Haha, and so it will always be :) join us!
 
Amazing that this forum is still active after all those years, and people are still friendly. Amazing!
Recently restarted playing EU2 again, and its still a great game :)

Whoah! Amazing to see you around, old man. Still living on your little island?

Yup, same place still.
How are you doing Nikolai II?
Anyone else for ye olde dayes still around?
 
Hmm.. I guess this forum is slow enough that we can reminisce about how we used to play, in a thread about whether we play or not. ;)

I'm fine, I'd say. Getting more to do at work, but keeping up with a bit of moderation to fight spam in old forums, since it is a nice hobby :)

Indeed some does liveth on. Surprisingly many grognards have gone to the wayside, however, but Castellon and BiB you should remember ;)

Hello kurtbrian! :) Haven't seen you around in a long time.
None of the newer games have taken your fancy?

Just like Mod powers :D

Although Uglyduck and Havard are both fallen heroes of the past..

(Also, I could echo beowulf:s question ;)

Haven't tried any of them tbh.
any recomendations?
newest I tried is Victoria I think :eek:o
 
you guys should play more eu2 multiplayer!:)
 
Only EU2 MP I've played was a round of Aberration - I can so very rarely devote straight uninterrupted hours for gaming. I need games I can pause half an hour for family business without a second thought. :cool:

My feelings exactly.
 
Yes

It's a great game. I still play it sometimes.

I have a little question. I know that the province file tells what tax level each province has (an excel document). I guess that this is the same for every game. But I played the Fantasia campaign recently and found a lot of very strange tax levels. Small and useless provinces had high tax levels, while historical and important ones had low levels. I guess that the Fantasia just remixes the tax level values... I can see no other explanation...
 
Yes, Fantasia randomizes the tax values. Also the native size and aggressiveness. (And - little plug here - in For the Glory, the goods are randomized also.)
 
Little offtopic now:
I always wondering what is this:
dummy.png

file from EU2\Gfx
AND
sandglass (EU2\Gfx\Interface\timglas.bmp) never worked but in FTG it works.
:confused:
 
The first one is a dummy default file used when a bmp file to be loaded is not available (this dummy file should never be used).

I personally cleaned the whole files structure for FTG. ;)
 
Lol... the funniest thing is that I came across my v1.0 of EU2 from 2001 and wondered if anyone still played it. I remember wast..uh.. enjoying this game for many hours. :rofl: I reinstalled it & loaded AGCEEP 157 and went to town. This truly is the best strategy game and, obviously, has endurance to last so long.

Thanks Johann & Paradox and MKJ (who I think started the mod)!

Cheers
 
YES! Still love EU2,HOI2. Vicky and are still on my hard drive.Paradox turned to shit when they went 3d. except for Rome.
