One of these days I would love to do a multiplayer CK3 session

How do they work since the game isn't particularly turn based?

Personally I think what I would rather do if we have the time is single player but but we're all pitching our ideas on a call or whatever and control them together, play as a team basically, like your or me would just have a "WS" save to load up when we can all do it

So multi-player works in that it's real-time but players can hit the pause button for a max of 60 seconds at a time to deal with big decisions and whatnot, but you can also do multi-player settings to make it so other players can't attack each other.

Yeah I'd be down if can get CK3 running again. I'll probably have to remove all the mods from being active

Lmao worse case scenario for this one I just have to link my twitch or YouTube and can stream from my PS5 and we just do a voice chat elsewhere

 

[Barry Poppins]

That works too

I don't have any DLC though, pretty sure the PS+ version is just the two start dates, so you work on your computer first bc mouse+keyboard > controller for this one lol

I'm up for hearing any ideas for CK3, I usually like doing Adventurer runs cuz it allows me to start from nothing

I've only done the one ireland save so far which I assume is a very different gameplay than a lot of others so I'm open to anything that isn't another isolated island country bc I've really got that part down now lol I'll be home in about an hour and we can try to set up

Sounds like a plan

 

[Barry Poppins]

First big question is do we do 867 or 1066?

Been meaning to ask but @Chris have you had the opportunity to try out Europa Universalis IV at all?

Nah just this one so far bc it's free lmao

EU IV definitely leans much harder into the "strategy" game aspect compared to CK3
