Have you ever found your way into the Baldur's Gate Mega Mod? And if so, how would the EE's compare to it? Speaking from my experience, I've found the Mega Mod to have enriched the trilogy so highly that I can't bear to try anything else that attempts to be "Baldur's Gate". I'm speaking from a...

You get the civil war event no matter who you play as, since I just got done fighting one as monarchial Macedon. I also think that the areas that revolt tend to be based on your public order of that province, since I was diligent about keeping my provinces happy and the only place that revolted...

Much digital ink has been already spilled with the gameplay issues. All I can say on that front is that I've experienced very few issues in my quest to rebuild the Macedonian Empire with more of a Mediterranean aspect, with either a bit of lag on the campaign map and not fully realized textures...

The suggestions I made were in response to his asking for the hardest start in CKII. Those were the hardest starts that came to mind for me.

Try the Petty Kingdom of Northumbria in 867 AD. Can you beat back the giant horde of angry Norsemen on your doorstep at the outset? And then unify the British Isles under your Anglo-Saxon Rule? Then turn Britannia into a major European power for the rest of the Middle Ages heading into 1444...

The good people at Paradox have finally fulfilled a dream of their fanbase: they have made an official converter for two of their games! It's for porting over the Crusader Kings II world into their upcoming Europa Universalis IV! The catch: It is only done through a preorder offer. I was...

Couldn't have said it better myself. Well done.

Well, I guess that Flemeth just isn't very good at killing Morrigan.

I never read the books, but this came as no major surprise to me. If there is one thing that I've learned from this series, it's that being "the good guys" in Westeros (n.b, not as evil as everyone else) is no defense in amount of backstabbing that goes on. The end of Season 1 rammed that lesson...

Hopefully he has better luck than when Stan tried it with Wendy... And while we're on the subject of evil mantises...

Okay, with Assassin's Creed, we had Templar knights. With Assassin's Creed 4, now we've got Templar pirates. Now we just need Assassin's Creed 5's Templar vikings to complete the set.

How about laugh? I sure did.

That should make you feel better.

Considering that the current incumbent of the American White House, who has a flair for ruling by executive order and strongarm tactics, is snatching more and more power from the American states, the American people and the other branches of government with each passing year, and conentrating it...

I certainly like the aesthetics of the EE's new cinematics. But I might just wait for someone to mod that into the Baldur's Gate Trilogy mod and co-opt it. After my butt-kicking-for-goodness Cavalier's story, I'm probably going to re-roll as a Monk or something once I have a reason to revisit...
