Paradox games but definitely NOT GAMES OF THRONE

When you see it, you'll shit Baddars...

[MalaCloudy Black]

Huh, I didn't know you could have the sidebar show you what your council is doing. That's neat.

[The Lusophone]

There is now a kinda sorta working Lord of the Rings mod.

I prefer the Project Immersion stuff at the moment, though. Combines a lot of really quite good mods.

[Gazz]

My ironman game is a giant clusterfuck for Catholism. The Catholic nations have spent so much time fighting amongst themselves that the Muslim Caliphate has swallowed the Byzantine empire and now borders Rome.

[MalaCloudy Black]

I have a game going as the Duke of Galicia and Catholicism seems to be holding up pretty well, but they're allowing a lot of heresies to spread. Right off the bat there was a crusade for Andalusia won by England, so the southern half of Spain has been English for close to 100 years now. They've converted a lot of it from Sunni to Catholic, but the Waldensian heresy's also spreading pretty rapidly down there. Poor Muslims couldn't even do a proper Jihad to get Andalusia back, or Jerusalem. England's just crushing everything.

Their King is also possessed. And has 35 (!) martial due to the trait "Jesus gives me military advice".

[Gazz]

That's the beauty of this game. In that save, England doesn't exist, the isles are carved up between Ireland, Scotland, Denmark and Lotharingia.

[MalaCloudy Black]

I think the modifiers the King of England is getting from being possessed are really helping him out, weirdly enough. Jesus speaks to him, gives him military advice, and he's considered the voice of Jesus. It'll be interesting when he dies and his less possessed, less talented son takes the crown. I doubt he'll be able to keep England together, which will give me the opportunity to swoop into Andalusia and take some territory. Hopefully.

[The Lusophone]

Back to playing the Game of Thrones mod, there's now a have sex with someone from each of the Seven kingdoms ambition.

Which is interesting.

[Gazz]

No one wants to fuck an Ironborn.

I dunno, Asha Greyjoy.

It's a minor change but I love that now women and homosexual characters can "take a tumble" with courtiers. Hopefully with Steam matchmaking support multiplayer won't be a pain in the ass.

Love the diplomatic range changes.

- Children can no longer pick up the religion or culture of a guardian if the guardian does not share the religion or culture of his employer

[The Lusophone]

This

- Characters can now have up to five lovers at the same time.

Is the best thing.

[The Lusophone]

Man this Spain save I'm playing is getting good. Inherited all the other Spanish Jiminez kingdoms and currently mauling the Muslims in central Spain.

Meanwhile, it's 1089 and Kingdom of England has changed hands 8 times, thrice to Robert of Normandy who currently has no land. Italy and Burgundy are in full revolt against the HRE, Sweden's been split in two by civil war and the east is, for once, largely at peace.

If you're a chump who didn't have The Old Gods (like me), it's on sale on Steam right now for $3.74 - marked down from $14.99. Time to go a-plunderin' on the muthaship!

(Sale ends in 38 hours though!)

[Noah]

I haven't played in a while but with the sale I may as well get back into it.

Is there an easy way to figure out what I've already bought? I may go on a spree and buy everything, even the random junk I don't need.

Edit:- Balls, sale ends in 4 hours and I have no money on my card....and the earliest I can get to the store and add money to it, isn't for 7 hours.

The game's launcher shows what DLC you have installed.
