[OT] Crusader Kings Westeros: Another Game, Same World

[OT] Crusader Kings Westeros: Another Game, Same World

I'd like to get into that CK2 Westeros mod thread on the paradox forum, only I can't access it. Would I need to register CK2 to be able to get into that thread? Do those guys have any other forum? Are there any other Westeros mods in development for CK2? Thanks.
 
You need to register the CK2 key on the forum to get access to certain threads, including the mod thread. However, they have an offsite forum here: http://citadel.prophpbb.com/
 
Ahh, a shame - but thanks very much for the other link and for the swift reply! :)
 
I hate the way paradox do that. It means you can't research what mods are out there before buying the game.
 
I was so impressed with the CK2 demo that I decided to buy it alot sooner than expected. It doesn't take much imagination to realise just how bloody perfect CK2 is for a Westeros mod!
 
I just started recently naming my children after the Targaryens. My heir will be King Aegon I.

The cool thing is that once you make your own name, it becomes a family name of your dynasty, even for the AI. So 100 years from now you might see some distant nephews and grandsons named Aegon :D.

So i assume CK2 is complex a la Hearts of Iron III?

Its complex, but not as ridiculous as HoI3. HoI3, to me at least, was complex beyond being fun, and even when you understood everything it was clunky and overcomplicated to make it work. CK2 is complex in the sense that its very deep and has a high learning curve, but once you learn the ropes its a pretty intuitive interface, and things like military and technology management are much simpler than they were in HoI3.
 
EDIT: Oops. Skizbot wins. :(

I liked HoI III but can understand your point of view. It was at times a bit complex but then that era requires that level of complexity. The intelligence aspect of it was weak, why spy on the enemy when you can spend the resources on better tanks and just grinding him into oblivion.

CK2 seems more focused on the political side of things from what i've seen (plots, bloodlines etc). Perfect for Westeros but also very interesting to get involved in dynastic wars, rebellious vassals etc. I liked that in TW games and was disappointed when far from expanding the family mechanic of the previous games, shogun just chopped it right down to the immediate family :doh:
 
Secret for the demo- you actually aren't limited to playing the four characters they give you. Select one of them, hit start, and as its loading quickly click on any other province on the map to play as its owner.
 
well this mod progress big time since it was last typed on here.
 
Heh, CK2 with a real time combat option just like total war, with your marshals for each batallion and else would be the greatest game in the world, just think about it :P
 
^That would definitely keep me interested in it! You could start off as a captain and gain a title from a victory and just climb from there! I kinda hope the westeros mod simplifies it somewhat...I went and got CK2 because it looked just plain awesome and it seemed only a matter of time before a westeros mod is created for it, but Its so Overwhelming! I have no idea where to begin on any of it! I should have got the demo to start...

play the tuturial then pick a small kingdom, like croatia or bulgaria. Or pick a small duke in Ireland/Wales and create the kingdom of ireland/wales by conquering all of your neighbors.
 
^ Yeah I did a little bit of that today and wasn't Quite as lost as before, picked the Norwegian county up on the tippy top of Scotland there, still a lot to learn but I at least was able to follow a little bit of what was happening. Was irritated that every 10 days or so the king would keep calling all my levies and taking them off somewhere! How do you manage so many people in the court when you start getting more lands? I can barely keep up with the 20 or so I have at the moment!

Don't try to manage everyone, only the ones with good stats, land and a position in the council. The rest is unimportant. Although one of those guys can still kill you.
 
Did you guys try the mod already? I would advise playing as Lord of Greyshield (Harras) or as Lord of Kingsgrave (Manwoody), they are really fun, while I found most kingdoms and northern lords a bit dull. I had an amazing bug I noticed when I saw the lordship of Last Hearth in the westernlands. Apparently, some westerman had married Jon Umber... yes, both men, and had a daughter... yes, the two guys, so it was pretty hilarious.
