A wild card, not in the sense that the CK2 Generator mod is temperamental, but that its intentionally unpredictable. Last year, Adam rightly compared yemmlies work to Dwarf Fortress in that instead of portraying the world as we know it against what the history books might tell us, CK2 Generator spawns an entirely new history of humankind from scratch. In turn, this lets you grow your own entirely fictitious societies and landmasses and watch them procedurally generate before your eyes. Like Dwarf Fortress, youre free to transfer your new creations over into Crusader Kings 2 and watch them take flight further still. Basically the tool will generate, from scratch, a completely new history of humanity from its first exodus from Africa as a new mod to be playable in CK2, explains yemmlie. These cultures will then spread throughout Europe, mutating and changing as they spread, words and language, religions, ethnicity, cultural ideals, laws, looting, river sailing, incest, religious heads, holy sites, wives, concubines and everything, all morphing, mutating and branching off as humans spread through time and land.

From Westeros to Morrowind the Elder Kings total conversion mod transports the world of Bethesdas Elder Scrolls series to Crusader Kings 2. Set in wider Tamriel, Elder Kings sees players take control of one of the many fledgling countries of the Interregnum, so reads the mods description. Inno Setup Directx Install here. While still in development and probably due an update, Elder Kings boasts two playable scenarios both contained within the series lores Second Empire. The Interregnum takes place towards the end of this era with Cyrodiil in disrepute following the emporers murder. The Colovian, the Nibenese, the Bosmer, and the Argonians are but some of the races locking horns here in a bid to conquer Tamriel.

Korbah who is also involved in Elder Kings mentioned above decided to make it A Real Thing. Dain1098/GOT-CK2.png' alt='Crusader Kings 2 Mods' title='Crusader Kings 2 Mods' />The result is something similar to Paradoxs own Sunset Invasion DLC as it creates an alternate timeline for it events to unfold within. At some stage after the year 1. AD an unexplained zombie outbreak occurs in Ethiopia which quickly spreads from Africa to Europe. Enter you, the player, and supposed world saviour as you scramble to form armies strong enough to combat the spreading infection and restore peace and, you know, humanity to the world after ridding the globe of the walking dead. If it feels like zombies are in everything these days, thats because they are. But theyre also good fun. By Enlil. While it could be argued 2. Enlils When The World Stopped Making Sense is a lovely mod which reinterprets the Migration Period at any date between 4. AD which aligns with the fall of the Western Roman Empire and 7. AD. From here, players can play through till the fall of the Eastern Roman Empire centuries later in 1. AD. This is definitely one for the history buffs and while other Crusader Kings 2 Dark Ages mods tend to follow a typically predictable historically accurate arc, When The World Stopped Making Sense allows for more player autonomy as you craft yet another alternative timeline. Its still in development, however ten multi century spanning bookmarks are planned in total. By CK2. Plus Team. Perhaps the most essential Crusader Kings 2 mod available for those after a challenge CK2 changes host of things about the base game with the aim of deepening the CK2 experience. In practice, this means making the base game more challenging without straying too far from what makes it enjoyable. Historical accuracy somewhat takes a backseat along the way, but the upshot is a more involved game. For example, one of the most obvious tweaks CK2 brings with it is the reduction of vassal limits. In turn this means managing larger empires is significantly more difficult, and makes the decision to increase Crown Authority far more important. Retinues are also smaller, thus more difficult to maintain, and the usefulness of technologies has been capped. Furthermore, more considerations have been applied to factions, meaning they now bore more common interests. Do they want peace and wealth asks the mods creators. Do they want a strong ruler with lots of prestigeThe weirdest Crusader Kings 2 mods. Crusader Kings 2 certainly doesnt need a lot of help being weird, given that you can already put a horse in charge of your government, marry your immortal great grandmother, and sacrifice them both to Satan using only the base game and its official DLC. When it comes to the considerable task of making it even weirder, though, the mod community hasnt been slacking. Here are the weirdest CK2 mods our spymaster could track down and drag before our throne For those of us who spend most of our campaigns trying to get Charlemagne senpai to notice us, this mod adds hundreds of hand drawn, anime style portraits for everyone from the Pope to Genghis Khan. There are even variations included for various illnesses and traits like Blinded. It was just updated on September 2, so this probably isnt even its final form. When Horse characters were added for an event based on the Roman emperor Caligula wanting to make his horse a consul, there were protections put in place by the developers to make sure horses couldnt marry, breed, or own land. Players found a way around these almost immediately. But there are still some barriers to immersion when playing as an equine emperor, such as the fact that your young ones will still have the portraits of a full grown horse. This mod fixes that by adding portraits for young horses. Not enough horse shenanigans for you yet As per the creators description, this one adds a 3 6 part event chain that revolves around Sleipnir, Odins 8 legged horse, coming of age and being a cannibal horse that eventually gains a large army. Its a tale as old as time itself. Sleipnir will spawn at the head of a horsey host some 1. Europe to contend with. There are already mods for Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings, Elder Scrolls, and Warhammer, so perhaps I shouldnt have been so surprised to discover one based on C. S. Lewis The Chronicles of Narnia. Its still fairly early in development, but already includes bookmarks for The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe and Prince Caspian, as well as a fairly fleshed out map. Hell yeah Now weve got business This mod replaces a lot of the audio cues for various menus and diplomatic actions with the musical stingers from Bill Wurtzs fantastic history of japan and history of the entire world, i guess videos. It gets old pretty quickly, but is good for some short term amusement. SHUT UP MILITARY SCREEN, I CANNOT HIRE A SAMURAI ITS THE YEAR 9. AND I LIVE IN ESSEXFinally, a nice, sensible mod in the midst of all this nonsense. The Monks Mystics DLC allowed characters who secretly praise Satan to supernaturally impregnate a friend or family member with a demon baby who would one day go on to lead the armies of Hell to ultimate victory. Again, this is all unmodded CK2. But there was one problemif you were playing a female ruler, you couldnt get Lucifer to knock you upThis mod fixes that, so you can have your own little, bouncing harbinger of the apocalypse. Awww, he has your eyesNo, seriously. I think he cut it them out while you were sleeping. What fun is being best buds with the Great Enemy if you cant shout it from the rooftops This mod allows the High Priest of the secret Satanist cult to come out of hiding and institutionalize Satanism as a full fledged religion. Most people who have not accepted your dark master will hate you, of course. But you can take up to 2. Thats just the tip of the brimstone, toodedicated hellions can summon demons and even become a lichTurns out everything you were told about the opposite sex in fourth grade was true. Or rather, it can be if you install this mod. Very simply, it adds Cooties as a potentially deadly epidemic to ravage your realm, joining the likes of consumption, measles, and The Plague. Best make sure your Court Physician knows how to correctly perform the Cootie Shot. If youve found any other bizarre CK2 mods worthy of a mention, let us know about them in the comments.
