aruon, I play Tianxia sometimes, and it slows down to pretty much a halt on my computer after 950. Reapers due optimisations helped a lot, but ck2 still chugs late-game really badly even in vanilla.

I agree with you completely Philthy

CK2 has plenty of life left in it. Looking at EU3, the last expansion Divine Wind was released in 2010. EU4 was released in 2013. So even if Paradox stop CK2 development after Reaper's Due (which they haven't), it would likely be a few years at least before CK3 would appear.

Being the freshest face to join the CK II team (until next week), I can reassure you that while we are winding down, looking forward to eventually moving on to newer projects, we are far from dead and still at work with a lively mix of old and new blood. Of course, I am unable to tell you what exactly it is we're working on, but if anything Reaper's Due solidly proved that the old dog still got life in her, so we're not ready to put her down just yet.

You know, that metaphor is really depressing.
For CK3 I expect most of the stuff from ck2 DLC (Nomads, Pagans with deapth, India, ect...), maybe not playable, but shipping with the game and usable by the AI. Eventually ck3 should include the entire old world.

So you are a developer in the CK2 team, or someone who worked on it temporarily until next week? I ask to confirm because you don't have the avatar.

Nomads, Pagans, and India better be playable right from the start. I don't want to have to rebuy the ability to play in most areas of the world. No, Ck3 should use the current state of ck2 as a springboard to get us into the Far East (and add more depth of course) rather than making us rebuy all the DLC sets they had

A more fleshed out Mali might be nice, tbh. And the African great lakes?

I feel that this is the most likely. It requires the least amount of change, considering it's just the addition of a few provinces on the existing map for which space already exists. Also, the various regional polities were quite important in the scheme of the "north of the tsetse fly line" part of Africa.

Mm, Mali was far more important to the medieval world than the game lets on. I'd definitely like to see a more fleshed out sub-saharan africa. It'd be nice to also see the Saharan nomads represented (perhaps in a similar way to steppe nomads?) but I'm not going to be upset if they don't. Somalia and the whole Swahili coast would be nice too considering their considerable connections with Arabia and India, but yeah, the most likely Africa expansion is more Mali

Even though i would love to have the whole world simulated i still wonder why... you are playing a Character... i always think that realtime knowledge and diplomacy of the whole map (or nearly) is the problem...
If the game would concentrate on your person and your surroundings you wouldnt need a bigger map
I always wondered how ck2 would be if knowledge, visibility etc would be based on your location... you are ar home in your castle in london... you dont know what/how your army is doing in paris until several days later... or you are in the field and can lead one of your armies.. lots of opportunities... and you dont need a much bigger world.. you will really need to trust your dukes to handle your stuff far away...
Not sure if ck2 would be able to simulate this... but in case a ck3 is in planning i hope they consider this ;-)

Dude, there's random counts you can play in the game whose whole historic legacy is that they sat in that chair.
The area had this going on for them https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghana_Empire

I understand that the name "Crusader Kings 2" gives the game a specific scope, and I am myself very wary of random land expansions now, but for a place that is playable in the map (as small as it is) this area could use some things going on. It is not a place that directly affects the christian kingdoms, but it does affect Islam.

But to each his own, I defend the existence of india on the game yet I never actually played a game in there.
 
lol that necro.

but seriously wondering about CK 3 at this point is like wondering when PDS is going to start working on EU 5 and HOI 5. give it another decade people, and that's being somewhat liberal of an expectation.

I've seen worse necros...


I don't expect CKIII for about 8 years after development has finished for CKII.
 
I've argued that I would like Pdx Interactive to invest more heavily in the development studio rather than seeking "new markets" especially when they suggest they want to go after mobile markets and so on. It seems there is a greater demand for PDS games from their core base than PDS can fulfil. A Vicky 3 or Rome 2 would have been welcomed by the community well and truly if it were made already for example. That said growing the development studio could mean losing some of it's quality for all I know, I'm not business savvy so don't know if it is the most profitable route and being a core fan it's hard to argue that they haven't been delivering over the past few years.

So in short I have no idea how they can make the most profit but I'd like to see them continue to be able to support their games and make new games to keep up with demand but depending on what they can and will do with CKII, CKIII will probably be overdue by the time it comes.
