Howdy all!

While not a proper Dev Diary, your friendly local Community Manager is here to let you know what's been going on in the world of Crusader Kings lately!

As most of you are aware, we have two different teams working on Crusader Kings right now! One is hard at work at Lab42 to bring you the Console edition of the game! The other team is our very own Stockholm crew who are making sure everything looks right and is working properly for the 1.5.1 Update after Royal Court.

While the Update is not quite ready yet, we are working hard to make sure that we include as much of your feedback, technical issues, and quality of life as possible into the next version of the game as humanly possible. But, we promised you that we would keep you in the loop, so here we are!

With that in mind, we are here to let you know what is going on and how things look. Without further ado, here is a little list of sneak peeks coming up:
- Improved AI - including Warfare and Crusades - Lots of work has gone into this one and we are excited to see and hear what you think
- Fixed the Council Task events not triggering properly or at all (including "Train Commander" as reported by Community)
- Balance to the War for England - William the Conqueror never seeming to win
- Fixes to Demand Artifact for the AI
- Fixes to disbanding/reforming Factions
- Improved Shadows and Lighting for the Throne Rooms
- And of course, there will be a WHOLE lot more

Still a bit of work to be done, but we are working hard on this end of things, so keep an eye out for news. We will always keep you as up to date as possible on all things News and Update related as soon as we are able!

Thank you all again for your understanding and dedication to the game. Without you, this game and Community would not be the warm and welcoming environment it is today.

Until we hear more, this is Sonic Pariah signing off for now!

So *that's* why I always ended up with only 3 knights. And here I thought I forgot how to play the game...

Anyway - aside "SOON™" any closer ETA when the update will arrive? March, early April, late April, later?

Thanks! Awaiting this patch with great anticipation! I haven't played a lot since Royal Court, because the councilor task bug was uh... bugging me. But otherwise I love this DLC and I am so ready to get back into it as soon as the 1.5.1 drops. Keep up the great work!

On the subject of warfare please check to see why the AI hardly ever (if at all) call for jihad. Also could you tell us if it is WAD or a bug that co religious neighbors never help defend against holy wars.

Always make it sound good on paper but it remains to be seen when released.

Would be nice if the next big update 1.6 was just focused on purely fixing the game events so they have proper logic applied to them and fixed AI logic so war declaration, factions, seduction, murdering are all revamped so the AI have true goals to go for instead of randomly doing stuff just cause they can.

I would love to have a way to quickly and easily get rid of all artifacts not in use.
Quick way to repair them as well and be able to select multiple artifacts when gifting them and most importantly show names of the artifacts when I am applying them in the court room so I can see which item is placed where in the court room

Agree - if I, as king of England, collect multiple Excaliburs, I’d like the ability to destroy all of them except one so as to be able to claim that the surviving sword is indeed the true Excalibur!

Nice, most of the changes announced are major problems of the game right now. The Artifact wars are so absurd. On my last game i got 5 artifact wars in less than 10 years...I just surrendered to them, i mean, i value peace more than a random object that gives me low bonuses, who cares about losing a bit of prestige for it.

And any fix for the erratic behavior of the AI are welcomed
