Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

yeah, I plan to try and use the Slavic pagan's +80% defensive ability for all unit types and the fact that enemies of other faiths suffer from massive attrition to my advantage. Probably the single reason I'll stick with Slavic over converting to Orthodox like historically.

as for Pagan religions in EUIV when converting, if you reform, you will be that religion in EUIV(reformed Norse will be Norse, Reformed Slavic/Slavic, etc...). If they are not reformed, you'll be either Animist or Shamanist.

The way the converter works is it takes a save from CKII(doesn't matter what date you export either) and make it into files that EUIV reads like a mod. If a nation in CKII has a nation tag in EUIV, then it'll use that tag(and it'll carry over your current ruler's name and heir's name). If the nation does not exist in EUIV, it'll create a tag for it with the name, coat of arms, ruler and heir, country color, and probably other things.

my current Russia game, Hungary already reformed Tengri religion and I just reformed Slavic(which I now regret as I think that gets rid of the attrition penalty that enemies get when in slavic lands). so those 2 should end up in EUIV. Sweden's ruler converted to Catholic, so if that remains, then Scandinavia could end up being Catholic for EUIV(Sweden almost has enough to form the Scandinavian Empire). most of England/Scotland is still Norse though and Poland has been my main ally as they are also Slavic and we're allies through marriage(their ruler is also Russian, lol). Hungary exploded up again though, I guess they are still overpowered though I have them split in half at least.

Wow that converter information was...informative. Good stuff to know. I may start a new game and make a pagan Irish Empire for EU4 now.

I have yet to see Britannia freed from the Norse pagans but if they keep picking on me they will be soon.

Well at least you can keep your empire together now that your reformed and not worry about gavelkind. Since you know the mongols are coming you can prepare as it seems you still have a hundred years or so.

definitely time to prepare, going to be putting quite some gold in the eastern provinces and strengthening the fort levels over there so it'll take longer for them to siege the castles and kill off some of their doom-stacks. the plan is to try and kill off their armies with attrition and try to get in defensive battles. I got most of the De Jure Russia now, just need to convert all the lands to Slavic to stabilize the empire as it's a mess right now.

Metro is $34 and not even part of Humble Bundle...

Riptide is $19.99

I can pay $24 on the Humble Bundle and get everything on that page with all DLC, Soundtracks and Riptide....

Some of the games I already have...I can sell the steam codes for $5 bucks to $10 bucks each and make all my money back and still profit...

You only get three keys if you pay $25. One for the first group of games, one for SR: Full Package / Dead Island, and one for Riptide.

Last time I did it, I got individual keys per title....not a bundle key...

I don't see why they would change that now, when it's those crappy RPG arcade type games they might.

But when it's individual actual full platform games it's different keys. I did it for the Darksiders Bundle, The last THQ Bundle, and 2 others. It was individual keys per game.

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

My PayDay 2 beta stopped working, won't even boot.

Now my CPU won't start up. It boots up at like 41C and then temperature starts going up and it auto shuts down within 5 minutes. I am going to get some compressed air today and see if that helps, if not then I am going to buy a new CPU fan for it and hope for the best. This has gotten to be very frustrating, I have never had heat problems with my PC before.

Not this one. Already bought it, can confirm it's 2 keys as the other guy said.

...Yes,that's the point.
They're not in the default bundle so people still may want to buy them on sale.

Every bundle is different. Yes, the THQ bundle was separated. The Telltale bundle was only two keys: one key for 8 games (Puzzle Agent, Poker Night at the Inventory, etc.) and one key for The Walking Dead.

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

Anyone know much about Defender's Quest or Triple Town? I have expiring coupons for each game and was wondering if they are worth anything. I can get the games for $5 each. But I want to know, are they worth it?
