None of these are slights against Crusader Kings 2 it’s just a rather old game, with a very passionate fanbase that has kept it alive for years longer than even the development team thought possible.
Other major changes to the system of title creation, the Papacy, and the interactions between lord and vassal seem beyond the scope of the game. The most notable features in this line are cadet branches of a dynasty and naval combat.
Moreover, various much-requested features are apparently never coming to Crusader Kings 2, and comments from the developer team suggest that’s because the additions are too complex for the current game. And so many other features have been added through DLC over time that the game is ridiculously complex and intimidating for new players. The CK2 engine is noticeably older (it was the first iteration of the current version) and performance worse than the other games. It was the first in the current quartet of actively supported Paradox Development Studio games, followed by Europa Universalis IV and the much newer Hearts of Iron IV and Stellaris. The game-which is truly incredible, and both extremely innovative and influential on later strategy games-is starting to show its flaws. That’s all well and good, but-as many players have commented- Crusader Kings 2 needs more than just a new region. Both those regions and the Hordes should be much more interesting now that they’re facing a potential threat/economic partner to their East. The Jade Dragon DLC in some ways seems like a follow-up to Rajas of India, which added India as a playable region but has been less widely adopted than some other DLCs as a key part of the game. Although China won’t be playable or even physically on the map, it will still exert considerable influence on states in the East, both the Hordes and India itself. Jade Dragon takes the world of Crusader Kings 2 farther to the East than it has ever gone, well beyond the lands of India to the Far East. The DLC looks exciting and feature rich, but the truth is Crusader Kings 2 is showing its age-and despite excitement for Jade Dragon, we have reason to believe and even hope that this will be the end of the line.Ĭrusader Kings 2: Jade Dragon: End Of The World, End Of The Game?
And now, Paradox has announced yet another major DLC: Jade Dragon, which introduces China as a non-playable power. In fact, it’s still actively supported over nearly the same stretch of time between Civilization V and Civilization VI. Hopefully the fixing the launcher path will be more fruitful.Crusader Kings 2 has been out for more than five years now and has seen vastly more DLC in its lifetime than just about any other strategy game. There is a way to get this to work.but the legality of that is questionable and probably can't be discussed here. Without that verification, you (mostly) out of luck. However, knowing this to create a shortcut with these parameters will not work, as it does not invoke the magical Steam fairy that verifies the DLC ownership that allows them to load ingame.

Regardless, the launcher passes through various parameters to ck2.exe to set which mods to load and which DLCs to exclude:įor example, this would theoretically launch the game with 2 mods enabled and 2 DLCs (Russian and Mediterranean Portraits) disabled: "C:\Programs\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\Crusader Kings II\ck2.exe" -mod=mod/Realign_Celts_Men.mod -mod=mod/Edits.mod -exclude_dlc=dlc/dlc014.dlc -exclude_dlc=dlc/dlc016.dlc
Crusader kings 2 all dlc verification#
Launching the game via Steam -> Launcher -> Game appears to do some magic, aka it seems to trigger verification of DLC ownership that launching the game via just ck2game.exe -> Game or just ck2.exe does not.
