>Crusader Kings 2 on the other hand has a difficult learning curve

EU4 is fairly easy,although at least you can use some mods and play as a one province start. Also ironman.

Now, Dominions 4 is a hideously hard game to understand.

>>79196697
>Hearts of Iron 3
Seriously? I found EU IV easier than this the whole army HQ structure thing drove me insane.
>>
>>79195838
The ONLY thing Civ does better than Eu4 is that you can capture cities with port, with ships.
>>
>>79203712
Then don't play games which take hundreds of hours to play? Don't blame the game.
>>
>>79203699
Yeah none that I can think of, outside of the Mongol Empire scenario mode in Civ 5, which iiiis pretty sick though if you haven't tried it.

But I'm also kind of a Mongolaboo, a game focusing on them would seem to make sense, I don't understand why the total war series has totally snubbed them

Also I forgot to mentioned that modded civ4 is good, civ5/civ6 is utter garbage and you should kill yourself

The civfanatics boards were blowing up with requests to get Indonesia, Tibet and Congonese empire in the game, Indonesia being the most popular, and they gave it to them, my only guess is that the other two are on their way as well. I hope they never put Indonesia in the game again though, fucking lame as shit, although deserving as being culturally different from all other civs, but it was a fucking gay civ, one of the worst. Tibet will be fucking awesome though, I'll play the shit out of them. Congo I could give a shit less about, they should stick with Mali/Ethiopia/Zulu for ever.
>>
>>79205134
Civ 5 is shit. 4 is better than 5 in almost every way. 4 before BTS is better than civ 5 after all its expansions. Only thing 5 is better at is hex tiles. One unit per tile is a decent idea but it deos not work at all with the small as fuck maps that civilization features. The AI sucks so bad at the game, especially one unit per tile that they have to give it ridiculous bonuses. Global happiness makes no fucking sense. Why would my capital care if i conquered a new nation. If anything they should be more happy. Civ 5 makes me want to die and 6 is going to be almost as bad.

At least for me.
If you want multiplayer, forget it. Get CIV6. Or 5.
It can take you some time to understand all the mechanics in eu4 though.
>>
>>79205974
I forgot the biggest reason 5 sucks 4's dick. Science is tied to population rather than gold. The cottage economy system benefited expansion rather than being a 4 city pleb-pire. Research should not be tied to empire size. The maintenance system was a way better system to disincentivize wide empires. expanding in 5 isn't worth it in the slightest, mostly because of happiness but also because of scaling research costs.

Eu4 runs on dlc other wise its broken, even then it has its flaws.

Well good news because Science is getting an over haul from civ 5's mechanics as well. The dude who is designing 6 is a major fan of 4. I THINK you will be pleasantly surprised when you pick up the game. The way I see it the even number civs are the only truly "good" ones, at least that seems to be the pattern.

that being said, I have a spot in my heart for Civ 5. I've played the online multiplayer so goddamn much, and its especially fun if you run with the civfanatics crew who don't drop out of the games. Some of the best times I've ever had sitting in front of a computer talking shit.

With deity you're restricted to implementing the same strategy over and over again in-order to win, gets really boring. No fluidity in Civ V

Having 6 adjacent tiles makes combat more fluid.

>muh stacks

While having nothing to do with tiles, this is the biggest complaint about Civ5. Because apparently people stacking spearmen to stop a tank was fucking acceptable.

desu I never minded the non-stacks, either. I always thought the death balls in 3 and 4 were fucking retarded. Hex tiles and non-stacks does make strategy more, you know, strategic, which is why Im glad they aren't FULLY bringing the stacks back, it's going to be a middle ground between the battle mechanics of 4 and 5

Yes. Specifically because the Zoroastrians exist so incest is actually viable.

>>79208276
but it's not fluid precisely because of 1 unit per tile, it was slow motion dominoes, and fucking protracted fighting fucks it up even more.

>>79208434
They already do in Immortal, in Deity they just get a second city IIRC.
>>
>>79208575
But it allows for more strategy and you can't simply deathstack your way forwards.

>>79205473
EU4 is pretty good if you're new to grand strategy, I bought it last summer sale, and have put quite a bit of hours in it. It's easier than other grand strategy games by paradox (see CK2 or HOI3), but it's a great entrypoint.

The "strategy" that comes from 1 unit per tile is literally just ensuring your ranged units can always attack an enemy, and that they're protected from melee, and that cavalry can hop over units.

It's rote. It's trite. Stack compositions had more depth and more choice.
>>
>>79208575
>>79208719
I like endless legends approach to battles.
Let units stack to travel, but unstack to fight.
Kind of like in total war series, but smaller scale.

One extra tech compared to immortal.

>>79195838
Don't stress too much. It's actually a lot of fun if you let the learning happen naturally. It's not even remotely close to civ in any way but the setup.

Here the emphasis is on econonomy, politics and broad strokes of military strategy rather than micromanaging strategy.

tl;Dr
It's not similar to civ
It's complicated at first, all other paradox games play similar

Caution: paradox is literally the Jew. GiB muh shekels

Pretty funny when you and an ally end up creating a million man battle in luxembourg against the HRE.
>>
>>79209205
you wanna explain how cause what you explained so far doesnt sound fucking trite, it sounds like its fucking hard, youre not even mentioning horses, or when planes come into the picture, or the naval aspect. What with terrain effects too, actually getting your army to conquer another army isn't fucking simple, you got to know what you're doing and the opponent has to know what their doing. I really don't see how that is MORE simplistic than two players stacking 100 spearmen on one tile and smooshing them into each other until one conquers.
>>
>>79209205
That's what it's like in real life too though.
You position ranged in front, then move pikes to the front when the cav approaches.
Guard the flanks.
protect the siege weapons.
This is what real war is like.

>>79208550
Yeah but they have that sand nigger shield flag. AGOT mod was nice though, Made my own mod that let you play as Valyrians in the vanilla map. What always pissed me off was when I say for example conquered Abyssinia and put my unmarried son in charge. He ended up fucking a nigger. I castrate plebs over less.

>>79208614 Yeah, I Haven't played it in ages. You're probably right.

>>79209001 Niggers are a lost cause, Africa's not a human continent (I legitimately feel that they're a different species) Arabs have potential though, terrorism is a manifestation of Eastern Tribal nationalism. They have that impulse and are brave enough to die for what they believe in. The right shouldn't be so quick to dismiss them, They're fighting for their freedom to live as they see right in their own lands, That's admirable tbqh. Only Whiteman and Arabs are demonized in the Kike-Media. Really makes you think.
>>
>>79209631
do you know what cavalry is?

also
>taking so long to win planes exist

and finally, it's not 100 spearmen, you're just retarded.
>>79209702
I don't give a fuck what "real" war is like, this is a game where the time it takes a unit of men the distance equivalent to the length of london can vary between 100 years and half a year.

I want what's fun, with actual choices and strategy. CIV doesn't make the rest of combat realistic at all.

>CIV doesn't make the rest of combat realistic at all.
That's true.
I don't understand the level of granularity they chose at all.
Like I said in a different post, I prefer endless legends style.
There the entire battle happens during a single turn, not over several thousand years.
And you still get to position your units for optimal effect.
>>
>>79204790
HOI4 isn't crappy, it just needs some patches in a bad way. The foundation is solid, and I for one kind of like the total war level of simplicity to it all.

It's easy as fuck but I still occasionally lose because I am too impatient. Even then, you can still win 60% of the time on luck alone.
