I guess it was decided not to update CK2 to 64 bit and instead to let it run out. So the remaining budget is used for bugfixes and stuff too small to sell as DLC.

On one hand its sad it is ending, on the other better end it this way than to get feature bloat and 3 button DLCs like in EU4.

A whole new Startdate used to be considered a new DLC in the past. So it’s weird they give it away for free.

I’m not complaining tough.

I can't remember the last time I've seen free content

First off - thank you once again for continuing to support this truly amazing game. And for free again !

Second - come on people, they've given us a date, a picture and a patch title, let's get to work !

I'll start with some guesses -

• Reworked HRE mechanics
• General middle east religion cleanup, with Zoros, Yazidis etc all getting put into their rightful places
• Combat rework
• New migration mechanics
• Papal shenanigans with a more detailed Pornocracy, Cadaver Synod and maybe even seeds of the Great Schism mechanic and possibly a pre-Papal Conclave succession type for the pope
• Northern trade routes ?
• Playable theocracies ?
• More/new/amended artifacts/bloodlines/titular titles/Great Works/Societies ?

Work with me here people !

i just had a dream last night of something like this , but it was in the 400s with the hunnic invasion of europe and tbh it was what the game missed , first steps of the medieval europe but this is great 2 , thx for the freaking work mates

No, this is not what the game misses.

 

[King Ferdinand]

btw a good mod without great pox ?

 

[Serenity84]

Sad to see this as a standalone But I guess it makes sense. A lot less work this way

Great works

And just yesterday the new court mechanics

1) Will there be 64-bit update? I desperatly want more people could play this beautiful game.
2) Please, tell us there will be new achievements. This date and wonders are essential for them!

 

[Edopardo]

Can we get a pornocracy special government for the Papal States?

Not really, both TOG and Charlemagne came with some huge overhauls accompanying them.

 

[Andrzej I]

Oh no, this is bad, oh dear.

Don't worry @Tuscany, your cause is righteous and I shall back your plot!

 

[Tomaster]

NOOOOOOOOOO, the Ziyarids!

935! One year! Aaaaaagh

still looking forward to it though!

 

[Dagda]

CK2 Team

Best Team

 

[HairyDwarf]

Finally ! I can play with Gorm The Old at last ! to be honest, i never expected timeline to be playable in-between 900-1000 years, but now I'm happy to do so !

 

[Lolofik]

CK2 team is doing great work. I cannot describe how happy I am. I want to thank them all for all the free content.

 

[Tuscany]

Will achievements been added to the new start date along with some for great works?

1) Will there be 64-bit update? I desperatly want more people could play this beautiful game.

No achievements this time. Hopefully we can add some to cover wonders and the start date in the future.

 

[lazprune]

Shut up and take my, errr... positive reviews!

 

[Buladelu]

I remember hearing some regrets from devs on pre-1066 start dates. Like they're not as developed and obviously not researched, and in Charlemagne times feudal system is really a stretch. But they needed an earlier date for Pagans at least. Can't think of a justification for Charlemagne.

I wonder if this new start date is there to end all start dates. Is everyone better off playing this one?

 

[EastonAugustus]

Will there be a Dynasty Shield pack? Some pretty cool dynasties are still missing son shields.

 

[sreckom92]

Awesome stuff!

Are there perhaps some story events for certain characters?
