Cal Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 (edited) I am beyond excited to begin my first campaign with the DLC tomorrow. I have decided on doing a The Last Karling run where I play mostly tall after migrating to Northern Africa, melding the French and Berber cultures into a cultural union, and converting to Judaism and reforming the religion to be war-mongering. What a fun game. Edited February 8, 2022 by Cal 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DakotaHale Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Based. Looking forward to playing it this weekend. The culture mixing looks kinda cool. Anglo-Viking dynasty English playthrough maybe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pringles Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Might pick it up after I get payed. I want to see how the gameplay is in YouTube before I spend money... the Prongle economy is implementing some serious spending limits at the moment as of late... 😛 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last one got thrown out in a landslide for bringing the checking account down to a level it shouldn't have been... at least the savings is still great though. 😛 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPotatoTed Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Nice! Let me know how it goes. I put CK3 on the backburner until the Game of Thrones mod comes out, I know they've been waiting to heavily implement Royal Court. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are many, many good nation-building and -managing strategy games out there, and I have a lot of insight into the genre as a whole, but am unable, even in polite or friendly conversation, to engage in it, because one company alone is monomaniacally focused, and everything else is de facto pushed out by a wall of non-responsiveness or derision. Of course, as I've said above, it is not a matter of, "fault," or, "obligation," and no one, "owes," anyone anything here, but it is irritating and very noticeable. I would find myself highly stymied if I were restricted to only one company in this genre. And I am merely stating this a negative observation of tenor - this is not a platform to start a fight. We know, you don't care for Paradox games and don't like that we primarily talk about them compared to other games of the genre. If you want threads about the games you like, make threads about them. I'm sure you're not the only one who's played some of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bro literally nobody cares. Just be quiet. You even saying something here is you wanting to start a fight. Let us talk about our game in peace please. If you want an Age of Empires topic go make one yourself. We are comfortable with our game decision making. You are comfortable with yours. Enough said. Nothing else needs to be said. You've stated what you think about paradox games multiple times. We know it. The world knows your plight. You dont need to keep saying it. Why? Because spoiler alert: nobody cares. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You, also, are a big part of the problems on these forums, and so is the general denial of that. YOU being the one to respond compounded the issue, which was only a minor, non-comital statement anyways. It's can only be the vilest of hypocrisy when it's you responding to me in these instances. Can't you see that? Of course not! You're @Pringles. Nothing would've been said if you didn't say anything. Remember that 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who said we were restricting ourselves? Paradox games are simply the most notable in the genre and we enjoy their games. That doesn't mean we're loyal stans ready to fight anyone who dares to talk smack about best company. Considering your aversion to anything mainstream, your qualms are not of any surprise. But you don't need to preach to us. We know other games exists. These are just the games everyone here plays and enjoys. Ain't nothing wrong with that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't pretend you have a higher ground. Don't pretend YOU, specifically, EVER have a higher over ME. Of all those on this forum, YOU NEVER DO!

Cenzonico Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Can confirm Royal Court is based. Went from a Anglo-Saxon kingdom in Southern England to a Crusader State in the Mediterranean with Tunisian culture. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
