Paradox games but definitely NOT GAMES OF THRONE

This is what happens if you ignore the North and beyond the Wall.

Jesus fuck they have a lot of soldiers.

Interestingly, every time the War for the Dawn starts when I'm playing, the only ones who answer the call are the North, who it's kinda obvious will because of the longstanding relationship they have with the Night's Watch, and Dorne; who I can only assume here what the war is called and get the wrong idea.

I so want the DLC to remain on sale till Tuesday night. (aka payday)

[Quom]

It will be the same as it is now until the 21st if you mean on Steam. It might be cheaper for a day though if it pops up as a daily or flash deal.

[Schlitzbrille]

Ok now I'm good to go. The only major thing I have left to get is Way of Life.

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

Anyone who has it: Is the Way of Life DLC worth picking up? Seeing as all the DLC is on sale on Steam, if it's worth getting for half price then I will.

How it impacts the GoT mod would also be useful to know.

I've done my usual thing of toying with this game for a bit, thinking "...no, I do just suck at this", and then going off to play Europa Universalis IV instead.

EU4: the game for CK2 wusses.

Hey, I'm still stuck on Civ 5, EU4 for wusses.

[Bobfoc]

Try playing Total War. It's all of those games for wusses, and with real-time battles.

[FestiveJack]

Yeah but recent Total War games suck giant monkey balls.

Steam reviews mean little, seeing as people on there tend to get abusive or instead they often make joke reviews but for what little its worth most of the popular reviews seem to be thumbs down ones.

[METALMAN]

Apparently Way of Life is a bit overpowered in that pretty much every character in the game has about 30 bastard children.

Yeah, you have a bunch of "focus'" to choose from and they give you a boost in certain skills with different options depending on what you choose. It seems the AI really go mad on the "Seduction" (or whatever focus is actually called) which gives a boost in intrigue and fertility, as well as making it easier to have affairs. Add in concubines and it goes mad. It's not a bad add on for discount but the AI doesn't really know how to work with it.

Then play the old Total War games.

EU4: the game for CK2 wusses.

Basically that's my CK2 experience too.

Me: Right I'm going to learn CK2 and totally nail it this time

*loses quickly half a dozen times*

Me: God I suck. *Fires up EU IV*

*Three months later*

Me: Right I'm going to learn CK2 and totally nail it this time

What kinds of characters are you playing as? I really didn't find it too hard, all I did to start was read TEOL's diary.

[Meacon Keaton]

My suggestion is to play a super boring game just to learn everything. I picked a person that had like one vassal and used that game to just figure out what every button did. I'm definitely no master now, but I at least know what I'm doing enough to have a plan moving forward.

[LittleDaniel]

Yeah, playing as Ireland has always worked for me. I did a couple of those games first and now I feel super adept at the game.

[Mick]

Argh, your breaking my barrs, Ned. But that coor, I pray nice.

And when I'm done you gonna get a rittle surprise, you Winterferr dog.

[Benji]

I tried for like the fourth time to play last night, but I just don't like the UI at all. I can't figure stuff out and am just a dumbass
