I know I should probably stop being amazed at people on the internet being complete assholes but I am still  at people rabidly complaining that the free copies of CK2 Paradox is giving out with EU4 preorders don't include all the DLC. On the other hand these are the same people who preorder games and then get outraged when it goes on sale a few months later so I suppose at least they're consistent with their complaints.

I'd honestly understand if this was a case like the recent Brave New World debacle where they gave copies of vanilla Civ IV to people who had preordered it, but CK2 is a fantastic game without any DLC. If this was Vicky 2, HoI3 or even EU3 without their expansions, they might have had a point. Really, if you're playing an european leader, as I'm sure most people are, you only really need Legacy of Rome, because retinues are very powerful. Other than that, it's just optional content by anyone's definition.

Didn't really like EU3, decided to preorder as the UI in this looks like it will be much better. Anyone need a copy of CK?

Yeah it's probably the same folk who constantly moan about the new method new content is distributed. What they will fail to realize is that this game even minus all it's DLCs is 100% compatible with new patches and you can buy any DLC you want, there is no order of things. Also, IT'S FREE!

I pre-ordered my EU4 copy from Greenmangaming. How does that work? When do I get the Steam key and the pre-order bonuses?

GMG normally releases the keys on the day of release but it's not as fast as buying directly from steam. You might not get your key until noon on the day of, so don't expect a key for a midnight release.

Oh dear. I preordered EU4 from Gamersgate and everything went fine until payment. I paid and got the message "problems with payment server". The order's page reads now "payment failed" and order is "pending". However the money has already been billed from my account. I paid via Moneybookers. I already sent a mail to GG. I hope the issue gets solved and I get the game before it's released. I want to get the converter.

It's probably not going to make much difference in this case, as EU4 doesn't seem like the sort of game to get a midnight release. At least going by previous Paradox titles on Steam, it'll probably hit sometime midday in the US.

Patter Song posted:Watch Quill's videos, he dwells on the loading screens long enough that you can tell what's changed with the 1444 scenario. Mapwise, the biggest change between 1399 and 1444 is the collapse of the Golden Horde into several smaller hordes. And the die back of the Timurids, which gives the Ottomans a lot more breathing room at the start.

I love them all, even the Mediterranean pack. Also, did they say they were going to announce the next CK2 DLC this month? I could have sworn I heard that, and that it wasn't the CK2-EU4 converter, but I can't find where I read that.

RabidWeasel posted:I know I should probably stop being amazed at people on the internet being complete assholes but I am still People are just loving loonies sometimes who will find reasons to complain about everything. I mean, I amused myself seeing that Deus Ex Human Revolution was on sale for 3$ during the Steam Summer sale when just under two years ago I forked out over 50$ to pre-order it, but I wasn't complaining because I liked that game quite alot. I thought the point of pre-ordering games was to get something you really want as soon as possible, not to worry about haggling about prices and bonus crap. It's pretty much common knowledge (or should be) that full price games will be much cheaper a few months after release, so unless these people are completely stupid they must like complaining for fun. pdxjohan posted:If there is natives still around when the colony becomes a city, basetax and mp is increased scaled by nativesize. And this is why I always tried pretty hard not to kill natives off. I only do so when I have no choice, such as when they are crazy-aggressive and go run off to burn my colonies every 5 minutes.

Wait, we are getting CK2 free with our EU4 preorders?  How could I not know this and still dump £40 on EU4! I guess I can finally gift my sister it and encourage her to break away from her civ 5 addiction.

Seriously, we have an actual Nazi on the forums, and he still seems less crazy than some of the bad apples on the Paradox forum. At least Emden eases you into the crazy, instead of just starting off with "Well, the [insert people] are scum anyway, and murdered everyone of my grandparents before they even had a chance to have kids!" No. On my forum i can ban anyone at will

In CK1 how usual is it to have one dynasty owning like, 2/5ths to 1/2 of Europe? Playing at Hauteville from Apulia, I've married my guys off everywhere and have started to notice a Hautville sits atop France, Scotland, Egypt, Sicily/Italy/Africa/Beni Halal, a few counties and duchies in the HRE, Croatia and Serbia. Bit..uh weird right?

Bit..uh weird right? Why would it be weird for the genetically superior d'Hautevilles to rule all of Europe? It's really just a fluke that they didn't in real life, frankly. For further analysis of the inherent superiority of the d'Hauteville bloodline, feel free to read my ongoing series on the subject here.

A reminder that the guy in Viscardus' avatar is Robert Guiscard d'Hauteville and that Viscardus is the Latin spelling of Guiscard, so it's probably fair to say that he's a fan of Norman Sicily.

I don't think that's sufficient evidence to conclude a bias, to be honest I feel that Viscardus is just trying to further educate us on the clearly superior society of the Norman Sicilians. On another note, some dudes on the Paradox forums are really pissed that people are confused over the Converter thing.
