothing pack, flavor events surrounding chariots and Greek Fire, and the ability to actively blind and castrate prisoners without penalty...

Just as well, the ability to mend the schism and force the west to recognize you as the only and true Roman Empire means that the Byzantines, in total, probably have the most content out of any singular group in the game.

How do I get this cool, not HRE looking shield for my Italy?

 

[Snake_Squeezins]

What are some ideas you have considered as features that were so bad that you are virtually certain you will never pursue them?

What are some ideas you had for patches/DLC that were simply too complex to pursue, either conceptually or technically?

Which design features or other innovations from other Paradox titles are you considering adding/adapting to CK2?

What type of material (books, movies, art, etc) have been inspiring your team members as you dream up new themes/features for patches/DLC? Some of the photos/graphics that have inspired you would be great to see.

Other than Paradox titles, what games are your team members playing these days, and what are their all-time favorite games?

 

[Moarice]

How do I get this cool, not HRE looking shield for my Italy?

Looks like a bug to me, based on the shields of Great Moravia and Venice.

 

[Maphibo]

Just curious... can the Pope or a bishop be secretly a Satanist?

 

[Moah]

Just curious... can the Pope or a bishop be secretly a Satanist?

Yes. There's even an achievement for getting a satanist Bishop to become the pope.

If Paradox had access to unlimited work hours of the best programmers in the world, what would you like to see modeled in Crusader Kings 3?

Krusader Kings 3? Are you mad? I've spent 250 EUR + for their DLCs over time and now you are asking them to make a new game with probably another 250 EUR + worth of expansions battling the same problems they are now just for some finer graphics..,THIS IS MADNESS! Please don't pitch them ideas.
