Hoi2 was pretty good
Eu2 was pretty good
Eu4 was good for a couple years before it got ran into the ground
Imperator is good, too

HOI4 is better because it has better combat.

Me too, at least in a spiritual sense. I am an absolute EXPERT at Victoria 2. I can do the hardest challenges in that game.have a very deep understanding of the game's systems.
I also was obsessed with having the hardest start possible in Crusader Cucks 2. I gave myself all of the negative traits and only increased my char's health, so he wouldn't die immediately. I edited the game files, so I could give him even worse traits. Sadly they usually disappear after a single generation, so it's just a delayed count start with a randomly generated character, who has the harelip trait, instead of every single negative genetic trait in existence.

But there is something missing, anon. You need to complete the trifecta. It's time to master Hearts of Iron 3. I can win as Germany in the Götterdämmerung scenario on very hard. I can win, even if I teleport all my units back to Berlin at game start, so that the allies can take France. I can play as Communist China and win the Chinese Civil War, while starting out in a war with all other Chinese countries.

>1000 in CK2
how?
its unironically just playing dollhouse
gets stale after like 8 hours

Just succeeded. You can all go fuck yourselves

CK2 is less like a dollhouse and more like a personnel management game crossed with an RPG and a grand strategy game. I still maintain it's one of the GOATs
CK3 is more of a dollhouse game, where you play through wall-of-text tumblr style adventures, and the strategy stuff mostly plays itself so long as you engage with enough dollhouse levelling-up. I stopped playing before any DLCs came out, some new stuff sounds appealing from a role-play perspective (landless/Chinese bureaucracy), and superficially the Byzantine/Chinese systems go to places CK2 never could, but they're still behind where CK2 was 6 years into its life cycle

Try eu3 with all dlcs it runs on the same engine as vic 2. Very small learning curve (trade is super easy) way better mechanics than eu4 (sliders). Only problem is the borders if you play outside of Europe typically are aids and the terrible horde mechanic (fun sometimes if you play in Asia )

I love ck2 and am wondering about my next paradox title, you convinced me to go for victoria 2 as you seem to have great taste

>>2370438
Common Sense (developing with mana) fundamentally ruined the asymmetry that is part of what makes grand strategy games so unique, + it negatively affected a bunch of other things too
