I haven’t played since res publica tbh. I heard art of war was good but I just kind of lost the itch to play because the expansions and patches were crap until then. Still own most of the dlc though. Just in case.

The crappy broken patches turned me off ck3 too. I understand that some bugs just are hard to find but that first flavour pack had a bug that made most raiding armies non hostile in a dlc about raiding. Like they didn’t even play one game in the office.

Yep, that's the state of Paradox right now.

e: It became evident with the Emperor release when every nation would instantly get a revolt because they'd seize land from estates and the estates were starting at 45 loyalty before they patched it to be 50.

It's pretty weird hearing the stories that come out of the office like "We need to make sure Victoria 3 uses the same codebase as Victoria 2" "uhhh that's insane" and thinking to yourself "no one has tried competing with these guys yet???"

It's forbidden to call Civ a map game here. However, I will always push Fall From Heaven 2 for Civ 4 as the best fantasy strategy game out there.

yeah it's really reignited my love of eu4 after being unable to buy dlc for years and the game getting progressively worse.

my favorite guys i've played so far are the winelords (mission tree to just conquer lots of grape provinces)

I recommend Anbennar for EU4, a fantasy mod that BTFOs vanilla like kaiserreich does for Hoi4.

I’ve been playing insane amounts of ck3 again. I basically stopped because Northern Lords was so goddamn buggy on release (can’t attack raiders who are vassals rofl)

I think the best thing about the huge delay between dlc releases has been that the game is actually patched and stable for longer. I already have the ex pass so I’ll get royal court on release but after that I’m gonna wait every time.

has anyone played through a multiplayer grand campaign and avoided the pitfalls of veryone having 10k planes at the start of hoi4 and having the majority of the game take place in northern idaho where we managed to push one province after 2 mil dead soldiers thanks in advance.

been playing EU4 again after not touching it for 6 years and I don't have like 80% of the expansions. Formed Siam and been trying to reach Australia before the British do to maybe save the poor island from that terrible fate,

It’s alright, some of the latest changes to things like Native American tribes are actually really good, but at this point it’s really straining under the weight of years of DLC that add pointless features to justify a price tag.

That was when they added a ton of map provinces outside of Europe and qol stuff like the army builder, but before they added nonsense like sailors

Modding is pretty great, not so much for the game itself. Third Odyssey is getting updated soon which I am excited to even though they still haven't made any new exile nations other than Spartania, Elysia and Vinland.

They had a big 2.0 update about a year ago but I haven't tried it. Recent steam reviews are "mostly positive" while lifetime are "mixed," maybe I'll check it out soon.

I hate to be That Guy, but the Paradox DLC model blows chunks. It is literally impossible to play a dLC on release without there being some huge, often game breaking bug that fucks with your poo poo waaay too much. There is maybe a short window 2 months after a dLC where you can play it relatively bug free before a new DLC comes out and fucks the rear end of the game all over again. even if you remember that the broken DLC that came out a few months ago might be patched, you can never ever get on the hype train with your map gamining bros ever again.

Hey, you're finally awake.

That fall looked really bad. Tired of playtesting Paradox's poo poo? $30 expansions that suck rear end? Let's go post in the stickied Map Gaming Thread. There was a new EUIV dev diary and Ragg sniped the page with a Mind if I Roll Weed video.
