So, when the Papal State was wiped out, it picked Catholic converted Granada to become the new Papal State.

Once you stop worrying about the entire POP system's demands and learn to love Attract Socialism, things tend to get easier. I just wish wars weren't so rare. A GP has to get all the way to Friendly to intervene (so this more or less limits it to GB, France, and either Prussia or Austria but not both, and only for maybe half a dozen countries outside of India) and it's a rare and exciting occasion when there's any war that isn't so incredibly lopsided that you can't even offer the weaker side subsidies. It's also rare that any Great or Secondary Power will ally with another Great or Secondary Power. With luck, the Crisis system will fix this.

By far the best thing about Paradox games is when crazy stuff like this happens  Also I had always presumed Nerve Stapling was a means to essentially remove people's emotions more than anything else. They remain capable of working, after all, and operating a thermal borehole or something must need considerable technical knowledge. Just leave them as husks. Couple that with Yang's genejack development to specifically design people to work in factories and so on and I imagine Nerve Stapling is a precursor of that.

Kersch posted:So, when the Papal State was wiped out, it picked Catholic converted Granada to become the new Papal State. In CK2 it's possible to have a mirza character as the Pope. Just marry a sayyid woman, then make your son a bishop and then anti-pope. Then declare war on the pope in Rome to overthrow him. Presto, now you have a Pope who is a descendant of the Prophet (pbuh)!

Every time I go to Ikea I get home wanting to start a new game as Sweden in EUIII. Lately though I just can't play EUIII because I want EUIV already. It needs to hurry up and be released so I can bring the glory of cheap furniture to the world.

How terrible is it that I actually like the Magna Mundi HRE screen as a concept? I like having a visual representation of the electors, and I think it's cool how the emperor has a dynamic shield inside the imperial crest behind him. Broken Clocks and all.

Fintilgin posted:At this point I'm operating under the assumption that's it's not really a 'Cold War' game so much as a WWIII game. Of course, I was a fan of Balance of Power, and I lean towards thinking the military hardware fixation is literally missing the forest for the trees. It's going to be pretty depressing if a game from 1985 is a better political simulation and gets better results then EvW. Yeah, if you were to use an existing Paradox game as a model, you'd think EvW should try to be more like CK2 -- its character system would be great for handling everything from internal political factions to spy rings to guerrilla and revolutionary movements, which is the level at which a lot of the interesting post-WWII stuff happens, and would have a greater density of gameplay choices.

As a PR move, it'd be in Paradox's interest to give you (Wiz) some sort of role. You've got quite the fanbase here, and from what I understand, on the Paradox forums as well. Has anyone gotten a chance to try March of the Eagles? Is it any good? Is the "multiplayer focus" that the tagline is trying to sell actually a sign of some refined MP opportunities, or what?

Between people wanting CK2 aspects for EU4 leaders, people wanting CK2 aspects for Victoria's internal politics and this, Paradox should just straight up make Steppe Crusader Wolfe as the next DLC. From 867 to 1991 in a single game!

There was a ton of discussion on MotE when it came out. The general consensus seems to be that it's actually pretty good with some interesting warfare mechanics. The multiplayer focus basically means that the campaigns are relatively short and the AI/in-game diplomacy aren't really robust enough to hold your attention for more than a few single player games. Multiplayer seems to be about as refined as CK2. All the big multiplayer improvements are coming with EU4, interestingly enough.

I'd love it if HoD had some sort of way of automatically customizing stacks when I'm creating armies. AHD's rally point system was a great step in a right direction, but I hate having to spend 15 minutes splitting the rally point doomstack into smaller armies every time I train troops. It'd be great if there was some option to tell the game "create stacks of 6 guards and 4 artillery" so I didn't have to do it all manually.
