Of course it's less personal due to the lack of the rpg element, but I don't necessarily need that.
But from watching a few videos, EU4 seems to have some advantages over CK2: it at least 'feels' a bit more open, you seem less limited with levies and so on and there's also essentially the whole world to explore and conquer. In theory, I prefer the medieval times to the EU4 timeframe, which made me lean towards CK2. Naturally, that's part of the game and the challenge, but still.Īs far as EU4 is concerned, I've only watched a few 'let's play' videos about it. you often have to wait quite a while to do something and your options are limited. I really enjoyed it so far and think it's quite interesting.īut there's one thing that bothered me a bit, namely that it often feels very 'constrained', i.e. I know how the basics work, marriage, dynasties, claims, de jure, counties/duchies/kingdoms etc., casus belli and so on. To clarify, I already downloaded the demo for CK2, played it a bit and watched several good guide videos for it online. However, recently my enthusiasm has increased and I did some research on both of them. Alright, so despite having played TW games for many years and being a major strategy fan, I've never touched a Paradox game yet unfortunately.
