Buy a game

[chargers1783]

I have a lot of money to spend and I don't know what games to spend it on, I really like strategy games. Any suggestions? I already have the TW's, Victoria 2, Civ 5, and obviously Mount & Blade games.

Edit: Should've used the sticky topic. Locked.

Actually, that topic is quite an outdated list of free games, people still use it to inform each other about stuff they find though.

 

[chargers1783]

So this topic is alright and not against the rules of the board?

 

[Lost-Lamb]

That'd explain why I unlocked it

Good now I can sleep easily tonight, now please I would love suggestions.

If you liked Vicky 2, I'd definetly suggest Europa Universalis 3- just make sure you get the chronicles edition,  as that has all of the expansions.

I've considered it, I do have questions, I love the games but I'm really bad at them is Europa harder or easier? And does it involve more wars? I know these games are 95% peace and 5% war but I never see wars where there are alot of gains, Is Europa like this or do countries become larger quicker?

Yes and no. You CAN completely take over a country in a couple of years, but you'll take a massive infamy hit if they're big, and infamy is very bad. Small trading powers iwll be at peace a lot. Large empires will almost always be at war.

Sounds better than Vicky, playing as USA I only went to war with Mexico in 20 years. Was bored out of my mind for that time.

Hearts of Iron 2 complete pack is better

I heard and have seen that HoI 2 is very complicated. I'm looking more for a easy to understand game that I can glance at the tutorial and know the whole game. (Not literally)

 

[Lord Burgess1]

It's easier than EU and Victoria.

 

[chargers1783]

The reviews have lied to me then.

Red Alert 2, maaaan. Its awesome.

 

[Lord Burgess1]

The reviews have lied to me then. 

Well it's easier as far as there is less to manage, the combat has more factors affecting it, so it is harder, but is easier to learn.

 

[chargers1783]

I will try both HOI 2 and Europa, I don't know about Red Alert 2, I've never played a red alert or have saw any plathroughs.
