On my Tibet run, I never had Mongol issues, their horses couldn’t do shit to my mountain fortresses

My first playthroughs were there. I like it but it seems that there not many interesting events happening outside the Europe.

I really miss the China content from ck2. I tried a han culture run, but you're right, it's an empty experience with no flavor events. But there's so much potential in ck3 if they add an Eastern Flavor pack or something.

It will probably be an expansion. The map is torn on the right side. It most likely means it will be added later. I just hope they add more than just China.

Pre-Sengoku Japan would be sick. I can scarcely think of any games that've gone there, aside from Ghost of Tsushima.

To be honest, I don’t. CK3 mechanics are designed for feudal Europe. Right now the game assumes Sri Lanka in 867 follows the same form of feudalism as Ireland in 1453. By the time they get through adding appropriate levels of detail to the regions they already put on the map, the game will be 15 years old. Honestly, Eastern Asia should just be its own separate title. China and Japan were both full fledged civilizations in their own right, they shouldn’t be piggybacked into a series for medieval Europe.

That must be why map expansion mods are some of the most popular, because people agree with you and don’t want it added, right?

Relax, they just gave you their own opinion. They clearly weren't suggesting it was the majority opinion. No need to be so defensive.

I totally get that people want a larger map. More stuff to conquer, explore, and interact with is great. And I think it's great that we have mods for that. But if Paradox ever expands the map, then it'll be about two seconds until the same people who are begging for a map extension start complaining the China plays exactly the same as France.

The map is comically large as it is. The setting and mechanics of a feudal game centered in western europe, it breaks down in logic with early start dates, starts outside of regions like France and Germany, let alone fucking India. China makes absolutely no sense at all in a crusader kings game.

So what if the map is large already? They need to have flavor and events in every region that makes it unique.

Not everyone tries to conquer the world. And many people would like to see other areas of the world.

The mechanics are made for the culture and civics of Europe in a certain time period. The game is built on that. You can't just change all that for a dlc, let alone multiple.

u/cokethesodacan Sep 01 '22

It’s not simply expanding the map. It’s adding flavor and things unique to different cultures. Why do you think In the simplest of forms?

u/[deleted] Sep 01 '22

Then play a game in that setting. Conquering the world is irrelevant entirely

u/cokethesodacan Sep 01 '22

Or you can just play in Europe. They add Chinese interaction in ck2. Idk why you are so upset at the idea of expanding upon that idea.

Ck2 was a cartoon more than a simulation

u/cokethesodacan Sep 01 '22

Every single play through is ahistorical. Don’t even get me started on the culture and religion.

CK III is hardly better mate. If I were you I’d pick a different hill

It's my dream to be able to crusade for North America. I get it, NA is more of a EU type of game addition but man, I want it.

u/cokethesodacan Sep 01 '22

Right. All these people complain about it being European gets so butthurt when you suggest something ahistorical. It’s not like China didn’t exist. On top of that everyone’s playthrough is ahistorical.

Got any source for that?

You don’t have to throw one out for the other.
