How similar are EU4 and Victoria 2?

Well u guys convinced me, at least. Ive yet to bite on any pdox titles since trying ck2 and disliking it (i know it's blasphemous to say that around here lol). However, eu4 is my favorite game in years, so that plus some of the things im reading here make it sound worth checking out.

Vicky2 and EU3 are more similar than Vicky2 and EU4 from what I've seen and heard, so yeah.

Also VII soundtrack is second to none.

Off topic, but I'd argue civ4 had the greatest soundtrack of any game ever made, not to mention just being the best game ever made overall. I even burned a cd of the renaissance and industrial age music and listened to it in my car sometimes.

I personally don't listen to it as it is just too boring.. because I have played so much V2. Which is a good point towards V2.

Regarding the topic of the thread, I feel that while Victoria 2 and EU 4 are different games, there are still more similarities between it (V2) and EU4 than betweeen EU4 and CK2. The reason for this is that it has some of the same Geopolitical/Alliance gameplay of EU4 that CK2 lacks. Besides that they are totally different game, but both are also some of the best games ever made.

Civ 4 I mainly remember as spamming workers and doomstacks. So many doomstacks. Good game nonetheless.

I really think the main theme of VII is just super catchy. It sounds like a waltz that the nobles at a royal court would do.

Hey, allthough Civ4 is a bit off topic i must say that its much of the same music as in EU2. I love it though. ^_^
