I wish that 70% of the TNO mod team wasn't made up of 17-year-olds but you can't have everything I guess

They need to chill with the events too, Guangdong felt like reading a book even though I liked the weapon and product development and economic growth gameplay

Spending entire days in my underwear without showering, playing ck2 and eu4 for 12 hours daily, unemployed, missing thesis deadlines, contributing to LPs, the only thing keeping my severely bloodshot eyes open is East vs West, the official Paradox Cold War simulator. Martin Anword hadn’t gotten his filthy fuckwit fingers all over anything yet. That was the happiest I’d ever been.

Yeah, early EU4 was absolutely fantastic! Then out came estates, then some other tedious nonsense, then EU4 forever dropped off my radar. :( Which is a real shame, because it was honestly excellent. Building up as an independent Malayan naval and commerce power was always great fun! As was uniting Somalia to become the biggest source of piracy in the world.

Yeah, same. Seemed like a real missed opportunity

I stopped playing eu4 right before estates were introduced and I still have 600 hours in it. Crazy how much I played that game in only like a year.

ive only played eu4 seriously for about two weeks and estates aren't that bad. i had a friend walk me through and tell me what everything was and if i needed to pay attention to it. estates was 'just pick these options then forget it exists' mechanics. click 'siege crown land' constantly if you remember

they're okay as a mechanic they just don't add much of value and they're yet another thing to keep track of. a lot of the DLC adds mechanics like that and it all piles up and becomes boring to deal with

yeah there's definitively mechanics creep. i like ck2 more due to it, since most mechanics actually feel like they have a place and add something

Just give them the real good rear end privileges like the nobility one that gives like +1 army tradition every year, the ones that give more colonists/assimilation and do other buffs at the very start of the game and seize land every once in a while

Have they added anything interesting to CK3 yet? The stuff with Spain seemed kinda neat but I never bought it.

nothing really that makes it worthwhile compared to ck2 imo. i really want to get into stellaris again but i played it like 5 years ago and it's a totally new game now which confuses the hell out of me
