Comparing it to Civ 4..

Kristoffer O:

Don't tell me you like it Historical version of Dominions would be 100x better than EU. EU 3 has extremely dumb AI, imbalanced and ahistoric nations, only few playable countries, only one map, not even mentioning diplomacy [mainly peace system] and seizing colonies.

[Kristoffer O]

Actually I never played it. It seemed a bit hard to get into
Which tells me I would never ever play dominions unless I was guided through the whole process of learning how to play it.

I just thought it was a good game.

Nowdays I lack patience and only play roguelikes and fast paced games like Guild Wars, which I no longer have patience to play well.

EU players have very closed society and they do not welcome criticism there. Something similar to iPod worshippers [or take any other example you like]. They made an extremely stupid way of conquering territories [you must conquer it and then convince them to sign a peace giving it to you, which is based on war score and some very random throws, so to get 1 province you need to conquer 40 one time and you can get lucky and be losing that 40 provinces to AI and then get white peace and give nothing].

And I prefer Enemy Territory: Quake Wars when I have no patience and my brain does not want to do what I want him to do.

I like a lot of the Paradox games, although EUIII didn't appeal much, and I hang around the forums there a lot. I haven't ever noticed people being any more fanatical than any other game forum and plenty of criticism goes on.

[Sombre]

I quite liked EU2 and I heard EU3 was basically improved in all aspects. Anyway, I prefer dom3 to both.

So i guess nobody here likes Victoria? How does EU3 compare to Vicky?

[Folket]

Victoria is probably one of the best game ever created. I find the econimic modell somewhat weak but the game has huge potentials.

[Cor2]

I love victoria too. you really have to be a hard core gamer to play it though.

Recently incursion. Dungeon Crawl before that. Adom before that.
