(OP)
I'm an Atheist and I don't hate it, as it does help give me some insight into the lesser minds of the world. The ones who can bring themselves to believe in religion.

It helps me to see the thought processes they follow etc. I don't believe myself to be superior to such people, just more intelligent. Intelligent does not mean superior.

>lesser minds
*le tips funny hat*

dude what

I actually hate this too, since the Crusades and Catholic religions haven't had an update since vanilla. Instead they add stupid shit like India and now China.

where has Paradox said they are adding China?

Eh, I'm just guessing, but it's real fucking likely. I think it was hinted at recently or something too.

>be atheist
>love to play games where I can DEUS VULT

What...am...I?

You never acquired faith in a higher being, BUT you still appreciate the cultural bond Christianity has created in Europe, its history and the great men who followed it to the death.

I'm an atheist and CK2 is my favorite game ever.

Off yourself

Why the fuck do most atheists act like the most arogant pricks in the world?

Am I retarded if I don't understand these games? There's too much going on and I don't know what to do... They are too confusing.

Most atheists aren't and the fedora-tipping reddit meme is just that, a meme.

No, they just have a difficult entry barrier. Watch a tutorial on YouTube and you'll be able to play CK2 efficiently in a day or two.

>and now China
Nippon when?

I know, im atheist too. I live in mostly atheistic country, and people here simply dont care about others religion

Do you shitheads use console commands for the sole purpose of reproduction? I do.

Meanwhile i conquer shit and try to abolish the fucking council asap. I don't even get aroused, i don't know why i do it.
And does anyone know where can i edit the pregnancy timer? I can find everything from the number of children the AI will try to stop at to the chance of an event triggering. Really need this.

Let's be fair, medieval Europe was insane and pretty cool.
Who doesn't like the idea of kings leading armies into the heart of the middle east, seeing jesus in hallucinations and actually winning (for a while) Jerusalem.
Cutting down muslims and heretics alike in zealous fury, dying for a "holy mission", the pope fucking calling for blood.

Interesting times.

Glad too see a fellow enlightened gentleman. *nods respectfully*

I live in a fairly religious state in the US and I actually attend mass regularly with my Catholic GF. The morals are valuable lessons in the Bible, and are great if you just view them as teachings instead of the infallible word of a god.

Militant atheists are fucking fags, though. Especially the ones who have a problem with Christianity moreso than actual bullshit barbaric religions.

they have announced that they have improved preformance issues, that would let them add China.

Can confirm
>gift it to atheist friend
> he ask "uhh isnt there any option to become atheist in this game?"

Bullshit, as in literally sacred cow POO, just looking at India makes my shit slow down.

holy crap, that's great! CK2 has always had a problem with performance

do you got a link?

That's because they don't preach the Old Testament, like some denominations do.
Where it's all blood and "worship or die".
Catholicism has a lot of problems, though.

Please someone respond if they know anything about the damned pregnancy timers, google gives absolutely nothing and no one seem to have tried dabbling with it.

Yeah, I know. I appreciate the majesty of it all though, and history especially.

Protestantism is pretty fucking gay though, it's like Catholicism's redneck inbred retarded little brother.

>Crusader
More like triggers muslims

>the most arogant pricks in the world?
That applies to religious people too. Atheists are arrogant about their non-reliance on imaginary beings and strict outdated rules, whereas religious people like to flaunt around how they supposedly have superior God-approved morals despite the fact that they're most likely just choosing themselves which parts of their holy texts have to be interpreted literally and lived to the letter whereas others not so nice rules or passages are "metaphorical teachings" to them.

In truth the majority of both groups are actually decent people with shared humanitarian values (at least when it comes first world secularized societies) and the annoying vocal minority in both camps make the groups hate each other more than necessary.

IIRC you actually can become an atheist in CK2 through a random event. It even increases Intrigue level while lowering Piety gain.

that's what they claim, I don't think they should add China

>>Unconvinced by the claims of every religion and cult.
>>Therefore I hate CK2
hours in it

thank you, user

But it's my favorite game of all time.

Because most people are arrogant pricks.

God no.

Having too many children is annoying, and, in the early stages of the game, potentially game ending.

This is why I'm agnostic, I don't want to become a fucking arrogant like this fucker!

Also, vidya is cool to teach you Medieval History too.

There's literally nothing wrong with being arrogant. Arrogance plays a social function.

I'm only atheist because no modern religion lets me DEUS VULT like a proper Christian.

Alternatively, RAID AND PILLAGE with Odin at my side is acceptable as well.

they're never adding china, that's just a meme on their shitty forums. the previous "big performance breaktrough" a few patches ago had a minuscule effect and so will this one. the development of ck2 is winding down and they're not going to suddenly add another continent. at best they'll do theocracies.

but i like it

So like what the Muslims are doing today?

but user, fence-sitting and looking down on everyone that actually committed to real ideas is even more arrogant.

>Catholicism being better than Protestantism

Top kek. Pick up a history book, or simply look at how underdeveloped Catholic societies are.

>not just dealing with it
Remove council asap and get primogeniture. Or alternatively you could make your boys into girls by editing the save, but i consider that as cheating. Marrying and forcibly pollinating your female offspring is fine, as it might add some challenge.

There's this thing called islam.

>muslims are 600 years behind christians
seems about right

kids aren't a problem if you keep invading your neighbors and hand out shitty counties like a good papa

>Protestantism is pretty fucking gay though, it's like Catholicism's redneck inbred retarded little brother.

Or you know, Christianity without the businesses aspect.

Maybe it's because I'm an atheist, but to me, organized religions seems silly. I could accept an omnipotent being creating the world, I don't believe it, but it sort of makes sense to me.

But to believe the bible or anything is the word of god is just silly to me. Because it was writing by random dudes on their whim. Like, it's just a book. There is nothing godly about it.

Granted I do find the setting of a organized religion a fairly cozy one(I mean, in a modern society where they don't want to kill you for having a third nipple because they decided that is a sign of Satan or some shit).

Sort of just like a glorified meeting place. That is a bit alluring to me. Going to church and talk with your neighbors and stuff, listen to some anecdotes that we probably never happened but might be fun to imagine if they did, sing some Christmas carols. That part of the religion seems alluring.

Hijacking this dumb thread to ask how the fuck do I into ck2

As I said, like a proper Christian. Sandniggers gtfo my holy land, REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>(Dead) (OP)
Fuck's this?

>game made by swedish atheists
>atheists hate it
what did he mean by this?
oh and i love it as an atheist that loves history
its actually more about alternate history,
not loving crusades which are badly represented anyway

>click de jure button
>capture the counties to make your duchy
> "" your kingdom
>"" your empire

>Remove council asap and get primogeniture
Yeah. That is what I meant by early stages being potentially game ending.

But even so, having like 15 uncles and brothers trying to claim your titles gets a bit annoying after a while.

Until they decide they want your titles when papa dies.

>Atheists hate watching Christfags and Mohammadfags murder each other over a tiny stretch of land.

play a republic and blob

So what's the best way to play this? Never sure how to handle succession.

It's a RPG incest simulator with a bit of strategy elements, so you don't have to conquer anything.
Start as a count or duke in Greece. After about an hour of fucking around, you'll figure it out.

>i'm not religious

>catholicism: a communal experience of the divine through participation in ages-old ritual, mediated by a highly educated priesthood
>american protestantism: some hick waves his arms around and screams about feeling jesus in the room like it's a seance
>european protestantism: a lesbian priest talks about tolerance, 3 people attend

Stop being a bitchboy and run dem niggas out then.

>Until they decide they want your titles when papa dies.

that's why you keep your best duchy for your primary heir so they can fuck off with their 1 shitty county

>protestant church

Yeah, I'll pass, Cletus. Pic related, average garbage protestant church

That's mainly why I go, plus it makes the gf happy. I meet nice people who enjoy the shared association, I just take the stories at face value. I will certainly raise my child in the church, it's basically free "good person" class to establish moral principles.

because non-arrogant atheists do not discuss atheism

>swedish king takes an muslim girl as concubine
>some time passes and shit gets fucked up due to king dying and Gavelkind
>his muslim son ends up ruling half of Sweden
>mfw

muslims, byzantines and republics have best succession laws in the early start dates.
others have to feudalise and enact late era laws or form an empire with imperial administration before getting primogeniture and other such laws.

>incest
Excellent

Until they or someone else start faction that is.

Accurate.

So how can I speed up making up claims for stuff, I have been spending like decades trying to make one up for a neighboring state.

>Catholicism: supreme leader of the church kisses the feet of Muslim migrants

>not Cuckooing the entire world

invite a claimant, land him and push his claim

>I'm not an atheist physicalist

Get a better chancellor. I also place my spymaster in the same province to increase plot power, but I don't actually know if that helps.
Everyone who isn't a cuck hates the current Pope

To be fair, pretty much any historical building in America looks like a rickety shed.

So you give him a land in your reign, and then you push his claim and you get him as part of your country? Am I getting this right?

youtube.com/watch?v=Hfq_7TlE3r4

Speaking off, how do I into trade posts and shit?

Ive been meaning to try a republic game, boring as it is, but I've never really been able to wrap my head around trade zones and shit like that.

Even the poorly designed Catholic churches in my state are much better architecturally than the nicest Protestant ones.

>Catholicism: failed societies and virtually no influence in modern intellectual progress

just play it. you can be passive in ck2, just let the medieval soap opera happen and figure it out over time. stuff like the battle interface popping up can be intimidating but it's okay to just ignore it at first.

just find a kingdom with a weak family, marry a girl and kill off her bros. fuck making claims

the optimization patch is coming with the next expansion

as long as the claim you use for war has a lower titlerank than yours
say if you're King of England and you push some guys claim for France he wont become you vassal since his titlerank will be equal to yours

>Protestantism: "If I convert I can take all the churches riches and use it to fuel my own ambitions".

i like how you try to present "dominating the developing world" as a failure. "us protestants never really wanted south america, honest!"

Oh, that makes sense, thanks user.

>Catholics have shiny building some they must be good!

There are no successful Catholic societies. Protestantism, on the other hand, paved the way for modernity by weakening the Catholic church.

ckiiwiki.com/Casus_Belli

You're supposed to get claims to other realms through other means like political marriages, plotting assassinations or inviting lower level landless claimants to your court, giving them land and then pushing their claim in a war. Remember that the title you're pushing for your new claimant must be LOWER than yours (f.ex. you're a King and the claimant's new title after war will be Duke or Count), otherwise if they're same or higher titled than you are they become an independent country. If you're becoming a huge blob, then holy war is also an option.

Fabricating claims with your Chancellor is for cases where you can in no other way get the title in question.

Never marry a female ruler.

God damn, I think I must have wasted like 500.000 gold in bribes and shit in the ensuing assassination sprees to try and unfuck my line of ascension because of marrying female rulers.

Oh, gee, then, I have been doing this the wrong way all the time. Thanks.

>Being proud of "dominating" a shithole, and being an important reason of why these places are shitholes in the first place

Sad

I only simulate incest in CK2, I don't actually partake in it IRL, I'll never be allowed to be Protestant.

Conversely, you'll never have a triple-digit IQ, you were born for it!

>hire a figurehead "leader" to do pr and garner liberal goodwill
>the machine rolls on unchanged
>child rape dungeons at full capacity

catholics know what they're doing

>le cletus meme

No wonder Catholics have produced almost no significant intellectuals in centuries

If you do fabricate a claim, and have the money and prestige for it, place the chancellor in the capital province of whatever duchy you want to take and there is a small chance you will get a claim to the entire duchy and not just one province.
