If you are ever interested in EU multiplayer, I play in some very regularly scheduled big matches and I can invite you to the relevant Steam groups.
Also I want to try Darkest hour. I want to get good at Vicky II as well as learn Hearts of Iron. That's quite an ambitious lineup for me.
Mobile platform games have definitely come a long way and will continue to do so. I am still playing loads of Europa Universalis IV but I am getting more into Crusader Kings II because there are some absolutely incredible mods I want to get involved with and the online community is pretty solid.
Thanks! I'll let you know if i ever get the urge to play some EU mp!
I like Darkest Hour a lot. I was never really able to get into Heart of Iron 3, that's why I tried Darkest Hour.
Vicky 2 is fun, but a bit too much micro for my taste! Glad to see you like CK2. Fantastic game.
I picked up EUIV over the holidays but haven't played it yet. I bought the save game converter DLC for CK2 with the express purpose of one long continuous game that began in 867 and ends in 1820-something (I forget EUIV's end date).
So far my CK2 game is around the year 1250, I've played it "round robin" style, whenever my character dies, I randomly pick another character to play from that moment on. So far I've played as both an Ethiopian duke and the king of Abyssinia, as king I conquered Nubia and Egypt and formed the Ethiopian Empire, which is still a power to reckon with two hundred years later. I played as the head of the Umayyids in Spain and attempted to push up north of the Pyrenees into southern France, the resulting Crusade was quite successful. And two orders of crusader knights appeared and with the kingdom of Leon have not only completely taken over the Iberian peninsula and reconverted it all to Catholicism, but took advantage of the crumbling Umayyid empire and have taken overeverything from Morocco to Tunis. As the Roman (Byzantine) Emperor I retook land last in southern Italy and Sicily, took over Jerusalem, and pushed north into the Caucasus Mountains, and much of what's directly north of the Black Sea, and helped convert Pagan Ruthenia to Orthodoxy, who in turn converted westward all the way to Poland and the Baltic coast. Presently Orthodox Ruthenia extends all the way into Finland and is at war with the Catholic crusading Teutonic Knights to fight over whether Finland will be Catholic or Orthodox. As Persia I converted to Zoroastrianism and single-handedly revived Zoroastrianism back into the state religion of the Persian Empire.
Currently the Mongols have appeared from the east, the Ilkhanate has swallowed up everything from the Aral Sea to the Euphrates, and to the Persian Gulf, and subsequently converted to Zoroastrianism--so Zoroastrian Mongol hordes. The Golden Horde appeared east of the Urals, spread west and have everything between the Ural mountains to Orthodox Ruthenia and Catholic Russia. Most of that land is either Jewish or Orthodox, so I'm curious to see if or to what religion the Golden Horde will convert to.
I own the Sunset Invasion DLC, so it'll be interesting when the Aztecs appear from the Atlantic and set their swords upon Western Europe. Most of western and central Europe remains embroiled in a family feud going back to Charlemagne; as such the Karling family owns everything from England and Wales to Germany, France, and Aquitaine, to Castille and Carpathia (the unification of the states of Hungary and Bohemia). If they can somehow pull together, they may survive the coming invasion from the West.
Needless to say, this is proving a most interesting game, and I'm quite excited to see it keep going in EUIV.

EU4 does end in 1820. I have an extended timeline that runs from 58 AD to 2100. I really want to play from them, but as a minor nation because the Roman Empire would be too cracked.
Your CK2 plays sound ridiculously fun. Have you played anything in Sons of Abraham yet? We should play multiplayer sometime.
Age of Empires seems much more enjoyable - my favorites being the Mongols...EU4 does end in 1820. I have an extended timeline that runs from 58 AD to 2100. I really want to play from them, but as a minor nation because the Roman Empire would be too cracked.

I've been in a retro mood lately. Just finished two runs of Jade Empire (one Open Palm, one Closed Fist) and just beat Thief: Deadly Shadows about 3 hours ago.
The love for CKII makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.
If you guys have a game going some time throw me a PM. I'd love to join in.

Paradox games are so good. The only issue I have with the new ones are the lack of events. That's why I am back playing Darkest Hour. There is literally thousands of events.
Darkest Hour is great if you like the WW2 era. It uses the Hearts of Iron 2 engine though so the graphics might turn you off. The events allow you to take one nation a ton of different directions, especially with the Kaiserreich mod. For example, you can take the USA anywhere from a democracy, to a fascist dictatorship to a military dictatorship to a communist state, just by events. Add's a lot of replay value. Right now I am playing a campaign as the French Republic in exile in North Africa and I ended up restoring the French Empire under one of Napoleons descendants, although I kept the constitution so I have a prime minister and not absolute power. Next goal is to retake France from the Communist revolution that grips it
Hey Redac, I see you have the Assassin's insignia as your avatar. What's your favorite AC game?
I haven't had a chance to play III or IV yet unfortunately. That said, II was my favorite of the ones I've played. Cool setting, good gameplay, and a nice little personal bonus for me since I've seen a lot of the locations the game happens in.
