Crusader Kings - The joys of Roleplay

[Micha]

Once again I started playing CK, now with the new 1.4 patch it is a lot more stable and fun. The thing I like most about it is the vast roleplaying possibilities, as CK is a character-based game.

Now that´s where the fun starts! Have you ever wondered about teenager moms? Yes? Then have a look at this:

I tell you, those pagans do witchcraft! I mean, which zealous Christian is able to reproduce at the age of four???

What other funny things have you run across while playing CK? Post pictures if possible!

My second-favourite episode is the five year old "lustful" brat... (THAT is precocious...)

[BeBMan]

I just own it for a week or so. Have not finished one complete game yet. I like CK generally very much, although some elements still need change IMO (and I'm glad they are still patching it).

[chequita guevara]

I haven't acutally played it yet.

[Micha]

Oh you definately should! It´s great fun! (Though it becomes incredibly easy once you find out "the trick"...

[Nikolai]

CK is fantastic, the only Paradox game better is EU2. With 1.04a it's becoming a good game, although lots of problems is still unsolved there, but as soon as you install the latest beta, it becomes a whole new game! It still has some issues, but the large amount of fixes, and not to forget additions in large quantities makes it really enjoyable.

[Micha]

Hm, the pope has asked me to grant one of his bishops a place in my court. Of course I agreed. Now, shock! That Bishop was a skeptical, lustful heretic

I don´t know, but shouldn´t the Pope chose his servants more ... conscientiously?

[Nikolai]

Well, considering I've seen heretic, lustful, kinslayer popes before...

[Jamski]

I'm just replying to this thread because Micha introduced me to Paradox and did an awesome thing

Oh, and much love for CK

[Micha]

Jamski!

So you have tried those other titles as well? Most excellent!

Are you going to share the details on "The Trick" with the rest of the class?

[Nikolai]

The game's pretty easy. But it has become a little harder after the beta patches came. I don't think it is one single trick though.

Since this thread is for strange things - I have a dead bishop as one of my vassals now for decades and some provinces without coastlines have sea ports

And this after the latest patch? I mean the ports issue... Pictures?

No I´m not. It spoils the game too terribly once you know about it. Enjoy as long as you are still innocent

Really, this "trick" is a standard strategy that can be applied to any kingdom and duchy you play. It abuses the game´s inability to simulate certain aspects of empire building and takes advantage of the strange war-and-peace engine. Also it leads to totally unhistorical and in reality impossible outcomes of the game, as well as a sure win with any country you chose.

So better it´s not mentioned to those who don´t know yet. If you really like to know, at the Paradox Forums (which are currently down because they move to another server) there are lots of threads about this strategy and demands to put an end to it
