Victoria 2 and A House Divided expansion game keys giveaway

[Voigtkampf]

In case you were keen on Victoria 2 as well as its expansion A House Divided, here is your chance to get the keys for both. Don't be shy, give it a shot.

[Beskar]

New expansion out soon, Heart of Darkness.

[Voigtkampf]

Amazing how little interest there is in this game... This was thought as a prize game for those that might be interested in Heart of Darkness but didn't have Vic2 and House Divided expansion, but once again, I can't believe how little interest there is to take a free game.

[Beskar]

Hah, I already own it, so entering the competition would be taking it from some one who most likely doesn't have it.

Main problem with Victoria 2 is that it is heavy in industrial development factor. Many people I know who have gotten into EU3 or CK2 end up saying comments like "There is nothing to do!" "its boring". Though admittedly, that isn't as bad as HoI3's "what am I meant to do?!" "I just sit there with AI on" "I have 1232939253209 units which need to be singularly controlled?!"

[Voigtkampf]

As things stand, I might not even find the five folks to give the keys away... Bit ridiculous, isn't it?

[Hooahguy]

I would enter but I have so much on my plate I have almost no time for gaming, especially not the time required to learn a game like V2.

Ouch. Sorry to hear.

[LittleGrizzly]

It is something I have some interest in but admittedly I have always found the games very hard to get into, there is an incredibly high learning curve though I think I might love it once I got into it...

Recently been laid off as well so plenty of time on my hands.

Twitter and Facebook?! Gah!

I will have to have a think on it.

[Alexander the Pretty Good]

I already have it or I'd have jumped at the chance, Voitkampf. I think most people interested in Paradox games already have Vicky 2 (and thus AHD), and that goes double for people who browse game forums and like Paradox games.

I'm still terrible at the economic side of things, which is why I prefer CK2 and EU3.

[xploring]

I am interested but the learning curve for Vicky 2 just feels too daunting, when I haven't even mastered ck2 or eu3. If it is eu4, I would jump at it too. You are so nice with these giveaway though, I will follow you anyway.

[Csargo]

I don't use twitter or facebook, so . I did play Vicky quite a bit and loved the game even though it had quite the learning curve. Very fun, so I don't see why there's not much interest in this giveaway.

[Sarmatian]

Bah, another Facebook "most likes win" competition.

I refuse to be a part of it, it's immoral and wrong. It's only okay when I do it :)

[Beskar]

Heart of Darkness has now been released. Admittedly, going to wait for it to go on sale.

[Sarmatian]

From reading on Pdox forum, there's still some issues to iron out, most notably insane dominion release. Within the first month, Portugal releases Mozambique, than colonizes the rest of it and release it as Confederacy of Mozambique, then colonize another state in that are and release it as Mozambique Confederacy. Also, it releases Goa which becomes India, so we have India from the start as one province minor looking at the British possessions, which also means you can't create India with Punjab for example since it already exists as an OPM.

[Greyblades]

Bought it, installed it, then realized I had to go to uni in the morning, stupid human need for long sleep.

I'd try to save your blushes, Voigtkampf, unfortunately I'm like Csargo, and don't use Facebook or Twitter.

[Voigtkampf]

Got some ten entries in the end and gave all the keys away.

Nah, blushes are not on my part - I am kind of said that people are not that interested in Paradox games. But on the other hand, as Alexander the Pretty Good said, people interested in it most probably already have it.

No more like on FB and follow on Twitter games. Next one is - paint me an oil painting if you want to get this game. Or write me a sonnet.

Oh, Victoria, what a game
to have a British queen for a name
oh, how I wish to play thou,
I wish you were on my computer right now
with a second expansion they worsen my thirst
and they haven't even balanced the first
Will Germany ever form
or will NGF become the norm
now there's too many dominions
to be conquered by my minions
I will now wait for the patch
because with P'dox, that's the catch

Do I win anything? :)

[Monk]

Do I win anything? :)

My heart.

[Sarmatian]

My heart.

You old flatterer...

As is completely realistic. Didn't you hear about our Pink Map and the 25 Portuguese Dominions it included? :)

[Voigtkampf]

Definitely. Got an iPad?

[Beskar]

I have to ask, was my entry eligible?

Not that I wanted the prize, I only sent it in to boost the numbers, only double checking I even entered correctly!

[Sarmatian]

Definitely. Got an iPad?

Nope. A good old fashioned desktop PC and older model of Galaxy Tablet, if it makes a difference.

Sent you something in PM, hope you can use it and have fun with it.

[Sarmatian]

Well, Voigtkampf delivered and I've got a cool new game. I won't tell you which one, 'cause I want you to be jealous, my poetically challenged orgahs. :D

Thanks, amigo.
