Crusader Kings

RZST · 03-10-2004, 06:17

any you guys heard about it?
its based on the HoI/Victorian Engine, and made by the same people iirc.

i havent found an official site yet only the forum :(
Official Forums
Screenshot Page (im already loving it)

thoughts?

i think this will be a great game, albeit a hard one to go into :p. HoI took me a while to actually know what i was doing, i hope CK is much easier to learn :)

edit: i guess this is the official site o.o; official site

Scipio · 03-10-2004, 06:20

IM geussing it is around the crusades time? NO thanx MTW is good enough for me I would like to see an ancient one maybe for Alexandarian time and such also a roman one wouldnt hurt

BTW I must complement you on your sig pic and avatar did you make them yourself?

RZST · 03-10-2004, 06:38

it starts at 1066 to 1453. so its not just the crusades

Efrem Da King · 03-10-2004, 10:46

hmm....

I want to buy CK EU2 And V. Play all the way from early middle ages to 1920.

Alrowan · 03-10-2004, 12:37

people on the Vic forums were talkng about a save game prog that would work from Eu2 and one to work to HoI

As for this game, ill be getting t the moment it ships, think MTW strategy mode, but 10000000x more in depth

Trax · 03-10-2004, 14:25

I think this is the real official site.

Basileus · 03-10-2004, 15:14

Havent been overy ipmressed by paradox games but i think i´ll buy this and try it out..

RisingSun · 03-11-2004, 03:14

followed it for a while, kind of forgot about it. It will be very complicated with all the extreme realistic fuedal relationships, I understand.

Russian Threat · 03-13-2004, 01:43

I've been tracking this one, as well. Thanks for the link to the screenies, m8

Trax · 03-13-2004, 11:20

BTW Crusader Kings went gold few days ago

Ivan Bajlo · 03-13-2004, 12:46

As one poster on Paradox forum said...

I was keeping my eye on CK progress until I found out Progress is a name of city in Russia.

Paradox has same problems as with many other gaming companies - releasing unfinished games.

Fortunately unlike other they actually keep publishing new patches for a pretty long time and unlike other patches which only fix biggest bugs, they often rework entire game engine so you get completely new gaming experience with each new patch.

And since they make each game so you can mod 90% of things each game should last you at lest two or three years.

Trax · 03-16-2004, 16:42

First CK beta AAR has been posted

The Deeds of Salamon, King of Hungary

RZST · 03-18-2004, 03:55

yeah i read that in the forum too.
all i have to say is

Louis de la Ferte Ste Colombe · 03-25-2004, 12:34

Another AAR....

http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/...d.php?t=134743

When you see that and see MTW campaign mode, you can only cry...

Louis,

Baba Ga'on · 03-25-2004, 19:16

Seems a bit too... accurate to satisfy Activision's year report.

Alrowan · 03-25-2004, 21:48

i tihnk CA and these guys should team up to make the worlds best strategy game, CA can focus on the battle side, paradox on the campagin mode, and then come up somewhere with both aspects. Id quit my job just to play a game like that

Isn´t going to happen any time soon considering, what Johan had to say about MTW

RZST · 03-26-2004, 00:40

hehe ouch

some ppl there seem to, not like, MTW :p o well.

ill still be playing mtw till CK comes out

Alrowan · 03-26-2004, 13:29

lol, hes just sayin that cus he couldnt figure out how to fight the battles, he needs the PC to manage that for him

Alrowan · 04-06-2004, 12:39

well id suggest heading over to this link to see a tonn of screenshots from some lucky guy who got the game b4 its official release HERE

aslo there is a new AAR HERE

Nowake · 04-06-2004, 13:43

The game is awesome. I made a preview in november about it. The diplomacy is the best I ever heard of.

frogbeastegg · 04-06-2004, 13:59

The more I hear the better it sounds, I'm only just getting to grips with EU2 but CK is practically a game made for me - history, depth, strategy, variety, more history, unlike EU2 it has a setting that really interests me, the only thing missing is MTW style battles. It appears to out do MTW in every respect bar battles, the game even has uglier people than MTW's freaks, beetle browed loons, and princesses with acid burns. This game is officially now on my I want it NOW I have to get this game list, that list has been empty for years.

Anyone know the UK release date? I would guess months away

Oh well, time to exercise my patience...

If you have VISA you can order it directly from Paradox, they guess they will ship it around 24th of April. Seeing that the price for buying it from them (30€) is a lot lower than buying it here in the store (probably 50€) I didn't hesitate. And I'll probably get it a lot earlier then if I wait for the official release date.

frogbeastegg · 04-06-2004, 15:35

Would the game be in English if I ordered it directly? The game itself probably would be from what I can gather, but what about the manual?

hmm, good question. But I think that will be in english too since they said that the Swedish and UK version of the game are exactly the same. I think that includes the manual. But the manuals paradox produce are usually crap anyway.

Alrowan · 04-06-2004, 23:46

aparently the manual is ok for this game...

lol

well any manual is better than the victoria one

Efrem Da King · 04-07-2004, 08:48

rofl You can say that agian mate.

ShadeFlanders · 04-07-2004, 19:32

Actually I think the EU 1 manual was the worst ever. It was crammed full of historical info (which is nice) but had only a rather sparse description about how to play the game. And the tutorial was long and tedious with no option to save your progress

RZST · 04-08-2004, 04:02
