Hi everyone, Does anyone here play their games? Like, let's say Crusader Kings 2, Cities in Motion (I know CiM2 will be released sometime today actually) etc. Reason why I mention CiM is that I have resisted of getting SimCity and to me it looks like something that could potentially fill in the Simcity void :D Just to name a a few; I have at least one point or another played the Europa Universalis and Hearts of Iron series, had HoI3 at least (not a clue where it is now though). So I have a rough idea what their games are generally like. My question is this; do you have any suggestions what games from them to get at the moment? I've been looking into CK2 quite a bit, but I can't really say just from gameplay videos, would it be ok or in comparison to other Paradox games, better than some others. I also know EU4 is coming out later this year, but like I mentioned in one of my previous postings, I have enough games that I'm already waiting (to be released) and none at the moment that I would like to get as such or undecided on some, shall I say. So any advice or suggestions on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Cities in Motion isn't really a city builder, its entirely focused on managing a transportation system. 

Crusader Kings 2 is wonderful though, you just have to take the time to learn it. It's one of my favorite games from last year.

Thanks for the quick reply. CK2 does look interesting and I have noticed that it might take a while to learn, but I don't mind that at all to be honest. Refreshing these days to actually have a game that has some depth to it. Have you played any of their other, similar-type of games? How does it compare if you have? I gathered that about CiM, but I was just wondering, with the new one coming out just about now, that it does have some features that make it city-building(ish). I don't know really, I have recently realised how bloody diffifult it is to actually find a decent city-building game. SimCity, even if you don't see the online-always bad, has a huge amount of problems (traffic, small maps etc.), Cities XL seems to have issues with memory leaks and poor performance, Sim City 4, albeit probably being better than either of those, is old and I would rather buy more recent one than that, Anno 2070 I have read about quite a bit as well, and have mixed feelings about. Decisions, decisions...
