Just a quick google gave me something (as the first result) which more or less illustrates the way the entire system works in half a dozen images: Portugal is also fairly safe to pursue a colonial game without much interference.Īs for the trade system, it would be better to ask what you're not getting about it. Castille is probably a good bet, as if you stay friendly with France you're relatively immune to everything. England was always very good with this but it has some very bad events early on which newbies might find hard to deal with. Your best bet is also to start as a nation which is relatively "safe" so you can learn the game. They're a very helpful community at the official forums and the "Quick Questions, Quick Answers" thread is very handy if you just want to find out something specific.
Learning the hard way is in my opinion, the best way. Play, play, play and when you find something goes wrong, go to the Paradox forums and do a bit of digging and you'll find out why. Honestly, don't try and read a guide first. Which of the two would you recommend? I don't mind a challenge btw, I'm willing to watch quite a few guide videos and to get into the game via trial and error. Therefore, before buying one or the other, I was wondering what you guys think.
Of course it's less personal due to the lack of the rpg element, but I don't necessarily need that. But from watching a few videos, EU4 seems to have some advantages over CK2: it at least "feels" a bit more open, you seem less limited with levies and so on and there's also essentially the whole world to explore and conquer. In theory, I prefer the medieval times to the EU4 timeframe, which made me lean towards CK2. Naturally, that's part of the game and the challenge, but still.Īs far as EU4 is concerned, I've only watched a few "let's play" videos about it. you often have to wait quite a while to do something and your options are limited. I really enjoyed it so far and think it's quite interesting.īut there's one thing that bothered me a bit, namely that it often feels very "constrained", i.e. I know how the basics work, marriage, dynasties, claims, de jure, counties/duchies/kingdoms etc., casus belli and so on. To clarify, I already downloaded the demo for CK2, played it a bit and watched several good guide videos for it online. However, recently my enthusiasm has increased and I did some research on both of them. Alright, so despite having played TW games for many years and being a major strategy fan, I've never touched a Paradox game yet unfortunately.
