Vogel Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 Curious if any of you are into the Paradox games like Hearts of Iron or Crusader Kings etc? I'm playing a bit more HOI IV these days, curious if anyone wanted to give a go on multiplayer at some point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firefly Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 I play HoI IV, but I'm a filthy casual who only ever plays offline. Same goes for all the other Paradox titles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yogi Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 Not HOI but I do a cpl of the Scourge of War series. Mostly Gettysburg & Waterloo. Also play "World War 1 Centennial Edition" which is very like HOI IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razwald Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 I've casually played HOI 4 but never really got hooked on it. I have a bunch of hours in Stellaris though. I have debated on picking up Crusader Kings 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmerlistDavjack Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 I played HOI 1 and 2 with my friends back in the day and really enjoyed them, but HOI4 is DLC hell, even for a Paradox Game. I can't remember what, but there is a feature in one of the DLCs that should've been part of the original game, or at least a free update, and that turned me off entirely. I loved CK2 a lot (I even played CK1, that was kinda rough), but after they expanded the map, especially India with even more polygamists, a top tier PC can't run it into a late game due to all the extra characters being born. I wrote a mod for adding character capture mechanics for siege victories that got incorporated into the original AGoT mod, albeit changed so that some iconic families wouldn't be put to the sword. I hear CK3 is more streamlined than CK2, has anybody played a game lasting more than 200 years without Fast Speed slowing to a crawl at some point? Does it use multi-core processors better than 2?

Firefly Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 HoI4 is also a pain in that regard, when you put the game at speed 5 it feels like speed 3 at game start. The deluge of DLCs is why I've put off purchasing more Paradox titles - IMHO grabbing them in a bundle or a large sale is the way to go. CK3 runs on an improved version of the Clausewitz engine with integrated DirectX 11 support. Not sure if that improves multi-core use or not, but from what I've been told the new games feel quite smooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
