Ok, I've seen enough. I've had my fill, I've played my money's worth. When did you realize you were done with your favorite strategy game, and that it was time to move on?

EU2: When EU3 came out
EU3: When EU4 came out
EU4: When Mandate of Heaven came out
AoD: When I played each country I was interested in once
HoI4: When I realized that every DLC made the game shittier, and the base vanilla game was more fun
Stellaris: After one playthrough
CK3: One month after release
Victoria 3: One day after release

I don't want achievements. I don't want my steam friends to see what I'm up to. They don't need to know what I've done in-game.

You know that you can put them in private, right?
>>
>>2220592
I could do that, but also I want the game to be on my steam page. I want people to know I play these games, but I don't want them to see "progress" or whatever. What if one of my friends get competitive, or thinks he's better than me because he has achievements I don't have. By deliberately not getting achievements, it's a signal that I'm in it for the game itself, and I find that more noble.

>hoi 4
When I could do historical Germany runs better than the youtubers. I played OWB mod and it got me into game making, which is the next step in fun.
>CoH 2
When I realized that I had spent more time in WW 2 games than the time WW 2 actually lasted.
>WC 3
When they made it so I needed an dedicated external graphics card and ruined it by having to go through an app. Reforged ruined being able to play on just about any kind of system no matter how potato.
>ranked CounterStrike
When I realized it was me against the matchmaking system, similar to doing random 4's in RTS games. What the hidden player skill score did more to the game than my skill could ever do.

I would like to create a HOI4 mod, for no WW1, with the game set in the usual period of 36' to 45'.
>>
>>2220586
I have around 5k hours on HOI4, I mainly just use it for map painting nowadays.

you've drank your fill

>no WW1
Austria-Hungary fucking dissolves
Denmark gets further cucked
Is that Bulgaria that owns Constantinople??
Also, just a note here, in the event of the fall of the Austrian state, Hungary would definitely get partitioned by the powers around them, this is because the Hungarians basically registered all minorities as Hungarians as soon as they were able to speak it regardless of their opinion so they could lie to the Austrians about their numbers.

I like Hungary's odds. They're quite a large landmass and they kicked ass in 1848. They're geographically protected from the south and north and it wouldn't be crazy to suggest an alliance with Germany to protect their west. It looks like in this scenario Germany is calling the shots in Europe so.

For MP strategy games: When the meta gets stale or something new comes out. It's nice to rotate around though between whenever has the latest hype and whatever has a fun meta.
For SP strategy games: When I've beaten it thoroughly, but also when the UI becomes too unappealing.
That said, if a fun game is fun I like to come back to it months or years later down the line. Older games have their niches too: I don't play WC3 everyday anymore but it's always a favorite whenever I go to a LAN.
What I don't get it "I've played X billion hours of this game, I'll never touch it again." Not saying OP said that but I know a few people like that for several older games and it's just weird to me. Unless something happened to really turn me off from touching it again I won't write it off entirely.

>at war with USA on Allies' side
>civil war happens
>USA tag (MacArthur junta) somehow instantly flips to Allies
>previous war and war scores deleted
>FDR USA somehow gets control of all previously occupied territory
And I thought Italian civil war was cancer

As dogshit as this thread
>>
>>2220582
literally never
I replay total war atilla from time to time, always fun
recently had slavic conversion wre run, most busted shit you ever see (well excluding ere which is just btter but less of a challenge, sucks to play without 2h axes tho).
>>
>>2290217
absolute shit, its an actual downgrade of japs and chink trees are those of minor nations, not something big like soviets or italians in their dlcs
or even austria
absolutely horrible
>>
>>2290217
New doctrines are kinda cool
New focus trees are kinda ass
New navy stuff is a giant pain that is just a big middle finger to deathstackers
Coal is just a stupid idea in general but its a non factor for pretty much any nation with a focus tree

Holy fuck
I am amazed by this level of retardation. Truly stunning and brave.
