as a CK beta tester I am glad you like it
paradox makes a great game no matter what they put their hand to in my opinion - they are the reason I ended up disappearing back in '01 from this forum - just a month or so after I found SE4 I found EU... then I found the paradox forum.. and then I got on the EU2 Beta... it's been my main love/hobby every since. (been on EU2, Legion, HOI, CK, Victoria & HOI2 betas so far - love their work)
CK is a differnt game - truthfully I hated it at first - but the more you play the more you discover the unique style of game it offers. It is like no other game I've ever played or heard about.
I'd recommend it to anyone.
