The idea: The premise is great, both from a gameplay and a thematical perspective. But let go into the specifics.Īssassins: I have yet to see the Assassins, so I cannot talk about them, but I will take them as an excuse to finally play as a muslim. I think this is honestly the first CK2 expansion I am disappointed about.
But when I see M & M, I think it would need more than just some fixing to make it work. I am very patient with balance issues and I know that in a complex game like CK2, no expansion survives the first contact with the enemy unscathed. I consider Conclave, Way of Life and Reaper´s Due the best expansions the game has to offer and defended them several times on this forum. My background: I am a Paradox Loyalist and Crusader Kings 2 is honestly my favourite game of all time. And I know at least one player who is every time excited to see magic, so I will not touch this issue. I was ready to go that route if the Devs wanted to take it. I will try to get the whole magic/ Satanists-are- silly discussion aside.
I will be compare many things to Way of Life, because with this expansion I can show what went wrong in my opinion. I felt compelled to write a review about it and will try to give some constructive criticism. So, I had the opportunity to dabble in Monks and Mystics.
