Hi!
We’ve been a bit silent for the last couple of weeks, but that doesn’t mean we haven’t been working on improving CK2. It hasn’t been properly announced yet meaning I can’t disclose any details, but we are working on a new expansion and you’ll get all the details in future dev diaries (we’ve planned one per week until Christmas).

Life, and CK2 aren’t all fun and joy, sometimes tragedy strikes and thus we’ll start off on a sad note. Magnus, who’ve been working on many of the CK2 expansions has left the team. However, before he left he wrote the following farewell to the forum:

Greetings!

My name is Magnus. And when you are reading this, I am no longer here..


It is sadly the time for me to leave Paradox, as I am moving to another city. I have been working here for over a year now, and it has been an incredible journey.


I came to Paradox and the CK2 team shortly after the release of Rajas of India, and I have been working on Charlemagne, Way of Life, Horse Lords and things to come in the future. It has been great to work on one of my favorite games; to see it grow with the help of colleagues, and most of all the community. Some of the things I have worked on during this time is Viceroyalties, the Chronicle, the Learning Scenario, targeted decisions and scriptable Governments.


It is not Tuesday yet when I am writing this, and as I mentioned at the beginning of this thread I am no longer here when this is posted. I am not gone from the forums however, and I will still keep a look at what's going on. This thread most of all.


I am still bound by an NDA so I can not tell you exactly what we are doing right now, but I guarantee that it is something REALLY exciting that I am really looking forward to play. I know that a lot of you have been wanting this as well (this is where 10 new "Are they doing China?" threads will quote me). Progress is looking great and I am sure that the team will do a great job finishing it up. The number of people working on CK2 now is larger than it has ever been during the time that I have worked here, so there is no need to worry about what can be achieved.


If you are looking for me, I have moved to the court of Prince Erik in Uppsala (at least when you get the next patch), with the dynasty name Sålder. Do join me and fight to secure Scandinavia from the heathen Catholics. And if you allow me to rule my ancestral homeland of Järnbäraland I will be your most loyal vassal.


Thank you for this time everyone! And best wishes to you fans and the team.


Cheers!
 
mmm I would love a layered map, can everyone say Skaven and jump on the spot!
 
Please excuse my ignorance, but what is a "Layered Map"? And how is it different from the map we have now?
 
A layered map is effectively two maps connected to each other. It would be something down right amazing for fantasy mods, as it would enable things like an underground world connected to the surface.

Shouldn't this be stickied until the next DD?

Do people check if there is a new sticky? I know i don't.

On the other hand it would also make the performance of the game much worse.
 
I can't belive that no one said this:
Magnus "The Counsultant" Karlsson has left your court for the county of Uppland.
Every discussion in an new dev diary for ck2 in a nutshell

Damnit you got me to listen to Donald Trump... I'll never forgive you! Sure I only listened to one word but that's one word to much.
 
The really important part was if you agreed with his word. If you didn't then there may still be hope.
Well China but I'm rather thinking more along the lines of... China.
 
Naval combat confirmed.

Good luck Magnus!
