[QUOTE=dArKnEsS_2;36802940]I was thinking about getting either Victoria II or EU III. I already have Hearts of Iron III and CK2. Which one would you recommend for someone who likes to put the harder aspects of the game on AI control and then attempt world conquest?[/QUOTE]
For world conquest, I would strongly suggest EU3. World conquest as anybody in Victoria 2 is effectively impossible due to the aspects it focuses on.
Vicky 2 does have the advantage of dabbling in economic and political matters to a larger degree than EU3 goes into.
It's possible to conquer the world in Victoria 2, just play the British, forget about infamy and prestige.

I tried that and I suffered from rebels up the ass.
Okay, I was thinking EU3 as well. Should I just buy it now or wait to see if it goes on sale? I don't think it will.

Well, if your playing as a strong power like England, France, Castille, or maybe Austria/Bohemia (The usual Emperors 90% of the time) then conquest comes easy.
But I have a habit of playing as small nations to try and unite Germany, namely Brandenburg. They cannot declare war on the nation's they need to (due to them also being in the HRE) because of unlawful imperial territory bullshit that takes years to go away. Then, once you are Emperor, you have to guard all the little nations and be the Popes fucking Errand Boy (even though that's the Defender of the Faiths job, but they hardly do it)
Also, does anybody have an answer to my merchant problem?
[QUOTE=Sobotnik;36803783]I tried that and I suffered from rebels up the ass.[/QUOTE]
It actually is a good idea to regress in political freedoms, then progress when rebels become a problem, this way you can calm them easily.

I bought it on sale on Steam a couple of summers ago. It should go back up again.
[QUOTE=dArKnEsS_2;36803929]Okay, I was thinking EU3 as well. Should I just buy it now or wait to see if it goes on sale? I don't think it will.[/QUOTE]
it's already on sale
Oh boy, I can't wait for all the people complaining about how their game looks weird because they bought complete rather than chronicles.
[QUOTE=Bert the Turtle;36804996]it's already on sale[/QUOTE]
Yeah, but it won't be a daily deal or flash deal right?
Edit: Yeah, it just went on flash sale. Sweet!
Who was the moron that decided the screenshots to show for EU3? Half of them are from some sort of alpha version of the game.

Now that you mention it, they do all look really weird.
never really noticed that before.

That's interesting. I bought the complete package and I have all of the expansions. Did they decide to only leave IN and NA in it or something?

Even if you don't wind up playing as the coutnries outlined in the guides, they're full of excellent info that really helped me get started.
I bought Chronicles and all the DLC's are playable, but the store tells me I bought Complete.
What the fuck?
is it possible to give birth to the USSR/SSSR in Vicky II?
[QUOTE=Ownederd;36812850]is it possible to give birth to the USSR/SSSR in Vicky II?[/QUOTE]
You become USSR if you're playing as Russia and your government becomes communist.
[QUOTE=BananaFoam;36811847]I bought Chronicles and all the DLC's are playable, but the store tells me I bought Complete.

It shows up as Complete in your library but it has all the DLC under "Downloadable Content".

You might want to play with the noneutrality cheat. Look it up :wink:
[QUOTE=Scientist2;36814339]You might want to play with the noneutrality cheat. Look it up :wink:[/QUOTE]
noneutrality is hearts of iron series
and honestly the best way to get used to paradox games is just to play them
I'd post my map here but my borders and the borders of everyone around me are ugly as sin
So uh, you know the Saxon Band, the mercenary group in CK2? Is this supposed to happen?

Is he supposed to still be wearing that helmet?

Looks like a military state :pwn:
They mercenaries are given castle holding in certain places. So I'm assuming they could rebel. Or whoever had them could have run out of money and they attacked them and took some counties.
[QUOTE=croguy;36591152]I hope the diplomacy will swerve into Victoria 2 territory while maintaining and perfecting the combat system and map system of HoI3.[/QUOTE]However the combat system turns out, I pray to god that it doesn't have the shitty diceroll system found in EU3 and Vicky2.
Captured Pomerania and expanded the Kingdom of Jerusalem. The king of Poland is also the Duke of Pecs and I have to wait like 9 years to get rid of the pimple on Hungary. I also have a couple of claims I'm going to use against the Byzantines. The Byzantines are crumbling and having civil wars every 3 years, so their levies and garrisons are to the shit. Perfect for me.

I really want to get Crusader Kings II to play with a friend, but I missed the sales it had. Should I wait for another sale, or just get it now?
It was a daily sale first day, so if they do another "Encore day" it'll be up again.

Only if it was the top selling game that day.
