After all, you are submitting your sovereignty. You’ll earn Grace every month and receive a handy set of Chinese troops, but at the cost of half your income and a rather hefty four prestige per month. If you want to invite a steady stream of Grace, you can opt to become a Tributary.
This works in a very similar way to the pilgrimage event chain, but is in-keeping with the flavour Jade Dragon is trying to add, and can earn you some useful rewards along the way (as well as the additional Grace). Your ruler can also choose to head on a personal mission to China to kowtow to the Emperor. This latter indulgence doubles as a pretty useful way to get rid of a troublesome male character from court. The Emperor will respond to high-quality artifacts, and, funnily enough, eunuchs (if the character’s stats meet the desired expectations). Possibly not the greatest idea for my fledgling kingdom. Alternatively, you can risk the nation’s wrath by sending raiding parties to plunder their vast (again, off-screen) lands. Here, you can offer the Emperor various gifts in return for ‘Grace’, which, in turn, can be spent on requesting certain favours. If not though, you’ll have to make do with one of the handful of Taoist rulers, or perhaps the pagan Bon (another new religious addition) of the Sumparu kingdom.Ĭhoose anybody within range of the famous Silk Road trade route and you’ll be interacting (indirectly) with China’s Emperor through a separate menu screen.
Now, chances are that as a Crusader Kings 2 player looking at a new expansion pack you’ll have at least one of those. Playing as one of the newly added Han dynasty requires a start date earlier than 1066 so that needs The Old Gods. The Middle East (close enough to interact with what Jade Dragon offers) generally requires Sword of Islam. If you want to play as 90% of the Buddhist regions, you’ll need Rajas of India. A significant amount of those kingdoms (and duchies, and so on) of the east are restricted by prior DLC. That actually tosses up an interesting wrinkle, and one which links back to the now copious number of Crusader Kings 2 expansions.
To get the most out of Jade Dragon, you’ll want to start a new game somewhere in the eastern portion of the map. Sorry pal, got to keep the Emperor happy.
