[QUOTE]Crusader Kings II: Sunset Invasion Announced
Pull Up the Drawbridge, Barricade the Gates, the Aztecs are Coming!
New York – October 31, 2012 – Just when Europe thought it was safe from troublesome Eastern foes, a new blood-curdling threat looms off the Western coast in Crusader Kings II: Sunset Invasion.
In the latest DLC for the critically-acclaimed strategy/RPG Crusader Kings II, Paradox Interactive and Paradox Development Studios pose the question – what would have happened if the Aztecs invaded 13th Century Europe?
For the first time ever, Paradox Development Studio is introducing a fantasy scenario in their strategy games. Introducing a wealth of new features to appease the angriest of sun gods, the upcoming Crusader Kings II DLC brings the savage, blood drenched Aztec civilization to European shores, determined to wreak carnage on its inhabitants. Cower in fear at the invaders strange gods and rituals including the potential peril of having your vital organs offered up to these vengeful deities in sacrifice. Anything to keep them happy!
It will be survival of the fittest to survive the onslaught of the menacing Mesoamerican warriors, bringing with them exotic and deadly diseases, and an appetite for destruction.
Main Features:
- A new invading threat arrives at a random point in the mid to late game, conquering from the West
- Unique new portraits, on-map shields and units for the great Mesoamerican Menace
- Cower in fear at the Aztec gods: New Aztec culture and religion
- Human Sacrifice! When a province is lost, no-one is safe from the threat of losing their hearts on the obsidian altars
- Survive the terrible disease brought by the pagan oppressors: A new plague from across the Ocean
Crusader Kings II: Sunset Invasion arrives November 15th 2012 on all major digital download portals for 4,99 USD.
Get ready to face the biggest threat Europe could have known![/QUOTE]

Golden Horde v2: Electric Boogaloo
lol people on the Paradox forums were asking if this was some sort of joke, and some are raging hard. The vocal majority apparently have no sense of fun,
even after a dev said this DLC has no impact on the development time of future DLC, something about it using assets from EU4, so it was spun off from that.
Jeeze its only 5 dollars.
Lol, well it would be funny for playing at least a single game with all of that going on, I love the sacrificing of the English King. After that I'd probably just turn off the DLC though
And it's optional :v:.
I'd have fun with it.
I can kind of see myself playing it, but they should probably nerf the Aztecs a little bit, or at least spread the doom stack around the coastline.

No wonder I felt this being familiar.
I'm digging those Aztecs sprites. They're really awesome looking!

Viking armies against Aztecs heathens.
Whoever wins, we lose.
Playing the Game of Thrones mod as the Lannisters in the scenario that starts before Aegons conquest.
Aegon never really got past the Crownlands and died young, I had the option to create the trident for a vassal, after I falsified a claim on mossborough and I've been slowly claiming territory after territory. I'm going to conquer the Trident next, just finished conquering the Riverlands and going to wait ten years.

Playing as the Lannisters is like, easy mode.
You make at least 8 gold a month.
I would've thought you'd have a bit less trouble with the Aztecs due to them quite literally being Stone age. The Mongols had good weapons, good horses and composite bows which were top shit. But the Aztecs still use clubs with shards of Obsidian, a block of heavy infantry should be able to decimate them.
So they decide to doomstack in armies of 100k. Fuck that bullshit.

Exactly. Didn't the Spanish basically wreck the entire Aztecs with a single military unit?

And thousands of native allies
[QUOTE=croguy;38267939]Exactly. Didn't the Spanish basically wreck the entire Aztecs with a single military unit?[/QUOTE]
It was tricky. Montezuma was holding onto the empire of numerous tribes and it was easy enough to turn other natives against him. The main reason for the conflict arising to start with was Cortez and his band being diplomatic and living in Tenochtitlan trying to convert them but the shit hitting the fan when after hosting them, Montezuma was held hostage and was later killed somehow. That ruined the entire empire and the Spaniards took advantage of the ruin and disease.
The wooden clubs aren't to be underestimated, they were made to break bones and mail doesn't stop impact too well. But it means they have absolutely no heavy infantry and if you can make use of heavy cavalry or heavy infantry against them, you have an inherent advantage.
So guys apparently french (occitan) culture gets a culture-specific building that gives heavy cavalry and bonuses to its attack. Despite mass building some of them up to as far as I can, I still have only a few hundred HC compared to the 60,000 some men I can field if I call out all of france. Are these few hundred men really so valuable?

Talkin' bout CK2
Heavy cavalry are probably the single most strongest unit in the game. So yeah they're pretty valuable.
Every culture gets special bonus buildings, Irish cultures get Gallowglass for heavy infantry which is pretty sweet.
Heavy Cavalry are pretty good, they definitely give an advantage especially if you can block them under a good cavalry commander. Build some stables for a few more and build up the walls and other shit that increases overall levy size. Buildings like that are definitely worth investing in.

Oh yeah I mean I'm definitely getting them EVENTUALLY, I'm just trying to prioritize. After I finished off all the income buildings and basic military I went and built all my cities, now I'm thumbing around figuring out what next. 130~ LI and archers? or 15 HC? Stuff like that. When I played Ireland I didn't find the gallowglass particularly useful, just another way to pad even more numbers into my army.

A civilization was destroyed by less than a thousand men.

More HC and an attack bonus is a huge advantage, especially when the larger buildings give you a fuckload of them. It may not seem like much when you just look at the numbers but they're very valuable.

Really now that's just gross misrepresentation.

Jesus Christ. Imagine if you could unite the Roman Empire again and have a huge Roman vs. Aztec war.

I really wanna try out Sengoku since I'm a sucker for Japanese history. Anyone know if it's any good, and have you tried it?

Playing Dawn of Empires, when the hell is the Barbarian phase suppose to end?
Hey guys,looking to start playing HoI 3.
Should i play it vanilla or with a mod?And if so,what mod?

Buy every expansion except Their Finest Hour(if you didn't), try out how the game works(hint: not like HOI2), then go and get something like Historical Plausibility Project or some mini mods from the "other mods" category on the forum. If you find some mods whose latest version is TFH-compatible and you like to fight really well planned wars against a toughened AI give TFH a go.
Buuuut if you think that the gameplay kind of gets stale after a while and you already conquered China as Albania you might want to consider getting Random Scenario Generator, since it randomizes over 200 countries and spreads them out accordingly from their core province. Very fun, very dynamic, and of course, full of carnage.

Well... it is after all an alternate history, they probably developed better than in real history. Not to mention they bring disease to Europe, and not vice versa.

Yeah, it's alright. It's a wargame, though, not much diplomacy. The strategy is basically just create plots with the vassals of someone you want to go to war with, then when you activate the plot they automatically switch allegiance to your territory. In this way you can rip apart a larger clan. In wartime, you raise levies from the provinces away from the front because unraised levies add to the castle garrison. So while the AI sieges your heavily defended castles you go around and quickly assault their lightly defended castles they raised armies from. That's about it. I didn't find much replay value but if you can get it on special for $5 or something I'd say go for it.

I'd prefer playing Ireland with fog off and watching the Aztecs clash with the Golden Horde
