No, just the first production run, which was huge and there are definitely still copies floating around. In fact, I think the Canadian bilingual packaging never got a production run without codes, based on what I see on shelves here.

I made a Doom D&D campaign once. Made the enemies from scratch and everything. My group loved it. I want to run it again actually.

i really like ck 2 i need to focus on learning to play it

i keep going into the learner scenario and ducking out halfway through and i guess quick save / auto save doesn't do it when you are in the learning scenario so i always have to start over

i'm really good at telling my ruler he wants to get married

It makes the little banners in the interface historically accurate and prettier, which is extremely important.

I refer to the turn-based mobile phone game of the mid 2000s, in which a dog can be used as a melee weapon. I had a pretty epic time playing that one.

It's kind of out-of-date but: http://lparchive.org/Crusader-Kings-2/

It doesn't include changes made by DLC or any of the new mechanics, but it's a really solid introduction to the core concepts. Give it a whirl and you'll be banging relatives and dropping cows into Hell in no time.

Regardless of what DLCs you use starting in Ireland and trying to unify the kingdom is a good way to start.

I like tribal Poland 867 as Piast, you start off by forming Poland and then expand into the East while keeping the Magyars happy and raiding the feudal pagans in Pomerania to finance your feudal reformation.

What do people here think of Heroes of the Storm as it stands right now?

Background, I really enjoyed League and probably still would if I didn't have a goddamn anxiety crisis every time I tried to play Summoner's Rift, mostly due to the caustic nature of the community, and buying the wrong item/wrong skill/etc (and me being a bit hosed in the head). Smite alleviates that somewhat with auto-buys/auto-levels but I've never been sure that the auto choices were very good so it still makes me worried

An item-free MOBA sounds good to me :shobon:

I used to hop into LoL pretty regularly but now I only play HOTS. It's pretty much the perfect solution to all of the problems I have with MOBAs, the only downside (as people will tell you endlessly) is that gold comes a bit slowly and it's not free to use every single hero like it is in Dota. It ultimately doesn't matter as you can get a decent selection of heroes pretty quickly and the free hero rotation gives you the chance to try out every hero within a few weeks. Also, if you really need more heroes you can spend a bit of cash on the game, which is apparently a very controversial opinion.

yeh you know, i also had a problem where the team with the better players would win most of the time, because they had a large xp and gold advantage from getting enough early kills and farm due to my poor play to make it count in endgame. and i'm glad hots removes that.

How is the HotS community? I really enjoyed Dota 2 on a strictly gameplay level but I've never seen a community that toxic in a multiplayer videogame before, and I have fairly thick skin. None of my friends play MOBAs otherwise I would just play with them. I played it for quite a while until I started noticing I got increasingly irritated over a dumb videogame I play for my supposed enjoyment.
