how you feel?
It really grinds my gears that China isn't fully included in Crusader Kings 3
Which brings me to the point in the other comment, which is that the game's mechanics are tailored to representing a specific political system, which isn't really applicable outside of Western Europe. It's already inaccurately representing the Middle East, North Africa, India, Central Asia, Southeastern Europe, and even not all that accurately representing Western and Central Europe.
What would be the point of adding all these things to the game, only to have them be represented in an incredibly shallow manner, as just feudalism with different words for the titles?
We could argue that there's an issue of eurocentrism about how few games are made with specificaly non-european history in mind, and I'd agree. But just putting the entire world in a single game wouldn't solve it.
Okay, how feasible would it be to have a game with 30 entirely different gameplay systems, all somehow interacting with one another?
That's why I made the point about a single game - if we had Mesoamerican Kings, Indian Kings, Steppe Kings and a bunch of other ones as separate series, with mechanics tailored to each region and period, it'd be one thing, but having a game which just has the entire world would inevitably end with very shallow, boring mechanics, that don't really facilitate anything beyond mindless blobbing.
The problem is CK's core mechanics are based around feudalism (or at least an imaginary idea of feudalism) and playing as a landed aristocrat, and mostly fail to represent anything other than that (republics and nomads kind of work, I guess). A massive imperial bureaucracy of scholar-officials isn't something the game can really deal with it.
It already has this problem with the Eastern Roman Empire, which has barely anything to do with the historical one, and a lot of the Middle East, which ingame just operates under slightly different feudalism. Adding China would make it even worse - like 3/4 of the game world would essentially be fantasy with historical names.
Yeah but the Shoshone pathfinder upgrades automatically to composite bowman and gets to pick ruins bonuses to maximise aincient era tech. Coupled with the vast expanse resource nabbing city ability you can have a formidable power base before your opponents even get round to building their 3rd city.
I don't know enough about China. That needs to change. If I had any free time I'd really try and learn Mandarin.
Pretty good, boutta go to sleep and I’ve got a warm blanket so that’s nice
I think any leftist with anti China sentiments should examine how much Reddit CIA propaganda they read.
