[quote who="Lord Xia" reply="17" id="3253272"]I've played CK2 hundreds of hours and have never played a game lasting longer than 230 years. I've usually accomplished what I set out to do and think of something else to try by then and start a new game. [/quote] Sounds long, but good. :) I once tried to script EU2 so that I could play France. I would build up France and then the events would split France into all it's vassal

I need to start a post relating the ridiculous off the wall statements you folks have made here on JU. This one is a good starter.

If we let Christians vote, they might vote for people who think like them and then they might shape society in good ways instead of the way we're going! Don't let Christians vote.

Europa Universalis isn't that daunting... CK seemed like it was a much bigger hurdle. Thanks for the info, though. The problem with replayability in this epic series is that I rarely have time for a single playthrough. Playing EU2 for 400 years worth of history is replayable, but I keep replaying the same first hundred years... :P

As for the knowledge to do it, you just told me that I needed experts to build a well. Who in the village is the expert to build the well? Nobody... that's why they need outside help. They don't have any money to build a well, because instead of doing things to produce more, they are traveling miles to get to water, to haul it up to their village. Water that's going to make them sick because the people upriver are putting things in it that aren't good t

Also, don't forget that there are idiots from all walks of life - your Christian acquaintance sounds like one of them. You can pray while you run. Maybe God sent him to do it, but because he didn't, God ends up looking bad, but somebody still needed to save her. Glad you did. It's not a bad idea to help people. Don't you understand what wells do? It takes water that's stuck in the ground and brings it up to the surface, to then evapora

What's funny to me is how smart atheists are to finally have seen through the Bible and how dumb everyone who ever walked the earth before them must be to believe in any sort of higher power. I don't think you understand what actually happened in Jesus' life. People were healed with no explanation. People who were blind, people who were lepers - people who people had known for DECADES were suddenly made whole. How did that happen? Why did

No, it's not the same God, because Mohammed's writing are 'more important' than the scriptures and outweigh them, so they do not worship the God of the Old Testament, but the God of Mohammed, who is a very different person. Jewish God, Catholic God, and Christian God are the same though.

Next time it's on sale, then, I'll probably end up with the complete pack. Honestly, it's more enlightening to hear someone who actually plays the game tell me why it's great, rather than a reviewer who is playing it for money telling me. Also, you're more likely to know about all the little quirks that bug you that a reviewer may have missed.

So can anyone sell me on CK2 over CK? Because CK isn't doing it for me, but I love EU, and I love the IDEA of managing a court and going from being a count up to being a Duke to being a King, but it isn't evident that I won't just end up having 4 daughters, dying, and that's game over.

I couldn't get into CK. Then again, I was trying to play Ryazan, and they have no-one in their court. How do you get more people in your court?

[quote who="ExpressoKid" reply="7" id="3252982"]Quoting Jythier, reply 5When my church group visited El Salvador, they built a well so that the people wouldn't have to drink water unfit for animals. ...but why do it? They lived already, right? Humans ARE animals, and humans are omnivores and scavengers, like hyenas, which means that humans can build defenses against most any natural environment and even benefit from it. In this "dirty water" there would be a rich amount of prot

Are you kidding me, ExpressoKid? Islam came to be, Mohammed wrote things about not forcing people to become part of Islam, because he had 10-20 followers. He left Mecca and found a place that was receptive to him, and then he had an army of 10,000. Then he wrote that you shouldn't leave the heretics alive, and that everyone should be Islam. Then, he invaded Mecca and everyone became Muslim. So, what really prompted the violent side of Islam was the

Not all people who claim to be Christians are Christians. No Christians are perfect. Also, Mexico is not the USA. They don't have our constitution. I'll let Mexico worry about Mexico for now. What is the 'Vedas'? Also, anywhere where Christianity has become an official or preferred religion is a place that will soon be acting non-Christianly, in the name of power for the non-Christians who were able to usurp the power of the church t
