I was just made aware of it, i was playing ck3 for most of the day
like tribal i would do rurik trying to do the empire of rus is fun although i just lost yesterday because i just had no money and went feudal unaware that i would start bleeding money so i just fell apart for feudal i would say the little boys in france i think duke of bijou are a fun start
I've been having fun with some of the achievements. Yesterday I got the Hungary achievement (Start as Magyar Confederation in 867, migrate to Pannonia and convert to Christianity) and today I got the Portugal achievement (start as the Duke of Portugal in 1066 and form the Kingdom of Portugal).
damn that would create a potential world where racism was never invented/gets delayed
I've always wanted to get into paradox's grand strategy games, but I found them a bit too opaque to understand. Is CK3 a good starting point to try again? Is it more approachable than 2?
ck3 feels way easier to get into than 2 and also does not have the weight of hundreds of dlcs adding features to it for a decade so yeah like give it a shot it feels great
Stellaris is pretty approachable too and has a surprising diversity in forms of government.
I like to take fully automated luxury gay space communism for me it’s logical conclusion, a socialist democracy of people who’s conscious was mapped on to robots (I have a lot of transhumanist sympathies) and who’s living standards are set to luxury,
I never realized shared burden had a stability bonus hahaha
Honestly most of the game I have it set to that but when I can make a matter decompressor/am at the point I can steam roll everyone I raise it. I really don’t play on the harder difficulties so I’m sure there’s A better way to min/max
Oh yeah. I love Stellaris. Nothing like having a society made up of so many species the pie chart starts having to reuse colours, gate networks over every inhabited system, siphoning energy from a star and matter from a black hole and liberating the galactic proletariat with your space force via wars of ideology.
Yes, CK3 seems like a good intro. The tutorial is actually useful, there's an in-game encyclopedia, etc. Stick with the Ireland start til you get the hang of it, then you can explore tribal governments.
I played CK2, and it was way more impenetrable. Got the hang of it eventually (shout-out to my Tibetan Empire!), but that took a lot more trial and error.
so trump has been talking about his beautiful boaters for a while now which should have been seen as foreshadowing and there was a trump boat parade and they were defeated by the water
It’s actually funnier than that. The bigger and more powerful boats were making wakes that were too big for the cheaper boats to handle since they aren’t meant for taking on huge wakes. Essentially, the rich were drowning the poor to own the libs. It also tells you the kind of people these people are. They don’t understand why there’s “no wake zones” or they just don’t give a shit and were trying to do donuts to own the libs.
This is the perfect Trump Presidency analogy I've ever seen. It's like Meta-Trumpian.
Come cheer up, my lads! 'tis to glory we steer, To add something more to this wonderful year; To honour we call you, not press you like slaves, For who are so free as the sons of the waves?
Heart of oak are our ships, heart of oak are our men; We always are ready, steady, boys, steady! We'll fight and we'll conquer again and again.
I’m sorry did you say ck3 is out
I don’t keep up on game news much but I really enjoyed ck2 years ago, fuck yeah I’m downloading it, thank you comrade
