Literally an invented name

CK > EU

desdiCHADo

I tend to agree. I like EU too but the RPG aspects of CK2 just make it an incredibly unique game.

CK2 ≥ *

>mongol faces dlc

I know EU4 also suffers from some dlc bullshiterry, but that's nowhere as bad as CK2, I mean there are entire FACTIONS and Time periods that are locked it's just awful

Austria/USA
Yes but only vicky

Just pirate that shit, my dude. I'm not a huge advocate of piracy but when companies abuse DLC like that, I don't hesitate. I bought the base games, got the rest from the Bay. As long as the base game is legit, it'll run on Steam no problem.

Jordanian/Palestinian

Yes I'm a big fan of strategy games
I played:
EU4
CK2
Warcraft 3
Age of empires 2 and 3
Command and conquer and zero hour
Red Alert 2 and 3
tiberium wars and Kane's wrath

Reported to the Jews for illegally practicing military strategy.

No, I just play ps1 games.

1. flag
2. yes, I play ck2, hoi3, vicky2 and a bunch of other shit I don't remember, these three are the ones I still boot up from time to time

vicotira 2 got like 2000 hours.

>piracy

That sounds illegal and dangerous

enzed
yis

I'm only going to use my knowledge of warfare against the United States of Americunts

ck2 is basically the only game I play these days along with warband
it's stupid easy to pirate paradox dlc. buy the base game to show them you enjoy their shit, pirate the dlc to enjoy the shit without their jewish practices

Fuckings barbarians , victoria 2 is better plis lords

Only illegal, not dangerous.

>warband
I really wanted to get into this because it seems widely loved by people with great taste, but it wasn't doing it for me. Do you have any newfag pointers? I may just not have known what to do.

there's probably never going to be a Vicky 3 or else it will be watered down to HoI 4 level

do you mean in the single player game?

I haven't even tried Vicky 2 yet tbqh. I have it, because a year or two ago I bought the 4pack with it, CK2, EU4, and HOI3 from a Steam sale, but I haven't fucked with it once.

Yeah. I forgot it even had multi but yes, I was playing single.

yep, if they remove the ability to genocide i'm not playing.

it means disgraced in spanish

I played the shit out of EU4 but now paradox are bigger jews than EA. I refuse to play their over priced shit now.

See

isn't that in a mod anyway?

multi is great, especially Napoleonic DLC's Commander Battles. As for SP I got into it as soon as I started playing, that was back in '08, maybe it's more difficult starting it nowadays as it looks so primitive. You have to RP a bit, game has a pretty big, not exactly learning curve, but a curve in which you'll be beaten and lose everything multiple times. It's always really rewarding to see your army grow and I've had some great later game campaign experiences

just pick a faction and do missions to try and get into their good graces while trading to make money. When you get into the faction, probably as a mercenary at first, be really careful about the behavior of the allied Lords if you're on campaign, they can change their minds and abandon you at the drop of a hat for a party

Burger nation of course.

I started with CK2, then eu4, then vic2, but now I only play hoi3. Can't believe how much money I shelled out on dlcs for ck2 and eu4, just fucking ridiculous.

I won't play their games out of principal. I pirate plenty of shit but their pricing policies are so fucking Jewish they've just straight up ruined it for me.

yes, but the base game allows it, though its population system.

PDX is really going down the shitter. Not only are they overpricing their DLCs, the DLCs they come out with these days are complete shit. Their games too. Hoi4, stellaris, just absolute trash. Can't wait until they butcher vic3

what do you mean? through the housing ban or whatever? or through pop growth and assimilation?

where do I start with these games?

RTSs are dead.

Stellaris was released half finished. The early game is amazing but the mid to late is one giant grind with nothing to do.

I bought a good deal of their CK2 DLC's now I just pirate the rest of the stuff because I think they owe to me for the next few generations of their games

Yes, i still play BFME and C&C to this day

I bought all that shit back when I was a huge PDX fanboy. Now they couldn't pay me to get their dlcs. I think they're so dumb. Last one I got was conclave I think and I was really letdown.


Can I be honest though. What do you enjoy about ck2? The entire game you just sit there and wait to fabricate claims and maybe in the meantime do some medieval intrigue shit, but who even cares? Best game is farts of iron 3.

every human in vic2 has a assigned culture.
it's fun to play around, making only undesirable cultures die and emmigrate.

in the hypothetical vic3 they would probably change the system to a boring genocide, like eu4, where you only click a bottom and the culture magically changes.

BFME II has some of the best multiplayer mods I've seen for an RTS. Like those gamemods that turn it in an RPG

that game right there gave me a boner for horde/cheap unit spam armies

>making only undesirable cultures die and emmigrate

how do you do that?

that would be gay as fuck
I enjoy how difficult it is to do in Vicky outside of being socialist, which seems to make your assimilation rate insane

As Germany I can never quite get rid of the Polish

make subhuman armies and send them on suicide missions.

Close factories in subhuman regions and force the workers to emigrate and assimilate.
Or only open factories in subhuman regions and force superhuman to fill their regions.

And ofcourse the magical genocide buttom in hpm.

Yes,Vicky 2 is the best game

>I enjoy how difficult it is to do in Vicky outside of being socialist, which seems to make your assimilation rate insane

I think the vanilla assimilation rate is insane anyway
>mfw my Afrikaner Republic went from like ~15% Afrikaner to 40% Afrikaner in a handful of decades even without socialism

This was also with limited immigration, to clarify

American

Anything Paradox has made since CK2 is garbage and even CK2 has been marginally ruined by their DLC policy.

Kaiserreich is GOAT mod.

Victoria 3 and CK3 are doomed.

I played Transvaal with socialism, I was trying to become fascist but the population wanted socialism. Even after annexing Oranje, Natal, and colonizing Zimbabwe, Angola, and Namibia my pop was 90% Afrikaner by 1900

the white immigrants were becoming Afrikaner the day after they showed up just about

No but sometimes I load up Microsoft Paint.

4X is an infinitely superior genre for brainlords who can actually deal with randomized maps and exploration.

It was the natives being converted in mine mostly

>Victoria 3
Never gonna happen

aren't the pops set up so that black african populations almost never assimilate?

Plays your own country. Nordic countries are fun as fuck in CK2 (before Christianity that is) because of the raiding and the invasion mechanics

I hope you Vicky 2 guys play with the HPM mod

Yes, yesterday i got bored and i started to make a mini-mod that makes Australia as province-dense as Germany.

Are you me?

videogamesvideogamesvideogamesvideogamesvideogamesvideogames

vicky?

I was doing that with the US, made more pop types and was working on "Anabaptist" and "Quaker" types that couldn't transfer to soldier or officer, Pennsylvania Dutch culture, some other things. It's back at the PC at my parent's house though. Was pretty fun

Flag.
I only have EU4 but I really do like it though I am nowhere near being pro.
My problem is that I cant stick with one plan during the whole game so my games tend to become a mess, like trying to conquer Africa as Tunisia but then I decide I want to conquer whole Genoas trade node but then at one I got distracted and decided to bully S-American colonial nations etc.

Someone post GroBGermaniums

EU4 actually, i'm not big into vicky 2 but i've tweaked some files to increase the immigration rate and population growth.

I'm making it because AI discovers and colonizes Australia much sooner than IRL. I've seen the portuguese taking over half the continent by the early 1600's. Plus i've removed the extra colonist idea from Ternate and other indonesian sultanates because 99% time they end up colonizing the entire pacific (I've see them colonizing california and alaska too)

Wow that is inventive. I've been playing vic 2 for a long time and I never thought of doing that lmao.

Victoria II is pretty much the only video game I play anymore. I used to play CK2 a lot, though.

Every now and then I load up this game and paint a few provinces, then just stare and do nothing. This has been going on for far too long.

Yes

>HoI4
>CK2
>EU4
>Vicky 2

One of my favorite CK2 games, I started as chieftain of Karelia, united all of Finland and Estonia, and conquered most of Sweden and Livonia. Had a lot of back and forth with Norway but they were strong in that game. Never conquered any meaningful part of theirs.

Yes
>Cossacks
>Age of Empires
>Imperium
>American Conquest
I loved American Conquest, the music and theme was comfy as fuck and I spent hours in it as a kid and nowadays.
youtube.com/watch?v=--PA_2SI2YM
Its pretty sad how underrated it is, as well as Cossacks 1 and 3.

I haven't played any of those. What are they like?

Here is a tip
Try to conquer Tours
Try to capture mecca and medina aka hejaz and sinai

That's an impressive Großandalusia my man.

>Age of Empires
This isn't a gsg.

>Pic
A bugged game, went from Beneventum to form rome. Since it bugged, I can't make the decision.

>Mongolia
?

yeah, thats because the mongol horde got destroyed and split

>actually playing paradox garbage

I thought Finns were supposed to be autistic. What kind of normie are you who doesn't play Paradox games?

>not playing truly autistic games like aurora

I always love to play as rebel, anarchist rather than being a king to be honest in ck2
When i was playing as Hungary Italy somehow managed to annex my kingdom via marriage but i declared war on Italy and chimped out, war lasted 10 years and i won, was pretty fun

That sounds pretty fun tbqhwy.

Bump

Love CK 2 to death
Dislike EU 4
Don't care for Sengoku's setting
Victoria 2 hasn't quite clicked for me yet
Never touched HOI

Sweden
Yes

I like ck2 and Vicky 2.

Stellaris isn't really grand strategy though.

Only liked HoI3 out of all Paradox games.

Russia
Yes
EU4 allows me to pretend like Europe is still the centre of the planet.

Kek but you're in Russia

I consider Russia a European country.

>Europe is still the centre of the planet
It is though.

I also like playing Russia. Especially when I crush the muscovites and form it as Perm.

1. Clapistan
2. Yes, EUIV, gonna get Vicky II soon

>Perm
Who were/are these people? I know Perm from the game but I don't know anything about it.

No CK2 nigga?

1) flag
2) i dont play games

It was a finno-ugric state of Komi-Permyaks on the western urals. It later integrated into the russian principalities etc. etc.

Great Perm was a principality during the late middle ages. It was eventually vassalized and then conquered by Muscovy.

Not in my game, it wasn't.

No. It just doesn't seem like something I'd like, with that time period and all.
