Vic3, CK3 or Stellaris? (lemmygrad.ml)

I know pirating is always an option, and I used to play EU4 completely pirated.

But I got some credit remaining on Steam and they’re on sale right now, so lads, which should I go for?

Background info being I only played EU4 before, and enjoyed the nation-building side more rather than the military strategy. Although I was able to do some WCs back in the day and I do like micromanaging and extending a 20hr campaign into a 100hr one.

Tagging all because I'd rather just do a single reply since everyone mentioned similar things.

Yeah to be honest I was mainly looking at Vic3 or Stellaris in the first place, never was into the dynasties of the CK series that much.

The main issue is really just age, Vic3 in classic Paradox fashion, is often buggy and dysfunctional because it is a new release. Just wondered how much it improved since then, but from y'alls replies, it still has a long way to go.

I guess I'll settle for Stellaris for now. Thanks for the help.

I'll definitely play Vic3 one day though - it's mechanics and setting is just too interesting for me personally. But I'll give it more time for the devs to sort out everything before committing. When I got sucked into EU4, it was already like 4 years since release so I can definitely wait.

Not a bad choice at all! Stellaris is great fun, and Vicky 3 is still pretty much only for people who are willing to accept a bit of brokenness right now.
