Another DLC too or a free patch?

>free

shiggidy diggidy

>TFW gonna wait more for AGOT to update

?
All Stellaris updates were free, first expack will be released only enxt month

Don't forget to buy the faces and music separate, Johan needs to take care all the Somali's he has taken into his house.

I can't wait, man.

What the fuck are you talking about? Is it a new epic meme or something

My game crashes to desktop after loading on startup when using HIP. What do?

Videogame developers should develop and support games for free. Fucking jews.

You tell me cuck

I'm far more interested in seeing how mods like Geheimnisnacht will use this.

I've never played any sort of grand strategy, but I did try out EU4. It was fun but I didn't keep at it because I sucked too much. How is CK2 and is it easier to learn for a retard like me?

Have got rid of shattered armies fleeing to the ends of the earth at sanic speeds?

>How is CK2 and is it easier to learn for a retard like me?

CK2 is much easier for most people because it deals with tangibles like characters and shit over a vague idea of being the state.

arguably CK2 is easier since a lot of the gameplay revolves around individuals and dynasties instead of specific nations.

You can turn that off now

In the old days, they used to constantly update their shit for free.

the 1.5 patch in CK1 practically doubled the content and was completely free.

Is this the stuff coming with the free update or the DLC?

Both, its a patch, but the major of the new content is locked behind a DLC paywall while a small part of it you get for free.

Thanks I'll give it a pirate and see and buy it if I'm smart enough for it.

Will this break saves? Because I'm Immortal and like 300 something years old

Nice

Cults are part of free patch. but cant join without DLC
Inventory is in the free patch but most items are obtainable via DLC only quests and activities.
Improved interface is free.

I got gifted this game like 2 years ago but never finished the tutorial, I should probably give it a go again.

I've been playing more strategy games as I get older. I finished a Shogun 2 campaign recently and loved it so I bought TW Warhammer and the campaign map side of things is way less interesting.

Any good youtube or outside sources to check out and learn about the game?

In CK2 you can just be the king and fuck the country.

It's a lot harder to "lose" as well, so long as you fire out enough babies.

The whole Dark Power thing is completely retarded, along with the whole magic and satanic shit. I'm only looking forward to this dlc since it would really change how chaos and artifacts work in Geheminshacht.

its an easy game, just dive into Feudal Ireland (nicknamed beginners island) and you'll be fine.

why does this game have an RTS tag? Also how does it differ from HoI? That's the only grand strat I ever played

how long til they update dark world to work with it

Gonna put my pirate glasses on.

Because people abhor learning new terms and "Grand Strategy" means jack shit to most.

>Also how does it differ from HoI?
HoI is heavily rooted in wargaming, only on grand scale.

>why does this game have an RTS tag
because Steam tags are stupid. dont bother with em
>Also how does it differ from HoI?
Generally speaking, the game moves away from its Industrial and World War focus for more medieval setting. You dont play as a country you play as a character of a dynasty, you marry, have kids, strengthen your dynasty, assassinate rivaling characters and try to get titles of yourself. then you die and play as one of your sons.

Thankfully there's a setting that lets you disable magic shit.

It's every man for himself, rather than factions. Games last much longer than one session. You play as a character rather than a country, and when your character dies, you continue on as your heir. Your expand territory by having your heir have claims to other fiefs (through marriage etc.) Traditional fabrication of claims is much trickier.

The most daunting initial thing will probably be wrapping your head around the feudal hierarchy of land ownership.

Counts -> Dukes -> Kings -> Emperors.

>satan worship
sounds dope

finally my edge will be fulfilled

Reminder

Finally going full meme mode it seems.

that sounds great, playing as a character sounds completely new to me and I'm convinced I'll give it a shot.

People kept complaining about mana points in the game so Paradox delivered.

All of this supernatural shit is great fun for the first time you get them, but after that it's just annoying whenever it pops up

Thankfully I can just disable that shit

The cross inverting on the religion tab is a nice touch, though technically it's St. Peter's cross and a holy symbol in Catholicism

Wow, this actually sounds really good. I haven't played since Conclave (bough it at release) due to the game changing in ways I hated - maybe this will bring me back.

Another new batch of shit nobody asked for brilliant. Meanwhile in "crusader" kings, crusaders fucking suck ass and catholism is boring as fuck.

Strange that modders didn't came with it, now youplay as a eastern african and actually win

Sounds like real life.

Hello Johan.

are you mentally challenged? paradox shits out one low energy dlc after the next
the stellaris dlc's take the cake though

i dont think you can more jewish than johan

>sweden
what did you expect?

Should I go Morocco for my first Muslim run or the Doge of Amalfi for Byzantine Catholic Republic jewry?

Refugees ain't gonna feed themselves.

GET HYP
who cares, everyone just pirates all the DLC anyway.

My personal favorite Muslim start is the count of Tripoli in 1066.

Yea but Paradox are usually bros with big DLCs for CK2 like this. If you actually want to give them money just buy the half a dozen content DLC on sale and just dont buy the 100 hats and portaits ones.

Finally the Germanic Saxon might actually 'survive' as Germanics.

Fuck off, they shouldn't even make such content in the first place
WHo fucking cares about muslims or germanic niggers

>Not wanting to go pillage Rome and carve out a new realm in Tripolitana as the New Germanic Emperor of Africa

East African is actually surprisingly easy so long as you rush for your holy sites and spawn your holy order.
Combined with prestige army spam and your holy order doomstack, you can do some serious smashing to your Muslim neighbors. This will in turn leave them vulnerable to outside influences and internal Strife's very quickly. It's what u do every time as a Shi'ite or some tribal Muslim heretic.
Still, there's quite a bit of room for demise, especially if youre seen as a juicy target by the ummyads.
It's a bit tryhard for my tastes, though
I'm assuming you turned that council trash off, of course.

>try to play this game
>600 mechanics available from the start
>no idea whats going on

I guess I had to start from 1.00 and learn the core stuff, then learn the other stuff as its added.
Getting into the game once its been expanded several times seems impossible.

I hope this means we'll get to see some mystical Islam or Sufism as options for Sunnis and Shias.
Quite frankly, the main religions are still a bit bland.

BY THE WAY, are there any mods or sub mods that expands upon Manichaeism?

CK2 was my first paradox game and it didn't take me that long to learn the basics. After the tutorial I understood the gist of things then after a few more hours I had a firm grasp of the mechanics. This was with all the DLC.

This.
First game I sat down and played, I grew a Shi'ite monster from a single count, crushed the Seljuk's resulting in their Balkanization, and expanded throughout Syria, Anatolia, and a bit into Jerusalem.

Haven't played it since Pagans were released. I remember trying to reform paganism or some shit to get decent laws, since it was infuriating to see my kingdom crumble and partitioned between my sons. Fucking rage quitted.

Get good and raid other pagan/Christian temples for small bumps to Moral Authority
t. Reformed Suomenusko

'nother game ruining DLC is headed your way, oh sick, prepare for your UI to get fucked up and clogged with options you can't use

>bros for releasing broken dlc
>bros for releasing content dlc for dlc which they released previusly
paradox are ultra kikes not bros.

Oh ffs...They dont do the one thing the game needs. A more complex battle system.
What retards.
I want more tactical control and more complexity and more control and implications of the terrain the battle is being fought in.
Also i want battle events in which decisions i make effect my army and traits of my generals etc..
Battle is such a huge part of the game and yet its basic as fuck.
Fuck these idiots. Not buying this game until and if combat is improved and will make sure to point it out to any of my friends who ask me about the game.

>A more complex battle system.
It's one of the few things that game doesn't need

actually they need to fix muslims being overpowered but I don't expect those disgusting swedes to do anything to weaken their pet muzzies

From what I remember when I played it you need certain generals for your units not to suck ass, like Scottish general for schiltrom, welsh archers or whatever. Really irritating.

Yes it does need it you apologist shill fuck.
Conquest is literally the best thing to do if you want more power and more game points.
The game essentiually drives you to conquest, its probably the only existing soft goal - to conquer.
And yet with all that combat is fucking trash in all its aspects.
I dont want total war. I dont want direct army control i just want more decisions to exist in relation to battles, generals, terrain etc..

What's so good about it? I only ever play Vikings for the gold and I just can't into playing as anyone else. Sell it to me please.

Ottomans are ridiculous as well in EU4 and so are Swedes. If Swedes get 20% infantry ability then 20% infantry ability should be standard and British, French and German countries should get 150% infantry ability.

>If Swedes get 20% infantry ability then 20% infantry ability should be standard and British, French and German countries should get 150% infantry ability.
Why?

Sweden empire had strongest army back then, learn some history
Of course they were cucked and their land was taken

German soldiers were fucking amazing as were French. Scottish, Irish and Welsh soldiers are fucking amazing as well. The British beat everyone simply because of how well drilled they were and could fire 2 shots for every French 1.

Swedish soldiers = literal dogshit (ok, hyperbole, they were disgustingly average). They had one God tier General-King.

>If Swedes get 20% infantry ability then 20% infantry ability should be standard and British, French and German countries should get 150% infantry ability.
lol no

>The British beat everyone
Full retard.

I'm finally going to do it. I'm finally going to transfer a Crusader Kings game to EUIV.

What time period should I start in and what country/person should I start as, anons?

>comparing different time periods to boast about how great Britain was
lel

Absolute plebian here, what tutorial would you recommend to learn the game?
I lost the link for the one series I was following when I tried getting into CK2 a while ago but want to try again.

Or are the in game tutorials good enough nowadays that I can just use them?

just play a game as an irish count

Sweden start the game as the cuck lads of Europe but they are a lucky nation. They start with 20% infantry ability when they were the top keks of the world just like now.

Good luck, you'll need it

>Paracuck games
>Hard
>Tutorials

Only HOI 2/3 are complex

start as a pagan count in Berlin at Charlemagne start date

What mod?

Start the same period you stop playing CK2. Continue playing your country or make a rival, dunno.

I watched the Arumba tutorials where he starts as the Lord of Desmond. Nice and comfy.

Kingdom of Jerusalem is a fine start, just pick a date where it was at highest extent

I meant in CK2.

And it's Geheimnisnacht.

What should I play as Sup Forums

...

Germanic and slavic pagans have old god awakening chain
Catholics have moremechanic than any other religion
Greeks can restore rome
Pick your poisonm I think I will try to roleplay as a dinasty of witches in the eastern france

>Greek

>Germanic and slavic pagans have old god awakening chain
Never done that. Is it full-on fantasy stuff or is it just religious dominance?

Fantasy/your personal insanity caused by alcohol and drugs
Still fun

Byzantines ARE Rome, you uncultured swine

And you literally had to buy 2 expansions to make HoI 3 playable and 2 to make Vicky 2 playable.
