Victoria 2 (and indeed Victoria if there's still anyone left playing it here)

I figured out where everything was in a few hours, but I'm still not good enough to classifly myself as a decent player.

EU3, yes, but I had about 40 hours of failed games before I learnt to play properly. Still learning new stuff, thanks to the forums.

Okay, thanks for the replies. It's the last copy in the shop - I think they want to get rid of it. I'll go get it and hope I can get to grips with it eventually (spent more time on EU2 than any other game ever, and then eventually gave up!).

Expect a bit of difference. Even outside of the EU to Vicky transition. Eu2 was very on rails, EU3/Vicky 2 are quite more sandboxy. A lot of people complain on the paradox forums.

My problem with EU2 was that I couldn't find the rails! No matter how much research I did I simply could not understand how to find any sort of strategy that led anywhere other than to disaster. I followed a model plan to get going and it worked as far as it went but then I didn't have a clue. I tried several times again with the same model but the model never worked again!

I should be okay with Vicky2 provided I can suss some sort intuition of what sort of strategy to follow.

Thanks for your advice.

$19.99 on Impulse. I'm tempted to grab it for that price even though I won't likely have time to play it for quite some time....

What do you think? Do these games tend to maintain their price for awhile or if I wait a few months will it cost this much anyhow?

It was $12 on steam a few weeks ago.
