Was the CK2 Americas an expansion pack or something early on I kept getting reports about "Skarlings" or whatever the Norse called the Natives, but then nothing came of it even after I've been playing long enough to take over half the map.Kathinka said:Derailing history is always the most fun part. Nothing like seeing the face of the french-spanish eperor when the Cherokee nations land on his shores to manifest destiny his ass.
Works even better if you import a CK2 savegame file where crazy stuff happened, like a powerful transatlantic Aztec empire, a United Islamic Republic or a stable Mongolian alliance with Rome as the capital.
For the OP yea this has come before especially with Europeans getting an innate bonus to research and the general consensus was that the game sticks to History as much as possible forcing you to really push if you want to derail it. So this was just a gameplay mechanic to simulate something the cause of whoch is still quite a debated topic from what I hear.
