*looks around suspiciously* my friend is a bit like this. I'm actually playing two games - trying to grow and trying to also protect my friend regardless of alliance status because if he gets a dose of (very) bad luck, he'll just refuse to play the game.

I hate doing this so much. I have a couple of friends (and a sister) like this. Where I really want to play with them, but sometimes it's something where I'm just straight out better and have to coddle them so they won't ragequit.

I suppose from their end it's not fun to lose time and time again. To which I say, nay! (I think I've played about 100 matches of SFIII, all against my friend when I'm over his house [he owns the game and I don't.] I think I've won like 5, seriously.)

I always try and choose one of the shittiest countries to start as (i.e. a one - province count) and my mate picks a Duchy and when there's vassal trouble or such and he finds difficulty he calls the game bullshit.

EUIV has the lucky nations bullshit which CKII lacks, to my knowledge. Of course you can turn off the lucky nations, but people often forget to do so.

You also require them for ironman/achievements, which is awful.

I always play with lucky nations off, it makes for interesting alternate history in which the blue blob of doom usually cannot survive for more than a decade

^ Not really, if you play with your friends or active CK2 or EU4 MPers at least. We simply save the game if someone has to go, and continue on when everyone is available again. It works like a charm.

Well in practice, unless everyone involved devotes a huge portion of their life to idleness, that means you need to either coordinate a time or it's very unlikely that you'll get more than a session or two in the same game.

Yep, we do that, and it's quite easy to "manage", but again, I only play with experienced & devoted players.

I used to play with someone who would rage quit if they were losing a war or died prematurely in EUIV or CKII.

Lmao, now that behaviour is quite common amongst low/mid elo LoL players for example. Ragequit after 0-6-0 KDA on mid/top...on high elo: ragequitter mode: off ; troll mode: on.

*edit*

Oops, sorry for the double post.

How many games have you played from 769 to the 1400s in singleplayer CKII?

The fact that nobody does it in singleplayer because it takes too long is not a counterargument to the fact that nobody does it in multiplayer because it takes too long.

PS. Johan's reply with regard to gameplay videos: "We will not show any footage of the game before gdc."

GDC is next week isn't it? Hopefully we get to see some playable beta.

The AI approach sound good, hope they can deliver.
