CRUSADER KINGS 2 - HOLY FURY DLC REVIEW | Is Holy Fury Worth It?

[@Xaders1]

a "Goofy" approach, as he is showing a Kingdom lead by dogs...

[@PartyElite]

You. You get me ;)

[@MotivatedPony]

just like nowadays

[@BayonetRecon]

I had already made up my mind to buy it, but still had to watch your review. :)

[@vaereroes8958]

I've been playing as a germanic and honestly just adds so much to do while you are sitting and waiting. Makes the game 100% more enjoyable.

[@alphabryan4703]

I should have bought this instead of a 20$ pizza I chose hunger over fun now im hitting myself in the back of my head

[@nocx4592]

How big was the pizza that you thought $20 was worth it anyways? (Just wait for the price to drop from "brand new dlc price" of $20 and then wait for sale and you can probably get it for $7.50)

[@DisgruntledFun]

“I haven’t felt this excited to go on a crusade in a while… in the game I mean” so you’re always excited for a crusade outside the game then?

[@Gravord85]

This dlc will make awesome addition to Warhammer mod, Geheimnisnacht.

[@TheStonewall117]

Gravord a Total War game with STRONG elements from Crusader Kings would be absolutely amazing.

[@Gravord85]

Oh yes. But Ck2 Warhammer mod is pretty fun too. With updating cults and warrior lodges will get even better.

[@PartyElite]

*NOTE:* Some of the changes to the Crusades highlighted in this review come with the free update to the game (the UI, contribution, target, benficiary, etc.) while others (Northern, Fourth, Children's Crusades, specific Event Chains, Reconquista) are part of the DLC only. I felt it was still worth discussing in this video as part of a bigger change, but realized I should highlight the difference after the fact! *Buy the DLC here if you'd like to support the channel and charity as you do:* www.humblebundle.com/store/crusader-kings-ii-holy-fury-expansion?partner=PartyElite

Awesome review bro, love your channel. Who’s your favorite ruler in the game?

[@antiochusiiithegreat7721]

So we can play as dogs but still cant play as holy orders?

[@apocatastasis80]

dogs don't have special mechanics, holy orders and teocracies do.

[@antiochusiiithegreat7721]

@@apocatastasis80 I understand there are some mechanic problems but come on the game is called Crusader kings! They should figure something out as to how a player can play as a holy order.

[@Redfren]

wow you rocked that review, Thanks.

[@TheDementor64]

Thanks for this review. This has really made me think about picking up a good game again that I've put down for some time now.

[@TheTarturo]

Oh man, just got the new TTW2 DLCs. Can't afford this one right now, but it sounds like a lot of fun...

I couldn't afford it either, so I just pirated the DLC and put it in the games DLC folder in the directory. I had to use creamapi to make the game think I had bought the mod. I did this with all the mods. My poor ass could barely afford the game when it was on sale a long while ago.

[@TheTarturo]

@Yeah, no, I'll buy it.^^' I don't mind others not doing it (most of the time), but Paradox is truly deserving of the money they ask for.

[@Music_From_Outer_Space]

Great review! Would love to see more CK2 Let’s Plays from you!

[@PartyElite]

Thanks! And that's definitely something I'm planning on doing!

[@Luredreier]

6:49 Remember that you can make your own. 12:14 You haven't played enough with them I think. Try playing as Mali and go all in on martial and the children of the storm. Try to get a personal combat skill of at least 180, a martial of 50 and go on a rampage against your enemies. ;-)

[@Identitools]

It is, but i'm still watching that anyways cuz the dlc isn't out yet

[@eqeqeqe9547]

I love these videos, keep making them!

spent the whole night playing it. so sleepy.

[@Kilroyan]

loving the additions with the dlc; will be getting this one for sure

[@Scottec1425]

I love the Blood lines, I got an immortal event on my 2nd character, succeeded that. and after that he went on a legendary celebration with the warrior lodge of Africa so hes a double legendary blooded guy. I don't quite understand the mechanism of it yet still. cause I look down my blood line which started out African pagan. and now is reformed and I was able to secure premigentor on my lands now. but my Heir dose not have the blood lien but his mother did. so I'm not sure why she didn't pass it to him. SO now I've got my grandson marrying another one of my daughters taking her name to see if its just past though that way. Overall fun!

[@unnamedshadow1866]

i believe the lack of playable Holy Orders is a big turn off. Seriously, mods like the Game of Thrones mod have been able to make Orders playable, like the Night's Watch. Dunno why Paradox can't do the same.

[@unnamedshadow1866]

@Celtigar but what i want is an official way to do it. You have to use console commands. Game gives you game over once the Knightly Order ruler dies. Paradox can easily make them playable, since you can play as them with console commands. All we need is a mechanic that allows the next dude to inherit without giving you game over, and maybe a couple of new inheritance options.

[@TrackerRoo]

Not really the point of the game, you build a dynasty. Want a guild building game you should look elsewhere.

[@chewchewtrain]

@@TrackerRoo Why can't it be both? What's wrong with having more than one way to play the game?

[@TrackerRoo]

@@chewchewtrain It's not the game though, you'd need to look elsewhere for that sort of thing. Maybe someone could mod it in, but you shouldn't count on the modding community to add every little thing you want added.

[@ares106]

8:46 - Crusade starting in 666 days, i loled

[@MindfulCrane07]

I was wondering, is it only Catholic cristians who can participate in crusades, or can you also do it as, say an orthodox count in the byzantine empire? I am pretty sure i read somewhere it was only catholics, but wanted to make sure before i go ahead and start a new game Anyway great video! :)

[@BaronPadishar]

Catholic and Fraticelli

[@cannedstarfish6194]

Thinking about playing Jewish African, doubt they've got anything new

[@TheAngryXenite]

@iury1986 Crusades are specific to Catholics and whatever heresies of theirs have religious heads. However, as you've guessed, Muslims have the equivalent of a Crusade, the Jihad, while Jews who have reestablished their Temple and Pagans with suitable reformation traits can call Great Holy Wars.

[@phillipcrichton1109]

I like how you pronounced 'reconquista' right.

'shattered world' was for many years already part of mods

Yeah, but they added more flavor to it that the mods simply couldn't.

I have never played as pagan before, wich location should i start as, i am planing on using a custom ruler, i just need to know a good location and start age

I still dont feel like we are being treated well by Paradox, but this seems like a fine addition to the game after a long time.

[@DanielcGaming132450]

Do Pagan Religions who have a religious hierarchy similar to Christianity get to have crusade-like mechanics as well?

[@scorpionfiresome3834]

9:49 Creepy ass Pope

[@politicallycorrectredskin796]

I like the idea of societies, but always thought they were a little lazy and superficial. Still, the max rank pagan is too good to miss, particularly if you can berserk to get out of jail. Just endless battles without having to worry about being killed, except if you lose a duel I guess.

[@HazmatSuitUp]

Is it really worth $20 though?

[@snakeenjoyingacanofbeans5219]

Hungarians are still roflop. A good expansion all the same, and I like the new portraits for French

[@Tyler360]

After a string of god awful DLC this looks like they finally got their crap together and put something out that's worth it. This is the proper way to make an expansion paradox, no more Monks and Mystics or Jade Dragon BS.

[@tyrannyrains5341]

i got this simply because they revamped the italian portraits. italian women dont look the same anymore.

[@tyrannyrains5341]

@ i just wish they worked on the nord women. they are still atrocious an i refuse to marry any of them xD

[@tyrannyrains5341]

@ i like to start as an english cultured count somewhere in norway an breed them out xD thats how much i dislike their portraits i want women that look like lagirtha from vikings not ragnar in a wig xD

Are you implying that Byzantines can now participate in crusades? You keep using 'Christian' instead of 'Catholic' so I'm confused. Huge change if Byzantines can finally participate in some way

Guys, just download all the dlc.dll files, put them in a specific folder, download a dlc activator for steam, and you get ALL the dlcs for ck2 for free, and able to play for achievements in some cases. Not gonna post where to get it, or else people gonna thing Im advertising some stuff. Search it yourself, I spent less than an hour and got all the dlcs now

Or show your support of the game and their developers by spending some of your hard earned money, instead of being a criminal.

[@OnederMan14]

@@tomasnievesirizarry7881 Or do what I did, while you're broke and can't afford to spend any extra money, pirate the game and play with all the DLCs as much as you want. Then when you have money to spend later on down the line, buy the game w/ DLCs to support the developers. Played the game pretty much since it came out and just bought the game and all the DLC a couple months ago. Not everybody that pirates is scum, usually it's people that just don't have the extra money to spend at the moment, and would buy the game if they could. Or its people that don't want to spend $60 or more on a gamble that a game is good. If you buy a bad game, well you're shit out of luck and just wasted $60 on something you will never use. So if you pirate the game first, you get the chance to experience the game without commitment. If you like the pirated game, buy it. If you play the pirated version and hate it, then don't buy it.

[@nocx4592]

Sway and antagonize should be free. At least we got the new crusades for free.... Which you failed to mention That dig at the demon worship societies 👍 Competitive bloodlines... Imagine that during a roleplay game... With the murder bloodline... Is it worth half of the base game of ck2? Yes.. Did I pay $40 for the base game? NO I spent $10 Is it worth twice as much? No. (Just wait till the price drops from $20 and it goes on sale, then you can probably get it for like $7.50)

[@TrackerRoo]

Nocx Also if you watch and wait for the free download weekends there’s a chance to even get the game for free. But yeah buying at 40 bucks isn’t really worth it and I’ve only done it when I needed another copy right then and there for someone.
