It would be sweet if we could do a republic.

It would be sweet if we could do a republic.

That reminds me. I should pick up the Republic DLC...

I'm going to officially vote for vanilla, because even though I don't have a problem with any mods I think it might just be easier for everyone all around. Whatever we do, we need to keep this about as basic as possible so that way saves are compatible.

You put a Touhou mod up so there no other choice for me to pick... so random I mean really

It's a hilarious mod, so it gets my vote.  Bullet hell for the win!

Whichever mod or no mod, I'm in.  Just no DLC, money's tight right now.

I would personally prefer a single county start to make it more challenging, but if there is a strong wish for something else that is fine to.

You know, we could go a step further than just selecting a single county

Hey, I like that mod seems perfect! But it seems people are in favor of vanilla, and I agree that it probably better to make it as easy as possible first time around. But if this one is a success I would think that is a good option for another round!


By decree of the forum vanilla have been chosen!

I'd be okay with most mod choices. I haven't tried ck2 plus, but have heard good things and wouldn't mind giving it a shot.

I have the character creator in case we decide on making our dynasty from scratch, makes it a little harder as you don't have a large bloodline and the characters tend to start our weaker. But definitely an added bit of fun.

I would strongly push for a single county start as I am of the opinion that it will make our accomplishments all the sweater once we've spread our bloodline across the known world!

That sounds great! I think if possible he should have the Dwarf and Strong heritable traits. And make sure the character portrait have a nice big beard. 

What education and other traits he should I will leave up to you and what other people on the forum suggest that is dwarfy.

For first name I believe 'Urist' is the most fitting for the patriarch of our budding dynasty.

Last name, well lets hear what people think is best, because its gonna stick with us the rest of the game.

Personally, I think the prefix 'Mc' should be included (but not absolutely unnecessary).

My suggestions for last name is 'McToadyone' but come with suggestions!

As for starting county, well, a independent county in Ireland (or Scotland) gives some interesting possibilities and fits the naming scheme. The norwegain mountains or somewhere north would also be very dwarfy (or maybe the alps?). But come with suggestions if you guys have a preference!

I dunno, I think ireland is somewhat overdone to be frank,

[EuchreJack]

Looking ahead, I think vanilla is for the best, purely because CK2 was upgraded Monday, and it is hard to tell whether or not all those cool mods have been updated yet, or even if those that underwent an update have been properly updated.

Between the possibility of the CK2 update itself being buggy and needing a bugfix, and mods needing updating and bugfixing, now is probably not the time to fiddle around with mods if we want the long game that typifies succession games.

I like the idea of starting near/in a mountanous region.

[hostergaard]

No for Ireland? That is fine.

But we also gotta decide on whatever to be a completely independed county at the start of the game or vassal to someone.

With the former I thing the only mountainous county possible in vanilla that is mountainous would be jamtland up in Norway/Sweden. It gives some easy avenues for expansions into the counties of Norse faith that is our neighbors.  Or maybe we could become Norse ourselves. I am not sure if its possible, but maybe.

Being a vassal have some positive and negative things associated with it. We are somewhat protected against outside thread and more routes for political expansions. But it does limit our freedom to do as we wish. We do have more options in mountainous counties tough.

[Jarod Cain]

Honestly, I was going to suggest Brittany. But Iceland, Isle of Man, Sicily or Malta would be fun (though if we're going straight vanilla with no dlc Malta is sadly excluded).

As far as dynasty name, I say use Bay12. Sure it doesn't make sense in a historical context but it does make sense for us. Then we can just name the heirs what we want as they're born.
-J-

[Xeron]

I say Sicily.

[Alkhemia]

Iceland or Isle of Man

[Lorgath]

How about starting somewhere in the north of Spain, and calling our dynasty Toadyjuan? Or maybe somewhere in France with the dynasty name of De Baidouze. What about Von Helmetenzie-Plumpendorf in Germany? Otherwise, not Iceland. Iceland would be dull.

[Felius]

No DLCs at all?

Hmmm, Welsh or Norse might be fun. Ireland does feel a bit overdone yes, although it is a rather easier option if we need it. Being a vassal to someone might be fun, as it will make we need to first get independent from them before actually striking on our own. That or playing the old game to try to usurp the throne.

[hostergaard]

So how about Jamtland? Plenty of options for expansion, and potential enemies in both Norway and Sweden who might want to add us to their kingdom. Mid game goal of getting either kingdom probably, and long term goal of forming the Scandinavian empire.  I might even be able to go Norse. 

[jakeread1]

The Glorious Authoritarian Empire of The Isle of Man. I would love to see this happen. Note if I ever decide to do a turn in this I might just try and be the crazy ruler and choose terrible and crazy decisions.

[Neonivek]

I can't imagine how much it would suck if someone's turn started and they died less then a year later from The Origan Trails Virus.
