Let's Play: Crusader Kings II - [Entry 1 - Boot Camp]

[Octorok]

Crusader Kings 2 LP? YES!

Was following another LP but the guy was too good at the game, managing to get 2/3 of the world by the end under his heel which just made me jealous.

Will be watching this space. I would suggest using an image editor like Photoshop or Paintshop Pro with the troll faces though, to make them fit better. Might look a little better.

Yeah, I started out thinking I'd save myself some time by just lifting the images straight in, but that became clear it wasn't working, so I stopped being so completely lazy and began actually cutting the images in the second half of the entry.

I'll continue to do this from now onwards, and I'd retroactively update the older images, but *cough* er... SOMEONE may have saved over them...

As for any concerns about me being too good at the game, I like to think that this first entry has cleared up any threat of that being a problem.

Well that's unnecessary, all you need to do is edit some game files to make Pagan factions playable.

It was just that the player was always taking the optimal routes, which lacks entertainment value. As with the images with the trollfaces just pasted in straight, don't worry, just do it in the next update.

I once played as a Earl of Gwent and ended up marrying my son to some Ethiopian chick with a duchy. This caused problems later on as one son was always in Ethiopia, which is a bit messy.

OK, I'll try to update this weekend (I'll play CK2 today and write the entry tomorrow), but no promises, since I'm writing one of my biggest assignments this weekend, and I'll be pretty busy with that.

I'll also try to update more often than once a week in future, but I was sick for the past two weeks and have to catch up on some missed work rather than do CK2.
