For the Glory (EU+AGCEEP)

[Ar - Adunakhor]

I saw that yesterday and was quite surprised. Only  a year ago I used to play EU2 with AGCEEP extensively. I did't check the paradox forums for some time and now this cookie comes up . Has anyone tried it already? From what I've read it is basicly EU2 with extra features (that should make the difference), some graphical updates (but not too much I suppose - the graphics remain EU2-like - and I like tham that way!), and AGCEEP and one more mod integrated. So basicly in order to be up-to-date and keep playing the most recent AGCEEP mod we'll have to pay 20€ for this new 'platform'.

My cousin bought it for me, and I have to say I'm pleasantly surprised. I haven't played much EU2 to know the difference, but the realistic, event-driven alternate history suits me a lot better than the chaotic system of EU3. The interface is certainly improved, as is the map, sprites, and the AI. You also have a choice; You can play FTG without AGCEEP, or with it. I chose the latter, since the historical accuracy pleases me to no end.

Is it less of a confusing mess?

 

[vadermath]

Define confusing mess. To me, it isn't. But I'd have to know exactly what you didn't like about EUII in order to respond.

I got it recently I didn't spot many changes outside of Unique GFX for some countries and FAR IMPROVED interface

And I believe any newbies at Paradox games thought it was a confusing mess trust me I thought the same until recently.

In my current game I decided to try England and Im doing very well specially since I won the Hundred Years War.

Oh AGCEEP mod by the way.

Edit: Oh I unified Britain by 1460 I just got to wait the Great Britain event to fire now and wait my BB to get back to 0.

I can't remember. All I remember is "Wow, cool idea", and then "confusing mess".

I haven't played EUII for one simple detail: The lack of the ability to view units in the political map mode. Huuuge turnoff, since I never use terrain.

Aye Aye that was annoying but didn't hinder me.

 

[vadermath]

Hindered me as ****.

 

[Sir Siegfried]

Hindered me as ****.

Hehe.

I guess it just didn't hinder me because it was my first Paradox game so maybe I just got used to it.
