also i'm mad because it doesn't work with ironman mode, which you have to play to get cheevos. it's alright, but not something you want to fiddle with while you're learning the game. PORTRAITS and UNITS and MUSIC packs: buy some for your preferred region(s) when ck2 goes on 75% off sale somewhere, you can get them for like a dollar apiece. SUNSET INVASION fucking owns, that guy up there is a tool. india has the problem of feeling Generally Irrelevant to most games since affecting the western world in any way involves conquering a whole swath through to the mediterranean which won't happen until you're fully swag and the game isn't really fun anymore. i think india is really cool, so i like it. RAJAS OF INDIA is either great or stupid depending on how you feel about india. not a high priority, but just full of Generally Cool Things if you play crisschins or muslims much. it lets you get favors from the pope and lets heresies supersede their parent religion which is great. SONS OF ABRAHAM is really cool imo and probably my second general pick after old gods. note that combining vikings with legacy of rome produces unstoppable fuckery. only complaint is fuck defensive pagan bonuses, but those are in the main game (albeit limited) now. it's the first recommendation for anybody anytime because ~860 europe is so great. the republic adds nothing but the ability to play merchant republics which, unlike muslims, are butt. buy it on huge sale if you're a completionist. whether this adds to or detracts from your game, ymmv.

the thing with retinues is they're flagrantly imbalanced if you game the system and the system is. LEGACY OF ROME adds nothing of merit except for retinues as that dude mentioned. SWORD OF ISLAM you should only buy if you want to play a muslim, and you should not buy if you have no interest in playing a muslim. I'll write something about dlc (long story short: above guy is mostly right but also wrong) later This guy is also mega cool and will totally help you with specific questions So I saw there already was a topic here but it's been ded for like 7 months and I didn't want to necropost.Īnyway, i remember this being a huge help when i was learning to play.
