Eu2 1.09

**L'Impresario** · 12-02-2005, 13:04

Last time I played extensively was many months ago, maybe with patch 1.04 or 1.05. For a strange reason I had many CTDs with 1.07, so I sort of abandoned the game.
I wonder if I'll notice drastic changes from 1.04/05 to 1.09, though it seems a good incentive for reinstalling the game.
Definately it's really impressive that they keep pulling out patches after so long.

Last time I played this game it was with 1.07... when i get over my Civ4 addiction (and/or EB and Hegemonia TW mods aren't out yet...) I'll give it a rerun. Loved that game!

What about the Vicky patch? I was eagerly awaiting it for ages... still am, actually!!!

Can anyone tell me if they solved the problem of the AI forgetting it's plan which caused it to become dormant once you got well into the game?

How can you discern that Yuuki?
Ofcourse I remember in my first campaigns with powerful nations, that after a tedious beginning, you can start conquering the world quite easily, to the point where the challenge is whether you 'll be able to hold more than 50% of the world before the time runs out (though some nasty events can be a setback to such aspirations).
I also just installed EU and the patch and started a (supposedly) suicidal Byzantium Grand Campaign in normal, but around 1450 or so I 'm thinking of setting it to Hard, as even after some inicial vicious Ottoman attacks and financial problems, I've started annexing some of my weaker neighbours..

I don't know how it was determined. Tempiic told me the game had this problem. So, eventhough I bought the game I never played it for that reason. I wasn't inclined to climb the learning curve only to find that the SP game was broken.

Sorry to say so, but this sounds a bit absurd heh
I had played an entire Grand Campaign with vanilla EU2 and I didn't even this could the reason it was easy after a while. Now, it seems that each patch version (I 've tried 4 so far) gets somewhat harder - a natural thing with the AI tweaks. The learning curve is also not that prohibiting for just checking the game out (see Vicky and HOI).
I can only say that it's definate worth a try, you might even get a bit addicted;)
