Is EU4 harder than CK3?

EUIV is much, much harder to play than either CK2 or CK3. It is probably the hardest game by Paradox which hasn’t had a successor yet, minus maybe Vic2. I have some 1300 hours in EU4, and so far 50 hours in CK3 (and 250 in CK2).

Is Hoi4 like CK2?

In Ck2 you do not conquer a lot which is a very different experience than Eu4 and Hoi4. Sure the mechanics can be more simple yet that does not mean that it is easy to take over the world (militarily, at least, it is very difficult). Eu4 and Hoi4 are very similar. Ck2 is a completely different (yet still fun) genre.

Which is easier CK2 or Eu4?

EU4 is easier to learn, but less rewarding than CK2, but it’s all a matter of opinion. A lot of players from the previous generation of titles will tell you Vic2 and AoD are some of the best, but I find their learning curve and shoddy tutorial not worth the time when the other games are being released.

How long does it take to master Eu4?

100 hours in w/o any expansions. As long as your used to strategy games learning the basics takes around 15-20 hours.
