If you love a good grand strategy game, then you should grab Crusader Kings 2 on Steam quickly as it is completely free to download.

    Whoa!! $4.99 a month for the expansions, or $253.75 to own them… Are they worth it?

      Worth pointing out that for all paradox grand strategy games the dlcs are shared during a multiplayer session. So if you play MP only the host needs to own them.

    I never could get into Crusader Kings or Europa Universalis. I generally love grand strategy and play a ton of things like Civilization but for some reason Paradox’s maze of menus and mechanics never seems to click for me.

      If you ever want to try getting back into EU4, Red Hawk’s videos may help it click: https://www.youtube.com/@TheRedHawk/videos

      I would recommend checking out EU4 again. It’s an amazing game if you like history.

      CK series is much more of a family simulator than country simulator, so that takes a bit of getting used to

      ck isn’t so much grand strategy to me as it is a game of thrones simulator. The game is WAY less fun if you try to play it optimally. Trying to generate a mad syphilitic king who married his horse and is trying to become the leader of a black magic cult is WAY more interesting.
