peace is for pussies and french  :D
I myself have no problems with warfare in this game. I have really enjoyed my journey as the Abbadid dynasty so far, although my proudest moment is still my diplo-annexation of the Emirate of Toledo. I seriously felt awesome at that moment.

2nd place goes to the moment when I crushed the rebellion of Sheik of Granada. I seized the sheikdom from him, and through that got myself a province with total income of 85-90 or so. Felt damn awesome, and the state's coffers loved it too.

Success like this definitely feels welcome after that pathetic game as de Normandie family.

I mean that the only historical grand strategy games I've played, is Total War and Sid Meirs Civilization Series. :P

I have not played the Victoria Series, Crusader King Series or even the Europa Universalis Series. I've seriously missed out on some good games.

You can always use Steam. If you don't feel like doing that...well...

This game is yet another I can't understand. It's a bit too complicated imo. And it would be so much more fun if the map was in different colors like in the EU games and HoI. I think that's more fun than just having a line that you move around.

Keep calm and move along.

It is complicated but that is probably what makes it better.

Also you can turn on the colors.

and now my oil shortages have forced me to move to the middle east, with my armies ready to go for Iraq and Saudi Arabia

Seems Bulgaria was fed up with being a relatively unknown country.

Everyone guess what country I would play as if I ever played that game again :P

Impressive.
Yeah, I'm having the same problems with oil shortages.  But I don't have the benefit of being able to stomp over the middle east so I have to make a ton of synthetic fuel plants.

It is so complicated I couldn't figure out how to switch on colors.
Just do what I do for games with a brickwall of a learning curve. 

Run into that brickwall until it crumbles.  :D

Thats how it always goes.
Attack somebody and then someone else behind you attacks you.

That might work :D
Works on most games.  :P

Okay, just downloaded Crusader Kings 2 on Steam. I really don't understand much. Haven't even figured out how to recruit soldiers yet or how this duchy system works.

Keep calm and move along.

It's pretty complicated, and I'm constantly afraid to make a mistake that will bring my nation to ruin.

And it would be more fun if you could play as Pagan...

Also, I heard you could rename countries you control, but I haven't figured out how. Otherwise I could amuse myself for a little while with that.

you can't train soldiers in the normal RTS way, what you can do is either raise your vassals levies or hire mercs


and in other news, took France, Belgium and Holland today, next step - Germany

You can raise troops in the provinces directly owned by you, this is the option to go for against small rebelions and peasant uprisings.
But the main bulk of your army will have to come from your vassals.

Just for the record there is an AMAZING game of thrones mod for ck2, you can play as one of  the main houses or even as a petty lord never mentioned in books or series.

So yeah, this game is awesome
