I'm about as hardcore fan of the Paradox grand strategy games as you'd care to meet and for me it comes down to two things: my insatiable interest in history and a rather incurable information...
I recently started playing again after being totally thrown of my game by the 1.29 changes. All in all it's a very impressive game for a F2P albeit a bit frustrating if you're stuck grinding an empty...
Most of my gaming hours were spent well before I started using Steam. The main culprits there would have been in no particular order EU2, Victoria, Civ2 & 4, a host of CM/FM games and of course...
From mod makers' own description:
"The purpose of CK2+ is to create a broader, deeper, more challenging and more balanced CK2 experience, without straying too far from the original game mechanics...
Us Europeans should probably set up a game of our own. I'd be up for CK2 on most nights, I'm EEST(UTC+3) but UK schedule would work just fine. I'd prefer CK2+ but vanilla is doable as well.
The early Russian awakening happened in my last game as the af Stenkyrkas of Gotland. However the early rise didn't help them one bit against the Mongol hordes and Russia was thoroughly disassembled....
I'll give you a few options, depending on what you're aiming to do:
Gather good loot with minimal risk: Head inland and loot dear stands. That or team up with people who are willing to fast track...
I'd be interested in getting together with a player or two for a raid run near NW airfield and/or surrounding towns. I left my char near Stary Sobor so anyone traversing the mid-map give me a shout...
Nope, I've never fired on survivors and was never killed by one. Always fired on bandits when I felt I had a decent shot at them. Subjective experiences and what not, maybe I was lucky. I had fun...
So it's going to be shoot players on sight from now on. I understand that the bandit skin switch was artificial as hell but good player behavior (as has been mentioned earlier) should at the very...
Thanks for the link, the well documented dear stands just netted me an AK-74 with Kobra optics.
It was working for me when I tried the game out. I encountered a couple of survivors in the woods and was able to remain undetected. Eavesdropping on them on the direct comm channel was one of the...
I was playing as a count when the tragedy struck so there's the difference. Might have been that I accidentally accepted a matrilineal marriage proposal. Seems that the AI does use the "Would prefer...
Matrilineal marriages are a dangerous game. Just had to assassinate my way out of trouble when the expected line of inheritance was abruptly changed (2 heirs bit the typhusy dust) so that my only...
Yep, the Paradox forums are lamenting the lack of challenge as well. Though the patch on Friday made some changes to make things more expensive etc. I would expect future patches to follow suit. And...
I'd say it is. The learning curve will test your patience a bit, but the game gets better quickly as you learn the ropes. The complexity in this game is not as daunting as the hardcore Paradox games....
First game finished with the full game and the Nakonid dynasty ended up petering out after all the male heirs died. I have to say one of the most immediate concerns for me was the overpowered pagan...
Fresh from a tour of BF3 I have no choice but to agree. What happened, why did quasi-realism suddenly become more important than good, fun gameplay.
I don't know how you've managed to keep your interest for that long. I greatly enjoyed my 40 or so hours of freeform adventuring but as soon as I started the main questline, I felt I had somehow...
Picked this up a couple of days ago and despite the DRM bs there is a really solid game underneath. It's the tried and true HoMM formula and I have to say that at least the Orc campaign on Hard...
It's difficult at first, but once you get used to the map and the graphics, it gets a lot easier. I had to tone down the aggressiveness of my own gameplay at first, but having now played a fair bit...
Nice, but are those civilian helos? Surely there's an AH silhouette somewhere :).
Application sent, hopefully they'll bring back a big map before the end of the beta.
DICE really should be ashamed because the password check is as flimsy as they get and can be basically circumvented with some rudimentary JavaScript. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYEMKikyKA4....
