Crusader Kings II + III

Okay danke, dann investiere ich das Geld erstmal lieber in meiner Hauptstadt/Hauptprovinz.

Der Kampfmalus beim Landen sind leider 30 Tage (jedenfallss bei mir). Das fand ich schon schwierig, den Gegner zu erwischen, weil man per Boot schneller ist.

 

Ok, wusste ich nicht mehr auswendig.

 

Bin gerade etwas ernüchtert und muss mir die Last von meinem bösen Erobererherzen werfen *kaiser*

Ich wollte natürlich den Struggle um Iberien spielen. Bin gestartet als Menéndez in Galizien. Nach einer Generation König von Galizien, Leon und Kastilien.
Was soll ich sagen: hat einfacher geklappt als gedacht. Es war nie so einfach Iberien zu erobern. Alle Muslimreiche sind von alleine zerbröselt wie Kekse und waren einfache Ziele für mich und meine Vasallen. Innerhalb eines Jahrhunderts war alles meins.

Und genau da bin ich in die Falle getappt, denn ich kann den Konflikt nie mehr lösen. Mir gehört alles! und kann doch nie Kaiser werden. Baue wie doof Burgen aus, aber es reicht nicht.
Kann auch in der Versöhnungsphase und Konsolidierung nicht gewinnen. Meinem Sohn alle weiteren Titel zu geben und auf unter 50%-Iberien + Bündnis zu gehen geht nicht, da meine Vasallen nicht überwechseln wegen DeJure-Problemen bei Titelvergabe.
Das heißt eine Lösung in diesem Spiel wird jetzt super kompliziert und kaugummizäh.

An sich ist die Mechanik interessant und ich genieße den Kampf um Iberien, aber die sehr restriktive Politik zur Lösung ist absurd (aus meiner SIcht).

Was mich am meisten ärgert: Arabien ist einmal keine Supermacht, da es quasi implodiert ist. Meine Dynastie sitzt dementsprechend schon in Kairo und Jerusalem als Herzöge.Mittlerweile auch in Mali. Die Welt liegt mir (außer Spanien) zu Füßen.
Das Frankenreich ist auf ähnliche Weise implodiert. Aus dem Nicht hatte Westfranken Italien und Lothringen inne, gründet das Kaiserreich Franken, nur damit der nächste Erbe es wieder auflöst. Einzig Byzanz ist eine "Bedrohung".

 

Einfach weiterspielen, dann beginnen die Phasen wieder gänzlich von vorne.

Aber ja, es fehlt definitiv eine friedliche Option für Reiche mit über 50% an Provinzen. Ich bin in genau die gleiche Falle in meiner Jimena-Kampagne gelaufen und habe einfach null Bock jetzt zwei weitere Phasen abzuwarten, um dann die Kriegsphase zu forcieren.


Und ja, bei der KI sollte man vielleicht die Hürde für die Zerstörung des Primärtitels etwas höher legen, denn die Vasallen sind in der Hinsicht doch recht oft zu erfolgreich. In bisher jeder Runde (4 an der Zahl) implodierten bei mir die muslimischen Reiche. in 2 davon Byzanz und Italien ebenfalls in jedem, was dann bisher jedes Mal zu einem Superpapst führte, der ganz Italien in 900 beherrschte und mit Söldnern 20k Einheiten unterhalten konnte. Da muss definitiv nochmal am Balancing bzw. Verhalten der KI geschraubt werden.

 

Aber die Phasen gehen doch nicht in voller Rotation, oder? Also die Feindliche Phase wird nicht zwangsläufig nach getriggerd weil vorher die Konsolodierung dran war? Man muss sie triggern? Das ist für mich aber sehr schwer. Meine Vasallen arbeiten aktiv gegen meine Bemühungen.

 

Doch, wurde kein "Sieger" festgestellt, starten alle Phasen erneut von vorne. Und ja, um den Struggle endgültig zu beenden, muss man irgendeinen der "Siege" erreichen...

 

Ja. Aber die Phase die man haben möchte muss man erstmal triggern können, oder nicht?

Egal. Habe innerhalb Dynastie zur Unabhänigigkeit Titel vergeben, so dass ich auf unter 50%-Iberienbesitz gekommen bin. Meinen Sohn konnte ich entsprechend sofort verbündeln, die anderen haben sich gegenseitg geschluckt und nach 5 Jahren war die Konsolidierung erreicht *überraschung*.

Sohn erbt alles -> Kaiser

 

Ja, das stimmt natürlich. An sich finde ich die Idee gut, aber ein bisschen muss daran noch gedreht werden.

Immerhin hat es bei dir geklappt.

Paradox passt die Preise der beiden Flavour Packs für CK3 an und erhöht diese massiv (Steigerung von fast 100%), weil dies eher dem Wert der Inhalte der DLCs entspricht.

https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/ck3-changes-to-flavor-pack-pricing.1538700/

Tja, sind das die zukünftigen Preise für so marginale Veränderungen, dann bin ich da erstmal raus. Was säuft man eigentlich nach Lack? Paradox muss davon einen ordentlichen Schluck runtergeorgelt haben.

 

Naja, mit CK3 hat man es endgültig geschafft sich für einen breiteren Markt attraktiv zu machen, jetzt nutzt man das und will abkassieren.
Mal gucken wie das mit Vicky 3 läuft.

 

Die Abenteuer der Steam Seite, nichts vor dem man sich fürchten müsste... außer den Preisen.

Bleibt nur zu hoffen, dass die DLCs nach einiger Zeit mit Rabatten zu >50% zu kriegen sind.

Die Begründung, dass die Mehrkosten nicht zur Verbesserung sondern nur zum Erhalt der Qualität dienen sollen ist beim Release-Zustand so manchen Paradox-Produktes auch kein Anreiz da zum Vollpreis zuzuschlagen.

 

DD zu KI Änderungen
https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/developer-diary/ck3-dev-diary-104-ai-ai-ai.1539411/

Spoiler

Ziele die sich PDX gesteckt hat:

Wirtschaft

• Unterschiedliche Persönlichkeiten wie sie die Wirtschaft aufbauen
• Besseres Risikomanagment der KI
• KI baut mehr Gebäude
• KIs halten ihr persönliches Gebiet zusammen und verbessern dieses

Diplomatie

• KI Reiche haben es einfacher ihre Reich wieder aufzubauen nachdem es zerfallen ist, auch ohne Krieg (diplomatisches vassallisieren)
• KI ist aggressiver um ihr Reich Stabil zu halten
• KI erzeugt Tyrannei wenn es nötig ist

Und die Mongolen sollen stärker werden

Es wird in Zukunft 4 Persönlichkeiten für die Wirtschaft geben

Kriegerisch:
KI bereitet sich für den Krieg vor, da bedeutet Kriegskasse und Truppen. Falls gerade kein Krieg ansteht wird das eigene Gebiet mit Militärgebäuden verbessert.

Vorsichtig:
Wird selten aggressive Kriege führen, die Truppen dennoch aufrüsten um sich sicher zu fühlen. Ist die KI mit ihrem Militär zufrieden wird alles was über ist in die Wirtschaft gesteckt.

Bauer:
Die Bauer vernachlässigen ihr Militär und Kriegskasse etwas um ihr Reich mit Wirtschaftsgebäuden zu verbessern

Unberechenbar:
Diese haben keine vorgeschriebene Richtung und können alle 3 der oben genannten Richtungen einschlagen

Die KI kennt 3 Phasen für die wirtschaftliche Entwicklung. Hauptstadtentwicklung. Domänenentwicklung und späte Entwicklung. Diese Phasen finden in dieser Reihenfolge statt.

Die Hauptstadtentwicklung ist das Erste was die KI macht. Egal welchen Archetyp sie hat die KI wird die eigene Hauptstadt aufbauen und dort so viele Gebäude errichten wie möglich.
Bei der Domänenentwicklung werden auch umliegende Gebiete welche die KI kontrolliert ausgebaut. Hier kommt die Persönlichkeit zu tragen und es kann auch sein das die KI Soldaten verbessert oder weiter die Hauptstadt ausbaut
Die späte Entwicklung fängt an wenn die umliegenden Gebiete aus Phase 2 ausgebaut sind. Hier kommt dann die Persönlichkeit voll zu tragen.

Eine Übersicht über die Entwicklung im Spiel mit Patch


Die KI wird versuchen komplette Herzogtümer zu kontrollieren, angefangen beim Herzogtum der Hauptstadt. Dafür wird die KI auch Tyrannei erzeugen wenn es nicht anders geht (die Persönlichkeit der KI und die Beziehung zu den Grafen ist natürlich weiterhin wichtig).
Dadurch werden KIs stärker als bisher da sie eine bessere Machtbasis kontrollieren und diese auch gezielt ausbauen.

Die Berechnung ob ein Reiche eine freiwillige akzeptiert wurde auch geändert und die KI überprüft öfter ob eine Vassallisierung möglich ist. Dadurch werden sich Gebiete wo ein Reich zersplittert ist schneller wieder zusammensetzen.

Es gab auch einen schweren Bug das bei einem Heiligen Krieg die KI nie zur Verteidigung von Glaubensbrüdern geeilt ist. Das wurde jetzt gefixt.

Die KI wird auch viel mehr darauf achten ihr Reich stabil zu halten, öfters überprüfen ob sie Ratsmissionen ändern muss und auch öfter mit Sway arbeiten oder versuchen Geheimnisse zu finden und dann vassallen zu erpressen, etwas was die KI bisher nicht getan hat.
Auch andere Dinge wie ihre Kinder von Vassallen erziehen lassen wird die KI nutzen um das Reich stabil zu halten.


Man hat der KI auch beigebracht die Sammelpunkte für die Armee näher an den Konfliktherd zu legen damit die Truppen nicht so lange laufen müssen. Das hilft vor allem den Mongolen die jetzt auch besser darin sind ihre Ziele auszuwählen

 

Paradox: We will only release Flavour and Major Packs for CK3

Paradox now: https://www.paradoxinteractive.com/...i/add-ons/crusader-kings-iii-friends-and-foes

Das ist im Grunde normaler Update-Content für einen Aufpreis.

 

Deßhalb auch die Preisanhebung; jetzt kann man solche Minierweiterungen für 8€ verkaufen.

 

Bestehende DLCs verteuern um eine neue DLC-Kategorie zu pushen, die suggeriert günstig zu sein.

Den Shareholdern gefällt das

 

DD über das 1.7 Basion update
https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/foru...lopment-diary-105-1-7-bastion-update.1540182/

Spoiler

Mit dem 1.7 Patch hat jeder Charakter Erinnerungen an Ereignisse und Erlebnisse. Diese Erinnerungen können dann in Events und Entscheidungen miteinfließen.
Aber nicht alle Erinnerungen bleiben für immer bestehen sondern sie können irgendwann verblassen


Bei Freunden und Rivalen steht jetzt immer dabei warum diese Person zu deinem Freund oder Rivale wurde.



Es gibt 12 neue Kindheitsevents um neue Traitskombinationen zu ermöglichen

Es soll auch generell etwas an den Kindheitsevents geändert worden sein, aber es gibt keine Details dazu

Und es gibt 2 neue Traits für Herrscher, hauptsächlich für Vasallen
Loyal und Illoyal



Wie genau das alles mit dem geleakten Event Pack Friends&Foes zusammen hängt ist noch unbekannt.
Bringt der Patch die Mechaniken für Erinnerungen usw. die Events die darauf aufbauen gibt es nur im DLC?
Das wird wohl erst nächste Woche beantwortet.

 

Naja wir Spieler haben PDX halt immer wieder bewiesen, dass auch verstärkte Monetarisierung mögich ist ohne groß Spielerschaft zu verlieren.
Mehr noch; gerade bei CK3 habe ich das Gefühl durch die Zugänglichkeit und Vereinfachung hat man sich einem größeren Käuferkreis eröffnen können.

 

https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/announcing-ck3-friends-and-foes.1540341/#post-28446332

$4.99, also wohl 5€ hier.

 

Dann haben sie gestern wirklich auf die Reaktionen geachtet, um dann den Preis entsprechend anpassen zu können

EDIT: Hab den Community Manager diesbezüglich (auf den offiziellen CK3 Discord) gefragt, und das war seine Antwort.

 

"5er für ein optionales Flavor/Event-Pack sind völlig in Ordnung."

Dass hier erweiterte Mechaniken für Freunde/Feinde und auch eine Memories-Mechanik angekündigt wird sieht niemand.
Riecht schon wieder nach semi-musthave und nicht nach optional...

 

Die Mechaniken sind im Patch

 

Mein Fehler!

 

Ich dachte die Erinnerungsmechanik sei Teil des 1.7 Patches, genau wie die KI-Änderungen.
Es erscheint mir eher fragwürdig, ob sich die 5 Euronen für die mehr als 100 Ereignisse lohnen, wenn man bedenkt, dass der VIET-Mod rund 800 hinzufügt. Naja, soll jeder selbst entscheiden.
Ich würde die Entwickler gerne unterstützen, wenn sie dafür größere DLCs releasen und nicht häppchenweise kleinere.

 

Hätten sie diese Nachricht bei der Ankündigung angehängt, hätten sie sich den größten Tumult womöglich gespart.
Wie seht ihr das? Seit ihr Zwiegespalten was die DLC - Politik anbelangt, oder würdet ihr Akzeptanz darin finden, wenn sie klar und deutlich mitteilen weshalb sie dies machen?

 

We've all got bills to pay, seriously?

Ihr seid eine AG, nicht der nette Garagenentwickler von nebenan. Act accordingly.

 

Machen sie doch?
Ob es funktioniert? Mal sehen da so PDX direkt mit moddern konkurrieren muss.
Aber vielleicht bleiben uns so diese unwichtigen klick Mechaniken erspart die keinen wirklichen Einfluss auf das Spiel haben dürfen weil ja nicht jeder sie hat.

 

Bezweifel ich. Die meisten Forenuser sind der Entwicklung in der letzten Zeit bezüglich CK3 einfach überdrüssig geworden:

- Regional Pricing rigoros gekillt
- bisherige DLC wurden von vielen schon als "zu wenig Inhalt fürs Geld" empfunden
- Preise erhöht
- entgegen der damaligen Versprechen eine neue DLC-Art gebracht

Und gerade Events hinter $$$ zu stecken, während das Grundspiel diese extrem vermissen lässt, ist in meinen Augen auch nur ein weiteres Armutszeugnis in dieser Liste. Und dann sind etliche Events in letzter Zeit und besonders in diesem DLC ala Monty Python. Ein paar zum Auflockern sind gern gesehen, aber wenn diese Überhand nehmen, fasse ich mir an den Kopf. Zusätzlich sind die meisten Events dann auch noch super generisch, was die Folgen angeht: Meistens nur irgendwelche marginalen Ereignisse ohne irgendwelche schwierigen Entscheidungen, während sie on top auch noch innerhalb der Spielwelt oftmals keinerlei Sinn ergeben.

In Anbetracht von HoI IV, EUIV und Stellaris verstehe ich den Weg, den Paradox seit CK3 eingeschlagen hat, aber gut heißen muss ich es deswegen noch lange nicht. Und 100 Events + Musik für 5€ oder VIET mit 800 Events und du kannst den Moddern ebenfalls 5€ zustecken, wenn du möchtest. Und da wir schon bei Mods sind, bin ich mal sehr gespannt, wie Paradox die DLC bei Victoria 3 verpacken wird, denn seit Äonen wird es das erste Spiel von Paradox sein, wo du selbst in einem gemoddeten Spielstand die Achievements freispielen kannst. Letztendlich ist dies ein Grund für einige Hardcore-User nur offiziellen Content zu konsumieren und diese können mitunter sehr laut sein.

 

DD mit einigen Beispielen von Events aus dem DLC
https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/developer-diary/dd-106-a-fistful-of-friends-foes.1540926/

 

Update + DLC ist raus, und als relativ neuer Spieler mach ich mich jetzt um die verstärkte KI sorgen

 

Patchnotes

Spoiler

###################

# Expansion Features

###################

• Over one hundred new events and event chains which expand upon the relationships you have with your family, friends, rivals, best friends, and nemeses. Experience a much more varied pool of random events every year, as well as specific heart-wrenching (or heart-stabbing!) reactive content for when you, as an example, lie dying, or when someone close to you takes part in a foreign battle.
  • New events for finding and living with spouses: spoil your partners and suffer the consequences, deal with multiple rival spouses pushing their children to be first in the line of succession, rein in (or allow) an overly-zealous spouse from burning books to ensure your children remain pure, and seek out a potential partner who must first be defeated in combat before they will allow you to take their hand in marriage!
  • Manage life as a parent: deal with squabbles between children vying for their line in succession, correspond with a married-off offspring, and assuage the doubts and jealousy of the child of a concubine who wishes to be treated equally to their siblings.
  • Navigate the pitfalls of life as a Medieval child: make a friend at a bonfire, fend off would-be fratricide or sororicide from envious siblings, and swear eternal vengeance on bullies after they break your favorite toy.
  • Explore the joys of friendship: share war stories with an old friend and make a new one at the bathhouse. Resist the temptations of a dead friend’s spouse throwing amorous glances your way, forgive your gluttonous best mate for eating you out of house and home, stage an intervention for a companion when they are far too fond of a drink, attempt to matchmake for a lonely confidant, and attempt to ease the suffering of a friend as they pass on from this life.
  • Discover the depths of rivalry with your rivals: get into brawls on the wharf and in the pub, arm-wrestle to prove a point, burn their artifacts in front of them, wait until a bitter nemesis dies and then dig them up and defile their body to get back at them even after death. Sleep with your rivals’ offspring, or even sleep with them! Be careful of the consequences…
  • From small storylets to larger event chains, this content will weave new dramatic narratives about friendships, vengeance, feuds between houses, memories of the past, and much, much more.
• New mood music focusing on the Middle East, the Western sphere, and some that fit regardless of where you play

###################

# Free Features

###################

• Added an additional set of 12 new Childhood Personality Events, this will make certain personality trait combinations much more likely to appear, and also makes certain combinations possible that previously weren’t. The trait combinations are balanced in such a way that the choice for you as a guardian should be more interesting:
  • diligent, gregarious, temperate
  • zealous, ambitious, sadistic
  • shy, paranoid, craven
  • lazy, gluttonous, compassionate
  • lustful, chaste
  • just, greedy, callous
  • humble, cynical, content
  • vengeful, deceitful, calm
  • generous, fickle, arrogant
  • forgiving, trusting, patient
  • honest, arbitrary, impatient
  • brave, stubborn, wrathful
• When a Friend, Best Friend, Rival, Nemesis, Lover, or Soulmate relation is formed, a reason will now be stated. For example: “Kaiser Heinrich and King Philippe shared an excellent feast in Aachen” or “Basileus Andreas swore to avenge the death of Aristarchos, who was slain in battle by Ulf Munk”. These reasons can be viewed for any character in the Relationships tab in the Character Window, presuming the relation is public.
• Added relationship icons on character portraits so you can see who is your friend/rival/lover at a glance, along with an informative tooltip
• Characters now have Memories of things happening in their lives (children born, battles won, rivals killed, etc etc.). These memories are used in events and other content. For example, if you are murdered your assassin might cite a grievance that your killer had against you. These memories might fade with time, and are usually lost on death. For certain characters memories are preserved longer or even forever (such as rulers the player has controlled, and high tier rulers).
• Memories can be viewed by opening the Memory Viewer from the character window, via a button in the same place as the Kill List, Inventory, and Lifestyle.
  • Memories are listed chronologically alongside the date they were added (you can flip direction with a toggle).
  • Private memories will not be visible unless it’s your own character, or you are in Observer mode. (private memories such as gaining a lover or murdering someone).
  • You can view the public memories of any character in the world.
  • Memory lists can be copied to the clipboard via a button and shared outside the game.
  • For convenience you can pin the Memory Viewer to one character, or browse through different characters while keeping the Memory Viewer open.
  • Memories are collected up during game play time, but some characters may start with some already in place.
• Added the Loyal/Disloyal Traits, which affect how likely a character is to join factions, cheat on their spouse, etc. These traits are integrated as Sins/Virtues, hooked into Cultural Traditions, and can be gained through new events.
• Reworked Populist Factions in order to improve their functionality, especially in regards to how they interact with player vassals:
  • Vassals directly affected by a Populist Revolt now get a letter from the revolt leader, asking the vassal how they will respond to their demand. The vassal may:
    • Join the war and help their liege
    • Convert to the faction's culture and/or faith and join the war on the side of the rebels
    • Stay out of the war and do nothing (though still risk losing land if the liege loses the war)
  • AI vassals are most likely to join the war on the side of their liege, but can in rare cases pick either of the other two options
  • Made it so that AI lieges will never accept the faction demand if a player vassal is targeted by the faction (this will finally allow player vassals to intervene and help protect their own realm)
  • Greatly increased the military strength of Populist Factions, to compensate for the fact that vassals can join the war:
    • Populist armies now spawn a few basic Men-at-Arms in addition to levies
    • Populist armies spawn Siege Weapons depending on their culture's innovations, allowing them to better scale into the late game
    • Populist factions now generate a few commanders to lead their troops
  • The populist leader will now get some extra gold upon victory, to ensure that they can afford creating titles and Men-at-Arms
  • Reduced the rate at which factions gain discontent for being over the military power threshold. In practice, this will give rulers a longer time to react before factions press their ultimatum (especially when the faction is only slightly stronger than their target)
  • A successful Populist Faction will no longer usurp or create an existing title if they don't control at least 50% of its De Jure (this is to prevent titles from being usurped too easily)
  • Increased the restrictions for a successful Populist Faction to create custom kingdoms and duchies. They will primarily attempt to create a title without a holder or usurp an existing title
  • Rulers participating in a Populist Faction will now become independent if they have too high a rank to be vassalized by the populist leader, instead of remaining a vassal to their old liege
  • The leader of a successful Populist Faction should no longer steal counties from rulers joining the revolt
• Added 14 new event illustrations
  • Food Cellar
  • Crossroads with Inn
  • Hills
  • Plains
  • Bonfire
  • Kitchen (Western)
  • Jungle
  • Desert/Drylands
  • Docks (Tribal)
  • Castle Corridor Day/Night (Indian)
  • Courtyard (Indian)
  • Courtyard (MENA)
  • Relaxing Room
  • Wetlands
• 7 new character animations for events
  • Assassination pose with raised knife
  • Eavesdropping
  • Eye Rolling
  • Laughing
  • Drinking from Goblet
  • Holding Lantern
  • Toast Using Tankard

- Reduced the vassalization acceptance bonus from the Diplomatic Court Type

# AI

###################

- AI characters are now much less likely to convert to Adamitism, only truly irrational characters will consider it

- AI characters will now more often accept imprisonment and revoke title demands made by Genghis Khan

- AI rulers will now hire and preserve a Seneschal Court Position if they have Counties with low control, regardless of debt level (if at peace)

- AI's with the Peacemaker perk or the Stalwart Defenders tradition will now end wars earlier

- Barons will now use more of their gold on building buildings

- City Barons in Drylands and Deserts now prefer economic buildings over building camel farms

- Depending on personality, the AI will now much more aggressively pursue control through revocation of Counties in its primary title's capital duchy as long as it has room in its domain, taking on a modicum of tyranny when doing so. This makes the AI better at consolidating a powerbase for their realm.

- Make attacker Dukes, Kings and Emperors raise their armies in a safe county close to the war goal county that is closest to their capital.

- Make defending Dukes, Kings and Emperors raise their armies in a safe county close to the war goal county that is closest to their capital.

- Players are fickle on the best of days and dishonorable on the worst! No longer shall we depend on their assistance when we declare our righteous wars for [GetWarReason]! They may still interfere with our plans, so we will still be weary of enemy player alliances.

- Removed the restriction on Shy and Callous characters on using the Sway scheme

- Slightly lowered the AI's preference to buy MaA over buildings

- The AI is now choosier when using the interaction to select who to seduce/romance; they will tend to want fertile characters close to their own age, unless there are special circumstances (deviants will seduce anyone, lustful/temptation focus characters have a larger age span, temptation focused characters want to seduce vassals/liege/realm priests, only irrational and lustful/incestuous characters may seduce much older family members, and everyone is free to seduce their own spouse/s). Note that this does not affect seductions/romances started via events.

- The AI is now more inclined to use the Organize Army task when bankrupt if they're rational

- The AI now attempts vassalizations more frequently

- The AI now slightly favors building the really good economic buildings (Farm Estates, Orchards, Cereal Fields, Quarries, Logging Camps, Regimental Camps)

- The AI will be better at using the Support Schemes council task when they are performing murder schemes

- The AI will no longer accept a negotiated alliance from someone they want to revoke land from in their primary duchy

- The AI will no longer launch directed great holy wars/Jihads on an area where they would get less than 5 counties

- The AI will no longer spend time swaying non-councillor barons

- The AI will now always construct Farm Estates or Orchards before constructing Trade Posts

- The AI will now join defensive Holy Wars if they're decently Zealous and Bold, with enough gold to support their armies for a time

- The AI will now more aggressively use the fabricate hook scheme on vassals with modifiable contracts, especially if the vassal's spymaster is poor (and thus the success chance is higher)

- The AI will now much more aggressively pursue control through revocation of its primary title's de jure capital county and duchy.

- The AI will now not want to build Duchy Capital or Special buildings before they've filled all regular building slots

- The AI will now only consider Artifact Wars against close rulers

- The AI will now recreate destroyed temporal Head of Faith titles (such as the caliphates) much more frequently

- The AI will now send spare children to be educated by vassals in order to increase their opinion

- The AI will now spend more of its money on Buildings and MaA, depending on stage of the game and personality. Early on, most AI's will want to develop the buildings in their capital quickly, and later in the game their willingness to spend gold will in large parts depend on which personality archetype of these they fall into: Warmonger, Cautious, Builder, or Unpredictable. The AI boldness value also plays a big part.

- AI's with an 'Builder' personality will now prefer filling free building slots with Economic buildings

- The AI will now target their Realm Priest with the Sway scheme much more frequently

- The AI will now tend to sway unhappy vassals for longer

- The AI will now try to appoint a righteous caliph (the decision to create your own caliphate as for example Muwhalladi) much more often

- The AI will now try to educate their children in languages that their future subjects will speak, to prepare them for rulership

- The AI will now use Commission Artifact, Hunt, and Feast less often when they don't have a lot of spare gold, and even less if they're of an 'Economic Boom' personality archetype

- The AI will now use Disrupt Schemes when appropriate (paranoid, threatened by siblings, targeted by an exposed scheme, etc)

- The AI will now use the Befriend, Romance, and Learn Language schemes somewhat more frequently

- The AI will now use the Develop Capital and Expedite Schemes decisions

- The AI will now use the Find Secrets council task if they are sufficiently devious/dishonorable

- The AI will now use the Sway scheme much more frequently

- The AI will now use the stress reducing decision granted by stress traits more often (except for the ones where they wound themselves or spend a lot of gold, those remain rarer)

- The AI will now vastly prefer building all tier 1 buildings in its capital county before starting on secondary holdings

- The AI will now want to build all tier 1 buildings in a province before upgrading them

- The AI will now want to revoke secondary baronies that it can hold if it's below domain limit

- The Mongol Empire and its successor khanates are now less likely to simply give in to faction demands without a fight

- The Mongols will now never give in to Dissolution or Independence wars, they will always fight

- The Mongols will now prefer invading eastern european lands over the byzantine empire (no guarantees, though!)

- Zealous AI's will now attempt to get their children educated by their head of faith

- Zealous AI's will now sometimes send gifts to the defender in a GHW if they're nearing bankruptcy

- The AI will no longer Bestow Royal Favor on vassals of vassals

- Fixed combat evaluation incorrectly used on sea zones, leading to many naval invasions being impossible.

- The bypass_requirements console cheat was removed for Laws, because it messed up succession logic. Changed the cheat a bit so it will not cheat you out of your succession.

• Crusade Targeting - Fixed so that Crusades check for current military strength when excluding target kingdoms instead of max military strength

• Crusade Targeting - Distance is now a much greater factor when determining a crusade target
  
• Crusade Targeting - Catholic Crusades are now much less likely to select a kingdom in the African interior, and slightly less likely to pick a north African kingdom (if the Holy Land is taken, we want the crusades to focus on going deeper into the middle east rather than to die from attrition in the Sahara)

PDX arbeitet weiter an einem großen Projekt (nehme an Erweiterung), dieses Jahr kommt das aber nicht mehr raus und wird wohl auch nicht mal angekündigt.
Sie wollen aber noch ein kleines, kostenloses Update rausbringen.

Da es daher kaum DDs geben wird will PDX stattdessen auf anderen Plattformen mit der Community in Kontakt bleiben (Discord, Twitch usw.)
Eine genaue Liste mit Links gibt im PDX Forum.
https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/foru...iary-scheduling-community-activities.1543480/

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JUou7oGx1o

Am 11.11.22 erscheint mal wieder Skyrim, dieses mal für Crusader Kings III.

 

Hm, mal sehen.
Fantasy Mods haben weiterhin ein Problem mit den 3D Modellen. Menschen und menschenähnliche Rassen wie Elfen, Zwerge und auch Orks gehen noch, aber es wird seinen Grund haben warum der Trailer keine Kahjit oder Argonier gezeigt hat.

 

Kahjit waren auf Bildern schon zu sehen und die Argonier sind sogar im Stream zu sehen gewesen, Bei 2:09:45
Elder Kings 2 - Post-ModCon Q&A + Multiplayer Gameplay Stream

 

Eine Roadmap, obwohl eher ein Bauplan für die Zukunft.

Spoiler

Paradox strebt einen Zyklus mit 4 Releases (Groß und Klein) pro Jahr an.
Für das nächste Jahr gibt es wieder einen Season Pass, diesmal aber mit einer großen Erweiterung gleich am Anfang.

Die nächste Erweiterung hat einen RP Fokus und soll den Verbindung zwischen Charakter und Karte verbessern, und nein es ist nicht Handel. Was sie einbauen soll komplett neu sein und nicht aus CK2 stammen. Dann will PDX umschwenken und die nächsten Erweiterungen sollen die mechanische Seite des Spiels verbessern.

Flavour Packs sollen beibehalten werden und auch die "Interessanten" Regionen wie England, Frankreich usw. verbessern. Allerdings spielt PDX mit dem Gedenken diese Packs nicht immer auf Regionen zu beschränken sondern auch andere Themen zu verbessern.

Es gibt mehrere oft gewünschte Themenbereiche die PDX mit Priorität betrachtet.
- Handel und Handelsrepubliken
Wollen sie umsetzen, die Implementierung in CK2 war aber sehr unbefriedigend. Die große Frage ist wie man Handel in das bestehende Spiel integriert da Herrscher zu der Zeit eigentlich nichts mit Handel zu tun hatten.

- Imperiale Mechaniken
PDX will Wege finden das sich Kaiserreiche anders spielen als nur große Königreiche und das von einer Erweiterung zu diesem Thema nicht nur Spieler vom Kaiser selbst profitieren sondern das es auch Content für die Untertanen von Kaisern gibt.

- Religion
Religion ist zwar schon ziemlich gut in CK3, man kann es aber immer weiter verbessern. Vor allem soll es mehr mit dem täglichen Leben verwoben werden da man Religion im Moment viel zu leicht ignorieren kann was sehr ahistorisch ist.

- Nomaden
Will man auch irgendwann einbauen, allerdings in einer umfänglicheren Rolle anstatt das Nomaden nur Krieg können und jeder Anführer ein kleiner Genghis Kahn ist.

- Late Game
Die Schwäche aller PDX Spiele. Das Team will auch schauen wie sie das Spiel länger interessant halten können anstatt nur für etwa 200 Jahre.

Dann gibt es auch noch generelle Bereiche die PDX mit Priorität verbessern will

- Allianzen
Im Moment zu Binär. Außerdem kann es sein das man durch Hochzeiten ewig Kriege führen muss die man nicht führen will und es ist auch etwas nervig sich gute Allianzen zu suchen.

- Clans
Fühlen sich im Moment zu sehr wie feudale Herrscher an.

- Krieg
Krieg soll generell etwas überarbeitet werden (Versorgung), aber auch umgestalltet werden das es einen noch größeren Charakterfokus hat und man nicht immer von Popups und anderen Events unterbrochen wird.

- Stacking
Im Moment kann man sehr viele Modifikatoren stacken so das es im Krieg eher darauf ankommt wer mehr Modifikatoren hat anstatt wer welche Truppen wie einsetzt. Das soll neu gebalanced und auch Modifikatoren selbst überdacht werden.

- KI
Natürlich immer ein Thema (Kreuzzüge) wo PDX eine Balance zwischen guter, spaßiger KI und nicht zu guter KI finden muss.
