inb4 balancing creates a bug where having both zero intrigue and being a carouser causes negative intrigue that is counted as unfathomably high.

Hope this adds some more options for resurrecting dead religions. I'd like to form a Roman Empire that brings back the imperial cult.

Finally. I've wanted to join other people's plots for ages.

Gonna make an intrigue 0 drunkard carouser and join everybody's plots.
You know as Martha the Antichrist I actually was the revealer for once. It was hilarious to me because I'd never seen that before; I assumed the game just made up it the drunkard message as a randomly generated "fuck you".

Also, seeing the 100+ plots constantly going on at all times in a largish-empire makes me yearn to do this, but I'll wait until the Intrigue QoL. Will also be super nice to sort through the LEGIONS of plots about killing Urist McGenericNoble#59 to see which ones I actually care about.
Hope this adds some more options for resurrecting dead religions. I'd like to form a Roman Empire that brings back the imperial cult.
You know as soon as I saw the first dev diary (which Teneb didn't copy) that referenced heresies and such, I've had this idea kicking around in my head for making a mod like that. Obviously, I'll wait until the DLC comes out before I start working on it, though.

which Teneb didn't copy

I am an incredibly petty and persistent man:
There's been a new dev diary.

Spoiler: Usual copy+paste (click to show/hide)

My guess is, aside from the obvious gnosticism, that we'll be getting more religion mechanics like monastic orders (such as the inquisitive Dominicans).


In mod-related news, Geheimnisnacht updated. Am happy.

Perhaps the Hellenic religion from the history files will finally see some use.

...I have ruined fixed history.

I destroyed a historic city of Rome (Papacy) during my Vikingr raid, inherited Frisia through 2 generations of clever manipulation of marriage ties (my wife inherited from her father Charlemagne - who never managed to have a son due to me imprisoning his wife decades ago, her inheritor was our son, I killed my wife, ..., profit), PyroDesu and I are currently conquering Britannia - where he will found the empire and be released as my vassal about 100 years after Charlemagne start... Scandinavia owns 1/3 of Ireland, 1/4th of England, all of Norway, Sweden, and Denmark, all of Pomerania, all of Finland, and a number of other bits, plus chunks of Frisia, Saxony, and Normandy, and once Britannia is formed we will crush the Catholics for ever.

Oh, and Vulga Bulgaria has exploded into its own eastern version of the Abassid Empire, the next emperor of the Byzantines happens to be my grandson, and We've burned the Venetian trade post to the ground no less than 20 times.

Say hello to my 10,000 man army and growing, foo's.

The Norse shall rise again, heathens.

The next DLC has been announced: Monks & Mystics. Here are the last dev diaries, since I didn't copy+paste them here awhile.
Thanks a lot for formatting and sharing these, BTW.  I'm not sure why I don't follow the dev diaries myself, but this has got me pretty hype!  Mostly just the QoL improvements-

I'm explaining the new stuff to two people and of all the things I got excited about, the biggest one was the mass prisoner decisions. It just takes up so much time having to go through my prisoners individually to execute them. Mayhaps there will be special mass executions to go along with that...

Pretty sure that's in the second image of QoL!  http://forumcontent.paradoxplaza.com/public/208495/upload_2016-11-28_14-59-28.png
Along with mass-releasing, if you're playing a naive kind ruler (:

Pffffffffft, 8 prisoners... Try being Norse and capturing 15 prisoners in one siege-raid. :P Multiply that by a good 30 raids...

Screw you and 3 generations of your bloodline, your marshal, your chancellor, his wife, and his 3 kids!

That is exactly why I'm so excited for this QoL improvement!  The ransom part of raiding will be much less tedious, oh yes.

And, obviously, if my character is cruel...  Well (:<
(execution?  No, no...)

Looks like it may be coming this year... and also looks like we'll never get playable theocrats.
Considering how The Republic worked out (it's a mess) playable theocrats were never in the cards. They don't even have proper dynastic inheritance.

I feel like playing this drunk would be an exercise in hilarious banter, frustration, and confusion. I'll do it one day.

On the topic of playable theocrats, I gave the Pope a test-run today. It's actually quite fun, in its own weird way, but the College of Cardinals for whatever reason doesn't get replacements when you do that so it ends up kinda weird quick; your heir just becomes whoever would have been the next Cardinal. It's kinda fun just focusing on expanding the religion instead of expanding your own territory, and having total control over Crusades is very nice.
