My prediction is a dual-focus major expansion which revamps Empires, giving more customization options to mold your imperial government. Byzantines and HRE will get more flavor with it, all historical empires will get their own unique bonuses to fit their historical attributes. Also, thinking maybe a struggle over either Anatolia or Italy. Maybe both?
I hope they revamp trade, add merchant republics and land based merchant republics with no coastal counties, maybe add some type of naval warfare or naval units that can siege coastal counties and raid traderoutes.
>land based merchant republics with no coastal counties,
This doesn’t really make any sense for a medieval game. All the landlocked merchant republics of the time consisted of single cities or very very very loose alliances of multiple cities. Someone correct me if I’m wrong doe, but I really can’t think of a single medieval republic that wasn’t a naval one, that did literally anything.
I really really want playable holy orders and landless adventurers/mercenary companies
>playable holy orders
You could make this work now with the adoption system maybe. Adopt favored members into your dynasty and appoint your heir from among them.
I’d be fine with a similar system to merchant republics in ck2. You play as a family within the order, not necessarily a l vassal lord but you have an estate that you manage and can upgrade, and if you do tasks for the order/prove yourself in battle/be pious you are more likely to be elected as grandmaster. It could really work like merchant republics with you establishing banks and castles across all of Europe and getting rich of being bankers, as they did irl. Make it so loans come from actual characters, and that holy orders the the biggest loaners
Replying to my own post, but the one I can think of, is Florence. They were pretty influential and powerful during the Middle Ages, and yes they had a coast but they weren’t a thalassocratic merchant empire like Genoa, pisa, and Venice
Yeah I’m aware republics existed, but my point is that they didn’t expand or do anything, so they shouldn’t be playable. They literally just hung out and collected fat dollars for 1000 years
If by doing anything you mean wars, the northern italian communes did plenty of stuff.

Of course, everyone did lots of wars back then, but they didn’t grow their states and try to empire build, like every playable entity in crusader kings was trying to do at any given opportunity.
I think this is the reason they weren’t playable in ck2 and I think it’s a pretty good reason.

They did tho. How do you think Florence and Milan grew to the size they did rather than just being single city states? Everybody else was trying the same, they were just less successful

ah yes venice and genoa the famous peaceful republics
It’s so fricking over. I’m obsessed with steppechads but literally no one else is asking paradox for them. It will probably be 9 years before we get nomadic governments
They’re horribly imbalanced and have some very nonsensical functions due to what they were trying to cobble together, such as how each Khan is a king and Khaghan is an Emperor, even if they are some 1 county jackass.
Why does it even matter?
By the time ck3 catches up to ck2 in content they will release ck4. paraisraelite will continue to capitalize on morons buying the same exact shit with a new paint job and a few new features.
He’s literally right though. That is wxacrlt what’s going to happen, same with eu5, it’s going to be missing 90% of eu4’s shit and they will slowly sell it all back to you but with fart jokes and vomit events
Warfare needs some work. I think they will continue to add more events, culture content, decisions etc. to add some flavour and life before adding additional features however. I know nothing about the stats but I imagine the British Isles must be a popular start, they might go there next
Above all I want improved warfare and alliance features. Some Slavic vs Mongol content is always welcome
I hope for stuff for the HRE and The Byzantines, those two are underdeveloped

Here’s ur dlc’s chud
>during the imperial coronation, while walking toward the pope, you slip on a banana peel and fart +20 stress
>while cutting off Georgiosos Koutezekanokonapolis’s nose you burp and fart + 30 stress
This will be 29.99$ plus tip, chud

This + Byzatnium so I can recreate the Athenian empire. VGH.

Playable theocracies probably aren't happening though.

All free city vassals such as the ones in the hre

probably some halfassed feature that ck2 already had
HRE and Catholicism
Looking at the picture, it looks like we're getting either India or North Africa next
>pone
>crossdressing allowed in the barbershop
>AI cuckolding chance increased 10x
>more whacky events about farting
>HRE renamed HRT
>over 3 years
>2 rooms marked off
My prediction is that they will fail to add meaningful content to the game.

It's a shame, I love raiding playstyles and being a horseBlack person horde sounds great.
People are probably just remembering how poorly implemented they were in ck2.
There is literally nothing wrong with them in ck2, they are perfect and the most fun way to play
They’re horribly imbalanced and have some very nonsensical functions due to what they were trying to cobble together, such as how each Khan is a king and Khaghan is an Emperor, even if they are some 1 county jackass.
yeah I sure do miss getting spammed with marriage requests from some 1 country nomad because he is technically emperor rank
It will be the next Imperator but instead of discontinuing it openly and publicly they will just ignore it to death
More tacked on mechanics seperate from the core mechanics. More bar shit.
events.
>the year is 2027, 100% of the DLC's for CK3 are event slop, and you will be happy.
>2027
That already happened like 3 years ago. Events and mission trees
Why does it even matter?

tours and tournaments had late game stuff kinda
I mean come on look you know it, I know, the anon below me knows it. This is peak Crusader Kings.
Warfare needs some work. I think they will continue to add more events, culture content, decisions etc. to add some flavour and life before adding additional features however. I know nothing about the stats but I imagine the British Isles must be a popular start, they might go there next

Probably yet another update that has nothing to do with crusading kings
More shitty flavour content, of course.
So are there any good mods for this reddit game?
CK2 still seems way better, like for all current Paracuck games.
