This game sucked hardcore until I found the mod that added guild banks and hookerbots. After that it was pretty sweet.

Well, the Kickstarter is all ready to go... I'm just waiting for Amazon Payments to verify my account. 
I actually already *have* an account, but it was used for mechanical turk, and Amazon was freaking out whenever I tried to use it. Doing a LOT of Google-diving revealed that evidently Amazon is stupid and has failed to properly set up older payments accounts that were set up for use with the turk, so the recommendation was 'make a new account'. Yay, Amazon.
Hopefully they'll get around to it tomorrow, since I was planning on launching by tonight/today.

Did you let Pagans do it, too? If so, pretty soon Europe is going to be ruled by Witch Emperor Brinjolf.
Also, newest screenshots look like they don't match up to AE; good news, since it means I won't be getting a copy-paste of something I already have.
Now that sounds interesting.

That's it for now. Next week I'll talk about polygamy, decadence, and strong and weak claims!

I've seen quite a few projects honor donations outside of Kickstarter. Here's one I got through a quick google search, and I also saw another (ongoing, I think) one like it today which allowed donations via paypal for those who can't use the Amazon service:
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/azac/fund-the-new-clothing-collection-by-azraels-accomp/posts/191766
If I find it in the rules somewhere that it's strictly verboten I'll reconsider, but frankly, most of my rewards are virtual anyway, and Kickstarter can hardly prevent me from giving the same stuff out directly after the project ends if I say it has nothing to do with the Kickstarter. ;P I would imagine they say it's forbidden because they don't want their cut of the funds to be reduced, but I've been giving virtual rewards away for donations since I first put the button up. Can't see that it makes much difference.

« on: May 31, 2012, 02:30:47 pm »So if I donate trough the site instead of kickstarter, would I still get a reward? Don't worry, I won't not donate if I don't get anything :p
Also, you make me sad that I don't have $100 to spare.
Also˛, I just found out I've lost my card thingy. However you call it. Not a credit card, but you put it in the ATM, punch a few buttons, and get money. Anyway, I lost it, and I'll have to wait for a new one before I can donate. It'll take a few days at least, sorry for the delay.
No problem! Yes, I can definitely still offer you rewards via normal donations.

« on: May 31, 2012, 09:26:03 am »If the West African part of the dlc is the same as the mods, I'm probably not going to buy it. Those mods felt really incomplete and the added land was basically worthless and filled with independent counts (which either looked like Arabs or zombies, depending on the mod) which never did anything at all.
I really hope PI makes the new area a bit special and not just Finland 2.0
Agreed. I play Balansegeng because of the balance fixes it provides, but Africa itself kinda sucks. I tried starting there once and it was just terribly tedious to get anything done.
My current game is actually as the king of Finland. It's... yeah. Despite being Pagan and having Warrior Cults and owning vastly more territory, if I even look at Sweden (who has annexed Denmark) the wrong way they just hire holy orders and go on a stomping spree across my territory. *Really* annoying.

« on: May 31, 2012, 08:47:20 am »Something that is cheap for you to do and people tend to like is in-game references to them or to something they choose. Say, for instance, for €10 their name (or nick) gets in the world gen name list, for €20 they get to create a spell effect, for €50 they may create a race that may appear in the non-random races mode you talked about earlier. Extremely silly or in-game impossible entries would be denied and the people affected would be allowed to come up with something more serious, if necessary in cooperation with you, or something like that.
Yep, this is already part of the Kickstarter - every donor level (even $1) will get an in-game insertion as a randomly generated NPC, starting out as a peasant and moving up to a ruler or god at higher donation levels. At $100 you'll be able to 'design' your own civilization by filling out a set of parameters I'll send. I did try to keep rewards as virtual as possible, and the only one I'm considering that's not a virtual reward is turning some of Shook's images into posters (especially since he's designing a couple of images just for Cult). Those would be at something like a $50/minimum donation level though, and probably only to the continental US. My only worry is calculating all of the costs for mailing tubes and shipping, but I think it could be worth to include at least one 'real' reward, in case people are really set on getting a physical object. It would also be a way for me to toss some of the income generated from those rewards directly to him.

« on: May 30, 2012, 06:17:02 pm »Okay, my point was not 'zomg these modders should be PAID'. It was 'I think Paradox may have used this stuff directly because they thought it was cool and brought these modders on board'. The shot of the African provinces matches up EXACTLY, and you'd see what I mean if you actually went and investigated, rather than just had a knee-jerk response. There are a million and one ways Paradox could have fleshed out North Africa, and it's unlikely it'd look precisely the same as a mod. Not impossible, but unlikely.
I could be wrong, but there's no reason to be such dorks about it.
At any rate, I'll still be buying it if it looks even marginally interesting. Like I said, CK2 is an awesome game, and they deserve the money (although I'm annoyed I didn't buy it in that crazily cheap Amazon bundle instead of getting it at the original full price, but... eh, same thing, the money will go towards a good cause).
