Victoria 2

for example, I found myself thinking "I see tension is building up in ottoman-held southern serbia. should I support them if it comes to a crisis? Ottos could use some losses of territory and prestige. But I also have Serbian cores, if the rest of the serbs were unified, Serbia would surely put national focus on stearing up shit with me"

as I said there are plenty to tweak with the system but stuff like the above is much more late 19th century Austria than anything else the game has been able to provide

So, is this game worth 6 bucks or am I better off buying a 6-pack?

it would worth it, sure, but you need both expansions for it to really work.

Is the second expansion playable now?

they much-much improved the silly dominion-release thing, and that was the only obvious ugliness for me. It's still Vicky2, so I find myself playing CK2 instead, but it is a much improved Vicky 2.

Quick question, Victoria II is on -75% at Steam, so is the vanilla on it's own worth playing or do I need all of the expansion too ?

Thanks for that, but I didn't wait too long and purchased the vanilla, I'll have a play now and if I'm touched by it, I'll buy the rest at the weekend.

I bought Vanilla a couple months ago....been a bit underwhelmed by it. Whole lot of staring at the screen unable to do very much waiting for something to happen. Does it get better with XPs?
