Have you Pre-Ordered Europa Universalis IV?

[jomni]

This is basically CK2 set in a different time period, right?

Or...what makes this significantly different from CK2 other than the time period covered?

You do not run a dynasty in EU.  You run a country.

Ok, got it.  Not the game for me, but I'm happy for you guys that are stoked for these country-builder games.  I'm sure it's going to be excellent!   :D

Usually it's SoM that calls me an idiot because of a Paradox title but I see you're subbing for him Toonces...gee thanks :\

You probably know this, but the demo is up on Steam.

Oh don't get all offended on me.  You know this is a typical Gus post:

"Hey guys, I'm thinking about getting into Rise of Flight, but I don't know too much about it.  What kind of planes are in it?  Do you fly the  planes?"  And so on...   ;D

[Gusington]

^Sorry Commander that's just untrue.

Granted I do ask some questions that I could research myself but typically they are a bit more advanced, like 'what type of plane do prefer to fly in RoF and why?' Stuff like that. So I am still offended.

But hey whateva.

[Toonces]

I love you, Gus.   :)

[Gusington]

I love you too, Commander, even if you make me  :'(

You can get your revenge in a month when you buy it at 75% off.  Just think of the all the celebration beer you can buy with the money you saved!

I'm going to be mature about this one and just not get it. I got all excited and pumped for Victoria 2 and was just left staring at the screen like your avatar. Plus I got tons to play otherwise.

Sounds to me like you've mastered 99% of all Paradox games.  Staring at the screen watching the clock move and the AI doing stuff.

Realist.

[Huw the Poo]

Heh.  I like Paradox's games, but I have to admit that it does boil down to just that. :)

To be fair the only EU game I gave a real solid try to get into was EUI, years ago. I really tried. Just didn't click with me. I always like the idea of these games but the reality for me is different. Victoria, EU, etc. CK I still have yet to try.

The feature that really got me interested here is the game converter, from CK to EU.
