Oh my GOD how easy is this game?!?! I practically walked across the entire map with no-one stopping me, thousands of silver pieces that I couldn't spend no matter how hard I tried and 20K of victory points/honour. How does that work?

Whilst I initially liked the idea of the four power groups and upgrading buildings I quickly realised that with the immense wealth you very quickly amass they're slightly pointless as you can just upgrade and please people willy nilly. I really thought at one point that the game had been converted wrong and that it was missing a zero on all the events and requests as there was never a point when money (or lack of it) stopped me picking the choice that I wanted.

So not massively impressed. Maybe I'll try it again on the hardest setting and see if that's any better (I'm guessing not).
 
Yeah.. it's pretty easy. Though I think it's supposed to be.

exactly, I heard that this game was made in order to interset the youngest to strategy games.
Success?

but I found this game ...well.... 'funny', yes that's the word, 'funny'
I must confess that I played only one campain.Since that, CotN is sleeping in the dust of my room for monthes.Too easy

He means, try playing the game against another human. It will not be as easy....
 
In a MP game, this could be a serious challenge...
 
I think the strong point in COTN is Multiplay. It's fast and simlple and there's no naval attrition :) Though the 4 group model should've been more punishing. It's the only paradox game I can get my brother to LAN in, he finds the other ones to hectic(and he accuses me of reacting to slow to be able to play FPS :) )
 
i gotta say, that i am very dissapointed, with Paradox coming out with games like Victoria and EUII, i would have expected better.
 
still, if someone made some mods for it it might be better, but i don't know if thats even possible
 
i'm not sure for CotN, but there are like 50 mods for EUII (Age of Nationalism, Mongal Empire, Alternative Grand Campaign, etc etc) , and several for HoI (The Great War, CORE, Modern Age, Cold War, etc etc)
 
YES U CAN EDIT IT

this is an event from Db\event. It shouldn't be so hard to create some or to edit some, just change the trigger around and the affects
event = {
id = 1
style = 2
random = no
country = BIR
date = { year = 1278 month = january day = 0 }
action_a = {
command = { type = silver value = -100 }
command = { type = loyalty which = noble value = 1 }
command = { type = loyalty which = peasant value = -3 }
command = { type = recruit which = knight value = 1 }
command = { type = troop which = knight value = 20 }
command = { type = honor value = 50 }
}

action_b = {
command = { type = silver value = -50 }
command = { type = loyalty which = peasant value = -1 }
command = { type = recruit which = knight value = 1 }
command = { type = honor value = 25 }
}

action_c = {
command = { type = silver value = 100 }
command = { type = loyalty which = peasant value = 3 }
command = { type = loyalty which = noble value = -3 }
command = { type = loyalty which = priest value = -1 }
command = { type = troopprice which = crossbow value = -1 }
command = { type = troopprice which = sword value = -1 }
command = { type = recruit which = knight value = 0 }
command = { type = honor value = 10 }
}
}
 
well...
actually it's interesting to know that u can edit gamefiles, but the game is that boring...! I think I won' t re install the game untill few years.
Anyway, nice to know that we can do it
