Alright then, if you prefer playing CK2 by spending hours improving your duchy or building a university, knock yourself out. However, the goal of the game is pretty clear: to become a great dynasty. That’s reflected in the dynasty score system you get at the end of the game (end of the Middle Ages). That’s like… the point of the game. And to be a powerful dynasty, well, you have to wipe the map using alliances, which means that after just a few hours, you can already become a huge power starting from a single county lol. It’s not about bypassing mechanics, it’s just that the system is really messed up and illogical as fuck. At least in CKIII, when you rule a county, it takes much longer to develop, and you really have to be careful with each succession, or you risk losing a lot of titles. I’m not saying graphics are a determining factor for a game, but they do provide visual comfort, which is a plus. I never said they were as important as you’re making it sound. I’m a fan of games that basically run on an Excel spreadsheet. If that’s the only argument you can find to contradict me, then that’s what’s actually sad.

CKII is the most realistic game where you are the fucking count of a tiny little patch of land in Asia and you can easily make an alliance with the Holy Germanic Empire which will bring its entire army to help you killing 1000 peasants lol. Oh, you have an adversary that really piss you off? Well just press the button "intrigue" and kill him whithin a few months. You are bored with the inheritance system of your country? Just change it by saying "well, I want my last kid to have all power" and everyone nods. Yeah sure CKII is definitly a better game. Easier for sure

Well, sorry, hipster, but I prefer a game that offers 4x more management, realism, diplomacy, and better graphics. CK3 obliterates CK2—it's a universally recognized fact.

In that case, stop hanging around on CYS right away and rush to CK3.

What about CK3??

Crusader Kings is kind of like a Miller planet in Interstellar.

Civilisation is a really good strategy game. I only played the 6th but I assure you that it worth it. Almost seems like a huge board game.

Wow, you really outdid yourself with that. Thanks so much for all the details and juicy info, I was totally captivated. Feel free to write threads about stuff like this that you come across, I’d love to read them!

Oh sorry, I must have confused it with something else.

Kinda jealous that he convinced you and I didn't.
