Hardly an issue, because the game isn't in 32bit, like CK2 was when India was added. And it's actually better scripted (despite the spaghetti that handles 3D portraits) than CK2 ever was.
The real issue is the planned content itself. Imagine trying to shoehorn Far East under pre-existing mechanics and trying to run Imperial China as either feudal or admiinistrative realm using existing systems. And all of that made in a way that the Chinks won't just paint the map yellow, thus making their existence on the map pointless
They really should just made a separate game.

Anon, you don't understand. Paradox can't make games. They have 1-2 games that actually work and they twist and squeeze these to wring out as much DLC money out of them as humanly possible.
Paradox can't make a real East Asian game because they'd have to invent workable game mechanics for it. And they're incapable of doing that.

Adding new kingdoms and Byzantiums with yellow face make up is the way to go.

Thats been Paradox way for a long time, they simplify stuff and let redditors and retards defend their games on historical grounds despite all the issues.
Last I heard there are two Rollo de Normandie in-game because of Roads to Power.
The Islamic governements are all over the place between Iqta in CK2 and clan system.
Now all the Nomads are well nomads with the same system and mechanics even if they are on steppes or in the desert.

Instead of embracing the randomness and fun with historical mask like they did with CK2 (they gave no fucks since Rajas of India and Monks and Mystics), they try so hard to paint a "historical" setting in CK3 and miss the essential elements in Europe it self with the college of cardinals, merchant republics and trading mechanics.

If anything, they need to overhaul the game in Europe first then go slowly west. In future updates and DLCs but I doubt they will do even that. To much effort for little in return.

I meant slowly going east, mea culpa. CK3 is a mess, at this point and it really feels like the designers are torn between giving more content or accuratly depicting a medieval life.

All of the map expansion mods that include Asia proper have massive performance issues after the first 100 years or so, and they also all require at least 32gb of RAM if you don't want the game to write data to disk. And yeah as you said, they should have just made a separate game. When the fuck will I get to play a proper game where I can larp as the Mikado trying to restore imperial rule? How much more do I have to suffer?

Investigate/antipope mechanics were more important, and they were on CK2 on launch.
Entire medieval period was heavily influenced bythe investiture controversy (dispute over who had the right to appoint bishops.
This was important, because bishops were insanely powerful due to their land ownerships.
For example, in 1300 England had two archbishops (Cantebury and York), and clergy controlled 33% of England's land. Which made these archbishops much more powerful than most nobles.

The game literally takes up 10gb of RAM on startup. Are you going to try and convince me that these people know or care for optimization? The modders definitely know what they're doing better than they do, and even with the handicap of being stuck modding they've probably managed far better than Paradox ever could. I'll admit optimization was pretty decent on launch, but judging from the 5 or so years since then the people that originally worked on the game probably got sent to the firing line for doing too good of a job.

I am running this game on 2014 PC. The only time it actually slows down is when it is building cache past every reinstall/major patch. That's 16 GB RAM and i5-4570, still on HDD. Loads faster than any other PDX game released since I build that PC. In fact, it loads faster than CK2. So you can't even blame it on your rig being obsolete, because mine already is. What's your excuse then, other than repeating like a mantra "it sucks, because it sucks"?

>>2083527
You mean adventurers or you mean nomads? Because adventurers were fucking horrendous, and they eventually nerfed the whole roaming adventurer aspect (lmao) just to decrease CPU drag. Nomads requires from this shit to be top notch, or else there would be no point, so they've ironed it out, and then kept improving in post-release patches.
Part of the reason why I'm always lenient toward CK3 is that it's the only game in their line up that:
- worked in release state
- has actual patching done
- keeps using its own mechanics, rather than introducing new minigames each DLC
- new DLCs address issues of previous one (which is the only PDX game to do so)
Said all that, adding China is a stupid idea. Just not for the reasons people harp about.

I'm running on 16gb RAM, Ryzen 5500 and it's set up on an SSD. Loads slower than other PDX games including CK2 even without mods in, writes on my disk later in the game because it feels that 16gb of RAM(with no other applications open) is too little for it, and it visibly slows down at the 50, 100, 200 etc checkpoints of the game. My "excuse"? I think you're bullshitting about the game running so well, either that or in deep need of glasses.

Yeah, you're straight up lying. Get a stopwatch, this loads the slowest out of any Paradox game, CK2 takes about one second.
You can't notice the game is slow because your computer is so old so everything is always slow, the difference between speed 5 on year 1 and speed 5 on year 100 is night and day.

It's way worse
I have mid craptop from 2020
Base ck3 played more or less the same from start to finish
After they added tourneys and traveling characters it started slowing down past the 200 years mark but still was okay to finish
Mercs brought more lag for me, 100 years and it started to slow down, could more or less play for 250 years and after that its like a second per in game day
Nomads is barely playable for me it starts slowing down by 50 years and by 100 it's already slow enough to be annoying, anything past that is 1 day per second
Nomad mechanics were cool, too bad anything after will be completely unplayable for me

I don't understand why. Both Japantown and Chinatown most interesting things during this period are Mongols invading. It'd be boring as fuck unless both have mechanics that have nothing to do with how the states were ran historically.

They should still exist, but not be visible.
Instead of controlling armeis and seeing what is happening on the map, you only see warscore during war, and you can influence the course of war by hiring mercs and appoint commanders.

Right. I do not get what the point is telling everyone how many troops each ruler has.
That's information no ruler should have access.

It ultimately means weak kingdoms will never attack strong empires, because they are outnumbered.
So, if history operated under Paradox logic none would have ever attacked Roman Empire because their overall number of troops would have outnumbered everyone.

Emphasis on the "everyone" part. I'm fine with the players knowing their enemies' numbers, but fuck me if it isn't annoying that the AI actually gets to be omniscient - It just makes it extremely passive, and this happens in all Paradox games, except maybe Vic 2 (because of the crisis system) and Hoi4 (because things snowball in retarded ways). I hate this specially in EU4, there's gotta be a better formula for AI aggressiveness than "if number bigger than mine then wont attack"...

It's difficult to tell with the resolution and level of zoom in the game but I think he did have blue eyes. At the very least a few of the mutts in that dynasty did.

I can't remember how CK3 treats him, he's one-legged there, can't recall if that was from game start or not.
But as far as I'm aware, the exact meaning of his nickname is still debated. Some say it was an insult calling him impotent. Some say it was an insult calling him a coward (like spineless). It was the vikings tv show that popularized the interpretation that he was a gimp.

It's a little inconsistent, I think most border the new part of the map and were adjusted in some way. But SE Africa is obviously just new, not adjusted old lands. And those two in Tibet and the Tarim Basin seem too far from the new lands to warrant change, but maybe they wanted to tweak those areas and make them more province dense or something

Iโ€™ve been saying that for ages. Antipopes and investiture were hugely important for the time period. What they have set up over time is a stepping stone to having it and perhaps even a better system because more religions can do things with heads of faith and different faiths can even share them now, which could allow for very interesting antipope mechanics or even extend it to other religions as well.
Meanwhile the way cultures can override religion on things like marriage makes it clear something like this could extend to laws overriding clergy placement but it isnโ€™t done. Even if it was though the weird way ck3 handled theocracies preferring leasing instead of individual bishops makes it less beneficial unfortunately.

You can change the game's name from The Old World Ruler Simulator to something snappy like Kings-Who-Crusade.
Or you can continue the content creep with these further expansions with witty names:
>Heart of Lightness - rule the African interior, new slavery, cannibalism and infanticide mechanics
>Dreams - take charge of the Aborigines as they always were, unique unit of stick chuckers (the stick comes back!), these replace bowmen and are 10x as deadly
>Boat Lords - sail the Pacific, brace yourself for youtuber exodus campaigns to eat every Emperor in Europe! also comes with cannibalism mechanics
>Rainbow Lands - south africa now exists and as a united queendom! Frisian culture tagged characters don't survive long down here
>New World Order - the greatest and most ambitious addition yet, all of the Americas from the Malvinas (default name) to Newfoundland! Become High American as the natives! Embark on infrastructure projects as the Inca! Begin the Sunset Invasion as Aztecs and rip the hearts out of Europeans but only Europeans, Aztecs aren't worse people than satanists in CK games we swear!

I can't wait to take my vampire lesbian French bandit on a grand tour of China, committing bank vault theft while getting 12 FPS.

Paraducks will fuck it up and forget that China spent nearly all its history slaughtering Chinese. And will instead make them a megablob that ends up in Afghanistan by 1050.

CK3 is the only game that takes 10 minutes to load despite being on a 2TB SSD with nothing else on it.

The load is a little longer than normal games for me, but the only other person I've heard complain about it was a whiny entitled faggot that didn't want to accept that he was playing on a toaster.
Your shitty sata ssd is little better than an hdd.

A Samsung 990 pro read speed is almost 14 times faster than your bx500

On the bright side, total conversion mods are going to run much smoother.
