Paradox celebrate 1 year of Crusader Kings III with stats, like Cannibalism being popular

Quoting: slaapliedjeI really wanted to do the CK# -> EU4 -> HoI4 transfer all the way through. I can't recall if you can transfer from the roman era one on up? Anyhow, would be cool to try to survive through all games with the same character.
First of all, I think it would have to be CK -> EU4 -> Vic2(or 3 if it is out by then :P) -> HoI4.

Basically, I've had the same idea, but honestly:

I don't think it is possible.
Not from a technical standpoint, that can be done (with limitations, obviously).
But I don't think you could do that, anway - how would you actually manage NOT to have conquered the entire planet by the end of EU4?

Realistically, if you play the game normally, not artificially restricting yourself, you'll be at least in a very good position starting EU4 and starting EU4 with a very good position basically means you'll have conquered half the planet by the end.
So then you'd start Vicky having already conquered half the world...
I think such a run would end before you'd even start with HoI4.

If you did limit yourself to stay below what you COULD do, you'd spend the majority of all games doing nothing at all - and that would be boring anyone out of their mind.
I didn't think Victoria2 had a transfer program? But the others seem to, and you'd start with Rome Imperator?
Oh, you're right. There'd be another game in the row.
With that in mind, you'd have to try really hard not to achieve world domination by EU4 :grin:

Quoting: ShabbyX
Quoting: denyasisSo honest question....
Is CK3 so much better than 2 that is worth buying 3? Or should I hold off until it gets fleshed out with a couple more expansions?

I have CK2 and most of it's expansions, which cost a lot. I haven't played it much and would basically be a new player.... I guess I'm worried that I would spend a lot of money on a game I fundamentally already have.
I may be stating the obvious here, but you should probably first play the game you already have, see if you even like it, before you decide to by the sequel :D
It is also a Paradox game, though.
Those tend to not really be very meaty and "finished" until a year and a handful of patches and DLCs are in.

No idea if that is the case here, as CK is really not my cup of tea. But HoI4 or EU4, 4 example (heheehe...) I wouldn't have recommended until 1-2 years later.

Warhammer: Vermintide 2 developer responds on Easy Anti-Cheat for Linux with Proton

That's good news.
This game was the ONLY reason I booted up Windows in the last year for a game.

Just be aware that Fatshark is one of the slowest developers out there when it comes to fixing stuff & communication.
So... any result here is likely to take a while.

Nice. Might actually play the game in my lifetime still.
Don't like to step into episodic games before everything is out.

Bud Spencer & Terence Hill - Slaps And Beans 2 will be coming to Linux

The first game made a very nice impression - too easy, but still alright for co-op.

Up until that one level where you had to avoid some lasers, but the graphics made it absolutely impossible to even tell where you are in relation to the lasers. It was pure guesswork. Add to that some lag apparently introduced by playing co-op and you get a disaster.

We gave up on the game after failing that section for over an hour.

Quoting: Guestand now it wants to look at my disk accesses
From what I understand, it just wants to look at the games' disk accesses, not whatever else you are doing.
If anything, the game developers could feel spied on here, not you.

I can never press play on these launchers before everything has been downloaded.

Just feels wrong to me :grin:
