The system itself is fine. As a player it's stable and easy to use. It's just the AI that can't handle it. Plus the general tendency of the AI to get into civil wars all the time

then giving the byzantine AI a fragile government system is not a good idea right? Give them some stability buff like same for the mongol via setting
 
The real question is, what state is Mumu/Munster in? That is what what matters, how is n00b isle doing during the iron century?

When someone dies in your dungeon & have no living relatives, you should get their gold. It's only realistic. Also, you should get their artifacts. At the very least their should be a mechanic as to how to the odds are of you catching them with their riches on them & how much riches they would have based off opponents (Intrigue*2*martial*1.25) + greed (if greedy =+25/ your (intrigue*3*martial*1.5) or something formula so its more likely that you catch them with more money when they are greedy.

People don't keep gold and artifacts with them in the oubliette.

They need to teach the AI that just because it can revoke a viceroyalty without getting an opinion penalty from all the vassals, that doesn't mean it should try to revoke it. That was really the root of the constant civil wars in the one game I played as a vassal of an empire with Imperial elective succession.

I did not know the Vikings made it past Dublin, Waterford and Wexford. Were they really that deep into the Island?

I'm on the Imperator team, but the Iron Century is primarily something I made in my sparetime, so it's natural that I am the one who present it and answer questions.

Thanks for your efforts, Snow Crystal. Iron Century looks really impressive and it's strange to think this is largely just one dev's work! Not sure if it's planned for a dev diary or not, but I'd love to know more about how you got the ball rolling on Iron Century and how you got PDX behind you to get this done. I'm sure all the devs have little side projects here and there but not every day they make their way into the main game like this! Paradox sounds like a great place to work!

It's not really planned, but I can probably talk a little bit about it. Just before Christmas (I think it was the 22nd) I had been working a lot on Imperator and took a break from making some events on it to clear up some bugs from HF that I had accidentally made.

Randomly for fun while waiting for stuff to load I was reading about Otto I, and thought "What do the world even look like if I just slap in the random dare for fun?". After reading a bit more up on it, I thought 936 was a cool year that happened around a lot of other interesting stuff.

So I open the game in 936 at Otto's Coronation date (yeah, this really never changed), and just started checking stuff out. At first it was about 2000 errors across the world.

So I test it out a little bit and try fixing the history and clearing out the errors just in Norway and Iceland, and I manage to power through it pretty quickly. So after genuinely wondering how hard it'd be to actually make a bookmark, I clear up all my Imperator tasks in a couple of days over Christmas.

With the rest of my Christmas holidays free, I start doing a whole bunch of reading up on the 10th century and start putting together history and fill in things wherever I can. Originally I just planned to make a mod out of it.

After randomly talking to Tuscany (Dan) after we got back to work, we started talking about the bookmark. He suggested making it official, and the ball started rolling.

So I've poured several hundreds of hours of my spare time into it, and received a lot of help from friends and betas, both making parts of the history and testing it out. 5-6 months later and here we are.

They are when I play them.

Is that No as in "The update is not Friday," or No as in "The update could be on Friday, but that's not the reason there won't be any hotfixes before then"?:D

Man, PDX is the only company I know off where an employee would do hundreds of hours of unpaid work on his own initiative. It really is impressive.

Man, I would love to do the same. Just.... need.... to.... get.... an AI degree first
 
Ahhhh Already loving this. Really looking forward to play Louis IV, since Charles the Bald is one of my favourite starts. Securing the Carolingians in West Francia by slowly taming the great lords one by one! hell yea!

Thanks for that. Love that your falling down a modding rabbit hole over Christmas indirectly led to Iron Century! :D Grateful to everyone involved in making it happen.
