hi can someone quickly explain differences between this an EU3(I played EU a few hours only so far)?
I like the design and theme so I'm curious.

the main, and huge, difference between CK2 and EU3 is that in EU3 you are a nation and have the stats of the guy currently ruling, while in CK2 you are a single guy.

In Eu3, you will never lose land because the ruler died unless you lsoe a pretender war, while in CK2 you can lose entire regions or even the entire game if you have no valid heir. You jump from person to person after the death of your current guy and you can interact with EVERYONE. That's also huge: everyone in CK2 is a real person you can kill or marry or whatever. CK2 is less about wars and more about beeing a real person.

so................ MP?

Start with 4-5 players in Frakish duchies, see who expands where to build the DYNASTIES that RULE THE WORLD>

hell yeas, the kingdom of ireland is back!

lolololol triple assassination was a success!

time to inherit when my wife dies!

I inherit 2 duchies ( louxembourg and brabant ) and a county + a ton on claims.

would be down for mp if i get a better computer :S

thx will check it out.

****, people in ireland live forever...

my current guy is 80, father died at 56 in battle and his grandfather died at 78.... DIE ALREADY!

this sounds right up my street

will i be able to get it to run on a fairly new laptop with integrated graphics card?

why don't you guys play total war instead, this looks so boring. I thought the same thing about that europa universalis or w/e

total war gets no love in these forums.

Most amount of fun since EU3. I started out as an Irish OPM and become the King of Ireland and Whales. I also took some of portugal. After my first king died both of the new king's son tried to kill him WTF. I've also been in like 5 huge war with Scotland (ruled by my cousin) for one of the Irish countries it's changed hand like 4 times. My King has like 12 kids and is a senior citizen still going strong. And best of all I'm the black Irish (Ethiopian)

do you also post in the modern warfare 3 thread about why noone plays company of heroes?

no I wouldn't I just think that anyone who plays this would throw it in the bin if they had total war. There are all sorts of mods if you want a more in depth campaign. These games are pretty much the same except they lack the awesome battles of total war. ALl I have seen on total war int hese forums is in the LC thread with shogun 2. If you enjoy this gmae you are missing out... I might be a 'fanboy' here but it is just baffling.

I like both the total war and EU titles. Total war games have 1/100th of the depth.

Yes most likely. Paradox games are not GPU intensive.

Total War is fun, EU3 and CK2 are much more in depth. I loved Empire: TW but its system is a generalization compared to EU3, and the same applies to Medieval vs. CK2. That doesn't mean that TW aren't fun as they're great games.

Pretty much

+1. Also, why does anyone play chess when they could just play Angry Birds??

Took the plunge, great success.


for anyone else considering a purchase with a crappy computer: it works almost perfectly on my non-gaming laptop.

I'm a few hours in, would def recommend to any EU fans.

I have a heavily modded shogun II and it's still nothing like this game. They are two incredibly different games, get over it. Total war is a battlefield simulator, this one is a people simulator. There are no real time battles, just like people aren't simulated in Total War. I agree Shogun II is awesome, it's just that it's a different game.

****, I just found this pick on another foum... **** got real here

dat ireland

Also, lol @ total war series. We make fun of paradox AI but total war AI is on a whole other level of garbage

This.

I checked it out on youtube, and it reminds me a bit of Castles 2 if anyone remember that game. Looks very promising

I remember Castles 2. Not sure if it's exactly the same type of game but i can see the comparison

Well I haven't tried Crusader, but from the looks of it it's semilar at least
