The problem with EU IV ...

[GrounchoVilla]

... it's basically just as useful as a paperweight right before the big dlc patch comes out. No, a paperweight is more useful. At least you can use it to weigh things down. All I get from playing EU IV are ironman games that will be obsolete in a couple days.

I guess I can always just listen to Tom Petty play The Waiting ... not because its a good song of course, because it isn't.

1.12 and 1.8 are really the only patches where I've been unable to play the public version. In 1.8 it was mainly because of the map, in 1.12 it's because I just can't go back to the old building/fort system. Otherwise I generally keep playing the live version right up to the release.

So yea. Thanks for rubbing it in.

You can still complete a game under the previous version thanks to the beta system.

The weeks before an expansion are usually when I start playing CKII again, and vice versa.

It's that feeling of "this'll be so much better with the next expansion" not so much savegame compatibility.

Truth, I stopped playing Eu4 once Art of War was announced, and common sense.

We can know release of new patch or dlc many days before release date. We we can finish previous game before unable to load save file, and what's the problem? Do you want this game not to be developed any further?

 

[Mafiabrett]

The only problem I ever have with new dlc/expansion content. Especially knowing 1-2 months ahead of its release. I tend to stop playing the game until then because I feel like I'd be missing out on features that would enhance my gameplay if I just wait a few more weeks (aka playing a game that's not fully complete when it technically is). Its hard to describe haha but I think most players have experienced that feeling.

Wiz, you are a terrible terrible tease. I both love and hate you for it.

the problem is theres such a major ck2 dlc also coming out soon that i cant bring myself to play the crappy version of ck2 out right now in comprison

if nothing else, dat optimisation

 

[WSnova]

I can´t play either CK2 or EU4.

Well back to HOI3, I still have to git gud

 

[AluminumSoldier]

It's these times that I experiment with different mods. Having a blast with the GoT mod for CK2 right now, as I wait for Common Sense.

 

[ThePatriotOfDreumel]

If you don't have the time to do a full game, go for a easier achievement, play a mod, there is so much that you can do!

 

[matk]

I'm trying as hard as possible to finish a couple longer games (heavy on micro) that I have going on. Also, Castile -> HRE, Poland -> join HRE -> Commonwealth -> Prussia -> Russia, etc. Games with big, meaty countries.

I've held off starting another Bavaria game, or finally trying Teutonic/Livonia Orders or Milan. This seems like the patch for that kind of thing.

Wait, no. I have no money.

I admit, before the next big expansions I usually lay off the EU4, but for the few weeks after a new DLC I no longer have spare time. I usually play a few games to completion and then wait for the next DLC because I figure I might as well wait for the new features.
