Secret societies where the real soul of ck2 and anyone who says otherwise is plain wrong
Tell me you're a newfag without telling me you're a newfag. They added that during the final years of development you fucking idiot how could it be the real soul of the gameThe societies mechanic was also complete shit, it's the most basic bitch "get mana, click magic button" DLC in the game. Also happens to be when they started adding the "le wacky magic satanist horses" garbage that ruined the game.

>>1996417the best mod for CK is arguably the one that adds a ton of fantasy events with vampires, mages, and all that cool stuff
>>1996417>They added that during the final years of development you fucking idiot how could it be the real soul of the gameThis, the real soul of CK2 was The Old Gods, when they revamped everything down to the technology system and added the ability to play pagan religions and tribal nations.Before The Old Gods the game was clunky all the way through and plotting came down to how much money you had to keep sending 500 gold assassins after people.
>>1996417fpbp it was just mindless event spam with unimportant characters that just gave stat-bloat and little-to-no role-play or immersion opportunities. medieval kings did not "join" a church order, they donated to them and supported their associations. the assassins and warrior lodges were somewhat decent implementations because they actually had purpose and action behind them, even if they were also ahistoricthe secret religious cults were rarely used for any kinds of heresies, but for weird shit like suddenly Hindu Ireland or Muslim Sweden, rather than a Lollard uprising. Satanists were fucking dogshit and the worst meme to ever dig its cancer into CK2, I'm glad there was a rule to disable itanyone who says they want them in CK3 needs to Infiltrate a Hermetist's laboratory and be unable to ransom themself back because the character is out of their diplomatic range
>>1996333societies don't even make much sense in the game, you're telling me that the king of france sucks up to some random baron because that baron is le grandmaster of the hermetic society?
>>1996706Just like in real life
>>1996706>
I think people that still prefer CK2 just don't have money for the new game, but I acknowledge some might just like mods.
I liked the societies but some were overtuned like the satanists and religious cults, although both of those can be disabled.
>>1997387both games are free, also pretty sure ck2 with all dlc costs more than ck3
>>1996333
>>1996333Ultra bait.Checked.lol lmaofuck you. This mechanic is braindead
I liked societies although some were not well done or poorly implemented.
>>1996333Come on now
The Sunset Invasion was the real soul of CK2, and anyone who says otherwise is plain wrong~
no, secret societies are irrelevant to the real soul of ck2.
>>2005938Sunset Invasion was absolutely soulful and a good example of why soulful doesn’t mean good.
>>1997387I've never binged CK3 like I did CK2. This thread made me realized I should redownload CK2.What does CK3 have over 2 that isn't just graphics?
>>1996417Have a cup of tea, m8
