I will be getting two new games after my exams, please comment on them:

[Bast]

Crusader Kings: Complete
Victoria: Complete

The former because I would like to play a game based on building royal dynasties and kind of a role play challenge and the latter because it's a relatively interesting period of history although I much prefer Middle Ages and Renaissance and because it's named after Queen Victoria. I don't think I will play as anyone other than Great Britain.

All this will be after my exams because I need to study.

I already have Europa Universalis III: Complete.

I like to emulate the great deeds of women like Elizabeth I, Isabella, Catherine de Medici and Maria Theresa. The great thing about EUIII is that it allows me to pick the years and play for however long as I want. It is great roleplay.

I'm not very good at it though.

I was joking, its understandable.

I'll admit that I'm very good at trade and colonial aspects of EUII MMP and mediocre at the rest. I dislike fighting wars.

Victoria is the best game ever.

I think this is why they included co-operative play in the multiplayer (so two people can play the same nation and manage different aspects). I get bored by trade and economics (unless it is a trading game like Patrician II in which trading is fun, or at least seeing my money counter go up is), I start wars because I get bored. And you know kind of want that land but mostly for something to do.

Victoria is awesome. There's a community mod for it, the Victoria Improvement Project, which makes the game even better. And you already know what I think about Crusader Kings.

Victoria is a great game, however as much as I liked the concept of CK I couldn't get into it.

You should try HOI2 Complete though if you're into Paradox games, I can't quite recomend HOI3 yet

 

[cardgame]

Victoria is great if you have weeks to spend LEARNING the game first, and without a tutorial at that...

You don't need weeks to learn how to play Vicky. Read some AARs. IMHO it's less complicated than HoI2 is.

Sorry I don't do "modern". I don't plan to play past 1901 - the death of Queen Victoria.

I might just wait till Victoria II comes out next year?

 

[Captain2]

I'd wait a year or so after Victoria II comes out

Actually, this is a good point, especially since you already have EU3 Complete. (Though another EU3 expansion has also been announced, so it's not really 'complete' anymore. )
