Way of Life was the DLC that changed CK2 from a "great" to "one of my favorite games of all time". Seriously, for me, it might be the best DLC Paradox ever put out. Way of Life changed how I approached the game forever. After this DLC, I started to roleplay these characters so much more. It was CK2, just better. Gold Standard how a DLC should be: Enhancing the experience.

Maybe this is controversial, but I love the Reaper’s Due specifically because it made characters way more likely to die. When I send my ruler out to lead a battle and they get wounded, and wound gets infected, and I’m shitting myself because my ruler could just drop dead, that endears me to the character more. And if that manage to survive their infection, then I feel genuine relief, because the danger to them was real. I know some people hate the Reaper’s Due because it makes the game more random and more unstable, but to me CK is more interesting when things are unstable. The more easy it is for character’s to die, the more likely it is for interesting inheritance situations to occur. Also, I’ll reiterate that death being a genuine threat make your successes feel more earned. Your first five kids dying, resulting in your crown going to your legitimized, bastard daughter whose 3 years old, is something that rarely happens in CK3 because death is supposed to be more “fair” to the player. However when that did happen in CK2 and that daughter went on to rule to the ripe old age 98 and get sainted after death, that story feels all the sweeter because the through you into a bad situation and you overcame it anyway.

Charlemagne: no mention of viceroyalties? Reapers Due: no mention of prosperity? Monk&Mystic: mass prisoners actions, offmap councillors Jobs, giving orders to allies in war? I think people didnt like dlc such as Conclave because It didn"t delivered further powercreep and forced people to either pay tax or have less overpowered council. Changes to obligations simply reduced player realm strenght (before that you could have plenty of levies and golf at the same time). Monks and mystics were nerfed into oblivion yet people are still traumatized by it. The threat of devil worshippers is simply overblown - what they gonna do with their troglodyte tier stats? Get themselves killed by inqusition or spies, giving player arrest reason that's why. The only way they poseł more danger than assassins is if you are just running at speed 5 and don't want to do anything to protect yourself. When was the last time we seen people complaining about assassins? I've been playing with both Supernatural and absurd events and satanists are not na issue. The same way AI seduction and Intrigue focuses aren't. People are to accustomed to complaining instead of adapting. That said I wish dlc would do more with societies and interactions towards other dlc. Rajas of India: my poor pet dlc. It could be so much better but due to lack of updates it was powercrept even more. Not only IT related after spoiled rotten vikings, with vanilla like events (20% chance for +1 martial every 20 years...) but also region locked (oh you wanted to hunt tigers in Siberia that we just introduced? Lol nope). The whole sub continent has the same bad retinue, nothing interesting was done with Elephants. Gurus were nerfed due to Conclave education overhaul, and their events reduntant thanks to monastics. Also why Cult of Kali doesn't have unique powers compared to Satanists, when it was unique before M&M? And why no tribal Rulers in India - imo best way to play Hindus for elephants to matters? Don't get me started on Reincarnation being possible non inheretable bloodlines but were... much less interesting...

When I bought CK2 back in 2012 (I was in high school!) CK1 had been, alongside Vic1 and EU3, the games of my childhood. Who cared about frickin Pokemons and Zeldas and Calls of Duties when you could conquer Egypt as the Byzantine empire instead? When I bought the game - The last game I purchased in a physical form, though funnily enough it still required a Steam installation - I was super-excited. It didn't live up to the hype, though. Sure, it was more advanced, but it wasn't as big as a step up as I naively expected to be. I thought I was done with the franchise, and then Old Gods came out, and from then onward CK2 steadily became my staple videogame. I think that Old Gods deserves a rank on its own, because thanks to it the whole game started becoming a factory of dreams. It introduced the concept of purpouse and motivation within the game: it was so thrilling leading your viking dude to the conquest of unlikely places or restoring Zoroastrian Persia with the unimpressive Karens (cheating of course, because I was still a teen). It gave a lot of purpose that wasn't just grinding for resources. In a way, I'm still waiting for CK3 to have its own Old Gods, its own revolutionary expansion. Up till now, CK3 it's a fairly ok game, and the developers are betting on storytelling - a good idea - but they are neglecting to enhance that storytelling by giving the player the thrill of having a purpouse. CK2, thanks to Old Gods, and the other fantastic DLCs and mods, developed into a game where you could conquer India as a Viking, bring an the hellenic religion back to life, migrate with your Central Asian tribe to Iberia, place an obscure house on the Iron Throne... You can still do some of those things in CK3, but somehow, it doesn't hold the same magic.

I highly enjoyed the older model for dlc, giving a little for a lot of regions, compared to a lot for just a region. As a customer it’s a time investment at this point of hoping they’ll add flavor to the place you want. Before you’d at least get multiple new mechanics per dlc even if they where sub par. I can definitely say I interact with monks and mystics more than I do with Fates of Iberia, and I feel that Monks has more engagement and dynamism than Throne Rooms currently.

The current model is alternating between global stuff and regional, so fans of both approaches can be happy. Northern Lords was localized to Scandinavia, then Royal Court was for everyone (even if it wasn't all that good), then Fate of Iberia is, obviously, for Iberia, and next Tours and Tournaments is again for the whole map. Friends and Foes is somewhat tangential, but also was not dependent on a region.

A couple points: Seljuk formation area is mostly covered by the SoI map expansion, not RoI I think the framework for Way of Life was too gamey (by which I mean artificial). Also its importance is easy to overstate if you forget that a lot of the events in that system already existed but simply were fed procedurally; what WoL added besides rounding out the set of events was just a way for the player to signal intent. Societies were good in that they added a parallel growth and progression to the game. The equivalent in CK3 is Lifestyles, even though lifestyles were also in CK2. Although I agree with your criticism of the M&M societies I think that the fundamental system was good, as we saw in Holy Fury, so I think a similar system in CK3 would be fine - and I certainly want something that does societies. The thing I'd actually want would be dynamic changes to the state of the society, so that over a playthrough what your local societies means can evolve. One of the biggest things CK3 is missing at this point is things that matter over more than a couple generations and also aren't just low-impact quantitative increase like most techs and buildings. One important thing to remember about Holy Fury is that in addition to main focus, it was a grab bag of things Paradox had promised but not implemented over the whole dev period of CK2, as well as features from CK1 that had never made it back in.

A little salt in cooking works wonders, but too much will ruin it, and that to me was the issue MaM had.

In regards to Reaper's Due, I recently had a wonderful emergent experience with it. As the Latin Empire, I managed to put my child niece on the Nicean throne and then murder her to inherit the Niceans. But during this transfer of power, nearly every Nicean (Greek) vassal revolted in 2 separate pretender revolts. Seeking to purge the vassals, I fought a war with them, intent on enforcing demands and revoking all their lordships. And then the Black Death hit Anatolia. And suddenly all the armies (especially mine) fighting in this messy, drawn out war died to attrition and were unable to siege or accomplish anything. In the end, I agreed to white peace with the exhausted Niceans, and the Latin Empire was left with a confused compromise of Byzantine institutions in Anatolia, all owing to the black death.

The opposition to Sunset Invasion was not that it was a light DLC, but that it was ahistorical and diverted from playable pagans, which everyone at the time wanted. On the Paradox forum lots of people angry that PDS was allocating resources away from "regularly scheduled" content towards the fantasy Aztec invasion, which couldn't have happened because the Aztecs didn't even exist in any of the CK2 start dates.

There's the _scope_ expansions (Islam, Old Gods, etc), _event-driven_ expansions (Legacy of Rome, Sons of Abraham...) and the _personal_ expansions (Conclave, Way of Life...). And what someone should look at getting should start with what they're interested in getting out of it.

Honestly Conclave is D tier when interacting with your vassals is more of a choice rather than a need, you can easily disregard them or pay them lip service indefinitely. And if they do try something against you just throw them in prison or send the spymaster after them, and by the time in the game you can no longer stop them from revolting you likely have enough money to just spam mercenaries to deal with them. The Council is also not better when you can pay it's members to abolish it's powers within one characthers lifetime, especily if you fill it with lapdogs.

I remember I had a run where I reformed norse into the female inheritance law (forgot the name), and then used devil impregnation repeatedly to create a stable line of demonic succession. This also reminds me - yes, the council of cardinals was dumb, but I will never forget a run where I pressed a claim on the Byzantine throne for one of my archbishops and Byzantium became a theocracy. Due to the sheer power he had he immediately became a cardinal, and then, obviously, elected pope. I accidentally thus created the most stable succession system for both the Papacy and the Byzantine Empire, by pure accident.

I also thought that expanding to much as Poland or France was kind of ludicrous and way too not realistic so I didn’t enjoy it as much, but I could start as a random Arab count in Andalusia and my son would become the Caliph who rules half of the know world and not only was it fun, it made fucking sense, but Poland extending past Medival Russia and France expanding anywhere besides England was just wierd and thus not very fun. Come to think about it Western Europe was boring ass hell (besides the Iberians and Scandinavians but only when they were Norse). In any case, I still prefer playing in my homeland so this DLC isn’t as good as it would be if I were say American and my only relation to the places in the game would be some ancestors 200 years back than I would just play Islam and not give a single fuck about heritage and identity

Conclave and reapers due make the game really hard, thats why I only play with reapers and still get frustrated, I remember I had 3 of my male children dying and getting stuck with a female while getting ravaged continiously by plagues(byzantine region is horrible for that)

I hope that you do justice to "Sunset invasion" and place it unapologetically in the S tier.

Ffs,just look at this. Every dlc in this list (including sunset invasion) brought something unique to the game or changed how it is played drastically. Then look at ck3 dlc..... just look at them.... If you think you prefer ck3, just go into ck2, choose 867, play a viking. Conquer until you run out of money, then go raid england, get loot and prisoners and come back to hold grand blot. Then play venice, siwm in gold. Or go Byzantium with it's super unique intrigue game, only to die to dysentery. GO BACK TO CK2 PEOPLE

I liked your Sunset Invasion take before you dared put it in B. Wtf are you smoking? Even with it not being as bad due to us knowing how many DLCs there would end up being it is still an overpriced DLC that does basically nothing.

I do miss the societies in CK3, there is just a whole lot less for your character to do, and even less to spend money on. If you hold constantinople you make so much money even with all court amenities you'l have to much to spend. But maybe with more local and more dynamic societies, it would be a bit more immersive.

Monks and Mystics is one of those unfortunate creatures that has a lot of great, ambitious ideas and bungles the execution of every single one.

You hate the good start date (769)? It's the one where you can totally reshape the world in an interesting way. Meanwhile you love Conclave ... the objectively floater in the toilet bowl of CK2 DLC's. Theres a reason so many people hate Conclave ... it's crap.

semi related but it is still astounding to me that EU4 Leviathan became statistically one of the worst rated product on steam when it came out. seems forever ago now!

If Rajas of India had released nowadays when review bombing is a thing, it would've been treated just like Leviathan given how horribly buggy it was at launch. It was definitely the Leviathan before Leviathan.

Honestly suprised u didn’t start by saying that the greatest game ever made is ck2 and we should have stopped making video games all together after it’s release
