Where is everyone???

[oddible]

OK, so maybe everyone is still so wrapped up in playing Victoria that everyone forgot to buy this game? I mean I saw poor reviews on GameSpot and all but the Paradox crew have such a great rep and have provided endless hours of entertainment - where is everyone? I see this game grouped with Svea Rike and CoTN, is it a mini game then like those?

Guess I'm not buying this one. Hmm...

I just got the game, along with CK, so hopefully I will love it.

Yes it is, basically it is a CotN-Mod with a different map, two new additional kinds of Units and some additional historical events. Like CotN, it is kinda funny, easy to learn and easy to play, even on very hard, but for experienced paradoxians not much of a challenge (read. NO at all! ). It is a nice beer & pretzels game for the unwashed masses unfamiliar with EU2 and it's kin, not more nor less...

If You have already played and enjoyed EU2 and/or Victoria, I'd recommend You buy Crusader Kings instead...

oh my.

Is there anything on the flip-side? I actually bought CotN before I had played EUII. Found this great community and lots of recommendation to install the EUII that was included. Glad I did.

Would actually recommend it (CotN) as a trainer for EUII or Vicky. Get the basics without the rush of getting thrown into complete mayhem.

Nope, no flip side this time, only TT and nothing else on the CD...

CotN and TT are indeed a good introduction into Paradox games, but unfortunatley, I bought CotN after one year of already playing EU2, so I was somewhat disappointed. But OTOH, it included the english (Strategy First) version of EU2, too, which was much better than the crappily translated german version I already possessed , so I came out somewhat ahead.

Thank you guys you just saved me $20 I'm on the way back to the store right now before I open the box to get my money back!

Make sure you take that $20 and order CK from Paradox.

Two Thrones was diverting for a weekend. But beyond that not much.

Well it seems that SF has been dropped as the publisher, and NA release will be September. Paradox will now self-publish in NA with distributing help from Atari.
