Thanks  :)

I might also be a bit jaded in that I played the opening moves as the Germans a few hundred times in order to help code the AI moves as the Axis way back when (2011 or so).  Against human opponents I could do a rather demoralizing 1st couple of turns by the time I had enough of the game.
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

I picked up HOI IV. I'm bewildered. :blush:

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Read the manual, you Brit you.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

I read the beginner's guide (and the Italy guide as that's the nation in the tutorial) and started playing the tutorial. It felt like a lot of work. :Embarrass:

I agree, though it felt like less work than HoI3.

Just 'finished' tutorial. I see that it taught me about say 20% of the interface? :D

So I'm trying to decide between some games in the Steam sale:

Torment: Tides of Numenara
Pillars of Eternity II
Kingdom Come: Deliverance

Help me decide.  TIA.

TToN is rather dull; pity, because I was expecting a lot more from the game. I think the developers added some content with after release patches.
KC:D  I did not play it
PoE II I started it and enjoyed it very much, but after a while the game became too heavy for my old pc, so I stopped. I played about ten hours, and liked it a lot.
