Europe is looking very confused in my India game. The duchy of Latium won the lands of Andalusia in a Crusade and somehow Asturias owns half of Ireland.

Is there a good way to gain karma as a hindu? There is a 500 karma cost for the subjugation CB and I have a hard time accumulating that much.

The beta patch is out. The patch should come out of beta next week. One of the more interesting features is that now you can search for people based on their traits. Seems like the religious unrest bug is fixed, but it won't be fixed in save games before the patch. I guess that means it might be best to start a fresh game if you were being plagued by religious rebels.

I'm looking for Vertigo, Cursed, Burning effects in AoW 3 and it seems like it's been removed. Is that true? Where's the strategy then?

There are some effects like that, I've run into bleeding, immolated and shocked so far.

There is currently a bug with Ironman saving, it should be better with the next patch. Hopefully they fix the religious rebel bug as well. I gave up playing my India game where I was getting a constant flood of rebels.

Summer is now a pain in the arse because you need to keep cool. I feel it adds a layer of unnecessary tedium to the game. I don't mind having one month (winter) where you are restricted by the weather, but having two whole seasons is a bit much. It's been a week or two since I tried it though, they may have balanced it some more since I last played (the early access has been out for a while).

1. Craptastic nonexistant AI
2. Combat is kinda boring after awhile, feels extremely unpolished
3. The empire building mechanics are terrible

I haven't played enough to get a good feel for it, but I've found that the AI has been adequate so far, especially the battle AI. I'd agree the combat can be repetitive, but that's a problem with every TBS game I've ever played (Total War series and Heroes of Might and Magic come to mind).

I've seen people bring up the empire building bit a few times, but  I feel as though that stems from expectations that the game is about empire building when it never has been a main focus of the series. It's kinda like saying the battles in Crusader Kings are boring.

Did rebels get worse recently? I've been playing an Indian game and all of the ai nations around me were absolutely overrun with rebels. So I took advantage and conquered vast swathes of land from my weakened neighbours. Now I'm plagued by the very same rebels, I'm always fighting at least one rebellion and I'm sometimes fighting as many as 3 at a time. The provinces that have them are generally suffering from the "religious unrest" modifier. I'm not sure how to make things better. The hindu priests seem to be pretty lousy at converting provinces.

Does the expanded map apply to existing games or only new games after the patch?

You can only play old saves if you revert to an older version through steam.

Anyway, question now is, should I be interested in getting Brave New World? Does it add all that much?

I enjoyed the additions that Brave New World added more so than Gods&Kings. The World Council/United Nations mechanic makes diplomacy and the late game a little more interesting.

Are the song DLCs worth picking up?

Keep in mind that you'll only hear songs if your playing the culture/region that the songs are for. For example if you never played as a Muslim then Songs of the Caliphate wouldn't be very useful. I wish there was a way to enable them so you could here them regardless of who you are playing.

It's a great month for strategy gamers. Warlock II snuck out a couple of days ago and an expansion for CKII is coming out next Tuesday. I'm looking forward to Age of Wonders the most though. :)

I'm having trouble with feeding my pirates. Does a stack of meat have to be prepared entirely or are they prepared one portion at a time? Or is it that you can't have a cook actively cooking a food source and have pirates eat at the same time?  I have a barrel full of fish and my cook stands there preparing food, but the rest of my pirates stand around and starve to death. I try going to taverns and my pirates still stand around and starve to death. Do the npc pirates that you haven't hired eat tavern food? Or is it that my pirates are too busy drinking to bother eating? I see their morale bar go from 99-100 over and over, so I'm not sure if it is a case they are prioritizing booze over food, or if it's just a matter of the tavern food being depleted.

Yes, it is. I regret not taking the other one. If only I had known the other was T-rex. A slight breeze seems to be enough to make my Aurorus faint  :'(
