If you enjoy challenging starts there is plenty of countries to go with and as a historical sandbox simulator it is still the best for the timeframe but as I said I stopped playing it once they went overboard with trying to "fix" exploits/tricks players could use against the AI, which to me is just plain stupid since EU4 is still mostly a Singleplayer game. I think I went off the rails with the whine there so let me just go back to the original question: EU4 is a good game for a reduced price it is surely worth giving it a shot since you enjoy CK2 (which I only play modded since I can't stand vanilla in certain aspects). Main difference of the EU franchise to the CK one is a much stronger focus on warfare and eventually conquering large parts of the world. If your enjoyment of CK2 stems mainly from the storylines/roleplaying you get and the character focus EU4 might not be for you since you are playing a country throughout the early modern era, but it is a good historical sandbox game. edit: learning curve is quite a bit higher than CK2 btw but not as insane as Victoria or Hearts of Iron | ||

The thing with EU IV is that you have to enjoy conquering and going on massive sprees of wars or you will get run over by the AI eventually. In contrast to CK2 it just feels like a "shallow" (as by paradox strategy game standards) map painter. There is way less to do about internal factors and much more focus on diplomacy and warfare to eventually become a dominant power.

Which might be the case again for a little while. If you think mods really improve the experience - can you name some good ones? I don't have many of the dlcs though... | ||

If you think mods really improve the experience - can you name some good ones? I don't have many of the dlcs though... For CK2, the most important DLC in terms of making things interesting is probably Conclave, aka the "your vassals have lots of reasonable ambitions and you have to juggle them" DLC. In Conclave, your vassals, especially powerful ones (dukes / multidukes if you're a king, counts / multicounts if you're a duke) will specifically want to be on your Council so they have more power. Also, there's a new set of laws about the powers you grant the council. For example, the Council could have no power at all (like CK2 pre-Conclave), or you could grant them the power to raise armies in your name to keep the King's Peace. Also, you can grant them the right to do certain things, like revoke titles, approve of wars, etc. Also, various vassals of yours will join political factions for changing the laws of the realm in various ways (this was also patched to standard CK2 I think? or was always a part of it?) Pretty fun. Mostly, it adds challenges to managing kingdoms and larger realms, via internal politics, as well as a new interesting educating system that starts educating a child earlier and lets you make decisions about how to raise the kid (get a stewardship education, martial, etc) based on decisions rather than the kid just getting whatever stuff you have. Unlike other DLCs, Conclave does not add new playable countries or areas. A lot of the CK2 DLCs are like "ok, now we've made Pagans/Muslims/etc have complex mechanics, so the player can play as them without being bored" or something. There's one that adds India to the map so instead of playing as a king in europe / mediterranean area, you can play as an indian king or equivalent. Exciting because they have an entirely new set of mechanics related to buddhist, hinduist, or jain religion, as well as a caste system that is complex and I don't understand. Two more DLCs that are fairly solid are Way of Life and Sons of Abraham. The first adds new personality traits. Ambitions now are of the category "Become a paragon of virtue" or "become King or X" rather than basics stuff like "have a son", and there's a second ambition-like thing you have called your focus, which is stuff like "become better at intrigue", "grow my family", or "party a bunch" etc. Sons of Abraham adds more complex religious stuff, like requesting crusades from the pope, papal elections, new holy orders for all the faiths, lots of new events etc. Also allows for more complex mechanics if you play a Muslim ruler. The Pagan one is Old Gods, which lets you start before Abrahamic religions spread everywhere (9th century) as a pagan king with a more organized Pagan church. You can even do stuff like create a centralized pagan church of your religion to unlock more interesting religious interactions. I recently played through an Old Gods game as one of the last Zoroastrian rulers and I'm pressing for a Zoroastrian restoration in Persia. It's going pretty rough but it's fun. Not my top rec as a DLC though. So, I picked up EU4 and when I finish my next ck2 game I'll convert it into EU4 and see how it goes! | ||

If you think mods really improve the experience - can you name some good ones? I don't have many of the dlcs though... Do you like Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice and Fire? If yes give the mod for CK2 a try it is quite well done from the last time I played it. I am mainly playing Ck2plus, which is a huge overhaul fixing a lot of issues of vanilla and expanding on the features of it quite a bit. It does make the game a bit more challenging as well and adds a lot of historical things which really should have made it into vanilla. Just a couple of examples: - A united Christendom in the earlier start dates which depending on actions you can take might result in the schism later down the route or you can keep it united - much improved flavor and gameplay for heresies - new faction system - cadet branches - coronations - reworked decadence for muslims - event chain for the transition of Carolingian Empire to Holy Roman Empire And lots more including tons of small fixes etc which make the gameplay much more enjoyable. Overall if you are looking for a fresh experience while still having the vanilla framework as a foundation to work with Ck2plus is the mod you are looking for :D | ||
