I recently picked up ck complete, which lead me to exploring other classic paradox titles, including ftg.
I was interested in trying a classic grand campaign, which traditionally consisted of ck>eu2>vicky>hoi2. Now, eu2 isn't available on steam, and in any case sounds unecessary in light of ftg, so the question is how well ftg can be used in the sequence. After a little digging, it sounds like the internal ck converter should work fine, as an eu2 save file should work fine in ftg once I change the extension to .eeg. The problem is going from ftg to vicky as ftg doesn't have an internal converter, however I was able to find one for download from here: http://www.paradoxian.org/vickywiki/index.php/EU2Vic. I'm hoping that if I use the agceep country files provided, it will work since agceep is the basis for ftg.
Has anyone tried a grand campaign this way? Did it work well?
