What nation did you play as? If you picked some remote nation, like native americans, it's not surprising if it didn't happen much. Anyway, I'm a bit surprised that you didn't like EU, when you like games like civ and galciv.
You might want to try Hearts of Iron, based on WWII. Then there's always something to do, I can promise you.

Unless you pick another really small or poor country

Or a major country (bar Japan/China) in 1936 and don't go off the rails, historically speaking.

No! Don't like the idea at all, I barely remember to visit the Total War forums now that those threads have been separated.

@Harbringer - alot of paradox games have sort of a 'set your own goals' thing going on, which is fair enough when you can pick every country. I mean playing EU3 from the start as Leinster you are never going to win (aka be the number 1 nation), but forming Ireland and keeping it safe would be considered a victory, for example.
Fair point

<-- agrees with Kan
It would be nice if the total war forum was accessable from All Other Games instead of having to backtract like we do now.

Just a little bit mad
Buy the Anthology pack, it's not too expensive and you get all the versions, in case you feel the need to play a mod that is only for another version.

BEC NOIR! RUN!
Well, I've looked through this thread and have some questions about EU3
1: Do you need a good computer to play it?
2: How complex is it?
3: If I was to buy it, what's the name of the mod I should download?

You don't need a great computer, but AFAIK it doesn't work in integrated graphics cards.
It's very complex, apparently, there is stuff to it I don't know yet (I don't play it alot), but it's not too hard to get the basic grip (guides and asking on forums are very useful).
For mods, I don't know, I have Magna Mundi, but I'm not sure I like it.

Actually, forget that. I went and bought Victoria off GamersGate last night, so I'm busy learning that. I'll probably get EUIII off it too in a while.

Victoria is great! Takes a while to get used to though!
Get revoloutions, as Rossiya says! I haven't got VIP yet though. As I said in another thread, with EU3 I relaly reccomend waiting for the next expasion before getting it.

For some reason my Victoria AI insists on acting ahistorically just like my HoI2 AI.
Playing Brazil, since it is apparently a great beginners country, and have made it to 1874.
Or is this just normal Vicky AI behaviour that I'm not used to?

- The CSA is still around
- Texas is still around (got its independence from CSA)
- United States of Central America are still around
- Prussia became Germany, but it still only controls Prussia's original territory
- There is a North German Confederation alongside Germany
- The US is going crazy colonizing Africa (They have Ethiopia, and well as most of Sudan and Congo)
- I would think by now that Bolivia would have revolted from Peru
- There were at least two wars that could be classified as world wars during the 1850's
- Annam controls a territory in North Africa it stole from France during a 20 year war between the UK/Annam and France
- Peru controls half of southern Colombia
- Britain took half of Alaska from Russia

Because it looks like quite an add on!
For a start, they are adding new provinces and map modes.
There will be now missions, giving more of a purpose to the game. One of the screenshots they released showed a beginning mission for Castille, where they had to finish reqounqering spain! This of course means mor efun for the player, and also the ai will act mroe historically!
It's gonna start in 1399 now,so you can play the 100 years war if you want! (Though you can of course choose to startw henever you wish in the time peroid covered)
Colonialial stystem revised!
And something i'm really exicited about - rebels with a cause! Rebels will have factions and goals!
