MODERATORS
I’d recommend Victoria 3. It’s like Civ but with a much better understanding of how politics work.
I usually just try to go communist revolution for whatever country I’m playing lol
Does that really work well on such a tiny screen?
Civ 6/7 works really well, tried Vicky3 and it's too much for the decks screen
Paradox games usually don’t work well for non-desktop.
Hell eu5 isn’t even planned to feature linux support.
I was mostly just recommending the game I don’t own a steam deck yet unfortunately so can’t speak from experience but I’ve heard it runs good on it and with it being turn based it’s not too bad with a smaller screen. I’ve played Civ 6 on my phone and it’s doable without too much trouble.
It’s honestly the game that’s probably going to have me get one since I have kids now and don’t have the time to sit down and play on my computer anymore
What about victoria 2 (it’s cheaper)
Why are you buying them? fitgirl is right there
Victoria 3 i has a better functioning economy and politics, and AI that is only partially braindead
Vicky 2 has the far better war system
I think the newer Paradox games actually have steam deck integration. You can run the older games but it might be a little clunky.
Haven’t played that one so can’t say how similar or different they are sorry.
Opensource vic2 (katherina engine I think) is probably the best variantion.
