ck2's tutorial sucks. hoi3's tutorial however is narrated by hitler, so it is good. eu3's tutorial was never updated for any expansion pack and just crashed when you ran it.

Parallax Scroll posted:I like CK2 but never played a Total War game. Is one of them particularly good? rome is antiquated, rome 2 is a buggy pile of poo poo. medieval and shogun are the best. empire and napoleon suck because the combat model falls apart when you introduce too many firearms. it works with shogun because soldiers with rifles are incredibly expensive so there are very few of them unless you're the superior Shimazu who start with gun soldiers

Awesome! posted:is medieval 2 not good? I grabbed it a few weeks ago for a buck but haven't tried it yet yes, medieval 2 is excellent. like all strategy games it was broken on release and fixed later on and there's probably a fan patch

shogun 2's tactical battles are the best especially the fort defenses when you get guys with firearms and cannons

Parallax Scroll posted:most interesting ck2 game i've played was when the HRE conquered me and then i spent like 200 years building power as a vassal till i could take the empire over in the old patch i had a game where i made a norse pagan empire spanning britain, scandinavia, northern russia, brittany, normandy, north germany, and poland by 1000 from an old gods start. the byzantines flipped to catholic at some point and the muslims conquered france so i played as the only orthodox ruler left in the world and ended up a moderately powerful orthodox duke after inciting a bunch of revolts with my awesome count so I could watch the AI break it up. then the patch hit so welp

Parallax Scroll posted:oh, you switched over to that count? i always forget that you can do that and just play as one dynasty. yeah the game was getting boring easymode and it was only 1000. i had a 120k army to call up and i had converted it almost entirely to norse germanic so i never had revolts. i also bred a godlike ruler with an incompetent heir so it would just explode. i switched to the count when i saw he was like 15/15/15/15/15 with a 10/15/10/10/10 heir and was one of the only orthodox rulers anywhere.

Knuc U Kinte posted:Anyway I started a game as Charlemagne and took all the Canon decisions until Karloman died and then I was over my vassal limit and couldn't be bothered sorting it out so I turned it off. I was really confused by vassal limit until I figured out it was direct vassals and not realm size and half the duchies that make up the empire haven't been created in 770

tribal ally AI is real dumb. they're all the same rank so they can't link up and just send in their 350-dude regiments one at a time against a 1500 stack.

how do I get the ability to form Hungary from Magyar in Charlemagne anyway you don't actually start in historical hungary since you've got a couple hundred years of migratin' to do
|
# ¿ Oct 18, 2014 04:44 |

oh okay it simulates the hungarian migration by just auto-granting independence to everything east of the carpathians when you form it by decision

Knuc U Kinte posted:Big realm, I like Midas touch. Small Realm that's going to be punching its way out of trouble, then Brilliant Strategist is best. byzantium is so filthy rich you don't really need good stewardship unless you need to consolidate for a reign. i try to breed as many of my kings into brilliant strategists as i can. my magyar game i had a king that ended up with 28 martial, Winter Warrior, and Light Infantry Expert and i was beating lithuanian armies nearly twice my size defensively
