Paradox games but definitely NOT GAMES OF THRONE

You can also look forward to all your vassals rebelling at once too because you're not English.

Or Irish.

Or Welsh.

Or Andalusian.

Or Breton.

Nah. I handed off a bunch of kingships because it seemed like the right thing to do, and people love me.

It was the right thing to do. You want to keep the number of direct vassals you have as low as possible without making any one of them too strong. Lots of vassals means lots of people to keep happy!

Feel vaguely in the mood to delve back into either Europa Universalis 3 or Victoria 2, not sure which. I suppose it might depend on what kind of 'mission' I can dream up (short of the usual BRITISH DOMINATION OF THE WORLD type).

Not Hearts of Iron 2 though. For some reason I have no real desire to play a WW2 sim these days. I even own a copy of HoI3 which has never been played.

Well, in case you haven't heard, EU4's just been announced:

If you needed any more motivation to get back into EU3.

It sometimes really sucks coming from a super new country.

[TEOL]

In EU4 you'll get to colonise Australia all over again

Works for me (applies for NHS and English dole)

For those interested, the Game of Thrones mod has been updated, and now includes Balon's rebellion, and the Clash of Kings scenario.

ProTip: Who ever you are, marry Arianne of Dorne.

Are they ever going to unlock pagan?

ergh, okay. so whenever i try to open CK2 now it crashes. on start up it just closes & says there was an error.

any idea why this would happen?

Is that with the GoT mod or the default? Because I vaguely remember that the GoT one wouldn't start up after the game got patched so that could have something to do with it. Otherwise, I dunno :/

[Summers]

even the normal game running with no add ons wont open up.

oh, it opened this time, just the bare game. then it crashed when i clicked on a save game. boooo.

[Ruki]

I played a game a few weeks ago, got to a certain point and then it just crashed

I blamed the mods.

[Clawson]

I picked this up from the Midweek Madness. In 30 years I've gone from a Duke in Ireland to King of Crotia. I guess thats what happens when you marry your heir to a full-on psycho?

[Herr Matzat]

i need to finaly finish the tutorial on this. I just tried to jump in and play, but that dident go so well. >_>

Question time!

Reading TEOL's Crusader Kings II diary thingy in The Cube has got me interested in playing this game. I'm curious as to how long it'll take someone who normally doesn't play strategy games to understand the game to a reasonable level? a.k.a "How long will it take me to understand and master the basic mechanics of the game?"

[Clawson]

The only strategy game I've really played is Civ and I caught on to this pretty quick. Not good enough to win but good enough to give a decent effort at it.

While it's deep, to degrees, it's easy to understand & get into it.

It's also 75% off on steam until Thursday.
