I feel the same way, in fact after 20-30 minutes of Chivalry I switch over to a gsg to chill out. That said, playing CK2 with friends is really fun, and as the host I control the speed!Thunderous Cacophony said:Never really liked grand strategy games on multiplayer; to me, the best part about them is that I can set aside the frantic pace of other games and take my time to comprehensively survey my realm and decide upon the best course of action, changing things step-by-step and knowing that when I hit the "end turn" button it's because I have the most perfect arrangement.
The French were only the bad guys if you're very anti-imperialist. It'd be pretty hypocritical of us Brits to talk about the evils of Napoleon, so we just settle for calling the French cheese-eating surrender monkeys. They're not morally bad, they just suck.Lien said:Stop... stop... STOP! you gonna let a huge wage of pro french historian bursting in this comment section!

Nope. The problem with Napoleon was that he was too good to be French. He's Corsican. And while that was politically French, geographically it was not. THEREFORE. Napoleon was special. A Corsican leader of the French.More Fun To Compute said:So what you are saying to fend off criticism from people who are into military history is that the problem with Napoleon wasn't that he was a "baddie" but that he sucked at war?Thyunda said:The French were only the bad guys if you're very anti-imperialist.
