What is Reddit's opinion of Europa Universalis?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Could this indicate that the game will focus heavily on characters like ck2? Or could this be just a loading screen similar to eu4.

Europa Universalis 4. http://www.europauniversalis4.com/

It is the time period from when crusader kings ends until 1821. Its a totally different play style from ck2. I think the learning curve is a little harder than ck2 as well. Much fun once you start to figure it out though.

Du får gärna fråga! Vi är ett gäng personer som varje söndag bestämmer oss för att spela http://www.europauniversalis4.com/

Ett spel som går ut på att styra ett land från 1400-1800 intriger och krig är något som är en konstant för de flesta medans en del försöker med en mer fredlig väg och bygger upp sitt land.

Vi skriver sedan i den här tråden vad vi har gjort och våran syn på världen.

The only game I have ever preordered for 50$ was Europa Universalis IV from Paradox Interactive, mostly for the great bonuses (a free game amongst them) and because I thought they deserved every penny.

Since I was jobless at that time, I literally saved money from my allowance my parents gave me (I am freaking 29) to survive.

I was there ,waiting at launch date, with all the fanfare. It was really a high point in a dark time in my life. The game goes live and it is freaking unplayable. Lags all over the place. I am forced to wait 1.5 month for a patch to make it play, and the worst of the worst is that by that time the game is at regular sales at 15$ and lower.

Pre-Orders, Never again.

It almost turned me back to piracy , but Steam held me from descending to that place.

While completely different in style and gameplay, I found the Paradox Grand Strategy Games are hitting right on target. Quasi turn-based and at least the same level of complexity. I like Europa Universalis IV a lot and there's also quite an active subreddit for it, /r/eu4

You can look into grand strategy games like Crusader Kings 2 or Europa Universalis 4. These games are multiplayer empire building games.

You might get a little something out of it but it looks to me that the 220 is what would be limiting your speed vice the CPU. I say this as the EU4 recommended CPU is the Pentium 4 2.4ghz which performs substantially below the Celeron you already have. While the minimum requirement for a GPU is the Geforce 8800 (512mb) which performs a lot better than the 220. You might be better off buying a new(er) GPU vice the CPU.

Right click on EU4 i your steam library -> Properties -> Beta tab. 1.9.2 isn't really a beta version, it's an old version.

I'm guessing that this won't help though. I think your problem is your graphics card.

The minimum system specs from http://www.europauniversalis4.com/support are:

Minimum System requirements: Operating system: Mac OS X 10.6.8 or better

Processor: Intel Core Duo Processor (2GHz or better)

Memory: 2 GB RAM

Hard disk space: 2 GB

Video Card: ATI Radeon HD 6750 / NVIDIA GeForce 320 / NVIDIA GeForce 9600 or higher, 1024MB graphics memory required. Additional: GLSL 1.3, OpenGL 2.1

I'm using a Radeon HD 5750 with 1024 MB, so technically you can drop a little below the minimum specs, but I think you're too far below.

Not in the genre of games you listed, but Europa Universalis IV has a stupidly high amount of re-playability if you like these kinds of games. There's Also a Crusader version of it if you prefer an early time period + more in-depth RPG elements.

If you're bored and just looking for a game to be silly in with some degree of competitiveness, check out Fistful of Frags, it's also free btw.

Try out Europa Universalis IV if you like grand strategy games, also Crusade Kings II by the same developer. You can get it from Humble Bundle for just over $6 and that includes other games too
