The skaven DLC aren't too bad. Most of them add units that you should really only be using with that lord anyways.
With the exception of maybe stormfiends.

fuck that took forever, the way the enemies just get so many armies is obnoxious, I hate the final battle being so reliant on having heavy units that are good at fighting single entities, and some times the requirements for building things is bullshit. the last two hours were spent in pointless border wars while rebuilding Altdorf up to a top level settlement again after it was wiped out by a randomly spawned lizardmen army

Never played warhammer. Can someone fill me in on the lore plz. Like how the world came into existence and shit. Are there gods?

Right now I’m playing as some elf guy named Tyrion, there’s purple elf dudes, some weird purple tranny bitches, and I think my character is in love with some elf slut. Also now there are some pirates of the Caribbean skeleton faggots attacking my island. Plz fill me in.

Honestly dont like gemcraft. The gem combinations are cool until you find the most optimal combos to mana farm, and the enemy variety doesnt ask for much more out of you as you progress through the game besides making the best mana farm.

Tower defense bordering on RTS, thousands of units, good story campaign with a lot of humour.

The only mission where that is a problem is Rostja with the Great pyramids. You should not be taking that long in missions for it to effect you especially since you will be expanding out throughout the mission to get more workers in and so you will get a constant stream of young people too.
The way to fix this is to bulldoze the old people homes, let the emigrants leave the map and then rebuild the houses

Well, last I checked it, Retribution vanilla was pretty lively compared to some, no need to go to the game's exclusive discord or something to organize, even had matches with players not immediately steamrolling me.

When I tried to play 3 I was turned off by the seeming unit similarity/identicalness and the one thing I remember is succubus (dwarf) which I think was about as ugly as every other succubus but square-shaped. Also I didn't like how there were no High Men but what I've learned since then is that they deserved it and it should be done again. Maybe I should give it another go with the addon.

i dont get why eu5 is so hated on 4channel.com
this is the first paradox game in over a decade that's reversed the trend of simplifying and casualizing their games, as such i love it, i love the interconnected mechanics, i love popmaxxing, i love prosperity spamming, i love production efficiency, i love managing control and proximity, this game is truly great to me and the first time i've felt positively to the direction paradox are moving in since heart of darkness was released

yes, i don't like the lack of railroading, i hate megakyiv, mongol iraq, victorian mamluks, but these are simply balance changes, for example stuff like courts being full of injuns and china never reunifying has been fixed (though 1.4 seems to have partially fucked china again)
also a lot of the patches have been absolute dogshit, bricking the game, and show severe incompetence, but they tend to get hotfixed pretty quickly
the dlcs so far have been pure powercreep crap, which is poor and not a good thing
but mechanically the game is still good, and 1.4 seems to be moving positively, nerfing the infinite food and optimal urbanization meta, and the new trade orders make trade actually fun to interact with instead of just automate and forget it

what i'm asking is which of these is the correct assessment of the situation:
1. The people complaining are seething EU4 blobbers mad this isn't EU4:2
2. The people complaining are mad for legitimate grievances, like the ones i outlined
3. I simply have no taste, enjoy playing cookie clicker slop, and am retarded
D. All of the above

please help me im not used to not having people who share my opinion reassuring me im right about everything

It was the doubling down on "always online" from MoW Arena that everybody said was retard but they still did it anyways that made me lose all interest in MoW 2.

i reached the 2010 but then my road expenses were too high. The game forbids you from building roads if you want to be positive on road earnings. i cut all my deposits all my stations all my stops in half, which saved me. but then my actual road maintenance became too high. The only solution to compensate road expenses is to scale other things. It's crazy i cannot build a highway or a specialized station or i will go into massive debt. Same for any kind of infrastructure: why is a bus stop 25k per stop? Why a train station with 4 stops reach 1mil per year? It makes it impossible to use 90% of the trains available to make a line profitable. If I go above 1.5 mil in train running costs with a 90% load average, I barely have money to cover 1 train station with 2 platforms. And on this line i have 3 trains running. Like i cannot seem to make something profitable late game that covers the station expenses, which are already cut down to the bare minimum. It's not fun if i have to build Frankenstein trains to save some money so i can make my cities expand.

Yeah, the original Win95 version was indeed buggier than the DOS version, but it was a better starting point for an open-source engine. By now, all of its bugs have been fixed, and the fixes from the DOS fan patch 1.50 have also been backported.
