Comparing it to Civ 4..

Kristoffer O · #1 October 16th, 2007, 12:08 PM

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.

Kristoffer O:

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.

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?

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

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.

I think incursion shows a lot of promise. I'm still not sold on the interface, although it has improved. The promising part is that there is so much to do, and almost all of it is fun. If the bugs get worked out, I think it has a shot to rival Crawl.

What's Incursion like? I take it's based on D&D. Army has left me out of the roguelike scene for a while.

I also started with ADOM (tried others, but ADOM was the first serious one), moved to Crawl, and never had patience to try Nethack or *bands. I did have fun with DoomRL and DwarfFortress when they were released, but they got old pretty fast. I'll probably try DF again when the big update comes...
