Dev Diary #146 - It Started With a Cough...

[Meka66]

Just to make sure, are all characters that are dead at gamestart, considered as "disposed"?

Because I'd totally like to bury my dear and beloved ancestor, Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus, to make a point.

Not all characters at game start are considered disposed. If you have a character who has a recently deceased relative at game start, they can host a funeral for them as soon as you load into the game.

The restriction is they must have died 5 years ago or less, so Roman Emperors and people from way back in history are not considered available. Of course in reality, a corpse would be unrecognizable after stewing in the open for 5 years, but the nature of time in Crusader Kings is something of an abstraction.

I would like to clarify, will the old Sky Burials decision coexist with the new funerals activity? I supposed it would not but your message confused me a little.

The decision does still exist, it was kept around so players who don't have access to funerals can still use the old content.

While everything in the pack seems like it will be plenty of coools, I've been thinking...
I'm really excited to hear the music. The themes of the packs are a fertile ground for some really good tunes that draw you in, grounding you in the setting.

I'm excited for people to hear the music. We've got some great tracks in Legends of the Dead.

So, will we get the change log on friday?

Unless something unforeseen pops up, yes.

Why would we be getting the Changelog on Friday?

Mod authors appreciate having a heads up on how badly we're going to break their mods, and as mentioned above it helps build some additional anticipation for our most engaged players ahead of the release itself.

(Also because it makes things a lot easier for the Community Team when we're not trying to push multiple things at the same time)
