    I Highly, highly recommend Against the Storm if nobody has played it yet. Fantastic city builder roguelike with a gorgeous atmosphere and interesting world.

    Victoria 2 was the gateway that finally got me into Paradox Games. Most people seem to think it’s better than Victoria 3. It’s only $4.99 right now (75% off). Victoria is an economics/trade simulator with simulated populations/demand. So your goal is to try to make a lot of money on whatever resources you choose–lumber, cotton, etc, while also providing enough to meet the demand of your population/grow various populations.

    After I played that, Crusader Kings 3 got its claws into me.

    Victoria 2 is easy to recommend. However, it’s tough to recommend Crusader Kings 3 and other modern Paradox games with their shitty DLC model. I’ve frankly pirated it all.

      Wholeheartedly agree with your take on CK3. Considering how greedy they are with their DLC policy, you‘d at least think they‘d be able to get proper multi-core optimizations into their engine so games don‘t grind to a halt lategame…

      I did the Lingua Franca achievement in CK3 before mods etc. were allowed for it (essentially a world conquest challenge), and lategame was crazy slow while my CPU was snoozing.

      Also it feels to me like the more DLCs they add the more forced/unpolished it gets, the features don’t fit in nicely, but that‘s just my personal opinion. Also lots of oversights in text when I last played.

      It‘s a great game regardless which honestly should be pirated, or the base game bought and pirate the rest. The DLC policy is just batshit insane. Don‘t they even have a monthly DLC subscription for some games? Like fuck off lol

      Funilly enough, Victoria 1 Revolutions was in many aspects better than V2 (although 2 may have been better overall) - and yes, V2 from what I see is much better than V3. Paradox regressed through their own arrogance.

    Call to Arms: Gates of Hell - Ostfront looks good. RTS with direct command.

    I literally just bought the regular CTA game 2 days ago lmao

      I upvoted the post, but the caps and mulitple exclamation marks tempted me not too. Feels a little overbearing.

      But overall, I guess I’m more glad to see the excitement than I am annoyed by the yelling.
