Crusader Kings 2




I've been getting into most of the major Paradox grand strategy games lately - EU3, HoI3, even dabbled a bit in Sengoku. But one I could never get into was Crusader Kings. The UI was too dated and complex, the gameplay confusing (though that's nothing new with Paradox games) etc. so I am really thrilled for this one.
Just to understand how crazy this game can be take a look at this if you like clickity. It's a narrative screenshot LP done by a member of SA.
Anyway I'm looking forward to it (my major gripe at the moment is you cannot yet pre-order it on Steam though I was told that they were gonna make it available asap) and thought this deserved a thread with a proper template.

Oh yeah this game is going to be great!
Crusader Kings II, King Arthur II, and so close together too! It's going to be hard to decide what to play...


I'm in the same situation as you, Reklis, as I also only found out about (or rather got interested) Crusader Kings a long time after it was released and I just didn't manage to get into it mostly due to it's strange old interface.
So I've been eagerly awaiting CK2 which has a much cleaner interface and just looks like an even better game overall.

I might have begged the Paradox Ceo on twitter to let me into the beta. Not saying I did but I might... xD

total war style battles you mean? nope
it has the strategic map battles like hearts of iron, europa universalis, victoria and sengoku.

this game is all about building a dynasty, not battles.

Been looking forward to this, and judging by the demo it doesn't look like it'll disappoint. Paradox really has been doing great the last few years.

How to play other characters in the demo:
1. Choose one of the 4 you can normally play.
2. Press start game.
3. Quickly select another character on the map while the interface disappears.
4. ???
5. Profit!

And you can edit the defines.txt and bookmarks.txt and set the demo date some years back - recommend not to set it too far back tho (lack of characters). But the demo limit is the year of 1086 and not static 20 years. More on the Paradox forum...

I already did that, even used the tool to set all other dates back, now I can play 400 years with all characters intact Wink

Well, at first glance, the map now actually looks gorgeous. Not as bland as HOI3 or Sengoku. And oh my fucking god, there are buttloads of tutorials. I'll be kept busy for a while. Very Happy

Some of the tutorials are actually a small window with text and nothing else. You'll be done with them very quickly Smile
The demo looked great but I never seem to understand paradox games...I just don't know what to do with myself.

No, apparently Amazon already shipped the copies but you have to activate them on steam.
So I guess it's not encrypted then, like other steam only games.

Great way to start the weekend! Was just playing the demo, with the year 666 cheat thingy and it crashed and then this!
Even just the demo kicks ass, this game will never leave my harddisk!
