V for Vegas posted:So the preorder bonus for HoD is Victoria? Does anyone buying a V2 expansion not already have that? I think it's Victoria 1 Complete. People wouldn't necessarily have that yet, especially since V2 is the more accessible of the two. I wish Paradox would go back to update their Europa engine games, though. I have a low-power laptop that'd be perfect for playing CK1 and Ricky on, but having to track down widescreen patches and windowed mode patches is a hassle. A generic launcher to take care of all that would be a godsend. I already play DH on that laptop for that reason.

Qwo posted:Was it ever addressed why, in EU Rome, there was only ever ONE Consul? I can't believe I never noticed this before (I never really played as Rome). It has to be a hard-coded limitation, right? It seems kind of bizarre. My impression was that Rome was developed as a smaller title with quicker turn-around, more like Shogun or MotE, instead of as a 'major' flagship game like EU or HoI, and thus they only had the time/resources to make a generic one-size-fits-all republic government. I assume a bigger and better Rome II would be improved in this regard.

I would expect EU:Rome 2 to be awesome now that Paradox has the one person who played EU:Rome for longer than 20 minutes working for them.

Everything worth keeping from EU Rome could be tacked onto a CK2 DLC more easily than making a whole game out of it. If Sengoku can be turned into a CK2 mod then I don't know why EU Rome can't.

Watch out, you don't want to give them any ideas about making CK2+ paid DLC. (I'm joking)

If Sengoku can be turned into a CK2 mod then I don't know why EU Rome can't. I think you would have to make some non-merchant Republican mechanics first. I personally like the idea of the house and the different factions in Rome, so trying to find a way to implement that balance-of-power in a Republic would be quite difficult/janky under current CK2 mechanics.

It was a nice idea and the presentation was okay, but it sounded so bad and so very, very Swedish Causus Belli was the weakest song, but you missed out if you didn't hear the others, especially Prestige, which I legitimately love. "Doesn't he see at all that Prussia's going to conquer him soon? Doesn't he see at all that all I want to conquer is his heart?"

I just westernized as the Ottomans like 25-30 years ago and I still get events about reactionaries rebelling and such, although they're pretty rare by now. For how long am I going to get these events until the people accepts being western?

Rome-era games are rare enough, but Rome-era games that try to deal with Rome-era politics are so few and far between that any attempt at it, however flawed, is going to generate a lot of buzz just because of the dearth of competing material.

Resist western influences until you are back to 3 stability and can take the military modernization decision (which also requires 7 ADM). In DW I generally don't feel the need to westernize as the Ottomans though. If you push through Iran and India you will have a fuckton of money and can easily catch back up in tech. Before that the 85% tech rate will still let you keep up in the critical areas. Ottoman military units are fine, particularly when your forcelimits will allow you to field 200+ units against the west relatively easily after a little expansion in your chosen area.

I apologise if this has been asked before and I missed it, but does HoD have a definite release date yet? The website just says Q2. Also the OP needs to be updated, MotE has been out for almost two months now.
