Do we know if Anym is still interested in playing?

But little Jaufret!

Here's part 10 of the story And here's the link to the new save file Enjoy. I'm sad to say that the other branch of the family have regained control. Stupid electoral system.

Let me write up my last installment and I'll share it with you via dropbox, if that's alright? I'll try and get it done this evening.

I think I'm in Jon's camp when it comes to playing early access games: life is too short and there are plenty of great games waiting for me to play that have been released and patched and balanced. I don't see how anybody has time to play the games that are out, let along earlyaccess games, unless you're just interacting with them on a surface level.

Cordeos is next. Still interested?

Up to 1112AD. More soon!

Next part is up. We enter the time of Pope Hilarious II. Sorry for the time I'm taking... I had a work trip to Brazil last week. Still catching up with my own life, let alone 12thC Southern France.

This will probably be the next game I pick up :-)

Thanks.. although, we're running a variant of elective succession I believe, so I wouldn't need to be followed by my son? Still, it's fun to keep everything in character.. try and do things that are good for the family, but not necessarily great for the player. Which seems to be in keeping with her traits. I have played a bit more, I just need to find time to crop the images and write up the diary. It's surprisingly hard work, as there are so many details that can be potentially mentioned. I'm off to Brazil today with work for a week. I will try and take a copy of the save and my screenshots, and perhaps I'll find time to write up what's been happening while on the plane of something. Who's after me anyway?

ok, part 1 of play reign is up on my blog. https://riadgameblog.wordpress.com/2015/02/22/3maidle-thumbs-forum-crusader-kings-ii-succession-game-part-vii-riadsala/

Yeah, It's me up next. I'll have to read over the last post and see what I end up with. SuperBiased... assuming the game keeps going long enough, we can add your name on at the end of the list [although give priority to enthusiastic newcomers]. Expect an update from me by the end of the week

Distant Worlds would fit the bill wouldn't it? (I haven't played it myself, it's on "the list"). I hear there's a lot of scope in what type of game it can be depending on how you want to play it?

Good work. And, you're not overdue at all. As long as progress doesn't stall completely, there's no rush Nice too Actfred forging his own path.

I disagree, the AI is reasonable. Not doubt a good player can run circles around it, but I had fun with single player.

Because there's nothing to say. It's brilliant. End of show And with the remastered version coming out, why listen to 3MA chat about it when you could just go play straight away.

I like Endless Space. Although it's more of an abstract (board) game than a rich engaging simulation game. Sins of a Solar Empire is also great, although i think Rebellion was a backwards step in the series (the earlier mini-expansions are all great though).

I'll give it a look. Thanks

Is there a way to get more information on things in Ck2? For example, does the game keep a record of who was educated by who? Or why you have the option to righteously imprison somebody?

Hi, did you manage to get things working? No urgent rush, but if you think it's going to take a week+, we should swap the player order around a little.

hey, would you mind making a new thread with your thoughts on various history podcasts? It seems a shame to bury information away in this thread as I'm sure others will be interested. And it helps derail this thread! You appear reasonably well qualified to give some recommendations, and sensible enough to admit that "other opinions are available" Back on track: it's great that our succession game has it's own historian on hand

I think Carlin does a good job. I find his podcasts for more educational than anything that's on TV. And their entertaining - he's a good presenter. Sure, it's not as good as History of Rome, but what is Carlin also does a reasonable job of recommending books, so hopefully a few people end up reading up on topics after listening to his show.

It's an idea, and sure why not, but I don't think anybody should be under any pressure to "play well" when it's there turn. Part of the fun will be watching the ebb and flow :-) And I'm speaking of somebody who knows next to nothing about gaming the quirky mechanics, etc.

I'm sure Troy would tweet if we ask really nicely. Heck, he might even take a turn of playing a character. I'll try and get the blog version up-to-date in a day or so.

I don't hold out much hope for Mordhiem. I expect it to be sort of ok, but not really worth playing given the huge number of other games, unless you are heavily invested in the setting.
