I know it takes years.. but really I can't help but feel they should focus on fixing their existing shit first rather than release new shit that meltdowns.

I watched some let's plays as well. Seems a piece of cake once you have read the actual manual.

Then again, can't tell because people don't get far enough...

Color me intrigued

One word, optimus?

I don't think Steam is smart enough to realize you are running games with optirun %command%, is it?

People used to play these kind of games face-2-face. We developed our own rules. We called it Mafia etc, depending on the chosen theme.

I guess gathering 8+ people in a room for solid gameplay is a challenge these days :)

Not sure how I feel about it tbh.

Sorry for replying w/o reading all the WoTs but just wanted to reiterate the arguments that actually count:

1) DLC prices are too damn high
2) vanilla bugs stay unfixed for years
3) they (un)intentionally introduce new bugs/nerf/remove existing mechanics with the so-called free patches to give you an incentive to buy DLC

That being said, I played EUIV, CKII and Stellaris for a couple hundred hours each and own quite a few DLCs.

My advice: pick and choose well, and wait for that discount.

Props to Liam not posting about that rubbish for a while.
