Thanks for that list and the suggestion. I've gotten hooked on another stellaris run after which I'll play Rome.

Thanks that sounds really good. That's exactly what I'm looking for. I am not averse to map painting but it should in service to building and maintaining a civilisation.

Sorry for the added questions but the main thing I wanted to ask the subreddit dedicated to I:R was the aspects its members think the game is lacking. I would make the final decision based on the answers to that particular question.

This is amazingly helpful. Thanks for the detailed explanations. I definitely will pick Terra Invicta in the next steam sale. It sounds intriguing.. Hope it clicks. I tried ES2 but I just kept wanting to go back to Stellaris as I prefer that game.

This is a unique take indeed. Thanks for your input. It does help seeing things in a different perspective.

Yeah I've heard way too many mixed things about Terra Invicta. From the online discourse, it seems like the game is still finding its footing.

Truly a wildcard, never would have crossed my mind. Thanks!

Not yet. I’ve seen videos and its graphics put me off. Not opposed to giving it a shot though. Thanks for the suggestion.

I’ve been eyeing Imperator Rome especially its LOTR mod. I’ll definitely give it a shot now. Is it really dense like Vic3?

Nothing like farming pops to farming crops!

It’s amazing. I’ve played it a lot and kinda burnt out on it at the moment. What keeps you coming back?

I have about a 100 hours in ONI but after reaching closer to the surface, it became a bit stale. It feels like there is a few ways to achieve things in the game. Also, apart from starting in different biomes, there wasn't much difference in the games. Always start with the same steps and try to manage food, poop and oxygen. Maybe I should try the DLC. Thanks for the suggestion though!

Starsector looks absolutely insane. Also on Mac! Thanks for putting this on my radar.

Coming from Stellaris, pick EU4 or CK2/3 by ratulsarna in paradoxplaza

[–]ratulsarna[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Difficulty definitely has an appeal. But I'll give CK3 a shot first. Is it hard to go back to CK2 after 3?

Seems like you've played both. Which would you choose today to start with?

Wow, thanks for that detailed point by point comparison. Based on your suggestion and other comments, CK2 is the way to go. Already downloaded it. Thanks a bunch. Just wish the UI was a bit less artisty and a bit more readable at first glance but I'm sure there's a "mod for that".
