      This, it’s a great game and it’s easy to have fun even if you’re shit at it.

      CK3 is actually better for beginners
      CK2 has a thousand different mechanics going on at the same time

    Forgot to add, I've only played Civ V, I have like 1k on it and I had heard of Paradox games a lot so I might as well try them.

      Adding to this, are the DLCs necessary or you're fine with just the base game?

    Best music, best gameplay, teaches you European history because it's event driven rather than a sandbox.

          you know how people tend to say that paradox games are always shit on release and that there's like 2 exceptions to that rule?
          imperator was not one of those exceptions and it didn't get very much support at all
          so it stayed shit

    CK3 is the most accessible to new players.

    the 2 easiest ones are ck3 and stellaris (idc what anyone says, i understood stellaris under 20 hours while it took me around 60 to fully grasp what the frick i was doing in ck2)
    ck3 you play as a ruler of a county/duchy/kingdom/empire, your goal is generally "do whatever", if you want to just rp then you can just rp with your character, if you want to conquer everything around you then you can, it's basically a game of thrones simulator with none of the magic (except for the rare event here and there)
    realistically, i'd get used to ck3 and then jump to ck2, ck2 just has a lot more content than ck3, and considering the dev time between dlcs i'm gonna guess it's gonna stay that way for a long time, so learn basics through 3, jump to 2 once you're bored of 3
    stellaris is closer to a civ game but in real time, as in it's a 4x game rather than a map painter. you conquer systems, build planets up, produce ships, etc. stellaris is more of a map painter than ck, the main goal is, ideally, to conquer. there's a bunch of stuff you can do to achieve that goal tho.

    if you don't mind bashing your head against a wall for like 60 hours before everything finally starts to click and you have a full grasp of what the frick is going on/what you're doing then just skip straight to ck2 and don't leave. start as ireland for a good first time experience.

    some people would argue eu4 but eu4 has a massive problem where the game just has too many fricking features at this point that i, generally, tell newcomers to not get into it because they'll very likely give up before having a grasp of basic mechanics. not that it's a super deep game, it isn't, every mechanic is rather simple, there's just too many mechanics to keep track of for new players.

    Why not learn a 4x or an actual war game instead of awful overpriced goyslop, advertiser-kun?

      Not OP, but what would you recommend? I really like Gary Grigsby's War in the East and also Rome: Total War with the Europa Barbarorum mod.

      Like what? Aurora4x? Goyslop 4x you people usually recommend is toddler tier in terms of strategic depth.

    CK3 or Stellaris. CK3 is more along the lines of a typical paradox grand strategy minus the dlc bloat while Stellaris is more along the lines of a 4X grand strategy hybrid but has an unholy amount of dlc that the game feels incomplete without.

    AI will cheat no matter what hence their games are only enjoyable with around 20-32+ males in their own respective teamspeak channels decided by their continent and general location. but then on the other hand you have 30 autists screaming into the mic and at least 5 of them are going to start to jerk off mid-game. in other words pick your poison

      Thanks! Field of Glory Empires looks very good. I'll try it out seeing that it's from the same devs for Gary Grigsby's.

      That game is meh. I like that they made a dlc for ancient Persia though that’s pretty cool, but even then it’s not that fun. It’s good for a handful of play throughs; every country plays exactly the same and building buildings is random

      CK3 isn't nearly as bad as a lot of Anons say, in fact it has great bones but theirs a huge lack of content and DLC takes forever to come out. Shit even when it does come out its underwhelming as frick

    CK2 is only hard if you're playing with all dlc installed for your first playthrough. Play vanilla for your first 3-4 playthroughs then start with the dlc you find most interesting then after 100 hours start with the dlc that looks gay as frick. You can't just hop into a game and expect to learn everything first go around, this isn't civilization
