[QUOTE=yawmwen;39541477]if you want pure ease then ck2 is way easier imo.
[editline]10th February 2013[/editline]
it's actually really hard to "fail" in ck2. the worst that generally happens is you getting knocked down a few ranks.[/QUOTE]
CK2 is easiest to control but the depth underneath the controls, and the resulting time it takes to have a true understanding of the game is quite a bit more than EU3. Easy to learn, hard to master applies with most paradox games, but more so CK2 than EU3, IMO.
OK LAST POST IN THIS THREAD FOR A DAY
I've been on fp too much
Well I certainly find it easier to succeed in EU3 than CK2, it's a pretty simple game once you understand it and I think you will find it quicker to learn EU3 and how to best achieve something in it than you would in CK2.
So just bought Hearts of Iron 3. Any essential mods or information I need to know? I know Paradox games are apparently hard to get into.

also get the official strategy guide(it's free with the game) and read it.
[QUOTE=Thom12255;39541443]EU3 is probably the easiest.[/QUOTE]Only if we exclude CK2 as an candidate, because it's more about manging family than traditionally running a country like the others.

Just the base game and thanks everyone
is the dlc worth it?
[QUOTE=Sottalytober;39542216]Just the base game and thanks everyone

get the expansions. the dlc is optional.

Alright - got For the motherland, Finest hour, and Semper Fi. Looks like it'll be a lot of fun

Be careful, however. Combat outcomes in Hearts of Iron are determined in a radically different and colorful set of modifiers than they are in any other Paradox game.
A Victoria 2 aggressor with a million man army in one province can conquer the world. A Hearts of Iron aggressor with a million man army in one province will lose every battle in it.
I don't think Their Finest Hour is really needed.
[QUOTE=Thom12255;39542518]I don't think Their Finest Hour is really needed.[/QUOTE]
New unique elite units for each major nation's army - Ghurkhas, Rangers, Imperial guards etc.
Deeper naval invasions system with the possibility of developing specialized landing and assault crafts to improve effectiveness.
More detailed control over strategic warfare and a generalized lend-lease system for lending your industrial might to allies.
Leaders are now able to gain traits and allocating them is more important than ever with a new combat tactics system.
A new custom game mode for single and multiplayer where you start with a clean slate and can instantly produce units, research technologies and affect political alignment, speeding up the early years for those who would like to jump straight into the action.
Two new detailed battle scenarios, the Finish Winter War and the Spanish Civil War
eh it doesn't seem [i]incredibly[/i] important but it's still worthwhile for invasions and lend lease systems.

tfh seems like the weakest expansion to me so far.

I've never played a paradox game before so it's all new to me anyway; should work out fine ;)

IMO it has better content updates and additions than FTM and SF. They should release a proper collection for lower price, tho. As it is, HoI3 is pretty unattractive to those that aren't willing to give a few more buck for their bangs.
Come to think of it, now that people are finally getting up to date with all the DLC, would it be plausible for FP to set up a multiplayer session or two? I'd totally dig a Victoria 2 or HoI3 multiplayer game.

We have a Facepunch GSG group that's never been used since it's birth but yeah

i joined the group...
I think I'll go with Vicky2. Should I buy the expansion pack?
if you have the money then yea
Does anyone know how to actually play multiplayer on Paradox games? Hamachi won't download.

Sorry if I'm threadspamming, but just one more before I go to bed.
WW2 never occured in this 1914 AAR Darkest Hour mod. It's basically Japan vs France & Britain.
Not even a Paternal Autocrat Japan, they're basically Hitler Japan. (In retrospect that previous statement was tremendously stupid.)[/QUOTE]
Is that Austria-yugoslavia?
It's heartwarming to see all of Facepunch's armchair generals all together in one thread.
Those Total War guys can go suck it, they're too busy pushing a few armies around while I'm conquering Asia.

[QUOTE=Uncle Phil;39543046]I think I'll go with Vicky2. Should I buy the expansion pack?[/QUOTE]
IIRC A House Divided optimised a few things, and actually made Laissez Faire somewhat more viable. I don't know victoria 2 as well though so I think someone else would be able to give you more of a rundown of what's different.

Yeah. When was the last time you saw spearmen defeat a helicopter in a total war game?
last tuesday actually

I have a question I need answered quickly, if I grant someone a fief, will they be my vassal or will it, like, split my realm up?
[QUOTE=cis.joshb;39545632]I have a question I need answered quickly, if I grant someone a fief, will they be my vassal or will it, like, split my realm up?[/QUOTE]
if the fief is the same rank as yours(king giving kingdom) the realm will split. if it's a lower rank(king granting duchy) then they will become your vassal.
