Urgh, it's pretty annoying for me - I don't mind about the patch so much, but the moment my shoddy government let Paradox release CK3 here, work picks up. I've been working all day until around midnight a lot, the last few weeks. I think I've played like, 3-4hrs of CK3. :( How is it, you guys? It looked good from my limited experience with a week or so ago, but obviously I haven't even scratched the surface.

It's quite fun. I haven't played since the first 2weeks, but I put 40 hours in until the bugs and balance issues made it impossible for me to play anymore. I wanna enjoy it without thinking about how much I want things patched so if you can get past all that you will have a blast.

Women dont pass down inherited claims anymore which absolutely sucks if you like to press those claims to expand (ie what CK2 was all about). I dont know how any of the devs/testers could have missed that, but I guess this game is just wacky sister-loving genius breeding sim now *sighs loudly and waits for the next patch*

Wow, what a trainwreck! This is both hilarious and kinda depressing - I hope Paradox (eventually) get their act together, again.
I kinda doubt it at this point, though. I think the days of 'The Old Gods'-tier DLC are long since over :(

The Norse flavour pack for ck3 that came out is actually decent but it launched with a bug where Viking raiders of any leader who was a vassal couldn’t be attacked making the game literally unplayable anywhere near raiding cultures. If anyone at paradox played the game for five minutes I have no idea how they missed it.

Has anyone played EU4 since Leviathan?

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.

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.

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.

lol. this. he's doing several hosed up things:

1. playing a game not a broken version of excel with a bad ui.
2. the game he's playing can be had for like 5 dollars instead of paying an initial 60 dollars for the paradox branded version of excel plus an additional 40 dollar tax to johann per month for dlc.
3. not redpilling himself into becoming a serbian nationalist by playing byantium spreadsheet starts

I would wager he never even jokerfied himself by saying "the Wiz is an N Word!" for several years whilst unemployed.

Until map gaming is restored to it's former glory, Civ 4 posts should be allowed. However, Civ 5 and 6 will be met with lethal force.

I don’t really care if people post about civ, but I still miss the days when 1000 35 year old epic fat map gamer purists would tear a dumbass noob to pieces for trying to talk about civ itt.

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.

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.

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
