Title: EU III
Post by: Mangala on February 27, 2009, 12:08:51 PM: Is it worth me snagging off Steam?

I like the look of it, the depth it suggests attacts me... but is there anything horrid I should know?

Players can enjoy over 300 years of game play
Leveling will be quite slow i'm afraid...

Yes, it is definitively worth it, if you like proper strategy games!

Anything horrid...? Be sure your gfx card can handle the game. It doesn't run on steam-powered lap-tops, unlike some people seem to hope/believe. Other than that, I can only give my thumbs up (but then again I am biased :P).

The main game itself is fine.

Post by: Jarkko on July 21, 2009, 01:53:53 PM: We need to set-up a MP game at some point. Altough I've heard Steam EU3 has some issues if trying to MP with non-Steam EU3, dunno if that is true or just an urban legend though. Personally I have the boxed version, of course :)
Title: Re: EU III
Post by: Mangala on July 22, 2009, 06:39:58 AM: I'd be up for that - just give me a week or so to get a handle on the game so I dont embarass myself horribly.

Post by: Jarkko on August 03, 2009, 09:58:24 PM: The week Mangala mentioned a couple weeks ago hasn't gone yet :P
Title: Re: EU III
Post by: Mangala on August 04, 2009, 05:13:00 AM: Loving it so far. Tend to play it on steam in offline mode with my laptop disconnected from the net otherwise I wander away from it :D

Took me a while to get into it, but slowly and surely im finding it easier to figure out evey time I load it up. Started fresh games a few times to try out different strategies, still nowhere close to feeling able to MP it though.

Havent tried the HOI2 pack I bought yet, but most likely going to get HOI3 though :D

Post by: Jarkko on August 04, 2009, 03:01:10 PM: Btw, the HOI3 demo will be available for download from Fileplanet 58 minutes from now.

5) NOOB!
Title: Re: EU III
Post by: Warcold on August 05, 2009, 03:10:05 PM: just think it's stupid that hoi3.com says in news that demo is up and list will be updated, but that the list is nowhere to be found (not by NOOBs anyway)
