My biggest pet peeve, and I know I'm not alone in this, is how hard they've made it to keep a realm together with succession laws. I think using Renown as a means of providing dynasty-boosting buffs is kinda silly but also pretty awesome. I like that Stress encourages you to roleplay by punishing you for taking actions that are against your character's nature. I think a lot of the major mechanical changes are positive. It's crazy how different the pace and progression of the game feels compared to CKII, and the powers that unlocked by climbing the tech tree are much more impactful than before. I think the game is phenomenal, and I think it also needs some pretty major re-balancing, and some issues definitely need to be ironed out. I got up to the early 13th century after starting in 1066. I've played 15 hours of CK3 so far, following on from the tutorial and trying to build a realm starting in Ireland, which has always been considered CK "easy mode" but to be honest was always one of my favourite go-to ways to play CKII. It came nowhere close to matching the time I sunk into Stellaris, which was about 500 hours, let alone CKII. That said, I think I liked Imperator Rome a lot more than some Paradox fans did, even though I only ever had fun playing as Rome and following the linear, obvious path set out by the game. My expectations weren't spectacularly high, because I've got a habit of disliking sequels to some of my most played games (Civ 5 is a masterpiece, and Civ 6 is toilets, see also for XCOM-XCOM2). I adore CKII, maybe as much as it's possible for me to adore a game. I stuck with CKII through the expansions to gameplay, coming back to it for another hundred hours or so every 6-12 months.

That was needlessly hyperbolic and inflammatory, obviously, as I did also really love XCOM: Enemy Unknown, but I thought it was a weak year in a lot of ways and thought The Walking Dead Telltale series was quite overrated. It's one of my all-time favourite games, and I wrote a blog post on this 'ere website back in 2012 - it was called "Why CKII is the GOTY, and Why You're All Assholes". I have played Crusader Kings II on Steam for nearly 1,400 hours - the only game I have logged more time with is Sid Meier's Civilization V. What do yall think?Īpologies for incoming mountain of text, but it's 12:45am and I saw Tenet this evening so I'm too exhausted to edit it.
I'm hoping that Alex does a Quick look and gets into this game because I'd like to hear his take.

My goal is to demount the pope and install my own religion that dominates all of Europe, but I keep getting sidelined by the warring factions in East Francia and my own deceitful sons that all are strong warriors but horrible leaders. It feels really good starting as small High Chiefdom and expanding across central Europe. RIght now I'm playing as the Piast Dynasty and I just created the Kingdom of Poland. When things went bad for me in CK2, I always had to look up a guide or youtube video. I think the new Decisions tab really revolutionized the game making it a lot easier knowing what you can do, and what needs to be done. How are you all feeling about the game so far? I thought this one was way easier to get into, and I think the tutorial did a pretty decent job of explaining the most important concepts. Since the other post was made pre-release of the game I decided to start a new one.
