Don't get ME started. Recommending a pre-alpha game and a game that is not even released and has never been played....
Well, given that it's made by the same people who made the original series (which was awesome) I think it's safe to look forwards to a game to say the least. Sure, it could be a let down, but any game could be. Where would we be if we didn't trust in the abilities of any games studio to produce good games? Depressed as hell, that's where. Also like to point out that playing a pre-alpha game wouldn't really prove anything, because, well, pre-alpha :P

Just bought a game called Black and White 2 - i will tell you what i think once played it - looks f***ing hilarious though
i'm reviving this shit because of this. This game is my childhood, great game!
Amazing and hilarious game, although the expansion, Battle of the Gods was a bit meh.

Rust is in alpha and I must say it's the best £15 i've spent on an early access game. It's all ready equal to DayZ and much much better than WarZ (Infestation), absolute must buy.

Yes, they are good games. Pacific is much better than Midway, get that one. It had much more missions, plus it had something vital that Midway did not, Kamikazes.

EU4 is much more big picture than CK2. I started playing EU4 and loved it, then I was convinced to get CK2 because it's quite similar in a lot of ways. However, I was sort of disappointed by it. Not to say it isn't a good game, but it's not to my tastes, and was less intuitive than EU4. The one that really annoyed me was the mercenaries. To take over a neighbouring province, I hired mercenaries (which is a commonplace activity in EU4), they costed me an arm and a leg, but I needed them because my own armies weren't sufficient. Then, when I had almost won the siege, I ran out of money to pay them. Now, in EU4, you can simply take out loans when needed, no questions asked. Your mercenaries would stay on, as they are still being paid. However, in CK2 you simply go straight into debt, which puts you in a rather bad position. The mercenaries, instead of simply disbanding, which would be logical, actually turn against you, and so I was utterly destroyed (I was a minor figure) by these mercenaries (and my other enemies).
The tutorials failed to mention anything like this being possible (at least from what I could figure out of them, as they weren't logically ordered, so I may have missed some).

To sum up, EU4 is a game which is intuitive, and relatively easy, at least if you are playing as a medium-large nation to start off, and, once you have the hang of it, it's possible to still do well, even if you begin with 2 provinces. You control vast armies, and take over the world by ganging up on the larger powers and crushing small neighbours. The mods for it (from Steam Workshop) are quite good, and change it up a bit, as in the Vanilla there's a couple of nations who always dominate. These are broken up into smaller factions in some mods, and mechanics are also changed in other mods. It's one of my favourite games.

CK2, from my brief experiences, does not have the same intuitive interface, and requires a comprehension of the complexities of it to not get fucked over. Once you have that, it probably is a great game, but I wasn't bothered to get that far.
I'm probably not doing it the justice it deserves (I've heard glowing reviews of it) so hopefully someone else can better explain it.

Eu4 is more basic and slightly easier to get into, and ck2 is a little more daunting at first but ends up being far easier once you get the hang of it. I personally played EUIII before ck2 came out, but I was never really able to get into either of them until I had more experience with ck2, which prepared me for EUIII/IV as well.

Eu4 can be figured out relatively easily on your own, but for ck2 I'd recommend watching this guy's introduction series:

CK2 is more political based about getting land through marriage - but i play it as a war simulator and make up claims then declare war and conquer ;)

Love the game
