I'm not angry, I'm not even disappointed, just really puzzled and curious now.

It's not like I get to decide if we get anything or not, I'm merely the messenger. And it's certainly not for a lack of asking, over the weeks I asked more than once for summer break content/teasers. It's not my fault that we got nothing.

Other than a fairly recent video on the Byzantine Army on YouTube, which I linked here, there's nothing of interest going on at the moment. No teasers, no DDs. Other than Tinto with EU5, which starts in 1337 and therefore remotely touches the CK3 timeframe, there is absolutely nothing coming from PDX as a publisher right now. I can't change that, and I have no influence on that.

You either watch the well-made 2h long documentary, because you haven't seen it yet and might find it interesting, maybe you want to learn something about the central theme of the upcoming expansion, which is Byzantium, or you don't. Just move on if you're not interested. You can even post interesting content yourself, if you have something that might help us bearing the content drought here. But there is no specifically CK3 related content coming anytime soon, we still have a gap of three entire weeks to bridge here.

So, why do people feel the need to spam me with their disagrees? Is it the new dislike button? Am I just the unfortunate lighting rod taking the hit for PDX? Or do people hate the channel Kings & Generals? Is there some great controversy surrounding the channel, which I missed? I'd really love to know.

If you spread your dislikes without commenting on what you think is wrong, I can't make any effort to change things. And quite frankly, I'm too old for playing guessing games, so I'm asking you directly. What exactly would you have me do here?

To be honest had a feeling this confusion would happen so I was gonna make a clarification post to explain why I disagreed but decided against it since I thought given all your other posts are liked/agreed that you would guess why.

I disagreed cause you thought a K&G video was good content on the Byzantines worth sharing when it’s actually Fast Food. Is it Content on the Byzantines you might even enjoy? Yes. Is it good content you should be consuming on the Byzantines? No.

The rest of what you said I have no problem with.

That said dropping my civil polite facade to be informally real with you, making a reaction post to complain about respectfully disagrees cause you got a bunch is pretty cringe bro.

Respectfully disagrees are the downvote button yes, any equivalent system will turn into one it’s human nature. But it’s also the genuine button for saying you respectfully disagree without having to take time out of your day to write a post like this.

I respectfully disagreed to both visually show that I disagreed with your post and to discourage the spread of such posts that I consider harmful to the Byzantine fan base and Paradox fans without having to spend an hour writing a post but here we are anyways cause I feel bad lol.

Yeah it suck to get them and that people use them as just downvotes, trust me I know. I’ve had Bulgarian users mass respectfully disagree every post I made for a year straight cause I angered them while debating with them on Byzantine-Bulgar borders lol or mass disagreed on cause I made a post disagreeing with Elvain.

But this is also an online forum for a popular game franchise with a niche genre and a diverse fanbase including edgy Teens to 50 year old Nationalists.

You are opening yourself to disagreement that may seem unfair every time you post. This is why I encourage users to stay on 1 topic when they post too so you know what that respectfully disagree is for. Cough why someone shouldn’t combine real Romans with Crimean Goths.

That’s all I have to say to let’s get back on topic folks

If last week's trend continues this week, we'll see one more video in a few days on DD#149, and next week another for DD#150. While those are mostly 1:1 verbatim versions of the written DD's we already have and know, those videos actually can include some minor new things, as was noted with regards to that tiny bit of new OST.

After that, thank god, we have already early August, and the council fully expects the normal DD schedule to resume tomorrow in two weeks. Two more weeks, boys and girls!

We slapped a new track we're particularly fond of into this video, just for you.

And the council is very pleased with it, the track is amazing and really catches the feel of Eastern Christianity.

I have a question, though, which I probably should've asked a month ago, when the DD first released. Anyway, regarding the screenshot of the tooltip for the 2nd level of Imperial Bureaucracy, are you at liberty to share lvl 1, 3 and 4? I'm really eager to see those, and I know that values aren't final and all that.

Still, I'd very much love to see all current bonuses of all four levels. It would be hugely appreciated.

As of now, we are in the last week without a new DD. Yet we can hope for the latest DDVideo today, which may also bring a glimpse of one of the new soundtracks.

Next week we're already in early August, so the normal DD schedule should resume then. Somehow we survived the summer break, dear friends.

Then there's also another milestone today: today, we're 8 weeks since RtP was formally announced (with announcement trailer and all), and also exactly 8 weeks remain until RtP releases. It means we're officially at the 50% mark.

Here's, with a delay of just a few minutes, the new video on DD#150:


Now that the videos caught up with the written DDs, we're looking at a return to the usual schedule starting next week. The topic is "Landless Adventurers".

Is there will be Dev Play videos? And if so, start they will when??
Click to expand...
I cannot speak for the devs, but looking back at how it was in the past, those videos usually start appearing pretty close to release, like days away. Sometimes even at the same time as the release, maybe an hour before.

Since we still have 7 weeks and 2 days to go, I wouldn't count on dev gameplay videos anytime soon.

I fear you're correct. I'm hoping we can get Trinexx to lobby for them to start beginning of September at the latest.

That would require the devs to disclose all new features ahead of presenting them via DD, which I doubt will happen.

Don't get me wrong, I want them to be as open as they can be, as early as possible. It's just that the reality of things is sadly a different one.

Earliest will probably be mid-September, when the patch notes are finalized, all content-related DDs are released, and the DLC is in its final stage before release.

I would imagine Paradox will showcase some gameplay then by partnering with YouTubers like One Proud Bavarian and Haestein obsessed Koifish.

Are we getting a return to DDs this week?
Click to expand...
We'll summon our local devil dev in a grand rite tomorrow and ask.

But their last word on this was that we'll get one in early August. Since a week later is already mid-August, their exact choice of words heavily indicates that yes, we'll get the DD in two days.
