I haven't played Stellaris. I'd rank the Paradox games like this: EU4 99/100 CK3 95/100 Victoria II 82/100 March of the Eagle 80/100 HOI whatever the latest version is 75/100 Imperator 72/100 EU is the game that made Paradox. It has the most depth and replay value, I think. It also has a lot of DLC and free DLC in the Steam workshop. I recommend the Extended Timeline. You do need most of the DLC for maximum EU4 playability, however. How good is the extended timeline mod? I have decent specs, but is it possible to play from 1444 to 2021 for example without a huge slow down? Is everything in-depth and balanced? Am I going to get stuff like nuclear weapons in 1840?

It’s been a minute, but it’s pretty good. It goes back to the Roman Empire i believe. It’s not really unbalanced because there isn’t shit like nuclear weapons on EU4’s system 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well in Spore you start as a single-celled lifeform that advances to a space-faring civilization over millions of years so we all know that makes it the superior game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t notice a slowdown at all. I do get a slowdown with Hearts of Iron IV. If you can play that, you can play the extended timeline. You’ll get weapons way too early only if you use cheat codes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am, actually, not tied strictly to non-fiction in my interests, and have, in fact, a wide range of knowledge of, exposure to, consumption of, and even trying my hand at writing, science fiction, and many other fictional genres, in gaming, books, movies, TV shows, etc. And, I also happen to know well that saying, "it's fiction, there are no rules, anything can happen, nothing needs to be explained," as you seem to be in the school of, is one of the most lame-brained things you can say, and one of the easiest paths to ridicule and excoriation among fiction fandom you can engage in. As someone quite familiar with fiction, the concepts of internal consistency, maintaining intellectual property lore or evolving it naturally, suspension of disbelief, following genre and sub-genre conventions, and playing to the target audience and desiring to expand that audience, are all major and important features. Thus, asking about the clarification of the premise of a work of fiction, even in a critical tone, is not at all out-of-line - in fact, it's more expected than not. I do not need or benefit from your self-righteous, mocking, and condescending tone telling me not stick to gaming or fiction when it's obviously you that is the clueless one on the topic. didnt read lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've already listed many other features to you. *Yawn* 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This new poster and their horrid attitude should not be given a warm welcome by anyone here - it would be like welcoming PoliticalPundit with open arms. Idk man, I think you should just ignore it if it's that bothersome to you. It's clear that he's/she's a reaction to you about something you've done over the week. I've got a pretty great idea who it is. But for reasons of anonymity I am not going to say who I'm almost certain it is. Because I don't think that's right. I'm moreso laughing at the outrageous things he's/she's saying, which is clearly meant to just irk you and has no real true meaning. It only has meaning because you respond to it. Also Dakota was laughing to, don't forget to tag him. 😛 Edited January 30, 2022 by Pringles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
