I own all the Ck2/Eu4 stuff, and Ill probably pick up the Vicky 2 stuff when I get into it.

All the Vicky 2 stuff (literally all of it) was 5 bucks a month or two ago. I would have let you know if I knew you were gonna play....

I almost got March of Eagles during the sale but then I remembered that it will never be patched or expanded and it's supposed to only be good multi.

I like mapgames but I am terrible at them. Especially anything involving a navy.

I recently bought Victoria 2 and Ricky and I'm trying to learn how to play them

CoP is probably the most worthless DLC unless you wanna play native americans...WoN is the other good one with changes to trade.

res publica is good because of national focus but the other stuff you dont really need unless youre gonna be a merchant republic. i hear the polish elective monarchy thing is kind of broken as well?

I wish I didn't play as conservatively as I tend to in these since it makes it a huge pain to be a Khanate like crimea or w/e. Maybe I should just go all out next time I play it.

I don't even really watch that any more, but it was interesting for a while, to learn the tips and tricks, and only in crusader kings 2 because in all the other games nothing actually happens.

Just a couple days ago all the DLC was like 75-90% off.

Yeah I got all the EU4 DLCs I didn't have for like $10. Decided to play a game as the Ottomans. Wanting to do the mission 'Conquer the Levant', but unsure if I should wait for the Mamelukes to fall apart (if they will) or just go for it.

He has good ideas when playing EU4, but he's got tunnel vision or something. Like he prioritises prestige over army trad when taking missions and he gets distracted doing poo poo that doesn't even matter in the scheme of his goals.

did he ever show himself on camera, a few months ago he said he was considering it but then he was talking about shaving his head because his wife was going on vacation for a month

Just go for it. the Mamluks crumble really easily and once you take Damascus and a few other rich provinces in the Levant they don't really pose a threat if you're busy somewhere else

Cool. I'll give it a shot. I just finished eating most of Bosnia, Serbia, Wallachia and Moldavia, but I didn't full annex them because I didn't want the AE and I don't really understand the best way to vassal feed.
