I'd even prefer them to add a new fictional invasion than making a map randomizer.ģ- Have the devs work on more important things.
#Generation zero map interactive mods#
If you didn't find them, try harder.īut you'll miss the whole point of playing a "history" simulation (the best mods are also "history" sims: history of the middle earth, of Westeros, alternative history.).
There is no exploration mechanic in CK2.ġ- If you want to play on a randomized map, there are mods for that. That is the exact reason why the feature exists - because the player has more knowledge of the world than the AI are allowed to make use of. EU4 is not that - you just have some colors you want to paint on a map.īesides, the parallel you're trying to draw between the random map in CoP and a potential random feature in CK2 is absurd, because the random map in CoP is about simulating exploration. The feel of CK2 is that you're playing in a region rife with history, and now you're adding on your own. It needs to feel like it's a state of affairs that could have happened organically, not just something slapped together at random. I'm sure there's other stuff I could name, but this seems like enough to drive the point home.Īnd somehow, dealing with all of that, you have to make it all make sense with the random map. You have to be mindful of religions, and want people of similar religions to be near each other, because that's actually a thing that matters in Europe, as opposed to the Americas in EU4 where everyone is the same religion or religious group.
You have to be mindful of cultural-specific units and terrain(if the new lands of the French cultures are entirely mountains, it makes zero sense to have their cultural-specific unit to be heavy cavalry, because French tactics would rarely have used cavalry). You have to place counties owned by realms. You have static de jure duchies that need to exist, and they need to be placed in a way that they correspond with the de jure kingdoms and empires (as opposed to the dynamic core system). Most of the Americas are empty land ripe for colonization, and you can easily just place some provinces somewhere in the middle of the ocean and call it good.Įurope is not, and CK2 is not the same game as EU4. Well, no, most of the work hasn't been done.Įurope in the CK2 timeframe is in no way similar to the Americas in the EU4 timeframe.
