![]() I don't think I'd go back to trying Vicky 1 these days, but it's been so long that I shouldn't say anything about it. While I think the period is fascinating, both Vicky 1 & 2 had their oddities. But biting the bullet and jumping straight into EU4 is probably the best first option for the EU series (because it's the best in nearly every category).Īlthough I've attempted to play the Victoria series, I've always faltered after short starts and went back to the other Pdox games. But when you eventually want to play an EU game which has far more country-specific historical events than EU4, and therefore more historical flavor, you probably want to go straight to For The Glory since it was the final EU2 "kitchen sink" version that included a bunch of mod extras & fixes. I wouldn't recommend the EU2-engined titles, early on, simply due to the old UI. Once it clicks, though, it seems pretty straightforward (and often full of dastardliness of course!). In other words, there is often confusion about how what seems to be two separate facets of the game (family & land) interact with each other, or how to best go about doing it. For that same reason, some people have a very difficult time figuring out how to go about doing things, initially, without watching some video tutorials (more so than other Pdox games listed here). ![]() The CK series is wonderful because it's so different, being a grand strategy game based as much on family dynasty as geographical administration & conquest. Although the original CK encompasses less facets, and may be generally easier to learn, it's UI may be frustrating (as with all the other earlier EU1/2 engined titles). I would just skip EU3, if I were you, because EU4 is better in numerous ways without having a steeper learning curve. It may be the easiest to get into, but at some point you'll find yourself looking to the others for more substance.Īfter that, it's a matter of whether you want to wrestle with the older, more difficult UIs. Maybe we'll eventually get a more extensive sequel someday, but it's the most basic of the bunch IMO. I always found myself wanting more depth to EU:Rome after a short time playing it. Diplomacy, trade, etc is likewise not very deep. The character system is minimal, especially compared to the Crusader Kings series, so don't expect very much interaction there. That said, EU:Rome almost completely consists of moving your armies & invading or defending against it. It also has a more modern UI, so that will also make it easier. For the ones on offer here, I think EU:Rome is probably the most straightforward.
