Honestly the idea wouldn't have been so weird to him. Strategy games have existed for millenia, and Alfred was familiar with chess in particular. It was also relatively common to imagine what Alexander could or should have done, that kind of thought exercise. 2000 years ago, rhetores in training imagined how the war of Troy could have been avoided with the right discourse, so alt history wasn't a weird concept either. The principle of being a character in a strategy game would likely have flattered him. Now of course the technological side would be much harder to explain.

I would have loved having this dlc before, I had a king of Ireland who conquered the kingdom of Alba, but he died early, so his twin boy each inherit a kingdom at 6 years old. They were at war against vassals then northerners from 6 years old to 19 years old, I didn’t married anyone so my brother will inherited the kingdom of Ireland after my death, and I fought against england to conquered everything, but died at 36 from injury. My brother took over and he stabilised the territory before creating an empire. Those twins’ life were legend, I really taught I would loose everything when they were six years old kids

Occasionally throughout history in these middle ages when a casus belli was expected of you, there were a rare few individuals who could simply say "I am going to take this because I am entitled to it" and transcends rules just based on their fame and legend. I adore that this DLC will bring that to the game. Quite often I have a character who achieved great things (and I try to play RP wise, not optimally, so often I die doing dumb but true to trait stuff) and it seems silly that they have to seize land according to the same rules as a petty king.

I disagree with this take from a technical point. Powercreep as a critique only works in pvp settings where power creep is a symptom of a pay 2 win model. In crusader kings, you usually play singeplayer, and if you play multiplayer all players use the same mod-pack/dlcs, so there is no unbalance or p2w. You are not forced to buy new dlc to 'keep up with the meta' or something like that. We may agree on however on a perceived gap between the value of added dlc content vs the associated price tag, a known issue with various paradox interactive games

@@Ezullof At the same time, some kingdom titles never existed before lands were united. For example scandinavia has kingdoms that never existed or were de jure until after the country was united.

It looks like you had fun, but i'm really worried about the balance of these new mechanics. It looks like there is more conquests, more stability, and more consolidation. You played only one character though, so it could be interesting to see how your heirs will manage the empire you created there. However, even if this character was especially successful, you still managed to finish 3 legends and had more legitimacy you could ever dream of. This was a sponsored video, so you kept all the juicy parts of course, but as much as it should be fun to be a legend... If every character is able to complete 3 legends and create 2 empires on his lifetime, the fun will quickly evaporate.

What's the point of consolidating kingdom? Isn't it more beneficial to be Emperor with Dukes under you, as that way they still consider you their de-jure liege but can't desire a kingdom when it doesn't exist? And then once your Empire is too huge that you're above your vassal limit, that's when you start forming kingdom titles to consolidate dukes under them. When I was reading the DevDiaries I thought the consolidate kindgom decision was to instantly de-jure drift a kingdom into your empire. But if it's to join another kingdom with your kingdom, I see little use of that.
