Knights of Honor 2: Sovereign

[Grim.Reaper]

I am not even looking at reviews--as mentioned my expectations are low and contained, nothing a review is going to say in order to change my mind.  Not looking for it to be Game of the Year or revolutionize strategy games, just looking at is an opportunity to rekindle playing a game from my past and possibly being able to "handle" things better as other games often overwhelm me with deep spreadsheet mechanics:)  Even if the AI is easy for people, even the dumbest AIs still give me a fit:)

I don't really want an absurdly hard game here. 

I've kinda been looking for something that does some relaxing world building and strategy with interesting combat to keep it fresh.

I'm watching Cringer playing on twitch. His sponsorship is over but he keeps playing due to him having fun.

Game looks ok. I don't think I'll be paying full price though.

Yep, I am with you....if I wanted more complex and hard, I would just play CK3 or something like that:)  This might actually be a game that I complete, although probably not as I don't complete many:)

Even the guy who was dissapointed said he is having fun and will keep playing.  He just thought they could have brought in more modern approaches and a little better graphics.  I got the idea he wanted more complexity which is not what I'm looking for.  I couldn't get into the CK2/3 family complexity so this looks more like what I want.  I enjoyed the first version of KoH.

Me too. I liked Knights of Honor. I'm patient with my gaming, so I'm a wait and see type. If it has some improvements on the original that's Okay. If it's a happy-medium between CK 2/3 and Total War that's fine too.

I'm sure she'll want a copy... :dreamer:

Got to say most of the negativity is on my positivity list

Just like old one

Not hectic

Nothing new

Slow

Fetch me my pipe and slippers but I see nothing wrong with that

Funnily enough the more I look into this one (bearing in mind I never played the original) the more I like it.

Slow games are good for me these days, I normally shy away from real time stuff for that reason and the odd time I play paradox stuff it is always on the slowest speed and however much I might admire the Matrix Red Storm game that just came out, the complexity of it and it's never ending data is beyond me.

Think I may pick up this one in the next week as long as it doesn't prove to be buggy.

Thanks to those above who have shown me the error of my ways  :)

No not really but it sounded good in my post.  Haha!

Great video that demonstrates what I wanted to see about this game.  Only 6 more hours to go before I can go home and buy this puppy!
