  3. If it was mod for CK2 or 3 I might had smidge of interest in this, decent lore, but EU is boring by design. Also were there any logical or lore reason to let Ducaniel live, without even sapping his power to extent of it being useless, it is not like you would turn him in martyr or something like that by executing him, he was a criminal, cannot say the elves deserved it but they kind of did.

  4. Hell, not seen the auld saga land of the endless sun game in years, think that was my first touch wi' dnd, guid wee game for its time. If any yin is fan of those, there's a mod that changes the golden axe game intae that in yin of the recent steam collections they put out.

  5. Anbennar used to be fun back before mission trees for every fkin nation. The mission trees essentially lock you into a single possible playthrough and many of them depend on RNG and very specific stuff to happen that's not under your control. The mod used to be a fun total conversion, now it's just a vessel for it's "devs" writing – you MUST play their story or fuck off. It's the exact opposite of DnD.

  6. Of course you need to buy EU4 with a lot of it's DLC first. Which is a hefty investement in the best of times xD
    However you do have a subscription service nowadays, where you get access to all DLC for a monthly payment, which is absolutely worth it imo

  7. this is such a good primer for Anbennar! I love the way you put so much more detail and emotion in than you get from the little scripts in the game. In-game you get to read things from one perspective warped by lack of knowledge and biases, so I've always wanted something that ties the lore together in a grander way and even reading the wiki I think this is the only thing I've seen that tells the grand narrative of the whole world. Thank you so much!

  8. The whole mod is very well thought out. The nature of mixing D&D with Europa universalis really comes together around cannor where it feels like you've got everything from the ancient world up to the french revolution mixing together perfectly.
