I never beat any of these games. They are so deep.

Re: Crusader Kings 3

I get a lot of paradox games but never really know what I'm doing. I'm more of a rts or turn based strategy fan but I'm sure if I figure one of these out it would be a lot of fun

Re: Crusader Kings 3

Will wait until 3-4 expansions are out that make the game way better and they bundle it all for around the same as base game on release day. That is the Paradox game strategy these days I think. Their past couple releases have not gone well.

Just did this with Hearts of Iron 4.

This is the way to go with their games. Even Cities Skylines has basically followed the same model. In the end, it works, but it does take some patience and money.

Yeah wait a couple years and it will have about 6 or 7 DLCs for it. Hearts of Iron 4 was SOLID at launch though, I was surprised. Stellaris and Surviving Mars was so subpar at launch though. Stellaris now is a totally different game then it was at launch. They completely overhauled it.

Re: Crusader Kings 3

EU4 was really good right away too, but that was 6 years ago. They are releasing a major overhaul of the Holy Roman Empire area early next year for that game. I have over 2000 hours into it. Probably my favorite game of all time.

Re: Crusader Kings 3

CK3 has CK2/CK1 to build off of, whereas Stellaris was built from scratch essentially. Overall, I'd say Paradox has done a decent job recently at making sure their games are quality at lauch (EU4, HOI4). A far cry from the days of HOI3, where the game was a flaming pile of *** out of the box.

Anyways, as much as I love Paradox games, I'm kinda disappointed. I was hoping for this to be about Victoria 3.

Crusader Kings 3

I think they’ll actually go EU5 then Vic 3. They are overhauling the base region of EU4 with their next DLC. They did the same with CK2 a while back. The lead game designer of EU4 is leaving the company now that this DLC is basically in the final stages. Lots of signs pointing to EU5 being next.

I haven’t really gotten into Vic 2 as much. I just feel like so much of it is better played automated, and I’m not a big fan of not knowing why things are happening. I’d definitely give Vic 3 a chance though, and I think EU would benefit from incorporating some of the ideas in Vic such as population and having more than one religion/culture in each province.

I should point out that I haven’t played Vic 2 with the major community mod, which I hear adds a lot.

Re: Crusader Kings 3

So I decided to just get it yesterday and I spent about 5 minutes being totally confused by the new layout. Will try to get into it this weekend maybe. I’m still having fun with 2 though, so who knows

Re: Crusader Kings 3

The fact that they have over 100 mods for this game already is crazy.

Re: Crusader Kings 3

Is it any easier to get started than 2. I got overwhelmed pretty quick and could never get the troop and sea stuff to work even following the tutorial. I mean I’m not the sharpest knife in the drawer but I just couldn’t get anywhere. Love the concept of the game and want to get into it

It’s a Paradox game so no. You learn by failing for the first 100 or so hours while learning a new piece of the game each time. You should also find YouTube videos by people that break down different concepts. It’s always an investment but worth it when it clicks.

Re: Crusader Kings 3

I've been playing this through Xbox Game Pass for PC. I started with the tutorial and I still have very little idea of what's going on. I love the concept of dealing with people rather than nations (like Civilization) and having a court with a cast of characters.

Sure can be frustrating at times. I got a message that one of my regions lacked sheriffs. I have no idea how to get sheriffs. I used the in-game encyclopedia to look up sheriffs and nothing came up.

Don't know if it will have a long term appeal to me because I like games with scores or a definitive story ending (ie. you beat all the bad guys).

I have no idea what happens at the end and I couldn't find anything on the internet that explains it. Is there a score? A Hall of Fame? A look back at all the decisions you made? I realize these are Civilization concepts but that's the strategy game I'm most familiar with. I realize Paradox games are much different and more in-depth.

Still having fun with it.
