The last games in their series are HOI3, EU3, Victoria 2 (in progress) and CK1? And those are all their series?

Also EU:Rome.


...and, from the dead pile, Diplomacy and Svea Rike (Crown of the North, Two Thrones).

Is EU:Rome a new game, or just a mod from EU?
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

It's a new game, based on the EU3 engine.  It isn't all that great, even with its one expansion.

It's not reasonable to expect a Paradox game to be good after only one expansion, though.

CK is.   :ph34r:

Are they ever going to make a new CK? That was a great game idea, not so well executed.

Blame the Russians.
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

EU:Rome actually has some of the ideas a new CK would need - traits, loyalty, etc.

The worst part about CK was that it became a breeding program.

That disappeared with the expansion.

That's good to hear--how did they accomplish that?

Children stats develop over time and are not linked to parental stats.

So you frequently end up with really crappy rulers?

That was one of the more entertaining aspects of the game.  I became much more interested in breeding a super-heir than I was about trying to arrange advantageous matches in terms of inheritance...

Not sure if a CK2 would ever see the light of day.  Apparently CK did not sell well.  On the other hand though, it's not as if Vicky sold well either...

Johan posted once that Vicky sold worse than CK.

You can if you don't meddle (assassinations, changing succession laws...).
