'Basically the tool will generate, from scratch, a completely new history of humanity from its first exodus from Africa as a new mod to be playable in CK2 (and now optionally an entirely random map!). Instead, this is similar to the Dwarf Fortress ideal, using the game's systems to create not only new factions and power struggles, but the historical rationale for their existence. When Yemmlie contacted me to let me know about the generator, I figured it'd just make a random map with factions spread across it. It defaults to the vanilla map but if you want a random world to play on as well, that's supported. The CK2 Generator can create alternate histories, simulating the appearance and development of cultures, religions, languages, characters and all the rest. Wouldn't it be great if Crusader Kings II could do something similar, rather than sticking to actual historical beginnings? Thanks to a modder who goes by the name Yemmlie, it can. It's one of my favourite openings to any game and gets me far more hyped than any fancy cinematic intro. Not just a map, but a world, with its own legends, characters, factions and historical wars. When you start a new game of Dwarf Fortress, a world is generated.
