CK3 looks good but we all know the media and yotubers get some sort of less buggy premium promotional version.

If the premium media build exists I do not understand why they do not simply release it.

You can already make cadet branches, how hard is it to make up something like "Italo-Norman" or "Anglo-Norse"?

It would be easier but I can see why they didn't do it just yet.

They probably need to fix some bugs, do balancing etc. This is paradox we are talking about. They do that even after a game has been released.
Purpelia does not reflect my actual world views. In fact, the vast majority of Purpelian cannon is meant to shock and thus deliberately insane. I just like playing with the idea of a country of madmen utterly convinced that everyone else are the barbarians. So play along or not but don't ever think it's for real.



The above post contains hyperbole, metaphoric language, embellishment and exaggeration. It may also include badly translated figures of speech and misused idioms. Analyze accordingly.

Oh yeah, I'm just pointing out that melting pot cultures are a lot easier to add to CK3 with its mechanics than it was in CK2.

Looks like they can apply it to Imperator too. Which is good, because Universes, just like Rome, were not built in a day. :p

They revisited In Taberna for CK3. They remastered a whole bunch of other songs if I know correctly, but a link to this one ended up on my Reddit first, so..

Just so you, this is not a ploy to usurp Bralia as the resident 'linking interesting things about [PDX GAME] you found on the internet person.'

Eight years on, so many expansions, and the next game is just days away and I've still never played a game of CK2 in India.

Russia and that whole general area makes you hate the very idea of steppe people. I enjoy playing in East Africa, West Africa exists.

Idk why, but for some reason creating custom nations and playing as an existing nation is so satisfying. Like, I just like seeing the shenanigans I've created with my custom nations whom I've created on Very Easy level.
One of my nation's got excommunicated though lol.

The Indian nations are always too stable and evenly matched to be interesting, and the mechanics for Indian religions are dull. I had a pretty fun time playing as a Muslim nation trying to worm my way into India before I couldn't get past the monolithic Hindu roadblock any more.
